Chapter 111 Stealing the Young Master? (Please Subscribe!!!)

After the initial familiarization process, Xu Yuan, who was controlling the mecha, began to perform increasingly complex movements.

He adapted very quickly.

He fully mastered the mecha movements corresponding to his fingers, and quickly completed the comparison of the stimulation intensity of the soul power corresponding to the force on the soul guidance array, and applied it to actual control.

Generally speaking, since mechs are not their own hands and feet, and their operation requires a conversion process, they are very difficult to control.

Just like playing a game, there are corresponding buttons to control the game character, but very few players can truly achieve a complete unity between their own will and the hero they are controlling, and control the hero's actions completely smoothly.

Even with a long period of practice and practice, one can only become familiar with the average hero in the game. However, those exceptional heroes that require true mental and physical harmony to master cannot be achieved through simple familiarity. Even if one can master the operation through repetitive practice, it is still impossible to find the best opportunity to enter the fray at the right time in a real game and push the operation to its limit.

The same applies to mech control.

Without talent, even with practice, one may only be able to simply repeat the actions of controlling a mech.

Even if you learn someone's special skills, it's just a superficial understanding; you won't be able to find opportunities in real combat or truly unleash the full potential of the mecha.

It is precisely because of this that mechs have gradually been phased out from the highest level of Soul Masters.

After all, such talent is even rarer and more difficult to cultivate than pure combat talent. This is equivalent to adding another restriction on top of the existing talent requirements, demanding not only strong talent and achievements in a secondary profession, but also this so-called talent for mecha piloting. These combined conditions result in very few Soul Masters having the opportunity to become top-tier mecha pilots. Furthermore, mecha piloting is extremely expensive, and there are external factors such as the shortage of Divine Craftsmen leading to a supply shortage of Heavenly Forging Metal.

All these factors combined led to the gradual decline of mecha pilots.

As is generally known, the reason why mecha pilots were replaced by battle armor pilots is that the top powerhouses among soul masters explored the so-called battle armor pilots in order to maintain their own status.

However, in reality, it's simply because Battle Armor Masters consume less resources, have lower requirements, and currently have a high potential.

Otherwise, if there were truly enough Heavenly Forged Metal, and a god-level mech had ever appeared—that is, a mech entirely made of Heavenly Forged Metal, with its core magic array inscribed within reaching level ten or even higher, level eleven, according to the Soul Guidance Device assessment—the status of mech pilots would definitely not be what it is now.

Even with the slightest chance, countless crazy Soul Masters would still pursue that god-level mecha!

There definitely will be.

Especially those exceptionally talented and monstrous geniuses who excel in every aspect.

Shrek Academy happens to be a gathering place for such monsters, so if a god-level mech really appeared, the atmosphere among the mech pilots here would never be as stagnant as it is now.

Xu Yuan only stopped trying when he felt that he had consumed 10% of his soul power.

In just ten minutes, Xu Yuan had consumed one-tenth of his soul power.

This is just a warm-up, not the battle.

Simply controlling a mech for action consumes 10% of one's soul power in ten minutes. If one has just been engaged in a fierce battle, then the consumption in ten minutes would be at least 30%, or even 40% if the battle is more intense.

If the mech is equipped with a soul-power-driven energy-type soul tool, the consumption will only be higher.

"This is probably because the proportion of my soul power in the energy drive is too high."

Although Xu Yuan did not fully utilize his own soul power in this operation, but instead activated the energy already stored in the mecha, he mixed his soul power with the stored energy and operated them together in the soul guidance array for more precise control.

This ratio is not low.

Xu Yuan was also adjusting the ratio of the two energies.

The quantitative stimulation of the magic array by energy can cause a quantitative change in the force of the mecha's joints. This quantitative stimulation also needs to be controlled. Xu Yuan can naturally maintain the stimulation of the magic array by his soul power according to his will, but if he guides his soul power to stimulate the magic array together with the external energy, it will be difficult to control the degree.

It was also because he had experience in manipulating the primordial energy of heaven and earth and was very skilled in guiding external energy that he was able to quickly find a suitable ratio for himself and adjust the ratio of soul power to the energy stored in the mecha itself to one to three.

This is the optimal ratio of his soul power to mobilize the primordial energy of heaven and earth when he uses the Heavenly Origin Brush martial spirit.

"How is it? You've noticed the depletion of your soul power too, haven't you?" Xingyu stepped forward and smiled at Xu Yuan.

Although he was smiling, Xingyu's heart was in turmoil.

This junior student has an extraordinary talent for learning mecha; he was practically born for it.

If he continues to persevere in the future, he may very well become a master of mecha!

Despite his inner shock and excitement, Xingyu still had to maintain the demeanor of a teacher on the surface, otherwise he worried that Xu Yuan would become arrogant and complacent and not study diligently in class.

"Yes, senior, the mecha consumes too much energy."

Even disregarding the large amount of rare metals consumed in the construction of the mecha's massive body, the cost of replenishing its energy each time is also considerable.

Of course, compared to the energy consumption of building mechs, this energy consumption is much less. After all, the so-called energy can be recharged by the Soul Master when he has nothing to do. There are energy storage devices inside the mechs, which store energy similar to Soul Power, called Soul-like Power. There are also devices that store electricity. However, when the mechs are used, the internal structure of the mechs needs to convert the electricity into Soul-like Power so that the Soul Master can more easily guide this energy with his own Soul Power.

With the development of soul guidance technology, electricity has long been used. Soul-like power can be converted into electricity. This conversion can be achieved through external devices when the mecha is charging, without the need to install additional conversion devices inside the mecha, thus reducing the burden on the mecha. Therefore, most mechas store soul-like power.

Of course, some Soul Masters have a higher level of control over electricity and can use electricity directly as an energy source without the need for external conversion devices, so they will choose electricity for the energy storage of their mechs.

Furthermore, a Soul Master's Soul Power can also be stored, along with Soul-like Power, in an energy storage device.

Xu Yuan looked at him with an expression of agreement.

"It's only been ten minutes, and I've already used up one-tenth of my soul power." Xu Yuan was also very serious.

Xingyu's face stiffened.

To seize the young?
