Chapter 279 Leng Yaozhu: Finally, the chapter is here!
Chapter 284 Leng Yaozhu: You're finally back!
Seeing the meaningful smile on Leng Yaozhu's face, Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly, knowing that if he let Aunt Leng take the initiative in the conversation again, she might say something even more unbearable.
He immediately turned his head and looked at Xu Jiujiu openly and generously: "Then I can't keep calling you 'Princess Jiujiu' anymore. Call me 'Sister Jiujiu,' is that alright?"
Putting aside Aunt Leng's harmless quirks, Huo Yuhao knew perfectly well that getting closer to Xu Jiujiu would only benefit the cooperation between the Spirit Pagoda and the Star Luo Royal Family.
So he took this opportunity to back down, and naturally called her "Sister Jiu Jiu" in a slightly intimate way.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu's bright eyes instantly lit up.
She couldn't wait to get closer to Huo Yuhao. Putting aside Huo Yuhao's talent, the influence of his two known teachers alone was enough to make the entire Star Luo royal family treat him with utmost sincerity.
She smiled and replied, "Of course I don't mind! I'd be overjoyed."
Huo Yuhao was worried that Leng Yaozhu might say something "outrageous" next, so he decisively took over the conversation and steered the topic toward the important matter.
"Sister Jiu Jiu, I will be staying in Xingluo City for a while, and I would like to ask you to help me recruit a group of Soul Masters."
The Spirit Pagoda is still in its early stages and its foundation is not yet stable. It still relies on the support of the Star Luo Empire for many things.
But Huo Yuhao already had a complete plan in mind. Who said that the Spirit Pagoda could only manage soul spirits in the future?
Those advanced soul guidance technologies that were ten thousand years ahead of their time would be a true waste if left unused.
Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Spirit Pagoda was still under construction to start planning the mass production of soul tools.
Once the Spirit Pagoda is officially completed, they will possess not only unparalleled soul spirit technology, but also soul tools that will drive the entire continent mad.
Huo Yuhao was not worried about whether the people sent by the Star Luo royal family would leak the core technology he possessed.
Firstly, he has already demonstrated his formidable strength today, so even if the Star Luo royal family has any ulterior motives, they will have to consider the consequences.
Secondly, even if some common technologies are leaked, it doesn't matter much.
His mind was filled with the crystallization of soul guidance technology from ten thousand years in the future—an inexhaustible gold mine. Even if others learned a little bit, it wouldn't harm him at all.
He only imparts the truly core technologies to his trusted confidants who have been tested and are worthy of his trust.
After listening to Huo Yuhao's request for a long time, his eyes lit up.
She had been looking forward to Huo Yuhao's soul tool for a long time, and now, judging from Huo Yuhao's tone, it was clear that he was not planning to play around, but rather to go all out and make a big splash.
Suppressing her excitement, she asked again, "Are there any specific requirements?"
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and said, "Try to choose someone younger, preferably a Soul Master of Level 3 or above."
Xu Jiujiu nodded immediately and readily agreed: "No problem, I'll have someone take care of it first thing tomorrow morning, and I guarantee that all the personnel will be in place within two days."
The Star Luo Empire has been in a standoff with the Sun Moon Empire for many years, and the soul-guided artillery fire on the border has never truly stopped. They know better than anyone else the terrifying power of soul-guided devices on the battlefield.
Having suffered losses from soul tools, the Star Luo Empire has been making every effort to develop its own soul tool technology in an attempt to narrow the gap with the Sun Moon Empire.
Unfortunately, the Sun Moon Empire's blockade of core soul guidance technology is extremely strict, which has made the development of soul guidance technology, originally belonging to the Douluo Three Kingdoms, very difficult. High-end talents are extremely rare, and to this day, not even a single level nine soul master has been trained.
However, although high-level Soul Masters are scarce, there is no shortage of level 3 Soul Masters in the Star Luo Empire.
After all, there are several Soul Master Academies within the Empire, which can train a large number of students who have mastered the basic Soul Guidance production techniques every year.
Although these people may not be able to produce any high-tech products, they have solid basic knowledge and are young, which is exactly the kind of manpower that Huo Yuhao needs most at this stage.
Xu Jiujiu always keeps his word, and his efficiency is astonishing.
Within just two days, she had gathered nearly fifty Soul Masters of Level 3 or above for Huo Yuhao.
With the addition of the twenty students Huo Yuhao had previously recruited from Shrek Academy, his team of Soul Masters suddenly expanded to nearly seventy people.
Afterwards, Xu Jiujiu personally stepped forward and allocated a section of the area in the southeast corner of Xingluo City that originally belonged to the Royal Military Workshop, giving Huo Yuhao the largest three-story building in it, along with the warehouse and courtyard behind it.
In just a few days, a small but fully equipped soul guidance laboratory was built.
So Huo Yuhao has been incredibly busy lately, spending almost all his time in the laboratory guiding the seventy Soul Masters to familiarize themselves with the new Soul Guidance blueprints he brought from ten thousand years in the future, adjusting the process step by step, and answering their questions about the new technology one by one.
The things I said when I parted ways with Wang Dong'er weren't just to comfort her.
After twelve busy days in Xingluo City, Huo Yuhao finally got another chance to travel through time.
Just a moment ago he was standing in the brightly lit soul guidance laboratory in Xingluo City, but the next moment, everything around him changed without warning.
Under a hazy sky and on a desolate, lifeless land, he appeared once again in the plane of the dead.
Huo Yuhao had experienced such abrupt switching countless times, and had long since grown accustomed to it after the initial shock.
He turned to look at Leng Yaozhu beside him. Although she had been in the plane of the dead, just a moment ago, she was also precisely "pulled" back to the state before the two of them crossed over by that irresistible force, and even the position she was standing in was exactly the same as before.
A strange light shone in Leng Yaozhu's eyes. Even with her Limit Douluo cultivation and calm temperament, she couldn't help but reveal a hint of amazement.
She looked down at her hands, then looked up at her surroundings, shook her head and said, "This feeling is truly magical. Even with my cultivation level, I didn't sense anything before, let alone resist it."
Huo Yuhao deeply agreed. He pointed to the portal ahead and said, "Aunt Leng, let's go out first and talk about it."
Leng Yaozhu nodded, and the two of them said no more, and at the same time lifted their feet and walked towards the gate of light.
Then came that familiar feeling of weightlessness, like falling from a great height.
After a brief period of darkness, the light returned.
The walls are predominantly white, the decor is simple yet elegant, and the soul-guided lamps embedded in the ceiling emit a bright yet soft light. Through the windows, one can see the lights of Shrek City burning quietly in the night.
This is Leng Yaozhu's room. After fifteen days, the two of them finally returned to this world ten thousand years in the future.
Leng Yaozhu stood in the center of the room, looking around at everything familiar. After a moment of silence, she let out a heartfelt sigh.
"What an incredibly powerful ability! Only a true god could wield such authority."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.
His teacher, Electrox, once told him that his ability to travel through time came from the depths of his spiritual sea.
However, even though his spiritual power has now reached the threshold of the Spirit Realm, he still cannot detect anything unusual in his spiritual sea.
It seems that to unravel this mystery surrounding me, I need to take my mental strength to the next level.
It's just unknown whether he'll be able to make any discoveries when his spiritual power reaches the Divine Origin Realm.
Huo Yuhao was lost in thought when Leng Yaozhu's voice brought him back to reality.
Seeing the boy's unusually absent-minded expression, she couldn't help but smile: "Alright, go and rest first, get a good night's sleep, and I need to recharge myself too."
Having spent so long in the Necropolis, a place where there is no distinction between day and night, I don't feel physically tired, but something just doesn't feel right. I need to readjust to the day-night cycle outside.
Huo Yuhao snapped out of his daze and nodded.
He said goodnight to Leng Yaozhu, turned around, pushed open the door, and walked out.
The corridor was quiet. He took a deep breath of the familiar air of this world and walked towards his residence.
