"To be precise, the speed will be greatly reduced from level 30 to level 70. After unlocking the martial spirit avatar, the training speed will return to normal."
"That's the same. I feel like your speed is not much slower than other students."
"Don't spread rumors or create rumors. To be honest, I don't quite understand why the hall master is always so worried about this."
"Nonsense, time is the most precious when you are young. Your cultivation speed has dropped. Anyone in the know is not worried. What if you get stuck on the threshold of a Titled Douluo or a Super Douluo in the future?"
"Teacher Yu, the slow speed of cultivation is to consolidate the body's acceptance of the ultimate attributes. But it is not stagnant. For the ultimate attributes, being slow is not a bad thing, because the existence of the ultimate will not be eliminated during the cultivation process. Is there any bottleneck?"
"I do not know how?"
"Beibei from Shrek Academy told me that Shrek has produced three ultimate martial souls in history. They also claim that all the ultimate martial souls are Shrek's disciples. Their experience in this area is always much better than ours. Is it credible? As for why my cultivation speed is not greatly affected...maybe it is because the drug research in the Sun and Moon Empire is relatively advanced?"
Huo Yuhao casually brought up Wang Yan's theory that "it's not a bad thing to be slower in the Ultimate Martial Spirit" and put the blame on Beibei, who would not be questioned and therefore would not argue.
As for why his cultivation speed is not greatly affected, it is mainly due to the two ferocious beasts. When Huo Yuhao practices, he only needs to unzip the Ice Emperor.rar and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.zip, and absorb the origins of the two ferocious beasts step by step. With his strength, there would be no problem at all in supporting him to reach Super Douluo, even if the energy requirements of twin martial spirits and ultimate martial spirits were much higher than those of ordinary soul masters.
"Because of the existence of the Ultimate Martial Spirit, there will be no bottlenecks in the cultivation process?" Yu Yu frowned slightly, "What does this mean?"
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment: "If there is no bottleneck, there is no bottleneck. What else does it mean..."
Yu Yu shook his head: "The bottleneck of soul masters mainly comes from the limitations of martial souls and soul rings on their own potential. In other words, as long as the soul ring ratio is not the best or the soul master has attached ten years of soul rings, it is basically impossible to break through. Up to the level of Titled Douluo. Oh, you are an exception that relies on the quality of the martial soul itself and the twin martial souls to make up for the flaws of the first soul ring. It is basically impossible to copy."
Huo Yuhao nodded. For example, Tie Li, the leader of the Iron Blood Sect, the unlucky guy who destroyed the Tang Sect's foundation, had a soul ring ratio of one white, two yellow, and three purple. Even the Soul Saint would not be able to break through in his lifetime.
In other words, "the ratio of soul rings is not the best" and "there is a ten-year soul ring". Under normal circumstances, if one of them is met, there is no hope of being titled Douluo. If two of them are met at the same time, the upper limit will be nailed to the soul emperor level.
"So..." Yu Yu continued: "How does the so-called non-existence of bottlenecks in the ultimate martial spirit manifest itself? In my understanding, the bottleneck of a soul master mainly refers to the fact that one must add a soul ring when it reaches a multiple of ten. Further improve your cultivation level. No matter what, it is impossible for the ultimate martial soul to continue to improve its level without a soul ring, right?"
Huo Yuhao thought for a while and said: "The bottleneck of this statement should not refer to the aspect of the soul ring, but the upper limit of the top soul power determined by the characteristics of the martial spirit itself? For example, some martial spirits are destined to have no hope of being banned for life. , it is impossible for most titled Douluo to achieve Super Douluo..."
"That's not quite right. As far as I know, although the three Ultimate Martial Spirits that appeared in Shrek's history have all become prominent figures on the mainland, not all of them have become Ultimate Douluo. Even Shrek did There will be Ultimate Douluo for generations. If there is really no bottleneck, according to you, the Ultimate Martial Spirit should be able to cultivate all the way to level 99 even with nine ten-year soul rings..."
Regarding Yu Yu's inquisitive spirit, Huo Yuhao waved his hand to stop him and said: "Okay, okay, stop thinking nonsense, Teacher Yu, I heard this from Beibei, how do I know what Shrek actually means? ...Perhaps Senior Lin Xi will be able to learn more detailed theoretical content from Shrek when he returns in three years."
"And judging from the experiences of those three seniors, if you go slower from level 30 to level 70, it won't affect them all becoming Super Douluo in the end. I don't see anything about the slowdown in cultivation. It has an obvious impact, and a level 95 Ultimate Martial Spirit can already be used as an Ultimate Douluo..."
"Isn't the worry about slowing down the cultivation speed just the fear of affecting the final level limit? Since previous experience has proven that this delay does not affect the final result, at worst, we will just have to grind hard for two more years. Shrek's first Isn’t it true that the ultimate martial soul was discovered by practicing alone without the experience of others to learn from? You have to have some faith in me."
Seeing Huo Yuhao's nonchalant look, Yu Yu nodded a little depressed, not wanting to worry about this kid anymore.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was still looking at the list, Teacher Yu turned to ask with a frown: "So what are you doing today? You can't be like that bastard Xu Tianzhen who can't restrain his love for Shrek." Curiosity, right?"
"...You should be careful, that is His Highness Tianzhen. Don't accidentally say something smoothly and be given a disrespectful name. Of course I didn't come here because I was idle. It was mainly because the hall master gave me Some tasks were assigned."
Facing Yu Yu's probing gaze, Huo Yuhao sighed and said: "The hall master said that we are all of the same age, so it may be easier to communicate, and among the people who are still in the academy, even if I am not the ultimate ice master, I am The best thing I can do is to pay close attention to the ideological trends of some students from Shrek's external academy, and see if there are any opportunities while working and studying... So I came to have a basic understanding of them first."
"Oh~oh!"
Yu Yu suddenly realized it, and then he looked over and asked with interest:
"The dean is so confident about you? Are you not afraid of some... accidents?"
Huo Yuhao's expression turned slightly strange when he heard this: "Dean... he is indeed quite confident in himself."
In fact, Jing Hongchen himself had some doubts about whether seducing Shrek students was something as trivial as asking Huo Yuhao to hunt rabbits. Would he lose his wife and lose his troops? However, if he thought about it more deeply, he would not think so. What unexpected risks arise.
Jing - Dean of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy - Master of the Mingde Hall - The youngest ninth-level soul engineer - Duke of the Empire - Hongchen is one of the most powerful people in the continent today, and Meng Hongchen's qualities in all aspects are also unique among the younger generation. She is excellent. There are few peers in the entire continent who can compare with her. What is there to worry about?
The only person on Shrek's side who has the strength and the ability to take advantage of the situation is Ning Tian of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect. However, as the leader of the Mingde Hall, the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect is just a poor poor man with only money left. , not to mention that the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect can’t even compete with Mingde Hall now.
"So, you plan to... pry someone off if you get the chance?" Yu Yu asked, having figured out the cause and effect.
"I don't care and I'm not very interested, but since it's a task assigned by the dean, I'd better do it more seriously. Now I take basic classes with the college's classes in the morning, and in the afternoon I study the topic with Teacher Xuan in Mingde Hall. I have to seize the time to practice when I go back to the dormitory at night. I am so busy. Now I have more work to do..."
Yu Yu tilted his face and said: "It's better to be busy. It means that at least there are funds invested in you. What the soul master is most afraid of is not that the research has no results, but that no one is willing to invest in support. I feel that Ning Tian may have a purpose It’s not too innocent, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing. Come on, let’s eat some watermelon first.”
Yu Yu pushed a plate of cut watermelon cubes from the corner of the table. Huo Yuhao looked at the watermelon cubes with toothpicks stuck in them and was stunned for a moment.
"What, you don't like eating?"
"This is not..."
Huo Yuhao shook his head and looked at the cotton scarf hanging on the clothes hanger in the office, thoughtfully.
"Teacher Yu, what kind of cotton are these used to make cotton-padded clothes?"
"There are many sources. The largest cotton field is in the southeast. What, are you interested in investing or visiting?"
"I don't need it, but maybe it can be of some use to others in the future."
With that said, Huo Yuhao picked up the Shrek student's volunteer report form again and his eyes wandered over it.
…………
Hundreds of meters underground at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Jing Hongchen embedded a core array into the huge metal man in front of him and smiled with satisfaction at his results.
This is a huge circular laboratory, with a diameter of more than 100 meters and a height of 30 meters. It has extremely strong protective performance and consumes a lot of manpower and material resources of Mingdetang.
The huge metal man in front of him also reached an astonishing fifteen meters in height. Although many external components were not equipped, and the whole body had not gone through processes such as painting, making it look a bit crude and dilapidated, Jing Hongchen knew that this It is the crystallization of the essence of soul guidance technology in the Sun and Moon Empire for thousands of years.
As the youngest ninth-level soul engineer, Jing Hongchen is the person in charge of the humanoid soul guide project. This top-secret project also places Jing Hongchen's hope on protecting his family for generations to come.
In the original work, if Huo Gua hadn't stolen the humanoid soul guide during the Noumenon Sect's raid, Jing Hongchen would not have been severely punished, deprived of his title of duke, and finally defected to Xu Tianran, causing the aloof attitude he tried so hard to maintain to fall short. .
Although Huo Yuhao didn't quite understand why the emperor decided to punish Jing Hongchen just because he was "attacked" after being attacked by the Noumenon Sect, and Mingdetang was not responsible for the defense of Mingdu, no matter how you look at this treatment, it seems that the victim is guilty. Feel……
A bad defense is a bad defense. Just because Mingde Hall was attacked, Jing Hongchen, the hall leader, was punished.
, to a certain extent, this is like punishing the military commander when the army encounters an enemy without declaring war. It does not make sense logically.
The theft of the humanoid soul guide only made Jing Hongchen's crime worse. Before learning about this incident, Jing Hongchen was busy using his influence to put out the fire in the Noumenon Sect's raid. His original bottom line was that the Duke's reputation was lost. If you lose, you will lose it. At least you have to keep your position. This is the capital of a comeback.
As one of the top ninth-level soul masters in the mainland, Jing Hongchen has long disdained to make ordinary soul guides by himself, but the humanoid soul guide in front of him is obviously not one of them. Most of the parts on it are made for fear of any accidents. The mirror was made by Hongchen himself, and Hall Master Hongchen worked tirelessly for it.
"Haha, whether the Hongchen family can truly become a top-notch family that lives together with the country depends on you. Don't let me down..."
Jing Hongchen muttered to himself to the metal man in front of him who showed no sign of life.
After finishing the construction work scheduled for today, Jing Hongchen put the tool box back into the storage ring and turned to leave the laboratory. At this time, the smooth wall suddenly appeared full of complex and magnificent patterns, slowly separated and made way for a passage. Jing Hongchen immediately walked into the corridor of the huge underground project of Mingde Hall.
Ten minutes later, Jing Hongchen, who had changed into the hall master's exclusive gorgeous robe, appeared in another secret room.
The layout of this secret room is still all metal.
Whether it is the roof, the ground or the surrounding walls, they are all covered with metal carvings.
In the center of the secret room, there is a square metal pillar erected. The metal pillar was about one and a half meters high, with something placed on it.
It was a wooden holder with at least a hundred gems of various colors inlaid on it. On top of this small wooden support, a group of airflow fluctuated slightly.
This airflow is presented in white. The soft white color is like the airflow, but some shapes are faintly visible, but it is difficult to directly feel its magic through vision.
This mass of air was condensed but not dispersed, faintly rushing left and right, as if it wanted to break out of the encirclement. But the wooden support below it continued to emit a layer of pale golden light during its impact, surrounding it, making it impossible to break through.
"Stop struggling, what's the use of wasting your efforts? No soul beast will come to save you if you scream your throat out."
Jing Hongchen said calmly, with a hint of pride and satisfaction in his eyes.
The tray in front of her was the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo that the Hongchen family had spent huge sums of money to purchase for Xiao Hongchen. After so many days of exploration and exploration, Jing Hongchen had a basic understanding of its situation. Now it was just waiting for Xiao Hongchen to break through to the eighth level. Ring, fuse its soul ring and soul bone to even generate a second martial soul, and then another amazing transformation can occur.
A hundred thousand year soul ring is a rare treasure that can be found in the entire continent, a guaranteed coupon for a Super Douluo!
As far as Jing Hongchen knew, the number of ninth-level soul masters in the entire Sun-Moon Empire who had 100,000-year soul rings could be counted on one hand.
Shrek Academy, which has the richest soul beast resources, is also subject to the threat and restriction issued by the Star Dou Forest many years ago, "If you dare to kill hundred thousand year old soul beasts, prepare to welcome the beast tide." Jing Hongchen does not know their specific details. What's the situation? But thinking about it, I know that there shouldn't be many hundred thousand year soul rings.
On the mainland, except for the Star Forest, the Evil Forest, and the Far North, there are almost no soul beasts that are 100,000 years old in other soul beast inhabited areas. It is impossible for Shrek to come to the Demonic Forest. The Far North is also a restricted area for humans.
Jing Hongchen smiled and said: "I know the background of the Starlight Auction House in the Star Luo Empire very well, the royal family of the Star Luo Empire. They put you up for auction just to create trouble for me and make this hall master think about what this God's Conferment Platform is. Whose work is it? At the same time, he uses the principle of holding a jade to lure powerful people from all over the mainland to attack our Mingdetang."
"What's the point? Just let them come. On the contrary, it is a test of my Mingde Hall's defense ability. The disciples of Mingde Hall should not live too comfortably, right?"
Jing Hongchen's smile was filled with calmness and confidence. Mingdetang's huge project located a hundred meters underground was his greatest confidence, not to mention that Mingdetang had more than 20 level nine defense soul tools in stock, even in extreme battles When Luo came in person, he would feel his scalp numb when faced with the tight protection like a basalt shell.
Unless three or more of the five great national protectors come, there is no force in the world that can attack Mingdetang head-on. Since safety can generally be guaranteed, why not take this opportunity to train the students?
"Unfortunately, the Star Luo Empire made a big mistake, that is, they did not see clearly your true strength. You are not an ordinary hundred thousand year soul beast at all, but a soul beast that has not been able to break through the bottleneck. Your cultivation level is at least nineteen. A nineteen-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-year-old soul beast.”
"It's such a pity. This hall master has all nine rings, so I can only hand over your power to my genius grandson. From now on, we will always be a family. This hall master will treat you well and strive to use every ability of yours They were all dug up."
The airflow above the tray trembled slightly, and then became calm again.
Perhaps it was Jing Hongchen's calm threat that frightened him, or maybe... it was his unmistakable dark future that made him make up his mind in a certain way.
…………
The Heavenly Soul Empire is located somewhere on a towering rock cliff.
The big-headed man with an astonishingly broad forehead bowed slightly and said respectfully to the dark green-haired man standing proudly on the cliff with his hands behind his back:
"Sect Master, the experimental results of the earth-penetrating soul guide imported from the Sun-Moon Empire are very good. The efficiency of burrowing and advancement far exceeds our initial expectations and is sufficient for the operation."
Du Bushui nodded first, then shook his head, with a hint of unruliness in his old voice:
"The few things smuggled from the Sun and Moon Empire are far from enough for the operation. The reward of 100 million gold soul coins cannot allow for mistakes."
"The first priority is to seize the hundred thousand year soul beast embryo. As for whether we should deliver it to the Star Luo Empire in exchange for reward... Humph, why don't we keep it ourselves and leave it to Aotian? I believe that with his abilities With outstanding qualifications, the birth of the second martial soul and soul ring soul bone lord is even more powerful, why should our Noumenon Sect make a wedding dress for Xu Jiawei?"
The big-headed man raised his hands and said: "Sect Master, we have invited Tianhun's best soul master to carry out the imitation. According to him, the imitation is not difficult, and he is confident that the task can be completed as soon as possible with quality and quantity. This imitation requires a lot of trial and error. …The funding requirements are a bit too much.”
Du Buushi snorted coldly: "Give it to him! Our Noumenon Sect is the most famous sect in the world. Can't we even afford the money to copy a soul guidance device?"
The biting cold wind on the top of the mountain made the big-headed man's forehead feel cold. He gritted his teeth and said with some distress: "It's several times more expensive to have a soul master from the Heavenly Soul Empire imitate it than for us to smuggle it..."
"Nonsense, if the Sun and Moon Empire were to let go of soul guides and buy them casually, do you think this sect master would be willing to spend so much money and time to find people in China to imitate them? In addition to the first one, you can also buy the subsequent earth-penetrating soul guides. Have you passed even one?"
"Alas, the Sun and Moon Empire has tightened the control of soul guidance devices for some reason. Many soul guidance devices that were originally allowed to flow freely have been included in the embargoed control registration list. We usually have no use for those soul guidance devices at all. Without reserves, it is much cheaper to smuggle it from the Sun and Moon Empire than to develop it yourself, and you also know the situation of Tianhun... Most of the soul guide technology reserves only exist on paper that makes people happy and cannot be sold at a price."
"The Sun Moon Empire caught us off guard. Now we have to bite the bullet and find someone to do it ourselves. It is a bit expensive, but at least the progress has been advancing and it should not affect your plan, sect master."
Du Bu Shou waved his hand and looked towards the sky beyond the cliff.
"Just spend some money. The money will have to be paid sooner or later. By the way, what about that boy with the original martial soul that you were eyeing during the competition? Don't let the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryos be obtained by then. You But I can’t find my target.”
The big-headed doll man quickly assured: "Sect Master, don't worry, I know him even if he turns into ashes!"
Du Buushi's frown relaxed slightly, and his voice became calmer:
"Yes, Shrek and his group actually used my Noumenon Sect on the field to prove the legitimacy of their kidnapping of the Ultimate Ice... Humph, it's a joke. Of course we are the Noumenon Sect and want to capture the Noumenon Martial Spirits from all over the world, but is Shrek the best? When did it change its name to Ultimate Academy?"
"Since they said that, that's what I, the Noumenon Sect, really did. We snatched the boy with the eyes and brain and showed them to him!"
"This time, our main body sect must kill two birds with one stone! The master of this sect wants both the hundred thousand year soul beast embryos and the top body martial soul disciples!"
"Choose a good and auspicious day, and everyone in our Noumenon Sect is just waiting for the soldiers to create the virtue hall!"
