Douluo: Double comparison, this Yuhao is too cruel!

**Chapter 26**

[So, in the following period of time, Huo Yuhao studied various theoretical knowledge very seriously.]

[He could almost be called the most diligent and studious student in the entire academy.]

[It goes without saying that he listened carefully in class; he also took a lot of time after class and school hours to visit the library and read various books.]

[He even made it a point not to miss the time to go home at night, often borrowing books from the library to bring home for careful study.]

[Whenever he encountered something he didn't understand, he would note it down and ask his teacher the following day.]

[In this way, although only half a year had passed, Huo Yuhao's knowledge reserves had greatly improved.]

[Even though he had entered school later than his classmates, his progress had far exceeded that of some seniors due to his tireless and intense study, making him a well-deserved academic master in his class.]

[His teachers in various subjects were also very satisfied with him. After all, which teacher doesn't appreciate diligent and studious students? Therefore, when Huo Yuhao asked them questions, they gladly answered all he wished to know.]

In the gap between the planes, everyone who witnessed Huo Yuhao's rapid growth on the screen was completely dumbfounded.

Especially the individuals from the Sun Moon Empire and the Sun Moon Royal Academy; the shock in their eyes was palpable.

Jing Hongchen: "Huo Yuhao in the parallel world is incredible. While I think Huo Yuhao in the original timeline is already impressive, the gap between him and Huo Yuhao in the parallel world is still too vast."

Xiao Hongchen: "Won't he tire of studying and practicing like this? Who can compete with him?"

Kong Deming: "That's why he is said to be terrifying. Have you noticed that even though Huo Yuhao in the original timeline seems so ordinary compared to Huo Yuhao in the parallel world, he is still one of the best geniuses in the entire Douluo Continent?"

"What about Huo Yuhao in this parallel world? How formidable will he become in the future? I can scarcely bear to think about it."

Kong Deming's eyes grew extremely solemn as he spoke.

Jing Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, and the others could not help but draw in a sharp breath.

Yes! If Huo Yuhao in the original timeline can be like that, how will Huo Yuhao in the parallel world grow in the future?

Will he be invincible across the entire Douluo Continent?

This is not a good thing for their Sun Moon Empire!

They looked back at the screen.

And at this moment, in the picture:

[One day, half a year later, Huo Yuhao finally chose his target for the first soul ring.]

[In the past six months, in addition to utilizing the knowledge he had learned, he consulted many reputable teachers from the academy.]

[He even consulted the school principal, winning two outstanding academic awards in the last half year and earning public praise from the principal. Afterward, he took the opportunity to ask the principal for advice.]

[Although the principal of their school wasn't a Titled Douluo, he was still a Soul Douluo and possessed considerable knowledge.]

[Thus, Huo Yuhao received some advice regarding his first soul ring from the principal.]

[Afterward, he used the wisdom he had gained to investigate the principal's suggestions. He also consulted many teachers from the Department of Psychology and read countless books, ultimately reaching a conclusion.]

[For his first soul ring, it was best to absorb a hidden beast as a soul ring.]

[Since it was only the first soul ring, he should prioritize functionality.]

[Currently, many soul masters on the Douluo Continent faced the problem of focusing solely on their immediate needs when selecting soul rings and lacked an overall plan.]

[The concerning trend among soul masters is that they often absorb soul rings without proper strategy, opting for whichever rings seem most effective at the moment.]

[But what happens in the later stages? It's often said there are eight rings and nine rings, but in reality, nearly half of the soul rings have overlapping functions or become completely useless as they advance.]

[Thus, very few soul rings stand out in practical use.]

[Why does this happen?]

[This issue stems mainly from the fact that the earlier a soul master absorbs their soul rings, the weaker their power tends to be since they have been absorbed for fewer years.]

[While such soul rings can indeed serve a purpose early on, as the soul master's strength grows, the effectiveness of these soul rings diminishes significantly over time.]

[For instance, the fourth soul skill generally proves stronger than the first soul skill, especially when both are offensive skills.]

[So why should soul masters continue to use the first soul skill at later stages? This renders the initial soul skill practically useless.]

[Huo Yuhao doesn't want the soul rings he absorbs to become mere decorations in the future.]

[Therefore, his strategy is to avoid overlapping functions in his soul rings and to try to select more functional soul rings during the early absorption period.]

[In doing so, when he becomes a Titled Douluo in the future, these functional soul rings obtained earlier can still play a significant role.]

[This is why Huo Yuhao chose the invisible beast.]

[This type of soul beast belongs to the spiritual system and excels at hiding. Huo Yuhao knows that if he can obtain a soul ring from this kind of soul beast, his first soul skill will likely be functional, granting him abilities similar to transformation and invisibility, which will remain useful regardless of his level in the future.]

After observing this scene, the soul masters in the gap between the planes stood in amazement, and discussions began to circulate.

Many of them shared this problem.

However, when they recognized the issue, they had already reached their sixth and seventh rings.

The more astute among them reached this realization by the fifth and fourth rings.

But it was still too late!

Because the soul rings that they had absorbed couldn't be changed.

Furthermore, even if they had taken a detour before—absorbing attack-type soul rings—they could not escape the homogenization of soul rings in the later stage.

Could they really make use of some functional soul rings later?

That would be a tremendous waste of talent!

Ma Xiaotao felt a similar frustration. She faced this dilemma too. Although she worshiped Yan Shaozhe as her master, the most egregious thing was her serious problem with homogenization among her soul rings. At that moment, she couldn't help but exclaim:

"Yuhao in the parallel world is so smart! I didn't recognize this problem until I was nearing the fifth ring, but he understood it from the very beginning. It seems that he won't stray from the right path."

Many low-level soul masters in the gap between the planes silently committed this knowledge to memory.

They hadn't understood it before, but now they did; they aimed to follow Huo Yuhao's insights moving forward.

Because of this, they felt immense gratitude toward Huo Yuhao at that moment.

"Brother Yuhao, you are a beacon guiding our progress!"
