Chapter 9

"Principles of Spirit Souls Bestowing Multiple Soul Rings"

"Distribution of Hereditary Spirit Soul Families"

"Common Knowledge of Mecha Manufacturing"

……

In the Donghai Spirit Pagoda library, An Ya watched Huo Yuhao immersed in a sea of books, with ten conspicuous volumes placed beside him, and couldn't help but feel her eye twitch, thinking it necessary to tell the Tower Master to restrict Huo Yuhao.

A genius is still human, not a machine!

This past month, Huo Yuhao either cultivated or read books at home and in the library, living a rigid three-point routine every day.

If he were just putting on a show it would be one thing, but An Ya probed slightly and discovered that Huo Yuhao's understanding of many fields of knowledge was actually stronger than hers!

You have to understand, her sub-occupation is Mecha Designer, and she is currently a Spirit Pagoda Intern Soul Spirit Researcher; a six-year-old child, stronger than her?

Is this reasonable? This is not reasonable!

An Ya strongly suspected that ever since joining the Spirit Pagoda, Huo Yuhao hadn't slept properly, spending the entire day on study and cultivation.

"Sister An Ya? Are you here to borrow books too?"

Huo Yuhao finished the last book, was just preparing to leave, saw An Ya standing to the side, picked up a book at hand and handed it to her.

"I recommend you read this book; its insights on spirit souls are very unique and will help your internship career."

One must never underestimate another's intelligence.

After long ages of development and evolution, the knowledge systems of spirit souls and soul tools have become extremely vast, requiring him to invest massive time and energy to learn them before he could make them his own.

An Ya glanced at the "Similarities and Differences Between Spirit Souls and Metamorphosing Soul Beasts Producing Soul Rings" in her hand, her eye twitched, and she forced a smile: "Yuhao, thanks, I'll read it later. However, I actually came here to find you."

An Ya secretly put the book away, planning to find a chance to return it, then said: "You haven't forgotten what day it is today, right?"

Huo Yuhao stroked his chin and replied: "The anniversary of my one month since joining the Spirit Pagoda?"

An Ya: "……"

Didn't expect this kid to be quite narcissistic.

"No more joking."

Huo Yuhao smiled, "I still remember, it's that the auction is about to start, right?"

Ten thousand years ago I had no chance to enjoy whale glue; this time there's a chance to try it.

Just……

"Why is the Tower Master personally accompanying?"

At the Spirit Pagoda entrance, looking at Hua Yichen waiting here, Huo Yuhao then looked at the dumbfounded An Ya, his brows twitching.

As the Tower Master, is Hua Yichen too idle? In one month we've met no less than ten times, right? Don't you have anything else to do?

On the other side, Hua Yichen looked at Huo Yuhao in formal wear and smiled in satisfaction.

"Very suitable for you."

At this moment, Huo Yuhao had changed into a set of Spirit Pagoda custom silver-patterned formal wear, also an item from that storage ring, specially prepared for him to attend formal occasions.

Then, seemingly perceiving the two's puzzlement, Hua Yichen explained:

"Plans changed; the final auction item this time is very precious, all prominent figures in Donghai City will attend, it's most appropriate for me to go personally."

Huo Yuhao's expression moved, he nodded thoughtfully, and together with Hua Yichen boarded the soul guidance car, heading for the city center, leaving An Ya alone in disarray.

This shouldn't be her job, right?

No matter how precious the auction item, the Tower Master shouldn't need to go personally, right?

Could it be the rumor that the Tower Master likes strolling idly through streets and alleys is true?

That really matches the Tower Master's title……

……

Donghai City's auction house is jointly held with the museum. The museum has a dedicated auction item display area and holds auctions regularly.

In Huo Yuhao's impression there are descriptions about this place; Tang Wu Lin mentioned it when he was troubled over undoing the Golden Dragon King Seal.

Thinking of the Golden Dragon King, Huo Yuhao looked at the scenery flashing past the window, thoughtful.

In the Douluo God Realm battle, Huo Yuhao's role was actually not large; he was either fetching reinforcements or on the way to fetch reinforcements, and the battle against Destruction only showed the talent to become God King, with no substantive results.

Moreover he didn't become a god, Tang San would certainly change plans, the Life Goddess turned traitor helping Tang San oppose her own husband, so the Divine Realm Civil War outcome most likely won't change.

That Golden Dragon King Divine Core would still be on Tang Wu Lin, right……

"Thinking about the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue matter?"

Hua Yichen noticed Huo Yuhao's abnormality and smiled: "With Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue and Spirit Ascension Pill assistance, your First Spirit Soul can reach the Thousand-Year Level in the shortest time."

"You are the first I've seen who, soon after obtaining a spirit soul, could reach this realm."

Speaking here, Hua Yichen paused, looked at Huo Yuhao, "However, the stronger the talent, the more one must learn to restrain oneself, not be arrogant. How is your grasp of the Simulation Soul Skill?"

"My First Soul Skill is not Simulation."

Saying words that made Hua Yichen frown, a yellow soul ring appeared around Huo Yuhao, and he directly activated Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing, "Please relax your spirit, I'll let you experience it."

For a moment, the scenery flashing outside the car became clear in Hua Yichen's eyes; road tracks and the soul guidance car's internal structure and all such details also fell into Hua Yichen's eyes.

For a moment, even with Hua Yichen's nature, his expression froze, his heart full of shock and doubt.

"This is my First Soul Skill, Spiritual Detection Sharing."

Huo Yuhao smiled: "Currently can detect objects within twenty meters radius; narrowing the detection range can increase precision, very helpful for researching soul tools and spirit souls. As for Simulation, I plan to keep it as my Second Soul Skill; doing this should be no problem, right? Teacher Hua."

Hua Yichen: "Correct, didn't choose wrong……"

Not just correct, this is simply godlike skill!

Hua Yichen took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and looked at Huo Yuhao with a complex expression.

Why did he put the Ice Worm before Huo Yuhao to choose? Because the Ice Worm was also his First Spirit Soul; he personally experienced how practical the Simulation Soul Skill is!

But who can tell him, same Ice Worm, why did his spirit soul only give him Simulation, without the Spiritual Detection Sharing soul skill? Could Huo Yuhao's Ice Worm have mutated?

Yes, Hua Yichen was jealous, extremely jealous!

It could be said, as long as this soul skill existed, even if Huo Yuhao's Soul Master path did not reach the strongest, he could still reach the peak in professions like mecha design, mecha manufacturing, and so on!

While Hua Yichen's emotions were fluctuating, the Soul Guidance Car also arrived at the Donghai Museum.

Hua Yichen, still within the Spiritual Detection Sharing, instantly sensed a special figure.

The Donghai Museum sits in the southern part of Donghai City's center, a stretch of simple and elegant architecture. It consists of one main building and two side buildings in total.

In front of the museum, two people got out of a car.

One of them was a pretty girl with a golden ponytail and azure eyes. The other looked to be around forty years old, clad in a silver-gray tight-fitting outfit that outlined his burly frame, a badge hanging on his left chest.

The badge's base color was gold, with a slightly raised hammer pattern; every star on it was black, eight in total, indicating the other party's identity as an Eight-Star Saint Craftsman!
