--- Chapter 408 ---
Huo Yuhao slowly leaned on the mangrove tree and started learning the [Obsidian's Sea Chapter] again. He has enough mastery in the Law of Space and Water but couldn't get his head into this Law of Molding.
Molding means to shape something. Nevertheless, it can't be that simple because [Obsidian Sea's Chapter] encapsulates the essence of the vast sea.
Molding might mean to shape the sea in one's image and use it to protect others.
Or to shape the sea literally, starting from one drop of water?
Huo Yuhao rubbed his forehead and mumbled, "Let's try it one by one first."
"What I need is more practical experience."
"If I can't put my idea into work, it would be useless."
After saying that, Huo Yuhao began to simulate [Obsidian Sea's Chapter] in Mirror Dimension. He layered the Law of Space and Water before slowly molding them into a droplet of black water.
BOOM!
When the droplet formed, a massive explosion occurred, razing the Mirror Dimension to nothingness. If this explosion happened in the real world, the entire mangrove forest would disappear instantly.
In the void, Zoey smirked because Huo Yuhao's idea of [Obsidian Sea's Chapter] was not far from the truth. She just hoped he listened to her advice earlier.
"I will give him 2/100 for the effort." She commented lightly.
"Let's see how far he could get in ten hours."
Huo Yuhao looked down at the handful of dust on his palm, the fragments of the destroyed Mirror Dimension. "Okay, that was a failure..."
"Again."
For the next ten hours, Huo Yuhao failed one after another.
However, Huo Yuhao wasn't discouraged. Although he couldn't condense a droplet of Obsidian Sea even once in the last ten hours, he could tell he was an inch away from success.
The [Law of Molding] is soon within Huo Yuhao's grasp. He only needed a chance to understand it completely.
When Huo Yuhao reaches the entry mastery of [Law of Molding], he can use Evo's help to upgrade his mastery to peak level. Cheating feels good when you put effort into it.
Huo Yuhao could have consumed Devil Fruit with powers related to [Law of Molding], but such fruits are mostly Paramecia-type, which can be hit and miss. Of course, this doesn't mean there are no Zoan or Logia-type Devil Fruit with this concept.
'Actually, I can help you with learning this Secret Arts.' A voice suddenly appeared in Huo Yuhao's mind. It was none other than the Primeval Wave White Tiger Spirit.
'Kitty, I thought we agreed not to bother each other?' Huo Yuhao frowned slightly.
'WHO THE HELL IS KITTY, YOU LITTLE SHI-!' An angered roar echoed from the depth of Huo Yuhao's consciousness.
'Tch, forget it. Do you want to make a deal or not?'
'At this rate, you wouldn't be able to finish your damn quest.'
'Tell me your side of the deal first.' Huo Yuhao said casually.
The Primeval Wave White Tiger, Hosin, was on the verge of throwing a tantrum against this disrespectful kid. However, he suppressed his emotion and said, 'I want to form an equal Spiritual Contract with you.'
'Like Spirit Soul? Nah, I don't like having a dude in my head.' Huo Yuhao snorted. 'I barely tolerate your existence, Kitty.'
A vein popped on Hosin's head at the moment. He felt like he was going to explode now. If that lost mantle didn't need Huo Yuhao as an inheritor, Hosin would have killed this kid.
'Damn it!' Hoshin lashed out. 'You have eaten Primeval Wave White Tiger's Fruit and even experienced a trial of my primordial realm. Don't forget that Everblue Wave Undying Tiger's bloodline was born with my help!'
'Fine...' Huo Yuhao clicked his tongue. He was a little grateful for Hosin's help.
Hosin sighed, 'No, it's not like Spirit Soul. After all, none of your Martial Soul is suitable to host me.'
'The contract I want to make with you is [Enhancement's Spiritual Contract] like those Sacred Gears with souls from another world.'
'You used Sacred Gear because it was easier to explain, right?' Huo Yuhao commented.
'Yes.' Hosin admitted it without a problem.
Huo Yuhao pondered for a bit before agreeing with Hosin's terms, but he also added a clause that Hoshin couldn't come out without his consent.
'No problem. It's not like this lower dimension could afford to hold my presence anyway.' Hosin arrogantly stated.
'Well, let's start the contract...'
Huo Yuhao paused, 'Wait, you haven't told me how to learn [Obsidian Sea's Chapter] quickly.'
'I can tell you after we form a contract.' Hosin said slowly. 'It's not like I can run anywhere.'
'Don't worry. I might be annoying in your eyes, but a liar? No, I won't lie with my life on the line.'
Huo Yuhao frowned and responded calmly, 'Then, let's see how you can surprise me, Kitty.'
Hosin laughed, 'Good! Good!'
'Yuhao, take out the Unknown Armor Piece you got after completing my trial. Then, equip the Unknown Robe from the same treasure box you found the Primeval Devil Fruit.'
'Are you sure? Zoey is still monitoring us in the void?' Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes. Although he's sure Zoey wouldn't dare to offend him because of his talents, that doesn't mean she wouldn't do so if greed comes into the equation.
'That little girl?' Hosin remarked. 'She wouldn't be able to tell the quality of [Unknown Robe] and [Armor Piece]. At most, she would find them interesting toys from lower dimensions.'
'Don't forget that your 'actual' talent and attainments are 'perfectly' covered by the Tier 1 Omniversal Being.
'Tier 1 is beyond this little girl's reach. Heck! She's not even worthy to step into Tier 3.'
'Hehe, this little girl probably doesn't know how scary you are.' The Tiger Spirit laughed audaciously.
Huo Yuhao nodded in understanding, "Okay, then. We can start immediately."
After preparing himself a bit, Huo Yuhao equipped the [Unknown Robe] and brought the [Armor Piece], which Hosin shot with his spirit and merged quickly.
Huo Yuhao felt a searing heat in his arms as two silverish-white gauntlets with a tiger's head carving and sharp finger armor covered them.
The gauntlets looked a bit like Boosted Gear, but instead of a green gem, it was a domineering tiger's eyes densely covered with unknown runes, which actually seals the gauntlets' true power.
Huo Yuhao clenched his hands and unclenched them, "Hmm, not bad pairs."
'Of course, it cheers my spirit. How can it be shabby?!' Hosin snorted angrily.
[Name: Primeval Wave White Tiger's Gauntlets, Hosin's Dominion]
[Type: Armor/Gauntlets]
[Grade: Gradeless (Approximately, ZZZ-Grade)]
[Innate Skills: Primeval Wave White Tiger's Law of Dominion, Lone Beast's Transformation, Man-Beast's Transformation, Dominion over Heaven and Earth, Break Galaxy Dawn Armor's Fusion (Incomplete)]
[Description: A pair of gauntlets that hosted Primeval Wave White Tiger's Spirit, Hosin. These gauntlets held a terrifying power that could destroy all creations with extreme dominion. Be careful when using them, or you will become an unrecognizable beast]
[Contracted: Huo Yuhao]
In the void, Zoey stared at Huo Yuhao with a puzzled look.
Why did this fellow suddenly stop learning and play around with a pair of toys instead?
Huo Yuhao unequiped the [Unknown Robe] and [Hosin's Dominion] and then asked, "Well, can you tell me about the 'method' now?"
"It's easy," Hosin replied casually. "Just learn Fish-Man Karate, Search for Devil Fruit with Space and Molding Ability."
"..." Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao summoned [Hosin's Dominion] again. But this time, he ejected a terrifying Blue Wave that could create a strong disturbance in reality, which allowed him to break the gauntlets apart and erase them from existence.
In fact, this is one of Everblue Wave Undying Tiger's bloodline abilities, Blue Wave.
"Hold up! Chill! Chill, Yuhao! I'm just joking!" Hosin broke into cold sweats because Huo Yuhao really wanted to destroy him. Those cold, blue eyes aren't playing any games.
Damn, kids these days can't take a joke at all.
Hosin coughed, "Ehem, let me rephrase my words."
"Fish-Man Karate's principle is water manipulation, which was in line with [Obsidian Sea's Chapter] because this Martial Art revolved around ocean-domain advantage. You will discover a decent surprise if you merge with your Martial Arts."
"Space-based Devil Fruit should exist in this world, each with unique concepts of spatial ability. I could already see two Devil Fruits, which could create doors that fold two distances and manipulate space by layering them."
"Two of them are good for you."
"Last but not least, Devil Fruit with strong "Concept of Molding" is indeed rare, but you can fuse weak ones with your [Timeless Order] and create a Devil Fruit with desired abilities."
"Good news for you, two devil fruits with a decent "Concept of Molding" are approaching Elwood as we speak."
"People from the Ryugu Kingdom?" Huo Yuhao mumbled after using future sights.
"Exactly!" Hosin replied with a hint of excitement.
"So, please... Please don't use Blue Wave on me."
"Hmph, you're on first strike." Huo Yuhao harrumphed.
"Two more strikes, and you're gone, Kitty."
"..." Hosin.
