Douluo Continent: A Man of Unparalleled Talent and Heaven-Defying Comprehension

Chapter 210 Nangong Wan: Hiss~~~ (Please subscribe!!!)

"Is this contestant number sixty-six planning to create an eighth-level soul tool?"

As the audience watched Su Yu melt and forge large quantities of high-grade rare metals, performing various intricate forging techniques, they began to speculate.

Among the audience, those who were purely there for entertainment were a minority; the vast majority of those watching were either Soul Masters or came with a group of Soul Masters.

Even if someone is there to gamble on rare metals, they can't be completely ignorant about soul tools.

Su Yu is currently processing a large amount of rare metals.

A pair of forging hammers swung continuously in his hands, striking various rare metals between liquid and solid states, their internal structures constantly adjusting under the infiltration of Su Yu's soul power.

The final round of the competition had plenty of time, a full five hours.

An hour had passed when Su Yu arrived.

The forging process took Su Yu a full two hours.

This demonstrates the importance of materials in the manufacture of soul tools.

Rare metals possess extraordinary properties and are of extremely high quality due to the accumulation of vital energy over many years.

However, most rare metals are fine for making low- or mid-level soul tools, but they are not suitable for making high-level soul tools.

The production of level eight and nine soul tools has begun to demand just as much attention as the construction of the core magic array.

Su Yu even suspected that the fact that his level nine soul tool hadn't broken through to level ten was also related to the materials used.

Kong Deming also agreed with Su Yu's idea. In fact, his own previous approach to breaking through to the tenth level Soul Master was to continuously nurture it with his own soul power, improve the foundation of the ninth-level peak Silver Moon Divine Light Shield he made, and finally upgrade its core array in one fell swoop, thereby transforming it into a tenth-level Soul Guidance Device.

After Su Yu finished forging the alloy, he ran his right hand across his brow, and the Blade of Life appeared in his hand. He then began to carve on the alloy.

Soul power emanated from the tip of the Blade of Life, continuously outlining the core magic array within the alloy.

time flies.

The production of the level eight soul tool was completed within four hours, and Su Yu could only try his best to ensure the success rate.

As for the final quality, it can only rely on the continuous nurturing of the alloy by its own vitality during the forging and engraving process.

Fortunately, Su Yu did not make any mistakes.

At the last moment, as the final line was drawn, the massive metal alloy sword in Su Yu's hand was covered with densely packed lines that shimmered with a unique brilliance.

"It's a success!"

As the audience watched the glowing alloy giant sword in Su Yu's hand and felt the energy fluctuations as the patterns closed, they all turned their attention to Su Yu.

The referee panel.

"Such a tightly woven core magic array!"

Looking at the position of Su Yu on the arena, the light emitted by the greatsword made of metallic alloy faintly reflected the core magic array.

Through these mappings, we can roughly determine some of the basic elements of the core magic array.

The core magic array of the level eight soul tool made by Su Yu is incredibly complex, far more so than that of a typical level eight soul tool.

But this is also a form of protection.

Su Yu used a more complex core magic array, naturally bypassing many high-difficulty depictions that were prone to errors.

However, by inscribing the core magic array to such an intricate degree, Su Yu has already demonstrated his capabilities.

"With his abilities, if there were no time limit, he might be able to create a truly top-tier level eight soul tool!"

The only level eight Soul Master in the judging panel sighed.

Even he, the referee, had to admit that he couldn't do what Su Yu did.

The ability to use more cumbersome methods to avoid the chance of failure demonstrates a higher level of soul guide production.

Su Yu was the only contestant to create an eighth-level soul tool. With his successful creation, the result of this final round of the competition was naturally settled, and there was no need for any so-called practical test.

A level eight soul tool, or even an offensive soul tool like a greatsword.

On the other side of the Ordinary Alliance's arena, Huo Yuhao crafted a level seven soul tool.

In terms of the quality of the soul tool, Huo Yuhao's quality did not significantly surpass that of the others, and further practical tests are still needed.

However, Huo Yuhao had too many advantages, and the soul tools he created were outstanding in their function, either being more convenient or having unique effects.

Ultimately, Huo Yuhao undoubtedly took first place in the Ordinary Alliance competition.

"How is it?"

On the way back to Mingde Hall, Su Yu asked Huo Yuhao about his gains.

"Brother Yu, the forces behind these three major black markets are really complicated."

Huo Yuhao kept his mental detection sharing active the entire time.

Although there are soul tools in the three major black markets that can shield mental power, these soul tools are activated for any important matters, so Huo Yuhao cannot detect the details.

However, it was precisely because the shielding soul tool was activated that Huo Yuhao found the screening process much easier.

Huo Yuhao had a complete grasp of who entered which room and then activated the jammer.

Although we don't know the specifics of what was discussed, having this list makes the investigation much easier.

"Brother Yu, the forces behind these three major black markets basically encompass all the great nobles, and their influence is deeply entrenched. Are you sure we want to take action against them?"

Huo Yuhao was slightly worried.

This is a huge mess; if it gets out of hand, Mingdetang may also face enormous pressure.

"Don't worry, we won't go too far."

This world is one where strength reigns supreme, and it is impossible to truly eliminate class contradictions. Naturally, Su Yu would not harbor any idea of ​​eliminating the aristocratic class.

It can only be said that it limits things to a certain extent.

Soon, Su Yu will attempt to implement reforms and promote a new order. He needs to give the nobles a heads-up beforehand so that the reforms can proceed more smoothly.

As for Huo Yuhao's concern about the pressure that the nobility would bring to Mingde Hall.

As the saying goes, this world is all about strength. With the combined power of Su Yu and Jing Hongchen, plus the current power of Mingde Hall, even if the nobles within the Sun Moon Empire hold power, they will not be able to have a substantial impact on Mingde Hall.

On the contrary, Mingde Hall is about to promote universal cultivation techniques and spread the Battle Armor system technology. The entire Soul Master and Soul Instructor world can be said to be grateful to Mingde Hall.

The nobles would not oppose Mingdetang at this time.

Besides, Su Yu isn't stupid; he won't just blindly attack someone.

Sweet dates will also be provided.

"We can give the nobles behind the Ordinary Alliance and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce a warning, but the important thing is the power behind the Xishui Alliance. The entire Xishui Alliance is a base of the Holy Spirit Cult. No matter how complicated the forces behind them are, they are all inseparable from the evil soul masters."

Su Yu's current plan is to focus on this group of nobles.

Under the guise of cracking down on evil spirit masters, there's no need to worry about a backlash against these nobles.

It wouldn't be a problem to completely eradicate the problem.

"Summarize the information you have and hand it over to the hall master in a moment. We can then begin our targeted investigation."

"Okay, Brother Yu."

After thinking for a while, Huo Yuhao returned to his dormitory and began to organize the materials. After finishing everything, he went to Jing Hongchen's office and handed the organized list to Jing Hongchen.

"Yes, I understand what Xiaoyu means."

Jing Hongchen focused on checking the noble information related to the Xishui Alliance, browsing through all the nobles, big and small.

"These are only a small part."

In fact, the previous emperor had been secretly cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult. However, the emperor at that time was in poor health and worried about his reputation after his death, so he did not truly accept it. It was just a half-hearted deal. On the surface, he continued to carry out the work of eliminating evil spirit masters.

But the fact that the Holy Spirit Cult was able to take root within the Sun and Moon Empire speaks volumes.

It can be said that after such a long period of infiltration, the shadow of evil soul masters can be seen in many places in the Sun Moon Empire. This is also the problem that Xu Tianran discovered in the Great Soul Arena.

"Old Ma, send someone to investigate these people."

After receiving the list, Elder Ma hesitated slightly and asked, "Master, shouldn't we report this to His Majesty?"

Jing Hongchen waved his hand and said, "Just use the power of Mingde Hall to investigate directly. There's no need to report to His Majesty."

Anyway, he had already reported it. Xu Tianran wanted to investigate, but this might have leaked information and made him unable to agree on the surface.

Since that's the case, then we might as well not report it at all.

Jing Hongchen knew in his heart that what he was doing was wrong. By doing so, Mingde Hall had clearly exceeded its authority and even went beyond the emperor's authority to investigate within the empire. This in itself was enough for Xu Tianran to use this as an excuse to remove him from his position as the hall master.

However, Mingdetang cannot do without Jing Hongchen now, and Xu Tianran cannot replace him at this time.

Because of his collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult, Jing Hongchen already had a bad attitude towards Xu Tianran. In addition, his own strength improved, which greatly reduced his awe of Xu Tianran, the emperor.

Anyway, I'm working for the empire, not for the emperor of Xu Tianran's generation.

When Xu Tianran abdicates and the next emperor ascends the throne, ruling a complete and healthy empire, everything Jing Hongchen has done will have meaning.

Old Ma left with the list and began arranging for people to investigate the changes in the nobles on the list who had at least a seventh-level Soul Master over the past ten years.

"The soul cultivation system still needs improvement."

Su Yu returned to his dormitory and began to further refine his soul cultivation system.

The issue involves the fusion of martial spirit and soul master, and Su Yu also needs to do a lot of deductions to combine them.

"The fusion of a martial soul and a soul master is nothing more than the soul master's exploration of the martial soul and the promotion of external forces."

Digging can be gradually promoted through a combination of exercises and visualization.

"The entry threshold for visualization techniques needs to be lowered. Without opening up the sea of ​​the mind, it is too difficult to get started with my visualization techniques."

"The basic visualization method involves coordinating the circulation of soul power within the cultivation technique to visualize corresponding images to achieve the purpose of visualization. No, it should be about visualizing one's own martial soul, visualizing the characteristics of one's own martial soul. As one's understanding of the martial soul deepens, this visualized martial soul will become increasingly similar to one's own martial soul, thereby enhancing the fusion between the soul master and the martial soul."

In this way, with a foundation in basic visualization techniques, one can quickly enter the realm of true visualization techniques after opening up the sea of ​​the mind.

Furthermore, the existence of the basic visualization method will undoubtedly enhance a Soul Master's spiritual power, lowering the minimum requirement for opening the Sea of ​​Spirit. Opening the Sea of ​​Spirit earlier allows for more thorough cultivation of spiritual power. Additionally, the visualization method is easier to learn, and spiritual power cultivation is more efficient. If there is hope of breaking through to the Title Douluo level in the future, the threshold for becoming a Super Douluo will be significantly lowered.

Everything is subtly improving the overall cultivation level of Soul Masters.

Su Yu knew that creating a godhood, especially a god-king, was definitely not something that could be achieved simply through his own enlightenment.

There are too many difficulties involved, and Su Yu must be fully prepared to handle them.

And the strong support he could rely on was the vast community of Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent.

"It's not widespread yet, but innate soul power has still affected quite a few people."

"First, we need to get the soul cultivation system sorted out!"

Su Yu believed that if the Soul Master's fusion with his Martial Soul increased, the quality of the next generation would improve.

Developing the Soul Cultivation System well is itself an improvement in the overall quality of the Soul Master community.

Furthermore, if we want to give more opportunities to the descendants of those who do not have innate soul power, the soul cultivation system should be the best way.

Su Yu quickly perfected the basic visualization method, which was actually a supplement to the general cultivation method itself, incorporating the auxiliary visualization part into it.

By the time this step was completed, it was already dawn.

"This is where the benefits of ending the competition come in."

Su Yu can continue his research.

"Besides their own efforts, the fusion of martial spirit and soul master can also be promoted by external forces."

External force, which is the fusion-type soul ring that Su Yu had anticipated.

The essence and blood of a soul beast, containing the power of its bloodline, condenses into a fusion soul ring. The spirit, blood, and martial soul combine to form a soul ring, which is the best way to promote the fusion of the soul master and the martial soul.

In the blink of an eye, a day has passed.

Su Yu theoretically developed a preliminary method for condensing fusion-type soul rings.

His comprehension is extraordinary.

This is Su Yu's essence; his soul is inherently close to the rules, making it very easy for him to comprehend them.

As he delved deeper into the cultivation of his spiritual power, his speed of comprehension became increasingly abnormal.

Of course, the foundation Su Yu had accumulated was also indispensable in organizing the theoretical prototype of this fusion-type soul ring so quickly.

Creating something from nothing?

Anyone with a modicum of sense knows that this can't happen too quickly.

When Su Yu was perfecting his runes, he needed to cultivate them by following the patterns of the core array of the soul tool.

Although he was able to refine and outline runes on his own through his understanding of the essence of runes, the speed was never ideal.

However, as Su Yu accumulated more and more knowledge and continuously improved his understanding of runes, he himself accumulated a large number of basic patterns for rune construction.

This is the most perfect manifestation of the pattern under his thorough understanding and guidance by the rules.

Just like learning a language, once your vocabulary expands, everything becomes much easier. If you want to write an article, you simply select and combine words from your vocabulary to complete the description.

"We'll refine it a bit more tomorrow, then we can try letting Yuhao start researching it."

The condensation of a soul core is not difficult in itself, especially since Huo Yuhao gained some insights during the Soul Battle Tournament, and the state of oneness with heaven and man greatly reduced the difficulty of condensing his soul core.

Although he didn't have Su Yu's perfect success rate in calculating every single strand of soul power, Huo Yuhao felt that condensing the soul core wasn't too dangerous.

"Yuhao, are you ready?"

"Don't worry, Brother Yu, I've already got myself into peak condition."

"Yes, Master Ye Yulin should be making an appearance this time. Try to establish a preliminary connection with him using your mental power to avoid any unnecessary conflicts later."

"it is good."

The Underground Arena.

Tonight, the three major competition venues will be combined for the final round of matches.

Su Yu, Huo Yuhao, and the winner of this Soul Master Competition from the Xi Shui Alliance will simultaneously create the best Soul Tools within their capabilities for final evaluation.

It is very similar to the final round of the competition in the preliminary rounds.

However, it seems that the early termination of the Soul Fighting Tournament has given the Soul Master Tournament more time to prepare for the championship battle.

"Ten hours?"

With a production time of ten hours, if you're lucky, you might be able to create an eighth-level soul tool.

Su Yu looked at the Soul Master who had won first place in the Xi Shui Alliance.

"Are you trying to get him to create an eighth-level soul tool in the final match?"

This Soul Master Competition is also an operation by the Xishui Alliance against the other two major black markets. The Xishui Alliance wants to use the competition to complete the merger of the three major black markets and completely unify the underground black market of Mingdu.

This demonstrates the extent to which the evil spirit masters have infiltrated the Sun Moon Empire.

They have infiltrated enough to take control of the entire Mingdu black market!

To achieve their goal at the end of the competition, Xishui Alliance first needs to ensure that their own players win the final championship, which will make their subsequent actions easier.

Upon learning that contestant number 66 from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce had created an eighth-level soul tool in the final round, the Xishui Alliance requested that the final match be extended.

Since the Soul Fighting Tournament has already been terminated early, the extension of the finals will not have any impact.

The final match has begun.

Su Yu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the rare metal on the workbench.

"Magic Crystal, Meteorite Iron, Star Steel, Nether Iron, Crystal Steel, Blazing Sun Gold."

Looking at these many high-grade rare metals, Su Yu's heart was stirred.

This configuration is so good that it could even be used to create a level nine soul tool.

"The three major black markets have a much larger foundation than I imagined."

Many of these rare metals are prohibited from being bought, sold, or mined privately; they are subject to absolute control by the Sun Moon Empire.

However, during this Soul Master Competition, the Aodu Chamber of Commerce provided him with these high-grade rare metals.

"It seems they themselves have realized the ambitions of the Evening Water Alliance, and they are putting their efforts into this competition."

Su Yu didn't observe further. He took out two rare metals, meteorite iron and star steel, and took out a piece the size of a fist for each.

Placed in the forging table, Su Yu directly circulated his soul power, transforming it into crimson flames to heat the two metals.

The flames that Su Yu transformed were comparable to the ultimate fire, and in just a moment they completely melted the two rare metals, even showing signs of vaporization!

Soul power flowed through the two rare metallic liquids, dragging the two liquids together.

The flame went out, and the temperature of the molten metal began to drop.

A forging hammer appeared in Su Yu's hand, and he struck the nodes that his mental energy sensed one by one.

Bang bang bang!

With each hammer blow, Su Yu perfectly fused the two rare metals together. He then continued to forge the final alloy. The immense hammer force continuously compressed the volume of the alloy, completely expelling the tiny internal gaps. Even the internal structure of the alloy began to change under each hammer blow.

Su Yu's forging techniques are just common methods, but he has perfected them.

Although this skill was sufficient for making the soul tools he wanted, Su Yu felt that he should still choose to improve in this area in the future.

"There is a metal capital in Douluo Continent, and a blacksmith's guild. Perhaps I should go there and take a look."

Of course, we'll talk about that when we have time.

Su Yu cooled the forged alloy and began carving.

"Oh no!"

"This number 66 is even more formidable than we imagined."

Watching Su Yu forge the alloy, one of the eighth-level Soul Masters in the Xi Shui Alliance felt the pressure.

Hearing the evaluation from the alliance's chief soul master, Nangong Wan, the leader of the Xishui Alliance, turned pale.

"Do you think there's a big gap between him and Number One?"

The chief Soul Master shook his head and said, "There's no comparison. It's like the difference between someone who has barely managed to create an eighth-level Soul Tool and someone who is currently attempting to become a ninth-level Soul Master, or even an eighth-level Soul Master with a very high success rate!"

Upon hearing this comparison, Nangong Wan's gaze towards Su Yu began to change.

Do such prodigies really exist?

The Soul Master Competition requires participants to be no older than thirty.

He reached this point before he was even thirty.

This is equivalent to a Soul Master reaching level 90 before the age of 30, only needing a ninth Soul Ring to become a Title Douluo.

Does Mingdetang have a genius of this caliber?

Although Nangong Wan did not have all the information about the personnel in Mingde Hall, a genius of this caliber could not possibly remain unknown.

A name flashed through Nangong Wan's mind.

"Su Yu!"

He is Su Yu!

Su Yu's strength displayed in the Soul Battle Tournament has already shocked everyone, especially if his Soul Master level has also reached nearly level nine.

It's not that it's unacceptable.

After all, Su Yu's battle armor was said to be composed of a complete set of top-tier level eight soul tools.

Nangong Wan gasped.

Su Yu has come to participate in the Soul Master Competition.

As the most talented person of his generation in Mingde Hall, and a disciple of Kong Deming, does he lack rare metals?

No shortage!

There will definitely be no shortage.

Let alone Su Yu, Mingde Hall has no shortage of most Soul Masters. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so few Soul Masters from Mingde Hall participating in this Soul Master Competition.

So why did Su Yu participate in this Soul Fighting Tournament?

Did you learn about the reward for the final level nine soul tool through a secret channel?

The probability is low. Su Yu could easily obtain the Sun and Moon Divine Needle, a level-nine soul tool, through Kong Deming.

So why did Su Yu come here?

"Representing Mingdetang?" Nangong Wan thought to herself.

If you're representing Mingdetang, what's the purpose?

The answer is obvious.

After all, the clash between Mingdetang and the Holy Spirit Church was already quite evident during the day yesterday.

"Hiss~" Nangong Wan gasped and said, "I didn't expect that Mingde Hall had already had designs on the Holy Sect so early on, and sent Su Yu to participate in the Soul Master Competition in person."

Su Yu's choice of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce venue instead of the Xishui Alliance might be due to this factor.

"wrong!"

Nangong Wan turned her head to look at the number 88 contestant from the Ordinary Alliance.

"This Soul Master is also from Mingde Hall. Could he be Huo Yuhao?"

Writing at home is really difficult, and there are so many trivial things to do, so I haven't been able to update as much as I expected.

Although the great battle is over, these few chapters represent a crucial turning point, signaling the start of the next phase. Writing about this requires careful consideration, hence my limited writing. I hope you understand.
