Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

A month.

Xu Yuan stayed in Heaven Dou City for a month.

His soul power still hadn't broken through, remaining at level forty-nine.

Clearly, he didn't feel any lingering issues from the rapid increase during the Spirit Soul Split at Sea God's Pavilion; on the contrary, the bottleneck at level fifty felt looser.

However, it had been four and a half months since the Spirit Soul Split, and he still hadn't broken through.

If this continued, how would he be able to strive for the limit within ten years?

Xu Yuan couldn't help but suspect, was cultivation after level fifty really that difficult?

He had heard this conclusion from many elders, that cultivation after level fifty would be much more difficult than before.

However, this was actually just a comparative statement.

Xu Yuan knew that many legendary soul masters did not have slower cultivation speeds after level fifty than before.

For example, his teacher Yun Ming's cultivation speed after level fifty was definitely not slow, and even before level ninety, it never dropped below four levels per year.

"So, I must be lacking experience."

Cultivating alone provided too little stimulation.

"The improvement in mental power is also much slower.

It's only barely improved by a hundred points this month, finally reaching nine thousand, but still a long way from ten thousand."

Xu Yuan realized this and knew he couldn't rush it.

However, slow improvement in strength really wasn't something that could be solved just by knowing not to rush.

"The Spirit Ascension efficiency in Heaven Dou City has also decreased, it's time to change locations."

This vacation was actually only half a month long.

Xu Yuan was in a state of leave for the subsequent month and a half in Tianhai City.

Coming to Heaven Dou City, he was still on leave.

Now, he once again dialed Wu Zhangkong's communication, continuing to ask for leave...

Heaven's Fate City.

Heaven's Fate Starry Sky Soul Master Academy.

"Senior, Teacher Zhao."

Xu Yuan shook hands with Li Zhilong and Zhao Quan, who had come to greet him.

"Hahaha, junior, I didn't expect you to come so quickly."

Li Zhilong looked very happy.

"How long are you planning to stay at our academy?"

"Half a month."

Li Zhilong pondered for a moment and nodded silently.

"Half a month is enough for exchanges,"

Zhao Quan said with a smile.

The purpose of Xu Yuan's visit this time was very simple, to discuss with the soul tool masters and mecha masters of their academy who had mastered spaceship technology, and to explore the direction of mecha condensed spaceship technology.

Of course, continuing to comprehend the mysteries of the Star Observation Platform here was also a point.

"Then I will be disturbing the seniors of the academy for the next half month."

"I have already contacted some instructors for you, and they are also very concerned about this exchange,"

Zhao Quan said.

Star Observation Platform.

Returning here again, Xu Yuan felt a lot of emotions.

This Star Observation Platform was indeed of extraordinary significance to him.

His Visualization Method gained a soul because of the Star Observation Platform.

To be precise, it had a complete direction, a path to give the Visualization Method a soul.

Even now, the starry sky map in his sea of consciousness was still just a simple self-circulating system, unable to resonate with the stars in the universe.

It had been more than three months since he last came here, and Xu Yuan hadn't stopped perfecting it.

Although there seemed to be many tasks, due to the acceleration of the dream space, Xu Yuan's actual cultivation on each task was no less efficient than focusing solely on that task in reality.

For three months, he still hadn't found a chance to resonate with the stars in the universe.

"It's not the circulation of star power."

He could be sure that it didn't have much to do with the structure of his starry sky map.

This was also the reason why he couldn't succeed.

As Xu Yuan sighed with emotion, Zhao Quan had already arrived with a middle-aged elder from Heaven's Fate Starry Sky Soul Master Academy.

"Xu Yuan, this is Professor Zhang from our academy, a well-known cosmology expert throughout the Federation."

"Professor Zhang, this is Xu Yuan I told you about."

Zhao Quan introduced the two to each other.

Xu Yuan stepped forward and shook hands with Professor Zhang.

"Professor Zhang, I'm disturbing you."

"It's no problem, I'm actually very interested in the Starry Sky Mecha you conceived,"

Professor Zhang said with a smile.

Starry Sky Mecha, in fact, he could feel that Xu Yuan was changing the concept.

It was actually a warship.

Of course, strictly speaking, it wasn't a warship either.

Xu Yuan's vision still had the characteristics of a mecha.

The god-level mecha could transform freely, transforming from a mecha into a warship form, which was theoretically feasible.

This was also the final form of the Starry Sky Mecha in Xu Yuan's mouth.

But this was by no means a simple combination of mecha and warship.

The technical requirements involved were too high.

What was Professor Zhang looking at?

Naturally, it was Xu Yuan's simultaneous cultivation of four professions.

Moreover, Xu Yuan himself was willing, so no additional capital investment was required for cooperation.

It was just mutual discussion, plus Xu Yuan going to practice and verify.

If the Starry Sky Mecha could be developed, the Federation's exploration of the universe could also go a step further.

Because although spaceship technology has been improved, it is ultimately not strong enough, and the flying speed of spaceships is not fast enough.

However, if mecha or even Xu Yuan's requirements to reach the level of magic arrays in battle armor are introduced, there is a chance to achieve this difficult technical gap.

At least, the upper limit has been broken through.

The accuracy of the technology cannot be achieved temporarily, but it is also very meaningful to raise the efficiency limit of the Federation's exploration of the universe with Xu Yuan's efforts alone.

Chapter 199: The Mysteries of the Star Observation Platform

Xu Yuan also knew where his capital for cooperation with the other party lay.

You provide technology, and I provide funds and practical ability.

Of course, the common direction of both parties was also the same, that is, to manufacture the Starry Sky Mecha they envisioned.

Professor Zhang's research on space exploration was very profound.

Douluo Star's resources had long shown foreseeable shortages, and the Federation had already begun to try to explore outer space, looking for more resources in the universe, and also trying to contact other civilizations in the universe.

Unfortunately, there has been no substantial breakthrough in this direction to date. The exploration of space is limited to the star system where Douluo Star is currently located.

However, despite the stalled progress, time has allowed a group of soul masters or researchers with curiosity and longing for space to accumulate.

Technology has encountered bottlenecks, but talent continues to accumulate. Experts in space exploration are studying the numerous technologies of the current federation, researching space, and attempting to find breakthroughs in various directions.

Professor Zhang is one of them.

"Professor, I have a question."

Xu Yuan was not in a hurry to explore the Starry Sky Mech, but instead raised some questions from his visualization practice.

"I have witnessed the operation of the Star Observation Platform and have also tried to build similar arrays, but at most, I can only attract a bit of star power, or gather star power, but no matter what, I cannot achieve the effect of the Star Observation Platform, and the star power drawn down also has vitality characteristics."

Professor Zhang smiled as he listened to Xu Yuan's confusion. His hand rubbed his chin, as if he had guessed Xu Yuan's question when Xu Yuan started speaking.

It wasn't until Xu Yuan finished describing the problem that he confirmed that what Xu Yuan was talking about was the biggest secret of the Star Observation Platform.

Although it was a secret, he did not hide it.

Because this secret has been asked by many forces curious about the power of the stars, and the Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy has also shared it.

To this day, no other place has re-created another Star Observation Platform according to their theory.

"Xu Yuan, let me ask you, what do you think the stars in the universe are?" Professor Zhang asked.

Xu Yuan gave the answer without hesitation.

"Stars like the sun."

Professor Zhang nodded.

"Then do you think that every star is exactly the same?"

"No, different stars have different characteristics, right? Moreover, as far as I know, star evolution also has different periods, and some stars even explode, and then form black holes."

Xu Yuan didn't say too much about the specific explosion process, he just simply said what he knew.

Professor Zhang shook his head.

"I'm not referring to the differences between different stages of a star, but what are the differences between stars in a similar stage of development as the sun?"

Xu Yuan frowned, with some guesses in his mind, but he was not sure whether they were true or false, waiting for Professor Zhang to continue explaining.

"The same substance, due to its different location, has different characteristics. For example, vitality. On Douluo Star, near volcanoes, vitality naturally transforms into fire-attributed vitality. Above the sea, the concentration of water-attributed vitality is extremely high, and in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest ten thousand years ago, it was even stained with life vitality."

"The same goes for stars. Different locations give different stars different characteristics."

"After research, we found that this is caused by the stars forming a structure similar to a soul guidance array between each other. Our Star Observation Platform simulates one of these structures between a group of stars, echoing it, and under the influence of this group of thirty-six stars in total, it gives vitality to the star power that is drawn in."

Xu Yuan frowned.

He had actually considered this point as well.

He was also simulating the operation of the stars in the sky in his mind.

He had also deduced that the structures he simulated should all have array effects.

"The power of the stars is the power emitted by stars, radiating throughout the universe, and is the true source of energy for all planes. If you want to give the power of the stars characteristics, you need more than just the effect of an array."

Professor Zhang seemed to know that Xu Yuan had made these attempts, and directly gave Xu Yuan the answer.

"Although I don't know why it can affect from a distance, it is indeed the case that the star power can only be given various characteristics with the help of the corresponding stars."

"Of course, soul masters can also give the star power characteristics through acquired means, but the characteristics induced by stars are different."

"Just like the difference between alloy and spirit alloy, the effects between the two are vastly different, which is most obvious to soul masters."

You use the power of the stars and give the power of the stars characteristics, but this part of the characteristics has a negligible effect on soul masters and can hardly be used for cultivation.

Of course, inducing the power of the stars itself is useful.

But in terms of characteristics, what is needed is the characteristics induced by stars, which appear under the influence of remote projection.

Professor Zhang distinguished these characteristics into innate and acquired.

Xu Yuan was thoughtful.

"So, the principle of the Star Observation Platform is not to use this huge array to give the drawn-in star power any effect, but to use this huge array to resonate with those thirty-six stars?"

Professor Zhang nodded.

"However, so-called resonance cannot be one-sided. There are so many similar arrays on the continent, but will there be resonance between them?"

Many soul guidance devices must have the same circuits inside, but there is no phenomenon of mutual resonance.

"So, it is not so easy to achieve resonance with the stars, and it also requires luck."

Professor Zhang was very frank on this point, saying that the successful construction of his Star Observation Platform was partly due to luck.

Xu Yuan nodded, agreeing with this point.

The volume of stars is very large, and the target of resonance is many stars. As a tiny human soul master, first of all, you must have enough power to stimulate the other party.

The resonance between the two sides can also be established by one side's initiative, but it must also be touched.

Can the power of an ant shake an elephant?
