Jing Hongchen's behavior surprised Lin Jiayi, who couldn't help but ask.
"Besides his outstanding mental abilities and the Spiritual Probe and Sharing skill, which is a godsend for us Soul Masters, does Huo Yuhao have any other special talents?"
Jing Hongchen picked up a Rank 1 Soul Tool from the table and tossed it to him, chuckling.
"Of course!"
"Before coming to our academy, he had never even touched a Soul Tool. Yet, in just a few days, he went from a complete novice to a genuine Rank 1 Soul Master. Do you think he has any talent in Soul Tools?"
Lin Jiayi examined the small, exquisite Rank 1 Soul Tool in his hand, surprise spreading across his face.
"This was made by Huo Yuhao?"
Although Soul Masters with mental attributes had a greater advantage in Soul Tool creation, Huo Yuhao had only become a one-ring Soul Master at the age of twelve. In Lin Jiayi's opinion, aside from the Spiritual Probe and Sharing skill, he might not achieve much.
It seemed he had underestimated Huo Yuhao.
As if sensing Lin Jiayi's thoughts, Jing Hongchen chuckled and asked, "Do you think, given Huo Yuhao's treatment at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, where he barely had enough to eat, what level of Innate Soul Power do you think he could awaken with? If the truth is as Huo Yuhao said, then the fact that he awakened at all already proves his talent!"
"I can guarantee you, if Huo Yuhao had received even slightly better treatment, not even considering regular consumption of nourishing Elixir/Pills or Soul Beast Meat, with his Original Martial Soul alone, his Innate Soul Power would absolutely not be below Rank 6!"
Although Rank 6 Innate Soul Power couldn't be considered a peerless genius, it at least provided him with a ticket to becoming a strong individual.
Jing Hongchen, puffing out his large belly, which was actually a Soul Tool in disguise, said with a smile, "When Xiao Hongchen handed over this Rank 1 Soul Tool, which was entirely made by Huo Yuhao, he also mentioned wanting to give Huo Yuhao his collection of Elixir/Pills, so that his strength could improve faster."
"At that moment, I made a decision. Not only did I agree with Xiao's decision, but I even gave him some of my own stock to give to Huo Yuhao as well."
"Just you wait and see. This time, perhaps Xiao and Meng have really brought us an unexpected genius for the Sun Moon Empire!"
The genius Jing Hongchen spoke of, Huo Yuhao, did not lose himself. Even after receiving various precious Elixirs from Xiao Hongchen, he still consistently went to the lab to study the knowledge of Soul Tools.
After all, Xiao Hongchen was a Rank 4 Soul Master and had been immersed in Soul Tools since childhood, possessing very unique insights and experience.
Huo Yuhao, who already possessed a high talent for Soul Tools, greedily learned everything useful from Xiao Hongchen, and his skill in Soul Tools increased daily.
If things continued this way, even if the Diary Book no longer gave him rewards related to Soul Tools, Huo Yuhao could still become a Rank 2 Soul Master in the shortest amount of time.
Of course, there was a very important prerequisite to becoming a Rank 2 Soul Master: he had to reach the Soul Grand Master level in Soul Power.
After careful consideration, Huo Yuhao still felt like he needed to demonstrate at least some of his value, so that Jing Hongchen would know that choosing to invest in him was definitely a very wise decision.
Since Huo Yuhao wanted to completely transform the entire world in the future, he would definitely need to have a very high level of influence and status. While pretending to be weak and deceiving others might be a little satisfying, in all seriousness, it wasn't really suitable for the current Huo Yuhao.
It was precisely because of this that Huo Yuhao ended his studies with Xiao Hongchen early, using the excuse of wanting to improve his Soul Power as soon as possible to return to his dormitory.
However, what he didn't expect was that after hearing this, Xiao Hongchen very proactively introduced the effects of those Elixirs to Huo Yuhao, some of which even had the effect of improving his Innate Soul Power.
After asking, Huo Yuhao learned that those Elixirs and medicinal herbs were all taken from Jing Hongchen's private stash, specifically for Xiao Hongchen to give to him.
Huo Yuhao also noticed Jing Hongchen's intentions. In this matter, the reason he didn't show up at all, but instead had Xiao Hongchen deliver them, was to deepen the relationship between Xiao Hongchen and himself, and to let his grandson take the credit.
If Huo Yuhao were to achieve something in the future, not to mention what he would repay, at least Xiao Hongchen would have a trustworthy partner in the future.
Huo Yuhao, of course, wouldn't refuse this kind of well-intentioned thought. In fact, he didn't even need Jing Hongchen to do this; Huo Yuhao had already acknowledged Xiao Hongchen as a friend. He had taken his painstaking teaching to heart and wouldn't forget it.
Having made his decision, Huo Yuhao didn't waste any time and chose to consume some of the Elixirs that night.
With the effect of the Marrow Cleansing Pill he had obtained before, Huo Yuhao had no worries about the upper limit being locked, unlike others when taking the Elixirs.
Huo Yuhao even felt that the reason why Douluo Continent had the saying that taking pills would affect one's upper limit was fundamentally because the world's alchemy techniques were simply too crude!
Unfortunately, he didn't have any insights into alchemy either. However, if he had the opportunity in the future, he could try to improve it.
As the Child of Destiny designated by the will of the Douluo Continent plane, since Huo Yuhao enjoyed the treatment of being favored by the plane's will, he naturally needed to give back and try his best to make the entire Douluo Continent stronger, even upgraded.
After raising his Soul Power to level nineteen by taking pills, Huo Yuhao didn't continue. Instead, he planned to have a good night's sleep. After receiving the reward from tomorrow's Diary Book, he could naturally advance to level twenty, needing only one more Soul Ring to become a Two-Ring Soul Grand Master.
However, when Huo Yuhao saw the rewards brought by the Diary Book the next morning, he was clearly somewhat surprised.
[Achieved the achievement of writing in the diary for a week continuously, triggering a lucky critical hit, and the reward quality has been improved.] [Diary Day 7 Rewards: 1. Soul Power increase by one level, 2. Soul Bone Absorption Card (After use, it can ignore the physical limit and pain, and absorb Soul Bones of any age), 3. Soul Spirit Contract (After both parties sign the contract, it allows the target Soul Beast to become a Soul Spirit)]
Hiss!
Looking at the rewards from the Diary Book, Huo Yuhao was immediately a little excited.
Although he could guess that the rewards he would get on the seventh day would be more generous than before, the Diary Book's generosity this time was clearly beyond his expectations.
The most crucial things were a Soul Bone absorption card and a Soul Spirit Contract. This was practically a clear indication for him to go to the Extreme North to obtain his second Martial Soul!
If his previous guess was correct, and the Ice and Snow Two Emperors in the Extreme North could also see the diary he wrote, then they would most likely not refuse to become his Soul Spirits.
Becoming a Child of Destiny's Soul Spirit meant no longer needing to worry about major calamities, and they wouldn't lose their self-awareness. They might even have a great chance of gaining eternal life. These benefits were probably something any Soul Beast would be unable to refuse, right?
So, which of the Ice and Snow Two Emperors should he choose to become his second Martial Soul and Soul Spirit?
