Chapter 489.2. The Eighteen Ice Needles
Huo Yuhao indeed slowed down. He retracted his other four fingers before using his left hand to pick up the rare metal. Only his right index finger continued to make minor carvings on the metal. Even though he was still quick, he was now much slower than before.
Metal scraps continued to fall, and Huo Yuhao was extremely focused.
Even though it was only the first out of twenty-four core formations, it was still much more complex than the central core formations of many Class 7 soul tools. The more advanced the soul tool, the more difficult it was to make. It was just like soul masters and soul engineers – the higher the cultivation, the more difficult it was to achieve.
Xuan Ziwen felt a sense of nostalgia as he watched Huo Yuhao. Then, when he was still in the Sun Moon Empire, he had relied on a Class 8 decomposition cannon to become the youngest Class 8 soul engineer in the Illustrious Virtue Hall. At the same time, he became their chief researcher!
He was really high-spirited then. It was a pity that his power was restricted in the Illustrious Virtue Hall. Eventually, he was poached by Huo Yuhao, and came to the Tang Sect.
However, Xuan Ziwen didn’t regret his choice at all. Ever since he had come to the Tang Sect, he had shown respect. At the same time, the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy didn’t skimp on providing him with all types of resources. Otherwise, how could he have become a Class 9 soul engineer in such a short period of time?
Although Xuan Ziwen knew that he wasn’t inferior to anyone else in terms of soul tool research, he was also very aware that his foundation in terms of his soul power cultivation was very poor. Initially, he had relied on all sorts of medicine to become a Soul Douluo. Before he reached Class 9, he believed that anyone with seven rings in the Tang Sect could easily defeat him if he didn’t use a soul tool.
Normally, he was very busy with work. He didn’t even have time to think about daily matters. Now that he finally had the time to rest, all types of thoughts ran through his mind. However, he was still very fixated on Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao was going faster and faster. From his initial unfamiliarity, he slowly regained the feeling of making a soul tool. Even he himself was delightfully surprised by that.
