Chapter 144: Engraving the Soul Guidance Core Array
Luo Chen looked at the giant soul guide cannon in front of him and couldn’t help but express his thoughts. In his opinion, the soul guide cannon that Fan Yu was researching was definitely of great value.

After all, being able to launch a soul guide shell with power comparable to that of a fourth-level soul guide by an ordinary three-ring soul master is already a qualitative change in the soul guide field!
Moreover, in terms of soul guides, a lot of practice and experiments are still needed. If the soul guide made by Fan Yu can be optimized and improved, it will definitely be a very practical soul guide.

After all, among the many soul guides that Luo Chen knows, only the special soul guide cannon in front of him can exert such power. Ordinary soul guides cannot do this.

However, Luo Chen could also see the drawbacks of this soul guide. All the technological points were put into its power and lethality, which meant that it could not achieve fast movement like other medium and small soul guides.

If this giant soul guide cannon were placed on the battlefield, it would definitely be a powerful weapon for killing the enemy, but with its weight and conspicuous size, it would definitely become the enemy’s target in the first place!
Therefore, Luo Chen’s evaluation of this soul guide can only be “above average”. It is a soul guide that can exert extraordinary power and its usage conditions remain unchanged. This is why Luo Chen gave it a top-notch rating. However, its own weight and volume “make up” for this point.

Taking all factors into consideration, the giant soul guide cannon in front of us can only be used for “setting up a position”, that is, as a preventive measure. It is not suitable for use on the battlefield or in soul master battles. After all, such a giant soul guide cannon is too ostentatious.

Luo Chen also thought of some ways to improve and modify it at the first time. Even though he has not yet systematically studied the knowledge about soul guides, Luo Chen still has an idea of ​​how to improve this soul guide in general.

After Luo Chen finished speaking, He Cai Tou and Huo Yuhao were all stunned for a moment, and then silently thought about the possibility of implementing the method Luo Chen mentioned.

After all, as soul engineers, the first thing they need to consider is the feasibility of the plan. If they cannot set up such a plan in theory, then it goes without saying how troublesome it will be in practice.

After silently deducing in their minds, He Caitou and Huo Yuhao both opened their eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, and they exclaimed:
“It’s a very interesting idea. If your idea can be implemented, it can indeed greatly improve the mobility of this giant soul guide cannon, but…”

“Just what?”

“However, when we in the Soul Guidance Department are researching and manufacturing soul guides, we not only have to consider the power and performance of the soul guides, but more importantly, the cost of the soul guides.”

“On the market, the selling price of an ordinary third-level soul guide cannon is only 200,000 gold soul coins, but the giant soul guide cannon specially made by Teacher Fan Yu costs as much as 500,000 gold soul coins. Both the materials used and the core are much more expensive!”

“If you follow your idea just now, Junior Brother Luo, and want to improve this soul guide cannon, then the materials used in its manufacture must be upgraded to a higher level, and some special light alloy materials will be needed to fully realize the mobility of this soul guide cannon.”

“But if we do this, the cost will be even higher. The original price of 500,000 will probably be multiplied several times. In this way, even if this soul guide can achieve the performance of a fourth-level soul guide cannon in all aspects, the basic cost will be several times higher!”

“This is just the cost. If we really mass-produce this kind of soul guide, I guess not many people would buy it…”

As he spoke, He Caitou also reached out his hand and patted Luo Chen on the shoulder, then smiled and encouraged:
“Although this idea is a little unrealistic, I still admire your idea, Junior Brother Luo. If our soul guides want to continuously improve their soul guides, they must continue to make bold assumptions!”

“If we don’t even dare to make assumptions, how can our Soul Guidance Department develop?”

“What my elder brother said is right. For now, Luo Ge, you should first learn all the basic knowledge that Teacher Fan Yu taught you. After you have a solid foundation, you can then study and make soul guides.”

After talking to Cai Tou, Huo Yuhao on the side also spoke to Luo Chen.

Obviously, in his opinion, Luo Chen now only lacks basic knowledge and does not have a deep understanding of soul guides, which is why he has such strange ideas. After completing systematic learning, some of the ideas he proposed will surely be more feasible.

Luo Chen himself was naturally aware of this, but his goal was not just to research and manufacture soul guides.

The giant soul guide device currently made by Fan Yu has already given him an idea of ​​conceiving a new type of soul guide device. Using the smallest soul power to exert the greatest power is a very meaningful idea.

If this idea can be implemented, then the soul guide system will definitely be able to achieve a transformation. After all, in future battlefields, if even an ordinary soldier can use a third-level or even fourth-level soul guide device, then this will definitely be an absolute improvement in hard power!

“Well, I understand. But as Teacher Fan Yu said, learning soul guides cannot be done hastily. It requires steady progress. Then I will start with the most basic engraving of soul guide arrays…”

After hearing what Huo Yuhao said, Luo Chen nodded, and then he had a plan in mind, how to learn the basic knowledge of soul guides more efficiently and get started…

However, his words made Huo Yuhao and He Caitou dumbfounded. What does it mean to start from engraving the soul guide core array? The soul guide core array is the real core of the soul guide. It can be said that in the learning of the basic knowledge of the soul guide, engraving the soul guide core array is always the last task to be completed!
After all, for a novice soul guide apprentice, the initial task is basically to learn the production of soul guides and some theoretical knowledge. Only when these basics are mastered can they proceed to engrave the soul guide core array!
This has always been the process for training soul guides in the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy. But now Luo Chen is planning to directly start with the production and engraving of soul guide core arrays to learn soul guide devices?
This is simply rebellion against Tiangang!

“Brother Luo, it is quite difficult for you to engrave the soul guide core array. This not only requires your own understanding of the soul guide, but also requires you to record the flow path of the soul power after injecting it into the soul guide. Only in this way can you engrave the soul power flow pattern on the soul guide core array.”

“It can be said that after truly engraving the soul guide core array, one is equivalent to a true second-level soul guide. After all, when making a soul guide, the so-called outer shell and inner shell are the simplest. Only the soul guide core array is somewhat difficult…”

As Huo Yuhao spoke, the corners of his mouth twitched. It seemed that what he had just said was in vain. The thinking of a genius was indeed not something that a “mortal” like him could understand. Who would start with the most difficult part right from the start?
Shouldn’t normal people proceed step by step, starting with the simplest knowledge, and then learning and accumulating step by step, and then understanding more profound knowledge…

But Luo Chen wanted to “reach heaven in one step.” In other words, he hadn’t even learned to walk, but he wanted to fly. How could he not be surprised?
But it was obvious that Luo Chen was not joking, he was serious!
For a moment, Huo Yuhao was a little overwhelmed by Luo Chen’s idea. He was not sure whether he should stop Luo Chen from doing this. After all, this seemed to him to be an impossible thing.

Even though he had a natural talent for learning soul guidance, when he first entered the field of soul guidance, it took him quite a long time to consolidate the basic knowledge, and then he successfully engraved the soul guidance core array…

For him, whose theoretical knowledge and practical operations have already reached the level of a third-level soul engineer, he can increasingly appreciate the difficulty of researching and manufacturing soul guides. Otherwise, with his soul king-level mental cultivation, it would not have taken him two months to become a second-level soul engineer.

It is extremely difficult to get into the Soul Guidance Department. This is why many students in the Soul Guidance Department have to study in the outer courtyard for several years before they can barely reach the standard of a second-level Soul Guidance teacher. It is extremely rare to reach the third-level Soul Guidance teacher before graduation!

“Don’t worry, Yuhao, I know my limits. I’m just going to try to make and engrave this soul guide core array. If it doesn’t work, I’ll honestly start from the beginning and polish it bit by bit.”

“You don’t have to look at me like I’m crazy. I just don’t like to stick to the rules, but that doesn’t mean I’m a fool. I think I know how to adapt…”

Looking at Huo Yuhao’s strange expression at this moment, Luo Chen couldn’t help but speak.

Of course he knew the difficulty of engraving the soul guide core array, but if he didn’t try it, how would he know how difficult it was? All things are difficult at the beginning, but success comes naturally if you put your mind to it. Even for the few unique skills that Moon taught him, didn’t Luo Chen have any idea at the beginning?
This can only be learned through little by little attempts and explorations. If you don’t even try, and just practice according to the “template”, then how can you truly experience the mystery of it? The most you can do is just copying!

In Luo Chen’s opinion, there is not much difference between learning soul guides and learning those unique skills. The predecessors have already paved the way and left behind a lot of valuable experience and accumulation. All he needs to do is to understand these accumulations and transform them into his own.

Only in this way can Luo Chen quickly learn the basic knowledge, not waste time and energy on unnecessary things, and learn and understand soul guides in an efficient manner, thus getting started with soul guides.

But generally speaking, it is the soul masters with low realms and not very high talents who come to the soul guidance department to learn soul guidance equipment. But for a soul master like Luo Chen, whose total soul power and mental power cultivation are comparable to those of a seven-ring soul saint, to transfer to the soul guidance department to study is a very rare thing.

The reason why ordinary soul masters cannot quickly learn the knowledge about soul guides and become soul engineers is precisely because their own talents are not very high. In addition to learning soul guides, they also have to find time to improve their own soul power.

In such a situation, it is natural that an ordinary soul master cannot quickly become a soul instructor. Even if they are led by a professional soul instructor, it will be of no avail, because their own talents are there. Even if they are taught hand-in-hand, they still need the other party to understand.

A talented student like Huo Yuhao naturally does not need to spend too much time. His powerful mental cultivation can allow him to avoid many unnecessary steps, quickly bypassing these twists and turns and heading straight for the final goal.

This is why Huo Yuhao was able to achieve a goal that would take ordinary people several years to complete in just a few months. After all, he possessed a spiritual eye martial soul that was good at eyesight and mental power, and his talent in making soul guides was simply too explosive.

If ordinary people want to complete the introduction to the soul guidance system and become a second-level soul guide, they not only need a lot of theoretical knowledge as support, but also need to rely on their own memory to record the feelings after each practice.

However, for a spirit-eye martial soul master whose memory and concentration have always been far superior to those of soul masters at the same level, it is definitely a very simple thing to get started with soul guides and learn these basic knowledge.

It can be said that a person’s concentration and ability to control soul power and mental power basically represent his or her learning talent in the field of soul guidance.

In just a few months, he became a soul engineer on par with the third level. Even in the Sun Moon Empire, this is extremely rare. Although Luo Chen is not sure how long Huo Yuhao spent to reach his current level.

But it certainly wouldn’t be too difficult. After all, his mental strength is there, and with several Tang Sect secret skills at hand, how could he not be fast in learning soul guides?
However, compared to Huo Yuhao, Luo Chen’s own talent in soul guides is excellent. Even if he does not rely on those special abilities, just relying on the Purple Demon Eye of the Mustard Seed Realm is enough to make him a powerful soul guide!
