Xiao Hongchen:
Huo Yuhao's single sentence left Xiao Hongchen speechless. He had no idea how to respond. However, he could confirm one thing: when it came to showing off, Huo Yuhao, despite his young age, had already reached a masterful level!
Those two girls were absolutely stunning, yet this Huo Yuhao guy not only ignored them but even claimed he had face blindness?
What was the point of pretending?
Did he, Xiao Hongchen, really lack female admirers?
Well, he didn't lack them, but he only knew his own sister who possessed beauty comparable to those two girls.
Huo Yuhao ignored Xiao Hongchen and focused on engraving the Rank 1 Soul Tool core in his hand. Holding the engraving knife, he moved it back and forth. With the help of Spiritual Probe, even the slightest error was impossible.
Xiao Hongchen didn't interrupt either, instead watching intently.
After a short while, a brand-new Rank 1 Soul Tool was created by Huo Yuhao.
Looking at the Soul Tool placed on the table by Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen clapped loudly, praising him.
"Great job, Yuhao! You're really suited to be a Soul Engineer! With your Spiritual Probe Soul Skill, making Soul Tools will definitely be a lot easier than for other Soul Engineers! You'd never even touched Soul Tools before, and yet you became a real Rank 1 Soul Engineer in just a few days. What a genius! Xiao Hongchen wasn't wrong about you!"
Xiao Hongchen was genuinely happy for Huo Yuhao, feeling that his guidance played a crucial role in Huo Yuhao's rapid advancement to Rank 1 Soul Engineer.
However, what he didn't know was that even before coming to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, Huo Yuhao was already a qualified Rank 1 Soul Engineer! It was just that being a Rank 1 Soul Engineer didn't fit the image of someone who had been constantly oppressed and bullied at the White Tiger Duke's Manor, so he hadn't revealed it.
But since Xiao Hongchen was so happy, Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't spoil his mood.
"Senior Xiao, what are the characteristics of the two girls you mentioned earlier who were looking for me?"
Xiao Hongchen was slightly taken aback, and asked in return.
"Aren't they beautiful like a dream? Isn't that a characteristic?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly, his expression becoming a bit strange.
"I have face blindness."
"You!"
Xiao Hongchen was speechless. He really didn't know how to describe Huo Yuhao. But despite the complaints, Xiao Hongchen carefully recalled.
"One has pink-blue hair, and the other has golden hair. Even if you really are face-blind, you shouldn't be colorblind, right?"
Huo Yuhao smiled and waved his hand, saying no more. Instead, he raised an eyebrow and chuckled inwardly.
Wang Dong and Di Qiu'er, huh? Xiao Xiao and Gu Yuena aren't here. Looks like my strategy is still effective.
However, it's really unexpected that their relationship would break down so quickly.
Just like that, they were planning to team up and trick me before? Luckily, I only want to pursue my goals right now. Otherwise, with your simple way of thinking, I'm afraid I could trick you just by turning the tables in my diary, and you'd willingly throw yourselves at me, not even realizing you'd been completely used!
No, there's nothing to be proud of. I still need to maintain a sense of awe at all times. Just like Wang Dong and Di Qiu'er, if they weren't so confident that they wouldn't be exposed, I probably wouldn't have noticed anything unusual. It's best to get rid of this so-called arrogance of a transmigrator!
Over the years, his experiences at the White Tiger Duke's Manor had taught Huo Yuhao that being arrogant and complacent could be costly before he became truly strong. In extreme cases, it could even cost him his life!
Even though he was the son of destiny, chosen by the will of the Douluo Continent, and possessed a highly effective diary, he couldn't afford to be arrogant and dismissive of others. Being cautious was always a good thing!
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao said goodbye to Xiao Hongchen.
"I'll be going now, Senior Xiao."
Xiao Hongchen was taken aback. Seeing that Huo Yuhao wasn't joking, he asked,
"So early today? Not continuing your studies?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly.
"I want to raise my soul power to level twenty as soon as possible, hunt for a soul ring, and become a Soul Master. Afterward, I can try to raise my Soul Engineer rank to level two."
Xiao Hongchen was clearly stunned after hearing this, and he laughed heartily while patting Huo Yuhao's shoulder.
"I thought it was something important. Just this? Leave it to me! I've been busy teaching you about Soul Tools these past few days, and I forgot about this."
"Yuhao, for Soul Engineers in our Sun Moon Empire, there's no need to waste too much time on cultivating soul power! Instead of meditating all day and exhausting yourself to improve your soul power, you can spend more time researching Soul Tools. Occasionally, you can take some time to cultivate, and with the help of Elixirs, that's enough to achieve the fastest soul power increase."
Huo Yuhao blinked. So, he was going to start taking pills? But, why did it feel like he was being taken care of?
Seeing that Huo Yuhao didn't respond, Xiao Hongchen looked at him seriously.
"Yuhao, you wouldn't be fooled by the rumors that Soul Engineers in our Sun Moon Empire only rely on taking medicine to increase their strength, would you? As long as you don't take it too often, there won't be any major problems! The guys from the original Douluo Continent countries say that because they are too poor to give good medicine to unimportant juniors!"
"Those guys say that taking medicine is bad, but they eat a lot behind our backs! Don't worry, Yuhao, I won't let you struggle with cultivation because of taking medicine. Also, I will take care of the medicine you need, and I'll give it to you tomorrow!"
Without waiting for Huo Yuhao to refuse, Xiao Hongchen sat down at the table and waved his hand without looking back.
"Alright, go back and rest first. I'll continue researching for a while. I suddenly had a new idea."
Looking at Xiao Hongchen's focused expression, Huo Yuhao clicked his tongue, feeling quite helpless. This guy was just like Meng Hongchen said: a complete tech otaku!
Huo Yuhao didn't say anything further. He left the laboratory and headed back towards his dorm, his mind racing.
If Xiao Hongchen provides me with Elixirs, that could solve the issue of my terrifying advancement speed. I became a Soul Master only a few days ago, and now I'm already a Soul Master.
Tsk, everyone else is trying to get rewards from me, but Xiao Hongchen has been teaching me about Soul Tools and now offers to provide me with Elixirs. How should I reciprocate?
If I come across something good that suits Xiao Hongchen in the future, I should find a reason to give it to him. Also, during the next Soul Master Tournament, I'll use Spiritual Probe and Spiritual Sharing to let Xiao Hongchen show off his skills. This guy has been looking forward to that day!
