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

Chapter 49 The Far North

Kong Deming has been gone for some time now.

Su Yu really missed it.

The simplified technique of the core magic array pattern in the fourth-level soul tool is not difficult to understand.

However, many of these techniques are still troublesome to figure out.

Su Yu was able to solve a calculus problem, but the process wasted a lot of time. It would be faster to have a teacher guide him through it.

Moreover, many of the problems Su Yu is currently encountering cannot be explained by the fourth-level soul guidance theory.

The refinement of the Condensation and Gathering runes thus reached a bottleneck, which is one of the reasons why he began to create new runes.

"Master Kong should be back soon."

Jing Hongchen hadn't seen Kong Deming for a long time. If it weren't for the occasional messages from Kong Deming asking him to keep an eye on Su Yu's cultivation progress, he would have suspected that something had happened to Kong Deming.

Su Yu nodded, feeling somewhat worried as well.

Kong Deming's life safety is one thing.

After all, it is the pillar of the Sun Moon Empire. If something were to happen to it, the entire situation of the Douluo Continent could change.

Besides that, there's the Soul Fighting Tournament.

The Shrek team leader was that Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder, which made Su Yu very apprehensive.

If you go too far in the ring, that shameless bastard will really retaliate.

No, it's not just that I hit too hard.

Perhaps because of you, Shrek Academy lost, and its millennia-long glory was destroyed in an instant. He too will retaliate in anger.

Therefore, having someone who can provide him with a sense of security to lead the team to the competition is a preparation that Su Yu needs to make.

Your own teacher is naturally the first choice.

Although he wasn't a Limit Douluo, or even a Super Douluo, he was one foot in the realm of a Level 10 Soul Master.

Its overall threat level is no less than that of Limit Douluo.

If Kong Deming doesn't return, Su Yu will have to explain the pros and cons to Jing Hongchen and ask him to oversee things.

"Master Kong told me that if you have any questions about soul tools, you can ask me."

Jing Hongchen assumed that Su Yu had encountered a bottleneck in his research on soul tools and spoke up.

"It just so happens that we're going to the far north this time. The journey is long, and we'll have plenty of time on the road. I'll answer your questions."

Su Yu didn't stand on ceremony and nodded.

The sooner you complete the cultivation technique and the sooner you draw the runes, the sooner you will benefit from them.

"We don't know how much time this will take."

Last time, Su Yu and Xiao Hongchen spent nearly two months searching for a soul beast.

And this is only in the Jingyang Mountains.

A round trip to the far north can take up to half a month.

Moreover, the soul beasts in the far north are even more difficult to find.

This trip might take even longer than the last one.

"The Soul Fighting Tournament is still three months away. The academy just started classes a couple of days ago, and the selection of contestants will be held in a few days."

I've already given Su Yu and Meng their spots, so there's no need to worry about that.

It should be noted that if we are delayed this time, we will head directly to Xingluo City.

Jing Hongchen said to Xiao Hongchen.

After giving all the instructions, Jing Hongchen, Su Yu, and Meng Hongchen left the academy.

With their flying soul tools, they reached a small town on the edge of the far north in just five days.

"Further inside, you can no longer use flight soul tools."

The environment in the far north is too harsh to travel using a flying soul tool.

The three removed their flight soul tools, put on their prepared warming soul tools, and continued deeper into the area.

Another three days have passed.

"We are now on the outskirts of the far north."

"The Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad of Dreams is of the ice and fire attributes. Soul beasts of the corresponding attributes are hard to find, so the target for now is still the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad."

"The Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad lives on the outskirts of the far north. Through the information from Mingde Hall, I have also identified several areas where the ten-thousand-year-old Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad has appeared."

Jing Hongchen took out a map and pointed at it, circling several of their destinations.

"There isn't much information about the far north. I only learned about the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad because it lives on the outskirts and I intentionally collected information about it."

From now on, neither of you can stray out of my sight.

Be prepared to unleash your Martial Soul in battle at the best time.

In the far north, the biting wind carries snowflakes, and the sky is covered in white snow. If you wait in one place for even a minute, you will be covered by snowflakes.

In such an environment, there is a possibility that a soul beast may be hiding anywhere.

The worst part is that this is the far north.

Many soul beasts maintain extremely low levels of vital signs, and when they rest, it is similar to hibernation, making it difficult to even sense their soul power aura.

Therefore, even if there is a soul beast sleeping under your feet, you may not be able to sense it.

"My mental energy always covers a range of 100 meters around me, so such an extreme situation is unlikely to occur, but it's always better to be cautious."

Jing Hongchen is a titled Douluo, capable of withstanding the weather here.

Meng Hongchen's martial soul is the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad, which is relatively easy.

As for Su Yu, he had consumed the ninth-grade snow lotus and was still able to move around normally.

Xiao Hongchen is completely different; he'd probably still be a burden here, so I didn't bring him along this time.

"Grandpa, are you really talking about soul tools?"

Meng Hongchen could not understand the theories discussed by Su Yu and Jing Hongchen.

What are they talking about?

Su Yu was asking questions in the name of the Soul Guidance Device, but the real core of the question was actually the construction of the runes.

His rune technique, similar to the method of inscription in the void, can disregard the fact that it is inscribed on rare metals, making it more complex and unrestrained.

This, in turn, touches upon the blind spots of the Dream of the Mortal World.

Therefore, although many of the patterns are basic names of soul tools, she cannot understand their combination methods and concepts.

Moreover, Su Yu's rune technique is still different from the core magic array of the soul tool.

The essence of rune magic lies in the integrity and stability of the final rune.

Each line drawn in the void is interconnected to maintain stability, allowing it to exist stably when spiritual energy flows.

This is the foundation of Su Yu's rune technique.

In the process of answering Su Yu's questions, Jing Hongchen gradually gained a vague understanding of what Su Yu was researching.

Given that Su Yu's questions all involved the construction of mental energy array patterns, he was basically certain that Su Yu was trying to use the core array of the soul tool to assist in the cultivation of mental energy.

After all, even Jing Hongchen's idea for researching fusion-type soul guidance technology was provided by Su Yu.

Su Yu didn't try to hide it.

After Jing Hongchen roughly guessed what had happened, he didn't hide it from him.

"A genius idea."

Jing Hongchen was both shocked by Su Yu's level of spiritual power and amazed by Su Yu's rune technique.

"Your rune technique, although it has a high barrier to entry, can be practiced indefinitely."

"Can others cultivate your rune technique?"

After pondering for a moment, Jing Hongchen still asked the question.

This rune technique is indeed of great significance, especially for Soul Masters.

"Many hands make light work, but I don't think it's suitable for widespread dissemination at the moment."
