Reborn as Huo Yuhao, but also in Battle Through the Heavens

Chapter 115 Canaan Academy Upgrade Plan

Chapter 116 Canaan Academy Upgrade Plan

The next day, in the conference room.

"—That concludes the initial handling of the various allied forces in the Black Corner Region. Let's move on to the next topic!" Huo Yuhao's voice was calm as he concluded the discussion about the Black Corner Region.

The elders present, including Elder Bai and Wu Tian who had just returned, as well as Su Qian, Hu Qian, Elder Huo, and others who remained, all nodded slightly. Although they were somewhat apprehensive about Huo Yuhao's domineering and bizarre "soul contract" method, the outcome was undoubtedly the most advantageous for the academy at present.

"Next, if any of you have any proposals for the reconstruction of the academy, please feel free to speak."

"Chief, wouldn't it be better to rebuild it the original way?" The elders looked at each other, and one of them stood up and asked.

Huo Yuhao shook his head, tapping his fingertip on the smooth tabletop. A faintly glowing 3D projection, drawn purely with spiritual power, instantly appeared above the conference table. It was the central giant crater area, and the layout of the academy surrounding it.

"I have a plan for the reconstruction of the academy." Huo Yuhao's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible excitement.

The projection begins to change: the puddle gradually transforms into a clear lake. The core buildings, including the teaching area and canteen, are built on small islands in the lake, suspended above the water. Various rainbow bridges and corridors, like graceful jade ribbons, connect these islands.

The logistics elder stared wide-eyed at the projection: "This—Elder Huo, what is the meaning of this? What is the point of building the academy on water?"

"It's quite pretty, I think it's good!" Hu Qian laughed.

Huo Yuhao's gaze swept across the faces of the elders, finally settling on the simulated lake: "Do the elders still remember the central lake cultivation area we established before the academy's crisis? I've discovered that the energy hasn't completely dissipated; it's still contained within this lake."

With a flick of his finger, countless mysterious rune nodes lit up beneath the projected lake surface, forming a vast and complex aquamarine array. "I plan to use this lake as the core of the array, setting up several formations. By utilizing the ice-attribute energy within the lake, I will transform the area above the lake into an environment that accelerates cultivation."

The meeting room fell silent. The elders discussed amongst themselves. Huo Yuhao also stopped, giving the elders time to think.

"Chief, is this going to succeed?" an elder stood up and asked hesitantly.

"Alright." Huo Yuhao nodded. "Very well, elders, please vote!"

"I agree!" Elder Huo was the first to approve.

"agree!"

"I agree!"

Since it was Chief Elder Huo Yuhao's proposal, even some conservative and old-fashioned elders did not voice their opposition. Huo Yuhao's reconstruction plan was passed unanimously.

"However, the resources required for this floating building and such a large array are considerable—" An elder in charge of logistics looked troubled.

"There's no need to worry about that!" Wu Tian laughed heartily. "The forces in the Black Corner Region have provided a considerable amount of compensation."

Huo Yuhao didn't show much joy at the approval of the plan; it was just an appetizer in his "Canaan Academy Upgrade Plan".

Huo Yuhao tapped his finger again, and the mental projection above the conference table instantly changed, transforming into a thick stack of complex array structure diagrams that shimmered with a faint light and were so intricate they made one's scalp crawl!

"Defense array, early warning barrier, spatial interference array, and—" Huo Yuhao calmly introduced. The elders looked at the dense, celestial-like runes and energy circuits, and felt a wave of dizziness.

"Are we really that many arrays needed?" an elder couldn't help but ask, as Huo Yuhao projected more than ten different array diagrams!

"Better safe than sorry!" Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice, "We only need to set up three of each of these functional formations."

As for defensive formations, I think at least thirty need to be set up!

"This, so much!" The logistics elder exclaimed, staring at the array materials listed at the edge of the array diagram, his vision blurred.

Huo Yuhao explained, "There's no other way. The formations we can set up right now can only defend against attacks from Dou Huang level enemies. Against Dou Zong level and above enemies, we can only win by sheer numbers. We'll replace them with more powerful formations later."

"Will we have to change again?" The logistics elder stopped talking, clutching his heart, his face full of pain.

"Wait! Chief, the name of this formation is—Spirit Gathering Formation?!" Elder Qian suddenly stood up, leaned close to a formation diagram, and examined it carefully: "Could it be—"

"Gather the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and increase the concentration of primordial energy!" Huo Yuhao waved his hand to remove the other array diagrams, leaving only the array diagram of the Spirit Gathering Array on the table.

"There's actually such a formation? How is that possible!"

The entire conference room erupted in chaos! Everyone's attention was completely drawn to the "Spirit Gathering Array" blueprint. Compared to it, the other array diagrams seemed utterly insignificant!

Huo Yuhao watched the elders engrossed in their heated discussion and even debate, and a barely perceptible smile finally appeared on his lips. He cleared his throat, his voice not loud, but clearly drowning out all the noise: "Regarding the construction of the academy's array system, do any of you elders still have questions?"

Tempted by the Spirit Gathering Array, even the logistics elders agreed to Huo Yuhao's proposal and stopped worrying about resource consumption.

"Do any of you elders have further topics to discuss?"

After the meeting, Huo Yuhao assigned tasks to each elder. However, since Huo Yuhao was the only one in the entire academy who knew how to set up formations...

Therefore, Huo Yuhao still had to do most of the work himself.

"Vice Dean! Is there really not a single elder in the academy who knows how to set up an array?" Huo Yuhao leaned back in his seat, somewhat frustrated.

"This—there really isn't!" Hu Qian scratched his head awkwardly, feeling very embarrassed that the elders of Canaan Academy couldn't help him much.

"As expected, it still comes down to this—ah, I've got it!" Huo Yuhao, who was sighing, suddenly became excited, sat up straight, spread his mental energy, and connected with Hu Qian's consciousness.

[Shared Spirit!]

"Vice Dean, don't resist! Let me try to pass on my knowledge of formations to you directly!"

Huo Yuhao remembered that Yao Lao had once directly bestowed upon him and Xiao Yan a fighting technique.

After Hu Qian calmed his mind and prepared, Huo Yujia began to copy from her own memories. She summarized and packaged the array formation techniques she had learned and deduced since arriving on the Dou Qi Continent, and directly transmitted them into Hu Qian's soul through mental sharing.

"Ah!" A strong feeling of swelling filled Hu Gan's soul. Fortunately, there was only pain, and it did not damage his soul.

Soon, a wealth of knowledge about formations was imprinted into Hu Qian's soul, and he could never forget it.

"How is it?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"I've memorized it, but it's just rote memorization." Hu Qian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "How can it work without understanding? In this state, the success rate of setting up the formation will probably be extremely low!"

"In that case—" Huo Yuhao tapped his index finger on the table, then after a moment's thought, "I have another idea!"
