Chapter 146 completed, Level Soul Instructor!

“As long as you have hands.”

These four simple words actually silenced Huo Yuhao and third-level soul masters like He Cai Tou.

If someone else said such words, they would just think that the other person was crazy or had mental problems. You know, among all the students studying in the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy, almost no one thinks that the knowledge of the Soul Guidance Department can be described as “simple”.

Even soul guides as talented as Huo Yuhao and Cai Tou had to pay extra attention when learning soul guide knowledge, otherwise they would accidentally overlook some details.

Compared to the martial soul system, the soul guidance system is obviously more difficult to learn. First, the knowledge points that need to be learned in the soul guidance system are far more than those in the martial soul system. It not only includes the production of soul guides, but also includes the use and development of soul guides…

The second reason is that the Soul Guidance Department is different from the Martial Soul Department. Students of the Martial Soul Department usually have many paths to choose from, which is to conduct specialized and systematic learning according to the classification of their own awakened martial souls.

For example, a soul master of the strong attack system will learn the knowledge of the strong attack system, and a soul master of the auxiliary system will learn the knowledge of the auxiliary system. There is no need to master all types of knowledge points, which means that limited energy can be used in the right place.

You can’t chew too much at once. This is why the Wuhun Department arranges its students to study in this way. After all, no soul master can be “all-powerful”. If they can’t even control the single direction they are good at and can’t master it well, how can they study other departments?
The Soul Guidance Department’s requirements for students are not only to learn the production and use of soul guides, but also to cultivate their own soul power, combining several standards into one.

This is why the number of soul guides studying in the Soul Guide Department is so small today, because ordinary students are unable to complete the goals set by the Soul Guide Department.

The soul power cultivation alone is enough to screen out a group of people, not to mention that on this basis, one also needs to ensure one’s own research and production of soul guides.

If learning in the Soul Guidance Department was so simple, there wouldn’t be only Huo Yuhao and Cai Tou and a few other students in the department now.

Even students like Huo Yuhao and He Caitou, who have stronger talents than ordinary people in the Soul Guidance Department, will encounter very difficult problems when learning about soul guides.

The soul guide core array at this moment is one of them. As the most important step in making a soul guide device, at least several practical simulations are required before engraving the soul guide core array. This can ensure the success rate of the soul guide when using the soul guide engraving knife to engrave the soul guide core array.

These methods were summarized by a group of soul guides in the Soul Guide Department of Shrek Academy through various methods. Without any study and training, it is almost impossible for anyone to understand how to make the soul guide core array.

After all, engraving the soul guide core array requires a lot of soul guide device knowledge as a foundation, and combined with the type of soul guide device that needs to be made, the soul guide core array can be engraved without deviation.

Now, just after Huo Yuhao demonstrated it once, Luo Chen was already confident about it. How could this not surprise Huo Yuhao and He Caitou?

However, no matter how surprised he was, it was still an unknown whether Luo Chen could successfully engrave the core soul guide formation.

After all, this was Luo Chen’s first time to study in the Soul Guidance Department. Before this, he had no knowledge of soul guides. Without knowing anything, it was really unrealistic for him to engrave the soul guide core array through “imitation”.

This was exactly what He Caitou was thinking at the moment. He did not doubt the other party’s talent in martial spirit. After all, the other party’s spirit power cultivation had already explained everything. How could a normal spirit master possess such terrifying spirit power at this age?
However, even if one’s talent in martial soul is beyond imagination, it does not mean that the other party is talented in soul guidance. Even some of the most powerful top masters in the academy will be confused when they first come into contact with soul guides, because this is completely different from the knowledge learned in the martial soul department!

Seeing that He Caitou and Huo Yuhao had both fallen silent, Luo Chen did not say much. He lightly hooked his finger, and a fist-sized piece of light blue metal and a soul guide carving knife that looked quite sharp on the metal workbench next to him “flew” directly into his hands.

The moment the metal material for engraving the soul guide core fell into his hands, Luo Chen released his own mental power and “attached” it to the light blue metal in his hand. Before engraving, he needed to thoroughly understand the structure of this soul guide metal.

However, after Luo Chen checked it with his mental power, he still couldn’t find any difference between this soul guide metal and ordinary metal. Before the soul power was actually injected into it, just looking at its internal structure, he could not tell any difference from ordinary metal.

However, Luo Chen could clearly feel that the weight of the soul guide metal in his hand was much heavier than ordinary metal. Even if he just held it like this, Luo Chen could feel its amazing thickness.

“Sure enough, it’s not the metal I’m familiar with. It looks like this is a special alloy. Although the internal structure is not much different from ordinary metals, its hardness and density are several times that of ordinary metals. No wonder it can withstand the impact of soul power…”

In just a moment, Luo Chen discovered the most essential difference between the light blue metal in his hand and ordinary metal.

For Luo Chen, this was the first time he had seen this special alloy. Ordinary metals, let alone carrying soul power, would undergo obvious changes in shape even when pulled by soul power.

However, the piece of light blue metal in his hand would not change its shape so easily. Its hardness was completely comparable to the outer shells of some defensive soul beasts. Luo Chen even suspected that the raw material of this special alloy came from a certain kind of crustacean soul beast.

However, Luo Chen did not care too much about this. The reason why he wanted to understand the structure and hardness of this soul guide metal was just to ensure how much force he needed to use when engraving the soul guide core array, and how to engrave it.

“Yuhao, help me keep time.”

Seeing that He Caitou and Huo Yuhao were looking at him with nervous expressions, Luo Chen couldn’t help but speak to break the weird atmosphere.

“Ah… OK, OK!”

After hearing Luo Chen’s words, Huo Yuhao came back to his senses. After making preparations, he said, “Ready, start!”

“Ding!”

As Huo Yuhao started the timer in his hand, Luo Chen, who had already made preparations, also truly began to engrave the soul guide core formation.

Although this was his first time to engrave a soul guide core array, and also his first time to hold a strangely shaped “carving knife” and engrave on an incredibly hard soul guide metal, but when the blade of the carving knife in Luo Chen’s hand actually touched the soul guide core array, Luo Chen’s feel was exceptionally good.

The feeling of “strangeness” and “uncomfortable” that Luo Chen had imagined did not come, but instead he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if Luo Chen himself had repeated this action countless times before!
“this!”

Huo Yuhao and He Caitou, who were watching Luo Chen engrave the soul guide core formation at this moment, also discovered that something was wrong.

When Luo Chen carved the first line, they could still see the unfamiliarity of Luo Chen in carving the soul guide core array, but as he carved more and more times, his movements became more and more smooth.

Not only did the action of engraving the patterns become smoother, but even the speed of engraving the core soul guide array became faster and faster. Even with the eyesight of real soul masters like He Caitou and Huo Yuhao, they could not keep up with the speed of Luo Chen engraving the core soul guide array.

Every cut that fell on the soul guide core seemed to be in accordance with his own wishes. The originally ordinary carving knife now became like a paintbrush, “painting” beautiful patterns on the soul guide core with Luo Chen’s light movements.

The point where the knife would fall, which originally required extremely careful observation to determine, now in Luo Chen’s hands, there was no need to check or confirm it, and he could naturally detect the point where the knife would fall.

At this moment, Luo Chen was like an extremely sophisticated machine. Using his unimaginable performance, he accurately and quickly engraved one precise pattern after another that was imperceptible to the naked eye on the light blue soul guide core.

“Ding!”

Following a crisp sound, after Luo Chen put away the carving knife in his hand, Huo Yuhao and He Caitou, who had been watching in fascination, finally came back to their senses from their trance-like state.

“Is this… done?”

Seeing Luo Chen put away the soul guide carving knife in his hand and He Caitou still asking to himself, Huo Yuhao on the side hurriedly pressed the timer in his hand, and then looked at the time displayed on the timer, and couldn’t help but exclaimed:
“A quarter of an hour?!”

I saw that the time displayed on the timer at this moment was exactly a quarter of an hour. No, it wasn’t even a quarter of an hour yet!
This time it was Huo Yuhao’s turn to be dumbfounded. Although he knew that Luo Chen, with his enchanting talent, might really be able to complete the engraving of the soul guide core array, he could never have imagined that Luo Chen not only completed the engraving of the soul guide core array, but even completed it faster than him!
You should know that he has engraved the soul guide core array no less than ten times and successfully produced several finished second-level soul guides. This is why he can complete the engraving of the soul guide core array so quickly and skillfully. This is based on his usual accumulation.

But now Luo Chen completed the task even faster than him. How did he do it?

“A quarter of an hour? It’s faster than I thought. I originally thought it would take at least half an hour. However, engraving the soul guide core array is indeed a bit difficult. I almost lost control of my strength several times.”

Looking at the time displayed on the timer in Huo Yuhao’s hand, Luo Chen smiled calmly. Although he was a little surprised by the result, he was not that surprised, because in this engraving of the soul guide core array, he felt that some of his potential had been stimulated.

Originally, he was thinking of imitating Huo Yuhao and engraving the soul guide core array using the method he used to engrave the soul guide core array. However, he never expected that his hands would move on their own before he could even think of anything…

Being able to engrave the soul guide core array so quickly, even faster than Huo Yuhao who had studied in the soul guide department for several months, was really beyond Luo Chen’s expectations.

“Brother Luo, hurry up, let me see the soul guide core you engraved!”

At this moment, He Caitou finally recovered from his surprise, and then hurriedly spoke to Luo Chen, his face extremely excited, and even his own breath was a little unstable.

“Ah.”

Seeing He Caitou’s excited expression, Luo Chen hurriedly handed over the soul guide core array in his hand. To be honest, he was also looking forward to seeing whether the soul guide core array he had engraved had reached the “completion” standard.

After all, he engraved it exactly according to the route that Huo Yuhao had taken when he engraved the soul guide core formation, so it was difficult for him to judge whether this soul guide core formation could be used.

Although he felt that this soul guide core array was basically completed, it was only his first time to engrave a soul guide core array. How could he tell whether it was a perfect engraving?
However, the expression on He Caitou’s face and his slightly trembling body explained everything. He Caitou first glanced at Huo Yuhao, and after getting the other party’s affirmation, he took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then said to Luo Chen in front of him:

“Congratulations, Junior Brother Luo. Although this is your first time engraving a soul guide core array, I have to say that this soul guide core array is really too good. Even compared with the one made by the teacher, it is almost the same!”

“Even if you haven’t conducted systematic learning yet, just relying on this soul guide core you have engraved, you can become a true second-level soul guide!”

As he spoke, He Caitou injected his own soul power into the soul guide core formation in his hand. The next moment, a light blue soul power beam burst out as expected!
