Mirror Hongchen's mind was filled with Soul-guiding Devices at the moment.
Su Yu seemed to have opened the door to a new world for him.
Indeed, arrays are not just the core of Soul-guiding Devices.
The array itself is the fundamental structure of energy operation in this world!
It's the summary of energy operation methods, the elucidation of energy's circulation.
It's just that they were discovered by Soul Guides and applied in the creation of Soul-guiding Devices.
Thanks to Su Yu's "reminder," Mirror Hongchen was bursting with inspiration at this moment.
Arrays can be integrated into Martial Souls, strengthening them.
Arrays can be fused into Soul Masters' bodies, enhancing their strength.
Arrays can even be integrated into Spiritual Power!
...
Mirror Hongchen's thoughts suddenly opened up.
And precisely because of this broadened thinking, he had a clear direction for further upgrading the Soul-guiding Armor.
The set of Soul-guiding Armor on Meng Hongchen was not yet complete. Once fully developed, it would consist of thirteen parts, covering the forehead, shoulders, chest, elbows, abdomen, hips, knees, and hands.
At that time, it would truly form a full body armor with interlocking defense mechanisms among the parts, producing a defense effect that might only be second to the Fifth-Level Invincible Shield!
If fully activated, even the full-powered strike of a Soul Saint might be withstood.
Of course, the consumption of Soul Power would be enormous as a result.
But its advantage is that it won't be scrapped; it's a reusable armor.
This is already Mirror Hongchen's limit.
Higher level Soul-guiding Armor is not impossible to make, but the problem lies in whether it can be used once created.
The Soul-guiding Device at each of the thirteen parts consumes Soul Power for operation, and the interaction between components also requires coordination through Soul Power.
As each component's level increases individually, Soul Power consumption will correspondingly increase, which is not bearable for an ordinary Soul Master.
Besides the consumption of Soul Power, there's also the issue of control.
This is not just a problem of the Soul-guiding Armor, but a common flaw of all advanced Soul-guiding Devices above Level 7.
There's a sense of friction in operation, a feeling of disharmony.
Unless it's tailor-made and perfectly compatible with oneself, using high level Soul-guiding Devices will have a very significant sense of friction.
Thus, high level Soul-guiding Devices appear more in the form of Soul-guided Cannons.
Non-cannon forms of advanced Soul-guiding Devices still become the masterpieces of the respective Soul Guides.
Impacting from top to bottom, lower level Soul-guiding Devices also lean more towards the research of Soul-guided Cannons, as this direction is more refined and holds a brighter future.
But after today, everything might change.
Mirror Hongchen is very clear that once his current ideas come to fruition, it will change the historical development of Soul-guiding Devices!
Achieving further integration of Soul-guiding Devices and Soul Masters through arrays, thus greatly reducing the discord between the two.
Mirror Hongchen began extensive research.
In his office, the sound of continuous forging of rare metals filled the air.
...
Su Yu's cultivation life returned to normal.
This battle gave Su Yu a more direct understanding of his own strength.
Refining the Ninth-Grade Snow Lotus also granted him an all-round improvement.
"Most importantly, Mirror Hongchen and the teachers are all busy now."
The skills Su Yu exposed in this battle also had their own purposes.
"Hopefully, they can seize this inspiration?"
...
Cultivation has always been monotonous and tasteless.
However, adding the learning of new things can somewhat enhance the experience.
Su Yu is like this.
While cultivating, he tirelessly studies Soul-guiding Devices.
The battle with Xiao Hongchen and his sibling exposed Su Yu's level as a Third-level Soul Guide.
This made Xiao Hongchen, who considers himself a genius, feel suffocated.
How long has Su Yu studied Soul-guiding Devices? Just five months, right?
Five months, a Third-level Soul Guide!
That's simply absurd.
After the battle, Xiao Hongchen plunged into a frenetic learning spree, crazily crafting Soul-guiding Devices to strengthen his foundation.
Though Meng Hongchen remained rational, she didn't slack for a moment and successfully certified as a Fourth-level Soul Guide a month later.
The siblings' Soul Power Cultivation didn't fall behind either; they achieved breakthroughs two months after the battle.
Xiao Hongchen reached Level 49, while Meng Hongchen attained Level 48!
...
"Boss, you've broken through again?"
Feeling the Soul Power ripple from Su Yu's direction, Not Much Money screamed miserably.
Can you let people live?
You know how I've survived this past half year?
You should stop rolling!
"Finally broke through to Level 40." Su Yu showed a smile.
With one more Soul Ring, he'll be a thirteen-year-old Level 40 Soul Sect!
Since the last challenge against Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, six months have passed.
Su Yu celebrated his thirteenth birthday two months ago.
It's been less than a year since acquiring the Third Soul Ring.
Su Yu himself didn't expect to be hunting Soul Beasts for Soul Rings so soon again.
Indeed, the treatment at Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy is too good.
No, it should be said that the cultivation resources here in the Sun and Moon Empire are exceedingly abundant.
It's noteworthy that apart from Martial Soul exploration and summarizing Martial Soul cultivation techniques, the Sun and Moon Empire surpasses the original Douluo Continent's Three Great Empires especially in auxiliary Martial Soul cultivation.
Even Shrek can't compare!
It's not just about auxiliary cultivation medicines here; even their Soul Master state detection technology is most advanced.
The newest instrument researched by Mingde Hall can quantitatively measure various qualities of Soul Masters and provide specific values!
Martial Soul strength, the quality and quantity of Soul Power, physical attributes, even Spiritual Power intensity, are all within the instrument's monitor range!
This reflects Su Yu's cultivation effects more directly, making his training more scientific and efficient.
There's also the elixir for auxiliary Soul Power cultivation provided to Su Yu by Kong Deming after acknowledging him as a mentor.
Various factors increased Su Yu's Soul Power cultivation speed at least twofold!
Combine that with the Third-level Soul Power enhancement from the Ninth-Grade Snow Lotus and absorbing the Third Soul Ring, Su Yu directly boosted to Level 33.
All these factors together gave Su Yu the chance to continuously acquire the Third and Fourth Soul Ring within a year.
"As for the Fourth Soul Ring, the Soul Beasts in the Sun and Moon Empire must be carefully selected."
Su Yu shared the news of his Level 40 breakthrough with Mirror Hongchen.
As to why he didn't inform his own teacher, perhaps it had something to do with the recent battle at the old site of Tang Sect...
Simply put, Kong Deming went in search of the legacy of Tang Sect.
The result wasn't quite favorable.
Kong Deming inexplicably faced an attack from the Essence Sect, and then confronted Shrek.
...
Divine Realm.
The God of Destruction's questioning voice echoed in the Divine Realm Committee.
"Tang San, you've exceeded your limits!"
Tang San, embodying the Divine Positions of Sea God and Asura God, appeared unperturbed.
"My legacy left on Douluo Continent was stolen—"
"So long as it's not a Divine Position legacy, interfering with the Lower Realm's operation is a violation!"
