Was he supposed to hand over the Dragon Core?
But that was meant for Bei Bei, his only great-great-grandson.
Although Bei Bei was now wholeheartedly devoted to the Tang Sect...
No matter what, he was still the only family I had left in this world...
Mu En gazed helplessly at the Golden Ancient Tree on his forehead, two little figures fighting in his mind.
The Body Sect's main hall.
Du Busi, who was preparing to lead a team to Sunset Forest, had a change of expression when he heard Huo Yuhao's proposal.
"You're saying you want to assign a group of people to research Soul Tools?"
"Yes, Grandpa Du. Right now..." Huo Yuhao tried to continue, but Du Busi, whose expression was growing darker, cut him off.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao swallowed. Vina, who stood beside him, grew nervous as well.
I told him it wouldn't work.
Du Busi asked in a deep voice, "Yuhao, I hold you in high regard."
"But do you know the consequences of having our Body Sect develop Soul Tools?"
Faced with Du Busi's questioning and his fierce gaze, Huo Yuhao grew even more nervous.
The other Titled Douluo and those present all prayed for Huo Yuhao's safety. He was bold, far too bold.
Du Busi stared at Huo Yuhao and said, "The consequence is..."
"Our Body Sect will only grow stronger and stronger! Hahahaha!!"
At those words, everyone present froze.
No matter how hard they thought, they could never have imagined that the sect would not scold Huo Yuhao, but would instead strongly agree with him.
Vina covered her little mouth in surprise.
Th-this was right?
Huo Yuhao froze for a moment, then laughed. "Grandpa Du, you nearly scared me to death."
Du Busi patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and said casually, "Yuhao, since you've come up with this idea, that means you're absolutely confident!"
"I trust you, but I have one condition. Before I return, I want to see a decent, practical Soul Tool, regardless of its rank."
He had considerable faith in Huo Yuhao's Soul Tool skills.
When it came to Soul Tools, Huo Yuhao could truly be called a genius.
He had thought that his arrival, having changed Huo Yuhao's predetermined fate, would also put an end to his Soul Tool research.
Never had he expected Huo Yuhao to suddenly propose developing Soul Tools.
He could already imagine the Body Sect possessing Soul Tool technology that surpassed Shrek's!
"Sect Master..." Void Pupil Douluo had barely spoken when a look from Du Busi forced him to retreat.
"Are you questioning me?!"
"No, no!" Xu Tong hurriedly shook his head.
Du Busi looked around at those present and said, "I said that if the first Soul Tool Huo Yuhao makes meets with my approval, I will naturally promote it with all my strength. But if it doesn't, the project will be canceled!"
"Do any of you still have objections?"
"No!" Xu Tong and the others shook their heads repeatedly.
Du Busi continued, "Pass down my order. Assign a few nimble disciples to help Huo Yuhao develop Soul Tools. There must be no mistakes!"
"Yes!" The Body Sect disciples who heard the order immediately went to make the arrangements.
After giving Huo Yuhao instructions on a few important matters, Du Busi immediately led the team away, heading to Sunset Forest to hunt for Soul Rings and Soul Beast meat.
"Phew..." Huo Yuhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been scared to death.
Grandpa Du truly was an old blade that had not lost its edge, and his playful side had flared up.
Just then, inspiration struck Vina, and she seemed to have come up with an amusing idea.
She looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Junior Brother, count me in on the Soul Tool research."
Huo Yuhao looked at Vina in puzzlement. "Nana, you have an idea for a Soul Tool too?"
"Mm-hmm, I just thought of a suitable one." Vina nodded lightly, the smile in her eyes lingering.
"Sister Nana, could you tell me about it?"
"Nope, it's a secret. It wouldn't be fun if I told you now."
Before long, Elder Golden Body brought some Body Sect disciples before Huo Yuhao and Vina.
Elder Golden Body pointed at the disciples and said, "Young Sect Master, these are our Body Sect's most promising disciples. Please have a look."
"Thank you, Elder Golden Body."
Huo Yuhao's gaze fell on the four Body Sect disciples Elder Golden Body had brought.
One of them caught Huo Yuhao's attention. No, two of them, to be precise.
The first disciple was plain-looking, but he had one thick arm. Huo Yuhao remembered that his name was Yu Tao. In the original work, he and a Soul Master whose Martial Soul was a brain had come to arrest him.
The other had a slender build, delicate features, and a pair of exceptionally bright eyes. This fellow should be Gu Tong, who had fought on behalf of the Snow Demon Sect.
The third was a young woman with an ordinary face and an excellent figure. Her Martial Soul was her hands.
What was her name again...?
I remember now. Just like Gu Tong, she was Jiang Yixi, who also fought on behalf of the "Snow Demon Sect."
Wait.
Taking another look, Huo Yuhao realized that, apart from Yu Tao, the other three disciples before him were all old friends who had fought on behalf of the "Snow Demon Sect."
The last was Wang Yanfeng, whose Martial Soul was his palms.
It had to be said that Elder Golden Body had put considerable thought into choosing these disciples.
They were either nimble or had excellent powers of observation and mental states.
Elder Golden Body looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Young Sect Master, the Soul Tool laboratory is being renovated. Please wait one more day."
"Mm, sorry for the trouble, Grandpa Jin Shen." Huo Yuhao nodded lightly.
"No trouble, no trouble at all."
After giving Gu Tong and the others several important instructions, Elder Golden Body left.
Yu Tao could not resist stepping forward and asking Huo Yuhao, "Young Sect Master, what should we prepare next?"
After thinking for a moment, Huo Yuhao took out four or five stacks of paper from inside, handing four stacks to Yu Tao and the others and the last one to Vina.
Just this?
Yu Tao and the others frowned as they took the papers, but when they unfolded them-
The papers slid down like an assembly line, all the way to Huo Yuhao's feet.
Their jaws dropped, and they stared dumbfounded. Vina even gave up on unfolding hers.
Gu Tong said in surprise, "Young Sect Master, surely these aren't all things we have to..."
"That's right. You all need to read them carefully. They contain the basic theories of Soul Tools." Huo Yuhao nodded.
Yu Tao, Wang Yanfeng, Jiang Yixi, Gu Tong, and the others stared at Huo Yuhao in shock.
The basic theories of Soul Tools?!
"The Soul Tools I want you to make are a defensive Soul Tool, the Soul Tool Shield; an offensive Soul Tool, the Godly Zhuge Crossbow Cannon; and lastly, the Soul Ring Storage Device." Huo Yuhao did not keep it from them, telling them about the three Soul Tools they were going to make.
Vina said in surprise, "Wait, Yuhao, what did you say?"
"You want to develop a Soul Tool that can store Soul Rings?"
The others were also deeply shocked to hear about this Soul Tool.
Soul Ring Storage Device.
They could rack their brains until the heavens broke and still never imagine that a Soul Tool capable of storing Soul Rings could be developed!
If it really were developed...
