Douluo: The True Eye

Not long after the people of the Body Sect left under the leadership of Du Busi, another group of unlucky fellows took their place, bearing the brunt of Jing Hongchen's anger.

“Hall Master, among the exchange students from Shrek Academy, some people took advantage of the attack on our Mingde Hall and the ensuing chaos to steal a number of soul tool blueprints and research materials.”

A soul tool master, resembling a researcher, reported to Jing Hongchen, who had just recovered from the earlier shock: “However, the main culprit and other accomplices have now been apprehended by us. We don’t know how we should deal with them?”

Although Jing Hongchen had awakened from the blow dealt by the Body Sect, his eyes were bloodshot and filled with red veins.

In the past, because he was wary of Shrek Academy's strength, even if he caught them red-handed, Jing Hongchen probably wouldn't have taken any excessive measures. At most, he would have haggled with Shrek Academy over some matters of mutual interest.

But now, the Shrek Academy exchange students could be said to have walked right into his line of fire. He was feeling aggrieved because he had nowhere to vent his anger.

“Oh? You caught people from Shrek Academy? How come this Hall Master doesn’t know? Aren’t the people you apprehended the thieves who came to attack?”

Jing Hongchen snorted coldly. Hearing this, the researcher naturally understood.

“Yes, this subordinate will send someone, no, this subordinate believes that the person in charge of the investigation will act according to the law and interrogate this group of thieves of unknown origin.”

“Presumably, the Empire will not let us down and will definitely give you a satisfactory result afterwards.”

After saying that, the researcher retreated after Jing Hongchen nodded in acknowledgment.

At this time, Jing Hongchen let out a long sigh, and the depression in his heart was finally released somewhat.

This time, Shrek Academy did not have Huo Yuhao's outstanding performance in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament as in the original work. In addition, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament ended with a great victory for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

Therefore, the Sun Moon Empire did not pay much attention to this exchange student activity. Naturally, no one would send the most outstanding students to Shrek Academy when the situation was unclear.

This was also why Jing Hongchen dared to let his subordinates find an excuse to directly deal with the Shrek Academy exchange students.

Since his grandchildren did not go to Shrek Academy for the exchange student program, he was naturally not afraid that Shrek Academy would make an issue of this matter. Even if Shrek Academy came to his door, the reason was on the side of their Mingde Hall.

As long as those Shrek Academy exchange students didn't lose arms or legs or become disabled after leaving the interrogation room, it would be fine. Even if they suffered some hardships during the interrogation, so what? Anyway, there would be sufficient reasons to shirk responsibility.

The ones responsible for the interrogation were not people from their Mingde Hall, but the Empire's special interrogation office. Their Mingde Hall was overwhelmed with dealing with the aftermath of the attack, so how could they have time to personally deal with these petty thieves?

After this brief interlude, Jing Hongchen's office returned to silence.

As for the series of losses caused by the attack on Mingde Hall and the subsequent repairs, naturally, his subordinates would handle them. What made Jing Hongchen most angry and worried was another issue.

That was the loss of Mingde Hall's latest research achievement, the prototype of the humanoid soul tool, during the chaos. Its whereabouts were still unknown, and it was likely taken away by the invading mysterious forces.

The loss of the humanoid soul tool prototype itself was not that important.

After all, Jing Hongchen was confident that, apart from their Mingde Hall, even if other forces were given ten years, without professional ninth-level soul tool masters to deconstruct and analyze it,

the series of scientific research achievements applied to this humanoid soul tool prototype would be difficult to research, let alone be used by the enemy for replication.

However, apart from the humanoid soul tool prototype itself being taken away, the loss of the energy crystal that powered it made Jing Hongchen even more uneasy.

Because the source of this energy crystal was a crystal cut from the true dragon egg, but the energy it contained far exceeded any rare metal and energy crystal developed and used by the current soul tool master world.

After a long period of research, the Sun Moon Empire had only analyzed a little bit of the surface and found a way to sort and mobilize the energy within it.

An energy crystal ten times smaller than the energy crystal on this humanoid soul tool prototype was enough to support a ninth-level fire-attribute soul tool to operate at full power and activate it more than ten times.

And the initial volume of this energy crystal was more than three times its current size. It was only after various special refining techniques and instrument baptisms that it was reduced and purified to its current state.

This two-thirds of the energy was naturally not ground and consumed for no reason.

The one-third of the energy remaining after repeated refining can be said to be exceptionally pure. Unlike the previous energy crystals that could only power fire-attribute soul tools, any attribute of soul tool can now be perfectly adapted.

Conversely, the same principle applies to soul masters.

After repeated purification, this energy crystal is an extremely important treasure of heaven and earth, even for powerhouses at the level of Super Douluo.

If an ordinary Super Douluo could completely absorb it, they might even directly increase one level of soul power!

If it weren't for the importance of this scientific research project, Jing Hongchen probably wouldn't have been able to obtain this energy crystal personally presided over and refined by Kong Deming.

At the first moment of obtaining this energy crystal, even Jing Hongchen himself wanted to directly refine and absorb this energy crystal. In this way, he might have a chance to look forward to the level called Super Douluo.

As for Kong Deming, the number one soul tool master of the Sun Moon Empire, after this research result came out, his strength naturally broke through the original shackles with the help of this achievement and became the first domestic Super Douluo in the history of the Sun Moon Empire.

It was only because Kong Deming was wary of the existence of the Holy Spirit Cult in the dark that he had been using stealth-type soul tools to hide his cultivation.

Upon their return, Poison Undying handed over the low-level Soul Engineers, Soul Tool design blueprints, and rare metals plundered from Mingde Hall to the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family for disposal.

Through the arrangement of the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family, these low-level Soul Engineers were secretly imprisoned in a special prison that had been prepared since the initial planning stage, specifically built for them.

At the same time, Poison Undying also left behind those Body Sect Soul Masters who possessed special methods such as brainwashing, in order to assist the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family in completely controlling this group of low-level Soul Engineers in the coming period.

After dealing with all of this, Poison Undying led the extremely exhausted Title Douluo powerhouses back to the Body Sect.

Even though they were extremely tired, the Body Sect's powerhouses all appeared unspeakably excited at this time, because the smoothness of this operation was truly beyond their expectations!

What they didn't know was that the reason things were able to progress so smoothly was, in addition to Poison Undying's planning and arrangements, the greatest contributor was Huo Yuhao.

By plucking the threads of fate, when Poison Undying led a group of Body Sect powerhouses to execute the plan, Huo Yuhao used a large amount of luck power to ensure the smoothness and safety of their operation.

Only, in this way, compared to the Body Sect people who had great luck blessings, Mingde Hall and the associated Shrek Academy appeared even more unlucky.

Luck itself has no effect, but through comparison and collision between multiple parties, people with high luck will inherently have a kind of restraint against people with low luck.

The side with high luck will naturally increase its luck in comparison, while the side with low luck will become more and more depressed the more it collides.

And just as the Body Sect Title Douluo powerhouses dispersed and returned to their residences to recuperate.

Poison Undying came to the outside of Huo Yuhao's cultivation room next to his residence: "Hahaha, my good disciple, let your teacher see if your cultivation has been slack these days, let your teacher test you well!"

However, after waiting for a long time without a response, Poison Undying used his mental power to sense the situation and pushed open the door, only to discover that Huo Yuhao was not in this cultivation room as usual.

After wandering around, Poison Undying finally found Huo Yuhao when he arrived at Huo Yuhao's room.

He saw Huo Yuhao using his powerful mental power to simultaneously control dozens of pens, writing furiously in the room, not knowing what he was writing.

"Master." Seeing Poison Undying's arrival, Huo Yuhao controlled his mental power to put away the pens and papers, landed, and then dissipated his mental power, getting up to greet Poison Undying's arrival.

"Oh? I didn't expect that after only a year and a half, Yuhao, you actually have reached level 60 Soul Power. It seems that my previous estimate of you was somewhat inaccurate."

Poison Undying raised his eyebrows. Previously, because he was preparing for the invasion of Mingde Hall, even the Great Elder Jin Peng could not contact Poison Undying and others, let alone pass on the news that Huo Yuhao had recently cultivated to level 60 Soul Power.

Poison Undying originally estimated that it would probably be half a year later, that is, two years after obtaining the Fifth Soul Ring, that Huo Yuhao would cultivate to level 60 Soul Power, but he did not expect that this day would come so quickly.

And this is actually because Huo Yuhao consumed a lot of his own Soul Power in the process of cultivating and inheriting Illyas' magic, which slowed down the speed of his Soul Power cultivation. Otherwise, if he had fully cultivated and accumulated Soul Power.

I'm afraid that Huo Yuhao would only need a year to completely cultivate to level 60 Soul Power.

After all, with the blessing of the Gold of Life, all-weather cultivation, the Golden-level Body Martial Soul, and the connection of the whole body's Soul Power, Huo Yuhao's cultivation speed will only get faster and faster, at least before level 70.

Even after reaching level 70, Huo Yuhao's cultivation speed will definitely be far beyond that of ordinary Innate Full Soul Power Soul Masters, and at least four times more efficient than them.

Poison Undying sighed. Previously, he had been busy planning how to invade Mingde Hall, so the Body Sect had no time to find a target Soul Beast for Huo Yuhao.

Now that Huo Yuhao has reached level 60 Soul Power, for the sake of his future, it is naturally better to obtain his Sixth Soul Ring as soon as possible.

In this case, it would be best to take Huo Yuhao out to hunt for Soul Beasts, although it is a bit risky, it is the choice that does not delay time the most.

However, Poison Undying shifted his gaze to the stacks of papers placed on the desk, the ground, and even the bed next to Huo Yuhao, and asked with some doubts.

"Yuhao, what are you writing? Although your Soul Power has reached a bottleneck, you can't slack off because of this. You should seize the time to cultivate, so as to make your state close to perfection."

Huo Yuhao naturally replied: "This is the understanding and整理 methods that my disciple has gained in the process of comprehending Martial Souls and cultivating combat skills."

"Now, the strengthening that cultivating Soul Power brings to my disciple is already very few, so it is better to make some contributions to the sect."

Hearing this, Poison Undying became even more curious, took the stack of papers that Huo Yuhao handed over, and flipped through them.

He saw that his flipping speed became faster and faster, and in the end, he was even struck by lightning, freezing in place.

Because the various aspects written in these papers were actually closely related to the development of the Body Martial Soul.

From various Martial Soul training methods, development models, to how to match medicinal materials for nourishing.

In all aspects, it was actually more specific and subtle than the Body Sect's research over the past thousands of years.

The last part of the notes mentioned that all paths lead to the same destination, and considered how to implement it so that every Body Soul Master could develop their own Martial Soul awakening.

You must know that even the Body Sect's Martial Soul awakening method cannot make every Body Sect Soul Master successfully awaken. If it is really like what Huo Yuhao wrote, then this will greatly enhance the Body Sect's future strength.

However, when Poison Undying turned the page with anticipation, the last part was actually blank. The notes stopped abruptly here.

Poison Undying's eyes widened, and his voice was deafening: "What about the rest?!"
