FE-Chapter 68: Life Without a Brother-in-Law Is Too Hard (2600 words)

After Huo Yuhao agreed, Juzi picked up the chainsaw sword and held it in her hand, her thin-framed glasses sliding down a little from her delicate nose.

She was so surprised that she kept her mouth shut for several seconds.

"Junior Yuhao, I have always heard Teacher Xuan talk about your creativity, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. This combination of chainsaw and sword is indeed very novel."

A new light flashed in Juzi's eyes under her glasses, and she couldn't help but sigh softly: "Teacher Xuan gave you such a high evaluation..."

"I thought you were a little inferior to Teacher Xuan, but I didn't expect you to be able to make such a special melee soul guidance device at will. It seems that your creativity is on par with Teacher Xuan!"

Juzi said happily, looking at the chainsaw sword in her hand, shocked by Huo Yuhao's qualifications.

When she saw the chainsaw sword for the first time, her quick thinking made her subconsciously consider its perceived flaws.

The saw teeth were scattered and not fixed, with a small gap between each tooth. Moreover, the high-speed moving chain would cause the force point to be unstable, and the cutting force of the loose saw teeth could not be concentrated.

However, after Huo Yuhao's explanation, combined with her understanding, she found that these perceived defects could be solved.

First of all, the core magic array engraved by Huo Yuhao has a main function similar to that of a booster pump, which allows the chain teeth to remain relatively stable while rotating.

Secondly, the titanium he used to make the chainsaw sword has very high strength and hardness. When the chain rotates at high speed, the teeth will naturally produce powerful destructive power.

Huo Yuhao smiled: "Senior Juzi, the blades of ordinary melee soul guidance devices are fixed."

"If you want to exert a strong destructive force, you need to manually swing the blade while ensuring the quality of the blade itself."

"And the chainsaw sword can operate fully automatically, converting the high-speed rotation of the serrated blade into tearing and cutting capabilities, saving the effort used in the swinging process."

Huo Yuhao curled his lips slightly: "In this case, when fighting, gently place the chainsaw sword on the enemy and just push forward..."

Xuan Ziwen's tall and thin figure appeared behind the two of them. He looked at the chainsaw sword in Juzi's hand and couldn't help but adjust his shining glasses.

Listening to Huo Yuhao's narration and relying on his remarkable comprehension ability, he quickly understood the attack principle of the chainsaw sword.

"Juzi, I dare not say that the creativity of the teacher when he was young is on par with Yuhao's."

Xuan Ziwen smiled softly: "The fully automatic chainsaw sword made by Yuhao should be derived from the saw for sawing wood and has been highly advanced."

"The students in the school think that the scattered saw teeth cannot have enough sharpness, but they have never thought of converting it into tearing and cutting force through high-speed rotation."

However, it is understandable that ordinary metals cannot withstand the various energies released by extremely high rotation speeds if they have not been strengthened by hundreds of forgings.

The cutting force generated by the blades of common melee soul guidance devices is more direct. The sharper the blade, the stronger the cutting force will be.

The chainsaw sword, which relies on the tearing force of saw teeth and involves energy conversion, is a thankless weapon in the students' view unless the quality of the metal is sufficient to support long-term, high-intensity fully automatic operation.

Wang Shaojie came over and showed admiration: "Brother Huo, after seeing the soul guidance device you made with my own eyes, I realized that Mr. Xuan's praise for you was still implicit."

"Let's not talk about your grenade gun, brother Huo; just today's small idea of the chainsaw sword has opened up a big gap with ordinary geniuses, and the difference is obvious."

Wang Shaojie, who was flattering, didn't know whether he understood the chainsaw sword or not, but he indicated that Huo Yuhao easily surpassed ordinary geniuses.

It can be seen that he genuinely wanted to hold on to this new source of support.

Keke leaned her delicate face close to Juzi, curiosity shining in her eyes, and couldn't help muttering: "What is its actual effect..."

Juzi asked curiously, "Yuhao, can I try the power of the chainsaw sword?"

Huo Yuhao readily agreed.

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Orange tightly grasped the chainsaw sword, infusing a trace of soul power into it, and a strange light flashed across all the serrated blades.

The next moment, the metal chain of the chainsaw sword caused the serrated blade to rotate at high speed, faintly forming a thin layer of airwaves.

"It doesn't look very useful." Keke looked at the automatically running chainsaw sword and felt eager to use it to cut something.

"It's okay." Huo Yuhao smacked his lips. In fact, without the support of the core magic array, it would be like a soul-power version of a chainsaw.

The destructive power of ordinary electric saws is not high and can be easily restrained by silk fibers and similar materials.

Moreover, the teeth of the chainsaw can easily get stuck. The reason why a chainsaw is so destructive is largely due to its dense teeth and the harsh roar when it is started.

The dense saw teeth and harsh roar create a strong intimidating effect, making people lose the courage to fight back.

The flying blood and flesh after hitting the target provide a strong visual effect enough to stimulate the senses.

If you can overcome your fear and deal with an ordinary electric saw, perhaps a thicker quilt could be sufficient to control the electric saw.

Physical damage: 9, mental damage: 99.

The essence of the chainsaw sword is a sword, and its attack method is the chain teeth. By combining the sharpness of the sword, it will not be limited by silk fibers.

Juzi took out an orange that she had transformed using soul power: "Brother Yuhao, don't be fooled by its appearance of an orange; it is a soul guidance shield."

Then she held the chainsaw sword and gently placed it on the metal orange.

The high-speed rotating serrated blade came into contact with the tangerine, and fine metal chips flew everywhere. The soul guidance shield released by the Orange was quickly shattered and cut in half.

Wang Shaojie saw the performance of the chainsaw sword and exclaimed that it was amazing: "Brother Huo, the movement of the chainsaw sword can cause a mental blow to the opponent before it hits the enemy."

Huo Yuhao smiled: "Senior, in fact, according to this statement, enlarging the caliber of the soul guidance device can also scare some people."

Wang Shaojie rubbed his hands together: "Hehe, I understand. Brother Huo, your grenade gun has a large caliber. Let me see it with my own eyes someday."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly without clarifying and then everyone discussed it with great interest for a while and continued to practice engraving their core arrays.

Xuan Ziwen took out a soul guidance screen, asked Huo Yuhao to take out the grenade gun, and uploaded the data of the chainsaw sword.

As a result, on the Soul Guidance Device Creativity List, Huo Yuhao's character portrait was changed to an image of a man with a grenade launcher in one hand and a chainsaw sword in the other, making him look much more domineering.

A few hours later, Jia Xu knocked on the door and walked into the laboratory with Xuan Ziwen's consent.

Jia Xu looked at the soul guidance device screen in his hand and chuckled, "Xuan Ziwen, I see Yuhao has made a new soul guidance device. It's so efficient."

Then he quickly locked onto Huo Yuhao's experimental table and walked over.

Jia Xu took the chainsaw sword handed to him by Huo Yuhao and looked at it carefully. He couldn't help but nod; it was indeed quite creative.

Huo Yuhao felt that Jia Xu's thinking was also very broad. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Teacher Jia, the soul guidance technology of Illustrious Virtue Hall is so advanced. Is there any soul guidance missile that is small in size and can be ambushed in advance to achieve a surprise victory?"

Jia Xu's face became serious, and he said, "Yuhao, do you know that we in Illustrious Virtue Hall are all serious soul guidance devices?"

"So?"

"You have to ask this question in a low voice."

Huo Yuhao said, "Oh." Worthy of being the teacher Jia Xu, who is serious about his profession without being overly formal—it's just right.

He whispered, "So, Teacher Jia, do we have this kind of soul guidance device?"

Jia Xu smiled slightly, flipped his right hand lightly, took out a metal device as thick as a thumb, and whispered:

"Yuhao, this soul guidance device is called a timed soul guidance device high-explosive shotgun. Don't underestimate it because it is small. It contains multiple granular micro soul missiles. Once detonated, the destructive power in a small range is terrifying."

Huo Yuhao nodded, indicating that this was a good thing, and it seemed that Teacher Jia Xu could make it.

...

Xuan Ziwen's Laboratory, Downstairs.

After class, Xiao Hongchen looked annoyed and unhappy.

"Ah, without Yuhao's mental detection to assist me in firing, I feel so suffocated and unhappy."

"Hehe, I knew you couldn't hold back your laughter at first."

Meng Hongchen covered her mouth and chuckled: "Brother, I see that when Yuhao was taken to the laboratory by Teacher Xuan, you mentioned him so many times."

Xiao Hongchen hugged his shoulders and snorted but didn't refute, looking at his sister with burning eyes instead.

"Meng, since you don't want to miss Yuhao while practicing martial arts fusion skills, then it's decided that you should go and catch Yuhao."

Meng Hongchen smiled sweetly: "Brother, Yuhao and I can practice every night; why should I be in such a hurry?"

After a lot of arguing, the brother and sister still couldn't decide who would catch Huo Yuhao.

Xiao Hongchen quickly thought of a solution. He took out a gold soul coin and threw it into the air, making it spin rapidly without relying on soul power at all.

With a "pop" sound, the gold soul coin fell to the ground, and Xiao Hongchen looked down.

"Meng, it seems that this is God's will. You go and catch Yuhao," he said.

Meng Hongchen blinked her eyes: "I'm laughing at you for not following the rules. Let's do it again."

The two of them tossed another round of gold soul coins.

Back side.

"Meng, accept your fate. It's you who has to capture Yuhao again." Xiao Hongchen said seriously.

Meng Hongchen was slightly puzzled: "That's not right, Xiao. Why do I have to go on both the front and back sides? Although it's okay for me to go, I just want to know, under what circumstances will you go?"

Xiao Hongchen said calmly: "Of course when the gold soul coin stands upright."

"Meng, think about it. There are only two possibilities after the gold soul coin falls to the ground: landing flat and standing upright. The probability for both of us is 1/2, and I didn't cheat you."

Meng Hongchen snorted lightly: "It's not that I don't want to go. Is it necessary to play a childish game? Xiao, you are still cheating, aren't you?"

Xiao Hongchen saw his sister agree and used a bright smile to cover up his embarrassment.

Well, there is no other way. He can't live a day without his brother-in-law.

A few minutes later, Miss Meng personally took action and quickly rescued Huo Yuhao from Xuan Ziwen's laboratory.

Juzi and Keke looked at Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen walking side by side in the corridor outside the laboratory. Their conversation was quite friendly and harmonious.

The two felt their teeth ache again as they watched, and Juzi was pinching the orange transformed by the soul skill.

"Keke, not long after class, Meng Hongchen came to find Huo Yuhao and said that they wanted to do some kind of training. What kind of training is so urgent..."

Keke said sourly: "Huh, who knows? Miss Meng and Huo Yuhao have such a good relationship, and Huo Yuhao looks submissive and seems to have a soft personality. Who knows how Miss Meng will act."

When the two thought of this, they felt indescribable sadness in their hearts. It was like a little boy who had just discovered a treasure but knew it had already been found by a rich woman who could ask the other party to hand over the treasure at any moment.

Downstairs in the experimental building, Xiao Hongchen saw his sister bringing Huo Yuhao out. He walked up to him excitedly, put his arm around his shoulders, and said with a little emotion:

"Yuhao, without your spiritual detection, I don't have the energy to condense the soul cannon. I always feel like something is missing. Let's go to the soul guidance device test field and quickly put the spiritual detection in so that I can feel good."

From then on, Huo Yuhao's life was quite fulfilling.

In the morning, he left Illustrious Virtue Hall with Hongchen siblings to go to school. He took classes in Xuan Ziwen's laboratory. During his spare time at noon and in the afternoon, he cooperated with Xiao Hongchen to fire some cannons. In the evening, he practiced the martial soul fusion technique with Meng Hongchen and worked on battle armor design drawings.

Soon, three months passed.

In Xuan Ziwen's laboratory, Huo Yuhao was preparing for the assessment of the second-level soul mentor.

Seeing Huo Yuhao wanting to upgrade the grenade gun into a second-level soul guidance device, Xuan Ziwen smiled and showed a thoughtful look.

"Yuhao, the level above the Hundred Forgings, which is what you call the Thousand Forgings, seems to have leaped forward all of a sudden."

Xuan Ziwen discovered that the strength of the metal used by Huo Yuhao to make the second-level grenade gun had been greatly improved based on the Hundred Forgings.

"Well, Mr. Xuan, you are right, but the metal I am using now has not reached the level of thousand-forged metal. It is just the accumulation of three or four times the qualitative change of hundred-forged metal." Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and engraved the second-level core magic array seriously. Thousand-forged metal can be used to make battle armor, which will usher in a qualitative change in level.

Shrek Academy.

In a single room in the boys' dormitory.

"Ah, I won't accept being defeated by their martial soul fusion skills! Why haven't my martial soul fusion skills appeared yet!!"

Wang Dong angrily pounded the quilt and said indignantly.

Not long ago, the first-year students held a freshman assessment. Wang Dong was so confident that she didn't even bother to study tactics. The team consisting of three students—she, Xiao Xiao, and Bai Yunli—won the assessment.

However, in the final, she was defeated by Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's spirit fusion skill, Netherworld White Tiger.

"Two sets of martial soul fusion skills appeared in the first-year freshman assessment this time."

Wang Dong felt a little unbalanced: "Why can't Xiao Xiao and I figure it out!"
