Chapter 141 Test Area

“Well, it will probably take a long time. After all, you know my situation well, Luo Ge. Even if I break through level 20, it won’t be easy to absorb the second spirit ring. Spiritual spirit beasts are too difficult to find…”

Faced with Luo Chen’s words, Huo Yuhao was stunned at first, and then responded with helplessness, but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

“Haha, that’s right. It’s really troublesome for your Spirit Eye Martial Soul to absorb spirit rings. Not to mention whether it’s easy to find a spirit beast with spiritual attributes. Even if you find one, I’m afraid it will be difficult to find one that suits you in terms of cultivation…”

“But it’s nothing. When you break through the second ring, if you need me for anything, just ask. I will never refuse. With my current strength, it shouldn’t be difficult to help you hunt for spirit rings.”

Although Huo Yuhao answered this way, Luo Chen knew why he was reluctant to break through. Wasn’t it because of his second martial soul?

However, since Huo Yuhao didn’t say anything, Luo Chen could only pretend not to know. He just didn’t know when Huo Yuhao, who was now stuck at level 20, would set out to obtain the “second soul ring”.

You must know that if a soul master’s cultivation has reached a bottleneck, his soul power will still increase even without absorbing soul rings.

This is also the reason why Huo Yuhao is not in a hurry to absorb the soul ring, because even if he does not absorb the soul ring, it will not affect his own soul power cultivation. During this period of time, his soul power cultivation will continue to increase until the second soul ring is absorbed, and then it will completely explode!
By that time, Luo Chen estimated that Huo Yuhao’s own soul power cultivation would most likely surpass that of a second-ring great soul master and break through to the realm of a 30th-level soul master!
With Huo Yuhao’s current speed of increasing soul power, this was not impossible. Several Xuanshui Pills had already completely made up for Huo Yuhao’s innate deficiencies, coupled with the blood-boosting pills Luo Chen had given him.

Compared to the past, the current Huo Yuhao has undergone a transformation!
Speaking of talent alone, except for the fact that his current soul power level is a little low, almost any attribute of Huo Yuhao has reached the threshold of “genius”, especially in terms of mental power, he can definitely be called a monster!
If compared with what he was like a few months ago, Huo Yuhao is now many levels ahead of his previous level. First, his physical fitness has greatly improved, and he has also made several breakthroughs in the field of mental strength.

If Luo Chen himself was not even more monstrous and could already challenge a seven-ring Soul Saint, he would inevitably feel a little pressured when he felt Huo Yuhao’s current strength.

If Luo Chen did not estimate wrongly, with Huo Yuhao’s current control over his mental power, which was close to the Soul King level, if he released the soul shock with all his strength, even the current Luo Chen would be slightly affected!

Of course, the prerequisite is that Huo Yuhao can break the many passive abilities given to him by Luo Chen’s Death Scythe Martial Soul, one of which is the ability to be immune to a mental attack to a certain extent.

If Huo Yuhao really used mental shock on Luo Chen, let’s not talk about whether it could have any effect on Luo Chen. Just the backlash of mental power that would be caused to Huo Yuhao after the mental shock acted on Luo Chen would be enough to make Huo Yuhao very upset.

Perhaps a few months ago, Luo Chen still had to worry about the so-called mental attack. After all, he had no means to resist this mental attack. But now, Luo Chen can be regarded as a hexagonal warrior, and the value of each attribute is ridiculously high, and there is no so-called shortcoming anymore!
It is for this reason that Luo Chen said this. With his current rate of strength growth, his strength will undergo a transformation almost every time he advances to a higher realm.

Luo Chen still has full confidence that Huo Yuhao, the son of the plane of Douluo Continent, can catch up with himself in cultivation and strength, or even surpass himself.

Even if you opened it, so what? I can open it more fiercely than you, right?
Although Luo Chen knew that Huo Yuhao could not catch up with him, he did not mind leaving the other party a little hope. After all, he could not suppress the other party too hard so that he did not even have the motivation to catch up with him. That would be too bullying.

Besides, he will need the help of Huo Yuhao in the future, and this is a candidate he has high hopes for.

“Well, when I break through level 20 and want to absorb the second spirit ring, I will definitely ask you to help me, Luo Ge. I just hope that you won’t be too surprised by then.”

Hearing Luo Chen’s straightforward words, Huo Yuhao couldn’t help but smile and nodded, agreeing very straightforwardly.

Huo Yuhao was well aware of Luo Chen’s strength. If he could have such a monster-level existence to help him obtain the second soul ring, then it would definitely be several times easier for him to obtain the second soul ring!
What’s more, he knew that to Luo Chen, almost all of his secrets had already been seen through, and they could no longer be called secrets. Even Alex had been known to the other party. Therefore, Huo Yuhao had no intention of hiding this from Luo Chen.

While Luo Chen and Huo Yuhao were talking, Fan Yu in front of them also smiled and echoed:
“It seems that the relationship between you two is much better than I thought. But this is also good. After all, you will study under me in the future. It is always good to be able to help each other.”

As he spoke, Fan Yu led Luo Chen and Huo Yuhao to a corridor that was almost entirely made of metal. He stopped in front of a large metal door and said to Luo Chen behind him:

“We are here. This is where you will learn soul guides. Whether it is making soul guides or testing soul guides, it will all be done here…”

Following the sign that Fan Yu pointed to, I saw the words “Test Area No. 12” clearly written on the sign in front of the door. Obviously, this was the soul guide device testing area that Fan Yu was specifically responsible for.

The reason why Fan Yu explained to Luo Chen instead of Huo Yuhao was probably because he saw that Luo Chen had just arrived and didn’t know anything about the Soul Guidance System, so he explained it to him specifically.

As for Huo Yuhao beside him, he had already been a disciple taught by Fan Yu. He must be very familiar with this so-called soul guide device testing area.

However, just by standing in front of this metal door, Luo Chen could feel the low roars coming from inside. Obviously, someone was testing a soul guide in this test area No. 12.

Moreover, the soul guide device being tested is probably a powerful artillery-type soul guide device. After all, only artillery-type soul guide devices can produce such a coherent and rhythmic strong sensation…

“Wow, I thought we had arrived early enough, but I didn’t expect that Brother He arrived earlier than us. He came so early to test the power of the soul guide cannon. It seems that Brother He cares a lot about the soul guide device that was just made yesterday. Look, he came to test the power of the soul guide device just after dawn…”

Obviously, Huo Yuhao also felt the vibrations coming from the door, and he couldn’t help showing a look of realization, and said to Fan Yu in front of him with a smile. Fan Yu just smiled lightly and didn’t say anything. After all, he knew the personalities of his two disciples, and each one was more diligent than the other.

Without saying much, the storage bracelet on Fan Yu’s wrist suddenly flashed a blue light, and then a hexagonal metal token appeared in his palm.

Judging from the shape of this token, it can just overlap with the hole on the gate of the experimental area in front of us.

Under Luo Chen’s gaze, Fan Yu gently “buckled” the token on the metal gate of the experimental area, and then the huge metal gate in front of him quietly “cracked” open.

As the crack in the metal door gradually became larger, the door slowly opened, and a strong shock wave came from the experimental area in front of him and hit Luo Chen directly in the face. Fortunately, Luo Chen’s own cultivation was not weak.

Faced with this extremely scorching heat wave, Luo Chen simply released his soul power and easily blocked the heat wave outside his body.

Although this heat wave would not have any effect on him if it directly hit him, for the sake of his hairstyle, Luo Chen still blocked the heat wave and did not take it head-on.

When the folding fan metal door in front of him was completely opened, Luo Chen could see clearly the situation inside the soul guide test area. He saw that inside this metal door was a vast space that was not much smaller than a playground!

The decorations and structures inside are all replaced by metal. You can see that the most basic soul guide facilities such as soul guide forging tables and soul guide metal targets are almost all available in this test area!
It can be seen from here alone that Shrek Academy has definitely put a lot of effort into the research of soul guides. The funds needed to build and manufacture these facilities and this huge space alone are an astronomical figure!

“Hey, how about it, Brother Luo? Our Soul Guidance Department didn’t disappoint you, did it? The teacher said that just this experimental area cost the academy millions of gold soul coins!”

As if he had noticed Luo Chen’s thoughts, Huo Yuhao, who was not surprised by this, began to explain to Luo Chen.

The importance that Shrek Academy attaches to soul guides is no less than that of the martial soul department. After all, everyone can basically understand the importance of soul guides. In order to develop these high-level soul guides and train more high-level soul trainers, Shrek Academy has put a lot of effort into this.

Hearing Huo Yuhao’s answer at this moment, Luo Chen couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

It seems that he still underestimated the cost that Shrek Academy had invested in soul guide research. Just this soul guide test area cost the academy millions of gold soul coins. How exaggerated would the funds invested in the entire soul guide system be?

Although Luo Chen knew that it would be extremely difficult for Shrek Academy, which had only focused on the study of the Martial Soul Department, to also take into account the research and development of the Soul Guidance Department. The human, material and financial resources required would be enormous.

But he had never imagined that the money spent on studying and developing soul guides would be so huge!

Nowadays, the amount of money spent by the Soul Guidance Department alone on researching soul guide devices every year is probably no less than tens of millions, right?

You should know that the price of an ordinary soul bone at an auction is only tens of thousands of gold soul coins. As for a rare soul bone of ten thousand year level, its price is only a million gold soul coins.

However, the amount of money that Shrek Academy spent on the Soul Guidance Department in just one year was as high as 10 million gold soul coins. If converted in this way, wouldn’t that be 10 rare soul bones? !

Even Luo Chen, who was used to big scenes and held a 50,000-year-old spiritual gem soul bone in his hand, could not help but remain silent after thinking of this.

Should we say that Shrek Academy is worthy of its name? It is truly wealthy and has a profound foundation. With such huge expenses, if it were any other academy, it would have probably gone bankrupt long ago. How could it have the foundation to research, develop, and produce soul guides?

At this moment, Luo Chen realized how wrong his previous thoughts were. The Sun-Moon Empire was able to develop soul guides so quickly because it had gathered the strength of a country, or even an entire continent, to advance the technology of soul guides so quickly.

Only with the financial and human support of an empire could the research and development of soul guides make continuous progress. But Shrek Academy is just an academy after all. Even if there is a city like Shrek City, how can its power be compared with that of an empire?

Shrek Academy’s research and development in the field of soul guides lags far behind that of the Sun-Moon Empire. It is more accurate to say that it is quite remarkable that Shrek Academy has achieved such progress in the field of soul guides with the strength of an academy alone!
After all, apart from Shrek Academy, other forces are also researching and producing soul guides, but their progress is definitely not as good as Shrek Academy.

The Sun-Moon Empire has now developed its soul guides to the eighth or even ninth level, which means they can play a huge role in battles between eight-ring Soul Douluo or even nine-ring Titled Douluo level warriors.

However, Shrek Academy has spent unimaginable amounts of money and manpower in the field of soul guides. During these hundreds of years, the highest level of soul guides it has developed is only of the fifth level standard!

Not to mention high-level soul guides, even low-level soul guides like level 2 and 3 cannot be mass-produced by Shrek Academy. After all, it is not easy to train a soul guide…
