Chapter 225 Seven Deadly Sins (Two in One)

Mingde Hall.

As the carving knife in the young man's hand slowly fell, and he accurately traced the last deep lines on the core of the formation, Jing Hongchen's hanging heart also completely dropped.

"call--"

After letting out a long sigh, before he could speak, Huo Yuhao grabbed the brush on the side and began to clean up the metal shavings remaining on it.

I don't know whether he is too confident in his own skills, or he is really big-hearted. Huo Yuhao's cleaning movements are not as careful as others, but seem a bit rough.

This kid.

I, the bystander, was so nervous, but he acted like a normal person.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's unchanging expression from beginning to end, Jing Hongchen smiled bitterly to himself, but didn't say anything more.

With his experience, he could not find any faults with this soul guidance core at this moment. It would not even be an exaggeration to say that it was perfect. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, it would be difficult for him to believe that this thing was made by a rookie.

"Yes, this is the first time you have officially made the core of a seventh-level soul guide. You can do this. Even among seventh-level soul guides, your work is very amazing."

"The fourth-ring cultivation force forcibly makes a seventh-level core. You should have very little soul power left now, so there is no need to waste energy on the test. You have passed the test."

With that said, Jing Hongchen flipped his palm, took out a badge with the sun and moon as the base and seven golden stars printed on it from the storage space, and handed it to Huo Yuhao.

"Take this, from now on, you will be a seventh-level soul engineer certified by Mingde Hall. However, since you have progressed too fast recently, it is best not to rush to learn the knowledge of eighth-level soul guides in the next period of time in order to improve yourself. The main thing is to integrate what I learned during this period.”

"Yes, Hall Master."

Huo Yuhao naturally had no objection. From the time he joined Sun Moon College to the present, he had been promoted from the fifth-level soul instructor to the seventh-level soul instructor in just about half a year. The talent he showed had already earned him enough attention. There was no need to show more. many.

The current progress can be said to be due to the more resources and teachings gained after joining Sun and Moon College, and the accumulation of accumulated experience. If it continues at this speed, what will be gained is not attention, but suspicion.

"Oh, yes, there is also this."

Jing Hongchen nodded with satisfaction, then as if he remembered something, he suddenly took out a piece of off-white metal the size of a fist.

"This is a piece of rare metal made through an unknown method. I got it more than a year ago. At that time, it was still a soul guidance armor. In order to remelt it into this state, several ninth-level soul masters in the hall It’s a huge price to pay.”

"And its effect is also very magical. It is obviously not an alloy, but it can possess the positive properties of many rare metals, even if some of the rare metals conflict with each other."

Looking at the off-white metal in front of him that was particularly familiar to him, Huo Yuhao couldn't help blinking his eyes, feeling strange in his heart.

Isn't this the material of Xiao Lixuan's soul guide armor?

This thing can also be re-melted. Could it be that Mingdetang built a furnace with sun gold? That's too luxurious...

You must know that the high-temperature resistance of that armor is very strong. In addition, it is extremely difficult to separate. To re-cast it into a usable rare metal, the huge price Jing Hongchen said would definitely not be possible. That's a bit of an exaggeration.

After all, Xiao Lixuan had a source of fire when he created it. With the characteristic that any rare metal can be easily recycled into energy, that guy probably didn't think of recycling the soul armor materials through normal channels.

Seeing the surprise in Huo Yuhao's eyes, Jing Hongchen thought that he had finally shocked this brat, and continued to introduce in a proud tone.

"Although most of these characteristics come from those rare metals used to make level six and level seven soul guides, the large quantity cannot support it. So many characteristics come together, making its strength directly surpass the top rare ones like Sun Fine Gold. Metal."

"For this reason, including me, all the eighth-level soul masters or above in Mingde Hall have gathered together to study and discuss it for several months, but they still can't figure out its production principle. As time goes by, we Divide it into many samples and distribute them to the soul engineers so that they can continue to study them in their spare time."

"Although you have just become level 7, in my opinion, you already have the ability to study it. Take this material and treat it as an additional unlimited topic I assigned you. If you don't have a clue, you can also You can use it as a top-grade rare metal to build your own soul guide core."

Having said this, Jing Hongchen paused for a moment, with a solemn look on his face.

"After listening so much, I believe you also understand how precious this material is. Because there is no production method, so use less of this material. I hope that during the production process, you will remember to collect those metal scraps and hand them over to I recast."

"Of course, I am just saying this to let you know how precious it is. I am not saying that you will be reluctant to use it to make the core of a seventh-level soul guide because it can be re-melted. In the future, you want to use it to make an eighth-level or ninth-level soul guide. Once the core of the device is ready, you can dismantle it and give it to me, so you don’t have to worry about reluctance at all.”

"Eliminating waste is one thing, but you can't be timid when it's time to try boldly. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao suddenly realized that he couldn't help but marvel at Jing Hongchen's courage.

No wonder Jing Hongchen is willing to spend such a huge price to master the means to recover it. Perhaps in the eyes of him who owns the fire source, this behavior is a bit thankless, but for the current Mingdetang, this The benefits that the price can bring are absolutely huge.

He took a deep breath and took it along with the seventh-level soul engineer medal.

"Thank you, Master. By the way, Master, I may need to take a long leave of about a month."

It has been half a year since I joined Sun Moon College. Counting the days, it is almost time for the branch elders to go to the headquarters every six months to report on the current situation.

Although he could ask Third Elder Netherworld Thunder Douluo to help him solve the matter like last time, as a titled Douluo, if he showed too much attentiveness to him, it would easily arouse the suspicion of other senior leaders of the Holy Spirit Religion.

Coupled with the fact that his companions at Sun Moon Academy had already got on the right track to some extent, he was planning to go to the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult in person this time.

"Ask for leave?"

Jing Hongchen raised his eyebrows: "What are you going to do?"

Faced with this problem, Huo Yuhao did not hesitate and directly said the words he had prepared long ago.

"Not long after, it will be the time when my parents passed away, so I am planning to go back to my hometown..."

Hearing this, Jing Hongchen suddenly recalled the news recorded in Huo Yuhao's information, and his expression suddenly softened a little.

"Okay, I agree. You have made great progress during this period. Take this time to relax."

"Thank you, Master. I'll take my leave now."

After walking out of the secret laboratory, Huo Yuhao walked to his experimental table with ease. Before he got close, he saw the sleeping figure lying on the table from a distance, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Where have you gone? It seems that today is not the hall master's private teaching time, right?"

The first person to notice the movement was Xiao Hongchen. Ever since he witnessed Huo Yuhao easily defeating Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan one against two, he recognized Huo Yuhao a little more.

In addition, in the past three months, several people had often gathered together to discuss soul tools, and Xiao Hongchen, who had always been arrogant, had regarded Huo Yuhao as one of his few friends.

Of course, Xiao Hongchen deliberately said this word for his own sake. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Huo Yuhao was his only friend.

"I'm going to take the soul master level assessment."

"Assessment? Aren't you already at Level 6..."

Halfway through the words, Xiao Hongchen's voice stopped suddenly. His expression was dull, and his eyes fell directly on the seventh-level soul engineer badge on the young man's chest.

After a brief moment of astonishment, he lowered his head subconsciously, glanced at the badge with six stars on his chest, and raised his head without giving up. After meeting Huo Yuhao's shy smile, he finally seemed to accept it. As if he had lost sight of reality, his expression darkened visibly.

"...As if I didn't ask."

Although he had long thought that such a day would come, when he saw that he was really surpassed by a guy who was inferior to him in age and cultivation, he still felt an inexplicable feeling of frustration in his heart.

Damn it, where did this genius come from?

"Congratulations."

Meng Hongchen, who was on the side, obviously noticed the medal and congratulated him in a polite way.

She didn't know if she could tell something from Huo Yuhao's daily behavior in the past three months. When facing Huo Yuhao, she was no longer as wary as before, and even occasionally looked over with a look in her eyes. Investigative scrutiny.

"Thanks."

Huo Yuhao responded with a smile, and then made a silent gesture towards Keke. Then he tiptoed to the sleeping Orange, leaned over and whispered in his ear.

"Get up."

"Don't... I finally finished my assignment... let me... sleep a little longer..."

Orange pursed her lips, pouting slightly as if she was dissatisfied, and let out a coquettish voice in a daze. Coupled with the slightly natural and stunning appearance, people couldn't help but feel confused.

Because a project assigned by Xuan Ziwen was approaching the deadline, Orange, who was in charge of finishing the project, had been very busy these two days. Although Huo Yuhao had offered to help, how could Orange be willing to trouble him in such a place? expressed refusal.

Seeing the silly girl's depleted expression, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Just when he was about to say something, something suddenly changed.

She didn't know what Orange was thinking in her sleep, but a wisp of invisible energy escaped from her body and swayed into Huo Yuhao's forehead.

It's like the last piece of a puzzle has been completed, and the last touch of gray quietly fades away from the ball of light that represents the original sin of laziness.

The origin of laziness, unlocked.

In an instant, the seven origins of original sin in the spiritual space seemed to have a chain reaction, causing the entire spiritual sea to tremble violently.

As the host, Huo Yuhao felt that his eyes suddenly went dark, just like when the original sin of lust was suddenly unlocked because of Gu Yuena. Even though this time he had made preparations in advance because he expected this situation, the feeling was still more terrifying than before. Under the impact of several times of consciousness, he fell into a state of trance.

Dazzling light burst out from each light ball, just like a few drops of paint falling into clear water. The seven colors representing different original sins instantly infected Huo Yuhao's magnificent spiritual space, and were spreading rapidly in the spiritual space at an unimaginable speed, like a spreading virus.

Those different colors overlapped with each other, and even presented a bizarre color similar to an oil film, which looked full of absurdity.

At the critical moment, Yi Lao shouted, and the gray gas ball incarnation trembled violently. As if to fight for territory, the dead gray swept around with Yi Lao as the center.

It seems that because the original sin source has no consciousness and only expands by instinct, Yi Lao actually suppressed them briefly. Just like fighting for territory, the gray airflow rolled back those bizarre colors and forced them all back to the vicinity of the light ball.

However, these light balls are the origin of the first-level gods after all. Even if they just instinctively want to occupy more space, they are not something that Yi Lao, as a demigod, can suppress continuously, not to mention that Yi Lao is just a remnant soul now.

In just a moment, those lights are ready to move again, just like a rainy day suddenly clearing up, the dazzling light pierces the gray airflow, and once again casts colorful colors in this golden spiritual space.

Seeing that the original sin origin is about to break through the suppression of the gray airflow, a voice full of anger echoed from Huo Yuhao's spiritual space.

"Damn it, something without even consciousness actually wants to grab territory from me!"

As the voice fell, the several golden spiritual origins that were brought into this space by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and are now hanging in the air shine brightly.

Although it is not as good as Yi Lao's consciousness in quality, the effect brought by the complete explosion of the spiritual origin of a million years of cultivation is no worse, and the seven light balls are suppressed again in an instant.

Bingdi, Xiaobai and Bajiao followed Tianmeng and contributed their own strength. Even though they were not good at spirit, their innate extreme cold breath could further slow down the outbreak of the original sin source.

As the provider of the head soul bone, Alu was definitely the busiest one at the moment. Not only did she have to control her own origin sealed in the spiritual space to help suppress those original sin light balls like Tianmeng, but she also had to use her mind to fully activate the soul bone to help Huo Yuhao dispel the impact of those original sins on his mind.

In addition, she even helped Huo Yuhao share part of the impact of the original sin source.

Alu's race was naturally docile, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were not competitive with the world. Alu herself, whose bloodline had evolved, was even more so. Her indifferent mentality made the original sin source's impact on her mind several times smaller than that of Tianmeng and others.

The cooperation of the souls finally pulled Huo Yuhao back from his state of unconsciousness. The moment he felt that Huo Yuhao had regained control of the sea of ​​spirit, Brother Tianmeng shouted urgently.

"Yuhao! Hurry up, we can't hold on for much longer!"

Outside the spiritual space, Juzi, who had fully awakened, was nervously grabbing Huo Yuhao's shoulders and shaking him frantically.

"Lingbing, Lingbing! What's wrong with you?"

She couldn't help but be nervous. Huo Yuhao in front of her had a hollow look in his eyes, as if he had lost consciousness. Anyone could tell at a glance that something was wrong with him.

And the changes were not limited to that. Huo Yuhao's hair also changed under the full force of the soul bone in his head. The originally snow-white long hair seemed to be dyed strand by strand, showing different colors, which looked quite gorgeous.

Not only Juzi, but the others present also looked confused. Compared with Juzi, who was awakened by Huo Yuhao's breath in the middle of the process, they saw the whole process of Huo Yuhao's change more completely.

The situation was fine at the beginning. Huo Yuhao was like being struck by lightning, and his body suddenly froze in place. At this time, they actually didn't react a little, and the scene that happened next was the most shocking to them.

With an inexplicable strange palpitation rising from their hearts, Huo Yuhao in front of them seemed to have opened his spirit eye martial soul, and his eyes were shining with golden light.

However, unlike before, the golden light this time was not pure, but gave people a colorful illusion. Even if they just looked at it, all kinds of dark emotions would emerge in their minds.

Or to put it more accurately, this dark emotion did not appear out of thin air, but originally existed in their hearts, but it was magnified dozens of times at that moment.

For example, Xiao Hongchen felt that he had unparalleled power and became stronger than ever before, as if he only needed to move his fingers, and the whole world would crawl at his feet.

Ke Ke and Nana were somewhat similar. The former remembered the previous conflict between herself and Wang Shaojie, and the latter remembered the evil soul master who took away her parents' souls and tortured them day and night. The tide-like anger seemed to completely drown the reason of both of them.

As for Meng Hongchen, what she thought of was Huo Yuhao, who was lying in a secret room that no one knew about, and who was tied up and unable to resist, and could only let her do whatever she wanted...

Although this effect only lasted for less than a second and was suppressed again after Huo Yuhao's hair changed color, it still left a deep impression on everyone present.

Juzi, who was sleeping, also woke up at this time. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Huo Yuhao with an empty expression.

"Lingbing. Lingbing!"

Under Juzi's constant calls, Huo Yuhao trembled violently, and his dark eyes regained some spirit as if he had just woken up from a dream.

After a brief moment of confusion, he blinked his eyes, as if he had finally figured out the current situation, looked down at Juzi in front of him, and said with a chuckle.

"I'm fine, I just had some problems with my cultivation."

Juzi subconsciously opened her mouth to say something, but looking at Huo Yuhao's smile, she regained her rationality and swallowed the words that were in her throat.

"I'm really fine?"

"I'm really fine, don't worry."

After simply calming Juzi's emotions, Huo Yuhao glanced at Nana and others again and explained softly.

"I need to go back to the dormitory immediately to deal with it. If you have any questions, wait until tomorrow. Don't worry about me."

Seeing everyone nod in agreement, he turned around and walked quickly towards the elevator.

As he walked, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel relieved.

If A-Lu hadn't joined, if Tianmeng and the others hadn't helped suppress it, if he hadn't suffered a loss at the hands of Gu Yuena, which gave him some experience in dealing with it, he might not have been able to get through this time safely.

But even if he regained his sanity, it only meant that he had passed the most dangerous first step. At present, he was only relying on the power of the Eye of Destiny to temporarily suppress the seven original sins, and the hidden dangers had not been completely resolved.

Once his mental power was exhausted and he hadn't thought of a solution, then these original sins would come back.

After leaving Mingde Hall, Huo Yuhao began to speed up crazily. In less than a minute, he returned to his dormitory. After making sure that no one was following him, he stepped into the plane of the dead.

"Are you here?"

The cold voice echoed in his ears. When Huo Yuhao came to his senses, he saw the Snow Queen standing in front of him in a white dress.

As if she had noticed through the contract that something was wrong with his state, the Snow Queen looked him up and down, frowning slightly.

"What happened?"

"All seven sins have been unlocked."

Huo Yuhao quickly recounted what had just happened. Including Yi Lao, the souls who had been discussing fiercely in the spiritual space also took the opportunity to come out.

"Brother Yao said, let's each take one and fuse these original sins to help Yuhao share the burden. It will be easy to solve it."

"No."

Ice Emperor shook his head: "Not to mention that we are short of one person. I, you and A Lu do have the ability to fuse, but Bajiao and Xiaobai's willpower is not high, and it is difficult for them to withstand the influence of the original sins."

Hearing Bingdi's ruthless words, Xiaobai and Bajiao subconsciously looked at each other, as if they wanted to say something but stopped, and wanted to say something but stopped.

"The most important thing is that from what we have observed over the years, the power of the original sin origin is bound to the host. Whoever is the host can use the power brought by the original sin origin. If you merge laziness, then Yuhao will most likely not be able to use the effect of laziness. If any of the seven origins is missing, Yuhao's strength will be greatly reduced."

"That's true. It's okay without the others, but if there is no lust, how can Yuhao face the master with a huge difference in strength? I dare not think about it."

".?"

Huo Yuhao's expression froze.

Is it time to discuss this now! ?

"This won't work, that won't work, what should we do?"

Tian Meng shook his head: "We don't have much time. If we don't make a decision quickly, I'm afraid..."

At this moment, an old voice interrupted Tian Meng's words.

"I have a way."

I don't know when Yi Lao, who turned from a gas ball into a gray-robed old man, looked around at everyone and finally looked at Huo Yuhao.

"I can try to integrate these original sin origins into the third martial soul I gave you."
