The third laboratory was filled with the smell of smelting metal. On the cold metal workbench, the Mithril substrate reflected the cold light of the Soul Guidance Lamp.
Huo Yuhao's breathing almost stopped. In the pale blue vision opened by his Spirit Eyes, the microscopic structure of the soul-guided alloy was clearly visible.
The carving knife in his hand transformed into a silver streak, its tip precisely cutting into the gaps in the crystal lattice, bringing up fine energy fragments as thin as hair.
Before the Soul Power circuit was even fully inscribed, pale blue energy particles were already rehearsing their execution trajectories in the Spirit Eyes's vision, like star trails.
The blade subtly adjusted its position three degrees, avoiding a natural inertia point in the soul guidance system—a potential hazard that could cause an ordinary Soul Engineer to fail at the last moment.
"Buzz..."
The Core Array lit up with bright golden light patterns, and the floating timer froze at 13 minutes and 22 seconds.
Ju Zi, who was watching from the sidelines, stared wide-eyed. Although Huo Yuhao's talent in Soul Tool had repeatedly reshaped her understanding, this information still left her speechless.
Even with her current strength as Level 4 Soul Engineer, she might not be able to complete the inscription of the Core Array of a second-level Soul Tool so quickly.
Huo Yuhao embedded the Core Array, about the size of a walnut, into the gun's base.
As the last piece of outer armor clicked shut, the entire weapon gleamed with a mercury-like sheen.
Xuan Ziwen appeared in front of the control panel like a ghost, and with a wave of his hand, the control panel in front of the control panel automatically lowered.
" Yuhao!"
He called out, Huo Yuhao instantly understood what his senior brother, who was acting as a substitute teacher, meant.
Holding the Soul Guidance Ray Gun horizontally, without even needing to aim, he simply raised his hand and fired a shot with the aid of his Martial Soul.
"Bang!"
A golden beam of light shot out from the muzzle, and a hole appeared in the target that had already risen in the distance.
Liquid metal was even flowing down the metal target, clearly indicating that the previous shot contained extremely high temperatures.
The laboratory suddenly fell silent, everyone staring at the golden Soul Guidance Ray Gun in Huo Yuhao's hand.
Xuan Ziwen snatched the Soul Tool from Huo Yuhao's hand. The moment the Soul Tool touched the gun, it sounded an alarm, and the data on the display screen jumped wildly.
"A 128% energy conversion rate?!"
Xuan Ziwen's voice changed. "This has exceeded the limit of a level two Soul Tool!"
Clearly, Huo Yuhao had once again given his senior brother a surprise today.
The notebook in Ju Zi's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter." Her red lips parted slightly, and after a long while, she exclaimed in shock, "Junior Uncle, you've only been studying with the teacher for six months, haven't you?"
Huo Yuhao's knowledge of Soul Tool was basically taught by Xuan Ziwen, but since he was Kong Deming's last disciple, he was naturally Ju Zi's junior uncle.
Ju Zi's Martial Soul is only of the Auxiliary System, and she doesn't have much talent in Soul Master cultivation, but she is a genius in Soul Tool. Otherwise, Xuan Ziwen would not have taken her as his disciple.
At first, she couldn't bring herself to call Huo Yuhao, this suddenly appearing junior uncle.
However, as Huo Yuhao gradually revealed his talent, she now called him "Junior Uncle" with genuine respect.
Xuan Ziwen laughed and said, "That's right. Being able to independently create a level two Soul Tool, Yuhao, you're already a true Level 2 Soul Engineer."
"And you've only been using Soul Tool for six months now, yet you've already broken the academy's record!"
Huo Yuhao has been a student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy for six months now. In these six months, he has not only been learning about Soul Tool, but has also spent half of his time cultivating as Soul Master.
In those six months, Huo Yuhao's Soul Power increased to level 20; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to create a level 2 Soul Tool due to insufficient Soul Power.
It can be said that Huo Yuhao's Soul Power cannot keep up with his improvement in Soul Tool technology; otherwise, he would have become Level 2 Soul Engineer a month ago.
Leaning against the wall, Kong Xuan laughed, " Yuhao, your speed has broken Xiao Hongchen's record! Let's see if he can still be so arrogant when we meet him later, always saying he's a genius in Soul Tool, a once-in-a-millennium talent."
Kong Xuan remembered that in the original novel, Huo Yuhao took eight months to become Level 2 Soul Engineer at the Shrek Academy. Now that he had come to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, he had achieved this achievement two months earlier.
Huo Yuhao, who had put down his carving knife, was a little embarrassed by everyone's praise. He smiled and scratched his head, saying, "It's all thanks to my senior brother's excellent teaching. Besides, without the resources provided by the school and teachers, my Soul Power wouldn't have improved so quickly."
The time Huo Yuhao spent studying in the Sun Moon Empire was the happiest period of his life since his mother's death.
There are teachers who patiently impart knowledge, classmates who accompany you as you grow, and elders who care for you.
All of this was something Huo Yuhao never dared to imagine before.
Ju Zi joked, "But more importantly, it's your talent, Junior Uncle. If you're modest about this, it makes us look really stupid."
Huo Yuhao just smiled when he heard this. He, who had always been called a good-for-nothing, had become a genius here.
However, he was very happy to be praised like that.
Kong Xuan walked over from the wall. "Now that the Soul Tool is finished, Uncle-Master, I'll take Yuhao with me!"
Before Huo Yuhao started making the Soul Tool, Kong Xuan had told him that he had something to discuss with Huo Yuhao that day.
Xuan Ziwen nodded. "There's nothing else here, Yuhao, you can go with Kong Xuan."
"Okay, senior brother!"
Huo Yuhao turned and walked towards Kong Xuan, wondering what he wanted to see him about today.
"Come with me."
Kong Xuan's expression was serious, and a hint of unyielding authority flashed in his golden pupils.
Huo Yuhao quickly followed, a chill running down his spine as he realized that what was about to happen might not be simple.
The two wandered through the academy's intricate corridors and passageways. Throughout the journey, Kong Xuan remained silent, his expression grave.
Huo Yuhao's doubts deepened, but he also understood that Kong Xuan must have a reason for being so secretive.
Finally, Huo Yuhao followed Kong Xuan into a cultivation room.
The interior space isn't large, but it's arranged in a very simple yet practical way.
The walls were inlaid with gemstones that emitted a soft glow, illuminating the room as if it were daytime.
Kong Xuan turned to look at Huo Yuhao, his expression becoming increasingly serious. He slowly said, " Yuhao, let Tian Meng come out."
Huo Yuhao was taken aback upon hearing this. Although Kong Xuan knew of the existence of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, he had once been worried about it.
However, after arriving at Sun Moon, Kong Xuan never mentioned the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
Seeing Kong Xuan's serious expression, Huo Yuhao knew that it must be something important.
He called out " Brother Sky Dream " in his mind, but received no response for a long time.
Left with no other choice, Huo Yuhao had to immerse himself in the Sea of Consciousness, where he found the figure of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, before he could even speak, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice rang out first.
" Yuhao, they really are going to make a move against my brother!"
