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

Chapter 123 Shrek Redeems People (Please continue reading!!!)

"Senior brother, I heard from the hall master a while ago that you had made some progress, and you had another breakthrough a couple of days ago?"

Su Yu was surprised by his luck.

After wasting a few days at the research institute, I was pleasantly surprised to receive another bonus.

"Oh, Master, the most basic bone pattern elements over there are what we discovered and categorized by analyzing your soul bone."

I worked with Lao Yuan and the others to develop a basic elemental system within bone patterns.

Listening to Xuan Ziwen's description, Su Yu roughly understood their results.

Unlike the core magic array and runes, bone patterns are the skeletal patterns within the soul bone.

The study of bone patterns is also for the purpose of tempering bones and strengthening the physique of human soul masters.

The goal is to achieve similar characteristics even without absorbing a soul bone.

Thus, the energy flow patterns involved in bone runes are necessarily different from those of ordinary runes.

It can be seen as a relatively well-organized system among runes.

The condensation of soul bones is a natural process based on the type of soul beast and the soul skills it possesses.

These patterns are also formed naturally.

It can be said that this is the most natural evolution of the abilities and skills of soul beasts.

Xuan Ziwen decomposed this evolved pattern and summarized its most basic elements.

A single soul bone cannot possibly summarize all the basic elements.

However, there is no doubt that they have already achieved initial results.

At the same time, a batch of funds was obtained from Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, to carry out research on other soul bones.

As for Xuan Ziwen's updated research findings, they belong to his personal research project.

The research team of Lao Yuan and others specializing in soul bone and soul guidance technology did not participate; the bone tempering and soul nourishing plan was solely carried out by Xuan Ziwen.

"By tempering the bones and improving physical fitness, we can maximize the feedback of our mental power!"

Su Yu's eyes shone brightly.

Has this project made a major breakthrough?

Xuan Ziwen was full of enthusiasm and explained his general research ideas to Su Yu before handing over his results to Su Yu.

"This is a technique I discovered that maximizes the feedback from mental energy during the process of physical strengthening."

Su Yu was satisfied when he left Xuan Ziwen's research lab.

These two achievements indicate that the study of bone patterns will enter a phase of rapid development.

The subsequent achievement has been of great help to Su Yu himself.

He handed over several top-grade ten-thousand-year-old soul bones that he had obtained in the far north to Xuan Ziwen.

This can be considered the second batch of soul bones he invested.

Upon obtaining these soul bones, Lao Yuan and the others mentioned by Xuan Ziwen were immediately drooling.

The three top-grade ice-attribute soul bones were not only perfectly preserved, but the soul skills they contained were also top-grade.

Not to mention Lao Yuan and the others, even Xuan Ziwen was curious about how Su Yu obtained these soul bones.

Su Yu did not answer.

He couldn't possibly say it was payment for helping Xue Di cultivate, could he?

Upon returning to Mingdu, Su Yu plans to first forge his own advanced battle armor.

He is already a Soul Saint, which is the most suitable level for intermediate-level battle armor, but theoretically, he can also use advanced-level battle armor at this level.

The spiritual energy within the metal used in his battle armor had long been nurtured by him to the point where it was sufficient to be inscribed with advanced battle armor patterns.

Before setting out on his travels, Su Yu had already reached the level of an eighth-level Soul Master. In the past six months, he had also basically completed the design of the core magic array for his advanced battle armor.

Upon returning to Mingdu, he—

"Um"

Su Yu discovered that he had no money.

Since arriving in the Sun Moon Empire, Su Yu has never lacked money, nor has he ever thought about making money, after spending the first two months with the thousand gold soul coins that Qian Tong had invested.

But now, he wants to make his own high-grade battle armor, but he finds that he doesn't seem to have enough money.

Although the armor was made based on the current battle armor, Su Yu also needed to add new rare metals to it during the process, blending them into a higher-grade alloy to meet more requirements.

What to do if you have no money?

Find a teacher.

Just as Su Yu was about to take action, Old Ma found him.

"Su Yu, the sect leader wants to see you."

"it is good."

Jing Hongchen is looking for me? What's up?

Su Yu arrived at Jing Hongchen's office with a puzzled expression.

"Xiaoyu, I remember you told me last time that you need a soul bone, right?"

Su Yu nodded.

Before leaving Mingdu, he had talked to Jing Hongchen about how the research on bone patterns required the support of soul bones. If Shrek Academy sent someone to redeem Qian Duoduo and the other person, they could exchange soul bones for them.

"What's going on, Master? Is Qian Duoduo still in our Mingde Hall?"

Su Yu was also surprised.

It's been so long! Qian Duoduo has been locked up in Mingde Hall for at least a year, and only now do they remember the dean of the Soul Guidance Department?

"Master, why did you summon me here?"

Su Yu still didn't understand why Jing Hongchen had summoned him.

"Oh, it's nothing, just confirming that you still need a soul bone. Shrek Academy is sending people this afternoon to negotiate the terms for redeeming Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu," Jing Hongchen said.

Su Yu also detected a hint of sarcasm in Jing Hongchen's tone.

Their demands are about to change, and Shrek Academy only just thought of redeeming the dean of the Soul Guidance Department.

They'll give you opportunities when there's demand, but when there's no demand, who cares about you?

However, Shrek is just that slow.

"What has Shrek Academy been doing for the past year or so?" Su Yu asked, frowning.

Is it really reasonable to ignore the dean of one's own department for more than a year?

Su Yu felt that Shrek Academy had probably undergone some kind of transformation during the past year.

"Oh, I do know a little about that. It seems Shrek Academy has started working on a Soul Guidance System."

The level of support is quite substantial.

Unfortunately, with their mediocre skills, and the two most skilled and talented Soul Masters locked up here, they can't possibly develop anything worthwhile.

Jing Hongchen mocked.

Oh?

Shrek Academy is starting to work on soul tools?

"It must be that Mu En died and gave the order that we must vigorously develop soul tools."

It's likely that Xuanzi also witnessed the power of soul tools, and has been consistently implementing this policy.

Jing Hongchen guessed that it was only after Mu En was killed by the soul tool that Shrek Academy realized what had happened.

"If we let them develop now, there's simply not enough time."

Two important figures from the Soul Guidance Department are still missing.

"By the way, this time I'm planning to ask for thirty soul bones that are over ten thousand years old. What do you think?"

Upon hearing Jing Hongchen's conditions, Su Yu gasped.

Damn, I was just saying that in the first place. You don't actually want to do it, do you?

Soul bones that are over ten thousand years old are already extremely precious. In fact, most Soul Emperors on the continent do not even have a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone.

Asking for thirty ten-thousand-year-old soul bones right off the bat, that's just unbelievable.

"Master, you can make the decision yourself."

"Yeah, I think the reason we think of Qian Duoduo right now is because the two of them are playing a very important role."

Jing Hongchen decided to make the deal on these terms.

If that doesn't work, then forget about it and keep dragging it out.

Anyway, it's Shrek Academy that's in a hurry.

If you're developing soul tools, and you don't even have a powerful soul master, who would bother to learn it?

The students at Shrek Academy are all extremely talented and should have good comprehension, but they have one thing in common.

Especially under Shrek's educational model, they all became incredibly arrogant.

Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre.

Imagine an academy that encourages its students to learn about soul tools, but the academy itself doesn't have any masters specializing in soul tools. What would these students do?

It's too lenient if we don't fall out with you.

You want me to learn?

Hey, I'm not going to learn it.

Without an excellent teacher, it's almost impossible to go far in the field of soul tools.

When Huo Yuhao became Fan Yu's disciple, he basically didn't learn anything.

What Fan Yu could do was explain the basics of soul guidance theory and teach him the core magic array of the soul guidance device.

I have the skills, and I also have the insights.

After all, Fan Yu is also an eighth-level Soul Master, and he must have some insights and experiences from his own exploration of the Soul Tool making process.

But how could one person's experience compare to the accumulation of Mingdetang over hundreds of years?

In fact, a person's experience may contain many errors and omissions.

"There's one more thing. The Emperor's health has been deteriorating recently, and he could pass away at any time. Please be extra careful during this period."

To put it bluntly, the emperor could die at any time, and then Crown Prince Xu Tianran would succeed him.

Even before he had officially ascended the throne, Xu Tianran was already incredibly arrogant. Many ministers in the court who disagreed with him were all wiped out by the evil spirit masters.

This cruel method is quite insane.

Once he ascends the throne, if Su Yu catches his attention again, he will probably really take action.

There will be no more hiding.

"Didn't the teacher do anything about it?" Su Yu asked, frowning.

Jing Hongchen sighed.

How easy is it?

"Even Elder Kong was dissatisfied with him, but Xu Tianran now has two Limit Douluos standing behind him."

Xu Tianran didn't know how he did it, but he handed over the Soul Guidance Technology to an evil Soul Master, which allowed the Death God Douluo to successfully advance to the ninth level Soul Master and even create the so-called Death God's Light.

"Did the teacher fight that guy?"

Su Yu's heart tightened.

Kong Deming had never told him any of these things.

"They fought once, and Master Kong won by luck, but there were two opponents on the other side."

In short, if the two Limit Douluos of the Holy Spirit Cult were to join forces, Kong Deming might not necessarily have the upper hand.

Especially since they are evil spirit masters.

Kong Deming was unsure about the personalities of these two men.

If they were truly pushed to the brink of confrontation, he worried that these two might take action against the Sun Moon Empire.

"Xu Tianran is such an idiot, actually provoking an evil soul master."

Is this something you can touch freely?

Just like drugs, once you get hooked, you can never stop.

It's fine if you don't seek cooperation with others, but once you do, you can never get out of that situation.

If you unilaterally sever ties, the other party can then recklessly harm your interests, forcing you to join forces with them again.

Unless we eliminate all future troubles.

To wipe out the Holy Spirit Cult in one fell swoop!

"After you rest and recuperate in Mingdu, you should leave as soon as possible."

If Xu Tianran ascends the throne, Su Yu would be better off staying out of his sight.

"By the way, take Yuhao with you before you leave. It's not suitable for him to remain in Xu Tianran's sight any longer."

Laughing at the mortal world and dreaming of the mortal world are unnecessary.

Strictly speaking, they are different from Su Yu and Huo Yuhao. One is the direct descendant of Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, and the other is a genius from the Star Luo Empire.

One's background alone can make a huge difference.

In the face of power, this is the most deadly thing.

"I've already gotten some information out of Xu Sanshi. Go to the Xuanming Sect of the Douling Empire and see if you can get their secret method for awakening martial souls."

If that still doesn't work, then take Yuhao to the Endless Volcano on the edge of the Star Luo Empire to give it a try.

Yuhao's ultimate ice power couldn't push him to his limits in the far north; perhaps we could try the opposite.

It's clear that Jing Hongchen really went to great lengths to help Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes awaken a second time.

Su Yu wrote them down one by one.

"Well, Master, you know, while I'm traveling around, I certainly can't neglect the production of soul tools."

"I might even attempt to become a level nine Soul Master along the way. Could Mingde Hall possibly approve a batch of rare metals for me?"

Jing Hongchen looked at Su Yu but did not expose him.

"Don't worry about that, I'll apply for a batch of rare metals for you."

This batch will be unprecedentedly large.

"Alright, go and craft the advanced battle armor first. Here are my insights on crafting advanced battle armor; you can take a look."

Su Yu took the booklet containing Jing Hongchen's insights and the document approving the allocation of rare metals, nodded, and left.

In the afternoon, Jing Hongchen received Mr. Song from Shrek Academy.

Su Yu was unaware of the specific negotiation process.

However, the result was that Shrek Academy redeemed Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu by paying the price of thirty ten-thousand-year soul bones.

At the same time, Jing Hongchen also obtained a lot of information about soul beasts from Shrek Academy.

In the future, the development of soul tools will be truly valued in the Douluo Continent.

However, at the same time, the power of Soul Masters will increasingly become an important factor in high-level power.

Without a strong foundation as a Soul Master, Battle Armor cannot achieve its maximum amplification effect.

Jing Hongchen was collecting information on soul beasts in preparation for this.

Shrek Academy.

boom!

A deafening explosion resounded within the Soul Guidance System.

"Ugh, can't a person even cultivate in peace?"

If you don't have the technical skills, why force yourself to do it well?

There was widespread discontent within the college.

"Sigh, the technology of fixed-mount soul-guided cannons involves too many things; one mistake can lead to total defeat."

He Caitou sighed.

He looked at the fixed-mount soul-guided cannon model in front of him, which had been scrapped once again, with great regret.

Even though we were working very hard, there were always a few people who made mistakes in their work, which caused problems during the coordination process.

I still need to improve my Soul Master level.

When your own skills are insufficient and you rely on multiple people to work together, this kind of problem will always occur.

"Radish!"

He Caitou heard a slightly familiar voice, turned around and looked. His frustration from the failure to make the fixed soul cannon was instantly swept away.

"Teacher!" he exclaimed in surprise.

The teacher is back!

He Caitou is only alive today thanks to Fan Yu, whom he truly regards as his own father.

During the time Fan Yu was detained by Mingde Hall, he repeatedly expressed his hatred for Mingde Hall's domineering behavior.

He also requested permission from the academy to redeem the teacher more than once.

More than a year later, the teacher finally came back.
