After hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Xuan Lao said without hesitation: "No, although we haven't torn our faces apart, the other party is not a fool. He must have left a backup plan. Let's hide in the western suburbs first and then make plans."

On the other side, Du Bu Si saw that the situation was hopeless and left with everyone from the Body Sect.

In a deserted corner somewhere, Du Bu Si put his hands behind his back and looked at everyone and said, "Han Yu is competing now. Let's not act rashly. Let's see what's going on over there."

Everyone said, "Yes, Master."

Western suburbs.

The air in the western suburbs was filled with the scent of grass and soil, and in the distance there were faint sounds of birds chirping, clear and melodious.

The evening sun shone on Ye Yulin's face, adding a touch of warmth to his tense expression.

His previously furrowed brows gradually relaxed like the surface of a lake brushed by the breeze.

The ever-changing colors in the sky above Mingdu are like paints splashed by an artist, interweaving into a strange painting in the air.

Ordinary people may only see the gorgeous light and shadow, but cannot understand the mystery behind it.

But Ye Yulin is different, he is a strong man, a strong man who has a deep understanding of the sky.

He keenly captured every change of color and every fluctuation of light.

In particular, his title is Starry Sky. He is extremely sensitive to anything that happens in the starry sky, as if he was born with this sense.

At this moment, the sky above Mingdu finally returned to calm, like the calm after a storm, peaceful and tranquil.

The ever-changing colors gradually dissipated and finally returned to a clear blue.

It seems that the empire has taken control of the situation and eliminated the crisis.

The stone in Ye Yulin's heart finally fell to the ground.

As a staunch supporter of Xu Tianran, Ye Yulin knew the defense system of the Mingdu Palace very well. He was also one of the main participants in the design of the palace.

He knew very well how strong and indestructible the palace's defenses were.

Even for a top powerhouse like Extreme Douluo, it is not easy to break through the defense of the palace.

He was full of confidence and firmly believed that the palace could resist any external threats.

The palace's fortifications were not activated, which showed that the enemy was no longer a threat and there was no need to deploy powerful defensive forces.

Although the opponent launched the attack in the air, if the palace used a large number of level eight and level nine soul guide cannons to counterattack, the noise would inevitably be earth-shattering and cause panic among the people.

Now that everything has returned to calm, it can only mean that the matter has been resolved satisfactorily.

The crisis in Mingdu was resolved, and Ye Yulin was completely relieved.

However, the situation on this side of the game made him a little worried.

The competition was already halfway through, but the young man named Han had not yet started to create the core array. His movements also slowed down, and he seemed a little tired.

He was still concentrating on making various delicate parts, and Ye Yulin couldn't help but admire the exquisiteness of those parts.

Ye Yulin carefully observed Han's production process and found that the design of those parts was very novel. Both the spring device and the mechanical joints showed a unique ingenuity, which gave him a lot of inspiration.

And looking at the appearance of this young man, he is clearly very familiar with these things.

However, the things this kid made were indeed exquisite, and the concept was quite unique. However, after all, soul guides still rely on the core array to drive them! Without the core array, even the most exquisite parts are just decorations.

As a ninth-level soul master, Ye Yulin has been immersed in this field for many years, so he naturally saw through Han Yu's little thoughts at a glance.

This guy wants to use some special parts and devices to replace the functions of some core magic arrays, so as to reduce the number of core magic arrays and reduce the difficulty of production.

This is a good idea, very creative, and it also reflects this kid's deep understanding of the structure of soul guides.

However, the structure of the humanoid soul guide is complex. Even if some of the core arrays are replaced with spare parts, the number of core arrays that need to be engraved is still huge.

The game was already halfway through, why hadn't he started engraving the core array yet? Would he really have enough time if he continued like this?
The more Ye Yulin looked at it, the more anxious he became. He felt like there was a rabbit in his heart, jumping up and down, and he couldn't calm down.

This kid has skillful techniques, steady speed and superb skills. It's obvious at first glance that he has great potential.

It would be such a pity for such an outstanding young man to be eliminated because he failed to complete his work. The more Ye Yulin thought about it, the more regretful he felt, and he even thought about taking him in as a disciple.

Although he didn't know who Han Yu's master was, given his status in the soul guide world, it would be easy for him to take in a disciple. He was a top figure, so who wouldn't want to be his master?

As time passed, Ye Yulin became more and more anxious.

He began to worry. Was this kid really going to be eliminated because he couldn't finish his work? That would be really disappointing.

Thinking of this, Ye Yulin couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He didn't pay special attention to Han Yu at the beginning, so he missed many details of his making parts.

It's too late to see clearly now. This kid is too cunning. He deliberately placed the parts in a mess. Only his powerful mental power can find the pattern among them.

He left all the splicing work, including the splicing between parts, to the last minute, which is really puzzling.

This kid is really a worry! When can I start engraving the core array? He made too many parts, at least more than 200 parts, can they all be used? Is he going to put these humanoid soul guides together into a giant robot? This idea is too bold! Ye Yulin couldn't help but guess secretly in his heart.

What exactly is this guy up to? What exactly is he going to do? Is he really sure he can finish the work in the remaining time? Ye Yulin's heart was full of doubts. He stared at Han Yu intently, afraid of missing any details.

He was eager to know what kind of miracle this young man would create.

The parts he made were of many types and shapes, some as big as a palm and some as small as a grain of rice. Each one was extremely delicate, as smooth as a mirror, and sparkling with a metallic luster.

These parts are scattered on the workbench, seemingly in disarray, yet they reveal a certain pattern.

Ye Yulin carefully observed these parts, trying to find some clues from them, but the more he looked, the more confused he became, and he had no idea what these parts were used for.

He even began to suspect whether this guy was deliberately being mysterious and doing some useless things to confuse others.

Time passed minute by minute, and Han Yu was still making parts slowly and leisurely, with no intention of starting to engrave the core magic circle.

Ye Yulin became more and more anxious. He felt like an ant on a hot pan, unable to sit still.

He couldn't help but want to remind Han Yu, but he was worried about disturbing Han Yu's thoughts, so he finally held back.

He could only pray silently, hoping that this kid would be able to complete the work and not disappoint his expectations. After all, it would be a pity for such an outstanding young man to be eliminated due to lack of time.

There are at least more than two hundred parts. Can they all be assembled into the humanoid soul guide?

It was the right decision to come here today! Ye Yulin was secretly glad in his heart. A premonition surged in his heart that this young man, this young man named Han Yu, might really be able to create a miracle.

He looked at Han Yu intently, hoping to see a glimmer of success from him.

In order to see more clearly, Ye Yulin even stood up from his seat, his eyes fixed on Han Yu, unwilling to miss any details.

Han Yu was concentrating on operating the soul guide production table. Various precious and rare metal parts were scattered on the ground around him, shining like stars. His handsome face was covered with sweat and his brows were furrowed, showing his inner tension and concentration.

Ye Yulin is not the only one who pays attention to Han Yu.

Of the seven referees present, at least three had their eyes focused on the young man.

They all felt the extraordinary aura emanating from Han Yu, a vigorous force that was about to break through its limits.

At the same time, below the competition stage, the deputy leader of the Holy Spirit Cult sat in the rest area, his expression as calm as water.

The hustle and bustle coming from the Ming capital city didn't seem to affect her at all. She seemed to be in another world, indifferent to everything around her.

Not until the noise in the city gradually died down did she snort softly, with a barely perceptible hint of disdain in her nasal tone.

A faint smile appeared on Nangong Wan's face. He knew that those soul masters who tried to break through had failed.

If they choose to break out from the west, let them go, the defense in the west is relatively weak anyway.

This soul guide manufacturing competition is certainly important, but it is not important enough for the deputy leader and four elders of the Holy Spirit Church to be in charge at the same time.

They appeared here to intimidate those soul masters who were ready to make a move, and let them know that the West is not defenseless.

As long as someone dares to break out from the west, the Holy Spirit Church will have completed its basic mission.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Han Yu's forehead. His high concentration made him feel exhausted.

The separated spirit body has been away from the main body for too long, and side effects begin to gradually appear.

Although the soul and mental power are separated, they still have a close connection with the main body.

As time goes by, this connection will gradually weaken. Once the connection is completely cut off, the separated spirit body will completely disintegrate and disappear between heaven and earth.

Although Xue Di once said that this situation would not shake Han Yu's foundation, if it really happened, Han Yu would inevitably suffer a heavy blow and the current game would fail.

An inexplicable worry surged into Ye Yulin's heart, and he prayed silently, hoping that this young man could get through the difficulties safely and create a miracle.

However, some things cannot be rushed. Many things require adequate preparation!

I was extremely anxious, but I had to force myself to calm down.

For some things, haste makes waste, and you have to proceed step by step and make full preparations. One wrong step will lead to a complete loss, and he cannot afford such a risk.

Time passed by minute by minute, as if solidifying into sticky syrup, making him feel suffocated.

Faster, faster! His inner cry almost burst out of his throat.

The production of parts is nearing completion, and various rare metals used to make the core magic array are also ready.

Han Yu's eyes fell on the materials that shone with metallic luster, but a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

His mental state is extremely weak now, and he is simply unable to perform the delicate carving of the core magic circle.

In this state, let alone carving complex magic arrays, even holding the carving knife steadily seems difficult.

He had to wait, wait for the moment when his mental strength would recover.

But waiting is so painful.

This is during competition, and any unusual behavior may arouse suspicion.

Below the stage, the deputy leader of the Holy Spirit Church and the four elders stared at him like poisonous snakes, making him feel uneasy.

They were all Title Douluo-level evil spirit masters, with unfathomable strength. If he noticed anything unusual, the consequences would be disastrous.

If he were attacked, his disguise would be torn off and he would be exposed to everyone.

By then, everything he had carefully planned would come to naught.

No, we must not let them find out!

He had to stay calm and not reveal any flaws.

Hurry up, time goes faster!

He was feeling anxious, but he had to control his emotions.

The materials for making the core magic array have been prepared. Eighteen pieces of rare metals of different colors are lined up in front of him, emitting a faint metallic luster.

These are all top-quality materials that he carefully selected, and each piece is priceless.

The previously completed parts were scattered on the ground, waiting to be integrated with the core magic circle.

According to his and Xuan Ziwen's research results, the simplest humanoid soul guide also requires eighteen core magic arrays.

This is the simplified solution he proposed, and it is also the best solution that can be achieved at present.

Han Yu didn't dare to stop what he was doing. He picked up the carving knife and began to carve the general shapes of these rare metals.

The delicate carving work can only be done after the mental strength is restored.

The carving knife flew in his hand, and metal fragments fell one after another, as if time was passing faster with the rhythm of the blade.

Soon, the rough shapes of eighteen pieces of rare metals were carved.

Can’t stop, absolutely can’t stop!
The thought was like a nail stuck in his mind.

He had to stay busy and not let anyone know anything.

Otherwise, even if his spiritual body returns, he may be in danger.

Those evil soul masters are best at dealing with souls, and he cannot give them any chance to take advantage.

Since he couldn't carve the core magic circle, what else could he do?

There is only one answer: to splice humanoid soul guides.

This is the only thing he can do at the moment, and what he must do.

Han Yu flicked his hands downwards, and his fingertips seemed to have magnetic force. Seven or eight parts scattered on the ground rose up and flew into his hands as if they were summoned.

He held one part in his left hand and picked up another in his right hand. His fingers fluttered like a butterfly dancing among flowers. The parts rotated and pieced together in his hands, making slight clicking sounds.

A delicate little joint was born in his hand, shining with metallic luster. (End of this chapter)
