NOVEL WEB Chapter 13: Multitasking
Chapter 13: Multitasking
Although Huo Yuhao was ready to sell the White Tiger Dagger, a level 5 soul guide, the effect of this soul guide itself was still very good.
The soul-devouring skill that comes with the soul guide core array can absorb external alien energy and convert it into armor-piercing attacks, which can barely be considered an integrated offense and defense.
"Let me see. This most complicated one should be the fifth-level soul guide core array. Let me look for it. Yes, there is a record of it in a book before, but the one recorded in it is only a third-level soul guide core array."
'The complexity is far different from this fifth-level soul guide core array, but this fifth-level soul guide core array seems to be able to be disassembled, but the power consumed is too much. My mental strength does not seem to be enough at the moment.'
At this time, Huo Yuhao glanced at the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm who was still sleeping soundly. Unlike the previous Thunder Dragon Claw, the Thunder Dragon Claw was only a first soul skill after all, and it was only at the hundred-year level and was not complicated.
However, the fifth-level soul guide core formation could not be fully simulated with the mental power at his disposal. Although he could remember its structure, he could not form it directly.
It seems that if we want to try to disassemble it, we must rely on some of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's mental power.
Because he wanted to help Huo Yuhao practice, while at the same time allowing himself to sleep happily.
Therefore, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm also released a part of its own spiritual power, allowing it to flow naturally in the sea of spirituality, while continuously replenishing the running route it had set.
Although this part of mental power is only a drop in the bucket compared to the huge mental power source of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, drawing some of it from it is definitely enough for Huo Yuhao at the moment.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao is the master of the Sea of Spirit, and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is just a guest staying here, so even if the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is still sleeping.
Even without the permission of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao could directly mobilize this part of the unsealed spiritual power in the sea of consciousness.
After a brief preparation, and by drawing on the spiritual power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, a fifth-level soul guide core formation structured with spiritual power appeared in front of Huo Yuhao.
Then, with the investment of a large amount of mental energy, this complex soul guide core formation began to gradually dismantle and reassemble.
'It's still a bit complicated. It's more troublesome to disassemble it to retain its functions than to use it directly, but at this speed it shouldn't take much time.'
Not long after, the originally complete fifth-level soul guide core formation was split into five parts that were simpler than the fifth-level soul guide core formation.
However, it is still much more complicated than the third-level soul guide core formation.
"These should be the core array of the fourth-level soul guide, but the specific effects cannot be identified yet. Let's take a closer look."
After another split, soon, the structure of each fourth-level soul guide core array was split into four identical soul guide core arrays, and after Huo Yuhao confirmed, their complexity was similar to the third-level soul guide core arrays recorded in the books.
'This makes it a little clear that the soul skills of ordinary soul masters also have structures similar to the soul guide core array, but they lack a large number of array structures for stability.'
"No, there seems to be something wrong with that." Huo Yuhao waved his hand, and a yellow spirit ring appeared in the sea of spirituality. It was a spirit master's century-old spirit ring.
"It should be said that because the task of stabilizing the structure is directly assigned to the spirit ring, the spirit skills of the spirit master do not need to be as stable as the spirit guide, but the logic is essentially the same."
'The more powerful the soul skill, the more complicated its composition principle, but the soul guide core array with the same effect can be stacked repeatedly.'
'After stacking, the effect will naturally increase, and this is the difference between the so-called third-level soul guide core array and the fourth-level soul guide core array.'
"According to this principle, perhaps the fifth-level soul guide core array is also composed in this way."
'However, a soul guide core array with a single structure and repeated stacking is difficult to produce diverse effects, so according to the effects required by the soul guide device, more different types of soul guide core arrays must be assembled.'
"But I don't have much time now. I'll continue my research sometime."
Thinking of this, after casually dispersing these soul guide core formation models, Huo Yuhao's spiritual body withdrew from the sea of consciousness.
He stretched himself and loosened his muscles which had become stiff from lying in bed. Wang Dong, who was standing by, couldn't help but complain when he saw Huo Yuhao's lazy look.
"I really don't know why you can be so careless. Your soul power level is not high to begin with, and you go to bed earlier than me every day. Aren't you afraid of being eliminated in the assessment later?"
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "The hermit has his own clever plan. If I am really eliminated, it might be Shrek Academy that suffers the loss."
“Bah, bah, bah, you shameless bastard, hurry up and run away, or you will be caught by that perverted old woman.” Wang Dong pulled Huo Yuhao, who had just stood up, and ran out in a hurry.
Huo Yuhao also let the other party pull him. Perhaps because of the previous communication, Wang Dong seemed to be much closer to Huo Yuhao at this time.
"Running every day, running every day, what's the use?" Although he already knew what would happen next, Huo Yuhao still thought helplessly.
After all, the bodies of first-year freshmen are still too fragile. If they lack food replenishment, the deficiency of qi and blood will be a serious problem. Therefore, although they develop very quickly, they should not exercise excessively, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
The correct way is to use soul power to nourish bones and meridians step by step. As for why Zhou Yi's running squeeze method has achieved good results, it can only be said that this is Shrek Academy after all, and the students there are either rich or noble.
Except for Huo Yuhao, a real commoner in the original novel, it is still possible for other students to spend money to buy some food that replenishes qi and blood, which is why there are not too many disadvantages.
However, spending a lot of time and having no method or technique to exercise through extremely inefficient weight-bearing running can only be considered as insane.
In other words, in the end, Huo Yuhao was given a patch on the Mysterious Heaven Skill that would allow him to warm up his meridians during strenuous exercise.
Otherwise, it is hard to say whether Huo Yuhao's small body will be damaged by this training method.
In the freshman class classroom, the class hasn't started yet, but everyone is already there. Soon, as Zhou Yi entered the classroom, everyone sat up straight with a serious expression.
Looking at these students who were like frightened birds, Zhou Yi just moved the corners of his mouth, and then said coldly: "Everyone stand up, gather at Shrek Square."
Then he walked out directly, and the other students did not dare to delay and quickly lined up to follow him.
At this time, on the square, piles of iron chains were piled together. These were the iron clothes that Zhou Yi specially used to "improve the physical fitness" of the students.
"Wang Dong, I've looked through your entrance exams, plus the test this morning. You, who have the highest level of cultivation, will be the monitor of the freshman class."
"At the same time, the position of squad leader is set as floating. Anyone who has the ability to defeat Wang Dong can naturally replace him as squad leader. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Upon hearing this, the eyes of the other students whose soul power was around level 18 and 19 suddenly became much sharper.
At the same time, as the teacher's lackey, Wang Dong unknowingly shared some of the students' resentment with Zhou Yi.
Through the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao could see that Wang Dong seemed to be thinking, and suddenly felt relieved. "It's okay, at least there is still hope, as long as he is not too stupid."
Zhou Yi then continued, "Each of you will take one of these iron suits. Put them on and start running around the square."
"Keep running until the end of get out of class. You can use soul power, but you cannot use soul skills."
"You will be ranked according to the number of laps you run. I will expel the last one. In my class, apart from assessments, I will set elimination targets for you at any time and anywhere!"
"Now that you understand, let's start right away!"
After hearing the rules of the last-out-of-the-finals elimination system, the students immediately rushed forward and put on their heavy iron armor.
Then, under the leadership of Wang Dong, they ran hurriedly.
At the same time, Zhou Yi was still exporting his own fallacies and distorted worldview to a group of students whose heads were still buzzing.
At this moment, because of the last-elimination system, most people had no intention of refutation or thinking about the loopholes in Zhou Yi's words.
Only Wang Dong, who had the best physical fitness in the team and had been paying attention to it from the beginning, and Huo Yuhao, who had never taken it seriously from beginning to end, were able to analyze the meaning of Zhou Yi's words.
Of course, Huo Yuhao was too lazy to think about it. He thought there was no need to waste his brain on a fool who had been brainwashed by Shrek.
"Brother Heavenly Dream, Brother Heavenly Dream, are you there? Wake up!" Through mental sharing, Huo Yuhao called out to Heavenly Dream who was still sleeping soundly.
"Ah? Uh! Yes, yes, I'm busy helping you practice, so what?" Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm didn't seem to realize that Huo Yuhao had known about his lazy sleep, and Huo Yuhao was too lazy to expose it.
"Brother Heavenly Dream, please help me and control my body to run a circle. Just follow the team normally. I will do something else with my attention."
"Okay, leave it to me. Isn't this a piece of cake?"
Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm agreed readily. The spiritual power that was originally in the meridians to guide Huo Yuhao's soul power was now driving the soul power and controlling Huo Yuhao's blood, qi, and muscles, and began to move.
Huo Yuhao did not use his soul power or mental power to resist the control of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, but temporarily handed over the control of his body to the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
"Okay, let's try out the effects of the several soul guide core arrays removed from the White Tiger Dagger."
"As long as you don't actively input too much soul power and only rely on mental power to build it, it shouldn't cause any serious accidents."
While Huo Yuhao was still testing the fourth-level soul guide core formations and trying to simplify and split them, some people at the end of the team were looking on in amazement.
They were all surprised at Huo Yuhao at this moment. You know, this was the one Zhou Yi had clearly pointed out as the last in terms of spirit power.
The soul power of everyone present was at least three levels higher than Huo Yuhao's. As a result, after running more than ten laps, Huo Yuhao was not even blushing or out of breath, and he followed closely in the first echelon of the team. He even looked more relaxed than Wang Dong, who had the strongest cultivation.
"Oh my god, what kind of monster is this?"
"No way, I thought that even though this was a last-place elimination system, the guy with the lowest soul power would definitely be at the bottom, but what's going on?"
"Monster, absolutely a monster. If this is the physical fitness of a 12th-level soul master, I will drop out of school!"
The few people running at the end of the team now had only despair in their eyes, because if nothing unexpected happened, the final candidates to be eliminated would definitely be from among them.
At this time, Wang Dong couldn't help but look sideways, muttering in his heart, "The hermit has his own tricks? Is your trick the physical fitness? Is the physical enhancement of the main body martial spirit really so strong? How come it looks better than my physical fitness."
"Well, the test is almost done. This should be a soul power compression array. It can only be split into a second-level soul guide core array at the lowest level. If it is split lower, it will lose its effect."
"This soul guide core array can gather energy, so let's call it an energy gathering array. It can be divided into a level 1 soul guide core array at the lowest level, which can quickly gather energy, which is just right for my current practice."
'The effect of this soul guide core array is to accelerate the transformation of energy. Combined with the White Tiger Dagger's devouring properties, this should be the reason.'
'It should be equally effective against heterogeneous energies, and it can be split into a first-level soul-guiding core array at the lowest level, which can then be used in conjunction with a soul-gathering array to accelerate cultivation.'
'The effect of this soul guide core array should be to store soul power. At the very least, it can be divided into a first-level soul guide core array.'
"There is also a soul guide core array whose effect cannot be tested for the time being. I will find a place to study it slowly when I return."
When Huo Yuhao had almost finished his research, many students still fell to the ground one after another. Even though they were facing elimination, their physical strength had been squeezed out at this time. These boys and girls could no longer muster the will to continue.
“Oh my god, you’re a pervert!” Wang Dong said gritting his teeth beside Huo Yuhao.
At this moment, the get out of class was about to end, and 90% of the students could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
Even Wang Dong's body had reached its limit at this time, and he ran step by step.
However, Huo Yuhao was still running at a constant speed, but he was simply cheating. With the help of the mental power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the pressure on every muscle and bone in his body and the energy consumed were the optimal solution.
Moreover, the constant supply of soul power has greatly prolonged the fatigue threshold of muscles and bones, so that although Huo Yuhao is sweating profusely now, it is just that and is far from reaching his limit.
At this time, Huo Yuhao also took back control of his body, and the bell for the end of get out of class rang.
