"Principles of Granting Multiple Spirit Rings to a Soul Spirit"
"Distribution of Heirloom Soul Spirit Families"
"Common Knowledge of Mecha Manufacturing"
……
In the East Sea Spirit Pagoda Library, An Ya watched Huo Yuhao lost in a sea of books, ten conspicuous volumes laid out beside him. Her eyelid twitched, and she felt it necessary to tell the Pagoda Master to limit Huo Yuhao.
A genius was still human, not a machine!
For the past month, Huo Yuhao had either been cultivating or reading at home and in the library, going back and forth between three fixed points every day.
If it were just for show, that would be one thing, but when An Ya tested him slightly, she found that Huo Yuhao's understanding of many subjects was actually stronger than hers!
After all, she was a Mecha Designer on the side, and was now an intern Soul Spirit Researcher at the Spirit Pagoda. A six-year-old child was stronger than her?
Was that reasonable? It was unreasonable!
An Ya strongly suspected that since joining the Spirit Pagoda, Huo Yuhao had not slept properly, spending all his time on study and cultivation.
"Sister An Ya? Are you here to borrow books too?"
Huo Yuhao had finished the last book and was about to leave when he saw An Ya standing to one side. He picked up a nearby book and handed it to her.
"I recommend you read this one. Its insights into Soul Spirits are very unique and will help your internship."
One must never underestimate others' wisdom.
After long years of development and evolution, the knowledge system of Soul Spirits and Soul Tools had become immense, requiring him to invest a great deal of time and effort to learn before he could make it his own.
An Ya glanced at the book in her hands, "The Similarities and Differences Between Soul Spirits and Human-Form Soul Beasts in Producing Spirit Rings." Her eyelid twitched, and she forced a smile. "Yuhao, thank you. I'll read it later. But actually, I came here to find you."
An Ya secretly put the book away, planning to find a chance to return it, then continued, "You haven't forgotten what day it is today, have you?"
Huo Yuhao touched his chin and replied, "The one-month anniversary of my joining the Spirit Pagoda?"
An Ya: "......"
She hadn't expected it, but this child was rather narcissistic.
"No more joking."
Huo Yuhao smiled. "I still remember—the auction is starting, right?"
Ten thousand years ago he had no chance to enjoy whale gel, but this time he had a chance to try it.
But...
"Why is the Pagoda Master personally accompanying him?"
At the entrance of the Spirit Pagoda, looking at Hua Yichen waiting here, Huo Yuhao glanced at the completely bewildered An Ya, his eyebrows and eyes twitching.
As Pagoda Master, was Hua Yichen too idle? In the past month, they had met at least ten times, right? Did he have nothing else to do?
On the other side, Hua Yichen looked at Huo Yuhao in formal attire and smiled with satisfaction.
"Very suitable for you."
At this moment, Huo Yuhao had changed into Silver-Pattern Formal Attire specially made by the Spirit Pagoda, an item from his Storage Ring, prepared especially for him to attend formal occasions.
Then, seeming to see through the two's confusion, Hua Yichen explained:
"The plan has changed. The final auction item is very precious. Distinguished figures from East Sea City will all be present, so it's most appropriate for me to go personally."
Huo Yuhao's expression shifted, and he nodded thoughtfully, then got into a Soul Tool Car with Hua Yichen to head to the city center, leaving An Ya completely at a loss.
Shouldn't this be her job?
No matter how precious the auction item was, there was no need for the Pagoda Master to go personally, right?
Could it be that the rumor that the Pagoda Master liked to loaf around and wander the streets was true?
It really matched the Pagoda Master's title...
……
East Sea City's auction was jointly held with the museum. The museum had a dedicated auction item exhibition area and held auctions regularly.
Huo Yuhao remembered there being a description of this place—when Tang Wulin was troubled by how to unlock the Golden Dragon King's seal, he had mentioned it here.
Thinking of the Golden Dragon King, Huo Yuhao watched the scenery flying past outside the window, lost in thought.
In the War of the God Realm, Huo Yuhao's role had actually not been great—he was either fetching reinforcements or on the way to fetch reinforcements. The battle with The Destroyer merely showed his talent for becoming a Godking, without any substantive results.
And since he had not become a god, Tang San would surely change his plans. The Life Goddess was also favoring her own side, helping Tang San and her own husband work against him, so the result of the civil war in the God Realm would probably not change.
Then the Golden Dragon King's God Core would still be on Tang Wulin, right...
"Are you thinking about the Ten Thousand Year Whale Gel?"
Hua Yichen noticed Huo Yuhao's unusual state and smiled. "With the Ten Thousand Year Whale Gel and Ascension Spirit Pill assisting you, your first Soul Spirit can rise to the Thousand-Year Level in the shortest time."
"You are the first person I've seen who can reach this level not long after obtaining a Soul Spirit."
Saying this, Hua Yichen paused and looked at Huo Yuhao. "However, the greater the talent, the more one must learn to restrain oneself and not be arrogant. How is your mastery of the Simulation Soul Skill?"
"My first Soul Skill is not Simulation."
As he spoke words that made Hua Yichen frown, a yellow Spirit Ring appeared around Huo Yuhao, and he directly activated Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing. "Please relax your mind; let me show you."
For a moment, the scenery flying past outside the car became clear in Hua Yichen's eyes. The tire tracks on the road and the internal structure of the Soul Tool Car, among various details, all fell into Hua Yichen's eyes.
For a moment, even with Hua Yichen's state of mind, his expression froze, and he was shocked and doubtful inside.
"This is my first Soul Skill, Spiritual Detection Sharing."
Huo Yuhao smiled. "Currently I can detect things within twenty meters in all directions. Narrowing the detection range can improve precision. It's very helpful for studying Soul Tools and Soul Spirits. As for Simulation, I plan to keep it as my second Soul Skill. That should be fine, right, Teacher Hua?"
Hua Yichen: "Exactly, I didn't choose wrong..."
More than not wrong—this was practically divine skill!
Hua Yichen took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and looked at Huo Yuhao with a complex expression.
Why had he placed the Ice Silkworm before Huo Yuhao to choose? Because the Ice Silkworm was also his first Soul Spirit, and he had personally experienced how practical the Simulation Soul Skill was!
But who could tell him: both were Ice Silkworms, so why did his Soul Spirit only grant him Simulation, without the Spiritual Detection Sharing Soul Skill? Had Huo Yuhao's Ice Silkworm mutated?
Yes, Hua Yichen was jealous, very jealous!
It could be said that as long as he had this Soul Skill, even if Huo Yuhao's path as a Soul Master did not reach the strongest, he could still reach the pinnacle in professions like Mecha Design and Mecha Manufacturing!
While Hua Yichen's emotions were in turmoil, the Soul Tool Car also arrived at the East Sea Museum.
Still within Spiritual Detection Sharing, Hua Yichen instantly sensed a special person.
The East Sea Museum was located south of the city center of East Sea City, a cluster of ancient-style buildings. It consisted of one main building and two secondary buildings.
In front of the museum, two people got out of a car.
One was a beautiful girl with a golden ponytail and azure eyes. The other looked about forty years old, wearing a silver-gray fitted outfit that outlined his sturdy figure. On his left chest hung a badge.
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 Artisan!
