Douluo 2: This Dragon God has too much martial virtue

“This soul guide is called the Sleeve Cannon. It is a relatively common type of long-range soul guide. It is activated by soul power. Look.” As he spoke, He Caitou raised his hand. Suddenly, three white lights spewed out from the three metal tubes. Strong soul power fluctuations shot into the distance and hit the metal wall in the distance, spreading out circles of halos.

"The principle of soul guides is actually very simple. It is to transform soul power into destructive energy through some special methods and means. Among these means, the most commonly used is compression. And the way to achieve these means is to engrave magic arrays."

He Caitou removed the cannon from his left arm and slowly disassembled the soul guide under the gaze of Huo Yuhao and the others. He explained as he did so, “The main body of a soul guide is generally divided into three parts: the outer shell, the inner shell, and the core. The outer shell is what you see, and it must be made of the hardest and most heat-resistant metal so that it will not be easily damaged during long-term use. The inner shell is different. The biggest feature of the inner shell is that it amplifies and conducts soul power. Therefore, the inner shell needs to be made of very precious conductive metals, such as crystal silver.”

"By amplifying the soul power through the inner shell, we can consume as little soul power as possible when using the soul guide. Therefore, our soul guides below level seven have stronger sustained combat capabilities than soul masters. The core is the key among the keys, and it needs to be made of the most precious metals and gems. Different levels of soul power are required to activate different magic arrays. Accordingly, the materials of the inner shell and outer shell must also change. The core can be said to be everything in the soul guide, and engraving the core magic array is also the most important thing for a soul guide."

"When evaluating soul masters, the most important assessment is engraving the core array. If you can engrave a core array of a certain level and your soul power reaches the same level, then you can be considered a soul master of that level."

“Brother He, is this what you are talking about?” Huo Yuhao took out a piece of silver-white metal from the storage soul guide and slowly injected soft soul power into it.

The metal block immediately emitted a distinct white light, and the soft halo turned into a beam of light that rose up to a full foot high. The white halo was straight and firm, without the slightest sway.

He Caitou looked at Huo Yuhao with a dull look in his eyes, "This...did you do this?"

Huo Yuhao nodded, took out a blue-gold metal block from the storage soul guide, and repeated the same procedure in front of He Caitou.

"Did you do this too?" He Caitou asked with difficulty. This is the core of a second-level soul guide!

“This doesn’t count. My sister taught me how to carve it.” Huo Yuhao shook his head honestly.

He Caitou suddenly felt like he was showing off his skills in front of Mu Xing. He was able to guide a novice to successfully carve a second-level core formation, but he felt that he, a third-level soul instructor, could not do it.

Ning Tian once again deepened his impression that Long Pavilion does not keep idle people.

"Junior, can I ask you how long you have been studying soul guides?" He Caitou rubbed his hands and smiled innocently.

“It’s been more than four months.” Huo Yuhao thought for a while, “But I only focused on learning how to carve the core formation, and I didn’t learn much about forging.” After all, the metal materials he used for practice had already been purified.

In Mu Xing's words, "Don't waste time on things that can be solved with money."

What Huo Yuhao lacked the most was time, so he was not stingy in spending money on this.

He Caitou almost shed tears of envy. Until now, he still had to forge iron by himself to get the materials for carving the formation. These guys are really rich! No wonder the teacher encouraged him to eat gigolo!

"Teacher! Teacher, come quickly!" He Caitou suddenly shouted at Fanyu who was doing an experiment.

"You better be in trouble!" Fan Yu put down the work in his hands and walked over angrily.

He Caitou picked up Huo Yuhao from his seat and handed him directly to Fan Yu, just like handing him a kitten.

"This junior fellow has studied soul guides for more than four months and can already make a second-level soul guide core formation!"

“No! Don’t flatter me, big brother. The success rate is not very high!” Huo Yuhao looked at Fan Yu, who had a dazed look on his face, and added, “This is the only successful second-level soul guide core formation.”

The only thought in Fan Yu's mind was that the situation was off the mark. Not to mention asking him to personally guide him, even those ninth-level soul instructors might not be able to teach such a genius.

“Huo Yuhao, huh?” Fan Yu still had some impression of this young man. He took the soul guide core formation from Huo Yuhao’s hand and looked at it. “Now carve a level 2 core for me.”

“Teacher, I already said that was the only time that I succeeded. If you let me carve a level one core, I can guarantee a success rate of more than 95 percent.” Huo Yuhao spread his hands and turned to look at He Caitou. “Brother He, can you put me down first?”

"Sorry, sorry, I'm too excited!" He Caitou let go of his hand and touched the back of his head.

"It's okay, just go ahead and carve it. Just use the blue copper you used to carve the second-level soul guide core array. It doesn't matter if you fail." Fan Yu insisted. You know, the complexity of the second-level array core is at least three times that of the first-level core. He would know if the boy was exaggerating after trying it.

What Fan Yu didn't know was that from the day Huo Yuhao started learning to engrave magic arrays, he showed his true genius in soul guide making. Not only was he calmer than his peers, but he also had an innate advantage, which was his spiritual eyes. With his spiritual eyes martial spirit, his eyesight was at least several times that of an ordinary person.

The engraving of the core magic array often failed due to slight errors, but this almost never happened to Huo Yuhao. His failure in engraving the second-level core was purely due to insufficient soul power.

Huo Yuhao subconsciously glanced at Mu Xing, who responded with an encouraging look and woke up the golden shaded tiger and the little fire dragon who were sleeping soundly and had no idea what was going on.

"Get up and watch Yuhao show off!"

“You make me feel very stressed.” Huo Yuhao sat in front of a metal table and took out a hexagonal metal block about the size of a walnut from the storage soul guide. He held a long and slender carving knife in his right hand and began to carve carefully on the blue-gold metal block. Complex patterns were gradually engraved on it.

His movements were slow, but his hands were steady, and every time the knife fell, it was very steady and firm. Fan Yu's eyes gradually changed from suspicion to shock. Could this kid really be a genius?

Huo Yuhao’s eyes radiated a pale golden glow, and he stared for a long time without even blinking. Time passed by minute by minute, but his body remained motionless like a sculpture. Only a few fingers were controlling the small carving knife, which was slowly engraving with the injection of soul power. Even the rhythm of engraving did not change at all.

Fan Yu's eyes couldn't help but sparkle with surprise, and even his hands behind his back slowly clenched into fists.
