Douluo Continent: Rebirth of Huo Yuhao - Return to the Peerless Realm

"Soul power can be converted into light, and light can naturally be converted into soul power," Huo Yuhao said lightly.

The Sun Moon Empire is experiencing an explosion of soul-guiding technology. The technology of converting light energy into soul power was developed thirty years later. Before that, soul masters had to charge their soul-guiding devices. And I will bring this technology to the stage of history ahead of time.

"This! This! This!" The salesperson's feelings at this moment were beyond words. His vision was too narrow to see the possibility of realizing this technology, but the basic theory of soul guidance was telling him how great this technology was.

"This is not something I can decide. Please wait one night." The salesperson said respectfully, while taking out a silver card and handing it to Huo Yuhao, earnestly saying, "This is the shop's Soul Master card, which contains 100,000 Gold Soul Coins. I'm giving it to you on behalf of the shop manager. Please wait one night."

"Have you had dinner yet? If not, I'll arrange it later."

"Thank you for your trouble." Huo Yuhao cupped his hands and said in a relaxed tone, "I won't go to the lounge. I'll stay here tonight and draw up the blueprints for the soul tool I'm going to sell."

"Okay, I'll go inform the store manager right away." The salesperson waved his hand, respectfully left the room, closed the door for Huo Yuhao, and strode towards Shrek Academy.

He wasn't afraid that Huo Yuhao was bragging. If it was true, he could also profit from it; if it was false, given the shop manager's abilities, Shrek City wouldn't tolerate Huo Yuhao. As for the card he gave out, it was the shop's Soul Master purchasing card, and it was paid for by the shop, so he wouldn't suffer any loss.

Of course, he didn't forget that Huo Yuhao hadn't eaten yet, and soon some food was brought to Huo Yuhao.

"Braised earthworm tendons, steamed silver-scaled fish, moon-gazing rhinoceros spirit soup, and roasted red-feathered eagle—these are all dishes from the fourth-year cafeteria at Shrek Academy. The salesperson who can get these dishes must be a teacher at Shrek Academy," Huo Yuhao reasoned as he ate.

Earth Dragon Tendon improves meridians, Silver Scale Fish enhances soul power absorption efficiency, Moon Gazing Rhinoceros Spirit Ointment boosts mental strength, and Crimson Feather Eagle provides a large amount of qi and blood. These four foods can comprehensively improve a soul master's physical qualities. Shrek Academy's cafeteria is still incredibly luxurious and prestigious.

"The person who can make soul tools is probably a teacher of soul tools at Shrek Academy, maybe Teacher Fan Yu." Huo Yuhao finished his food elegantly, feeling the abundant soul power in his body, and began to use his mental detection.

The workshop didn't have many materials, but the materials Huo Yuhao needed weren't complicated either. He threw the simplest glass material into the crucible, added a few metal powders, increased the heat, and crackling sounds came from the furnace.

After discarding the waste material on the top layer, Huo Yuhao increased the heat and refined it for another quarter of an hour. His eyes flashed as he watched the specks of soul power escaping from the crucible. As if snatching chestnuts from a fire, he directly picked up the crucible and placed it on the table, waiting for it to cool down.

Fifteen minutes, twenty-four minutes, thirty-four minutes later, during the night shift, Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered as he saw the salesperson leading a Shrek Academy teacher briskly towards them.

As Huo Yuhao had expected, the person who arrived was indeed Fan Yu. He was about 1.8 meters tall, with very broad shoulders, and his thick, muscular arms were encased in arm sleeves. The crystal tubes on his soul-guiding wrist guards clung to his granite-like muscles. His face was sharply defined, and his gaze was deep and serious. Just standing there, he gave off a sense of imposing presence, like a mountain.

"In Shrek City, how could the teachers not own their own businesses?" Huo Yuhao sighed softly. He really hadn't expected to see his former teacher, who had shown him kindness and support, so soon.

There was a knock on the door, and Huo Yuhao answered. The salesperson then led Fan Yu into the room. The salesperson had already mentioned Huo Yuhao's situation on the way, so he wasn't too surprised, but rather scrutinized Huo Yuhao with a questioning look.

"Shopkeeper, this is the Soul Master I mentioned who sells techniques. His name is Huo Yuhao." The salesperson said respectfully, then turned to Huo Yuhao and said, "This is our shopkeeper, a teacher in the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent."

"Mm." Huo Yuhao nodded calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.

But in Fan Yu's eyes, this attitude was nothing more than a child's ignorance of the world. Therefore, his doubts grew even stronger.

"If you're going to sell the technology of converting light energy into soul power, I hope you can produce tangible results, not just some theories." Fan Yu's words were steady, but Huo Yuhao still noticed the doubts deep within them.

"Hmm." Huo Yuhao nodded, and without delay, poured the contents of the crucible on the table out, picked up the forging hammer beside him, and gently tapped it down.

The sound of the hammer striking the glass rang out. Huo Yuhao's method of exerting force was ingenious. The glass shattered like a feather, and Huo Yuhao picked up several black crystals and handed them to Fan Yu.

"Is this your technological achievement?" Fan Yu carefully examined the broken materials on the table. After confirming that it was just ordinary glass, he became even more curious about the black crystal in his hand. He opened his palm, and the soul guide lamp in the room shone on it, transmitting extremely weak soul power into his hand.

"The soul power is very weak." Fan Yu sensed it, closed his palm, and noticed the interruption in the soul power emission. He opened his palm again, and the white light shone on it, causing the weak soul power to emanate again.

"Although faint, it is indeed converted from light energy."

"Well, the current conditions are limited, and the conversion rate is only one percent. If we continue to delve deeper, we can increase the conversion rate to five percent." Huo Yuhao leaned lightly against the worktable, his eyes gleaming. He had a kind of confidence; Fan Yu was an eighth-level Soul Master, and he couldn't possibly be unaware of the value of this technology.

"Ten percent might not be enough for military use, but it's sufficient for civilian use." Fan Yu's eyes trembled as he envisioned how this technology would transform the way of life on the mainland after it became widespread. However, his thinking was limited, and he couldn't fully imagine it.

"What is the highest possible conversion rate?"

"It's around five percent, but my skills make it difficult to achieve." Huo Yuhao didn't hide anything from his former teacher and was very frank.

"Five percent!" Fan Yu gripped the crystal in his hand again, his heart pounding, but he suppressed his excitement and asked calmly, "Did you invent this technology?"

"It wasn't invented, it was discovered." Huo Yuhao picked up another crystal and said calmly, "The material was right there; it was just a matter of sooner or later it was discovered."

At this moment, Fan Yu couldn't tell if Huo Yuhao was being modest or arrogant. He only sensed that the technology before him meant Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department would receive a significant influx of resources. As for the discovery of this material, Fan Yu simply felt it was a coincidence.

But this coincidence brought Huo Yuhao a great deal of wealth and unimaginable opportunities.

"I believe you can estimate the value of this material. As for its price, I don't intend to sell it at a high price. It depends on whether you want to buy one piece or buy it outright." Huo Yuhao moved his fingers, and the crystal moved around on his fingertips, as if it were traveling through the void.

"But I only have a formula with a 5% conversion rate right now, so it depends on your offer."

Huo Yuhao's words were very persuasive, but he also understood the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." He could write out 25% of the formula, but he was also aware of Shrek Academy's tricks. He might be arrested, interrogated, or even silenced to ensure his exclusive possession of the formula.

"Okay, how much are you planning to offer?" Fan Yu nodded and asked earnestly.

"One million gold soul coins." Huo Yuhao said decisively. He knew in his heart that this price was just a drop in the ocean for Shrek Academy, and far less than the value of the formula. But he wanted to avoid the risk of being silenced by offering this price.

"One million gold soul coins, buy it or buy it outright?" Fan Yu clenched the crystal in his hand, put his hands behind his back, and continued to scrutinize the child in front of him. This observation also allowed him to see Huo Yuhao's true strength.

"A level 12 Soul Master, around 12 years old, with relatively poor talent. He's dressed simply, and his hands aren't calloused. Judging from the situation, he doesn't seem to have any powerful background; he just discovered this material by chance."
