Chapter 456.1 - The Experiment Fails? (1/2)

The funnel’s volume and rotation speed were also increasingly continuously along with its soul power. Its gravitational force became stronger as it became larger, and even the stones and sand around it were being pulled in its direction. However, it was immediately ground to dust by the powerful soul power.

The space around the tiny funnel slowly began to contort even more. Its volume was still increasing as it spun, but its rotation seemed a little irregular, while the funnel itself was no longer stable. It was trembling faintly.

I’m losing control!

An ominous feeling surfaced in Huo Yuhao’s heart as he pounced behind a small hill on the side.

“Boom, boom, boom—” Intense explosions could be heard as a vigorous air flow rushed over his head. The soundwaves were deafening as intense soul power undulations erupted in all directions. However, everything settled down very quickly.

Huo Yuhao looked up at where the funnel was before, and he could see an enormous crater that was thirty meters in diameter and more than ten meters deep. A hurricane seemed to have swept over the large crater, and he could see many marks like blade cuts around it.

This…

Huo Yuhao, even with his full strength, couldn’t do any better.

However, he didn’t even use ten percent of his soul power.

High-speed rotation and compression were undoubtedly the reasons why the tiny funnel had become so strong. However, the funnel became very unstable when he lost control of it.

There were clear spatial undulations and contortions around the funnel. However, there was a clear gap between that and the Beast God’s black holes. That was probably because he didn’t have enough soul power.

It was no wonder the Beast God was so formidable – he had stored so much soul power in that state in his body. It would be a surprise if he wasn’t that frighteningly powerful.

Huo Yuhao understood that controlling such power was far too difficult with his current strength. However, understanding and experiencing the principles concerning this was very beneficial for his future cultivation, so that he didn’t take any long roads.

He decided to stop experimenting, because he wasn’t sure whether he could distance himself from the pull of the funnel using Instant Teleportation if the funnel became stronger than before. What would happen if he couldn’t? That meant he could only detonate it prematurely. Otherwise, the ultimate result would be that his soul power would be sucked dry, or perhaps the funnel would swallow everything. The funnel would increase to an even more frightening state before a tremendous explosion would be triggered.

Huo Yuhao had already observed and learned a lot today. As for his next experiment, he felt that it would be a lot safer if he attempted it after he had returned to the academy.

Huo Yuhao rushed back to the army camp. The explosion from before was quite loud, but the army camp was ultimately relatively far away, while he had also chosen a valley in the mountains. That was the reason why nothing much happened in the army camp.

He silently snuck back to his own tent, but was startled when he lifted his curtain because there was actually someone else in his tent.

Tang Wutong was frowning as she stood in the center of the tent and asked as he walked in, “Where did you go?”

Huo Yuhao hesitated momentarily as he stammered, “I went to the toilet!”

Tang Wutong retorted angrily. “Do you need to spend one hour on the toilet?”

“I have constipation…” Huo Yuhao answered feebly.

“You!” Tang Wutong grunted furiously as she turned to leave.

“Hey, how did you know I wasn’t in my tent?” Huo Yuhao asked subconsciously.

Tang Wutong had already stomped to the entrance of his tent. She paused and replied, “I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I decided to visit you tonight, and discovered that you weren’t here anymore. Where did you go?”

Huo Yuhao could tell that her voice was softening, and Dong’er’s beautiful face surfaced in his mind once more. His heart softened as he spoke the truth, “I went to experiment with a method of controlling soul power. It wasn’t very convenient to do it inside the army camp, so I decided to go outside.”

Tang Wutong turned around and stared at him in shock. “Your body is already like that – why are you still doing experiments? What if something happened? Couldn’t you have just waited for two more days?”
