Chapter 137: Soul Programming

Inside the Sea God Pavilion, the atmosphere was solemn as an abyss.

Erqing Douluo gazed at Cai Yue'er with cold eyes, "Do you know your mistake?"

"……"

Cai Yue'er did not answer, merely standing quietly in place, her long white hair falling to her shoulders, her gaze slightly lowered, revealing no emotion.

Inside the Sea God Pavilion, the air seemed frozen, only the golden tree leaves drifting outside the window rustled softly.

Erqing Douluo gazed at her, a trace of complex fluctuation flashing through his deep eyes. He slowly rose, his tall figure casting a faint shadow in the light halo.

"You spoke disrespectfully, displeasing six Titled Douluo, and nearly sparked a conflict between the two great powers……"

When Cai Yue'er heard about displeasing six Titled Douluo, her expression changed, her originally calm gaze instantly sharp as a sword.

"Six Titled Douluo? The Spirit Pagoda is indeed making a grand show; is this a joint effort to pressure us?"

Yun Ming frowned tightly, his tone heavy: "Watch your attitude!"

Cai Yue'er had a blank expression, "I am the one being lectured, and the Academy is the one giving compensation; can't I even say a word? Are we really afraid of them?"

A trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but seeing that Cai Yue'er's injuries on her body had not fully recovered, Yun Ming ultimately just sighed.

"Effective today, you are confined to the Academy; without permission, you may not step out half a step."

Cai Yue'er abruptly raised her head, her soul power rising like a storm, but it dissipated on its own in a moment.

"Hah——"

Cai Yue'er laughed in extreme anger, "So in the eyes of the continent's number one person, a turtle shrinking its head is the right path!"

As her voice fell, she flicked her sleeve and turned around, her silver hair drawing a sharp arc of light.

Amidst the loud bang of the Sea God Pavilion's great doors closing, only Yun Ming's barely audible sigh remained.

"Zhuo Shi, you go hand the soul bone over to the Spirit Pagoda."

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

……

"Things are finally settled; lately life has been truly exciting, even having to face the pressure of a Super Douluo."

In the spectator stands, Xie Xie glanced at the Spirit Competition below and sighed: "But being able to see an extreme move was worth it."

"It's just that your mouth is too lethal; otherwise why would it come to that?"

Zhang Yangzi rolled his eyes and looked toward Huo Yuhao at his side: "Yuhao, our match is over; when are we returning to the East Sea?"

"Wu Lin's side needs some time; we'll leave after he finishes."

Huo Yuhao explained in a sentence, watching the Spirit Competition below with a strange expression.

On the arena, two ten-year-old children commanded spirit souls to fight, but……

"Go, Ice Worm! Use Ice Sand."

"Go, Gray Rabbit! Ram."

On the arena, the Ice Worm slowly wriggled once, spitting out a small patch of ice mist, barely counting as "Ice Sand." Meanwhile, the gray rabbit spirit soul on the other side ignored the ice mist, suddenly leaped, and rammed toward the Ice Worm.

"Bang!"

The Ice Worm was knocked into a somersault, rolled two circles, then slowly stood up again, looking as if it hadn't woken up.

Zhang Yangzi had a strange expression: "The Ice Worm's body is so limp it can't even manage the simplest ram; it's on the list of weakest spirit souls. Doesn't that child know? At this rate, they'll be eliminated in the first round."

Xie Xie's mouth corner twitched, and he somewhat wanted to laugh.

"……Big Brother, your First Spirit Soul seems to be an Ice Worm, right? Is it really that weak?"

Hearing this, Gu Yue Na beside Huo Yuhao curled her lips slightly, and her eyes also held a smile.

Huo Yuhao: "……"

The small Ice Worm and Tianmeng Ice Worm in the Spiritual Sea were furious.

"Yuhao, let Brother out! Brother wants to show them what a real Ice Worm is!"

Ice Worm: "Emperor is mighty! Make the Ice Worm Clan great again!"

Huo Yuhao sighed with a complex expression.

I knew I shouldn't have come to watch.

Forget it, let's practice the second soul skill.

In Gu Yue Na's sight, four soul rings appeared around Huo Yuhao, and he directly used Interference Domain, concealing the scene here and covering her as well.

Afterward, Huo Yuhao's second soul ring lit up.

One by one, points of starlight radiance appeared around Huo Yuhao; with a dim fluctuation flashing past, several small Hun Ling Fu Dao Pao Tai appeared around Huo Yuhao in the blink of an eye.

Gu Yue Na blinked, somewhat amazed.

It wasn't because of the soul skill itself; after all, she had seen this soul skill before, she was just surprised by Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Control.

She is a Mecha Designer; she saw those Hun Ling Fu Dao Pao Tai very clearly, in terms of design they are all Fourth-Rank Soul Tools, very exquisite, and each different.

Now Huo Yuhao used two soul skills while distracted, and still made such exquisite, each different Hun Ling Fu Dao Pao Tai; how did he do it?

No matter how strong Spiritual Control is, surely it can't reach this level?

This is dozens of times more valuable than her controlling multiple elements at once.

Moreover, every soul tool requires drawing a Soul Guide Array; Yuhao usually needs a certain amount of time to make one soul tool, so why is it so fast now using Spiritual Power?

Thinking here, Gu Yue Na frowned, recalling something.

In the past, when Huo Yuhao devoted himself wholeheartedly to soul tool making in class, he could use a domain to cover his actions; thinking about it now, it's not right.

Suppressing her desire to ask, after Huo Yuhao withdrew his soul skill, Gu Yue Na approached him and asked curiously: "Yuhao, how did you do it?"

"……"

Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yue Na with a somewhat complex gaze; although he had long guessed it, discovering she really didn't know still left him somewhat sighing.

How to put it, gods have a kind of numerical beauty, but not one of them thought about fine manipulation.

Huo Yuhao explained: "Take Divine Sense as an example. Divine Sense can launch attacks, store memories, and even function as an independent thread solving various problems without affecting the person's own thinking. And if a God Yuan Realm expert wishes, they can separate out a great many Divine Senses. Then why not separate out these Divine Senses and have them help you share the burden of Spiritual Control, each thread solving one small problem — what would happen?"

Gu Yue Na looked towards Huo Yuhao blankly, her expression dazed and cute.

Huh, it can still be done like this?

"It's just that simple a principle. Moreover, from my experience, you don't need to reach the God Yuan Realm, nor do you need Spiritual Power to possess thinking ability. You only need to let a portion of Spiritual Power possess the ability to perform fixed, repetitive operations, turning it into a factory assembly line form, and you can raise your Spiritual Control many times over. As the essence of Spiritual Power rises, the more assembly lines manufactured, the more Spiritual Control will keep rising."

"I call this technique Soul Programming. Want to learn?"

This is Huo Yuhao's gradual development and utilization of Spiritual Power after experiencing the mysteries of the God Yuan Realm.

With those Spiritual Power assembly lines, he only needs to input Spiritual Power, and the functions operate on their own, naturally saving worry and effort. Using his Second Soul Skill to rapidly shape Soul Tools becomes even easier, after all the corresponding Soul Tool manufacturing process has already been simulated to completion in the Spiritual Sea, merely using the soul skill to make it rapidly take form outside.

Foolproof operation — how could it not be fast?

Using it to release soul skills is even simpler, after all soul skills are just programs one by one; Spiritual Power only needs to play the role of activation.

Gu Yue Na heard this and silently nodded.

First was Forging, then Spiritual Control. One feels her understanding of her own capabilities and potential isn't as much as Yuhao's; she needs the other party to help her develop them.

Just like having no actual combat experience, is her control over her own power a bit too poor?
