Chapter 338 Cracked!
Moreover, these magic tools are quite large in size, which seems to indicate that the final completed soul tool will have amazing power.
Ye Yulin had been attracted by Han Yu's calm and confident temperament before, and now seeing his alternative production method,
She even fixed her gaze firmly on him, her eyes full of inquiry. A trace of doubt arose in his heart: What on earth was this young man thinking?
Why not make the extremely difficult core array first, but instead start with a relatively simple outer shell?
Could it be that in his eyes, the shell device of a soul guidance device is more difficult to make than the core array?
Although his heart was full of doubts, Ye Yulin did not disturb Han Yu, because he knew that each soul master had his own unique production concepts and methods.
As a judge, what he has to do is to observe quietly, and ultimately judge based on the completion and power of the work, rather than interfering too much in the creative process of the contestants.
Each contestant has the option of making their own soul guide. This is the right given to them by the rules of the competition, and it is also an opportunity for them to show their personal style and strength.
"Next, you will each make the soul guide, which will take three hours."
Ye Yulin's voice reverberated above the competition stage like a loud bell, clearly reaching the ears of every participating soul master.
"The desk in front of each of you is equipped with various tools and materials needed to make soul guides. You can use your creativity as much as you like."
He paused and glanced at the nine contestants with sharp eyes.
"I want to remind you that in this production, each person is only allowed to make one soul guide, and,"
His tone became more serious,
"It is absolutely not allowed to use any semi-finished products made in advance. Once discovered, you will be immediately disqualified from the competition!"
"After three hours of making the soul guide, you will go directly to the skills assessment without any rest time in between."
Ye Yulin's voice sounded again, with a bit of unquestionable majesty,
"The skill assessment will adopt a last-place elimination system, and your final ranking will also determine the opponents you will face in the quarterfinals."
He deliberately emphasized the words "Qualfinal Match", as if with a huge force, it was pressing on the hearts of every participating soul master.
"I want to emphasize again," Ye Yulin's voice became deep and powerful,
"The skill test is very difficult. You need to allocate your energy and soul power reasonably during the process of making the soul guide, and do not consume it excessively, so as not to affect the subsequent skill test."
His profound eyes seemed to be able to see through the thoughts of every contestant.
"Remember, only by maintaining your best condition can you go further in the next game."
After hearing the words of Star Douluo Ye Yulin, the nine people participating in the competition were secretly shocked. Even the ninth-level soul master said that the skill test was very difficult, so you can imagine the difficulty.
Han Yu also felt secretly awe-inspiring in her heart. She closed her eyes slightly, placed her hands on the table, and waited quietly.
"Timer starts! Soundproof shield, up."
Following Ye Yulin's loud shout, a layer of faint white light rose from around the competition stage. The soft white light soon gathered into a dome in the air, covering the entire competition stage.
The noise from the outside world is completely isolated.
Star Douluo Ye Yulin also sat back in his seat, looking with burning eyes at the participating soul mentors who started to take action.
Han Yu started to move the moment Ye Yulin started shouting. He spread out his hands at the same time, each grabbing a piece of rare metal. He skillfully pulled the stamping device on the soul guide making table and started making it.
Unlike others who make the core array first while their energy is at their highest. Han Yu was the first to start making the shell.
I saw his hands flying, his movements extremely fast, and pieces of rare metals were constantly being made and stamped in his hands using various tools. Created into different forms.
Han Yu's choice made him the focus of everyone's attention. The movements in his hands were as smooth as clouds and flowing water. Pieces of metal flipped and jumped in his hands. Every strike was precise and powerful.
The forging hammer in his hand seemed to be integrated with him. Every swing carried a strange rhythm, and the sound of metal collision turned into a beautiful movement in his hand.
He first picked up a round metal block and heated it on the soul furnace. Golden flames rose up and enveloped the metal block.
As the temperature rises, the metal block gradually turns red, emitting a scorching light like magma.
He picked up the metal block with iron tongs, placed it on the anvil, swung the forging hammer, and struck it again and again.
With each strike, the metal block is compressed and deformed, gradually forming a circular groove. Sweat slipped from his forehead, dripped on the metal block, and instantly evaporated into a wisp of smoke.
But he didn't care, and stared intently at the metal piece in his hand, as if he and the piece of metal were the only ones left in the world.
He constantly adjusted the intensity and angle of the knocks, striving to make every detail perfect. Soon, the first metal shell was completed. It was a circular metal shell about one foot in diameter, with a smooth surface and no flaws.
He put the completed metal shell aside, picked up a new metal block, and started the next round of forging.
Ye Yulin's eyes were originally wandering around the arena, looking for an opponent worthy of attention, but because of Han Yu's special identity, they stopped on him.
He saw that Han Yu did not concentrate on carving the core array like other contestants, but buried his head in the metal materials, hammering and hammering quickly, and metal components took shape in his hands one by one, which surprised him.
Ye Yulin frowned slightly, and his heart was full of questions: What is this young man doing? Doesn't he know that when he is most energetic, he should give priority to completing the most critical and difficult core array carving?
Why not make the core array instead of fiddling with these shells? In his eyes, is the shell device of a soul guide more difficult than the production of the core array?
Although Ye Yulin was puzzled, he did not question it out loud. After all, every soul guide has his own habitual production method. As a judge, he only needs to judge after the final result comes out.
Han Yu's hands were like butterflies flying through flowers, dancing quickly between various metal materials and tools.
He precisely controlled his soul power, cutting and shaping pieces of metal, and then used precise soul power to control them to splice together to form metal shells of different sizes.
On the operating table, the sound of metal collision, the humming of soul power, and the sound of metal chips flying intertwined, like a rhythmic metal sonata.
As time went by, he made more and more metal shells, which had smooth surfaces and sharp edges. It was obvious that they were made by experienced soul masters.
Each metal shell was carefully polished by him, striving for perfection.
The space on the operating table was gradually occupied, and he had to place the finished metal shells neatly on the ground.
These metal shells were stacked together, like small metal mountains, occupying a corner of the room, and also showing Han Yu's amazing production speed and efficiency.
Among the seven judges, an old man sitting on the far left frowned and said, "Isn't that special guy from Xishui League going to make such a big soul guide just to use more rare metals to take away?"
Ye Yulin also frowned. He might have thought of what the referee said, and it seemed very likely.
It took a total of three hours to make it. It was less than a quarter of an hour before Han Yu had already used a lot of rare metals.
And he made so many things similar to the shell of the soul guide. It can be imagined that the size of the soul guide he made today must not be small.
The biggest advantage of this production method is that it can take away a large amount of rare metals. However, he is now using relatively cheap rare metals.
Nothing particularly expensive is used.
But with Ye Yulin's experience, he can't tell what kind of soul guide this young man named Han is going to make. Is it his original creation? That's a bit interesting.
Han Yu's movements were very fast and he looked very serious, but no one noticed that although his eyes were serious and persistent, they were less lively than before.
The feeling of soul separation was really painful! Resisting the weak feeling that came with the soul's departure, Han Yu's movements were not slow, but his spiritual sea was churning violently.
It would be great if I could achieve the materialization of spiritual power. When I reach that tangible and material realm, there would be no so many problems in dividing the spirit.
Han Yu certainly knew that he should use the time when he had the most energy to make the core array first. But now, he simply couldn't concentrate!
Han Yu sat in front of the workbench, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, frowning slightly.
His consciousness switched back and forth between two places, as if two pictures were intertwined in his mind.
On one side was Mingdu, the bustling city, where his spiritual body was shuttling between high-rise buildings at an astonishing speed; on the other side was the room he was in at the moment, where he needed to concentrate on making soul guides.
This feeling of splitting his mind made him feel dizzy. It was as if his head was split in half and stuffed into two different worlds. Every switch was like experiencing a miniature space jump, which gave him a splitting headache.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm his surging thoughts.
The separation of mental power was more difficult than he thought, especially when he had to control the actions of both sides at the same time.
His spiritual body was flying over Mingdu, and because of the distraction of energy, it had passed through the building several times.
Fortunately, with the cover of the mimicry soul skill, it did not attract anyone's attention.
On this side, the production of the soul guide was not going smoothly.
His fingers were stiff, his movements were slow, and the originally precise operation became clumsy.
Several times, he almost destroyed the precious materials.
"Huh..."
Han Yu took another deep breath and tried to concentrate himself.
He knew that he could not panic now and had to adapt to this state as soon as possible.
He closed his eyes and completely immersed his consciousness in his spiritual body.
The night scene of Mingdu emerged in his mind, with busy streets, flashing neon lights, and a constant flow of people. His spirit body turned into a shadow, quietly shuttling through the night sky.
He needed to find the target as soon as possible, so that he could focus on the production of the soul guide.
Gradually, he began to adapt to this state.
The consciousness of both sides gradually separated and no longer interfered with each other as before.
While controlling the spirit body to search over Mingdu, he began to make the shell of the soul guide.
His fingers danced flexibly, and the metal material seemed to have life in his hands, constantly deforming and combining according to his wishes.
Every part and every detail was carefully polished by him.
Although he could not make the core array that required high concentration of spirit due to the dispersion of mental power, it was not difficult for him to make the shell of the soul guide.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the shell of the soul guide gradually took shape.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from Han Yu's forehead, but he didn't care.
He knew that everything he was doing now was for the final victory.
There was no cooperation from the main body for mental detection, so he could only make the shell now.
Fortunately, fortunately, this soul guide he was going to make now was not the first time he made it.
He had tried this soul guide many times in private, and each time he made it, he had a deeper understanding of the structure of the soul guide, the connection of the core array, and the characteristics of various metals.
Although the previous attempt did not succeed in the end, it also allowed him to accumulate valuable experience. This time, the production can be said to be a piece of cake for him.
What's more, now there are so many precious rare metals that he can use at will, the cost of failure is greatly reduced, and he can let go and try boldly.
He doesn't care whether he will fail this time. He just wants to make this soul guide as quickly as possible.
He wants everyone, whether it is the judges or the audience, to be amazed by his work today. He wants to give everyone a big surprise.
And this soul guide is the most important part of his plan today, and it is the top priority.
When he tried to make this soul guide before, he had no confidence to use precious rare metals. He could only use some ordinary iron essence to make the shell, and the outline of the core array could only use some low-level materials, which greatly limited the power of the soul guide.
But now it is different. This competition provides him with the best opportunity. He can use all kinds of precious materials to make this soul guide to the best state.
He must seize this opportunity to show his strength as much as possible and strive for the greatest benefit for himself. (End of this chapter)
