Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 260 Core Magic Array and Soul Ring Patterns: A Bold Idea (4K)

After meeting with his teacher and senior, everything returned to normal.

Huo Yuhao understood that whether it was his two teachers refining those true dragon soul bones, or his senior brother absorbing immortal herbs to evolve and become a true Soul Douluo, it would all take a considerable amount of time.

Therefore, he has shifted his focus to Soul Orbs and Soul Armor, as well as the Undead Plane and Dragon Valley Minor World.

Su Tong undoubtedly awakened the true Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul and joined the Extreme Path, becoming one of Huo Yuhao's core members.

Besides Su Tong, Xiao Xiao, who had previously sealed Wang Dong's soul and erased his memories at the Haotian Sect, also entered the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Huo Yuhao did not invest a lot of resources in her. Although she had twin martial souls, her situation was different from Su Tong's. His view of Xiao Xiao was that she would be Su Tong's little maid in the future.

After the changes on the mainland, there are some things he definitely won't want to manage. So, the best candidate who is capable and suitable for the task is Su Tong. At that time, Xiao Xiao will be by his side and will be able to help her a lot.

During this time, in addition to handling trivial matters, Huo Yuhao also took the time to meet with Lin Jiayi and Wang Yan.

Of these two, Lin Jiayi has now become the director of the entire teaching and research departments of the Sun Moon Soul Mentor Academy, which is partly due to Huo Yuhao's influence.

Moreover, he is also a decent Soul Master. Although he has not broken through to level nine, he still has considerable influence in the Mingde Hall due to his connection with Huo Yuhao.

It can be said that the 10,000 gold soul coins he made back then, along with those investments that seem insignificant now, have brought him exceptionally rich returns.

Old Lin is still responsible for the duties of the admissions office director, and he often wanders around the teaching department whenever he has free time, which he insisted on doing himself.

The reason, of course, is that after discovering Huo Yuhao back then, he always thought that he might be able to find another talented young man among the freshmen in the future.

Although he knew it was impossible for another Huo Yuhao to appear, he felt satisfied even with just one-tenth of Huo Yuhao's talent.

After all, Gu Yuena from back then was a perfect example. She was even taken in as a disciple by the dean, and her strength and talent were able to keep up with Yuhao's pace.

Although it was Yuhao who brought it back, this precisely proves that there are countless geniuses in this world, just waiting to be discovered.

Lin Jiayi felt that he was the talent scout, so he was never stingy with his support for any promising young talents in the teaching department.

And then there's Wang Yan, who's currently thriving at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

After he was brought back by Huo Yuhao, although he was no longer restricted in many ways and could teach students and freely enter the academy's library, there was always one place on his mind.

Moreover, because he stood up openly back then, he offended Xuanzi and Shrek Academy's vested interests, causing Shrek Academy's reputation to be ruined, and he always felt uneasy.

He was worried about Shrek Academy's retaliation, but he was also afraid that Shrek's brainwashed monitoring team disciples would plot to kill him in secret, especially since Sun Moon Academy was considered to be the stronghold of evil soul masters.

Therefore, for a long time after arriving in Riyue, he rarely left Mingdu.

But fortunes change, and Shrek Academy was destroyed, and by a combined force of the Sun Moon Sect and the Body Sect. Was it painful? Not really, but a sense of loss and emptiness was inevitable.

No matter what, Shrek Academy was the pillar of his life in the first half of his life, a place he was willing to dedicate everything to. Even though Shrek Academy had let him down and wronged him, he still felt a pang of sadness when he heard that Shrek Academy, which had lasted for ten thousand years, was really gone.

But why is he described as high-spirited? Because Xuanzi is dead, and the remaining Shrek members are unlikely to remember such an insignificant guy as him, which means he is completely safe from now on.

Moreover, after Shrek Academy was destroyed, Sun Moon obtained a lot of good things from Shrek Academy and Shrek City, especially Huo Yuhao, who packed up all the classics in the Shrek Academy Library.

All the precious ancient texts from the past ten thousand years, and the research and summaries of martial souls by generations of Shrek people, were now unconditionally opened to Wang Yan. How could he not be excited?

His greatest pursuit was to dedicate his life to the research of martial soul theory. His original plan was to become Huo Yuhao's martial soul development planner, but after witnessing the speed of Huo Yuhao's growth, this idea was completely erased from his mind.

He discovered that Huo Yuhao was growing and learning too fast, and his theories simply couldn't sustain him in helping Huo Yuhao for long.

Therefore, he found a new pursuit, which was also Huo Yuhao's arrangement for him: to organize and copy these classic texts and make a complete backup of them.

This not only satisfies his insatiable thirst for knowledge, but the countless classic texts that were copied down will also become the new foundation for Huo Yuhao to establish the Extreme Dao Organization in the future.

The academy, Huo Yuhao's residence.

Inside the underground chamber.

Since becoming an eighth-level Soul Master, Huo Yuhao has not been able to truly focus on learning about Soul Tools for a long time.

Now that he has become a Title Douluo, and with the leap in his mental strength, he plans to become a true Level 9 Soul Master in the coming period, before the start of the competition held in Mingdu.

In fact, if he wanted to, with the experience of his own teacher Kong Deming, it wouldn't be long before he became a level 10 Soul Master.

However, in this era, the Soul Master profession is not as detailed as in the original route. A level nine Soul Master needs to master an extremely complex and vast knowledge system.

It involves not only theoretical knowledge, but also requires Soul Masters to be proficient in metal processing, manufacturing, designing and inscribing core magic arrays, as well as final assembly, etc.

At this time, the Soul Master can be said to be doing the work of several people, a true all-rounder.

Huo Yuhao naturally needs to master all this knowledge. Not only that, he also needs to become a pioneer. As for whether the Soul Master profession should be further subdivided in the future, that is another matter to be considered.

His residence is located underground, connected to the main source of soul guidance energy supply for the academy. It was built by the Hall of Offerings at the special request of his teacher, Kong Deming. It not only has a soul guidance manufacturing platform that far surpasses that of the Mingde Hall headquarters, but also all the equipment a soul guidance master needs for research.

It was essentially a more advanced miniature Mingde Hall, perfectly suited for any metalworking and soul tool manufacturing he could undertake here.

The soul sphere that Xuan Ziwen was researching was being disassembled by Huo Yuhao, and the intricate small mechanical parts were being laid out one by one on the table.

The main body of the Soul Orb is a red and white, palm-sized metal sphere with an identification button in the middle.

Because it is connected to special necromancy, the Soul Orb is driven by magic and then converts energy based on the attributes of different Soul Beasts. In theory, it is a particle container with a designed spatial logic.

The magical contract between spirits and humans was left with a backdoor by Huo Yuhao and Elder Yi. Only when a spirit beast chooses to form a contract with a human and voluntarily becomes a spirit can it achieve energy resonance, enter a particle superposition state, and enter the spirit sphere.

Before a soul beast becomes a soul spirit, it is impossible to subdue it with a soul orb.

However, necromancy naturally leads to a new problem.

That means only a soul sphere created from a core magic circle inscribed with necromancy can contain souls. So, how should necromancy be popularized?

The material of a Soul Orb also determines the age of the Soul Beast it can contain. Soul Orbs made of ordinary metal can only contain ordinary hundred-year and thousand-year Soul Spirits, but ten-thousand-year Soul Spirits are much more powerful, and the required Soul Orb level is naturally higher.

Especially for a 100,000-year-old soul spirit, a soul sphere made of ordinary metal is unlikely to contain its powerful primordial energy; it requires an even more powerful metal.

The future goal of the Soul Orb should not be like this. At the very least, the Soul Orb should be universal and the materials used to make it should not be too high-end. At the very least, it should be affordable for those lower-level Soul Masters.

He did not deny that soul orbs that could contain ten-thousand-year-old and one-hundred-thousand-year-old souls did require better metals and rarer materials, but soul orbs that could contain hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old souls should be designed for the general public, so that most soul beast masters in the future could obtain and use them.

If the scarcity of Soul Orbs creates a barrier, then it would truly be a case of losing more than one gains.

Necromancy doesn't need to change with the age of the soul, since the necromancy on the soul orb is essentially a medium used to connect with contract magic.

He shook his head after thinking about it.

Why should these two types of necromancy be popularized?

Huo Yuhao realized he had fallen into a cognitive trap.

If the existence of contract magic is truly based on word of mouth, wouldn't this just be another brand-new martial soul awakening ceremony? In the end, it would still be controlled by those in power to oppress and enslave the lower classes.

He could even imagine that a thousand or ten thousand years later, resources would once again be concentrated in the hands of those in power, and this necromancy would become something like the current martial spirit awakening ritual.

To contract a soul beast, one must rely on a small number of powerful individuals or families with a long lineage of soul spirits. Ordinary people without background or resources must submit to these people if they want to contract a soul beast. How is this any different from the current situation? This is not what he wants to see.

In that case, if Soul Masters want to establish a necromancy pact with Soul Beasts, they should make it an instinct, like a rule that already exists in this world.

When a human chooses their destined soul beast, and the soul beast is willing to become the human's soul spirit, this contract will take effect, linking the fates of the two together.

Given his current status on the other side of the plane's will, it shouldn't be difficult for him to turn this into the rules of the world through certain means; it just takes time.

Just like how a Soul Master kills a Soul Beast and the Soul Beast generates a Soul Ring.

In the future, as long as a certain tacit understanding is established between a Soul Master and a Soul Beast, and both parties are willing, this rule can be invoked to reach a contract.

The necromancy within the Soul Orb is easy to deal with. Since Soul Orbs will be mass-produced in the future, why not turn the necromancy within them into a completely new core magic array?

Over the years, Huo Yuhao has observed many things and discovered that the patterns on the core magic array are remarkably similar to the patterns on the soul rings of soul masters.

Soul tools use a core magic array as their energy core and the soul power of a soul master as their medium to launch attacks.

Therefore, it is a bold speculation that the core magic array is actually equivalent to a lifeless soul ring. Both involve certain rules of another level of this world. The difference is that one relies on a soul ring and the other relies on a core magic array.

To take it a step further, the emergence of the core magic array is actually a product of generations of human ancestors who, by referencing the energy operation of spirit rings, redesigned the structure.

Defensive soul tools are based on defensive soul rings, while offensive soul tools use core magic circles based on offensive soul rings.
Therefore, since necromancy itself requires summoning spells and the construction of magic circles, it seems not impossible to modify the energy flow of these magic circles and spells into a circuit adapted to this world and inscribe it into the core magic circle.

Having figured this out, Huo Yuhao immediately began his experiments.

If things are as I think, then this not only means that the problem of the Soul Orb will be solved smoothly and the system will be completely finished in the future, but it also means that I have opened the door to a new world.

There are countless soul rings and soul skills. If he can truly connect the energy circuits of the soul rings and the core magic array, then he will usher in a new era of soul tools.

Those predecessors at most had thousand-year or ten-thousand-year soul rings as a reference, at most a hundred thousand years, but he had a whole set of hundred thousand-year soul rings, or even eight hundred thousand-year, nine hundred thousand-year, and million-year soul rings.

If the underlying logic can be figured out, it means that level 11, 12, and even 13 soul tools will appear in line with the times.

For example, the spirit detection and sharing spirit skill in the Heavenly Dream Soul Ring can simulate the effects of spirit interference. If the soul ring is indeed related to the energy operation pattern of the core magic array, then this means that a soul tool capable of detection, sharing, and simulation will appear.

Radar, stealth, simulation, or something else—but as I said before, the actual number of spirit rings and spirit skills is enormous. This is the gateway to a new world.

The profession of Soul Master will usher in a new era. In the future, Soul Masters will no longer need to follow the experience of their predecessors or imitate those core magic arrays. Instead, they can all create their own Soul Guidance Devices.

Moreover, his long-cherished plan to fuse soul bones and metal to create soul armor, and to inscribe necromancy onto the soul armor, could also be implemented in this way.

Having figured out the underlying logic, Huo Yuhao immediately began his experiment, starting with the Soul Orb.

First, transform the necromancy on the soul orb into a core magic circle, and then experiment with the relationship between the soul ring and the core magic circle.

Indeed, simply imitating others step by step will not allow you to surpass your predecessors. Only by truly understanding the underlying logic can you be qualified to usher in a new era.

Electrolux was filled with satisfaction at the sea of ​​spirit.

To be honest, he had considered this kind of question before. In fact, he had thought about not only the relationship between the core array of the soul tool and the soul ring, but also the existence of soul rings, which are creations of heaven and earth.

Huo Yuhao was truly gratified that he could come up with this idea on his own and cleverly connect his spirit rings, spirit tools, and necromancy together.

Electrolux felt it was necessary to help and speed up Yuhao's progress. After all, compared to this, he was more looking forward to the merging of the two worlds.

"Small eyes."

Upon hearing the shout, the Evil Emperor immediately came running over, his face even showing a hint of flattery.

"Elder Yi, what are your orders?"

"Show me your original energy, the process of when you condensed your spirit ring. Also, tell me in detail what it felt like when your spirit ring condensed as you became a spirit."

The Evil Emperor didn't understand, but he was willing to cooperate.

"it is good"
