FE-Chapter 70: Yuhao, You Must Have Thought of It
"Senior Li Yan, the fusion of two, three, or even more kinds of rare flames you mentioned… is this how it is fused?"
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, raised his hands slightly, and released a wisp of Chilling Bone Flame and a wisp of Purple Flame, respectively.
Watching his left hand surrounded by a dark white flame and his right hand enveloped in purple flame, he pressed his hands together, and the two flames gradually merged.
Li Yan was shocked and stuttered, "Huo, Huo, I just heard Xiao Hongchen say that you made a new type of soul guidance grenade gun."
"Its ammunition is created by utilizing the fire attribute soul power of the martial soul, using metal to carry the product of the fusion of two flames, transforming it into a Flame Lotus Bomb."
"But, if the martial soul is directly fused with two flames, will there be no mutual repulsion and explosion?"
Li Yan's mouth twitched. Although there are records of bigwigs who tried to fuse flames in ancient books, they were all unable to solve the problem of mutual repulsion between flames.
After Xiao Hongchen's explanation, Li Yan could barely understand how to create the Flame Lotus Bomb.
In essence, all soul-guidance shells are ammunition infused with soul power in metal, using the core magic array as a starting device to detonate and cause powerful destructive power.
The Flame Lotus Bomb is fundamentally ammunition that combines reinforced metal and two powerful fire-attribute soul powers.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Of course, the fusion of two flames can explode."
"But it won't explode during the fusion process. My martial soul can effectively avoid this negative situation, but it requires more practice. Senior Li Yan, just think of it as a special ability of my martial soul."
"After the successful fusion, utilizing the explosion as a means of attack can indeed allow me to fight against higher levels… even slightly higher levels are not exaggerated."
Li Yan silently contemplated. This is the difference between fire and fire.
He secretly resolved that if he had the chance in the future, he would emulate the predecessor recorded in ancient books.
Let his Spirit Fire Martial Soul fuse with one or two other flames, removing the impurities within them to make the fire attribute of his martial soul increasingly pure.
Thinking of this, Li Yan clenched his fists, and a sense of heroism unexpectedly grew from the depths of his heart.
...Don't bully the weak Spirit Fire!
"Senior Li Yan, since you have such great ambitions, you must work hard. Maybe one day you will be able to gather two, three, or even more kinds of flames into your martial soul." Huo Yuhao patted his arm as if he had high expectations for Senior Li Yan.
Li Yan's eyes radiated unprecedented determination as he nodded heavily, indicating he would create glory for Spirit Fire in the future!
Xiao Hongchen patted Li Yan's other shoulder and smiled confidently: "Li Yan, remember to go back and inform Brother Ma Rulong."
"Grandpa said that a friendly competition between the reserve team and the regular players will be organized later, so let Brother Ma be prepared."
Xiao Hongchen was very proud and self-assured.
"Then let Brother Ma see that, with Huo Yuhao's assistance, my soul guidance turrets can sweep the ground with terrifying firepower." Li Yan noticed that Xiao Hongchen was as confident as ever, which he was accustomed to. What surprised him a little was that with the assistance of Huo Yuhao?
"Are you sure you're not fighting alongside Huo Yuhao?"
Xiao Hongchen shook his head and smiled mischievously: "Yuhao will not take action at that time; I will be the only one firing the whole time."
Li Yan was stunned for a moment and replied reasonably, "Based on your previous battles with Brother Ma, it is difficult for you to win alone."
"Previously, it was only when you and Meng Hongchen joined forces that it was feasible to defeat Brother Ma."
Xiao Hongchen only told Li Yan part of the story about Yuhao's flame martial soul and the grenade gun.
As for the spiritual detection soul skill perspective + automatic aiming, it was impossible to reveal it in advance.
This kind of soul skill, which greatly boosts the turret-type soul engineer, must be saved for friendly matches to give the regular players a little shock.
After seeing Li Yan off, Xiao Hongchen's gaze shifted between Huo Yuhao and his sister.
"Yuhao, Meng, why have you two been together at night for the past three months?"
"Even if you are drawing character portraits for comics, you should be proficient in each part after such a long time."
Although Xiao Hongchen could barely accept it, Yuhao and his sister were cultivating a close relationship together.
After all, this also concerns the depth of the bond between him, the future brother-in-law, and Yuhao.
But Xiao Hongchen felt that, whether for Yuhao or his sister, it was essential to always remind them not to mess around.
Meng Hongchen smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry so much. I have also been learning Yuhao's painting method during this period." Huo Yuhao leaned against the wall. The reason he asked Meng Hongchen to learn it was the same as his previous concerns. It was nothing more than because the series of battle armor forging, designing, and making procedures required the soul master to personally participate in one of them.
After some careful consideration, he decided to work on the battle armor design together with Meng Hongchen.
Xiao Hongchen stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "Meng if you learn to draw yourself, you won't need Yuhao much."
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "Sister Meng said she wanted to draw a character portrait for me."
Xiao Hongchen opened his mouth but didn't say anything more. He knew his sister was obsessed with looks, so it was reasonable for her to want to draw Huo Yuhao; that was within his expectations.
Immediately, he showed a bright smile, took out a gold card, and handed it to Huo Yuhao.
"Yuhao, this is your patent fee for Hundred Forging Purification. You will receive a share of the profits from the sale of any soul guide made of hundred forged metal."
"Grandpa asked me to give it to you. Take a look."
In the past three months, Jing Hongchen had asked Xu Sheng, Xuan Ziwen, Jia Xu, and some sixth-grade teachers to learn Hundred Forging Purification from Huo Yuhao every weekend.
These teachers all have outstanding talents in the field of soul engineering, and they immediately recognized the extraordinary significance of metal strengthening in soul guidance device production.
In addition, the principle of the Hundred Forging Purification is not difficult to understand. These seventh and eighth-level soul engineers, who have cultivated to the level of Soul Saint and Soul Douluo, mastered the Hundred Forging Purification after practicing with Huo Yuhao for more than a month.
Then Xu Sheng, Jia Xu, and others taught it to other researchers in Illustrious Virtue Hall.
Every teacher who successfully forged hundred-forged metal for the first time felt indescribably uplifted as if he had opened the door to a new world and embarked on an extraordinary road.
Huo Yuhao took the gold card and checked it with his soul power. Currently, only a small number of researchers have mastered the Hundred Forging Purification.
In less than three months, the patent fees he received amounted to more than one million gold soul coins.
Xiao Hongchen patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Yuhao, now that you have money, you don't need my pocket money anymore."
"To be honest, you can break away from us and start your own business."
Xiao Hongchen smiled warmly: "Don't you think so, Yuhao?"
Huo Yuhao glanced at him, his tone indifferent. "Don't test me, Brother Xiao."
"I've said it before: Hundred Forging Purification is only the initial stage. The difficulty will increase exponentially. I still need your support."
"Of course, I will also make the technology public. I won't hide it."
Xiao Hongchen laughed when he heard this: "It seems that Grandpa is right. Yuhao, you are kind-hearted and sincere to others."
More importantly, the soul skills have greatly benefited him. He is simply a perfect brother-in-law.
Then Xiao Hongchen returned to his room in the Illustrious Virtue Hall. Meng Hongchen took a bath, changed into a pure white nightgown, and happily came to Huo Yuhao's room.
After three months of unremitting efforts, Huo Yuhao finally completed the design drawings of the thigh armor, calf armor, and combat boots.
Meng Hongchen looked at the bound illustrations, then lowered her head to examine her white, flawless legs: "Yuhao, I've finished drawing my thighs, calves, and feet. What should I draw next?"
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment: "Skirt."
That is the design of the corset/battle skirt, which is relatively simple to design.
However, his forging level has not yet reached the thousand forging level; he is still a bit short of the mark.
To create battle armor, the minimum requirement for metal in Dou San is to purify it through a thousand forgings.
However, there is no need to rush for success. While successfully designing all the parts of the battle armor, mastering the technology of Thousand Forgings and Purification is relatively ideal progress.
At this time, Huo Yuhao was carefully drawing the design of the short skirt style.
"Sister Meng, please think about the size of the corset and the length of the skirt."
Meng Hongchen held her waist through her nightgown with her hands. Her already slender waist was pulled in by her hands, making her look even more appealing.
She made a circle with her hands and teased, "Hehe, Yuhao, my waist is about this thin."
Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded: "Well, what about the length of the skirt? Sister Meng, how much do you think is suitable?"
Meng Hongchen placed her hands across her fair and round thighs according to the dress she usually wore, moving them up and down to gauge.
"As for the length of the skirt... it should just cover the middle of the thigh and a little above the knee," she said with a smile. The dress she usually wears is of this length.
Huo Yuhao nodded. The battle skirt did not have a significant impact. The thigh armor and calf armor would cover both legs. The battle skirt played a more coordinating role between the upper and lower parts of the battle armor.
Although the battle skirt is considered the hub connecting the upper and lower body armor, it is not a core component of the armor.
The core parts of battle armor are the chest armor and headband. The chest armor can concentrate the power of the entire battle armor, combining the characteristics of the martial soul to distribute the power to other parts of the armor according to its own needs.
After dozens of minutes, Huo Yuhao had already practiced drawing many copies of the first draft of the battle skirt design.
One cannot expect this to be successful overnight; even with his current level of proficiency, it will take about two weeks to draw a flawless design.
Huo Yuhao took out the thousand-year-old whale glue he had bought at the Haoyue Auction House.
Meng Hongchen was surprised and asked, "Yuhao, you haven't taken this whale glue yet?"
"You don't know how to take it... Then why didn't you tell me? I've taken several hundred-year-old whale glues before, so I know how to use them."
Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "I do have some knowledge about how to use it. My soul power level is now level 29."
"I just want to use this ten-thousand-year-old whale glue to directly reach level 30."
Meng Hongchen nodded slightly and said happily, "That's great. Grandpa told me and Xiao before that as long as you can break through to a three-ring soul master before the competition, you will be directly a reserve player."
Then she carefully explained to Huo Yuhao how to take whale glue.
"You probably just need to heat it with fire to soften it. If conditions permit, wrap it slightly with ice attribute soul power, and then put it directly into your mouth."
Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen's martial spirits are both ice attributes, so they naturally meet this condition.
Meng Hongchen reminded with a smile, "Yuhao, you may feel a little hot for a while after taking the whale glue."
"But don't worry; just suppress it with ice attribute soul power."
"Okay, I understand." Huo Yuhao nodded and released the Chilling Bone Flame to heat the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue.
He controlled the intensity of the flame, and after a few seconds, under the burning of the heavenly flame, the whale glue quickly softened, changing to a bright and transparent light golden colloid.
Huo Yuhao wrapped it with his ice soul power and pulled it to his mouth, then took a few large bites.
Meng Hongchen blinked, "How is it, Yuhao?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head to indicate: it's not bitter, soft in the mouth, a thin line in the throat...
As the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue entered his stomach, energy flowed into his limbs and bones, and Huo Yuhao felt a little hot in his chest and abdomen.
He believed there was absolutely nothing wrong with his thoughts, but at this moment, Meng Hongchen's curvy and graceful white legs kept flashing through his mind.
Huo Yuhao instantly realized that something was wrong. It might be that the Chilling Bone Flame had caused problems with the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue.
Meng Hongchen saw Huo Yuhao's rosy cheeks and quickly held his hand, whispering, "Yuhao, use your ice soul power to suppress it."
"It's already being suppressed," Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice.
He then discovered that his original ice martial soul could not suppress the burning heat brought by the whale glue after the Chilling Bone Flame had softened it.
Meng Hongchen was a little worried about Huo Yuhao. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt someone hugging her waist.
"Puff~"
Meng Hongchen suddenly revealed a sweet smile and said, "Yuhao, are you trying to take advantage of me by using the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue?"
"You are the ultimate ice; how can you not suppress it?"
Meng Hongchen twisted her waist, half-embracing Huo Yuhao in response.
"Huh..." Huo Yuhao's breathing grew a little hot, but his soul power exuded a warm and cool feeling. "Sister Meng, there is something wrong with this ten-thousand-year-old whale glue."
Meng Hongchen laughed, "Yuhao, sister knows that ten-thousand-year-old glue will make people hotter."
"But it doesn't affect the mind. You must have thought about it; otherwise you wouldn't take advantage of me."
Seeing Huo Yuhao looking at her with burning eyes.
"If you don't believe me, I'll eat it for you to see." Meng Hongchen had an inexplicable joy on her face. She picked up a small piece of remaining whale jelly and was about to put it in her mouth.
Huo Yuhao quickly raised his hand and pressed it down: "Hey, come on, Sister Meng, believe me, you can't help it."
