Chapter 110: Practice Confirmation

Chapter 110: Practice Confirmation
The main hall of the Body Sect.

At this time, only Du Bu Si and Huo Yuhao were in the hall. Even the elders of the Body Sect were meditating and digesting their gains from the past few days.

“Yuhao, do you want to study soul guides?” Du Bu Si’s first reaction after hearing Huo Yuhao’s idea was to refuse, and at the same time he was a little confused.

Previously, after Du Bu Si successfully broke through to the Ultimate Douluo level, when he came out of seclusion, he used his soul power and understanding of poison to conduct a baptism for all the disciples in the Body Sect for three days and three nights.

During these three days, everyone from the Titled Douluo in the sect to the ordinary disciples of the Body Sect benefited a lot.

At the same time, during this process, Du Bu Si, with his subtle control over the poison, laid a solid foundation for everyone, thus preparing them for their future practice based on Huo Yuhao's theory.

However, after Du Bu Si had taken back his soul power, he was visited by Huo Yuhao. Because Jin Peng was in seclusion, Du Bu Si had originally planned to sort out the backlog of affairs in the sect and hand them over to other elders.

However, he did not expect to hear from Huo Yuhao an idea that would have seemed extremely rebellious to previous soul masters.

Although Du Bu Si has changed his opinion on soul guides now, he also understands that the threat posed by soul guides is indeed worthy of attention. However, the foundation of the Tianhun Empire in the research and development of soul guides is still too weak.

Even though the Body Sect plundered a group of high-quality soul guides from Mingde Hall, it only solved the most troubling start-up problem for the Tianhun Empire.

However, the Sky Soul Empire undoubtedly still lacks a considerable amount of time to develop before its research on soul guides can get on track and begin to catch up with the research progress of the Sun-Moon Empire in soul guides.

Moreover, for the soul masters of their Benti Sect, it is enough for the soul guide to be usable. As for how to make it, there is no need for them to do too much research.

In this situation, if Huo Yuhao said he wanted to study soul guides, wouldn’t that be a waste of his talent?

Huo Yuhao just smiled upon hearing this, and then continued, “That’s not what I meant. I don’t want to be a soul guide. Master, I just want to study the high-level soul guides that you brought back from Mingde Hall.”

"Through the coordination of martial soul, soul skills and mental power, I can simulate most soul skills and combat skills. Master, you are naturally quite clear about this."

"Although the soul guide device is said to be a soul skill-like effect produced by the soul guide core array, for me, the operation of the soul guide core array is also a part that can be completely simulated."

"Although the working logic of the soul guide core array is different from that of ordinary soul skills in most cases."

"But the final form of expression is not much different from normal spirit skills, and it is even better. The concept used in it coincides with the direction of my disciple's practice."

"So, based on this, I want to study the soul guidance core arrays in these high-level soul guidance devices to improve my understanding of combat."

"I have a pretty good understanding of the sect's combat skills and the spirit skills used by the sect members, so I want to start from a new aspect to gain inspiration."

“Also, as the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. Although I am not planning to become a soul guide, by studying the soul guide core arrays of these soul guides, I can also form a certain understanding of soul guides, so that I can better fight against them.”

After listening to Huo Yuhao’s words, Du Bu Si nodded thoughtfully: “I see. However, biting off more than you can chew, Yuhao, you still need to focus on your own cultivation.”

"But before that, we did bring out a lot of high-quality soul guides from Mingde Hall, and even brought out an extremely special soul guide."

"It's just that we don't understand how to drive and control it, so we put it away."

"Since you have this idea, Yuhao, then instead of leaving it there to collect dust, why not give it to you, Yuhao, to study. If you can get some inspiration from it, it will be a good thing."

"But this item is not with me at the moment. I left it in Tiandou City. It just so happens that I will have to deal with the alliance with other sects in a while, so I can bring it back when the time comes."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao did not hesitate too much. After all, he had learned about the research results of the humanoid soul guide of the Sun-Moon Empire from the original novel, and this trip was just for this thing.

Although he didn't know that due to the butterfly effect, the humanoid soul guide was subtly different from the original.

However, in the original book, although this humanoid soul guide device is extremely bulky and unusable, it is indeed the culmination of the soul guide device skills of the Sun-Moon Empire.

He had also learned from Du Bu Si before that during the invasion of Mingde Hall, the Body Sect did find a similar soul guide and brought it back.

For Huo Yuhao, this is what he wanted. If he could get this humanoid soul guide to analyze it, he could get a glimpse of the whole situation with the help of the Eye of Truth.

Huo Yuhao could at least use this to understand the operation modes, weak links and control methods of more than 90% of the soul guides of the Sun-Moon Empire.

Apart from some top soul guides that have the same important research results as humanoid soul guides but have different research directions and technological developments, Huo Yuhao is confident that he can turn 90% of the soul guides of the Sun Moon Empire into a pile of scrap metal in front of him.

Although soul guides are the same as soul masters, they control energy by adjusting the trajectory of soul power to create various soul skill effects.

However, unlike soul masters who are made of flesh and blood, although soul guides are more resistant to damage and wear due to their own materials, they also have advantages and disadvantages. Similarly, repairing them is far from as easy as treating a soul master.

As for the soul power core array in the soul guide device, as the carrier of the soul power operation trajectory of the soul guide device, its requirement for precision is self-evident. And this precision naturally brings a disguised weakness to the soul guide device.

That is, if the key nodes of the soul guide core array are damaged, the effectiveness of the entire soul guide may be greatly reduced, or even directly destroyed.

Therefore, when designing soul guides, in addition to the most important soul guide core arrays, soul engineers will also design thick and durable shells for the soul guides to protect the operation of the soul guide core arrays.

At the same time, on this basis, soul masters will also set up multiple soul guide core arrays to maintain the safety of the most important soul guide core arrays.

Even the design of the soul guide core array itself will be mixed with a lot of complicated structures to resist external attacks. Although these measures will greatly increase the carving steps and production difficulty of the soul guide core array, they can effectively deal with most attacks and wear on the soul guide core array itself.

In addition, some high-grade rare metals also have properties such as shaping, stability, and wear resistance, so over time, no one would think of destroying the soul guide core array itself.

After all, firstly, we don't know the specific location of the soul guide core array of other people's soul guides, and secondly, even if we know the key nodes of the soul guide core array of one or two soul guides,

However, when the opponent is also an experienced soul guide, being able to attack the opponent's soul guide device is almost equivalent to being able to directly attack the opponent himself.

In this case, why not prioritize dealing with the soul guide, but instead go to the trouble of dealing with the soul guide device? After all, for most soul masters, their fighting style is all about strength, there is no need for so many fancy tricks.

However, this is not the case in Huo Yuhao's view. As he possesses the Eye of Truth, what he can achieve through the control of mental power and soul power is far more detailed and precise than that of ordinary soul masters.

In addition to the soul guides that are directly controlled by soul masters, there are also those big killer weapons such as fixed-type soul guide shells that truly established the status of soul masters, as well as the soul guide armor that is now equipped to most soldiers of the Sun-Moon Empire.

For Huo Yuhao, he only needs to understand their structure to use these powerful weapons for his own benefit.

As long as he could crack the structure of the fixed-type soul guide shells, then in front of Huo Yuhao, all of them would be invalidated in a moment of his thought and directly turned into duds, and Huo Yuhao could use them as weapons to attack the enemy in turn.

Even the battle armor of later generations was developed on the basis of humanoid soul guides and soul guide armor. In essence, they are still external objects rather than the soul masters themselves. Although they have spirituality, it is difficult to reach the level of divine weapons, let alone the soul guide armor of this era.

The inscription structure of the artifact itself is natural. Although it is also the trajectory of energy circulation, it is closely connected with the carrier itself. As long as the carrier is not completely destroyed, it can work normally, which is fundamentally different from the soul guide.

Therefore, as long as Huo Yuhao can crack the soul guide core formation of the soul guide armor, Huo Yuhao can even control the soul guide armor and directly lock those soul guides and soldiers who rely on the soul guide armor for amplified combat.

In addition, Huo Yuhao had previously spied on Wang Donger’s spiritual sea through the Eye of Truth, which contained runes that could cause people to have a rejection reaction to soul guides.

Although Huo Yuhao can currently only release and make this rune effective at close range.

However, it is foreseeable that as long as this humanoid soul guide is successfully analyzed, Huo Yuhao’s control over soul guides will be unimaginable. Even a ninth-level soul guide will be suppressed in front of Huo Yuhao.

As for having to wait a little longer to get it, then just wait a little longer. After leaving the sect hall, Huo Yuhao went straight back to his own training room.

For Huo Yuhao, there are still many things he needs to learn and study. As for the idea of ​​cracking the soul guide, it is just one part of it.

After closing his eyes and entrusting the power to the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and entering a state of cultivation, Huo Yuhao’s spiritual body once again entered the sea of ​​​​spirituality. He then touched a mark left by Alex and descended into the undead demiplane.

When he opened his eyes, Huo Yuhao had already "arrived" in the Undead Demiplane, but it was different from the previous times he had been there in person.

At this time, Huo Yuhao was using his arms to vigorously break through the soil in front of him, and then he was able to show his head.

On the gray-black earth, a crack appeared in the ground, and then a pale skeleton crawled out from it.

And this skeleton was Huo Yuhao, and at this moment, the old voice of Alex sounded in his ears.

"Now, Yuhao, your physical strength, energy and mental strength have reached a bottleneck. At the same time, you have almost mastered all the magic that I taught you, but this is not enough."

'Magic is only the result obtained by magicians in the process of exploring the world, and how to obtain this process is the direction to becoming a demigod or even a god.'

'With the help of my magic, a trace of your spirit has now attached itself to this skeleton I made specifically for you.'

'This skeleton is not very powerful, it can even be considered very weak, and it cannot inherit the various methods you have.'

'But I hope you can use it to experience a different world, an ordinary world.'

"Having a unique talent is indeed your advantage, Yuhao, but at the same time, it also creates a certain degree of separation between you and ordinary people."

'This is not a good thing, because it will make you, Yuhao, miss out on many experiences that only ordinary people have.'

'And these experiences and lessons often become an inexplicable barrier when you are comprehending the laws.'

'Perhaps you can use your talent to forcefully break through this barrier, but this does not mean that this barrier will disappear.'

At this point, Alex seemed to sigh; 'Some things are ridiculous. It is difficult for ordinary people to reach the level of cultivation that can touch the laws.'

'And those geniuses, even though they are talented, are too carried away by their own ideas and cannot see the path they are on, and end up making mistakes.'

'Although I only achieved spiritual consciousness and broke through to the level of a demigod, I was limited by the rules of my world and was unwilling to take the last step, but I am still very confident in my understanding of the rules.'

At this point, Alex's tone was neither sad nor happy. Compared to the smooth sailing as the Son of Light, all the painful experiences and wandering around after learning the magic of the dead were the real roots of his achievement as the Holy God of the Dead.

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao controlled this body and nodded slowly. He had to say that Alex's magic was truly amazing. Although it was not his own body, he could control it as easily as with his own arm.

Huo Yuhao was moving towards the depths of the Undead Demiplane, and at this moment, he was practicing to verify his understanding of the path of magic.
