Hua Yichen: I'm Jealous

"Principle of Soul Spirit Bestowing Multiple Soul Rings"

"Distribution of Inherited Soul Spirit Families"

"Common Knowledge of Mecha Manufacturing"

In the East Sea Spirit Pagoda Library, Anya watched Huo Yuhao sink into a world of books, ten conspicuous volumes piled beside him. The corner of her eye couldn't help twitching, and she felt it was necessary to tell the Tower Master and put some limits on Huo Yuhao.

Geniuses were people too, not machines!

Over the past month, Huo Yuhao had either been cultivating or reading at home and in the library, living the same three-point routine every day.

If he had only been putting on an act, that would have been one thing, but Anya had tested him a little and discovered that Huo Yuhao's understanding of many fields of knowledge was actually stronger than hers!

One had to know, her Side Profession was Mecha Designer, and she was currently an Intern Soul Spirit Researcher at the Spirit Pagoda. A six-year-old child was better than her?

Was that reasonable? That was not reasonable!

Anya strongly suspected that ever since Huo Yuhao joined the Spirit Pagoda, he had not slept properly at all, spending the entire day on studying and cultivation.

"Sister Anya? Are you here to borrow books too?"

After Huo Yuhao finished reading the last book, he was just about to leave when he saw Anya standing off to the side. He picked up a book at hand and handed it to her.

"I recommend you read this one. Its insights into soul spirits are very unique, and it should help with your internship."

One could never underestimate the wisdom of others.

After long ages of development and evolution, the knowledge systems of soul spirits and Soul Tools had become extremely vast. He needed to invest large amounts of time and energy into learning them before he could make them his own.

Anya glanced at The Similarities and Differences Between Soul Rings Produced by Soul Spirits and Transformed Soul Beasts in her hand. The corner of her eye twitched, and she forced a smile. "Yuhao, thank you. I'll read it later. But I actually came here to look for you."

Anya quietly put the book away, planning to find a chance to put it back later, then continued, "You haven't forgotten what day it is today, have you?"

Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin and replied, "The one-month anniversary of me joining the Spirit Pagoda?"

Anya: "..."

She hadn't expected this child to be quite so narcissistic.

"Just kidding."

Huo Yuhao smiled. "I still remember. The auction is about to begin, right?"

He hadn't had the chance to enjoy whale glue ten thousand years ago, but this time, he did have the opportunity to give it a try.

Only...

"Why is the Tower Master personally accompanying me?"

At the entrance of the Spirit Pagoda, Huo Yuhao looked at Hua Yichen, who was waiting there, then glanced at the utterly baffled Anya. His brow twitched.

As the Tower Master, was Hua Yichen a little too idle? In the past month, they had met at least ten times, hadn't they? Didn't he have anything else to do?

On the other side, Hua Yichen looked at Huo Yuhao in formal attire and smiled in satisfaction.

"It suits you very well."

At this moment, Huo Yuhao had changed into a specially made silver-patterned formal outfit from the Spirit Pagoda. It was also one of the items in that Storage Ring, specially prepared for him to attend formal occasions.

Then, seeming to notice their doubts, Hua Yichen explained:

"There's been a change in plans. The final item in this auction is very precious. All the prominent figures of Eastsea City will be present, so it's most appropriate for me to go in person."

Huo Yuhao's expression shifted. He nodded thoughtfully, then got into the Soul Guidance Car with Hua Yichen and headed for the city center, leaving Anya alone in the wind, completely disheveled.

Wasn't this supposed to be her job?

No matter how precious the auction item was, there was no need for the Tower Master to go in person, right?

Could it be that the rumors were true, that the Tower Master liked wandering around and strolling through the streets and alleys?

It really did match the Tower Master's title...

Eastsea City's auction house was jointly run with the museum. The museum had a dedicated exhibition area for auction items, and auctions were held there regularly.

Huo Yuhao remembered descriptions of this place. When Tang Wulin had been troubled over undoing the Golden Dragon King Seal, this place had been mentioned.

Thinking of the Golden Dragon King, Huo Yuhao looked at the scenery flashing past outside the window and fell into thought.

In the Battle of Douluo God Realm, Huo Yuhao actually had not played a very large role. He had either been fetching reinforcements or on the way to fetch reinforcements. His battle with Destruction had only displayed his talent to become a God King, without producing any substantial results.

Moreover, since he had not become a god, Tang San would definitely change his plan. The Goddess of Life also had a habit of siding with outsiders, helping Tang San oppose her own husband, so the outcome of the God Realm Civil War most likely would not change.

Then the Golden Dragon King God Core would still end up in Tang Wulin...

"You're thinking about the Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue, aren't you?"

Hua Yichen noticed something odd about Huo Yuhao and smiled. "With the Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue and the Spirit Ascension Pill assisting you, your first soul spirit can be raised to the Thousand Year Level in the shortest possible time."

"You're the first person I've ever seen who could reach this level not long after obtaining a soul spirit."

At this point, Hua Yichen paused, then looked at Huo Yuhao. "However, the stronger your talent is, the more you must learn restraint. Don't become arrogant or spoiled. How is your mastery of the Simulation Soul Skill?"

"My First Soul Skill isn't Simulation."

As he said words that made Hua Yichen frown, a yellow soul ring appeared around Huo Yuhao, and he directly activated Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing. "Please relax your mind. I'll let you experience it."

For a moment, the scenery flashing past outside the car became clear in Hua Yichen's eyes, and all sorts of details, such as the tire marks on the road and the internal structure of the Soul Guidance Car, also fell into his view.

For a moment, even with Hua Yichen's temperament, his expression froze, uncertainty and shock rising in his heart.

"This is my First Soul Skill, Spiritual Detection Sharing."

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "At present, it can detect anything within a radius of twenty meters. If I narrow the detection range, I can increase the precision. It's very helpful for researching Soul Tools and soul spirits. As for Simulation, I plan to leave it as my Second Soul Skill. There shouldn't be any problem with doing that, right, Teacher Hua?"

Hua Yichen said, "That's right. You didn't choose wrong..."

It was more than not wrong. This was practically divine craftsmanship!

Hua Yichen took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and looked at Huo Yuhao with a complicated expression.

Why had he placed the Ice Silkworm in front of Huo Yuhao for him to choose? Because the Ice Silkworm was also his first soul spirit, and he had personally experienced just how practical the Simulation Soul Skill was!

But could someone tell him why, when they were both Ice Silkworms, his soul spirit had only given him Simulation, and not the soul skill Spiritual Detection Sharing? Could Huo Yuhao's Ice Silkworm have mutated?

Yes, Hua Yichen was jealous. Extremely jealous!

It could be said that as long as he had this soul skill, even if Huo Yuhao could not reach the pinnacle on the path of a soul master, he could still reach the peak of professions like Mecha design and Mecha manufacturing!

While Hua Yichen's emotions were fluctuating, the Soul Guidance Car also arrived at East Sea Museum.

Hua Yichen, still within Spiritual Detection Sharing, instantly sensed a special person.

East Sea Museum was located slightly south of the center of Eastsea City, a cluster of simple, ancient-looking buildings. It was made up of one main building and two auxiliary buildings.

In front of the museum, two people stepped out of a car.

One of them was a pretty girl with a golden ponytail and azure eyes. The other looked around forty years old, and his silver-gray fitted outfit outlined his powerful build. On the left side of his chest hung a badge.

The badge's base color was gold, with a slightly raised hammer design. Every star on it was black, eight in total, indicating the other party's status as an Eight Star Saint Craftsman!
