Chapter 230 The Status Quo One Year Later and the Rat Man Huo Yuhao (5000)
Soul guidance system test area No. 12.
Soft soul-guided lights fill every corner of this vast experimental area.
Xu Zihuang was sitting in front of a long metal table, playing with various small parts on the table. A year and a half later, he was already fourteen years old. He was over 1.8 meters tall, and his figure was not that kind.
A particularly strong type, with well-proportioned bones and flesh, and restrained body.
The noble deep purple eyes have an indescribable nobility, which makes people unconsciously become filthy. There is also a somewhat profound and breathtaking feeling in the nobility.
Her long black hair is tied into a wolf tail and pinned behind her back, with a few strands of enchanting purple hair falling between her temples and the tall bridge of her nose, looking capable yet elegant.
He picked up a dark metal barrel over one meter long in his right hand, and held a crystal blue metal ball in his left hand. The metal ball, which was about the size of a fist, was also engraved with densely packed strange patterns.
The thick metal barrel definitely weighed over a hundred kilograms, but he relied on the strength of a few fingers of his right hand to easily fiddle with it. His long, white fingers moved a few times at the tail of the metal barrel.
Then, a groove just the size of the metal ball was revealed.
That metal ball is actually the core of all soul guides, the core array. To be more precise, it is the aggregate of the core array.
It is not difficult to carve a core array on a specific rare metal. This is just the basis for getting started as a soul engineer. What is difficult is to smelt several core arrays into a whole like Xu Zihuang, which can be used as a driving soul guide.
The core. And on this crystal blue metal ball, he smelted eight level five core magic circles.
In the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy that year, Xiao Hongchen, whom Xu Zihuang fought against, threw out hundreds of core array aggregates in the form of metal balls. But the one that was really made by Xiao Hongchen himself
, actually does not account for half of it.
Because it is too difficult to smelt those core arrays with completely different properties into a whole, which is too much a test of the soul master's skills. In addition to the extremely high accuracy requirements for the inscription of the core array, it also takes a huge amount of energy to coordinate and adjust.
Of course, these are not a problem for Xu Zihuang. With the golden boy's spiritual martial soul, he can control the error to a minimum when inscribing the core array, and can even inscribe it without any error.
Or a perfect core array with an error close to zero. And relying on his strong mental power, he can feel the fluctuations of soul power when those core arrays are running in more detail, so as to make the most accurate and appropriate adjustments.
Xu Zihuang put the metal ball into the metal barrel, and with the sound of metal collision, a top-quality level five long-range attack soul guide was completed.
When he and He Caitou were carrying out the ultimate individual soldier plan, the two of them were partial to the study of soul tools.
He specializes in the production of close-in-body soul guides and soul guides that require precise control with the body, while He Caitou's research direction tends to be long-range soul guides and custom-made soul guides, especially advanced custom-made soul guides.
The making of artillery shells.
Although Xu Zihuang still has some energy left after completing his usual studies, he has no plans to comprehensively study the production of various soul guidance devices.
In this level five long-range attack soul tool, except for the core array aggregate, which was made by him, all other parts were actually provided by He Caitou.
Like Xu Zihuang, He Caitou has already become a fifth-level soul master. If he can break through the fifty-level bottleneck in a short period of time and obtain a suitable soul ring to advance to the soul king realm, he will be able to leapfrog and make a sixth-level soul master.
The soul guide is also a matter of course.
Even Fan Yu, who was known for his strictness, felt nothing but joy and pride for Yu Tianhuang and He Caitou. With their talent in making soul tools, as long as they had enough cultivation, they would almost certainly be able to
In the future, he will become a ninth-level soul mentor.
Maybe he can personally train two ninth-level soul masters for the three empires of Douluo Continent.
It is very common for a soul master to go into seclusion at a critical moment when making a soul guide. Neither Caitou nor Fan Yu came today. Xu Zihuang was the only one in the No. 12 Experimental Area of Nuo Da dedicated to Fan Yu.
Xu Zihuang stood up and came to the edge of the testing ground to test the power of the soul guide device and stood there. The metal barrel held in his right hand was also lifted up and down with the support of his amazing wrist and arm strength, until it was at the same height as his shoulders.
Slowly injecting soul power into it, the originally dark metal barrel was instantly rendered into a transparent ice blue, and then a dazzling ice blue light burst out from it, drawing a gorgeous streak in the air.
The light trace spanned a distance of a hundred meters and hit a rugged metal wall.
The sharp-edged ice crystals spread on the metal wall at a speed visible to the naked eye, and between breaths they have connected into a thick layer of ice, wrapping the metal wall inside.
Not only that, there were even crystal clear ice crystals condensing on the ground and walls within a radius of about a hundred meters.
This is Xu Zihuang's fifth-level freezing cannon, which was improved on the basis of the fifth-level long-range soul guide freezing ray. Compared with the freezing ray, this freezing cannon requires more soul power to be injected, and its power is naturally much more powerful.
This freezing cannon is already more powerful than the fourth soul skills of many ice attribute soul masters, but it is definitely lacking compared to the soul king's fifth soul skill. Normally, soul masters at the soul king level use all their strength.
Activating your fifth soul skill will consume at least about 30% of your soul power, but using this freezing cannon consumes much less soul power.
The soul guide is indeed a product of the evolution of the times, which can give the soul master good combat power, but it cannot violate the rules of this world. If the soul guide can explode with more powerful power with less soul power, then the traditional
Soul masters have no meaning in their existence. However, custom-installed soul guides are an exception.
Because the material requirements for custom-installed soul guides are too stringent, they are destined to be unable to be popularized on a large scale.
The biting cold chill invaded, but Xu Zihuang was not affected by it at all, and put the fifth-level freezing cannon into the storage soul guide.
Ordinary students of the soul guidance department used the resources of the academy to successfully make soul guidance devices. If they want to take them away, they must pay for the production materials and various rare metals. For Xu Zihuang and He Caitou, who are the executors of the extreme individual soldier plan
, there is no such rule.
They can take away the soul guides made here for free.
Xu Zihuang moved his body a little, then turned and left the No. 12 Experimental Area.
The courses that cycle every seven days are still going on, but in the soul guide production course, Fan Yu is not so rigid in asking him to learn something. He spends more time just to give him some experience and guidance, and then let him
He thinks and allocates time by himself. This is very similar to Mr. Mu's approach.
There is no doubt about the importance of imagination and creativity to a soul master. Fan Yu also makes long-term considerations based on this.
It seems that he has a heavy curriculum and the academy's extremely high requirements for him, but his talent is so good that he can easily cope with and even exceed the goals set by Fan Yu and Mr. Mu.
Therefore, he is very leisurely on weekdays, and he seems to be less stressed than the students from the Martial Arts Department and Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy's outer campus.
Skillfully walking through the complicated passages in the soul guidance system test area, when Xu Zihuang walked through the metal gate and arrived outside the test area, he realized that the sky had been completely shrouded in night.
There is still about a month left before the end of the semester. It is winter and it gets dark earlier than before.
In the night, a few soul guidance street lamps emitting cold light were sparsely dotted, and there was no one on the quiet road. The soul guidance department has always been so cold.
Thin raindrops were still floating in the sky, which looked particularly clear under the illumination of the soul-guided street lamps. The golden mangrove trees on both sides of the street rustled under the blowing of the cold wind, and water droplets fell from the smooth red leaves, falling like red rain.
Among the sounds of dripping rain and falling leaves, there was also a crisp sound of footsteps coming from far and near.
Xu Zihuang looked up thoughtfully, and what appeared in her sight was a tall girl. The girl was wearing the yellow uniform of the third grade of the Martial Arts Department of Shrek Academy, and her long platinum hair was very conspicuous.
, the front section of the hair is slightly curled and spread over the shoulders.
On top of her beautiful face, there are aqua blue eyes that reveal tenderness and affection. The clear eyes are reflected by the soul-guided light and Xu Zihuang's reflection. There is also a golden oil umbrella in her slender hands.
This oil umbrella is made of oil paper extracted from the slurry of several plant-type soul beasts, and then carefully made. There are various exquisite patterns on the oil umbrella, and the shapes of some strange plants and flowers can be faintly seen, and there are also
Covered with a layer of crystal yellow beeswax similar to enamel, it repels water and is extremely tough.
The oil umbrella moved slightly, and the girl's eyes met Xu Zihuang's. With her nose slightly wrinkled and her eyes full of tenderness, she quickened her steps and came to Xu Zihuang.
Xu Zihuang took the oil umbrella from the girl's hand very naturally, then held her in his arms and said softly.
"If the weather is bad in the future, please don't come here."
The girl is Ning Tian. A year and a half later, Ning Tian is also fourteen years old. Girls generally develop earlier than boys. Ning Tian’s height has not changed much compared to a year ago.
She is about 1.72 meters tall. But her well-developed figure has made her lose her youthfulness and become more graceful and graceful.
Standing next to Xu Zihuang, if she wasn't a little immature in appearance, she might easily be thought of as a girl of seventeen or eight years old who is close to adulthood.
"I'm not as busy as you and senior brother He, and I don't have much to do after class." Ning Tian showed a charming and elegant smile, and hugged Xu Zihuang's other free arm.
In the past year and a half, whenever Xu Zihuang needs to come to the Soul Guidance Department to study, after the course is over, she will come over and wait for Xu Zihuang to go back together. Rain or shine.
Ning Tian's sincerity was noticed by many students in the academy. The male students were more envious, while the female students who had not given up on Xu Zihuang also gradually retreated.
Compared with Ning Tian, the sole heir of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect, they really have no advantage. On the other hand, they also subconsciously feel that Yu Tianhuang and Ning Tian are really a good match together, and there is no room for them to interfere.
Xu Zihuang's arms blended into Ning Tian's warm and soft bosom. The ambiguous atmosphere in front of him and Ning Tian's charming face can easily make people's hearts sway. However, his eyes were very clear, leading Ning Tian along the road.
Go forward.
"Let's go." Xu Zihuang smiled gently. As he walked, he asked Ning Tian.
"By the way, how is the progress of Senior Xiaoya's training? If Senior Xiaoya also successfully breaks through to level 40, we can go to the Star Dou Forest together to obtain suitable soul rings."
He had stayed in the Poseidon Pavilion for the past few days, with Elder Mu guiding him in his cultivation. It was inevitable that he would not be able to learn about everyone's situation at the first time.
"Senior Xiaoya went into seclusion to practice three days ago. Now there is only about a month until the end of the semester. The pressure on Senior Xiaoya is still quite high. If she wants to graduate from the outer college, she must do it within this month.
She broke through to level 40 within a short period of time and successfully obtained the fourth soul ring. However, judging from the performance of Senior Sister Xiaoya before she practiced in seclusion, it was not a big problem for her to break through to level 40. Moreover, Senior Brother Bei also got a
Mei Sheng Soul Pill has made complete preparations for Senior Sister Xiaoya," Ning Tian responded clearly and logically.
Speaking of this, her pretty face suddenly showed a bit of hesitation and shyness, and she hesitated to speak.
Xu Zihuang has been looking at Ning Tian and asked with a smile.
"What's wrong?"
Ning Tian hesitated for a moment and then slightly opened his red lips.
"Tianhuang, my family may come to Shrek City in a few days."
"Your parents?" Xu Zihuang raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"No, it's an elder in the family. He said that the Star Dou Forest has not been peaceful in the past two years, and he plans to accompany me personally to obtain the fourth soul ring. He also knows what happened between us, and asked someone to tell me in a letter.
He said he really wanted to see you."
Ning Tian blushed and shook his head, then raised his head and looked at Xu Zihuang. Although his expression did not change much, there was expectation hidden deep in his eyes.
"Then let's meet. Since that senior is your elder, isn't he also my elder?" Xu Zihuang didn't have any fear. From Ning Tian's words, he guessed that the elder he was talking about might be
At least he is a Titled Douluo level expert, so there is nothing wrong with becoming a familiar face.
"Yes." Ning Tian whispered softly, with a slight nasal sound and a hint of joy. After meeting the elders and getting their approval, the profound meaning was different.
Thinking of this, she stopped with the blush on her pretty face unabated, and Xu Zihuang lowered the oil umbrella he held up with understanding.
The fine rain and the red leaves on both sides of the road are still falling, falling on the ground, on the surface of Poseidon Lake, and on the oil umbrellas.
Under the soul guide street lamp, Xu Zihuang stood on the same spot, while Ning Tian stood on his tiptoes, and the light and shadow overlapped.
This picture seems to be frozen at this moment.
It seems like a moment, but it is also eternity.
But this beautiful picture was broken by a black-haired boy who passed by the two of them quickly.
"Puff, puff, puff -" water splashed in the deep sound of footsteps.
The young man, like Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian, both came from the soul guidance system experimental area.
He is only 1.6 meters tall at most and has a slim build. Under his messy black hair are a pair of dark blue eyes. He is obviously a vigorous young man, but his temperament is very gloomy.
Xu Zihuang's golden oil umbrella was raised again, and his and Ning Tian's faces were also revealed.
There wasn't much difference seen from the expressions of the two of them. Only Ning Tian's slightly heaving chest and the mist in his eyes proved that what just happened was not an illusion.
Noticing the young man's appearance, Xu Zihuang's mind moved slightly.
"Huo Yuhao."
Yes, the boy passing by them was Huo Yuhao. Fourteen-year-old Huo Yuhao was not even as tall as many eleven-year-old first-year students. Long-term malnutrition caused him to miss the best period of physical development.
Without an umbrella, he was particularly embarrassed in the rain. He seemed to feel Xu Zihuang's gaze, stopped and looked back. But when he saw Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian acting intimately, he bit his lips tightly and turned around quickly. Run away.
Envy, jealousy, dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, all kinds of negative emotions surged in his heart, and his dark blue eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes.
Of course, Huo Yuhao's outburst was not just because of these. It was more the result of the accumulation of negative emotions for a long time. He was too depressed. Although he showed some talent in making soul guidance tools, he still didn't get it in the soul guidance system. Too much emphasis. After all, his soul power level is just like that. Although he studies in the soul guidance department, this is Shrek Academy after all. It is impossible to ignore cultivation talents at all like the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy. , which directly relies on drugs that stimulate potential to improve soul power.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao has a withdrawn personality, so students from the Soul Guidance Department will naturally not get close to him.
Huo Yuhao, who followed Beibei's suggestion and made Yu Tianhuang his target, has only received blows in the past year and a half. His envy and jealousy towards Yu Tianhuang also began to brew, developing in a more negative direction.
Why is it that while he is still on the verge of being dropped out of school despite trying his best to practice, Yu Tianhuang can enjoy the colorful college life while easily achieving achievements that are difficult to achieve in his life? Why?!
This was not the first time that he had raised such questions in his mind.
He began to resent and resent that the world was unfair. If this continued, how could he obtain the power of revenge and cut off the inheritance of the White Tiger Duke?
Xu Zihuang looked away, not paying much attention to Huo Yuhao, and led Ning Tian towards the area where the martial arts system was located.
"Let's go."
Ning Tian's shyness would only show up in front of Xu Zihuang. After Huo Yuhao's interruption just now, she returned to her usual graceful appearance.
But her cherry lips were obviously much redder than before.
