DD2—Chapter 47: Are You Going to Use This to Test the Genius Soul Engineer?
Huo Yuhao looked at the two of them and said, "Seniors, I am not short of materials at the moment, so you don't need to do this."
He had no interest in Zi Mu and Wang Shaojie's proposals. After all, these two couldn't provide any good materials. In the world of soul engineers, the range of materials is very wide, and rare metals are just one type of material for making soul guidance devices.
Take the eighth-level melee soul guidance device, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword, for example. Its core material is not a rare metal but the soul bone of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. Because it utilizes that soul bone, this soul guidance device also possesses a solidified soul bone skill: the Tyrant Sword Slash.
Zi Mu and Wang Shaojie were stunned for a moment, then both showed awkward expressions on their faces.
Then Wang Shaojie said shamelessly, "Brother Huo, but I always feel that there is something wrong with those materials. If you, a genius soul engineer, can give me some guidance, I think the problem with those materials may be solved. Moreover, there is a soul bone among those materials!"
His cousin is a member of the Imperial Patrol, which is under the command of the Third Prince. The Third Prince is currently Xu Tianran's strongest competitor because he has the support of the Imperial family and is now at the peak of his career.
However, compared to the Crown Prince, the Third Prince is still far inferior. Once His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, even with the Imperial family's backing, the Third Prince's life will probably not be easy. After all, the Third Prince is not Xu Tianzhen, the most favored person in the Imperial family.
If the Third Prince has a hard time, how good will his life be?
Therefore, for the sake of his future, even if he had to give away his family's thousand-year-old soul bones, he would seize the opportunity to get close to a talented soul engineer. No matter who becomes emperor, such a talented soul engineer will be valued!
After hearing this, Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Shaojie in surprise.
Are you going to use this to test the genius soul engineer? Which genius soul engineer cannot withstand such a test?
For him, there was no shortage of soul bones. After all, he was a genius that even Kong Deming valued. With Kong Deming's prestige in the empire, it was not difficult for him to find a complete set of soul bones. Of course, for Huo Yuhao, the most important thing was the right soul bones.
Xuan Ziwen came over and said helplessly, "The hall master and I will fully support Yuhao's material needs, even for soul bones. As for the two of you, please don't bother Yuhao anymore."
Wang Shaojie gave up, and he and Zi Mu walked aside obediently.
Xuan Ziwen looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Yuhao, start now. I hope your soul guidance device can always bring me surprises."
He was confident that Huo Yuhao would pass the test, but he didn't know what kind of third-level soul guidance device Huo Yuhao would make.
To him, some of Huo Yuhao's ideas were very novel, and he lived up to the title of genius soul engineer.
"Okay, Teacher." Huo Yuhao nodded, and then he began to make the soul guidance device while the people on the side watched Huo Yuhao's movements intently.
After a while, Huo Yuhao pointed to a black metal disc on the table and said, "Teacher Xuan, this is the third-level soul guidance device I made."
Xuan Ziwen was stunned for a moment and took a quick look at the black metal disc, finding a strange pattern on its top.
Based on the production process he had just seen, he also knew that Huo Yuhao had engraved two charging arrays, three soul power detection arrays, and one array that he did not recognize on this disc. The array that he did not recognize should be the one developed by Huo Yuhao himself.
The profession of soul engineering has a long history and has a systematic set of knowledge. The core magic array is one of the most important contents of this knowledge. Of course, the core magic array is something created by humans. In this world, the number of core magic arrays is not static but continues to increase with the development of the times.
"So, what is the function of this thing?" Xuan Ziwen's mind was full of questions. Because other students were around, he did not ask Huo Yuhao directly but began to study this soul guidance device.
The others also looked at this strange soul-guidance device with confusion.
"Could it be that Huo Yuhao failed in making a third-level soul guidance device?" A thought flashed through Wang Shaojie's mind, but he immediately rejected the idea because Huo Yuhao was a genius soul engineer; he couldn't fail.
Xuan Ziwen studied it for a while, then heaved a long sigh and said with some disappointment, "Yuhao, I can only confirm that this soul guidance device has the function of detecting soul power. However, if it can only detect soul power, the soul guidance detector that the Sun Moon Empire is researching can completely replace it."
He wondered if he had too high expectations of Huo Yuhao, leading him to push Huo Yuhao too hard, which resulted in Huo Yuhao's creativity drying up. For a moment, Xuan Ziwen felt a little guilty. After all, the other party was just a child, and he shouldn't have placed such huge expectations on someone so young.
"Teacher, you are right. It does have the function of detecting soul power, but it can also be used to distinguish different soul powers," Huo Yuhao explained patiently.
"Distinguish soul powers?" Xuan Ziwen was a little confused.
"Yes, different soul powers. For example, if two academies compete in the fighting arena and one of them cheats secretly through off-field assistance to win, do you think this is fair?"
"It's unfair. So, the third-level soul guidance device you designed is used to prevent cheating?" Xuan Ziwen was a little surprised.
"Yes, its core function is to remember the soul power fluctuations of soul masters. Once soul power fluctuations beyond its memory appear within its detection range, it will immediately issue an early warning. However, due to its level, it can only remember the soul power fluctuations of the Soul Emperor level at most," Huo Yuhao said.
The level and effectiveness of soul guidance devices are not equal, and not all soul guidance devices can reach the upper limit of level nine. Take the invincible shield, for example, level five can withstand a Soul Douluo for three seconds, but in Douluo II, the strongest invincible shield is only level seven. Of course, the original author did not specify how strong level seven is, but the level six invincible shield can withstand a Titled Douluo for three seconds!
He had no other choice. After all, Shrek Academy and Tang Sect had a tradition of cheating, and he was not from Shrek. Therefore, when the Envoy of the Death God (Death Messenger) took action this time, without his spiritual detection and warning, more people from Shrek Academy would die.
So he used some relatively precious rare metals to create this thing.
If the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy met Shrek in this competition, given the nature of Shrek Academy, they would cheat to maintain their thousand-year glory!
After all, the Envoy of the Death God was too powerful, and it was too difficult for Shrek to win without cheating. Therefore, once Shrek had the idea of cheating, he had to stop them.
