Jing Hongchen walked into the laboratory and saw Huo Yuhao working at his experiment table. As expected, Yuhao is both talented and hardworking, he thought. Clearing his throat, he spoke up, "Yuhao, I've brought the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record." "Oh? The Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record? Dean, did they agree to your terms?" Huo Yuhao instinctively looked up, placing the rare metal he was analyzing onto the table. As a soul engineer, studying rare metals was crucial for him. Normally, he wouldn't stop his research, but something as important as the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record took priority. He quickly set aside his work and walked over to Jing Hongchen. Soon, he stood before him. Jing Hongchen took the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record out of his storage ring and handed it to Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao took it and immediately began flipping through the contents. A moment later, he had memorized everything. As expected of Tang San this is clearly the flavor of a "castrated" version of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. Very authentic. Some techniques, like the Purple Demon Eyes, seemed fully intact. However, the Mysterious Heaven Skill was missing the method to unlock the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. This meant that anyone practicing this incomplete version would have limited achievements in the Tang Sect's techniques. No wonder the Tang Sect entered a slow decline the moment hidden weapons fell out of favor. According to the original story, achieving mastery of the Mysterious Heaven Skill required opening all eight meridians and reaching the eighth level. A clear sign of full mastery was the ability to emit protective energy in other words, externalized internal force. Tang San had once stated that reaching the sixth level of the Mysterious Heaven Skill would allow full meridian circulation. In other words, future generations could train all they wanted, but they would never progress past the fifth level, making true mastery impossible. Of course, Tang Wulin, as Tang San's son, was an exception. His father had personally taught him how to open the meridians. Huo Yuhao never understood why Tang San hid this knowledge. Even if he left behind the full version, it wouldn't lead to someone overthrowing him. After all, the Mysterious Heaven Skill had limits. Tang San was a dual god entity, and very few gods in the God Realm could match his power. Even if someone in the Tang Sect used the complete version to eventually become a god, wouldn't that just give Tang San another powerful ally? Wouldn't that be a good thing? "How is it, Yuhao? Is this the real thing? If not, I'll go trouble Yan Shaozhe and the others again." "It should be real. They wouldn't go as far as forging a fake Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record just to fool us especially since Fan Yu and He Caitou are extremely important to Shrek Academy." Huo Yuhao accepted the book, planning to show it to Elder Yi later to see if it could be improved. After a brief conversation, Jing Hongchen left to attend to other matters. Huo Yuhao, however, remained in the laboratory and called out in his spiritual sea, "Teacher, I've obtained an incomplete cultivation technique. I want you to take a look." "An incomplete technique?" Electrolux sounded intrigued. "Yes. I'll show it to you now." Huo Yuhao retrieved the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. Electrolux scanned the contents, remained silent for a moment, and then gave his evaluation. "This internal skill called Mysterious Heaven Skill does have issues. However, it can be improved to remove its limitations. Of course, this will take some time. Don't worry I will dedicate some time to studying it." "Thank you, Teacher." A smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's face. Heavenly Soul Empire The Body Sect Inside the Body Sect's great hall, Du Busi, a Rank 98 Super Douluo, sat on his chair, looking at the elders with frustration. "So, we still haven't procured Earth Boring Soul Tools? Without them, how are we supposed to attack Mingde Hall from underground and then retreat safely?" Even though the Body Sect was incredibly powerful, Mingde Hall was a strategic stronghold of the Sun Moon Empire. Attacking it and stealing the one hundred thousand year soul beast embryo would certainly lead to an overwhelming counterattack. Of course, Du Busi was confident that he could break through any enemy encirclement after all, he was exceptionally powerful. And based on his intelligence reports, the Sun Moon Empire had no Ultimate Douluo level experts. But the problem was that the other Body Sect members were far weaker than he was. Du Busi couldn't protect everyone alone. And when it came to abandoning some members to ensure his own escape, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Firstly, as the sect leader, he had to fulfill his responsibilities. Secondly, true Body Martial Souls were incredibly rare in the Douluo Continent. Every single Body Martial Soul user was a precious asset. The fact that Long Aotian failed to recruit that kid Huo Yuhao still bothered Du Busi. Based on Huo Yuhao's performance in the Soul Dueling Tournament, there was no doubt that his martial soul was his eyes. An Eye Martial Soul meant a powerful brain and enhanced vision two of the most important parts of the human body. That alone proved that Huo Yuhao's talent was extraordinary. A white haired elder sighed. "Sect Master, it's not that we aren't trying we simply can't acquire Earth Boring Soul Tools. We've offered a massive sum of gold soul coins to buy them, yet no one is willing to sell. If it weren't for our secrecy, I would have thought that the Sun Moon Empire already knew we were planning to attack Mingde Hall and had preemptively countered us." Du Busi frowned. "Is there really no other way? That soul beast embryo is far too important. It's the key to helping Aotian take the next step forward we must get our hands on it. After all, once I die, the Body Sect will depend on you all and Aotian to keep it standing. Aotian is the leader of the younger generation and the future sect master. But his martial soul his skin is weaker than mine. His future achievements may be inferior to mine, but if we get the one hundred thousand year soul beast embryo, he can awaken a second martial soul. And you all understand what that means." The elders exchanged glances, then the white haired elder hesitated before speaking again. "Sect Master... should we ask Xu Jiawei for help? He was the one who issued this mission and later contacted us directly. Now that we've encountered difficulties, seeking his assistance would be reasonable." Thank you for the support, friends.
