Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 145 Anyone with hands can do it!

After hearing Luo Chen's words, both Huo Yuhao and He Caitou showed a hint of helplessness on their faces.

However, they were helpless about it. After all, Luo Chen was a disciple who was personally approved by the deans of the two Soul Guidance Departments to study under Fan Yu. Even if Luo Chen caused any trouble in the Soul Guidance Department or did not act according to Fan Yu's instructions, they had no way to control him.

This is perhaps the difference between people; some are born into privilege, while others, even after a lifetime of hard work, remain mere laborers...

"Alright, then Junior Brother Luo, you can try it yourself first. If it really doesn't work, don't get stuck on it. Inscribing the soul core is the last step in making a soul tool, so it's normal if you can't complete it."

Clearly, in He Caitou's eyes, Luo Chen was already a foolish young man who didn't know his place, so he couldn't help but offer this advice.

However, this time Luo Chen did not explain. Instead, he looked at He Caitou in front of him and said:

"Senior Brother, I'd like to try inscribing a soul-guiding core array right now. Could you demonstrate it for me first? If so, I'd like to observe you inscribe it once before I try it myself..."

Even with Luo Chen's photographic memory and astonishing comprehension, it's impossible for him to create something from nothing without any prior accumulation.

He has only seen soul tools a few times in total, and without any systematic learning, the knowledge he has acquired through self-study is simply insufficient to support him in inscribing the core soul tool array.

Therefore, he had no choice but to consult He Caitou, who was the only Level 3 Soul Master present.

However, when He Caitou heard Luo Chen's request, his gaze inadvertently drifted to Huo Yuhao beside him, and then he smiled and said:

"Of course, that's fine. But I'm good at the practical use and creation of soul tools. My talent for inscribing the core array of soul tools is not as high as Yuhao's. So let Yuhao take on the task of inscribing the core array of soul tools."

"Don't underestimate Yuhao just because he's only a first-year student. In terms of experience in the field of soul guidance, he's far superior to me. Even though I've been learning soul tools from Teacher Fanyu for five years, I still can't match Yuhao's skill in inscribing the core array of soul guidance!"

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao nodded and readily accepted, then turned to Luo Chen beside him and said:

"Brother Luo, I'll first demonstrate how to inscribe the core magic array of a level-two soul tool. My movements will be a bit slow, so watch carefully. I'll pause at some of the details..."

However, Luo Chen shook his head and said:

"No need, just continue at the normal engraving speed, I can see it clearly."

"Well, okay..."

Seeing Luo Chen's confident demeanor, Huo Yuhao didn't insist. He was well aware of Luo Chen's talent, and since his elder brother had said so, he naturally couldn't refuse his brother's request.

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao led Luo Chen to a quieter place and brought over a few stools to sit down. However, Luo Chen did not choose to sit down and instead stood beside Huo Yuhao to watch.

"Brother Luo, I'll begin now."

After preparing the soul-guiding metal materials and the most basic soul-guiding engraving knife needed to inscribe the soul-guiding core array, Huo Yuhao first took a deep breath, and then spoke to Luo Chen, who was almost touching him.

"Um."

Luo Chen first glanced at the metal materials in his hand used to make the soul guide core array, as well as the seemingly ordinary metal carving knife, and then nodded.

It seems that the inscribed soul-guiding core array is indeed as he imagined. It is simply a matter of using a carving knife to inscribe "routes" on the metal material that can support the flow of soul power, in order to restrain and accelerate the flow of soul power.

The next moment, his idea was confirmed.

A golden light first appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes, followed by a purple aura that emerged from his pupils. A powerful surge of spiritual energy suddenly emanated from his body.

Luo Chen knew that Huo Yuhao had directly used his mental power to secretly release his mental detection ability, and also used the Purple Demon Eye to eliminate errors in details to a certain extent.

The mental detection power of a Soul King, combined with the Purple Demon Eye that is already close to the Mustard Seed Realm...

For a moment, Luo Chen's lips twitched. As expected of the chosen one, with this talent, let alone being placed in Shrek Academy, even in the Sun Moon Empire, he could still become a world-shaking powerhouse who could shake the continent!

However, Luo Chen noticed that his junior brother had a little habit when inscribing the soul guide core array. Although he didn't know if Huo Yuhao did it unintentionally, he first used his soul power to "sweep" the surface of the soul guide metal before making the first cut with great decisiveness.

"Is this to eliminate as many errors as possible when inscribing the soul-guiding core array?"

Although Luo Chen didn't understand the meaning of this action, he still kept it in mind and then continued to observe it.

Huo Yuhao moved quickly. In just a few seconds, a very special "pattern" was engraved on the soul guide metal in his hand. There were several fine and dense lines on it, some deep and some shallow.

However, the only thing they have in common is that these lines are all "connected". Each engraved line will connect from one line to another, and finally pass through a relatively larger line, so that it turns into the very center of the entire soul guide metal.

Luo Chen could clearly see the technique Huo Yuhao used when inscribing the core soul guidance array. He was 100% certain that it was the technique of dispelling hidden weapons. In order to ensure that his hand would not tremble or shift when inscribing the core soul guidance array, he even used the Xuan Yu Hand!

To depict a simple level-two soul guide core array, he actually used three Tang Sect secret techniques. He had to admit that Huo Yuhao had truly used the Tang Sect secret techniques to their fullest extent.

Just as Luo Chen was marveling at Huo Yuhao's talent, Huo Yuhao finally stopped what he was doing. He first let out a long breath, then smiled and said to Luo Chen beside him:

"I have successfully completed the task. Normally, it would take me at least half an hour to inscribe a soul-guiding core array like this. Perhaps it's because Brother Luo was here that I was able to complete it in just a quarter of an hour this time. Hehe."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao handed the already engraved soul guidance core array to Luo Chen in front of him.

Luo Chen didn't stand on ceremony. He first carefully examined it from all angles, and then poured his soul power into it without hesitation. He wanted to see what kind of changes would occur to the light blue soul guidance core array in front of him after the soul power was poured in.

Just as Luo Chen poured his soul power into the soul guidance core array in front of him, he suddenly felt that the array was emitting a strong suction force, sucking all the soul power he had poured in into it. And the next moment...

"Bang!"

It seemed that the absorbed soul power had reached a saturation point. A deep red beam of soul power instantly broke through the surface layer of the soul guidance core array and shot straight into the air from the soul guidance core array engraved on it!

"Wow, such powerful soul force!"

The moment the deep red pillar of soul power appeared, Huo Yuhao and He Caitou's expressions changed, and they both exclaimed in surprise.

As formal Soul Masters who have inscribed Soul Guidance Core Formations countless times, they naturally understand that the Soul Power emitted by the Soul Guidance Core Formation is closely related to the user's own cultivation level.

However, the scene before them was truly beyond their expectations. In their view, Luo Chen was at least at the level of a four-ring Soul Master, since he had never hidden his soul power fluctuations since entering the Soul Guidance System.

However, after truly witnessing the terrifying soul power that Luo Chen had infused, the two realized that their initial guess might have been wildly wrong...

The vivid, blood-red pillar of soul power before my eyes seemed impossible for a four-ring Soul Master to unleash. Even some senior Soul Masters within the Soul Guidance Department, with five or even six ring cultivation levels, had not produced such a powerful pillar of soul power after injecting their soul power...

After Luo Chen injected his soul power, the beam of soul power he emitted far exceeded that of these soul masters in terms of total soul power. What this means is self-evident!

"Junior Brother Luo, what's your soul power cultivation level?"

At this moment, He Caitou didn't care about saving face anymore and looked at Luo Chen with a face full of surprise, asking a question.

Even after studying soul tools in the Soul Guidance Department for so long, he was still stirred by the powerful pillar of soul power that Luo Chen emitted, which was approaching the power of his teacher.

The junior brother in front of him, who looked four or five years younger than him and was also a first-year student in the outer academy like Huo Yuhao, actually had a total soul power that was no less than that of a seven-ring Soul Saint!

However, the soul power he exuded was clearly at the level of a four-ring Soul Master. A four-ring Soul Master possessing the powerful soul power of a seven-ring Soul Saint...

For a moment, He Caitou was dumbfounded. Now he understood why Luo Chen was valued so much by the two deans of the Soul Guidance Department and why they specially arranged for him to study under Fan Yu.

With such a terrifying amount of soul power, even if one's own martial soul and soul skills are not that great, just by relying on this vast amount of soul power, one could crush batch after batch of four-ring soul masters of the same realm, right?

In other words, Luo Chen's ability to possess such formidable soul power cultivation at such a young age, along with an almost unbelievably large amount of soul power, already makes him a potential powerhouse.

With such powerful soul power, even if he casually unleashes a hundred-year soul skill, it would probably have a terrifying power no less than that of a full-force attack from a five-ring soul king!

With such incredible talent, why bother learning the Soul Guidance System? Even if he just blindly followed the Martial Soul System and did nothing else, he could probably at least become a Title Douluo-level powerhouse.

However, upon hearing He Caitou's surprised words, Luo Chen seemed to sense his thoughts and couldn't help but explain:

"Senior Brother, my martial soul is a bit special. My soul power cultivation speed is several times that of ordinary people, and my total soul power is also several times greater than that of soul masters at the same level. Therefore, I cannot be compared with ordinary soul masters..."

Luo Chen didn't explain in great detail, but only gave a general description of his situation. After all, he and He Caitou had only just met. The reason he explained it this way was to take care of Huo Yuhao who was standing next to him.

He would never tell anyone the true nature of his own martial soul; at most, he would only reveal some of the additional abilities of his martial soul.

"..."

However, Luo Chen's explanation only fueled He Cai's wild imagination, leading her to speculate even more wildly about the real reason he had come to the Soul Guidance Department.

Given such formidable talent in the Martial Soul system, why would someone forgo the bright and easy path and insist on switching to the exceptionally difficult Soul Guidance system? Is it really because they want to switch to the Soul Guidance system?

Moreover, the other party's enrollment in the Soul Guidance Department and becoming a junior disciple of his teacher was personally received by the two deans of the Soul Guidance Department...

For a moment, He Caitou, who was usually carefree, fell completely silent. He didn't know how to express his feelings at this moment. Even after entering Shrek Academy for so many years, this was the first time he had seen a genius with such strong talent in martial soul!

However, Huo Yuhao, standing to the side, didn't think so much as He Caitou did. After all, he already knew about Luo Chen's inhuman talent. After marveling at how Luo Chen's monstrous talent had increased again, he asked Luo Chen the next moment:

"Brother Luo, did you remember the route I used to inscribe the soul-guiding core array? Do you need me to inscribe it again?"

Although Huo Yuhao had no doubt about Luo Chen's talent, he was also well aware of the difficulty of completely memorizing the process of inscribing the core soul guidance array. Every stroke made when inscribing the core soul guidance array was carefully considered.

Hundreds or even thousands of engraved patterns converge perfectly together, each capable of bearing the flow of soul power. This is what allows the Soul Guiding Core Array to truly function, and it is also the most difficult aspect of engraving the Soul Guiding Core Array!

However, in response to Huo Yuhao's question, Luo Chen simply nodded slightly.

"Yeah, you can do it with your hands."
