Douluo: The True Eye

Chapter 16: Soul Power Circuit

After school, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong went straight back to their dormitory to rest. After all, in the past three months, they had suffered no small amount of physical and mental torment at the hands of Zhou Yi, and they needed to relax and rest.

Unlike the previous three months, when they would go to the outer courtyard library after every class until late at night, this time Huo Yuhao went to bed quickly and fell asleep early.

Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao, who was snoring loudly, and didn't know if he was truly unconcerned or full of confidence. Shouldn't a normal person, even if they knew it wouldn't be of much use, sharpen their sword at the last minute at this time?

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, was really carefree and was able to fall asleep so early. Seeing this scene, Wang Dong, who had originally planned to cultivate hard, immediately lost interest.

After a hasty wash and a run of soul power, she also went to bed early.

What she didn't know was that Huo Yuhao was secretly working hard in his dreams, leaving everyone else behind.

After three months of continuous attempts and information gathering, Huo Yuhao now had a pretty good grasp of how to use his body as a carrier.

He used his spiritual power to control his soul power to build a new soul power circuit outside the meridians in his body, in order to run and simulate the use of some soul skills or imitate the effects of some simple soul guidance core arrays.

Although the level of these soul skills and soul guidance core arrays that Huo Yuhao can simulate and build now is not very high, probably only at the level of a Rank 2 soul tool at most, after all, Huo Yuhao's own strength is there.

Although he can already disassemble and even reorganize Rank 4 and Rank 5 soul guidance core arrays, the power that his body can exert is only around Rank 2.

Forcibly carrying a Rank 3 soul guidance core array or a soul skill of the same level would only overload and injure his body, and this was not the result Huo Yuhao wanted.

Moreover, using a soul master's body to carry a Great Soul Master level soul skill, allowing himself to exert power beyond his own realm, was already very difficult.

In addition to the soul power circuit carried in his body, Huo Yuhao can also directly release the effects of some soul skills and soul guidance core arrays outside his body in battle through the combination of spiritual power and soul power.

However, since he didn't build a soul power circuit in advance, the use of this method is at least three to four times slower than a normal soul skill, and Huo Yuhao doesn't have a particularly good solution with his current ability.

After all, Huo Yuhao's current spiritual power level and soul power cultivation level are not high enough, and these external soul skills have a problem in that they are too conspicuous.

After all, although Huo Yuhao can now imitate many offensive soul skills, such as Wang Dong's Wing Blade, Butterfly God Light, or Bei Bei's Thunder Dragon Claw, Thunderclap, and Thunder Fury.

However, the manifestation of these soul skills is too exaggerated and obvious. Outsiders can tell at a glance that the effects of these 'self-created soul skills' are very different from Huo Yuhao's own spiritual attributes.

So, Huo Yuhao can't show these abilities in front of others yet, and can only keep them as his trump cards.

Huo Yuhao is currently trying to build some auxiliary soul power circuits in his body, such as imitating food-type and auxiliary-type soul skills, or soul guidance core arrays that are more inclined to amplification.

If he only borrows its ability framework, Huo Yuhao, as the caster, does not need to shape these soul skills away from his body, and can naturally activate and integrate them into his body to exert an amplification effect.

However, with Huo Yuhao's current physical fitness, he can only support a maximum of four soul power circuits equivalent to the level of a Rank 1 soul tool in his body in advance, or two soul power circuits of Rank 2 soul tool level.

And these soul power circuits can be directly activated according to the needs of the battle, just as convenient as the soul skills on the soul tool and the soul skills on the soul master's soul ring, and difficult to detect.

At most, those who are sensitive to soul power fluctuations will feel that there is a change in Huo Yuhao's soul power, but under the cover of Tianmeng Iceworm's spiritual power, it is difficult for people to truly discover the details.

And because Huo Yuhao usually uses soul guidance core arrays that can stably and continuously assist his cultivation, Huo Yuhao still needs to modify the composition of these soul guidance core arrays in order to deal with the upcoming battle.

In the sea of spirit, the points composed of spiritual power begin to connect into lines, then the lines are outlined into surfaces, and finally the surfaces are combined into a body, and then gradually begin to produce deformation and modification according to the distribution of the human body.

'Let me think, the soul skills that can be used in battle, if it is an auxiliary soul skill, then use the acceleration effect, after all, hidden weapons are allowed in the Shrek internal competition.'

'And as a self-defined agility-attack type soul master, being a little more agile will not be so outstanding.'

'Okay, the reorganization and splicing is complete. This soul power circuit, in addition to improving my speed of attack, reaction speed, and movement speed, will also improve some of my body's flexibility, avoiding excessive load on my body due to violent movements.'

'However, after all, it is a soul power circuit equivalent to the Rank 2 level. It is still not very realistic for my current soul master level body to support it for a long time, but it can at least last for three minutes.'

'The effect is almost a comprehensive increase of about 40% in my movement speed, and it can only support about two minutes in battle.'

'Hmm, I have an idea, I can try to splice the structure of this soul power circuit with the soul power circuit structure of the soul tool.'

'Take the Rank 2 Acceleration Soul Skill as the main body, reorganize and construct it, and then sew in a Rank 2 Soul Power Compression Array disassembled from the White Tiger Dagger's soul guidance core array.'

'With the assistance of this soul guidance core array, I can increase the effect of the Rank 2 Acceleration Soul Skill by another 50% in a short period of time, but I also have to pay an extra double the soul power on the original basis.'

'The effect of this soul power circuit should already be comparable to the amplification provided by a normal thousand-year soul ring for a soul master, but my body is too weak to fully exert its effect.'

After continuous attempts, Huo Yuhao finally successfully combined the Rank 2 Acceleration Soul Skill in his sea of spirit and spliced it with the Rank 2 Soul Power Compression Array.

Constantly disassembling the operation route of soul skills, the construction method of the soul guidance core, and then decomposing and reorganizing them in his sea of spirit, and then transforming them into a new soul power circuit that he needs, this is what Huo Yuhao has been doing for the past three months.

Since he traveled here, as he has seen more and more martial souls, and as he has gained a deeper understanding of the operation of soul power, even if he has not tried it in reality.

However, after these soul skills and soul-guided core formations were reorganized into soul power circuits, Huo Yuhao was able to deduce their actual effects after reorganization in his spiritual sea.

'Alright, it took a lot of time and failed dozens of times. Fortunately, even if I fail in the spiritual sea, I won't hurt myself. It's just that the mental power dissipates and needs to be re-condensed.'

'If I tried it outside, every failure would probably leave hidden injuries on my body, and it would take at least a few days to recuperate. Now, it's time to incorporate this new soul power operation route into my body.'

Looking at Tianmeng Iceworm, who was sleeping soundly because Huo Yuhao often entered the spiritual sea during these three months and was too lazy to pretend, Huo Yuhao kicked him awake again.

"Little Yuhao, what's wrong again?" Tianmeng Iceworm yawned. Nowadays, Tianmeng Iceworm is used to Huo Yuhao waking him up from time to time and asking him to work.

"Brother Tianmeng, please help me recover the original soul power circuit in my body first, and then incorporate this soul power circuit into my body in order, and be careful not to interfere with the original operation of soul power in the meridians, just attach it to the meridians."

Huo Yuhao carefully shared the vision of the Eye of Reality with Tianmeng Iceworm through spiritual sharing, and at the same time, guided Tianmeng Iceworm step by step to help him build a new soul power circuit.

Tianmeng Iceworm had done this work many times in the past three months, and with Huo Yuhao's supervision, he was very familiar with it and completed it quickly as before.

"Okay, I'll continue to sleep. Little Yuhao, call me if you need anything." Tianmeng Iceworm lay on the ground again and fell asleep.

Although it seems simple, it is actually extremely difficult, because building a soul power circuit in the body is almost as difficult as condensing a soul ring by oneself.

It's just that the duration of the soul power circuit is not long, so the difficulty is much lower, but it is still more difficult than creating a soul skill by oneself.

Because if this is not done well, it is very likely to explode in one's body, injure the meridians, or even the foundation, but once it is completed, it will be a great improvement to the Soul Master's strength.

'Well, the preparation is almost done. According to my current physical fitness and soul power, after deduction, this acceleration soul skill can probably increase my movement speed by about 60% in all aspects.'

'With the deep mental detection of the Eye of Reality, I should be able to deal with Soul Ancestors at the three-ring or even four-ring level in a short period of time, but it's just dealing with them. However, the strongest in the freshman assessment is only a three-ring Soul Reverence, which is enough.'

'It's just that after it's turned on, it can only last for thirty seconds, and then the body and soul power can't support its load. It must be used carefully at critical moments.'

'There's still some time before dawn, let's organize the data and other soul-guided core formation structures.'

Just like that, Huo Yuhao woke up, and it was already dawn, and today was the first day of the freshman assessment.

Unlike Huo Yuhao, who always slept soundly until the deadline every day, Wang Dong woke up early today because he went to bed early yesterday, and Wang Dong was not surprised by Huo Yuhao's quality sleep.

"Let's go, let's go eat quickly, and then find Xiao Xiao to practice together and discuss tactics!" Wang Dong said excitedly.

Huo Yuhao yawned: "What tactics are there to discuss? Just listen to my command, you rush forward without thinking, do this first, then that, and directly knock everyone on the opposite side off the stage, it's that simple."

"You usually teach me to use my brain, why don't you use your brain when it's really your turn to use your brain?" Wang Dong glared at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao said slowly while walking: "Using your brain also depends on who you're dealing with. In my opinion, the opponents in this session are all trash. Hide your second soul skill, and combine your first and second soul skills. Who in this session can take a hit from you?"

"Xiao Xiao and I just need to delay them and create flaws for the opponent. It's completely possible to adapt on the spot, and it's meaningless to plan in advance."

"Damn it, I can't argue with you at all."

Soon, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had breakfast and went to the teaching building to find Xiao Xiao.

Then, after Zhou Yi notified them of the time and place of the assessment, the three of them randomly found a quiet place.

"Let's talk about it first, each other's soul skills and martial souls. I know almost everything about you two. The main thing is to let you get familiar with each other."

"Let's start with me. My martial soul is Spirit Eyes, and my first soul skill is Eye of Insight, which allows me to see through the enemy's movements more easily and find flaws. My current attack method is hidden weapons, which are almost at the level of a Soul Master."

Huo Yuhao finished speaking.

Then Wang Dong opened his mouth and said: "Martial Soul Bright Goddess Butterfly, First Soul Skill Wing Guillotine, Second Soul Skill Butterfly God's Light, are all strong attack soul skills."

Then Wang Dong said proudly: "My first and second soul skill fusion rings can seriously injure any Soul Master below the four-ring level, even defense-type battle soul masters are no exception."

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao also showed her martial soul: "My first martial soul is the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron, First Soul Skill Cauldron Tremor, Second Soul Skill Cauldron Ripple."

Then Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong with some dissatisfaction: "My two soul skills can also be fused into rings, even a three-ring Soul Reverence cannot escape my control."

"The second martial soul is the Nine Phoenix Auspicious Flute, which is mainly for support and control. I haven't added a soul ring yet, so it's not very useful in battle."

"Okay, stop arguing." Huo Yuhao shook his head: "Anyway, you don't want to be punished by that perverted old woman Zhou Yi, do you?"

"I understand your abilities pretty well. Next, what I want to tell you is that all battles are under my command. If you have any objections, you can raise them now. Let's just have a fight."

"Whoever wins, we listen to them, how about it?"

Hearing this, Wang Dong shook his head, but Xiao Xiao raised a different opinion. After all, as a twin martial soul, she can be regarded as a proud child of heaven, and naturally wants to prove herself, especially in front of Wang Dong, whom she likes.
