"A bit unsatisfactory?"
Huo Yuhao knew that Bei Bei was trying to spare his feelings!
He was just a "waste" with an innate level one soul power. It had taken him a full five years to go from level one to level ten!
Was this merely "unsatisfactory"?
Bei Bei and Tang Ya didn't look down on him for being a waste. Instead, they genuinely accepted him, which deeply moved Huo Yuhao.
"Senior Brother, you don't have to be so tactful. I understand my own talent."
Huo Yuhao spoke with a hint of sadness. To avenge his mother, he needed absolute strength, strength enough to overturn the White Tiger Duke's mansion!
Bei Bei fell silent for a moment before saying, "Junior Brother, if the path of a soul master doesn't work out for you, why not try the path of a soul engineer?"
"Xiao Ya is right. Your martial soul is your eyes, which will be a great help in learning the knowledge of soul tools."
"There are many ways for a soul engineer to improve their strength. The most direct method is to take medicinal drugs. Once we earn more money, we can also help you raise your soul power level."
Huo Yuhao had always been interested in soul tools, and now that Bei Bei had suggested it, he felt even more determined.
Fate had brought him into the world at this time, and his martial soul being his eyes seemed to indicate that he was meant to develop and advance soul tools. However, under someone's guidance, he had strayed from that path.
Despite learning extensively and becoming a level nine soul engineer, he had not produced a single noteworthy work or left any significant contributions.
It was as if soul tools were merely a passing phase for Huo Yuhao.
Now that Huo Yuhao had lost his "soul master talent," what about his talent as a soul engineer?...
"Alright, I'll make sure to study hard when the time comes!"
"Hehe, it's not just about you studying hard!"
"?"
Huo Yuhao glanced at Tang Ya in confusion, feeling a bit lost.
Tang Ya exchanged a look with Bei Bei and smiled. "Soul tools and hidden weapons share many similarities. We'll also be learning about soul tools."
"But unlike you, who seems like a natural-born soul engineer, we'll have to depend on our talent."
God had closed a door for Huo Yuhao but opened a window for him.
If he couldn't become a powerful soul master, becoming a soul engineer wasn't a bad alternative.
"Let's learn together!"
The three of them laughed together, like siblings.
After all, weren't they relying on each other now?
In the central area of Liyue, near the western side, almost directly across from the Zhongli residence, a group of people had gathered, their expressions peculiar.
"The matter has already happened. Let's discuss our thoughts."
The middle-aged man at the head looked very refined, almost identical to Ning Fengzhi from ten thousand years ago.
Wu Yun, with an unchanged expression, said, "Sect Master, we must not speak carelessly."
"The Martial God must have his reasons for doing this."
"Besides, if people from the three nations of Douluo can come to Liyue, why can't people from the Sun Moon Empire?"
At this point, Wu Yun paused before continuing, "As far as I know, the master of the Illustrious Virtue Hall has visited the Martial God several times, and each time, he has been received."
Wu Yun didn't elaborate further, but no one present was foolish enough to miss his meaning.
"Even the Martial God places such importance on soul tools, yet Shrek Academy treats them like vicious beasts."
"Even if Shrek Academy hasn't offended the Martial God, it won't be long before the academy suffers the consequences of soul tools."
For the direct descendants of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the emergence of soul tools was a very good thing.
In the past, they relied on hidden weapons to gain combat power. Now, with soul tools, they could achieve even greater strength.
As a purely support-type sect, soul tools were nothing short of a blessing.
In recent years, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had secretly developed soul tool technology and had achieved considerable success. They were not lacking in level eight soul engineers.
The reason they had gathered today was not because of the soul tool class but because of Zhongli's attitude toward the three nations of Douluo and the Sun Moon Empire!
This was a god who could alter the fate of the continent. If the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wanted to survive in such turbulent times and gain certain benefits, they would need to choose a side.
They were unsure of Zhongli's stance, so they dared not take sides rashly. However, standing with Zhongli was undoubtedly the right choice.
Even the Sea God Tang San had fallen. What more was there to consider?
What? Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Tang San were closely related?
Who were Ning Rongrong and Oscar?
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had no descendants of these two!
"Sect Master, everyone, it's not us who should be anxious. We just need to lend a hand when the Martial God makes his decision."
Indeed, it was the three nations of Douluo who should be anxious, not the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Whoever held power didn't matter much to the sect. The sect would remain the sect.
Just as the Heaven Dou Empire had split into the Heaven Soul and Douling Empires, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was still the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Let's end today's discussion here."
"The soul tool class will need materials for experiments. Send some materials over."
As the sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he was no fool. The elder had made things quite clear, and if he still didn't understand, he would indeed be foolish.
"Also, have the soul engineers in the sect visit the soul tool class to see if they can learn some of the advanced soul tool techniques from the Sun Moon Empire!"
Even among level eight soul tools, there were differences. These were level eight soul tools from the Illustrious Virtue Hall, not some amateur creations.
If they could truly learn something, it didn't matter where these people came from!
While everyone was discussing the Illustrious Virtue Hall and level eight soul engineers, Zhongli was in a dark, lightless space.
"The Plane of the Undead, it lives up to its name."
This was the Plane of the Undead, composed of everything from the lowest-level skeletons to the highest-level bone dragons.
Unfortunately, due to its lack of development, the Plane of the Undead was relatively weak among "planes."
The growth of a plane depended on many factors.
Energy, structure, dimensions, lifeforms…
To strengthen the Plane of the Undead, one needed to enhance its core energy and improve the strength of the undead.
Elaihos also had self-awareness, referring to it as a "semi-plane" rather than a true plane.
After sensing the plane, Zhongli began to reshape it.
Years later, some undead would recall: The Plane of the Undead originally had no light, until that person appeared. He was like the most brilliant sun, illuminating the entire Plane of the Undead.
Electrolux was the Child of Light, and his undead were not afraid of sunlight, possessing some resistance to light magic.
As Zhongli acted, a radiant sun seemed to appear in the sky of the Plane of the Undead, leaving all the undead in a daze.
As undead, their eyes were hollow, but green flames flickered within them, their source of life.
It had been so long since they had seen light, and now… the flames in their souls flickered a bit faster.
"Light…"
"This is the light of hope!"
