Chapter 148 Genius? Monster!

“You mean to say that this soul guide core array… was engraved by Luo Chen?”

After listening to He Caitou’s words, Fan Yu first took a deep breath, and then tentatively confirmed with He Caitou and Huo Yuhao in front of him.

He Caitou and Huo Yuhao both nodded with affirmation, confirming what He Caitou said.

“Teacher, when Luo Ge was engraving the soul guide core array, my senior brother and I were all watching from the side. From the moment he picked up the soul guide core array and started engraving it, until the soul guide core array was completed, the entire process was completed by Luo Ge alone…”

As if to make He Caitou’s words more convincing, Huo Yuhao also explained to Fan Yu.

However, Fan Yu did not respond to Huo Yuhao’s words at this moment. Instead, he stood there in a daze, his eyes fixed on the soul guide core in his hand.

After an unknown amount of time, Fan Yu finally recovered from his shock. He turned his gaze to Luo Chen who was standing beside him, and then asked in a deep voice:
“Luo Chen, was this soul guide core really completed by you alone?”

In response, Luo Chen nodded affirmatively and responded:

“Yes, Teacher Fanyu, after Yuhao demonstrated to me the techniques and steps of engraving the soul guide core array just now, I tried it according to this process, which is the soul guide core array you are holding in your hand.”

“If you don’t believe me, I can also engrave another soul guide core. I feel that engraving a soul guide core is still very simple.”

As he spoke, Luo Chen also stretched out his hand and clenched it. Then, his own light red soul power pulled a piece of light blue metal on the metal table beside him, as well as a sharp soul guide carving knife, and flew towards him…

After listening to Luo Chen’s words, Fan Yu was silent again. It’s not that he didn’t believe that Luo Chen could complete the engraving of the soul guide core, but this was really too outrageous. How old was Luo Chen in front of him?

In the past few years as a soul master, how many times have you come into contact with the knowledge of soul guides?
I’m afraid not even once?
But in such a short period of time, he only let Luo Chen learn the basic knowledge about soul guides and let him prepare first, but he never expected that Luo Chen would achieve great success in one step!
In one fell swoop, the most difficult step in making a soul guide has been taken!
It should be noted that even a soul guide genius like Huo Yuhao, who is naturally intelligent, hardworking, and has a spiritual spirit that almost exclusively focuses on soul guides as an aid, still needs at least a month to fully comprehend what is needed to make a soul guide device.

This was only possible under the guidance of his soul engineer, who was close to level six. It would be almost impossible for ordinary people to fully learn the basic knowledge of soul guides and the development of soul guides without several years.

As a disciple of the dean of the Soul Guidance Department and also an important figure in the academy, he knows better than anyone else how difficult it is to complete the engraving of the Soul Guidance Core!

It can be said that as long as this most important step is completed, one can be considered a qualified second-level soul engineer, because when engraving the soul guide core, one is equivalent to understanding the most important core of the soul guide device!

Even in the Sun-Moon Empire, which uses soul guides as its cornerstone and the source of its strength, there are not many people in the entire empire who can do what Yu Hao did, and quickly get started in just a few months to become a genius second-level soul guide!
As for someone like Luo Chen, who had not even finished learning the basic knowledge of soul guides, he “jumped the level” to complete the engraving of the soul guide core array, and he completed the engraving smoothly. This kind of talent has completely broken Fan Yu’s perception of the word “genius”!

If he didn’t know some inside information and was aware that there was an extraordinary relationship between Luo Chen and Shrek Academy, and that it was not as simple as the relationship between the academy and ordinary students, he would have been worried at this moment whether the other party would be forcibly taken away by the Sun Moon Empire!
A genius who could complete the engraving of the soul guide core array in such a short time, this is probably the first time in the history of the entire soul guide department!
At this moment, after listening to Luo Chen’s words, even if Fan Yu was unwilling to believe it in his subconscious, he had to admit that his disciple’s talent might be a little too good…

Seeing that Luo Chen was actually planning to complete the engraving of the soul guide core formation once more, Huo Yuhao and He Cai Tou on the side silently held their breath, fearing that they would affect each other.

Fan Yu also perked up his nerves and nodded slightly at Luo Chen’s tentative gaze. He wanted to see with his own eyes whether this new disciple who had been in the Soul Guidance Department for less than a day had such an incredible talent!
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it. However, Luo Chen, who had come into contact with a soul guide for the first time, was actually able to complete the engraving of the soul guide core. This almost broke history!

However, in the next moment, his eyes widened instantly, and all his soul power could not help but boil up, because Luo Chen in front of him at this moment was actually using a method he had never seen before to engrave the soul guide core in his hand!
Even though he had been working in the soul guidance field for decades, he had never seen anyone in the soul guidance field engrave a soul guidance core in this way, and every stroke was as easy and casual as waving a paintbrush.

Unconsciously, the soul guide core formation in Luo Chen’s hand was almost completed, and looking at its appearance, it was still so smooth and there was no sign of any effort at all.

“Could it be that he has created a method for engraving soul guide cores? After engraving the soul guide core formation once, he has figured out a set of engraving methods that suit him?!”

At this moment, Fan Yu, who was watching Luo Chen engrave the soul guide core formation with his own eyes, couldn’t help but reveal a complicated look in his eyes. He now understood why the two deans wanted to make such a fuss just for such a student.

Obviously, the other party’s talent is high enough to alarm the two deans of the Soul Guidance Department!

Even though Fan Yu had been teaching students and developing soul guides in the Soul Guidance Department for such a long time, he had never seen someone like Luo Chen who broke the common sense of the Soul Guidance Department time and time again.

To describe such a talent as a “genius” would be an insult to him. In Fan Yu’s opinion, no words in the world are enough to describe Luo Chen’s terrifying talent and understanding. If anything, only the word “monster” can match him.

Not only Fan Yu, Huo Yuhao and He Caitou, who had watched Luo Chen engrave the soul core, were also surprised at this moment, and their faces showed the same expression as Fan Yu. In their eyes, Luo Chen was able to reach that level in the first engraving of the soul core array, which was abnormal enough, but they never thought that he was not satisfied with this at all, and became even more abnormal in the original abnormal situation!

With their foundation in soul guides, how could they not see Luo Chen’s calmness and ease as he engraved the soul guide core? If Luo Chen was a little awkward at the beginning when he first engraved the soul guide core, now he can be completely described as “skilled”!
Even more than that!
Normally, when soul engineers are engraving the core array of soul guides, they have to be extremely alert and focused, carefully ensuring that every knife falls on the right place, so as to avoid deviation when engraving the core array of soul guides.

But anyone could see Luo Chen’s state at this moment, how relaxed and calm he was. Even though the soul guide carving knife in Luo Chen’s hand had almost reached an outrageous level, there was no sense of tension on his face, only a calm smile.

He was actually enjoying the feeling of engraving the soul guide core array!
At this moment, Huo Yuhao and He Caitou were all silent. Even though they did not have the knowledge like Fan Yu, they did not notice that there was something wrong with Luo Chen’s method when he was engraving the soul guide core formation.

However, the two could still see clearly the gap between themselves and Luo Chen. When they were engraving the soul guide core array, it was a complete torture, and it was a very painful process!

But what about the other party? He was already enjoying the process of engraving the soul guide core array. However, from this mentality, the two were completely on a different level, not to mention the skills of engraving the soul guide core array.

Not to mention Huo Yuhao and the others, even Zhou Yi, who was not a soul guide, could see how “experienced” Luo Chen was in engraving the soul guide core formation, as if he had repeated this set of movements hundreds or even thousands of times!
It’s not like Zhou Yi has never come into contact with soul guides. Although she is a teacher in the martial soul department, she usually learns about soul guides in her spare time.

But after seeing Luo Chen’s superb skills at this moment, he couldn’t help but feel ripples in his heart.

Because when Luo Chen was engraving the core array of the soul guide, his movements were always precise and coordinated, just like an extremely sophisticated machine, without any deviation or mistake, everything was so pleasing to the eye!

Although Zhou Yi was not aware that this was a technique created by Luo Chen himself, she was silently comparing his movements with those of Fan Yu in her mind, and the final conclusion was… there was no comparison!

Yes, compared to her husband’s movements when he was engraving the core array of the soul guide, Luo Chen’s movements in front of her were undoubtedly smoother and more silky, and could even be described as “graceful”.

Just as Zhou Yi was watching intently, Luo Chen exhaled lightly, adjusted his breathing, and then slowly put down the soul guide carving knife in his hand. Then, he smiled and showed the soul guide core array in his hand, which had been engraved, to Fan Yu in front of him, and said with a smile:

“Teacher, I’m done!”

Only God knows how much impact these few simple words have caused on Fan Yu’s mind. Although he was extremely shocked in his heart, on the surface, Fan Yu still had a calm expression. After carefully observing the soul guide core formation in Luo Chen’s hand, he nodded slightly.

“Very good. Compared with the previous soul guide core, this soul guide core array is much better. If we only judge based on the accuracy of the soul guide core array, even an ordinary third-level soul guide can’t be as accurate as you.”

“And, if I’m not mistaken, the method you used when engraving the soul guide core array didn’t seem to be the method you imitated from Yu Hao, right?”

Fan Yu first evaluated the soul guide core engraved by Luo Chen, and then looked at Luo Chen and asked him.

After hearing what their teacher said, Huo Yuhao and He Cai Tou finally realized what was wrong when Luo Chen was engraving the soul guide core formation.

In other words, the shock that Luo Chen brought to them was too great, which caused them to neglect this point. Otherwise, with their attention, they would still be able to judge this point.

After Fan Yu finished speaking, Luo Chen nodded and responded:

“Yes, teacher, you read it right. After I finished engraving the soul guide core array for the first time, I had already realized something. I felt that there were many areas for improvement in the method used by Yuhao, so I made some changes according to my own ideas.”

“And the fact is indeed as I guessed. After changing the order of engraving the soul guide core array, engraving the soul guide core array again is indeed much smoother. There were many places that needed to be handled carefully before, but now they can be solved with just a swipe…”

Seeing that Fan Yu noticed this, Luo Chen did not hide anything and told him everything he had thought of when he was engraving the soul guide core formation without any reservation.

As Luo Chen continued to talk, the expressions of Huo Yuhao and the others became more interesting. Until the end, even Fan Yu, who had been keeping a tense expression, couldn’t help himself.

Facing a monster with such a strong comprehension, even if he didn’t want to break through the defense, he had no choice. Just by imitating Huo Yuhao’s movements and practicing the engraving of the soul guide core formation twice, he was able to understand so many things and realize these ideas perfectly.

For a moment, Fan Yu’s eyes became unusually interesting when he looked at Luo Chen. He couldn’t imagine how much help the other party could provide to the development of the Soul Guidance System if he thoroughly understood the knowledge of the Soul Guidance System.
