Chapter 97

Two days later, Xiao Yu returned to the Mars North Pole Region, took off the Golden Eye Mask, and began cultivation.

"This primordial soul is truly wonderful; I, a soul life, actually cannot cultivate." Wu said.

Wu had long acknowledged Xiao Yu as his master, considered the person or thing he trusted most.

Even allowing it to remain in a person's most precious Sea of Knowledge, naturally there would be no guard against cultivation.

Xiao Yu's allocation of cultivation time was still scientific; each day he would spend eight hours comprehending laws, four hours studying various lightning, space, and time secret techniques, four hours cultivating warrior secret techniques, and another eight hours cultivating soul secret techniques.

Twenty-four hours a day, almost all spent on cultivation; even rest was entering the Virtual Universe to read books, drink tea, and study secret techniques.

Two years later, a black-clad figure sat cross-legged in the frozen region of the Mars North Pole.

This person was Xiao Yu.

Five months prior, after Xiao Yu condensed a hundred primordial cores in his Sea of Knowledge, he began attempting to arrange these hundred cores in a certain shape and sequence.

Since two years ago, after he completed the first primordial core in his Sea of Knowledge, the speed of constructing primordial cores has continually increased.

In the first month, he completed one primordial core.

In the second month, he completed two primordial cores.

……

In the thirteenth month, he completed four primordial cores.

……

In the nineteenth month, he completed the construction of the last four primordial cores.

Over the following five months, he continually attempted how to better connect these cores.

Within the primordial soul there are dozens of connection schemes, but the book also said that each person's soul is unique, so the standard scheme may not yield maximum effectiveness.

Even the lowest-standard scheme can increase soul strength and speed by a thousandfold.

Over the past half year, Xiao Yu has halted all other cultivation, spending twenty-four hours a day on this matter, testing no fewer than thousands upon thousands of schemes.

He tried all the standard schemes; the best among them only boosted strength to three thousandfold, far below the theoretical effect.

"Failure! Failure!"

"Still failure!"

This is the result of his attempts during this period; the worst failure saw one of the cores explode due to a careless operation during connection, taking nearly half a month to recover and reconstruct the core.

During this period, before and after nearly every test, he repeatedly checked whether each core's construction was correct.

Within his Sea of Knowledge, these hundred cores were evenly arranged around Xiao Yu's soul crystal, each different, constructed using nearly three hundred secret patterns in various ways.

Repeated failures were not without benefit.

First, his understanding of these cores deepened; he even grasped the meaning of one or two secret patterns, which exist almost in every core.

He also had some speculation about the function of these two secret patterns.

Second, the base strength of his soul consciousness increased to sixtyfold.

"Xiao Yu, according to the record of the First Layer of Primordial Soul, the perfect connection of these hundred cores can increase soul strength and speed a hundred thousandfold." Wu said.

After another failure, Xiao Yu paused, continually analyzing the cause of previous failures—whether it was a timing issue or a sequence issue.

Having endured thousands upon thousands of prior failures, Xiao Yu now, even if he fails, will not injure himself, nor will the cores suffer damage.

"Next time, I will surely succeed." Xiao Yu said confidently.

After so many failures, he finally managed to link ninety-nine cores before failing; he also understood the cause: the sequence of linking the final core with the others was off by one.

"Come on." Xiao Yu let out a low call,

Re-entering the meditative state, he swiftly followed prior experience, using soul power to build channels connecting each core, core to core, and core to Xiao Yu's soul core crystal.

Some cores cannot be connected to each other, while some cores cannot be directly attached to the crystal.

Soon, Xiao Yu completed the connection of ninety-nine cores.

The connection of the final core was also nearly half done, reaching the position where the sequence had previously been wrong.

"Success or failure hangs in this single move!"

After a slight hesitation, Xiao Yu, according to the previously set plan, continued, carefully meaning to connect the 100th core to the 78th core.

The entire system remained intact, without collapse, but the speed of soul power operation grew ever faster, and Xiao Yu felt a hint of heaviness.

Only the last two remained.

According to his expectation, this final core needed to be connected to the other seventy-eight cores, and finally linked to his soul core crystal, only then could it become a standard system.

Subsequently, Xiao Yu connected the 88th core, encountering no problem.

The 99th core, no problem.

Finally, it was the connection to the soul crystal; Xiao Yu took a deep breath and carefully connected it.

Instantly, the nine-layer polyhedral cube formed by the hundred cores and the soul core crystal seemed to come alive, continually trembling, generating ripples in the Sea of Knowledge space, and he also felt his soul rotation speed increase by thousands offold; what previously required half an hour of consideration now could be understood in an instant.

The core layer of this complex three-dimensional structure formed by the cores consists of two intersecting Mitsubishi Prisms, with Xiao Yu's soul protected inside.

As the layers increase, the structure becomes ever more complex.

At this moment, the completed foundation of the primordial soul trembled ever more intensely, while continually spinning, generating ripples that grew stronger and reached the edge-located Wu Island.

Meanwhile, outside the nine layers of cores, layer after layer of illusory shadows continually emerged; counting carefully, one would find that including the previous nine layers, there are a total of 10,081 layers.

Pff!

Wu spat out a mouthful of exceedingly pure soul power, "Wow, I never expected this secret technique to be so formidable; merely the vibration actually injured me."

Subsequently, Wu spat out another mouthful of soul power.

The soul power Wu spat out was not wasted; rather, it was absorbed by the rotating soul core.

Subsequently, the tenth layer gradually became somewhat clearer, though still blurry.

"Sorry, I just succeeded in cultivation; for the time being I cannot yet gather my aura." Xiao Yu said softly, "I feel that this model currently can increase soul strength and speed five thousandfold. Once these illusory shadows become solid, the increase will be even greater."

"Your Sea of Knowledge, I cannot stay here for now." Wu said softly, and then left Xiao Yu's Sea of Knowledge space, entering the latest model Smart Light Brain on his left wrist guard.
