Su Yu's concept for the virtual soul core technology of the super battle armor is so great.

It not only reduced the difficulty of condensing a second soul core.

It primarily reduces the risk.

After all, even when transferred to battle armor, the construction of a virtual second soul core still requires the soul master to constantly adjust the core array, and even spend a lot of energy.

The overall difficulty has not actually been reduced by much.

What is truly reduced is the risk.

The reduced risk also has a positive impact on the Soul Master's mindset, which in turn increases the chances of success.

A Soul Master's mindset has a huge impact on their breakthrough.

The reduced risk also allows for more attempts.

If once doesn't work, try twice; if twice doesn't work, try three times.

The spirituality within a spirit metal may be permanently lost due to failure, but it can always be replenished and rekindled with time and effort, allowing for another attempt.

If the technology of virtual soul cores were incorporated into battle armor, the biggest benefits would be reduced risk and a greater increase in the power of the battle armor.

After explaining the cultivation of the Three Soul Cores to Huo Yuhao once again, Su Yu also began to pay attention to this issue again.

He had always wondered how the three soul cores could achieve yin-yang complementarity.

From the moment the second soul core begins to condense, there are two different directions in the condensation process.

One approach is to completely follow the existing first soul core, condensing the second soul core through resonance. This method minimizes interference from the first soul core and carries less risk, allowing for continuous adjustments over time until the timing is right. The other approach is to fully accept the influence of the first soul core, condensing the second soul core in a completely different direction under its influence. This is not only more difficult to condense, but the two soul cores will also clash upon successful condensation, entering a chaotic state.

If we compare it to a disc, we can think of isotropic resonance as two perfect discs rotating in the same direction, and yin-yang complementarity as two discs rotating in opposite directions.

Su Yu's doubts did not lie in the operation between the two soul cores, but in how the three soul cores could achieve yin-yang complementarity.

The most reasonable explanation he could think of for the time being was that the first soul core complemented the second soul core, and the second soul core complemented the third soul core, while simultaneously achieving the isotropic resonance of the first soul core and the third soul core, thus maintaining a balance among the three soul cores.

However, this would disrupt the unity of the relationship between the three soul cores, which would be an obstacle to Su Yu's plan to use the three soul cores as a fulcrum to fuse the seventh, eighth, and ninth soul rings from different dimensions.

"Perhaps, by distorting the power of space, it's possible to achieve a non-three-dimensional direction of the soul core's operation?"

Su Yu began to consider the possibility of using spatial power to distort the space between the soul cores, thereby creating a complementary relationship between the third soul core and the first soul core.

The requirements for spatial power are too high, and the concept is too abstract, so abstract that even Su Yu himself cannot verify whether it can be achieved.

This is an unverifiable conjecture, and it is completely different from Su Yu's conjecture about virtual soul core technology.

Su Yu rejected the idea.

If all else fails, then the isotopic resonance method can be used. If all three soul cores are condensed using the isotopic resonance method, the structure of the three soul cores may not be inferior to that of two pairs of complementary and one pair of resonant soul cores.

After all, resonance is a terrifying thing.

The more resonance that forms, the more terrifying it becomes.

In particular, the three soul cores can be compatible with the three powers, and the triangle itself is extremely stable.

Having accomplished their goal of finding Su Yu, Huo Yuhao and Jing Hongchen bid each other farewell.

Leave the back mountain.

They ran into Xu Tianran, who was waiting there.

Su Yu noticed the commotion and came over with Kong Deming to see what was going on.

Behind Xu Tianran, there is also Ju Zi.

Dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, with a gentle demeanor and a phoenix crown worn only by empresses, Ju Zi's image clearly reveals her identity.

She became the empress!

Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted sharply, his breathing became rapid, and his eyes turned slightly red. At this moment, it was as if there were towering waves churning in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Yuhao, calm down."

"Calm down, Yuhao!"

Tianmeng and Bingdi reminded Huo Yuhao, preventing him from losing his temper.

Bajiao didn't have a clear understanding of the situation, and he and Xiaobai were watching with blank expressions, not knowing what had happened.

Behind Xu Tianran, Ju Zi's eyes darted around, revealing a guilty conscience and a sense of remorse.

Su Yu watched this scene with a calm and collected expression, almost as if he was about to crack open a handful of sunflower seeds.

"What important business does Emperor Ming have with me?" Kong Deming asked in a cold tone.

Because of Xu Tianran's behavior, he rarely gave Xu Tianran a kind look and was quite dissatisfied with the other party's behavior of letting a wolf into the house.

His tone at this moment reveals his dissatisfaction with Xu Tianran.

Xu Tianran seemed oblivious to this, a smile spreading across his face as he said, "I heard that the Master of the Red Dust Hall has come to the royal court, and I'm curious what important matter he may have. After all, I learned that the Master's beloved disciple has returned to Mingdu, and since then the Master has come to the back mountain, I thought he might need some assistance."

He had great respect for Kong Deming. If it weren't for the fact that bowing was inappropriate for someone who was already the emperor, he probably would have bowed very respectfully before speaking.

When Kong Deming confronted the Evil Emperor in the Demon Forest, there were no direct witnesses other than Xuan Ziwen, but his aura did indeed permeate the entire Demon Forest.

Since the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult was located in the Demon Forest, Xu Tianran naturally received the news.

Such a powerful ancestor is naturally not to be offended.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to trouble you with this. It was just a matter of some issues related to martial spirit cultivation, and it has already been resolved," Jing Hongchen said calmly.

"Oh?" Xu Tianran sat in a wheelchair, but he could not hide his majestic aura in the slightest. Having been on the emperor's throne for a year, his imposing presence had already been cultivated.

However, none of those present were affected in the slightest.

With spiritual power materialized, Xu Tianran's spirit had no effect whatsoever.

Not to mention that the four of them did not have enough respect for the emperor.

"In that case, congratulations to the hall master's disciple for taking another step forward."

Xu Tianran stared intently at Huo Yuhao for a long time, feeling the powerful soul energy fluctuations, and sighed.

"Our Sun Moon Empire has worthy successors!"

"Your name is Huo Yuhao, right?"

"Yes!" Huo Yuhao answered, suppressing his anger.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's attitude, Ju Zi felt even more guilty.

However, she had to do it for revenge.

"I'm sorry, Yuhao."

Once Huo Yuhao regained his senses, he vaguely realized the problem and felt that Ju Zi must have had her reasons for doing this. Huo Yuhao also understood her biggest reason.

Hatred!

"Good, as expected of the Red Dust Hall Master's outstanding disciple."

Xu Tianran stared at Huo Yuhao and praised him highly.

"By the way, Yuhao, your strength is already sufficient for graduation from the academy, right? You should participate in this Soul Battle Tournament. After the tournament, I will personally approve your early graduation. With your talent and strength, I will entrust you with the leadership of the Royal Soul Master Corps. What do you say?"

The Soul Masters at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy are also the reserve members of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Corps.

In cases indicated by the emperor's decree, it was necessary to go to the front lines to fight.

Of course, more often than not, they were ordered to mass-produce soul tools in the rear.

However, because Huo Yuhao's combat strength was equally outstanding, Xu Tianran wanted to send him directly to the front line.

Of course, the promised position was not low either; they even offered Huo Yuhao the position of commander of an entire legion of the Royal Soul Master Corps.

It's definitely not going to be a promotion to regimental commander right away; it's just a pie in the sky.

Even so, Huo Yuhao could only obediently follow Xu Tianran's lead for the time being.

Jing Hongchen wanted to help, but Xu Tianran didn't give him a chance to speak.

At the same time, Su Yu's angle, which Xu Tianran couldn't notice, was also signaling to Jing Hongchen and Huo Yuhao to agree.

Ju Zi will eventually have to control the army, so sending Yu Hao there to gain experience first is a good option.

Su Yu, still feeling unsatisfied and dissatisfied with today's gossip, returned to the back mountain to continue his studies.

"You were really engrossed in watching that just now," Kong Deming said with a laugh.

Given the circumstances, how could someone like him, who had even condensed a spiritual realm, not notice the unusual atmosphere?

Xu Tianran, focused solely on getting Huo Yuhao into the military and using this opportunity to put Jing Hongchen in a negative light, failed to notice the unusual atmosphere.

Outside the palace, Huo Yuhao recalled the whole incident after leaving.

Su Yu's gesture, and Ju Zi's guilt.

"What does Brother Yu mean? Does he really want me to join the army?"

The Soul Master Corps was completely controlled by the emperor, so once Xu Tianran joined the Soul Master Corps, he could openly recruit and suppress him in various ways.

And Jing Hongchen could no longer use the neutrality of Mingdetang to obstruct Xu Tianran.

"Sigh, I originally planned to wait a few years and have you stay at Mingde Hall as a researcher, but I was too late."

Huo Yuhao's two-year absence left Jing Hongchen unprepared in this regard, and she didn't expect Xu Tianran to be so unexpected.

"However, since Su Yu let you join the army, he must think it's for the better. When he returns to Mingde Hall, go and ask him more often to see what he really thinks."

"Yes."

Su Yu did not stay in the royal back mountain for too long.

He consulted his teacher about the theory of the ninth level of soul guidance, and this process was greatly shortened while Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming were talking.

Two days later, he returned to Mingde Hall.

When Su Yu returned to Mingde Hall, Huo Yuhao couldn't wait to come over immediately.

"Brother Yu, what did you mean back then?"

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but ask.

"Yuhao, you need to know that Xu Tianran is a cripple. He has great ambitions and wants to annex the three kingdoms of Douluo. His desire to control the army is definitely not small. Who do you think is most suitable to replace him in commanding the army?" Su Yu asked rhetorically.

Huo Yuhao was stunned, then suddenly realized.

"You mean, Orange will be in command of the army?"

Huo Yuhao was well aware of Ju Zi's military capabilities and knew she was absolutely capable of handling the task. But was it really alright for the Empress to personally lead the troops into battle?

"Yuhao, there's no doubt about that. Given Xu Tianran's personality, he's perfectly capable of doing something like this. I can tell that your relationship with Ju Zi is quite unusual. Perhaps she has some difficulties in becoming empress. I think you two should talk about it, and it might be more convenient for you to meet in the army."

After Su Yu briefly analyzed the situation with Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao's inner conflict was temporarily resolved.

"Alright, go back and practice with your soul tools. Try to make your intermediate-level battle armor with spirit metal and start nurturing it as soon as possible to make it easier to upgrade later."

After sending Huo Yuhao away, Su Yu also prepared to start making a soul tool.

Aim to become a Level 9 Soul Master!

There are still some rare metals in stock, which may not be enough to reach the ninth level of Soul Master, but it is still possible to make some attempts.

If that's not enough, you can ask Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen for help; they'll definitely have a solution.

The main point is that they don't want to earn money to buy rare metals.

work to earn a living?

It's impossible for me to work.

Just as Su Yu was preparing to strive for the ninth level of Soul Master, he ran into the Xiao brothers again in Mingde Hall.

Xiao Ping and Xiao Fan are two very interesting brothers.

A Soul Master's development direction is that of a melee Soul Master, and they are passionate about Soul Guidance Armor, which is quite compatible with the Battle Armor system.

One was simply a Soul Master disguised as a Soul Master, who was more interested in Soul Master cultivation. The Soul Master level, which was equivalent to the Soul Master cultivation level, was actually developed incidentally to better facilitate Soul Master cultivation.

"Senior Su Yu," Xiao Ping and Xiao Fan said.

Su Yu asked the two brothers why they had come.

"Senior, the sect leader requests your presence."

"Oh?"

"The teams participating in this Soul Fighting Tournament have been selected and are about to enter the final training phase. You are one of them, senior."

Jing Hongchen's office.

Su Yu, Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, the Xiao Ping brothers, and eight other Soul Masters have all gathered.

There are a total of fourteen people, with seven in the main team and seven in the reserve team.

"Xiaoyu, you're here. Let's get to know each other, after all, you'll be the captain in the upcoming competition," Jing Hongchen said.

"Xiao Ping, a level 5 Soul Master, specializes in close combat, and his basic battle armor is almost complete. Shi Xing, a level 5 Soul Master, specializes in using high-explosive shell-type Soul Tools in combat, and the production of his battle armor has also begun. Zhou Xinghao, a level 5 Soul Master, specializes in heavy artillery, and his battle armor is also in the construction stage."

Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen both knew Su Yu, but Jing Hongchen was not introduced. Instead, Huo Yuhao introduced the other three main team members to Su Yu.

Xiao Ping and Su Yu had met by chance before. Of the remaining two, Shi Xing's soul power had reached at least the high-level Soul King level. He was tall and thin with a handsome appearance, while Zhou Xinghao was short. Based on the feedback from his blood energy, Su Yu felt that his strength was not small.

Jing Hongchen briefly introduced the seven members of the reserve team and said, "Today is for you to get to know each other, and then we will begin intensive training."

Training camp?

Su Yu was somewhat puzzled.

Three Soul Saints, one Soul Emperor, and three Soul Kings, all clad in battle armor.

With this setup, what's the point of even having a training camp?
