"No charging?! Your Soul Tool doesn't have a charging core, how did you do that? Those few fireballs just now definitely had the power of Level 5 Soul Tool, how did you manage that?!"

Xuan Ziwen stared at Huo Yuhao in disbelief, her hands even instinctively grabbing his shoulders.

" Teacher Xuan, please calm down, please calm down..." Huo Yuhao advised.

Xuan Ziwen shook Huo Yuhao vigorously, her face flushed with excitement.

" Yuhao, do you even know what it means to not use a charging Core Array?! If this technology could be applied to other Soul Tool, it would be a revolutionary breakthrough!"

"This means that ordinary people can also use Soul Tool, and the status of Soul Master and Soul Engineer will be greatly affected!"

Huo Yuhao smiled wryly, " Teacher Xuan, even though that's the case, please don't get agitated."

"Oh, sorry, I got too excited." Xuan Ziwen awkwardly let go of his hand.

"By the way, does this Soul Tool have a name? Also, can you sell this Soul Tool to me? You can name your price, as long as I can afford it!" Xuan Ziwen asked somewhat eagerly.

Huo Yuhao shook his head and refused, saying, " Teacher Xuan, how should I put it? Even if I give it to you, you probably won't be able to keep it."

"Hmm? What do you mean? So you won't sell it?" Xuan Ziwen shook his head with some regret. "That's true, after all, this kind of technology is unique."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, Teacher Xuan, that's not what I meant. But I really can't give you this technique. You can take a look for yourself."

It wasn't that Huo Yuhao didn't want to give it to Xuan Ziwen Xuan Ziwen, but even if he did, the Soul Tool would probably be secretly taken away by 'Si' tonight.

So how could Xuan Ziwen possibly stay?

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Xuan Ziwen's eyes lit up immediately, but he quickly waved his hand in refusal.

Although he really wanted to understand the contents, as Level 8 Soul Engineer, he knew how important the core part of a Soul Guidance work was.

Out of respect, Xuan Ziwen couldn't do such a thing. Even with Huo Yuhao's consent, he was unwilling to do it without paying the due price.

"Alright, you can keep it. I acknowledge your abilities, but perhaps I really can't teach you anything more about innovation. You can learn on your own if you want, but I have one condition: you must come to the lab every day."

" Dean Hongchen has set attendance times for all of you. If you don't meet the requirements, it will be very difficult for me. By the way, if you want to enter Illustrious Virtue Hall, I can apply for you later, since your abilities are more than sufficient."

Although Huo Yuhao didn't have a strong desire to visit Illustrious Virtue Hall, he thought it wouldn't hurt to go in and take a look, so he finally nodded.

Xuan Ziwen looked at the Soul Tool in Huo Yuhao's hand and finally sighed helplessly, "Alas, what a pity. If we could understand the technology within, I believe this world would undergo earth-shattering changes."

Huo Yuhao agreed, " Teacher Xuan, you're right. Actually, I don't care about this technology at all. If you want it, I can give it to you, but you have to consider the consequences yourself."

Xuan Ziwen fell silent. Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, he immediately fell into thought. He had been so focused on the impact this technology would have that he hadn't considered the extent of its influence on the world once it became widespread.

Because the speed of technological development is simply beyond their imagination.

Humans are creative; once a clear breakthrough is found, many difficulties can be overcome, and it's even possible that future weapons will no longer require such capabilities.

The fact that ordinary people can possess the power of Soul Master and Soul Engineer means that Soul Power will not become the mainstream, and Soul Master and Soul Engineer may even be eliminated as a result.

The matter involves enormous complexities, far beyond the control of someone as low as an Level 8 Soul Engineer.

Xuan Ziwen felt increasingly frightened as he thought about it, and even broke out in a cold sweat.

Quickly wiping the sweat from his brow with his sleeve, Xuan Ziwen bowed to Huo Yuhao and thanked him, " Yuhao, thank you. I hadn't even thought about it that much; you reminded me."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, as if he could see through Xuan Ziwen's thoughts, and continued, " Teacher Xuan, you can rest assured that Soul Power cannot be replaced. You must understand that it is the most mysterious thing in this world. However, this technology is not impossible to promote, it's just that the time is not right..."

As Xuan Ziwen listened to his words, he met Huo Yuhao's deep eyes. He felt as if he could see the passage of time. In short, he felt that Huo Yuhao had a kind of temperament that he had never seen before.

Finally, he took a few deep breaths, temporarily abandoning the idea, and led Huo Yuhao back to the laboratory, saying, " Yuhao, starting today, you can study on your own, or I can teach you. Your creativity is quite good, and I'd like to mentor you."

"Oh right, I forgot to ask. I didn't know your Soul Engineer level. You're at least a Level 5 Soul Engineer, right?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head, put away the Soul Tool in his hand, and helplessly spread his hands, saying, " Teacher Xuan, I've already told you, this is really my first time making Soul Tool. I haven't systematically studied Soul Tool at Shrek Academy at all."

Xuan Ziwen narrowed his eyes, asking suspiciously, "Really? With your skill level, how is this possible?"

Huo Yuhao had already realized from what had just happened that Xuan Ziwen was the kind of person who desperately craved the truth and was also very intelligent. Sometimes, the more facts you explained, the more likely he was to believe you.

Huo Yuhao then pointed to his eyes and said, " Teacher Xuan, you also know that Spiritual Power and concentration have a great influence on the creation of Soul Tool. My Martial Soul is the Spirit Eyes. Your troublesome and intricate Core Array are very clear to me."

Huo Yuhao then briefly let him experience it, and he immediately exclaimed in surprise, " Yuhao! Your Martial Soul is simply tailor-made for Soul Tool! You are a genius among geniuses!"

"As long as you're willing to join the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, I can guarantee you the best training!"

Xuan Ziwen's eyes were earnest, and he looked determined to poach Huo Yuhao's partner, which made Huo Yuhao's lips twitch.

Huo Yuhao quietly took a few steps back, creating distance between himself and Xuan Ziwen, and said, " Teacher Xuan, thank you for your kindness, but I still want to relax a bit."

Undeterred by Huo Yuhao's rejection, Xuan Ziwen spoke again, " Yuhao, you need to know that as long as you're willing to transfer schools, I can guarantee that in ten years—no, at most ten years—I can absolutely guarantee that you'll reach the Level 9 Soul Engineer realm. Think about it carefully."

Just as Xuan Ziwen was making his best efforts, a "beep" sounded from the doorway.

The metal door slowly opened, and a sleepy-eyed girl walked in.

The girl had long black hair and looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her bright, large eyes were still sleepy. Her skin was incredibly beautiful; it was so smooth and poreless that it looked like you could squeeze water out of it. The same school uniform she wore perfectly accentuated her figure. Perhaps she wasn't as beautiful as Jiang Nannan, but her languid and slightly naive charm was captivating.

"Teacher, why are you up so early? It's rare to see you here!" The girl seemed not to have seen Huo Yuhao at all, and just lazily greeted Xuan Ziwen. Then she walked to the large experimental table, sat down, and lay down with her hands on the table, as if she wanted to take another nap.
