Chapter 16 Soul Power Circuit
After school, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong went straight back to the dormitory to rest. After all, they had endured considerable physical and mental torture at the hands of Zhou Yi over the past three months and needed to relax and take a rest.
Unlike the previous three months when he would go to the outer courtyard library after class and not come back until late at night, this time Huo Yuhao went to bed quickly and fell asleep early.
Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao who was sleeping soundly, and he didn't know whether he really didn't care or was full of confidence. A normal person should sharpen his skills even if he knew it was useless.
Huo Yuhao is such a carefree guy that he can actually fall asleep so early. Seeing this scene, Wang Dong, who was originally preparing to practice hard, suddenly lost interest.
After quickly washing up and circulating his soul power, he fell asleep early.
But what she didn’t know was that Huo Yuhao was currently shaking off everyone in his sleep and secretly rolling up his sleeves.
After three months of continuous experimentation and intelligence gathering, Huo Yuhao has now almost mastered how to use his body as a carrier.
By controlling the soul power through mental force, a new set of soul power circuits is built outside the meridians in the body to operate and simulate the performance of some soul skills or imitate the effects of some simple soul guide core arrays.
Although the levels of the soul skills and soul guide core arrays that Huo Yuhao can simulate and build now are not very high, the highest is probably only around the level of a second-level soul guide device. After all, Huo Yuhao's own strength is there.
Although he could already disassemble and even reassemble the fourth and fifth level soul guide core arrays, the power that his body could exert was only around the second level.
If he forcibly equipped himself with a third-level soul guide core array or soul skills of the same level, it would only cause his body to be overloaded and injured, and this result was not what Huo Yuhao wanted.
Moreover, it is not easy for a soul master to have the soul skills of a great soul master in his body, so that he can exert abilities that surpass his own level.
In addition to the soul power circuits installed in his body, Huo Yuhao can also directly release the effects of some soul skills and soul guide core arrays outside his body through the combination of mental power and soul power during battle.
However, since there was no soul power circuit built in advance, the execution of this method was at least three to four times slower than normal soul skills. With Huo Yuhao's current abilities, there was no particularly good solution.
After all, Huo Yuhao’s current level of mental strength and soul power cultivation are not high enough, and one problem with these external soul skills is that they are too conspicuous.
After all, although Huo Yuhao can now imitate many attack soul skills, such as Wang Dong's Winged Guillotine, Butterfly God's Light, or Beibei's Thunder Dragon Claw, Thunder, and Thunderous Fury.
However, the manifestations of these soul skills are too exaggerated and obvious. Outsiders can see at a glance that the effects of these "self-created soul skills" are very different from Huo Yuhao's own spiritual attributes.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao is currently unable to show these abilities to others and can only keep them as his trump card.
Huo Yuhao is currently trying to build some auxiliary soul power circuits in his body, such as those that imitate food-related and auxiliary soul skills, or soul guide core arrays that are more amplification-oriented.
If he only borrowed its ability framework, Huo Yuhao, as the performer, would not need to shape these soul skills out of his body. He could naturally stimulate and integrate them into his own body to exert an amplifying effect.
However, with Huo Yuhao's current physical condition, he can only support the preparation of four soul power circuits equivalent to the level of a first-level soul guide device, or two soul power circuits equivalent to the level of a second-level soul guide device in his body.
These soul power circuits can be activated directly according to the needs of the battle, just like the soul skills on the soul guide and the soul skills on the soul master's soul ring, and they are convenient and difficult to detect.
At most, those who are sensitive to soul power fluctuations will feel that Huo Yuhao’s soul power has changed, but under the cover of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm’s spiritual power, it is difficult for people to really discover the details.
And because Huo Yuhao usually uses the soul guide core arrays that can stably and continuously assist his own cultivation, in order to cope with the upcoming battle, Huo Yuhao now needs to modify the composition of these soul guide core arrays.
In the sea of spirit, the points of spiritual power began to connect into lines, then the lines were outlined into surfaces, and finally the surfaces were combined into bodies, and then according to the distribution of the human body, they gradually began to deform and modify.
"Let me think about it. For the soul skills that can be used in battle, I'd use the acceleration effect for auxiliary soul skills. After all, hidden weapons are allowed to be used in Shrek's internal competitions."
"As a self-defined spirit master of the Agility Attack system, my agility is not that outstanding at all."
"Okay, the reassembly is complete. This soul power circuit will not only increase my attack speed, reaction speed, and movement speed, but will also increase my body's flexibility and prevent violent movements from placing too much stress on my body."
"It's just that it's equivalent to a second-level soul power circuit. It's not realistic for me to support it for a long time with my current soul master level body, but it can at least last for three minutes."
'The effect is that my overall speed is increased by about 40%, and I can only last about two minutes in battle.'
"Yes, I have it. I can try to connect the structure of this soul power circuit with the soul power circuit structure of the soul guide device."
'Using the Level 2 Acceleration Soul Skill as the main body, after reorganizing and constructing, sew together a Level 2 Soul Power Compression Array that was split from the White Tiger Dagger's Soul Guide Core Array.'
"With the help of this soul guide core array, I can increase the effect of the second-level acceleration soul skill by another 50% in a short period of time, but I will also have to spend about double the soul power on the original basis."
'The effect of this soul power circuit should be no less than the increase provided by the ordinary thousand-year soul ring for soul masters, but my body is too weak at the moment to fully exert its effect.'
After continuous attempts, Huo Yuhao finally succeeded in combining the Level 2 Acceleration Soul Skill in his sea of spirit, and spliced it with the Level 2 Soul Power Compression Array.
Huo Yuhao has been constantly breaking down the routes of soul skills and the composition of soul guide cores, then decomposing and reorganizing them in his own sea of spiritual energy, and then transforming them into new soul power circuits that he needs. This is what he has been doing for the past three months.
Since he came here through time, he has seen more and more martial souls, and has a deeper understanding of the operation of soul power, even though he has never tried it in reality.
However, after these soul skills and soul guide core formations were reorganized into soul power circuits, Huo Yuhao was already able to deduce the actual effects of their reorganization through his sea of consciousness.
"Well, it took quite a while, and I failed dozens of times. Fortunately, even if I fail in the sea of spirit, I won't be hurt. It's just that my spirit energy will be dispersed and needs to be re-condensed."
"If I try outside, every failure will probably leave hidden injuries on my body. I need to recuperate for at least a few days. Now I should integrate this new soul power circulation route into my body." Looking at the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, who was snoring because Huo Yuhao had frequently entered the sea of spirits in the past three months and was too lazy to pretend, Huo Yuhao kicked it awake again.
“Xiao Yuhao, what’s wrong again?” He yawned. The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was now accustomed to Huo Yuhao waking him up from time to time and asking him to get up and work.
"Brother Tianmeng, help me recover the original soul power circuits in my body first, and then integrate this set of soul power circuits into my body in order. Be careful not to interfere with the original operation of the soul power in the meridians. Just attach it to the meridians."
Huo Yuhao carefully shared the vision of the Eye of Truth with the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm through mental sharing. At the same time, he guided the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm step by step to help him build a new soul power circuit.
Tianmeng Bingcan had done this job many times in the past three months, and with Huo Yuhao supervising him, he was very familiar with it and completed it quickly, just like before.
"Okay, brother, go back to sleep. Xiao Yuhao, call me if you have anything." Tianmeng Bingcan lay on the ground again and fell into a deep sleep.
Although it seems simple, it is actually extremely difficult, because you have to know that constructing a soul power circuit in the body is almost as difficult as self-condensing a soul ring.
It's just that the soul power circuit doesn't last long, so the difficulty is much lower, but it is much more difficult than creating one's own soul skills.
After all, creating one's own soul skills is actually to circulate the soul skills through the meridians in a certain way and then release them, while the soul power circuit is to open up a new path independently, and the difficulty is incomparable.
If it weren't for the huge mental power of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and the assistance of the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao would not be qualified to try to add soul power circuits to his body when he was only at the level of a soul master.
Because if this is not done properly, it is very likely to explode in the body, damaging the meridians or even the foundation. However, once it is completed, it will greatly enhance the strength of the soul master.
"Well, that's about it. According to my current physical fitness and soul power, after deduction, this speed-up soul skill can increase my movement speed by about 60% in all aspects."
'With the deep spiritual detection of the Eye of Truth, I should be able to deal with a three-ring or even a four-ring soul master in a short period of time. However, it is just a matter of dealing with him. However, the strongest person in the freshman assessment is only a three-ring soul master, which is enough.'
'However, it can only last for thirty seconds after it is activated, and then the body and soul power will not be able to bear its load. It must be used with caution at critical moments.'
"There is still some time before dawn, so let's sort out the information and other soul guide core array structures."
Just like that, when Huo Yuhao woke up, it was already bright outside, and today was the first day of the freshman assessment.
Unlike Huo Yuhao who sleeps until midnight every day, Wang Dong got up early today because he went to bed early yesterday. Wang Dong was no longer surprised by Huo Yuhao's high-quality sleep.
"Let's go, let's go eat quickly, then meet up with Xiaoxiao to work out some ideas and discuss tactics!" Wang Dong said excitedly.
Huo Yuhao yawned and said, "What tactics can we discuss? Just follow my command. Just rush forward without thinking. First do this, then that. Just kill all the opponents. It's that simple."
"You always teach me to use my brain, but why do you not use it when it's your turn?" Wang Dong rolled his eyes at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao walked slowly and said, "It depends on who you are fighting against. In my opinion, the opponents this time are all rubbish. Hide your second soul skill and combine your first and second soul skills. Who in this session can take a single blow from you?"
"Xiao Xiao and I just need to buy you time and create weaknesses for the opponent. We will have enough time to respond on the spot when the time comes. There is no point in planning ahead."
"Damn it, I can't even argue with you."
Soon, after having breakfast, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong went to the teaching building to find Xiao Xiao.
After Zhou Yi informed them of the time and location of the test, the three of them randomly found a quiet place.
"Let's talk about each other's soul skills and martial spirits first. I know almost everything about both of you. The main thing is to let you get to know each other."
“Let’s start with me. My martial soul Spirit Eyes and my first soul skill Eye of Insight allow me to more easily see through the enemy’s movements and find flaws. My current means of attack are hidden weapons, which are almost at the level of a great soul master.” Huo Yuhao finished his speech.
Then Wang Dong said: "The martial soul is the Light Goddess Butterfly, the first soul skill is Winged Guillotine, and the second soul skill is the Light of the Butterfly Goddess. They are all strong attack soul skills."
Then Wang Dong said proudly: "My first and second soul skills, Ring Fusion, can seriously injure any soul master below the fourth ring, even a defensive combat soul master is no exception."
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao also displayed his own martial soul: "My first martial soul is the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, the first soul skill is the shock of the cauldron, and the second soul skill is the shaking of the cauldron."
Then Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong unconvinced: "My two soul skills can also be fused. Even a three-ring soul master can't break free from my control."
"The second martial soul is the Nine Phoenix Flute, which is mainly used for assistance and control. It has no additional spirit rings yet, so it is not very useful in battle."
“Okay, stop fighting.” Huo Yuhao shook his head: “Anyway, you don’t want to be punished by that perverted old lady Zhou Yi, right?”
"I have a good understanding of your abilities. What I want to tell you next is that you must obey my orders in all battles. If you have any opinions, you can raise them now and we can just fight."
"Whoever wins, listens to him. How about that?"
Wang Dong shook his head upon hearing this, but Xiao Xiao expressed a different opinion. After all, as a person with twin martial souls, she can be regarded as a child of destiny, and naturally she wants to prove herself, especially in front of Wang Dong, whom she likes.
