Douluo Continent: A Man of Unparalleled Talent and Heaven-Defying Comprehension

Chapter 108 The New Task for Working People (Please Read On!!!)

Su Yu left Jing Hongchen's office.

The method has already been explained; whether Jing Hongchen can find a suitable method is no longer Su Yu's concern.

Besides, Huo Yuhao was actually capable of doing all of this on his own.

As a chosen one, his soul ring combination is definitely not going to be bad.

After all, the first ring's million-year duration has already been achieved, and with the Ice Emperor's torso bones modifying his physical body, the third ring's absorption of ten thousand years is more than enough.

Not to mention that Huo Yuhao himself did exactly that.

During the third stage, he actually absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

His soul power thus directly broke through to level thirty-four.

However, more than half a year after absorbing the spirit ring, he had only just leveled up.

Compared to Su Yu, the speed difference is quite significant.

The spirit ring did bring a significant boost to spirit power, but in regular cultivation, Su Yu widened the gap considerably.

This is also why Jing Hongchen asked Su Yu.

When Su Yu was at level 40, he could advance one level every three months. Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, only advanced for half a year, and that was only at the Soul Venerable stage.

Jing Hongchen is truly troubled.

Although Huo Yuhao was already a level 35 Soul Master at the age of thirteen, it was already quite extraordinary.

However, Su Yu has now raised Jing Hongchen's expectations.

In this generation of the Sun Moon Empire, there was Xiao Hongchen, who broke through to Soul King at the age of fifteen, and Su Yu, who broke through to Soul Emperor at the age of fourteen.

Huo Yuhao is a genius who can rival Su Yu, and Jing Hongchen has high expectations for him.

However, it now appears that a lack of foundational knowledge is extremely difficult to remedy.

Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul has great potential, but its current quality is too low.

With only a half-level innate soul power, and barely reaching the first ring at the age of eleven, his foundation was far inferior to Su Yu's.

When Su Yu first enrolled, he had already reached Huo Yuhao's current level.

"Second Awakening of the Original Martial Soul"

After Su Yu left, Jing Hongchen sat alone in her office, deep in thought.

The Mingde Hall and the Body Sect are enemies, but like Shrek Academy, their enmity is only conceptual.

Unfortunately, the reclusive nature of the Body Sect meant that it was rarely known to the public.

There is a lot of research on the Body Martial Soul in Mingde Hall, but it is definitely not as good as that of the Body Sect.

In particular, Mingde Hall knew nothing about many of the secret techniques of the Body Sect.

Jing Hongchen's eyes were narrowed to slits.

Noumenon Sect, Imperial Family of Heavenly Soul Empire

He is quick-witted and considers his own side's advantages.

Mingde Hall's greatest advantage lies in its soul guides.

Soul tools are something that the Body Sect absolutely lacks.

Even if the general public and most of the disciples of the Body Sect resist it, the sect leader and higher-ups will definitely try to accept it.

At the very least, the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family is absolutely eager to recruit talent in this field.

"Place an undercover agent?"

Jing Hongchen put the plan aside for the time being.

"If I remember correctly, Mingde Hall also imprisoned an important person."

Before the Soul Fighting Tournament, Kong Deming had captured someone.

Xu Sanshi.

After the Soul Fighting Tournament, Xu Sanshi was escorted back and imprisoned in the Mingde Hall prison.

At this moment, Jing Hongchen thought of the young sect master of the Xuanming Sect of the Douling Empire.

"The martial soul of the Xuanming Sect seems to have a secret technique similar to a second awakening; perhaps we can take a look at it."

After leaving Jing Hongchen's office, Su Yu headed towards Xuan Ziwen's research lab.

"Senior brother."

Xuan Ziwen, who was making the Star Staff Soul Tool, stopped designing the core magic array when he heard Su Yu's voice and turned to look at him.

"Xiaoyu, you're here?"

The Star Staff, an auxiliary soul tool, was previously one of Xuan Ziwen's failed attempts.

However, after coming into contact with the Rune Technique and the Fusion Soul Guidance Technology, he picked up this once-abandoned project again.

The effect is also very good.

The auxiliary effect successfully crossed the threshold of level five, and he subsequently created the level six soul tool, the Star Staff.

He is currently constructing a level seven soul tool, the Star Staff.

Xuan Ziwen was actually quite lonely.

His limit was reaching the development of advanced battle armor technology.

Even the existing advanced battle armor technology is mostly overseen by Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming, who mainly expands upon the technology within advanced battle armor.

An eighth-level Soul Master is far too inadequate for high-level Battle Armor.

Just like Jing Hongchen, who is at level nine, he was also struggling to make a super battle armor and simply didn't get involved. Instead, he planned to make a high-level battle armor of his own first.

Once the battle armor is available, the level of the soul tool will be improved, and then the research on the super battle armor will begin.

Xuan Ziwen designed this level seven Star Staff Martial Soul with the intention of using the Star Staff, along with the high-level battle armor he created at the same time, to help him break through to the level nine Soul Master.

However, high-level battle armor is too difficult to manufacture.

Spiritual metal.

It's simple in some ways, but extremely difficult in others.

The demands on mental strength are a true test of a Soul Master's abilities.

Especially after Su Yu's exploration, if he wanted to continue upgrading his battle armor in the future, using the spiritual energy within the metal to outline the core magic array would be the most suitable approach.

Intermediate-level battle armor can be made from spiritual metals, as is the case with Su Yu's battle armor, and it can be said to be just right for use.

However, although advanced battle armor is also made of spiritual metal, the requirements for the spirituality of the spiritual metal are even higher.

Because the complex core array implies a higher demand for spirituality.

The requirements for forging spirit metals are even higher.

Of course, it's more about nurturing the inner spirit of the metal.

The spiritualization array operates constantly, nurturing one's own soul power and spiritual power, naturally enhancing one's spirituality. However, this process is slow and requires a considerable amount of time.

Xuan Ziwen's mental strength has reached the required level, and he has also contracted all the spiritual metals needed to create his advanced battle armor.

However, this period of nurturing was too long, so he used this interval to study the Star Staff in order to increase his success rate in creating a level nine soul tool in the future.

Of course, advanced battle armor can also simply inscribe the core magic array on spirit metal without outlining it with spirit.

However, this limits the potential of the battle armor, making it difficult to upgrade in the future.

The cultivation of spirituality is achieved through spiritualization arrays. However, if a large number of arrays are engraved on the metal surface, the space left for spiritualization arrays will be smaller, and the possibility of optimizing spiritualization arrays will also be smaller.

It will be extremely difficult to enhance the spirituality of metals in the future.

The optimal solution that Su Yu and his team have decided on is to inscribe a spiritualization array on the metal during the forging process, and then awaken its spirituality.

The metal is physically engraved with a magic array that is beneficial to nurturing the metal's spirituality.

True battle armor involves magic arrays that are drawn with spiritual energy.

"Senior, I have another project here. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

Su Yu originally intended to explore the bone pattern system on his own, step by step.

However, upon reflection, this system involves a vast number of bone patterns, and the number of soul bones Su Yu could refer to at the same time was also limited.

Why not find someone to study it together?

"What are your thoughts?"

Xuan Ziwen was very curious about Su Yu's ingenious ideas.

The rune system and the battle armor system are enough to explain everything.

Su Yu explained the concept of the bone pattern system to Xuan Ziwen.

After hearing what Su Yu said, Xuan Ziwen once again showed an expression of amazement.

"Wow! You can do that too!"

It must be said that runes have a truly wide range of applications.

This not only improves the overall quality of soul tools, but also greatly reduces the barriers for soul masters to control them.

It can even be used directly as a secret method for cultivating spiritual power.

It can also exert various effects, or be applied in the field of battle armor, to complete the fusion of battle armor and soul master.

Now, Su Yu has proposed another idea: to inscribe runes on one's own bones to strengthen one's flesh and blood.

"After the bones are strengthened, there is flesh and blood, and after flesh and blood, there are internal organs, and so on, until the whole body is tempered, thus making the physical body unparalleled." Xuan Ziwen truly admired Su Yu's idea and praised him.

It has to be said that Su Yu made the right choice in choosing Xuan Ziwen.

They clearly had no idea what to do next.

However, with just a concept of bone patterns, Xuan Ziwen figured out the next step: tempering his flesh and blood.

"No, your idea is brilliant. I'll try it out when I have time."

Xuan Ziwen plans to suspend his research on the Star Staff.

The Bone Pattern system showed him the same bright future as the Battle Armor system.

"Teacher, the results of the spirituality test for the spirit metal are in."

A clear female voice came from behind Su Yu.

Su Yu turned his head and saw a beautiful girl with long black hair, still sleepy-eyed, push open the door and come in.

"Oranges? Just leave the report with me." Xuan Ziwen looked up and greeted him.

"By the way, this is Su Yu, my junior brother."

Orange, who had been drowsy, suddenly became much more awake and scrutinized Su Yu for a few moments.

"You're the Brother Su that Yuhao mentioned?"

She seemed very curious about how Su Yu, this young boy of fifteen, could be described as so amazing by Huo Yuhao.

"Ju Zi, this is my junior brother, don't be disrespectful."

"Okay, okay." Orange waved her hand and extended her hand to Su Yu. "Hello, my name is Orange. Yuhao should have told you about me, right?"

Su Yu's lips twitched.

He was curious to know how Orange would react if he mentioned something he hadn't said before.

"Hello, Su Yu."

He managed to suppress this perverse pleasure and didn't act out.

"Xiaoyu, it's perfect that you're here too. The test report on the spirituality of the spirit metal has also come out. Let's take a look together," Xuan Ziwen said.

Su Yu then came to his senses and asked, "What is a spirituality test report?"

He also had doubts about this test.

Xuan Ziwen organized his thoughts on the prophecy and explained, "Any kind of energy can be detected with data. The spirituality within the spirit metal is very prominent, so I conducted extensive research and detected data that can represent the intensity of its spirituality."

After listening to Xuan Ziwen's explanation, Su Yu roughly understood.

"What kind of stimulation allows the spirituality within a spiritual metal to grow the fastest? This is a topic I am currently researching."

The forging of spirit metals can also be done without a blood pact, but the spirit of a rare metal that has just been successfully awakened may not be as strong as that after a blood pact.

However, this kind of spirit metal can be used for research.

After all, the spirit metal in the contract has already occupied a place in the contract. Whether it is the use of spirituality or the improvement of the spiritual array on the surface of the metal, any mistake will result in a permanent loss.

Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research using non-contractual spirit metals.

At Xuan Ziwen's invitation, Su Yu also looked at the spirituality test report of the spirit metal.

"This is the normal group, which includes the changes in spirituality under the conditions of simple soul power cultivation, simple mental power cultivation, and simultaneous cultivation of soul power and mental power."

This is a control group comparing three different nurturing methods under different environments.

Looking at the neatly arranged comparison data, Su Yu quickly analyzed the key factors for spiritual enhancement.

"Soul power is indispensable, spiritual power plays a huge role, and in some extreme cases, it may help nurture spirituality."

To nurture the spirituality of a spirit metal, one must first have soul power. On this basis, adding spiritual power will greatly improve the efficiency.

"This corresponds to the situation of the Soul Masters responsible for nurturing Souls under various extreme circumstances."

Xuan Ziwen took out another record sheet and began to compare the data under various extreme conditions with the relationship between the Soul Masters.

"It has been proven that the positive stimulation brought about by extreme environments is also related to the soul power attributes of the soul masters responsible for nurturing them."

Su Yu had to admire Xuan Ziwen's thorough and rigorous experiments.

"Senior brother, perhaps we can also add various attribute enhancements to the spiritification array."

Xuan Ziwen nodded and said, "I had the same idea."

Su Yu was very interested in Xuan Ziwen's research.

From the data, he could clearly see that the combination of soul power and spiritual power, along with an extreme environment that matched the soul master's soul power, multiplied the speed of nurturing spirituality.

Significant.

"So, absorbing the Thunderous Hell Vine as a soul spirit also plays a role in this."

Without the Thunderous Hell Vine, Su Yu's soul power is purely life attribute.

However, now, Su Yu can convert lightning-attribute soul power and at the same time use the Thunderous Hell Vine to bathe in lightning and nurture his battle armor.

Moreover, if the subsequent research proceeds as Su Yu anticipated, then the improvement of the spiritification array will not require solely focusing on the layering of the array itself.

Su Yu flipped through the report and saw the name "Huo Yuhao" on the last page, which caught his eye.

"Yuhao's ultimate ice seems to be even more effective than that of ordinary ice-attribute soul masters in nurturing spirituality."

Xuan Ziwen exclaimed in surprise.

"Does the strength of an attribute also affect the efficiency of nurturing?"

He noted this down, intending to arrange a similar group in the future.

After reading the research report in Xuan Ziwen's lab, Su Yu also gained a lot.

"By the way, teacher, Yuhao is currently forging a basic battle armor, and it seems he plans to use a spirit metal. Will there be any problems?"

Huo Yuhao is Jing Hongchen's disciple, and Jing Hongchen is concerned about his cultivation.

Orange asked Xuan Ziwen here.

"Trying to use spirit metal in a beginner-level battle armor?" Xuan Ziwen frowned.

"Since the hall master didn't stop it, then his spiritual power should be enough to support the contract with these spiritual metals."

He immediately relaxed his brow and waved his hand.

"Xiaoyu, let me make some arrangements first. Come see me again tomorrow so we can discuss the bone patterns."

My mind went blank. If I don't post it by midnight, I'll post it during the day tomorrow.

Don't say I skipped the word count, I didn't cut it short.

There are three chapters every day from midnight to midnight.
