Xuan Ziwen nodded and said to Huo Yuhao who was sitting in the corner of the laboratory: "Yuhao, your idea is too perfect and very successful."
Hearing the praise, Huo Yuhao stopped what he was doing and snapped his fingers at Xuan Ziwen: “Teacher Xuan, your research is too lacking in ideas.”
Xuan Ziwen took the core array of the second-level soul guide from Ju Zi and walked towards Huo Yuhao: "As you said, a complex core array can actually be divided into many different simple lines and patterns, and then it is very simple to engrave it."
"I didn't expect that the engraving of the second-level core array could go so smoothly. Although the complexity of the third-level core array is far greater than that of the second level, according to your method, it won't take long to develop a soul guide machine tool that can engrave the third-level core array."
Huo Yuhao turned his head and smiled: "Teacher Xuan, don't overthink things. Master the ideas of recursion and looping. Even the most complicated processes can be achieved with simple means."
Xuan Ziwen nodded: "In my opinion, it won't take long to develop a soul guide machine tool that can mass-produce level 3 soul guides. However, there is a watershed between level 3 and level 4 soul guides. In my opinion, I'm afraid that if I want to upgrade to the next level by then, I will encounter a bottleneck."
Huo Yuhao shrugged and said, “Teacher Xuan, we’ll talk about it when the time comes. Anyway, our short-term mission is to help Hongchen Hall Master develop a soul guide machine tool that can mass-produce experimental tables.”
Xuan Ziwen looked at the second-level core magic circle in his hand again. The metal ball with a simple pattern made him very satisfied.
"What a pity..." Xuan Ziwen showed a regretful expression on his face, "Compared to the same level of soul guides, the development of soul guide machine tools is much more complicated, and the soul power consumed when using them is also far more than other soul guides."
"Moreover, a soul guide machine tool can only engrave one core array. This is probably one of its few shortcomings."
He returned to the soul guide machine, input soul power again, and continued engraving.
Ju Zi asked excitedly, "Teacher Xuan, can we really develop a soul guide machine tool that can engrave an eighth-level soul guide device or even a ninth-level soul guide device?"
Xuan Ziwen shook his head helplessly: "I'm afraid there is still a long way to go."
"The soul guide machine tool consumes too much soul power to operate. If this continues, I'm afraid that a level nine soul guide machine tool can only mass-produce a level five soul guide device."
"As for more advanced ones, let's talk about it after we completely solve the power problem."
Although Xuan Ziwen's answer was a bit regrettable, Juzi was not disappointed. She was already very satisfied with being able to mass-produce level 5 soul guides.
A soul guide group that can be fully armed with fifth-level soul guides can already be called the elite among the elite of the Sun-Moon Empire.
Even among the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Corps and the Four Beast King-level Soul Instructor Corps, most of their members only have cultivation levels of around forty or fifty.
If the soul power supply problem can be completely solved and Xuan Ziwen's sealed milk bottle is successfully developed, then the strength of the rest of the soul guide group can be greatly enhanced, and their combat power will be close to that of these elite troops.
Juzi's eyes became more determined. She knew the strategic significance of Huo Yuhao and Xuan Ziwen, and her desire to win them over became stronger.
Xuan Ziwen and the others were still debugging the system, but Huo Yuhao was in a corner, leisurely carving a core magic circle with a carving knife in his hand.
He now felt more relaxed than ever before, as if the pressure that had been binding him was gradually disappearing and his true nature was about to be exposed.
I finally have the ability, time and authority to do something I really want to do.
Jing Hongchen was very considerate and secretly gave Huo Yuhao very high authority for a young researcher.
The plan of taking advantage of the power of the tiger successfully deceived him, and the relationship between him and himself developed in a good direction.
Huo Yuhao hummed a little tune as the carving knife in his hand left a scratch on the metal block.
But strangely, his carving knife was not the one he always used, nor was it the Blade of Life.
This is a carving knife made purely of solidified ice, with a chilly white air emanating from it.
The soft water shows amazing hardness after solidifying, and is not at all inferior to metal when confronting it.
In the sea of spirit, the voice of the Ice Emperor was dissatisfied: "You actually used Xue'er's Emperor Sword to do this."
This is one of the three soul skills that Xue Di brought to Huo Yuhao.
After the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul merged with the Snow Empress, it not only gave him three soul skills, but also raised his Ultimate Ice level to a higher level. His soul power also rose by five levels, reaching level 45.
The palm of the sword makes the sky ice-cold, and the palm of the emperor's sword makes the sky cold.
These are the three soul skills that the Snow Empress brought to Huo Yuhao. They are the unique skills that made her famous, the Three Wonders of the Snow Empress.
Huo Yuhao really wanted to complain about these three moves and the awkward poem that came with them, but he soon immersed himself in developing his new soul skills.
The emperor's sword is extremely unparalleled.
The consumption of Snow Empress' Three Absolute Soul Skills is no less than that of Ice Empress's soul skills. With Huo Yuhao's current pure and rich soul power reserves, he can unleash two of them at full power. However, he has not had the opportunity to find someone to test the power recently.
He was very interested in the Emperor Sword move.
Because this move made him realize that ice has another powerful attribute besides being cold: hardness and sharpness.
Water, originally a soft and invisible substance, has a hardness comparable to that of metal after freezing into ice.
This made Huo Yuhao very excited. He had tried to use ice to cut even the metal that was not very solid, but in the end, the ice always shattered. But now, after learning the powerful soul skill of Emperor Sword, he could do it easily without spending too much soul power.
This also means that Huo Yuhao will now have more powerful means of killing.
"Hey, Yuhao, did you hear what I said?" The Ice Emperor kept scolding, "How could you use Xue'er's Emperor Sword to do such rough work?"
Xue Di waved her hands and said with interest: "It's okay, Bing'er. I can feel that Yu Hao is trying to digest and understand my Xue Di Three Wonders, and finally make it his own."
Huo Yuhao stopped what he was doing and spun the Ice Carving Knife gracefully: "Xue Di, you are right. I am not only learning your unique skills, but also developing my own moves."
"Do you want to create your own soul skills?" Xue Di asked.
"Of course." Huo Yuhao nodded.
Bingdi snorted: "You haven't even experienced Xue'er's three unique skills to their full potential, and you're already thinking about making random changes. Don't you like the three unique skills Xue'er brought you?"
Huo Yuhao admitted frankly: "A little bit, but it's due to other reasons."
"Actually, it's because among all the cold weapons, I don't really like swords."
Tian Meng asked doubtfully: "Yuhao, what kind of weapon do you like?"
"Spear." Huo Yuhao answered decisively.
"why?"
"An inch longer, an inch stronger. This is the experience and pragmatism that countless ancestors have learned through blood and sweat."
Huo Yuhao played with the literally cold weapon in his hand, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"On the battlefield of close combat, the spear will use actual combat results to announce to the world who is the king of cold weapons."
Xue Di narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I think I understand what you mean, but if you want to completely make my unique skills yours, you need to understand them well."
Huo Yuhao snapped his fingers and said confidently, “I will.”
Seeing that Xue Di was not disgusted, Bing Di snorted and said, "Since Xue Er also supports you, Yu Hao, you should learn it well."
Tian Meng walked gently to Bing Di and said with a sly smile: "Bing Bing, I feel that you have been a bit talkative in the past few days, and you have been smiling more often."
The Ice Emperor was stunned and denied it: "I didn't do that."
Tian Meng stuck out his tongue and said, "You still say no, lululu..."
Bingdi paused and said softly, "I'm just a little too happy to see Xue'er again."
"Bing'er." Xue Di looked at Bing Di gently.
"Hehe, Xue Di, you don't know how much Bing Bing misses you."
Tian Meng has a very naughty personality. Over the past few days, she has gone from being instinctively afraid of Xue Di to being able to commit suicide in front of Xue Di.
"When we parted, Bingbing was thinking about you like a spring, and she couldn't stop thinking about you every day. After she knew that it might be you who was taken away, she didn't say anything and went to save you."
At this moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped what he was doing, lowered his head and closed his eyes, stretched out a hand and clenched a fist to gently hit his forehead, seeming to be in discomfort.
"Ah? Yuhao, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Tianmeng asked with concern.
"nothing."
Huo Yuhao frowned and closed his eyes with a puzzled expression.
"But when I heard you mention the words 'thoughts are pouring out' and 'never forgetting', my scalp went numb and I felt sick all over."
Tianmeng: "..."
What kind of weird reason is this? Can she be blamed?
At this moment, Xuan Ziwen's voice came: "It's already noon, you guys should have lunch first, I'll go report the progress to the hall master."
“Yes.” Orange and the other two responded in unison, then moved closer to Huo Yuhao tacitly.
Huo Yuhao put away the ice carving knife in his hand and shrugged.
He knew that a new day's lunch meeting had begun.
"Have you heard?" Ke Ke asked excitedly while chewing, "Tonight, the royal family will host a banquet for the students of our academy. There will be a total of 150 people, and the seats will be selected from the students of Mingde Hall. If there are outstanding sixth-grade students, they will also have the opportunity to receive an invitation."
"If I can go to the palace for a banquet, will I have a chance to marry a royal family member?"
Huo Yuhao asked casually: "Senior Sister Keke, have you received an invitation?"
Ke Ke said dejectedly: "Not yet, but I believe I will have a chance."
Ju Zi said in a critical tone, "Well... Ke Ke, the invitations have basically been sent out. Those who haven't received any have basically not been selected."
Ke Ke asked in surprise: "Juzi, how did you know?"
"Because I have already received it." As he said this, Orange stuck out his tongue apologetically.
"What?" Keke and Zimu were shocked at the same time.
"Then, Orange, can you take me into the palace tonight?" Ke Ke excitedly grabbed Orange's hands, her eyes had turned into stars and her face was full of anticipation.
"I'm sorry, Keke. This time Director Lin has emphasized that it is strictly forbidden to bring outsiders to the banquet." Orange touched his head apologetically again.
"Why is this happening..." Ke Ke did not make a fuss unreasonably, but just lowered her head in disappointment.
Banquet?
It was not strange for the royal family to entertain ministers. Huo Yuhao knew that Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu both particularly liked to do so.
The huge palace can be lively, and the emperor and his ministers can use it to strengthen their relationship and talk about some secrets that are not suitable to be discussed in the court. In the worst case, the ministers can also get a free meal.
"Yuhao, have you received the invitation?" Orange suddenly asked.
“No.” Huo Yuhao did not expect Orange to ask him this question suddenly, so he answered truthfully.
Orange was puzzled and asked, "That's strange. The guests invited to this banquet are the best of the younger generation. How could you not have received it?"
“Maybe it’s because I’m from Xingluo and my identity is a bit taboo.” Huo Yuhao answered casually.
Juzi said: "Identity is not a problem. Teacher Xuan is also from Tianhun. Although he has never attended the banquet, he has always been invited."
Huo Yuhao felt strange in his heart.
Orange seemed very sure that he would be invited.
At this moment, the door of the third laboratory opened wide, and a figure walked in, leaving Huo Yuhao speechless.
