Chapter 195: The Rise of Yuan Huo
"It’s over! The barriers have formed a huge mosaic; we can’t see Yi Chen!"
"I suddenly feel that life has lost all its fun."
"Looking at the giant mosaic makes my heart feel empty."
"I can’t see what Yi Chen is doing. I don’t know if he’s creating skills or cultivating. I can’t figure out the type of skills he’s creating from his actions…"
The viewers in the live room felt extremely uncomfortable.
Usually, when Yi Chen cultivated or created new skills, his audience was not very large, mostly consisting of female viewers.
More viewers focused on the progress of those fake heavy criminals, curious about how they were developing.
But not wanting to watch is a different state from not being able to watch.
The number of people in the live room not only didn’t decrease; in fact, it strangely increased compared to usual.
It wasn’t until a few days later that the viewers’ spirits lifted slightly.
Their attention gradually shifted to the progress of those fake heavy criminals.
The Military’s suppression plan had officially been in effect for about three months after a month of preparation.
Those fake heavy criminals around the Flame Mountain Tribe were rapidly rising in a reasonable manner.
The main purpose of the "suppression plan" was to divert Yi Chen’s focus from enhancing his personal strength to increasing the average strength of his tribe members and top geniuses.
When implemented alongside the "Tuition Plan," it could both slow down the speed at which Yi Chen improved his personal strength, delaying him from reaching the level to cross space with his physical body.
It could also allow Yi Chen to create more new skills that could enhance the strength of his tribe members while speeding up the fifth round of skill teaching.
This was crucial to the core interests of the entire Federation of Humanity.
…
Life Planet A12516.
This was a life planet with a surface area of 1.25 billion square kilometers and a population of 5 billion.
The planet primarily focused on deep processing of minerals.
Various large factories were spread across the globe.
The birth of the weapon refining technique and the discovery of new uses for spirit mines had a tremendous impact on the mineral processing industry.
Even though Yi Chen had not yet taught the weapon refining technique, the entire industry was undergoing significant upheaval.
Some people were optimistic about the industry’s future, while others were pessimistic.
Throughout the galaxy, the mineral processing industry was busy transforming to face the crises and opportunities brought about by the popularization of weapon refining techniques.
The crisis was that spirit mine processing would eventually shift entirely to manual methods. As long as one learned the weapon refining technique, they could refine various spirit mines individually.
Mineral processing businesses without advantages faced elimination.
The opportunity was that the value of spirit mines would surge, and with the popularization of spiritual artifacts, the profits and scale of the spirit mine processing industry in the future would be unimaginably large.
In a villa, a young man with a dark expression, radiating an aura of sinister charm, suddenly finished his cultivation and opened his eyes.
It looked at the black stone hanging in front of its chest and spoke:
"Old Soul, I have a faint feeling that the heart tribulation is approaching."
"Then, are you going to pay the tuition, or directly challenge the heart tribulation that no one has ever broken through?"
Inside the black stone, an elderly voice filled with unique spiritual energy entered the young man’s mind, similar to a telepathic communication.
"What’s a mere heart tribulation! Of course, I will challenge it directly!"
A glint of determination and pride flashed in the young man’s eyes.
"This is the path of the strong!"
The elderly voice carried admiration.
Without hesitation, the young man resumed his training.
His name was Yuan Huo.
He had once been a petty thug, engaging in deceitful schemes, and living at the very bottom of society.
Yi Chen’s sudden emergence changed the fate of countless people.
However, he was not among them.
His talent could only be considered average.
But over four months ago, after he stole an unidentifiable black stone from the home of a childhood friend who kindly took him in, his fate began to change.
Within this black stone resided a lifeform that called itself Old Soul.
This Old Soul spoke of a powerful race called the Soul Clan, which once ruled the galaxy and was invincible within their star system.
And he was a king-level powerhouse of the Soul Clan.
After the Soul Clan faced an unpredictable and devastating blow, they slowly declined.
This Old Soul chose to refine countless precious treasures into a single artifact, hiding within it, waiting for the revival of the Soul Clan.
As a result, after over two hundred million years, the Soul Clan had long vanished.
Even though he used secret methods to remain in a long slumber, his soul had thoroughly withered and was on the verge of dissipating.
Therefore, he intended to nurture a powerful member of humanity to help him become the master of humanity and even the master of the star system, gathering resources to help him reshape his soul.
With the help of this Old Soul, the previously unremarkable Yuan Huo made astonishing progress in his training.
In just a few months, he advanced from the fifth level of Spirit Release, crossed into Spirit Law, and broke through to the Peak of the ninth level of Spirit Consciousness.
He won every bet he placed.
He could even avoid detection from scanners, ruthlessly retaliating against those who had once mocked and attacked him.
Wealth and status surged towards him.
Soon, the heart tribulation arrived.
Various illusions flooded Yuan Huo’s mind.
Sensing something, a mysterious energy surged from the black stone into Yuan Huo’s body.
In an instant, Yuan Huo was like a bamboo being split open; with a force that crushed all withered things, he effortlessly shattered each heart demon illusion.
Even Yi Chen’s illusions were shattered by his punch:
"I learned this by my own abilities, if you have the skills, come find me yourself!"
As the heart tribulation faded, an astounding power and aura erupted from Yuan Huo.
Heart Tribulation Stage One!
"I have transferred all my life’s talent into you. To you, heart tribulation is an insurmountable barrier in the eyes of the top geniuses of your Federation of Humanity. Before you, it means nothing."
A voice from within the black Small Stone came from the Old Soul: “To be honest, once you fully blend and digest my talent, even that Yi Chen’s cultivation talent will be far below yours.”
“It’s just that I lack his talent for creating skills. You are also not suited to practice our Soul Clan’s cultivation methods; in the end, you will still need to rely on him to create a higher realm of Chaos Technique to keep progressing.”
A flicker of resentment passed through Yuan Huo’s eyes.
“One day, I will capture him to specifically create all the skills I need.”
“I truly did not misjudge you; you indeed have the qualities of a ruler!”
The Old Soul’s voice carried satisfaction.
"Then, after I break through to Heart Tribulation Stage One, should I first acquire a batch of factories and enterprises? Further elevate my status and find ways to get close to the officials and high-ranking members?"
Yuan Huo asked.
"I have always relied on Absolute Strength to rise, so I have no experience in planning for the future or even offering suggestions; you will have to study and plan on your own."
The Old Soul’s voice echoed again.
"Let’s do that! While possessing great strength, you must also begin to cultivate your own influence."
Yuan Huo stood up, feeling confident in his plan.
What he did not know was that his plan was guided by the Old Soul.
Inside the black Small Stone lay a space of over a hundred square kilometers.
In this space, not only was there the Old Soul, but also over a dozen of his kin.
Their bodies were translucent and invisible to the naked eye.
In addition, there were countless jade boxes, stacked together, occupying most of the space.
There were over one hundred million of them.
Each jade box held a powerful member of the Soul Clan in slumber.
