Chapter 158 Bai Yuhao Breaks Through Level 50! Bai Xuanzi Wants Him to Create Battle Armor?
[The aerial footage continues to play.]
As the seasons change, Shrek Academy's Tower of Order emits a constant rhythm under different weather conditions.
After the Soul Master Competition ended, everything returned to normal. Huo Yuhao from the White World once again donned his white school uniform, a symbol of his identity, and resumed his studies and life at Shrek Academy's outer courtyard.
The camera lingers on a private training chamber within Shrek Academy.
Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged, the air around him humming loudly due to the condensation of his soul power.
After a semester of intensive study, in addition to completing his daily courses on order and logic, he never stopped compressing and refining his soul power.
On the first day of school, Huo Yuhao's surge of soul power broke through the final barrier.
With a deep, muffled boom, like a rumble of thunder, a visible white aura suddenly spread out from him, instantly purifying the dust on the floor of the secret room.
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, his dark golden pupils gleaming with an unprecedentedly refined light. He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and the fluctuations in his soul power quickly subsided, finally settling steadily at level fifty.
"Level 50." Huo Yuhao extended his right hand, and an extremely solid order rune appeared in his palm.
[Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao, who were waiting outside the secret room, pushed open the door and entered the moment they sensed the fluctuations. Wang Dong'er's eyes were full of joy. She quickly walked to Huo Yuhao's side and said cheerfully, "Yuhao, you really did achieve a breakthrough on the first day of school. Now, the rest of us are among the top in our grade."]
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded, genuinely happy for Huo Yuhao: "Level 50 is a qualitative leap. And most importantly, after level 50, you can start researching the One-Word Battle Armor."
Meanwhile, in the underworld, the Soul Masters who witnessed this scene through the celestial canopy were utterly shocked.
"Fourteen years old… Level 50." A teacher from the underworld looked at the pen in his hand, his nails turning white from the pressure. "Our Huo Yuhao was just starting out at fourteen, still struggling to obtain his third spirit ring. But Huo Yuhao from the white world has already crossed the threshold of the Spirit King."
"Based on this growth curve, it would be an easy thing for him to reach the level 90 Title Douluo before the age of 20, and there would be no obstacles at all."
Many young Soul Masters in the underworld were showing an unprecedented sense of frustration at this time.
"I'm really scared to tears." A disciple from the inner court of the underworld slumped down in despair.
"With this cultivation speed, coupled with his self-created soul skills that can tamper with the laws of physics, who in this world can restrain him? Just how high will Huo Yuhao's achievements be in the future?"
[The video continues to play on the screen.]
Just as Huo Yuhao's cultivation had improved and his aura was still fluctuating, Bai Xuanzi, far away deep within the Sea God Pavilion, already sensed it.
"Yuhao, come over once you break through." Bai Xuanzi's voice rang out directly in Huo Yuhao's mind, calm and clear, as if the barrier across space did not exist.
Huo Yuhao turned around and gave Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er an apologetic smile: "Master called me, I have to go see him first. For this afternoon's practical training, you two will practice basic sparring first."
After bidding farewell to his companions, Huo Yuhao's figure flickered, using his skillful spatial manipulation techniques to swiftly traverse the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy and directly enter the Sea God Pavilion, which exuded an aura of eternity.
Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Bai Xuanzi remained calm. He looked at his disciple, who was already showing signs of becoming a powerful figure, and nodded slightly, his tone carrying a rare hint of approval: "Your growth rate is even more stable than I expected. Level 50 is not only about accumulating soul power, but also a leap in the capacity of your spiritual sea. You've done very well."
Huo Yuhao lowered his head slightly, his expression humble: "It's all thanks to Master's excellent guidance. If it weren't for Master's teaching, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Bai Xuanzi waved his hand, his expression turning serious.
"Humility is a virtue, but stagnation is a sin." Bai Xuanzi stepped down from the high platform and stood with his hands behind his back in the hall. "Now that you are level fifty, the strength of your body and will has reached the basic bearing capacity of Order Armor. From today onwards, you can attempt to design and manufacture a basic 'Battle Armor'."
Upon hearing this word, Huo Yuhao was overjoyed, his eyes shining brightly: "Master, is it ready?"
Over the years, in addition to his Soul Master training, Huo Yuhao has consistently followed Bai Xuanzi's instructions, deeply studying the relevant Battle Armor knowledge within the Shrek Academy's Order Research Institute. He clearly understands that Battle Armor is not simply Soul Guidance Armor, but rather an enhanced armor capable of fusing with Martial Soul, Bloodline, and the Laws of Order into a unified whole.
"The theory is sufficient; what's lacking is practical experience." Bai Xuanzi nodded, his tone rational. "Manufacturing battle armor requires extreme precision and perfect alignment with the laws. Although Shrek Academy has laboratories, the place on the entire continent that currently excels in meticulous manufacturing and replication of order is the Tang Sect."
"I've already summoned the Tang Clan. Go directly to the Tang Clan later and use their deep forging chamber to complete your first piece of battle armor."
The moment Bai Xuanzi finished speaking, a slight ripple appeared on the Sea God Pavilion's barrier of order.
Two young figures slowly entered the hall, guided by the light of their soul tools. Leading the way was a refined-looking young man with eyes that crackled with lightning—none other than Bei Bei, the current acting leader of the Tang Sect. Beside him stood Tang Ya, a lively girl surrounded by the orderly aura of Blue Silver Grass.
[Bei Bei bowed respectfully to Bai Xuanzi: "Bei Bei of the Tang Clan greets Elder Xuan."]
Tang Ya also suppressed her usual liveliness, bowing solemnly. Their gazes towards Huo Yuhao were filled with recognition and anticipation for this legendary disciple of Shrek Academy.
"They've arrived." Bai Xuanzi looked at Huo Yuhao. "Go ahead. If you don't understand something, ask Bei Bei and Tang Ya. They're all family, no need to be so polite."
The audience in the dark world, witnessing this scene, once again fell into a frenzy of speculation about what would happen next.
"Battle Armor? Ever since Bai Zhouyi mentioned it once during the freshman period, it hasn't appeared again. If it's not manufactured soon, I'll almost forget about it."
"Yes! If it weren't playing now, I wouldn't even remember that such a thing existed."
"However, the best place to manufacture battle armor is actually the Tang Sect? This means that the Tang Sect in the Bai world is developing very well now..."
"In comparison, Tangmen and Tang Ya, who were at the same stage, are in a much worse situation."
"Yes, at this stage of the underworld, the Tang Sect has completely declined, and even Tang Ya has been corrupted into an evil soul master. That was truly tragic..."
