Chapter 355 If It Doesn't Work, We Can Give Him
The feeling of weakness faded, replaced by an unprecedented excitement, and the mind was extremely clear, as if everything in the world was within reach.
In this wonderful feeling, Han Yu's fingertips seemed to be full of magic. The carving knife in his hand flew up and down under his dexterous control, like a fluttering butterfly, dancing a graceful arc on the surface of the rare metal.
The sharp blade lightly passed through the metal without a trace of obstruction, as easy as cutting tofu.
One after another, exquisite patterns flowed out from the carving knife like elves, gradually emerging on the surface of the metal.
These patterns are complex and exquisite, but also natural, as if the texture contained in the metal itself was awakened by Han Yu's carving knife, showing the beauty they should have.
Han Yu's breathing was steady and long, his eyes were focused and deep, as if the whole world had disappeared, leaving only the rare metal in his hand and the soul guide he was carving.
He was completely immersed in the state of making soul guides, with no distractions and forgetting himself.
The noise of the outside world, the pressure of the competition, and even the passage of time could not affect him at all.
His mental power was highly concentrated, integrated with the carving knife in his hand, accurately controlling the strength and angle of each knife, and pouring his ideas and creativity into the production of soul guides without reservation.
At this moment, Han Yu seemed to have transformed into a skilled artist, using his carving knife to carve his dreams, his persistence, and his love for soul guides on metal.
He forgot all distractions, devoted himself to this creation, and enjoyed this pure happiness.
The carving knife in his hand was sometimes as light as a swallow, sometimes as swift as an eagle, sometimes as graceful as a dragon, and sometimes as steady as a rock.
Every swing was full of power and beauty, and every time the knife fell, it was extremely precise and just right.
Under his carving knife, the surface of the metal gradually became smooth as a mirror, but full of texture and layers.
Those exquisite patterns, shining like stars, interweave into a mysterious and beautiful pattern, emitting a heart-pounding energy fluctuation.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from Han Yu's forehead, but he was unaware of it. All he saw was the soul guide in his hand, and all he had in his heart was his love for the soul guide.
He seemed to be integrated with the soul guide, feeling its pulse and listening to its breathing.
At this moment, he was no longer an ordinary soul guide, but a real creator, an artist who gave life to metal with his own hands.
The carving knife in his hand was no longer a cold tool, but a magical brush, depicting his dreams and his future.
He was immersed in this wonderful state, feeling the joy of creation, forgetting time, forgetting space, forgetting everything.
He only knew that he wanted to make this soul guide perfect, extreme, and impeccable.
This was the state he dreamed of, and it was also the state that all soul guides dreamed of.
This state is called the unity of body and mind in the soul guide world, which is a state that can be encountered but not sought.
It cannot be obtained through deliberate practice, but needs to emerge naturally when the essence, qi and spirit reach the peak harmony.
This requires soul guides to have a deep theoretical foundation and rich practical experience, and their cultivation and mental strength must also reach a certain level.
Only when these conditions are met can the state of unity of body and mind appear.
The production of a level nine soul guide requires extremely high requirements for soul guides, and the state of unity of body and mind is even more indispensable.
In the production process, ordinary soul guides need to maintain a high degree of concentration and precise operation at all times, and the slightest carelessness will lead to failure.
They do not have the heaven-defying ability of spiritual detection like Han Yu, which can help themselves avoid mistakes.
Only by entering the state of unity of body and mind can the complex production process be simplified, as smooth as flowing water.
The chief referee Ye Yulin, Starry Sky Douluo, is also a highly respected level nine soul guide. At this moment, he is staring at Han Yu intently, with unconcealed admiration and desire in his eyes.
The talent and skills displayed by this young man amazed him.
In his opinion, Han Yu is definitely a rare genius in a century! No matter who his teacher is, Ye Yulin is determined to take him in.
Such a disciple is a treasure that any soul guide dreams of.
The production progress of other participating soul guides is completely opposite to Han Yu.
They have completed the production of the core array and started to assemble other soul guide parts.
This part of the work is relatively easy and does not require huge energy and mental power like the core array.
Since the competition also includes subsequent skill challenges, these soul guides have reserved a certain amount of time to recover their energy when making plans, so as to better cope with the next challenges.
The skill challenge is extremely difficult and has extremely high requirements for the comprehensive quality and adaptability of soul guides.
After completing the production of the core array, they gradually relaxed and began to observe the situation of other opponents. Soon, Han Yu became the focus of their attention.
It was hard for them not to pay attention, because next to Han Yu, there stood a humanoid soul guide about two meters and five meters tall!
A representative player from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, an experienced soul engineer, when he saw the humanoid soul guide made by Han Yu, the stamping grinding tool in his hand shifted due to distraction, causing a piece of precious rare metal to be scrapped. , and almost hurt his hand.
When the other soul masters saw this scene, their eyes widened, with shock and disbelief written on their faces. Only He Caitou remained calm and focused because he didn't notice Han Yu's situation.
Humanoid soul guide? He actually made a humanoid soul guide during the competition?
The deputy leader's slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a crisp sound that was particularly clear in the silent room.
Her tone was low, but with an air of calmness and authority: "As for the young man named Han, have you found out his origins?" Her voice was deliberately lowered, as if she was worried about disturbing something.
Nangong Wan hurriedly bowed and replied respectfully: "My subordinates have sent people to investigate carefully, but there are no clues yet. He seems to have appeared out of thin air, and no background information can be found."
He paused, a trickle of sweat broke out on his forehead, "He had brought several followers with him before. We thought he was from some secret sect."
Nangong Wan raised his hand to wipe his sweat, "We have searched almost all known sects and even used some secret channels, but still found nothing."
He took a deep breath and continued: "However, my subordinates think that his identity and origin are not important." He carefully observed the face of the deputy leader and said tentatively: "Since he will come to participate in the competition for the reward , indicating that he is not well-off financially at least." Nangong Wan said with a hint of certainty in his tone, "As for other aspects, I don't think it is a problem.
If it doesn't work, we can give him..." He made a gesture of wiping his neck, "or brainwash him so that he can be completely used by us. "
After listening to Nangong Wan's words, the deputy leader frowned and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
She slammed the table with a loud bang, and the air in the room seemed to freeze.
"Idiot!" she yelled angrily, her voice filled with an icy chill.
Nangong Wan was startled by the sudden rebuke, his face instantly turned pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He quickly knelt down on the ground, his body trembling slightly, and said in fear: "Please teach me a lesson from the deputy leader!"
The deputy leader looked coldly at Nangong Wan who was kneeling on the ground, and his tone was cold and biting: "He is a soul master, not an ordinary soul master!
What a soul master needs is creativity and inspiration! If you brainwash him, his memory will be greatly reduced. The soul master's ability may be restored through guidance and training, but do you think it can be restored in such a delicate and complicated process as making a soul guide? "
She took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart, "When dealing with such special talents, the best way is to win over them!"
Nangong Wan quickly nodded in agreement: "I understand, my subordinates. This time we took out the ninth-level fixed soul-guided artillery shells as a reward, also to win over him."
He paused and added: "What I mean is that if he really refuses to submit, we will consider other methods..."
"Well," the deputy leader nodded slightly, but his tone was still cold, "After this game is over, don't let him out of our sight again." She waved her hand, indicating that Nangong Wan could retreat.
If people who are familiar with Han Yu knew what happened here, they would definitely sigh that no matter where he goes, this kid is a piece of cake that everyone is fighting for!
In the Mingdu City, figures fell from the sky one after another, like black lightning piercing the night sky, and finally fell into the courtyard next to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
The matters at the palace had been dealt with, and the high-level soul engineers responsible for guarding the important warehouses rushed back immediately. After all, this is their fundamental base, and if anything goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.
There are eight high-level soul masters stationed in this heavily guarded warehouse. They all have unique skills and profound cultivation.
The old man at the head was named Xu Guozhong. He was tall but seemed a little thin. His sunken eye sockets seemed to hide countless secrets, and his dark skin revealed a bit of the bloodline of the previous royal family.
Since the father of the current Holy Emperor Xu Tianran usurped the throne, the dark skin color that symbolizes the royal status has gradually been diluted, and the skin color of the new royal family is more fair.
Although Xu Guozhong has the blood of the previous royal family, he was one of the key figures who betrayed the old royal family. It is precisely because of his great contribution in usurping the throne that he was deeply favored by the current emperor, and was promoted to a high position, and became a highly respected minister.
However, Xu Guozhong is not a fan of Prince Xu Tianran. He is like a grassroots who will fall to whichever side gains power. Currently, Prince Xu Tianran is actively trying to win over him.
Xu Guozhong was named "Guozhong", but in fact he had no loyalty at all. He was only interested in profit and regarded personal interests as more important than anything else.
Back then, it was he who helped the current emperor successfully usurp the throne. In return, he received a large amount of rare medicines, which helped him cultivate to his current level.
Even though he was just responsible for guarding a warehouse, the oil and water involved was beyond what ordinary people could imagine, and the remuneration was staggeringly high. More importantly, the position gave him immense power.
If you want to mobilize the rare metals and precious equipment stored in the warehouse, you must have the emperor's personal handwriting. Even Prince Xu Tianran has no right to use it without authorization.
The inventory and quantity statistics of all items in the warehouse are controlled by Xu Guozhong.
Occasionally, he would secretly smuggle some rare metals out, and the wealth he gained from it was comparable to astronomical figures.
Xu Guozhong himself was a prince of the empire, with a high position and extensive connections in the military. He was also a ninth-level soul mentor and a real dignitary in the Sun and Moon Empire. If he stomped his feet, the entire empire would tremble.
Recently, Prince Xu Tianran has been trying to win over Xu Guozhong, but he has been reluctant to make a clear statement because he is still waiting and looking forward to greater benefits.
After all, with his power and status in the empire, even if Xu Tianran ascended the throne, his support would be indispensable.
Xu Guozhong walked steadily through the garden of the palace and went straight to the warehouse in the deepest part of the mansion.
He was of medium build, but he exuded a shrewd and capable aura.
He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, shining with the luster of gold threads in the sun, highlighting his noble status.
As a relative of the emperor, he could have enjoyed the splendor and wealth leisurely, but for him, nothing was more pleasant than counting the treasures in his own treasury.
He pushed open the heavy door of the warehouse, and a damp and musty smell came to his nose, but this did not affect his interest at all.
The warehouse was brightly lit, illuminating the dazzling array of rare treasures.
The first floor was stacked with rare minerals from all over the country, each of which was shining with an attractive luster.
The second floor was filled with a variety of antique calligraphy and paintings, each of which was priceless.
The third floor was his most cherished secret treasure house, which contained peerless treasures that only he knew.
He climbed up to the third floor with ease, took out a golden key from his arms, and carefully opened the door of the treasury.
Suddenly, the golden light was overflowing, and the jewels were shining, almost blinding his eyes.
He greedily glanced at the treasures in front of him, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
There are crystal clear night pearls, exquisite jade carvings, and priceless antique weapons, each of which makes him love it.
He carefully picked up a night pearl and looked at it carefully.
This night pearl is as big as a fist, crystal clear, and emits a soft light.
He gently stroked the night pearl, as if stroking his lover.
"It's so beautiful!" He couldn't help but exclaim.
For him, these treasures are not only a symbol of wealth, but also a symbol of his power and the meaning of his life. (End of this chapter)
