Chapter 97 Top-Grade Level 9 Soul Guidance Device.
Guangling Douluo stood on one side of the battlefield, his gaze fixed on what lay ahead. Although he had already anticipated that the power of this weapon would be extraordinary, he was still incredibly shocked when he witnessed its power firsthand.
Guangling carefully estimated that the explosive power of each shell was equivalent to the energy released when a Soul Emperor-level expert self-destructed. It's important to understand that the self-destruction of a Soul Emperor is powerful enough to threaten a Soul Saint-level expert. If several or even more Soul Emperors self-destructed simultaneously, the destructive power would be unimaginable, potentially even killing a high-level Soul Saint or a Soul Douluo.
However, the shock of the Light Feather Douluo did not stop there. After a round of violent explosions, he noticed that the 16 level 6 fixed-position soul-guided cannons behind Huo Yuhao began to rapidly recharge for the next round. This made him feel incredible; such powerful weapons could still fire continuously, which was unprecedented in the world of soul masters.
"Is this ever going to end? Fifth Soul Skill, Gathering of Cold Blossoms!" Faced with another 16 cannonballs hurtling towards him, Chrysanthemum Douluo decided to stop using his protective shield and instead intercept the cannonballs in mid-air with his Soul Skill. He quickly unleashed his Soul Skill, and chrysanthemum petals, shimmering with golden light, flew from his hands, accurately piercing the Soul Guidance Cannonballs.
Chrysanthemum Douluo originally planned to split all the cannonballs in half to eliminate the threat. However, to his surprise, the moment the petals touched the cannonballs, all 16 cannonballs exploded.
As is well known, the power of an artillery shell exploding in the air is even greater. This airburst effect not only increases the blast radius but also multiplies the destructive power of the shell.
With a series of deafening explosions echoing through the sky, shockwaves of terror spread outwards from the epicenter. The power of the explosions was immense; it seemed as if even the air itself trembled, dust billowed, and stones were sent flying in all directions.
Qian Daoliu's gaze sharpened. He slowly moved his fingers, and strands of angelic soul power instantly flowed like dragons, constantly weaving through the shockwaves of the explosion. These soul powers traced dazzling trajectories in the air, precisely intercepting every fragment and energy fluctuation generated by the explosion.
The shockwave from the explosion, which had been raging outwards, gradually subsided under the resistance of the angel's soul power. It was as if, after a violent storm, everything had returned to calm. Qian Daoliu's soul power acted like an invisible wall, trapping the powerful shockwave within.
Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, Qian Daoliu's remaining soul power returned to his body once more. This seemingly simple action contained unfathomable power control.
Sensing the feedback from the soul power within his body, Qian Daoliu was able to assess that the power generated by the explosion of those cannonballs was enough to injure even a low-level Soul Douluo.
Bibi Dong looked at Qian Daoliu, her eyes narrowing slightly. As expected of an old man who has lived for over 100 years, Qian Daoliu's control over soul power has probably reached a level of unparalleled mastery.
Bibi Dong estimated in her mind that perhaps only when she filled all 18 empty soul ring slots on her body would she have a chance to defeat this old guy.
"Alright, Yuhao, Chrysanthemum Pass, let's end today's battle here. I already know the power of these soul tools." Qian Daoliu's voice echoed across the battlefield, revealing a hint of satisfaction in his words.
Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately withdrew his martial soul, and the enormous chrysanthemum petals slowly closed, restoring calm. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao's mecha began to disassemble; its intricate components, as if alive, automatically folded and contracted, ultimately transforming into a small device, which Huo Yuhao easily stored in his storage soul tool. The other soul tools around him were also collected, and the entire battlefield instantly returned to normal.
Huo Yuhao's performance just now shocked and disbelieved everyone present. After all, without using any soul skills, Huo Yuhao displayed amazing power solely by relying on those exquisite soul tools. His power was comparable to that of a strong attack-type Soul Douluo.
This was nothing short of a revolutionary change, overturning long-held traditional beliefs within the Soul Master community.
Imagine if these soul tools could be mass-produced, then both support-type soul masters and those who are considered to have no combat ability and are considered to have useless martial souls would have the opportunity to unleash power comparable to power-attack-type soul masters.
Moreover, with a milk bottle capable of storing soul power, even an ordinary person without soul power could potentially kill a soul master wielding a soul tool, let alone a soul master wielding a soul tool.
Huo Yuhao's battle just now proved this point. In a contest between people of equal skill levels, a Soul Master with a Soul Tool can easily crush those who rely on traditional Soul Skills, thanks to their ranged attacks and powerful destructive force. Imagine, you haven't even had a chance to unleash your Soul Skill, while your opponent has already set up a cannon a thousand meters away, capable of blasting you into serious injury with a single shot—how can such a battle even take place?
In Qian Daoliu's eyes, this soul tool was undoubtedly a product of a new era. It was not merely a weapon, but a game-changing tool. It would fundamentally alter the way soul masters fought, and might even redefine the power system of soul masters.
"Teacher, Grandfather, and all the elders," Huo Yuhao's voice echoed in the air.
"We are currently in the early stages of mass production of soul tools. In order to promote this technology, we must gather a large number of skilled craftsmen to carry out these preliminary tasks. Therefore, we must take over Gengxin City."
Huo Yuhao stood there, lost in thought for a long time. He knew the weight of his responsibilities and that he couldn't personally guide the development of soul tools, as his time and energy had to be focused on more crucial matters. Improving his own strength was his most pressing task. Completely planning the future path of soul tools for the Spirit Hall was already the limit of his abilities.
After careful consideration, Huo Yuhao had already decided on the best person to go to Gengxin City. He slowly walked towards Qingluan Douluo, his tone full of sincerity and trust: "Qingluan, I entrust this trip to Gengxin City entirely to you."
Among all the elders and retainers of the Spirit Hall, apart from Qian Daoliu, Qingluan Douluo was undoubtedly the most composed and reliable. His style of doing things was meticulous, and his decision-making was wise. Huo Yuhao felt very reassured having him handle the affairs of Gengxin City.
Huo Yuhao added, "Senior Qingluan, I have a few more special items here that I hope you can bring to Craftsman Lou Gao in Gengxin City. I've heard that Craftsman Lou Gao has an almost obsessive passion for the art of forging. With these items, I believe the chances of persuading him will greatly increase."
After saying this, Huo Yuhao took out three items from his pocket and handed them to Qingluan Douluo. The three items were the Summer's Sorrow Frost Mecha, a Level 6 Piercing Cannon, and a mysterious blueprint that was only half a page long.
Qingluan Douluo took the items, his gaze falling on the half of the drawing, his eyes revealing deep curiosity: "Yuhao, what is drawn on this half of the drawing?"
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and explained, "Qingluan, the blueprint in your hand is the top-grade level nine soul tool I mentioned before, capable of killing a Super Douluo!"
