Douluo Continent: I got the Sharingan at the start!

Han Yu is not in a hurry to make his own soul tool. He has strong mental power to rely on, and he can make any soul tool much faster than other soul tool masters. He is confident in this.

He didn't want to reveal his full strength too early, so naturally he wouldn't create the strongest soul tool right away.

However, he absolutely cannot lose the game. Observing his opponent, figuring out their strengths and weaknesses, and then formulating a corresponding strategy is the best course of action.

Gao Dalou didn't seem worried at all about Han Yu's observation of him. He took the carving knife, weighed it in his hand a few times, and felt the familiar touch of the handle.

Then, he took a deep breath, held his breath, and began making the soul tool. Gao Da's downward slashing movements were extremely steady, without the slightest hesitation.

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent; the moment Gao Dalu made his first cut, Han Yu felt a chill run down her spine.

That seemingly ordinary carving knife cut into the notoriously hard Star Silver Steel as easily as cutting tofu, without the slightest resistance.

The blade of the carving knife bounced lightly a few times on the surface of the star silver steel, emitting a slight "humming" sound, and in an instant, it carved out three evenly sized grooves.

This carving technique has a saying: "one cut, three tremors," which requires extremely high skill and years of hard practice to achieve.

It not only requires the carving of patterns to be so precise as to be flawless, but also demands extremely strict control over the force applied.

On a rare and precious metal like Star Silver Steel, ordinary people would never dare to use such techniques to carve, because once the carving is ruined, the rare metal is basically useless, or at least it will be impossible to make the core magic array he originally planned.

Without pausing for a moment, Gao Dalu carved, and the carving knife in his hand seemed to come alive, moving across the star silver steel.

His carving speed wasn't particularly fast, but each stroke was precise and steady, as if he had practiced countless times.

Her small eyes were fixed intently on the Star Silver Steel in her hand, determined not to make the slightest mistake.

Before carving, Gao Dalou was not just observing the star silver steel, but rather using his spiritual power to explore its internal structure and find the most suitable texture direction for carving.

Otherwise, he couldn't be so fast, and his movements couldn't be so smooth and natural.

Han Yu remained unhurried. Sitting in the chair in front of the workbench, she simply put down the Flaming Iron in her hand and stared intently at the tall building opposite.

The rhythm and stability of tall buildings also gave him some inspiration.

If you had to describe the process of Gao Dalou making soul tools in four words, it would be "solemn and ancient".

The entire process was simplified, each cut seemed solemn yet extremely precise, without the slightest mistake.

Unlike most Soul Masters, they don't need to first carve out the general shape and then slowly refine it.

He completes everything in one go.

The entire core magic array building was completed in just a quarter of an hour, and a small metal block with many fine magic patterns and nodes appeared in the shape of a cuboid.

Against the backdrop of the silvery sheen of the Star Silver Steel itself, it appears even more breathtaking. Absolutely dazzling.

Looking at it, Gao Lou's eyes were filled with infatuation, as if he were looking at his most beloved woman, and he couldn't help but gently stroke it a few times.

His strange appearance made Han Yu unable to suppress a slight chuckle.

The tall building was startled awake. It looked up at the cold rain opposite it and immediately saw the still intact piece of Flaming Sun Iron in front of it.

"Hey bro, aren't you going to start? Look, my first core magic array is already finished. We're competitors, after all!"

Han Yu chuckled and said, "No rush. Brother Gao, you truly have excellent skills. Your method of crafting soul tools is quite unique! May I ask which soul tool academy you graduated from?"

Gao Dalou said with a bitter expression, "What soul tool do I have that the academy would want?"

They simply cannot afford the tuition fees.

I learned everything at home, and I even practiced making soul tools using ordinary iron blocks.

Don't laugh at me, brother, but this is the first time I've ever seen so many rare metals in real life, especially this Star Silver Steel, it's so beautiful, so beautiful.

The feeling of being in harmony with soul power was simply wonderful.

Ah, if someone could give me a constant supply of rare metals, I'd risk my life for them!

Hopefully, I can win some good stuff from this competition.

Han Yu's heart stirred slightly, and she said, "Brother Gao's ability is truly admirable. Let's continue quickly. Time is limited in the competition."

"Oh, oh, right. Bro, I'll continue then, you keep it up too." As he spoke, he immediately got back to work.

Gao Lou didn't care at all if people thought he was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world; he chose almost always the best materials...

Watching the tall building use the best materials to make the soul tool in his hand, Han Yu couldn't help but nod in approval.

His production method was indeed quite different from that of a traditional Soul Master, especially in the details of some techniques, where he clearly had his own unique approach.

If someone can research and develop soul tools to this extent simply by experimenting, this guy definitely deserves the title of genius!

After finishing one section of the outer shell, Gao Dalou suddenly looked up at Han Yu, who was deep in thought across from him, and said:

"Brother, stop staring at me. You can't tell what I'm doing."

"Our unorthodox methods are so different that even the way we create the core magic array is different from that of ordinary soul masters."

Han Yu was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that his continued staring made the tall building soul master think that he was observing his production in order to target him.

He smiled slightly, offered no explanation, stopped staring at the other person, and began making his own soul tool.

Han Yu used the standard engraving knife from the soul tool making table as before.

He used his right hand to secure the Fiery Sun Iron in front of him onto the crafting table and began the engraving process.

Compared to the imposing simplicity of tall buildings, Han Yu's carvings can be described as precise and fast.

The carving knife in his hand seemed to come alive, constantly dancing at his fingertips.

Every cut was extremely precise. If some teachers from the Soul Master Academy were to see this, they would definitely consider it a textbook example of craftsmanship.

Iron filings flew as a complex core magic array gradually took shape in his carving.

The carving of Han Yu is not a long process; a single cut often only carves a short line, unlike the three transformations of a tall building with a single stroke.

But his movements were too fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already made several cuts, and the connection between each cut was almost indistinguishable from a single cut.

Technically speaking, the "one cut, three changes" technique is much more difficult than the "multiple cuts" technique used by Han Yu, but Han Yu's method is superior in its stability and accuracy.

It's less prone to errors. Moreover, when using a standard engraving knife, the sharpness of the knife is unlikely to guarantee a continuous engraving mark on an extremely hard and rare metal like Flame Sun Iron. It's better to use a short burst of force for engraving.

With the aid of the divine skill of mental detection, carving is not only no different from carving three times in one stroke, but also much faster.

When the tall building finally finished its outer shell and looked up at the cold rain again...

He instantly froze in a daze.

What did he see?

All that could be seen were afterimages dancing on Han Yu's fingertips, making it impossible to see what he was doing. Only fine iron filings were constantly being scattered and evenly spread around him.

This... creating the core magic array so quickly, isn't he afraid of making a mistake?

This was the first thought in the tall building's mind.

He subconsciously looked into Han Yu's eyes. Precisely because he came from an unorthodox background, his understanding of many aspects of making soul tools was more sensitive than that of soul masters from formal academies.

For a Soul Master, eyes are extremely important; one can glean a great deal from the other person's gaze.

What eyes they were!

Clear and without any impurities.

His focus carried a strange depth.

When Gao Dalou focused his attention on Han Yu's eyes, he felt a moment of mental disorientation.

It was as if my entire soul was being sucked away by Han Yu's deep gaze.

Startled, he quickly looked away, lowered his head, and concentrated for a long time before returning to normal.

His mental strength had recovered, but Gao Lou's face was full of bitterness. It was only the first few rounds, and he had already encountered such a strong opponent. It seemed that it would be very difficult to beat him!

Despite the soundproof shield, outside noise cannot reach the competition stage.

However, the high-stakes gamblers who came to watch the game all kept quiet and focused their attention on the objects they were betting on.

Gambling is also a science, and pre-match research is especially important. This includes identifying which Soul Masters have unique characteristics and which Soul Masters might be at a higher level.

They all know what's going on.

It's impossible for an outstanding Soul Master like Han Yu to go unnoticed. Many people had already set their sights on him.

Some people tried betting on him. However, Gao Dalou was more conspicuous than Han Yu, not because of his abilities, but because of the carving knife in his hand.

The carving knife in Gao Dalou's hand was indeed a family heirloom, and it was listed on the carving knife ranking list.

A genuine engraving knife for listing names.

Although the family had fallen on hard times, Gao Lou was secretly protected by some high-level soul masters connected to the family, which was how the carving knife was kept from being coveted by others.

However, those who secretly helped him did not want him to become a powerful Soul Master as well, so their help ended there.

It is precisely because of the existence of that carving knife that the odds for today's battle between Gao Dalou and Han Yu are 1 to 2.3 for Gao Dalou and 1 to 1.2 for Han Yu.

The odds clearly show how gamblers perceive the disparity in strength between the two sides.

Of course, even with these odds, the impact was still due to someone placing a large bet on Han Yu before the match started; otherwise, Han Yu's odds would have been even lower.

No one knew that the one who placed the heavy bet was Han Yu himself.

A faint light flickered, and a look of solemnity appeared on Han Yu's face. He finally stopped carving with his knife, and a spherical core magic array the size of a fist had taken shape in front of him.

The entire core magic array is hollow, making it a beautiful work of art. The dark red Fiery Sun Iron seems to have been given life, emitting a faint red light, and a very dangerous aura is constantly being released from it.

Keep in mind that this was before any soul power was injected.

Unlike the soul guides made by tall buildings, which have as many as three core magic arrays.

The one Han Yu made only had this one core magic array. He then began making the other components, continuing to work quickly.

The tall building team is also busy with the final assembly and debugging work.

In fact, even if he wanted to see Han Yu's production, he couldn't see it clearly at all.

Despite the delays in the beginning, Han Yu is now producing it so fast that it's almost overwhelming. How do you see that?

My eyes were blurry when I looked again.

Time passed second by second, and the first person to complete the creation of his soul tool was none other than Soul Master No. 96.

It took exactly one hour. He glanced indifferently at the other Soul Masters who were busy at work, and then handed over his work.

The second to finish was the opponent of number ninety-six.

When Number 96 announced that he had finished making his creation, his opponent glanced at the completed soul tool and then, looking ashen-faced, abandoned his own creation.

The gap was too obvious; there was no need to continue. Number Ninety-Six had completed a level-five soul tool. One hour. Only one hour!

Most of the Soul Masters were completed gradually after an hour and a half.

This is a competition, not a competition where every Soul Master can create their strongest Soul Tool; there is a time limit.

The best way to make it is to create the strongest soul tool you can within the limited time.

Gao Dalou finished a quarter of an hour earlier than Han Yu, but he was not in a hurry to hand it over. Instead, he stood opposite him and watched Han Yu making the soul tool with only his right hand.

The more he looked, the more alarmed he became.

Although he couldn't tell how the cold rain was made, he still noticed some of the details.

Although he came from a self-taught background, his methods of creating soul tools differed from those of orthodox soul tool masters.

However, the main difference lies in the production method.

The soul tool that Han Yu made was something he had never even heard of.

What is the purpose of those coiled metal wires? And what is the purpose of those individual clips?

Why does that small metal sphere have three holes, evenly spaced? What's the purpose of all that? It's not part of the core magic array!

Doubts kept arising in Gao Lou's mind, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

To him, the young man in front of him was an enigma. He was now quite curious about what kind of soul tool Han Yu had created.

Han Yu finished making it in one and three-quarters of an hour.

When the final assembly was completed, what appeared before him was a soul-guided cannon, approximately one foot and five inches long and with a caliber of about ten centimeters. (End of Chapter)
