Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 47 You're using this to test a genius soul master?
Huo Yuhao looked at the two of them and said, "Seniors, I don't lack materials right now, so you don't really need to do this."

He wasn't interested in Zi Mu and Wang Shaojie's suggestions, since the two of them couldn't offer any good materials. In the world of Soul Masters, the range of materials is actually very broad, and rare metals are just one type of material for making Soul Tools.

Take the level-eight melee soul tool, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, from the original work as an example. Its core material is not actually a rare metal, but the soul bone of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. Because it utilizes that soul bone, this soul tool also has a solidified soul bone skill called Tyrant Blade Slash.

Zi Mu and Wang Shaojie were stunned for a moment, and then a look of embarrassment appeared on their faces.

Then Wang Shaojie shamelessly said, "Brother Huo, but I always feel there's something wrong with those materials. If you, a genius soul master, could give me some guidance, I think the problem with those materials might be solved. Besides, there's a soul bone among those materials!"

His cousin works for the Royal Guard, which is under the command of the Third Prince. In fact, the Third Prince is Xu Tianran's strongest competitor at present, because he has the support of the royal family and is now at the height of his power.

However, compared to the Crown Prince, the Third Prince is still far inferior. Once His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, even with the support of the royal family, the Third Prince's life will probably not be easy. After all, the Third Prince is not like Xu Tianzhen, who is pampered by the royal family.

If the Third Prince's life becomes unbearable, how good will my life be?
Therefore, for the sake of his own future, even if he had to give away the family's ancestral thousand-year-old soul bone, he would seize the opportunity to curry favor with a genius soul master. No matter who becomes emperor, such a genius soul master will be highly valued!
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao glanced at Wang Shaojie with some surprise.

You're going to use this to test a genius soul master? Which genius soul master couldn't withstand such a test?

For him, soul bones were not a problem. After all, he was a genius valued by Kong Deming. With Kong Deming's prestige in the empire, it would not be difficult for him to find a complete set of soul bones. Of course, for Huo Yuhao, suitable soul bones were the most important thing.

Xuan Ziwen walked over and said with some helplessness, "The hall master and I will fully support Yuhao's needs for all materials, including soul bones. As for the two of you, please don't bother Yuhao anymore."

Wang Shaojie then gave up, and he and Zimu obediently walked to the side.

Xuan Ziwen looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Yuhao, start now. I hope your soul tool can continue to bring me surprises."

He was confident that Huo Yuhao would pass the test, but he didn't know what kind of level-three soul tool Huo Yuhao would create.

For him, Huo Yuhao's ideas were novel and truly befitting of the title of genius soul master.

"Okay, teacher." Huo Yuhao nodded, and then he began to make a soul tool, while everyone around him watched his movements intently.

After a while, Huo Yuhao pointed to a black metal disc on the table and said, "Teacher Xuan, this is the level three soul tool I made."

Xuan Ziwen was stunned for a moment, then took a closer look at the black metal disc and noticed a strange pattern on its surface.

Based on the manufacturing process he had just witnessed, he knew that Huo Yuhao had inscribed two charging arrays, three soul power detection arrays, and one array he didn't recognize within the cube. That unfamiliar array was likely one Huo Yuhao had developed himself. The profession of Soul Master has a long history and a systematic body of knowledge; core arrays are one of the most important components of this knowledge. Of course, core arrays are also creations of humans, and their number in this world is not static but rather increases with the development of the times.

"So, what is the purpose of this thing?" Xuan Ziwen's mind was racing. Because other students were around, he didn't ask Huo Yuhao right away, but instead began to study the soul tool.

The others also looked at the strange soul tool with puzzled expressions.

"Could it be that Huo Yuhao failed to create a level-three soul tool?" Such a thought flashed through Wang Shaojie's mind, but he immediately rejected it, because Huo Yuhao was a genius soul tool master, and it was absolutely impossible for him to fail in creating a level-three soul tool.

Xuan Ziwen studied it for a while, then sighed and said with some disappointment, "Yuhao, I can only confirm that this soul tool has the function of detecting soul power, but if it can only detect soul power, the soul probe that the Sun Moon Empire is researching can completely replace it."

He felt that he might have placed too high expectations on Huo Yuhao, thus putting too much pressure on him, which led to Huo Yuhao's creative ideas running dry. For a moment, Xuan Ziwen felt a little guilty, after all, the other party was still just a child, and he shouldn't have placed such huge expectations on a child.

"Teacher, you're right, it does have the function of detecting soul power, but it can be used to distinguish different soul powers," Huo Yuhao explained patiently.

"Different soul powers?" Xuan Ziwen asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, different soul power. For example, if two academies are competing in the Soul Arena, and one side wins by secretly cheating through off-field assistance, do you think that's fair?"

"That's definitely unfair, so you designed the Level 3 Soul Tool to prevent cheating?" Xuan Ziwen asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, its core function is to remember the soul power fluctuations of a Soul Master. Once a soul power fluctuation outside its memory appears within its detection range, it will immediately issue a warning. However, limited by its level, it can only remember soul power fluctuations at the Soul Emperor level at most," Huo Yuhao said.

The level and effectiveness of soul tools are not equal, and not all soul tools can reach the level nine cap. Take the invincible shield as an example. A level five invincible shield can withstand a Soul Douluo for three seconds, but in Douluo Continent II, the strongest invincible shield is only level seven. Of course, the original author did not write how strong level seven is, but a level six invincible shield can withstand a Title Douluo for three seconds!
He had no choice. After all, Shrek Academy and Tang Sect had a long-standing tradition of cheating, and he wasn't a member of Shrek. So, with the Grim Reaper's intervention and his mental detection warning gone, Shrek Academy would definitely lose even more people.

So he used some rare and precious metals to create this thing.

If the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were to encounter Shrek Academy in this competition, given Shrek Academy's nature, they would definitely cheat in order to uphold their millennia-old glory!

After all, the Grim Reaper is too powerful, and it's too difficult for Shrek to win without cheating. Therefore, if Shrek has any idea to cheat, they must be stopped.
