Elder Yi marveled at the wonders of the Douluo rules.
"Any existence on the Douluo Continent has the hope of awakening its spirituality, thereby transforming into a Soul Beast!"
"Transform into a Soul Beast?"
Su Yu caught a hint of inspiration.
Elder Yi continued, "Yes, transform into a Soul Beast."
"If the Spiritualization Technique you mentioned succeeds, it essentially means inducing rare metals into becoming Soul Beasts.
However, even if the spirit of rare metals is awakened, they cannot cultivate, nor do they have passive cultivation abilities.
They are not even comparable to Plant-type Soul Beasts.
Yet, after the spirit of rare metals is awakened, you can completely regard this spiritually transformed rare metal as a Soul Beast.
By completing a contract with it in a special way, it has the hope of fusing with a Soul Master."
Su Yu widened his eyes.
Elder Yi's explanation made a lot of sense to him.
Spirit Forging means becoming a Soul Beast?
Soul Forging means increasing the years of a Soul Beast?
And Celestial Forging seems to involve going through a Celestial Tribulation, so does that mean forging rare metals into Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts...
Hiss~
Su Yu took a deep breath in shock.
If that's the case, as long as the Spiritualization Technique is researched and the means to increase the age of a Soul Ring are found, does that mean the research into Celestial Forge and Soul Forge is simultaneously accomplished?
"Elder Yi, can you summarize the Spiritualization Technique?"
Elder Yi stroked his beard.
He was very satisfied with the findings of the research and was amazed by the rules of the Douluo Plane.
The great world is full of wonders.
The Douluo is like this, so what about other planes?
There must be other planes in existence.
What is their cultivation system?
How are their plane rules?
"The Spiritualization Technique itself is not difficult, but the outlining of this array is not that easy at all."
The difficulty of this array will be beyond imagination.
According to the complexity of arrays corresponding to the levels of Soul-guiding Devices, it's at least Seventh-level.
Su Yu has fully mastered making Fifth-level Soul-guiding Devices, digested their theories, and has also studied the theories of Sixth-level devices, currently in the digestion phase, with a glimpse into Seventh-level theories.
But surely, he cannot learn this Spiritualization Technique yet.
Su Yu was in no hurry.
"In that case, I'll trouble Elder Yi.
If the Spiritualization Technique can't be mastered now, I'll first perfect other technological aspects of the Intermediate Battle Armor."
The linkage of Soul Rings is also a research topic.
Su Yu, exploring over the past half-month, began to get a feel for it.
"Boom!"
Su Yu felt an earth-shattering tremor.
"The mentor has made a move."
As before, Kong Deming prepared for a long time, waited for more than half a month, and finally found the opportunity to launch an attack.
The sounds of several Ninth-level Soul-guided Cannons echoed, the fluctuations spreading across a large part of the Evil Demon Forest.
The intense spiritual fluctuations, even at an unknown distance away, Su Yu could vaguely sense them.
After being defeated, the Evil Eye could transform into a Crystal Stone, and taking the Crystal Stone theoretically allows it to be brought out of the Evil Demon Forest and thoroughly slain, absorbing its Soul Ring.
However, the means to shatter the Crystal Stone are almost nonexistent.
Even the Sun and Moon Royal Family, who are fairly knowledgeable about the Evil Eye Race, are helpless.
Especially the Hundred-Thousand-Year-Level Evil Eye Tyrant, if not instant-killed, and its life isn't completely ended before transforming into a Crystal Stone, one can only wait for the Crystal Stone to disperse with the wind.
And this process will take decades.
Along this journey, one must always be on guard against the Evil Eye Tyrant's counterattack.
Having absorbed past experiences, Kong Deming knew that to hunt the Evil Eye Tyrant, it must be wiped out before it can transform into a Crystal Stone.
Instant Kill.
Having the ice or fire mixed-attribute Evil Eye Tyrant, its ability to transform into a Crystal Stone is correspondingly somewhat affected, which is why he was able to succeed.
A large number of Ninth-level Soul-guided Shells were fired, severely injuring the Fire Evil Tyrant, and Kong Deming's Spiritual Power instantly surged.
"Divine"!
The rune took effect, and the spiritual power seemed to be stimulated, suddenly becoming twice as strong.
This "Divine" rune, apart from the "Condense" rune and the "Yang" rune, is Kong Deming's unique mastery, and truly specialized rune.
His spiritual power erupted with intense interference.
Silver Moon Martial Soul's Ninth Soul Skill, Mental Paralysis Ray!
The Fire Evil Tyrant was swept by it, even though it was an ability from its same race, it couldn't be immune.
Instantly, his spiritual power became bewildered, and his heavily injured body, still hesitating whether to transform into a Crystal Stone, was now void of consciousness.
"Boom!"
Nine long rods arranged around Kong Deming's body, energy interlinked and circulated, and terrifying Soul Power condensed into energy beams.
Nine Extremes Aurora!
Boom!
The body of the Fire Evil Tyrant exploded completely.
In its fuzzy consciousness, after its body shattered, the unconscious spirit body tried to gather into a Crystal Stone.
Of course, this process was much slower.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Psychic Shock!"
The originally equally matched spiritual level, now with the Fire Evil Tyrant in an unprecedentedly weakened state, left Kong Deming entirely in a position to crush it.
With Psychic Shock, the Fire Evil Tyrant's soul was utterly annihilated.
Kong Deming then activated a Ninth-Level Soul-guided Protective Shield, enveloping the Fire Evil Tyrant's corpse and protecting the Soul Ring within.
The Soul-guided Protective Shield also has the effect of isolating aura.
After notifying Su Yu, he fully activated his Ninth-level Purple Gold Wings, moving as fast as lightning.
Su Yu, upon receiving notification, halted all research, packed everything up, and waited for his mentor.
In two minutes, Kong Deming crossed the inner and outer parts of the Evil Demon Forest, reaching the seaside where Su Yu was, picking up Su Yu, and returned to the site of the Fire Evil Tyrant's demise in just three minutes.
"Quick!"
Time was of the essence.
The Fire Evil Tyrant's death wouldn't immediately alert the Evil Emperor.
The recent battle's fluctuations might entirely be mistaken by other Evil Eye Tyrants as the Fire Evil Tyrant having conflicts with other Soul Beasts.
This was quite common within the Soul Beast Forest.
Before its death, the Fire Evil Tyrant was unable to emit any spiritual fluctuation to alert other Evil Eye Tyrants, which was a relief to Kong Deming.
"Mentor, do you need to recover?"
"No, just absorb it directly. You can provide Life Force during the absorption, and recover meanwhile."
"Alright!"
Kong Deming then arranged five Ninth-level Soul-guided Cannons around.
"Each with one round of firing capacity, if any reckless ones approach and don't heed warnings, just activate them."
The Ninth-level Soul-guided Cannons were set by Kong Deming in a state ready to fire; as long as Su Yu pressed the switch, they would draw from their vast soul power reservoir to complete the firing.
Su Yu connected his Spiritual Power to the five Soul-guided Cannons, ensuring he could adjust the barrel direction with his Spiritual Power to aim, which reassured him.
All set, Kong Deming began absorbing the Soul Ring.
The blood-red Soul Ring wrapped around him.
Round after round of Soul Rings emerged from Kong Deming's body, four black and one red making up the five Soul Rings, in addition to the unrefined outermost blood-red Soul Ring.
A vast amount of Soul Power burst from the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, surging into Kong Deming's body.
Su Yu activated the Blade of Living Beings, injecting Life Force.
