DD2—Chapter 12: Level 1 Soul Engineer Assessment
"More importantly, this kind of soul guidance device can only be activated by a soul master. If one day I can develop a ninth-level soul guidance device that ordinary people can use, then I will die without regrets," Xuan Ziwen said with some emotion.
After hearing this, Huo Yuhao immediately cheered him up, "Come on, Teacher Xuan, I believe you can do it."
Xuan Ziwen smiled bitterly and said, "Huo Yuhao, I am not even a ninth-level soul engineer yet. I am still a long way from achieving this goal. In my lifetime, I will not see the day when ordinary people can use a ninth-level soul guidance device.
Although I have always made it my life goal to create powerful or unique soul guidance devices, because I am an eight-ringed soul Douluo, I cannot create a ninth-level soul guidance device no matter what. If I had the cultivation level of a Titled Douluo, I would be able to become a ninth-level soul engineer."
Huo Yuhao's expression changed slightly. To be honest, Xuan Ziwen was not bragging.
After all, in the original novel, Xuan Ziwen's talent in soul engineering is very good, but his cultivation is not sufficient. Later, he relied on Huo Yuhao's help to break through to Titled Douluo and then became the first ninth-level soul engineer in the original Douluo Continent, gaining respect from many people.
Of course, Xuan Ziwen's reputation with the future Sun-Moon Emperor Xu Tianran was not very good. After all, Xuan Ziwen, a second-generation Sun-Moon man, got a green card, learned the skills, and then went to Tang Sect. From Xu Tianran's perspective, this was essentially a defection.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Put the soul guidance gun on the experimental table, and let's start the class. If your performance today satisfies me, I will give you this soft-bone rabbit for dinner."
Xuan Ziwen patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and then led him to another experimental table.
"Wow, you let me have a soft-bone rabbit for dinner? Xuan Ziwen, your suggestion is really brave!"
However, thinking that God King Tang did not have time to observe each soft-bone rabbit and that this body possessed a full-level talent for grilled fish, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt greedy. He thought that grilled fish and grilled rabbit should be similar in many aspects, so his eyes involuntarily moved to the soft-bone rabbit nearby. He could already imagine how delicious the soft-bone rabbit would be.
To be honest, this rabbit was quite fat and should have a lot of meat. It should taste very good when roasted.
"Making the core magic array is certainly important, but if we want to become soul engineers, we need to learn to use soul guidance devices to forge metal. Human power will eventually be limited.
Using soul guidance devices to forge metal can greatly improve forging efficiency and quality, so this soul guidance forging instrument is an auxiliary tool for us." As he spoke, he led Huo Yuhao to forge metal using a special soul-guidance forging instrument.
This aspect is much more advanced than the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy.
After all, in the original novel, Huo Yuhao went to Shrek Academy to learn about soul guidance devices. He started by learning forging from Fan Yu, using the "Tang Sect's unique skill, the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Technique."
To be honest, the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer is an ancestral item of the Clear Sky Sect. However, in the Second Stage of Douluo Dalu, the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Technique became a unique skill in the hidden weapon section of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.
Therefore, the copyright of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Technique has been granted to God King Tang.
What is the Clear Sky Sect? Unfamiliar.
Of course, it must be said that manual forging is a waste of time and is far behind. After all, how can manual forging compare with soul guidance forging?
Moreover, Douluo Dalu II doesn't have many forging settings like Douluo Dalu III, and Fan Yu is not an exceptional craftsman from Douluo Dalu III, so why should we forge metals manually?
Although Fan Yu is a little inexperienced, he is at least an eighth-level soul engineer. Logically speaking, soul engineers have more advanced ideas. After all, this is a profession that requires thinking.
Therefore, Fan Yu shouldn't be incapable of considering such a thing.
Could it be that Fan Yu, who is an eighth-level soul engineer, has been mentally constrained by the Sea God Tang San? Can't think of a way to improve efficiency?
After some time, under Xuan Ziwen's instruction, Huo Yuhao mastered the method of forging metal using soul-guidance forging instruments. Xuan Ziwen then began to impart knowledge on engraving core formations, teaching Huo Yuhao how to identify metals. He can be said to have taught Huo Yuhao all the knowledge he had without reservation.
After all, Huo Yuhao was no longer an exchange student at Shrek but a true student of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. Xuan Ziwen had no reason to hide anything.
Huo Yuhao studied very hard. After all, being a soul engineer meant quick money. In this world, as long as he had enough gold soul coins, he could buy some rare treasures that would have no side effects as long as he did not take too much, which could improve his physical condition. That would not be a problem.
He had no choice. After all, the foundation of Huo Yuhao in the original novel was too weak. He could not be compared with people like Bei Bei. Although Huo Yuhao had the cheat, he also needed a good body to use it freely.
Time flew.
Twenty days later.
Huo Yuhao stood in the laboratory, holding a blue carving knife. He looked at the forged metal on the table and asked, "Teacher Xuan, can I start now?"
"Well, let's start. As long as you can make a qualified first-level soul guidance device, I can recognize you as a first-level soul engineer. Of course, in my presence, the qualification standard may be higher. Remember, in my eyes, low level is not a problem; the problem is the lack of ideas and creativity. For a soul engineer, losing ideas and creativity is undoubtedly an extremely terrible thing," Xuan Ziwen said with a serious expression.
"Okay, Teacher Xuan." Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, then picked up a piece of silver-white metal and began to use the carving knife to engrave the core magic array. As he worked, a large amount of silver-white powder fell from his hands.
Of course, the carving knife in his hand was not the one from the ranking list. This kind of thing was rare and too expensive, which he could not afford.
"After the Star Luo Empire auction begins, I will be able to get the carving knife made of life gold," he muttered to himself and then poured all his effort into engraving the core magic array. Passing the first-level soul engineer assessment was crucial for him. After all, it meant an increase in both status and income.
Soon, some complicated patterns appeared on the silver metal in his hand. After a while, a silver-white spherical object appeared on the laboratory table with a pull ring on the top of the small sphere.
"Teacher Xuan, my first-level soul guidance device is complete," Huo Yuhao said.
Xuan Ziwen had watched the entire process of Huo Yuhao making the soul guidance device. He looked at the small sphere and slowly frowned, "You have engraved four core arrays in its core: a sonic attack array, a sound amplification array, a charging array, and a lighting array.
Although these core magic arrays are all level one, engraving four magic arrays on such a small piece of metal shows that you have good talent."
