Ye Yulin was so astonished because he saw that Huo Yuhao was using his spiritual power to control his human-shaped soul tool. As he couldnt move his legs, that must an that he could directly use his spiritual power to exert control over his soul tool, since it could take a step forward. Furthermore, Huo Yuhao had only used eighteen formation arrays, a very small number!
Huo Yuhao controlled his soul tool to take a step back. He was also very emotional. Its great to be able to move! I can finally stand up again!
He had left his previous human-shaped soul tool with Xuan Ziwen to research and continue improving on.
He hadnt brought it with him this ti. Even if he had, he couldnt possibly use it in this tournant, it would expose him too easily. If things didnt go well, he might even be kidnapped by the Illustrious Virtue Hall, and have all his research findings stolen.
However, it was different now. He didnt use his identity as Huo Yuhao, but called himself Tang Wu. After this tournant was over, he was going to vanish completely. He created this human-shaped soul tool to help himself in that goal. He eliminated the problem of his immobility, and thus his fighting strength soared. In addition, it was much easier for him to move now.
Huo Yuhao looked at the passionate Ye Yulin through the crystal steel and asked with a smile, Revered chief judge, do I pass?
Oh, yes, yes. Ye Yulin was delighted. The rest of the six judges were also fascinated. The way they looked at Huo Yuhao made it seed like they wanted to eat him.
They werent the only soul engineers around. There were also the other competitors, and many of the spectators!
Its actually a human-shaped soul tool. The Third Elder was already very unsettled, and couldnt remain seated. He stood in front of the resting area with a very shocked expression on his face.
Second brother, my dear second brother. You forced to give this kid to you. Are you seeing this? Hes actually made a human-shaped soul tool! He can even use his spiritual power to control it. While his actions were simple, he only used eighteen formation arrays! Even if I made sothing like this, Id still need at least forty formation arrays to complete the simple actions that hes perford with eighteen! This kid is a genius, an absolute genius! Such a genius is too important to my future developnt of soul tools.
Nangong Wan was also stunned by what Huo Yuhao had created. However, he had to remain insistent. He smiled and said, In my opinion, he should be stronger as a soul master! Did you forget the soul skill he demonstrated earlier? In addition, I wont stop him from learning how to create soul tools. You can continue to interact with him.
Seeing that Nangong Wan was unwilling to budge, the Third Elder imdiately turned to the vice-leader. Vice-leader, youve seen it too. He knows about soul tools. What do you think?
The vice-leader replied, Lets discuss this when the tournant is over. Lets watch the tournant first. I just received news that there might be people from Shrek Academy nearby. They wont ambush us now, but that doesnt an they wont target us. Everyone be prepared to fight. The only thing that we have to avoid now is internal conflict.
After hearing her words, Nangong Wan and the Third Elder were afraid, and hurriedly nodded.
On the stage, Huo Yuhaos human-shaped soul tool made the rest of the competitors apart from He Caitou grim.
He actually made a human-shaped soul tool. However, can his soul tool really fight? Is it really strong and flexible enough? How can it fight without any offensive weapons?
Huang Zheng suddenly thought of sothing. Surely this fellow isnt going to use his evil soul master thods to fight again? However, the other two underground organizations should already know about his abilities. Is there really no way they can target him? The soul tools made by the rest arent easy to deal with, either
Well carry out the technical test now. So special techniques used to create soul tools and formation arrays are very pertinent. Its only by using these techniques that one can achieve greater heights. Well need all of you to complete so techniques within a set ti in this technical test. The last to complete them will be eliminated. Ye Yulin tried to suppress his excitent while recounting the rules to the competitors.
Very soon, every soul engineer was presented with a tray.
This tray was squarish, and there were nine grids on it. On each grid was a squarish piece of rare tal. Each of the nine pieces of rare tal on each tray was a different color. Given the abilities of the competing soul engineers, they could naturally recognize what these rare tals were.
Huo Yuhao could also tell, of course. He didnt leave his human-shaped soul tool. To him, the feeling of standing was too comfortable. He only put his wheelchair away in his own storage-type soul tool.
After scanning the nine pieces of rare tal in front of him, he had already developed a spectrum in his mind. The nine pieces of rare tal were arranged from hard to soft. The first piece was extrely hard, and the last piece was extrely soft. In short, they were all of varying degrees of hardness.
To ensure fairness, none of you can use your own carving knife. You must use the blade on the tray. What you have to do is to use specific techniques on the nine pieces of rare tal to create nine different formation arrays. For the first piece, you need to drill thirty holes. For the second piece, you need to carve fifty tortuous curves that are proportionately separated. For the third piece, youll need to carve an image of a windmill. For the fourth piece
As Ye Yulin read out the requirents, all the soul engineers started to turn a little dismal.
Nine different techniques, from the easiest to the most difficult. However, they all roughly knew how to do them. However, they turned grim once again as they saw the rare tals in front of them.
Different rare tals were suitable for carrying out different tasks. The rare tals in front of them were the most unsuitable for performing the techniques required of them!
For example, they had to drill thirty holes in the first piece of rare tal, which was the toughest. It was too difficult, and they couldnt use their own carving knives. They could only use the one on the tray, which was made of ordinary fine steel. How much soul power would they need to expend to complete this technical test?
In the end, they still had to carve the most complicated image on the softest piece of rare tal. No wonder Ye Yulin warned them that the technical test wasnt going to be easy. Not easy was an understatent!
Ye Yulin didnt care what they thought. After he announced the rules, he didnt even bother explaining again. He imdiately shouted, The technical test begins! All of you have fifteen minutes to complete this test. If no one can complete all nine techniques, well rank you based on the number that youve completed.
At this point, night had already fallen after the six hours allotted to the competitors to create their soul tools. However, the nine competitors werent tired at all. They all started at the sa ti.
Their martial souls were different, and thus they each had their own ideas.
He Caitous idea was the simplest and crudest. He bit on a cigar that helped to restore his soul power, and directly used his soul power to strengthen the carving knife before he started to carve forcefully.
Compared to him, Huo Yuhao seed to be more technical. For the first piece of rare tal, he used a special thod that only he could perform.
After all, there werent any rules that forbade damaging the rare tals. Arent you very tough? Ill make you stronger then. He pressed the tal with his left hand and poured in his soul power from his Ultimate Ice. The temperature of the tal fell to negative two hundred degrees Celsius. This extre temperature was very damaging to the rare tal.
After this, Huo Yuhao lifted the carving knife with his right hand. He couldnt just drill the holes forcefully. The sizes of the holes had to be the sa, and they had to be circular, and flawless. This was the definition of success.
After he placed his carving knife in position, his eyes turned slightly grey. Following this, a streak of green light shone on his hand.
He was in his human-shaped soul tool now, and only opened the hand compartnts so he could start carving. No one could see his eyes.
A small green spot slowly ford on the tal. After this, Huo Yuhao retracted the low temperature of his Ultimate Ice, and the tal started to fu with smoke.
This was known as a Corrosive Light, from the necromantic arts. It was extrely corrosive and destructive to all matter. Huo Yuhao was able to use this technique with his current spiritual power, but he couldnt lock onto his target with this Corrosive Light, and it only covered a small area. However, it was pretty effective when used on tals.
The rare tal that had been frozen earlier was corroded now. The structure of the tal broke down further. At this point, Huo Yuhao used more of his soul power and pushed his carving knife through the tal, which was much easier now. His control of this Corrosive Light was very good, it didnt spread elsewhere. He first drilled a hole before using this light to expand it slightly. In this way, he conserved more soul power than the others.
The rest of the technical test was basically a proficiency test of his techniques. While he had yet to fully restore his spiritual power, he was still very familiar with these techniques, even without the help of his Spiritual Detection. He wasnt any slower than the rest of them.
Moreover, his spiritual power recovered rather quickly. The sense of weakness he had felt had already disappeared. His condition was even improving!
The seven judges were impressed as they saw how the competitors were progressing. They had to admit that these soul engineers had very strong foundations. No one made any obvious mistakes.
Huo Yuhao wasnt the fastest, but he was among the top three. Ye Yulin understood why Yuhao wasnt the fastest; he was tired!
Considering how tense Huo Yuhao was when he made his soul tool earlier, it was quite comndable that he could maintain a top three position in this technical test!
