Douluo Peerless: Eye of Truth

After absorbing the second soul ring, Huo Yuhao led the Soul Hunting Team back to Shrek Academy. No new accidents occurred on the way back to the city.

The trip took a total of fourteen days, and there were still sixteen days left until the end of the holiday.

Huo Yuhao was not planning to go out during this period of time. After all, everything he needed to prepare was almost complete, and there was nothing else to do.

He now basically lives in the dormitory, occasionally going out to eat and exercise. Most of the time in the dormitory, Huo Yuhao is testing and trying to modify his newly acquired second soul skill, Mental Suggestion, in his sea of ​​​​spirituality.

"After testing, it turned out to be similar to what I expected when I first acquired this spirit skill. It can bypass spirit protection and spirit perception through a specific spirit frequency to affect others. However, it should be due to the age of the spirit ring. The effect is too weak."

"The mutant three-eyed demon ape should have used this mental suggestion combined with another strong control type of mental soul skill to influence several other people, but its mental power and level are still too low compared to you, Mr. Alex , and Brother Heavenly Dream in my sea of ​​​​spirit."

"So it has no obvious effect on me. Compared with simply using mental suggestion, it is better to combine it with other mental attribute attacks or mental attribute-affecting soul skills in actual combat."

Then, in Huo Yuhao's hand, along with the gathering and outlining of his mental power, an enlarged soul ring appeared directly in front of Huo Yuhao. Its color and image were exactly Huo Yuhao's second soul ring.

Then, Huo Yuhao began to make modifications based on the original one, retaining the influence and composition of the martial soul on the main body of the soul ring unchanged, and began to superimpose, cover and stack new structures and patterns for this soul ring.

Finally, under Huo Yuhao's conception, a pure black soul ring took shape in his sea of ​​​​consciousness.

"Mental suggestion, mental control, and mental interference, that should be enough. We can maximize the advantages of mental suggestion to destroy and circumvent the opponent's soul and mental defense. It is difficult to detect and can pave the way for other mental methods."

“Once this spirit skill is completed, it will be called spirit disintegration.” Huo Yuhao’s brows relaxed. He looked towards a corner of the spirit sea and saw a small grey ball floating up and hovering around Huo Yuhao, observing him. “Master Alex, what do you think?”

The old voice responded: "The soul power circuit you created based on the so-called soul skills and soul rings is quite interesting."

"There are many similarities between these and some of the magic arrays and magic structures guided by mental power that I used in my previous world."

"It's just that the foundation is quite different. But I can see that your eyes are very impressive. Even for me to fully understand the logic of a soul skill or magic, I need to put in some effort."

"For you now, it's just a matter of taking a few more glances. However, the paths are different and the result is the same. I have been looking into your sea of ​​​​spirituality for such a long time, and I have figured out some of the secrets."

"These soul skills and soul power circuits you have constructed are all based on the original ability structure of this world through the so-called soul power. How about these two magics I have constructed?"

A very light gray airflow floated out from the gray ball and then directly entangled the mental mimicry soul ring structure that Huo Yuhao had previously constructed.

With the entry of this gray airflow, the originally constructed mental power mimicry soul ring structure collapsed in an instant, and the part of the mental power that symbolized soul power was restored to mental power.

Then, driven by the gray airflow, these mental powers turned into lines, and then the lines became surfaces, quickly piecing together two simple figures.

"Little guy, can you tell what these two structures are?"

After Huo Yuhao opened the Eye of Truth, he carefully observed the two figures in front of him while constantly searching for the knowledge stored in his sea of ​​​​spiritual consciousness.

He frowned and asked, "Could it be the Thunder Dragon Claw? No, there seems to be a wind blade structure in this structure. The other one is the mental collapse just now?"

"No, why is there another rune attached to this mental collapse? Is this an absorption rune? Are there other runes?"

That’s right. After repeated comparisons, Huo Yuhao discovered that these two soul skills were extremely simple, with only a skeleton structure. A large number of their components were similar to the several soul skills he had recorded, but the details were not exactly the same.

However, it is difficult to determine, because the composition of these graphic structures is so simple. Even with Huo Yuhao's own mental power, he can probably easily complete one of them within three breaths. As long as he practices more, it will not be difficult to complete it instantly in battle.

"Yes, this is the Thunder Dragon Claw, but to be more precise it should be the Swift Wind Dragon Claw because it is made of wind elements. The other one is the Spiritual Disintegration you just created, but on the basis of the original one, I added an additional structure for absorption for you."

"This first array structure is not easy to try out in this sea of ​​​​spirituality. Little guy, you will know after you try it in the outside world. Leave the matter of concealing the fluctuations of the breath to me." It sounded that Alex was in a good mood.

As Huo Yuhao's consciousness left the sea of ​​​​spiritual ​​sea and regained control of his body, Huo Yuhao imitated the mental force structure that Alex had demonstrated before and outlined it in the air in front of him.

Along with these mental structures as the skeleton, a miniature dragon claw composed of tightly arranged wind elements appeared in the air. As Huo Yuhao withdrew his mental power, the Swift Wind Dragon Claw immediately dissipated.

Huo Yuhao blinked and asked Alex in his mind: "Is this... the elemental molecules in the air spontaneously filling the remaining part of this soul skill?"

Alex's old voice responded: "Yes, that's right. The soul power circuits and soul skills you built before were all for the purpose of stabilizing their structure, so a lot of redundant parts were added to the base."

"There are naturally benefits to doing this, which is that through the construction and stabilization of soul power, you can reduce the output of mental power while allowing these soul skills and soul power circuits to exist for a long time."

"But as a spiritual master, compared to other soul masters, your strongest point is actually your spiritual power, not your soul power."

'If we do this at the same time, the biggest disadvantage is that the formation speed is slow, and the mobilization and operation of soul power and mental power are quite complicated.'

'This also means that you have almost no time to slowly build up during the battle, so I borrowed the magic concepts from my world and modified some of them for you.'

'It eliminates the need to combine mental power and soul power to form a composite structure. Instead, it uses pure mental power to draw in external elemental power to complete the structure of the soul skill. However, its power depends on the amount of mental power you put in and the concentration of external elemental power.'

'The power of the final soul skill is directly proportional to these two factors. Of course, the most important thing is the mental power, which determines the upper limit of its power, while the concentration of elemental power determines its lower limit.'

'At the same time, you should know that the affinity of the human body and energy to the elements will affect the nature of the spiritual power. The spiritual power will be close to the human body and the energy in the human body.'

"It's just that your current spiritual power is actually the simplest attributeless spiritual power. At most, it has a little bit of ice attribute due to the influence of the big bug, but because the martial soul it gave you has not yet taken shape, it is not obvious."

'This is why your spiritual power is not strong enough to attract various elements, so it is difficult to attract more elements and exert a stronger effect in an environment with average element concentration.'  

Huo Yuhao nodded thoughtfully: "I understand what you mean, Master Alex."

"I actually have some ideas about elemental affinity. I know a place where there are many rare and precious herbs that can greatly improve your aptitude and affinity for various attributes."

"Then what does the second graphic structure you showed me mean?" Huo Yuhao asked again in confusion.

'Spiritual power does not come out of nothing. In fact, spiritual power is directly linked to the strength of the soul, and the strength of the soul requires the physical body as a carrier.'

'Otherwise, no matter how powerful the consciousness or soul is, it will eventually become nothing more than a rootless duckweed.'

'Without your spiritual sea as a carrier, this old man's spiritual consciousness would also dissipate.'

'Your previous assumption was correct. Through the specific mental frequency of mental suggestion combined with mental control and mental interference, you can tear an imperceptible crack in the mind of others.'

'But once you encounter a being with a higher spiritual power level than you, the sheer amount of spiritual power will make it very difficult for you to succeed.'

'The effect of this absorption structure is to convert the opponent's mental power into the supply of your mental collapse soul skill.'

'Use the opponent's mental power to power the mental collapse. In this way, if you encounter those who have a higher mental power than you, as long as the opponent's mental power level does not exceed your mental power level.'

'Although the speed is slower, it is faster than simple mental suggestion. It can wear away the stone and break through the mental defense. I call this mental cannibalization.'

Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, who was sleeping peacefully in the sea of ​​​​spirituality, suddenly felt as if he was despised by someone from somewhere, but he didn't care. He turned over and continued to sleep.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up. This was indeed something he had not expected. The idea of ​​using another person's opponent's force to counter his own force was truly brilliant.

"I understand, Master Alex. I plan to continue my research on soul power circuits and mental spellcasting. Only by developing both at the same time can we maintain a comprehensive and flawless system."

"But Mr. Alex, the spell samples you provided me are still a little insufficient. How about..."

"Okay, little guy, you can't chew too much. Digest it first. I'm going to repair my consciousness."

Feeling the spiritual sharing being cut off by Electrolux, Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly: "Is it too much to chew? But I still feel that what I have now is not enough."

Watching the mental power constantly changing and turning in his hands, Huo Yuhao only felt that there was a sharp sword named Tang San hanging over his head.

After all, the main storyline will begin soon, and I have to take this opportunity to contact the Body Sect. After all, I still don’t have much idea about the transformation of my martial soul.

Before the main storyline, there was the feat of Xuan Zi, the old bastard, who made a series of N kills and sent away the main force of Shrek. Although Huo Yuhao was confident that he could protect himself, the deterrent power of Xuan Zi, the 25th Douluo, was still too great. For the sake of safety, he had to be on guard.

Sitting cross-legged in meditation, Huo Yuhao summoned his spirit to possess him. Through mind sharing, he awakened Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, who was just asleep. "Brother Heavenly Dream, get up and work. Keep an eye on it for me."

'Huh? Oh, oh, I see!'

As the spiritual power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was slowly injected, Huo Yuhao’s second soul ring began to change, and its color continued to deepen.

However, the spirit ring patterns that were supposed to grow naturally based on the spirit ring's original spirit skills and enhance the original spirit skills changed under Huo Yuhao's control.

It began to evolve towards the soul skills that Huo Yuhao needed, one thousand years, two thousand years, three thousand years.

In addition to feeding this soul ring, the spiritual power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is also stabilizing and protecting Huo Yuhao's body, while isolating it from the aura related to the outside world to prevent anyone from discovering it.

As the age of the soul ring gradually increased, Huo Yuhao finally completed a series of guidance when the soul ring reached ten thousand years.

"Fifteen thousand years? The spiritual cannibalization is complete, but the next step is the most important. Brother Heavenly Dream, I leave it to you."

Huo Yuhao withdrew his spiritual power into the sea of ​​consciousness and no longer resisted or guided it. At the same time, the spiritual power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm also took over the soul ring.

Then the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm began to skillfully seal the soul ring for Huo Yuhao for a certain period of time.

Fourteen thousand years.

Thirteen thousand years.

Twelve thousand years.

The age of the soul ring continued to decrease, and finally returned to one thousand five hundred years.

"Yuhao, it's no good. You can't suppress it anymore. I feel that if you suppress it any further, the spirit ring structure you set up before can no longer be maintained." Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm said with some embarrassment.

"That's it, compression to this extent is enough." Huo Yuhao nodded and opened his eyes.

After all, this was the effect he needed. Looking at the purple soul ring under his feet, the patterns on it were much more gorgeous and complicated than at the beginning, and Huo Yuhao was very satisfied.

Although it has been compressed, the overall structure of the soul ring remains intact, but the soul power and mental power required to consume it are much higher than the initial mental suggestion. However, when Huo Yuhao really needs to use it, he will not lack this little soul power and mental power.
