Chapter 40 Contact with Soul Guidance Devices
"That person, whose code name in the Empire is Spirit Fox, has been infiltrating the Sun Moon Empire for ten years."
Huo Yuhao followed behind Jin Peng, listening quietly as he recounted the situation of the spy.
"He is a level six Soul Master, serving as a basic instructor there, and also a junior researcher at Mingde Hall."
"His strength may not be the greatest, but his basic knowledge is absolutely solid. Having him teach you is far more suitable than having any of the Soul Guidance Department staff at Di'ao Academy."
Huo Yuhao nodded repeatedly.
Mingde Hall is the core research base for soul guide devices of the Sun Moon Empire.
For the Sun and Moon Empire, its status is far more transcendent than that of the Body Sect to the Heavenly Soul, making it the undisputed core of the empire.
This fox spirit is no ordinary creature; it was able to remain hidden there for ten years without being discovered.
The main hall of the Body Sect is located halfway up the mountain.
When Huo Yuhao entered the main hall, he saw a middle-aged man with a stubble beard.
He had a square face and thick eyebrows, but his eyes were very bright, like two pearls beneath a calm sea.
"This is Mr. Spirit Fox," Jin Peng introduced.
Jin Peng held great respect for those who risked their lives for the empire, even if they were of low strength.
The same applies to Huo Yuhao and Gu Tong.
They stepped forward and respectfully said, "Huo Yuhao greets Mr. Spirit Fox."
The fox spirit dared not put on airs.
He quickly returned the greeting, saying, "Young masters, you are too kind. I have only done my humble best and do not deserve to be called 'sir'."
"Mr. Spirit Fox, there's no need for you to be so modest," Jin Peng said. "The Body Sect is completely ignorant about soul tools, so we'll have to trouble you to help us a lot in the future. I believe that with your guidance as a researcher from Mingde Hall, they will definitely learn much more efficiently."
"As for Lang Ya, he's out on some business right now, and we'll have to trouble you to give him extra lessons when he gets back."
The fox spirit was flattered and bowed to the golden roc, saying, "Your Majesty is too kind."
Then, the spirit fox introduced the soul tool to Huo Yuhao, Jin Peng, and Gu Tong.
Even though he disliked soul tools from the bottom of his heart, Jin Peng listened attentively.
Because the spirit fox is explaining the soul guide from the perspective of Mingde Hall.
This has extremely important reference value for the Heavenly Soul's future defense and even counterattack against the Sun and Moon.
"The two young masters' martial souls are spiritual eyes, which is what the Sun Moon Empire has been pursuing."
The spirit fox said, "For a Soul Master, the most important thing is spiritual power. Therefore, the starting point for the two young masters is a dream that others can hardly reach."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's heart stirred slightly.
"Mr. Spirit Fox," he said, "the first soul skill of the Spirit Eye Martial Soul is called Spiritual Detection Sharing. Based on what you just said, I think this soul skill will play an extremely important role in the field of soul tools."
After saying that, he applied the mental detection sharing to the spirit fox.
The fox's eyes widened instantly.
"This...this..."
He was incredulous, even his speech became somewhat stammering: "This is simply a soul skill created for soul tools!"
"Young Master, do you know what this soul skill means?"
Huo Yuhao said thoughtfully, "What I just heard Mr. Linghu say is that the most important and difficult part of making a soul tool is the precise carving of the core magic array."
"Mental detection allows me to clearly perceive every subtle change in the patterns of the core magic array, avoiding errors."
"good!"
The fox spirit's voice trembled with excitement.
Although he was a spy planted by the Heavenly Soul in the Sun and Moon, he genuinely loved soul tools; otherwise, he wouldn't have joined the Mingde Hall.
"Furthermore, your shared mental detection capabilities allow a team of Soul Masters to achieve perfect teamwork, truly realizing the command effect of a single brain!"
The spirit fox unconsciously gestured with both hands, explaining to Huo Yuhao, Jin Peng, and Gu Tong how significant the role of the Spirit Detection Sharing Soul Skill would be in the combat of a Soul Master.
"Heaven blesses the soul, truly Heaven blesses the soul."
He forcefully wiped away the tears of excitement from the corners of his eyes: "Young Master, rest assured, Spirit Fox will do everything in her power to lay a solid foundation for your soul guidance system!"
Seeing this, Jin Peng nodded in satisfaction and said, "In that case, I won't bother you any longer."
"The Soul Guidance Laboratory of the Body Sect is not yet completed, so you will study in the Martial Arts Hall today. I will tell those brats not to disturb you."
After Jinpeng left, Linghu took out a lamp from her own storage soul tool.
"Young masters, please take a look," he said, disassembling the lamp. "This is the simplest lighting soul tool."
"Its core array has only three soul power loops, yet it contains the most basic principles of soul power guidance, conversion, and release for soul tools. It's perfect for explaining the principles of soul tools to the two young masters."
Huo Yuhao and Gu Tong immediately leaned forward curiously to examine the pile of soul tool parts.
The spirit fox picked up a metal plate engraved with a magic array: "This is the soul guide core used to carry the core magic array. Its principle is to allow soul power to resonate with the metal through the core magic array, ultimately transforming it into energy with specific effects."
Huo Yuhao activated the shared mental detection, which would make it easier for him and Gu Tong to understand, and would also help the spirit fox better explain the details of the core magic array.
Instantly, with the aid of mental detection, those subtle patterns appeared clearly in the minds of the three people, like three-dimensional images.
Not only them, but even Electrox in the Sea of Spirit is learning about soul tools through this.
He had a great interest in this magic circle-like thing.
"Indeed," Electrox nodded repeatedly, "This spirit fox has a very solid foundation and is more than capable of teaching you."
"At the same time, I can also participate in your idea of combining talisman master crafting with soul tools, Yuhao. We can achieve a stable trinity of talisman master, soul tool, and magic circle."
With the spirit fox's clear and concise explanation, Huo Yuhao and the others quickly gained a basic understanding of soul tools.
Huo Yuhao and Gu Tong had completely different expressions.
Gu Tong frowned as she listened.
On the one hand, he rejected soul tools, but on the other hand, he was forced to study with Huo Yuhao because of the power of the Poison Undying.
However, after listening to the spirit fox's explanation, he realized the terrifying potential of the soul tool.
Because of her age, Gu Tong's aversion to soul tools stemmed more from the attitude of the upper echelons of the Body Sect towards soul tools.
Hearing Linghu's personal experience, especially after Linghu recounted the history, classification, and application of soul tools in the Sun Moon Empire, Gu Tong felt a sense of urgency and wanted the Body Sect to increase its investment in soul tool research.
Huo Yuhao's eyes shone brightly, as images of talisman crafting and magic arrays flashed through his mind.
He would occasionally ask questions that would amaze even the spirit fox.
"Mr. Spirit Fox".
Huo Yuhao pointed to the core magic array of the illumination soul guide lamp, and then wrote and drew on a piece of white paper next to him.
"If we add a structure like this here, would it improve the efficiency of soul power conversion?"
"At the same time, assuming we change its release circuit here, could we change its output method, turning ordinary lighting into an attack?"
Here, Huo Yuhao proposed this idea by referencing the operating principle of "Exiled Light" in Light Magic.
"Or it could be changed like this."
Huo Yuhao then thought of the "Blinding Flash" magic: "For example, we can make changes here to increase the core magic circle's efficiency in absorbing soul power. At the same time, we can add an additional absorption structure here to incorporate the attribute power of rare metals into the core magic circle as well."
"Then, by increasing the frequency of soul power release, could we achieve the effect of blinding the light?"
"Not only that, we can also do this..."
Linghu and Gu Tong stared blankly at Huo Yuhao, who was constantly writing and drawing.
"Young Master Gu," the spirit fox swallowed hard, "Did Young Master Huo really not touch the soul tool before?"
Gu Tong blinked.
Why is it that even though we both have eye-related martial souls, I feel like an idiot?
He replied, "It's not that there isn't."
"He rode in a soul-guided carriage the day he returned from Shrek Academy."
Soon, the huge experimental table that had been pieced together was piled high with Huo Yuhao's draft drawings.
The fox spirit trembled as it looked at each image.
Some of the contents of these blueprints overlap with the research of the Sun Moon Empire, while others are soul tools that have already been developed.
Some of them are brand new soul tools that even the Sun Moon Empire doesn't have!
The spirit fox took a deep breath: "Young Master Huo, you are truly a born soul master."
"Your talent in guiding souls is even more outstanding than that of Xiao Hongchen, the grandson of Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall."
He pointed to Huo Yuhao's first blueprint and said, "This is the core array principle of the Soul Guidance Laser! It's hard to believe that you've never even touched a Soul Guidance Device before."
"This is a blinding bullet caused by a soul, this is the Wall of Light, this is..."
Finally, clutching several blueprints, the soul was overwhelmed with excitement: "And these are the illusion-type soul tools and healing soul tools that have plagued the Sun Moon Empire!"
"Although what you've provided, Young Master, is merely a framework, it's already enough to overturn the traditional classification system of soul tools!"
Watching Huo Yuhao constantly discussing ideas with the spirit fox, Gu Tong felt that she might really be a fool.
"Didn't I come here to learn with my junior brother?"
Why can't I understand what they're saying?
Even the prince's tutors weren't like me, were they?
Gu Tong shook her head.
He picked up the book "Basic Explanation of Soul Guidance" given to him by the spirit fox and began to devote himself to it.
"Brother Aotian is a monster, and Junior Brother is a ferocious beast. They are both responsible for leading the Body Sect forward triumphantly."
Gu Tong understood in his heart: "But the future of the Body Sect also requires us ordinary disciples to lay a solid foundation step by step."
He took a deep breath and began to study the obscure and difficult principles of soul tools.
"Let's start with the basics, guiding the soul power through the circuits..."
