Chapter 576: Huo Yuhao's Assistance
Because of this, he didn't need to remain in seclusion for long. In just three days, he had fully absorbed the medicinal power of the Heavenly Creation Pill. Of course, a portion of the pill's energy had pushed him to the bottleneck at Rank 80, but an even greater amount had been converted into latent soul power. Once he advanced to Soul Douluo, this latent soul power would immediately accelerate his level progression.
Soon, he arrived at the Third Laboratory, where Kong Deming, Jing Hongchen, and Xuan Ziwen were still in seclusion.
Using his Spiritual Detection Soul Skill, Huo Yuhao briefly examined their conditions. He noticed that all three had furrowed brows and slightly labored breathing, clearly struggling against the overwhelming medicinal power of the pill.
It wasn't that the Heavenly Creation Pill was dangerous enough to harm or kill them at their level, such an event was nearly impossible.
However, the unruly and dominant medicinal energy was rampaging through their meridians like a wild beast, drastically lowering their absorption efficiency.
Furthermore, Kong Deming was a Super Douluo, while the other two were Titled Douluo. Advancing at their level was already extremely difficult, and with the uncontrollable medicinal energy, the challenge only became even greater.
In the original story, Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and Xian Lin'er had entered seclusion for a full year and a half just to break through their soul power bottlenecks after consuming the Heavenly Creation Pill.
From Huo Yuhao's perspective, Xuan Zi had likely absorbed the majority of the pill's power, while Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er received lesser portions.
After all, if Xuan Zi could break through to Rank 99, it would have been a huge victory for Shrek Academy, helping them recover from their decline due to lacking an Ultimate Douluo.
Despite Xuan Zi's past mistakes, Shrek Academy had no choice but to prioritize his breakthrough because he was the only Rank 98 Super Douluo they had at the time.
Under normal circumstances, advancing from Rank 95 to Rank 96 should have been much easier than going from Rank 98 to Rank 99, meaning Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er should have exited seclusion much earlier.
Yet, all three emerged at the same time, something that wouldn't have happened if they had evenly shared the pill's medicinal power.
"I'll have to suppress their medicinal energy with my divine consciousness," Huo Yuhao thought.
"If I can stabilize it, they'll absorb it far more efficiently. The Heavenly Creation Pill's power is essentially the refined essence of countless immortal herbs it's incredibly potent. Only someone with a higher level existence can suppress it."
His ice blue eyes flickered, and divine fire surged within him.
With unstoppable force, his divine consciousness swept into their bodies, instantly taming the rampaging medicinal energy and making it gentler and easier to absorb.
Their furrowed brows relaxed, their breathing stabilized, and their absorption efficiency increased dramatically.
To Huo Yuhao, this was perfectly natural.
After all, in the original story, Huo Yuhao had been able to suppress the pill's intense medicinal power using his Hao Dong Power.
But now, he wasn't just using Hao Dong Power he was using divine consciousness.
Given that Tang Wutong possessed Sea God bloodline, and Huo Yuhao had received a divine seed from Rong Nianbing, his Hao Dong Power naturally carried divine properties.
That was why it had been able to suppress the overwhelming medicinal power in the original story.
Time passed swiftly.
Ten Days Later
Huo Yuhao, Xuan Ziwen, and Jing Hongchen stood outside the seclusion chamber, using Shared Spiritual Detection to observe Kong Deming's condition.
At that moment, Kong Deming's eyelids trembled, and his soul power surged like crashing waves, creating massive fluctuations.
If not for the Third Laboratory's protective soul barrier, his immense aura would have shaken the entire academy.
Beside him, Xuan Ziwen looked visibly stronger, his energy more vigorous than before.
Five days ago, he had successfully exited seclusion, having broken through to Rank 95.
He had also expelled a large amount of impurities, cleansing his body and eliminating old hidden injuries.
This was excellent news for him.
After all, it meant that he now had a genuine chance to become a Rank 10 Soul Engineer.
As a brilliant mind in soul tool research, his talent was undeniable.
Nearby, Jing Hongchen paced anxiously, looking as restless as an ant on a hot pan.
"I really hope Kong Lao can leave seclusion today," he muttered, walking back and forth.
"His Majesty keeps pressuring me, asking when Kong Lao will be available. If he can come out today, maybe the Emperor will stop sending people to pester me."
Seven days ago, Jing Hongchen had exited seclusion, his soul power advancing to Rank 96, officially making him a Super Douluo.
His strength had greatly improved, though he still hadn't reached Rank 10 as a Soul Engineer.
However, if he made further progress in soul tool mastery, he could very well achieve it soon.
Right after he left seclusion, Xu Tianran had immediately sent word, requesting to meet with Kong Deming for an important discussion.
Jing Hongchen had no idea what Xu Tianran wanted, but he knew this wasn't the time to interrupt Kong Deming's seclusion.
Thus, he had delayed the meeting, citing that Kong Deming needed more time but would be available soon.
After all, Kong Deming wasn't trying to break through to Ultimate Douluo his seclusion wouldn't last years.
Jing Hongchen assumed that since his own seclusion lasted seven days, Kong Deming's would only be slightly longer.
Xu Tianran believed his words without question but had still been sending people to check on Kong Deming's status every single day.
"It's as if nothing can get done without Kong Lao," Jing Hongchen grumbled.
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly.
"Dean, based on my observations, Kong Lao should be exiting seclusion soon."
His divine consciousness was strong enough to precisely monitor Kong Deming's soul power flow.
Jing Hongchen let out a sigh of relief.
"If you say so, Yuhao, then I can rest easy."
During his own seclusion, he hadn't been completely unaware of his surroundings.
At first, when he consumed the Heavenly Creation Pill, he had struggled with its overwhelming power.
But then, a powerful spiritual force had suddenly appeared, helping him stabilize the energy, allowing him to absorb it smoothly.
Later, he learned from Huo Yuhao that the mysterious spiritual force had actually been Huo Yuhao's divine consciousness.
This realization stunned him deeply.
Huo Yuhao's spiritual power was already so profound that he could intervene in another person's absorption process?
Even among Legendary Soul Masters, such an ability was virtually unheard of!
It was at that moment that Jing Hongchen fully understood
Huo Yuhao wasn't just a genius.
He was a true monster among monsters.
And as Kong Deming's aura surged to its peak, everyone knew
The strongest Soul Engineer in the Sun Moon Empire was finally about to step out of seclusion.
