Huo Yuhao indeed slowed down. He retracted his other four fingers before using his left hand to pick up the rare tal. Only his right index finger continued to make minor carvings on the tal. Even though he was still quick, he was now much slower than before.
tal scraps continued to fall, and Huo Yuhao was extrely focused.
Even though it was only the first out of twenty-four core formations, it was still much more complex than the central core formations of many Class 7 soul tools. The more advanced the soul tool, the more difficult it was to make. It was just like soul masters and soul engineers the higher the cultivation, the more difficult it was to achieve.
Xuan Ziwen felt a sense of nostalgia as he watched Huo Yuhao. Then, when he was still in the Sun Moon Empire, he had relied on a Class 8 decomposition cannon to beco the youngest Class 8 soul engineer in the Illustrious Virtue Hall. At the sa ti, he beca their chief researcher!
He was really high-spirited then. It was a pity that his power was restricted in the Illustrious Virtue Hall. Eventually, he was poached by Huo Yuhao, and ca to the Tang Sect.
However, Xuan Ziwen didnt regret his choice at all. Ever since he had co to the Tang Sect, he had shown respect. At the sa ti, the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy didnt skimp on providing him with all types of resources. Otherwise, how could he have beco a Class 9 soul engineer in such a short period of ti?
Although Xuan Ziwen knew that he wasnt inferior to anyone else in terms of soul tool research, he was also very aware that his foundation in terms of his soul power cultivation was very poor. Initially, he had relied on all sorts of dicine to beco a Soul Douluo. Before he reached Class 9, he believed that anyone with seven rings in the Tang Sect could easily defeat him if he didnt use a soul tool.
Normally, he was very busy with work. He didnt even have ti to think about daily matters. Now that he finally had the ti to rest, all types of thoughts ran through his mind. However, he was still very fixated on Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao was going faster and faster. From his initial unfamiliarity, he slowly regained the feeling of making a soul tool. Even he himself was delightfully surprised by that.
This rare tal seed to have been enlarged in his eyes. Even so very minor details were attended to under his ticulous observation.
At the start, he didnt dare to use any carving techniques. However, as ti passed, he found things much easier using his spiritual power as a guide.
Very soon, his first core formation had been completed. He carefully placed it at a corner of the carving table. He then picked up his second piece of rare tal and started to carve it.
Xuan Ziwen took a few steps forward and silently picked up that first core formation, carefully observing it. After a brief mont, he nodded and put it back in its original position.
This kid has indeed not been slacking. This was the appraisal that Xuan Ziwen gave after seeing the core formation.
From the fact that Huo Yuhao could create a core formation in such a short period of ti, it was evident that he was a qualified Class 7 soul engineer. He was even one of the more experienced ones. Perhaps I should let him try one of the simpler Class 8 soul tools. He might successfully create them.
Of course, this was only an instantaneous thought in Xuan Ziwens mind.
Huo Yuhao was already getting faster and faster. The creation of the second core formation took only four-fifths of the ti he needed to make the first core formation.
All twenty-four core formations were being built for the sa goal. There were three groups of eight, and each group had their own similarities. Furthermore, they were also interlinked in so aspects.
Huo Yuhao took two hours to finish the first group of core formations. The eight formations were neatly arranged on the table.
Xuan Ziwen revealed a weird expression on his face when he saw this.
He could still clearly rember that he had taken a total of six days to finish creating a Class 8 decomposition cannon when he was still a Class 8 soul engineer. As for the first group of core formations, it had taken him three days.
It was the sa core formations. The first group was the most difficult. It was only at the later stages that one could proceed faster as he grasped the technique.
This kid has actually succeeded? At least it doesnt seem like hes made a mistake. Itll be even easier later on. Surely he hasnt made a mistake, has he?
Xuan Ziwen wanted to remind Huo Yuhao that he could take a break halfway into making an advanced soul tool to recharge.
However, when he looked at Huo Yuhao, he imdiately discovered that Huo Yuhao was very energetic. He didnt seem the least bit tired at all!
He doesnt need to rest then. Xuan Ziwen thought to himself wickedly.
He turned around and walked out. He found that it was already dark outside. From the sky, it seed like it was six hours to daybreak.
Hmph, if he cant finish before daybreak, it wont count even if he succeeds in the end. Furthermore, so what if he succeeds? If it cant be used, hell still lose.
Even Xuan Ziwen didnt realize that his ntality had already changed. At the start, he had believed that Huo Yuhao was destined to fail. Right now, he was already starting to think of ways to keep Huo Yuhao behind. The change wasnt gradual.
Huo Yuhao naturally didnt know what Xuan Ziwen was thinking. He was completely invested right now.
It was indeed much easier to complete the second group compared to the first group. However, he wasnt complacent at all. This was because he knew that any flaws could result in total failure.
This was a Class 8 soul tool. He needed to pour in soul power to link the components. If there were problems with the internal structure of the core formations, the entire formation would be disabled. When that happened, his efforts would be futile, and he would have wasted precious rare tals too. That was sothing he didnt hope to see.
One by one
As Huo Yuhao did his work, he was also counting. As ti passed, he felt that his movents were getting more and more fluid.
Ive seed to beco better from not practicing! Hehe, Teacher Xuan should be rather astonished.
However, this thought only flashed across his mind before disappearing. This was because he almost made a mistake from being this slightly distracted.
In fact, his improvent from a lack of practice was an anomaly. As for the reason, it was because his cultivation had risen too quickly. Using his imnse spiritual power as support and his originally sturdy foundation, he managed to remain error-free as he had imrsed himself in the research of soul tools over the past few days.
No matter how complex the core formations of a Class 8 soul tool were, they were still core formations. What was needed was only more effort, soul power and experience.
Huo Yuhao definitely sorely lacked experience. However, he had an advantage in the other aspects. The soul power of a soul master with twin martial souls was greater than most other soul masters of the sa tier. Right now, Huo Yuhaos soul power had only reached Rank 80, but he had the soul power of an ordinary Rank 85 Soul Douluo. This also ant that his actual cultivation wasnt too far from a Titled Douluo. After all, he already had a soul core!
The second group was completed!
Huo Yuhao let out a long breath. After he finished his second group of core formations, he finally lifted his head and stretched his neck to relax.
What ti is it, eldest senior? Huo Yuhao asked Bei Bei.
Bei Bei replied, Its only four more hours to daybreak.
Alright. Huo Yuhao responded before he got to work once again.
The rest had already returned to rest. Only Bei Bei, Ji Juechen, Xuan Ziwen and He Caitou remained in the room.
It was normal for He Caitou and Xuan Ziwen to remain behind. However, Ji Juechen caught everyone by surprise by staying as well. He didnt say anything either, and only stood where he was like a target board. He silently observed Huo Yuhao. There were undulations in his eyes, as if he were thinking of sothing.
The others didnt disturb him. This Sword Fanatic had a different mindset from ordinary people. However, his cultivation speed didnt lag compared to those from Shreks Seven Monsters.
Right now, he was sparring less and less with the others. However, there was an obvious improvent every ti he did so. In addition, he had identified one opponent, and kept going to that opponent. This relieved the pressure on many others. This person that he had identified was Xu Sanshi.
Ever since Xu Sanshi gained the Xuanwu Shield and fused with the Golden Tortoise, his abilities were on the rise. He had even beaten Ji Juechen. In addition, his defense was so strong that he was unafraid against Ji Juechen.
In the Tang Sect, Ji Juechen was known for having the strongest offense, while Xu Sanshi had the strongest defense. It was only right for the two of them to spar. Xu Sanshi avoided Ji Juechen, as he didnt want him to find him.
Huo Yuhao only took one hour to finish the second group of core formations. However, he slowed down on the third group. This was because the third group of core formations was the most complex. The requirents for precision were also much greater. There was one formation that was in the center of the entire formation. This formation was the smallest, but the most complex.
It was only the size of a cherry, but the patterns that had to be carved on it were very complex. There were easily two or three tis more patterns in this one than there were in the others.
Huo Yuhao first completed the seven other formations in the third group before he started on this most complex formation.
He was very careful, and slowed himself down. The golden lights in his eyes were much brighter than before. This was because he was afraid of making even the slightest error.
Xuan Ziwen silently watched at one side. He had a look of admiration by now. He didnt know what to say about this student in front of him.
