Chapter 488.1. ss 8 Dposition Cannon


    The final decision was for Bei Bei to take the leading role, while Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, Ji Juechen, Ye Guyi, and Nan Qiuqiu would all participate. Of course, Huo Yuhao would have a spot on the team if he could pass his test. However, nobody believed that he could actually do it.


    Bei Bei and four others from Shreks Seven Monsters were part of this operation, excluding Huo Yuhao and He Caitou. In addition to the sword fanatic, who was also a Sou Sage, along with Ye Guyi and Nan Qiuqiu, who were two Soul Emperors with special martial souls, their overall strength was unprecedentedly powerful.


    Of course, Bei Bei was very clear on the difference between having Huo Yuhao around and going on without him. Simply put, even if they encountered a Titled Douluo, Huo Yuhao would give them a chance to kill their opponent with these prodigies prowess. Without Huo Yuhao, the best they could do was protect themselves.


    But Dean Yan and Elder Song, who were two Transcendent Douluo, would also participate in this expedition. Their chances were probably quite good.


    Bei Bei began to prepare intricately after he decided who was to participate in this expedition. He had to make sure that the Tang Sects affairs were properly settled and arranged within the shortest possible time. At the same time, he had to make a trip to Shrek Academys Soul Tool Department so that he could request Xian Liner and Qian Duoduos support, and so that these two Deans could help him temporarily look after the Tang Sect. To that end, the Tang Sect wouldnt run into any problems.


    Huo Yuhao didnt have any energy to see how his eldest senior brother was arranging things; his thoughts were entirely upied by how to forge a ss 8 soul tool.


    There was only one set of blueprints, and he didnt get to choose. Since he didnt get to choose, then he had to rely on his own effort.


    Fortunately, he had He Caitou to help him. Even though he and He Caitou had conflicted with each other for a chance to participate in this expedition, they were brothers after all, and how could He Caitou sit by and watch when his brother was in trouble?


    The brothers entered one of the well-equipped silent rooms within the Soul Tool Hall. Huo Yuhao realized to his surprise that the silent roomsyout was very particr and exquisite. There was an extremelyrge tform for crafting soul tools in the middle, and this tforms surface was silver-white, while there were all sorts of equipment and configurations around it. This seemed very simr from the one that he had used back in the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, though this one was probably better. The reason was because there were some equipment and configurations that even he didnt know about.


    There were many metal racks and frames around the silent room. These racks werent considered pleasing to the eye, but they were very practical, and that was because all sorts of rare metals were ced on these metal racks in all shapes and sizes. Typically, the more precious a rare metal was, the smaller the pieces on the racks would be.


    Forging soul tools would naturally be a lot more effective with a silent room such as this one.


    Huo Yuhao couldnt be bothered with admiring the Soul Tool Halls current development as he walked briskly before the table andid out the blueprints that Xuan Ziwen had given him. Then, he started to study them closely.


    This was the first time that he had seen such detailed andprehensive blueprints of a ss 8 soul tool, but this wasnt the first time that He Caitou had seen such blueprints.


    He Caitous expression changed a little as he saw them. He couldnt help but utter, Teacher Xuan is cruel enough! Little junior brother, do you know what these blueprints are for?


    Huo Yuhao was still looking at the rare metals that this soul tool required, but he hurriedly turned his attention towards the name on the blueprints first page when he heard He Caitous words. Huo Yuhaos expression also became extremely spectacr when he saw the name.


    Dposition cannon! The soul tools name was just two simple words, but Huo Yuhao drew a cold breath.


    Of course he knew about dposition cannons, and such soul tools appeared in various sses. However, dposition cannons of the lowest ss urred as ss 6 soul tools.


    A dposition cannon was a single-target offensive soul tool, and its core principles included the element of space and making use of spaces pyrolytic properties to create formidable destructive power. Dposition cannons were one of the hardest types of soul tools to forge no matter which ss they were in, while they were also considered one of the strongest single-target offensive soul tools within their respective sses.


    That was the reason why He Caitou remarked that Teacher Xuan was cruel. He was, indeed! Even Xuan Ziwen himself would have to put in some effort if he were to forge a ss 8 dposition cannon himself. Furthermore, Huo Yuhao could vaguely remember that Xuan Ziwen had mentioned that ss 8 dposition cannons were impractical and a waste of time. It had formidable attacking power, but forging it required too much effort, while the time and effort needed to forge such a cannon was enough to forge three other ss 8 soul tools. Even though these individual soul tools would have weaker attacking strengths, the three of them added together would still be stronger overall than a single dposition cannon.


    Yet, Teacher Xuan has chosen to use this dposition cannon to stump me. Teacher Xuan, oh, Teacher Xuan. You are too cruel.


    Huo Yuhao wanted to cry, but no tears woulde. But what else could he do? There was nothing he could do against Teacher Xuans authority.


    Huo Yuhao heaved a long sigh as he concentrated on studying those blueprints.


    Huo Yuhao had to make sure he knew what rare metals these blueprints required before he could gather those resources. He couldnt do anything more without sufficient materials, or everything else wouldnt matter, and he wouldnt even a chance to attempt this feat. What else was there to talk about?


    Fortunately, Xuan Ziwen just wanted to see what Huo Yuhao could do after cking for so long. Therefore, there were no problems with resources even though he deliberately chose a difficult ss 8 soul tool to pin him down.


    Shrek Academy had been receiving support from the Douluo Continents three native empires in secret. They didnt have that many rare metals, but they could be considered well-equipped. Even though their haul couldntpare to the Sun Moon Empires scale, the three empiresbined national strengths were sufficient to support all kinds of research and soul tool production.


    Huo Yuhao used one hour to gather all the materials that he required with He Caitous help, and only then did he begin perusing the blueprints for forging this soul tool. His expression quickly changed after just one look.


    Soplicated, this is just tooplicated! Teacher Xuan, youre asking for my life!


    Huo Yuhao felt like he couldnt take it anymore after going through the blueprints for a little while. Twenty-four pieces out of thirty were for designing formation arrays. Huo Yuhao wouldntin if twenty-four formation arrays were needed, because that was just a quantitative problem. He wouldnt have any trouble with that with his speed at crafting soul tools.


    The problem was that these twenty-four pieces actually depicted just three formation arrays, which meant that every formation array had eight pieces on average, and what did that mean? That meant every formation array was asplicated as one could get. Those werent simple two-dimensional pictures  they were all three-dimensional  they even breached topics of four-dimensional spatial features.


    For instance, the most important formation array hovered within the soul tool. This was the first time that Huo Yuhao had even heard of a formation array being used this way, not to mention ever having seen one.


    Huo Yuhao felt like he didnt know where to start.A ss 8 soul tool. It really is a ss 8 soul tool after all!


    Huo Yuhao heaved a long sigh.Does heaven want to punish me?


    Huo Yuhao began to scrutinize those blueprints after momentary sighs andments. He was never one to admit defeat just like that, and he had a defiant personality that made him stronger the more suffering he took.


    Huo Yuhao quickly immersed himself in his studies. He wasnt hasty to attempt to forge the soul tool, but he just studied and interpreted the blueprints intently.


    From Huo Yuhaos perspective, forging wasnt too difficult. Forging a ss 8 soul tool shouldnt be too difficult with his current soul power. That was especially so because he had support from his formidable spiritual power. With his spiritual soul core, Huo Yuhao was confident that his spiritual power wasnt inferior evenpared to a ss 9 soul engineer.


    The crucial problemy in understanding this soul tools principles and its forging method before he could get any work started.


    He Caitou was still watching from one side in the beginning, but he quickly realized that Huo Yuhao had beenpletely absorbed into the blueprints. He Caitou was also staring at these blueprints seriously from the side, and even though these blueprints were soplicated that he wanted to vomit blood, they were still invaluable treasures for soul engineers like them! Not every soul engineer could obtain blueprints of such top-tier soul tools, and that was especially soul for the Douluo Continents three original empires. Top-tier soul tool blueprints were considered extremely rare.


    However, He Caitou felt like he couldnt keep going anymore after observing for a short while. The ss 8 dposition cannons blueprints were absolutely the mostplicated ones amongst the various blueprints of ss 8 soul tools that he had seen. Furthermore, they werent justplicated. He Caitou felt like his head was spinning after just looking at those three-dimensional blueprints for a short while.


    He Caitou knew that he wascking in spiritual power. Even though he was already working very hard, he knew that his spiritual power could only catch up after his soul power passed Rank 85 for him to consider these blueprints.


    He stole a nce at Huo Yuhao, and discovered that Huo Yuhao was very seriously studying them, but he didnt seem like he waspletely lost. He Caitou couldnt help but feel a tinge of admiration and envy.Little junior brothers spiritual power is truly admirable!


    Soul engineers were more reliant on spiritual power in some sensepared to soul masters, and that was more the case as soul engineers became stronger.


    Time continued to pass. He Caitou apanied Huo Yuhao for another two hours inside the silent room before he left quietly, as he knew that he could no longer help him in here. He didnt know how much time would pass before Huo Yuhao would awaken from his contemtion.


    He Caitou left quietly, and informed the Tang Sects other members that nobody was to disturb Huo Yuhao.


    One day passed in the blink of an eye, and Huo Yuhao had been inside the silent room from the beginning to the end. He Caitou came to visit him twice discreetly, and Xuan Ziwen even came to see Huo Yuhao once. However, Huo Yuhao didnt speak, and neither did he move as he stared at those blueprints, like his entire being waspletely immersed within them.


    He Caitou sighed exasperatedly, while Xuan Ziwen was feeling happy inside. Of course, he knew how difficult it was to forge a ss 8 dposition cannon. This was meant to deliberately stump Huo Yuhao, after all.


    Xuan Ziwen was clear that bing a ss 9 soul engineer was his limit with his talents. That wasnt because his abilities at research werent enough, but because he didnt have enough soul power. He couldnt possibly be a Transcendent Douluo in the future, and if he couldnt be a Transcendent Douluo, then he wouldnt have a chance to try to be a ss 10 soul engineer in the future.
