"Senior brother, I heard from the Hall Master earlier that you had some results, did you make another breakthrough a few days ago?"
Su Yu was surprised by his luck.
Spending a few days in the research institute, he actually encountered another surprise.
"Oh, the Hall Master mentioned that we analyzed and classified the basic bone pattern elements from your Soul Bone.
I collaborated with Old Yuan and the others, intending to construct a basic element system within the bone patterns."
Listening to Xuan Ziweng's description, Su Yu roughly understood their achievements.
Unlike the core array and runes, bone patterns are the skeletal lines within the Soul Bone.
Studying bone patterns is also to temper the bones and enhance the physique of human Soul Masters.
To achieve the goal that even without absorbing a Soul Bone, one can still have similar attributes.
Thus, the energy circuit of the bone patterns must be different from normal runes.
It can be seen as a more regular system within the runes.
The condensation of the Soul Bone is naturally based on the type of Soul Beast and the Soul Skills it masters.
These patterns are also purely natural.
It can be said to be the most natural evolution of the Soul Beast's abilities and its Soul Skills.
Xuan Ziweng decomposed these evolved patterns and summarized the most basic elements within them.
A single Soul Bone cannot naturally summarize all the basic elements.
However, without a doubt, they already had preliminary results.
At the same time, they applied for a batch of funds from the Hall Master Mirror Hongchen of Mingde Hall to carry out research on other Soul Bones.
The new research discovery of Xuan Ziweng, however, belonged to his personal research project.
Old Yuan and other researchers in the Soul Bone soul-guiding technology line did not participate, it was purely Xuan Ziweng's Bone Tempering and Soul Nourishing plan.
"By refining the bones, improve physical fitness and maximize feedback to spiritual power!"
Su Yu's eyes brightened.
Has there been a major breakthrough in this project?
Xuan Ziweng, full of interest, explained his basic research ideas to Su Yu and then handed over the results to him.
"This is the technique I have explored, which can maximize the feedback degree to spiritual power as the body becomes stronger."
...
Leaving Xuan Ziweng's research lab, Su Yu was satisfied.
The two achievements this time, the first achievement meant that the research on bone patterns would enter a rapid development stage.
The latter achievement, however, greatly helped Su Yu himself at present.
He handed over the few pieces of top-grade Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bones he obtained in the Land of the Far North to Xuan Ziweng.
This is considered his second batch of Soul Bone investment.
Upon receiving this batch of Soul Bones, Old Yuan and the others salivated on the spot.
The three pieces of top-grade ice attribute Soul Bones, not only well-preserved, but even the Soul Skills contained within are top grade.
Not to mention Old Yuan and the others, even Xuan Ziweng was curious about how Su Yu obtained these Soul Bones.
Su Yu did not answer.
He couldn't possibly say it was the reward for helping the Snow Empress cultivate, could he?
...
This time returning to Mingdu, Su Yu planned to first craft his advanced battle armor.
He already was a Soul Saint, although the intermediate battle armor is most suitable at this level, theoretically, he could also use advanced battle armor at this level.
And the spirituality within the metals used for his battle armor had long been nurtured by him to the point of being able to inscribe advanced battle armor patterns.
Before going out to travel, Su Yu had reached the level of an eighth-level Soul Guide, and over these past six months, he had basically designed the core array for his advanced battle armor.
This time returning to Mingdu, he—
"Hmm..."
Su Yu realized he was out of money.
Since arriving at the Sun and Moon Empire, he spent the first two months with the initial investment of one thousand Golden Soul Coins from Qian Tong, and since then, he hadn't been short of money nor thought about making money.
But now, when he needed to make his advanced battle armor, he found that he might not have enough money.
Although he was making it based on the current battle armor, during the process, Su Yu still needed to add new rare metals to the battle armor, blending into a higher-grade alloy to meet more needs.
What to do without money?
Find a teacher.
Just as Su Yu was about to act, Elder Ma found him.
"Su Yu, the Hall Master is looking for you."
"Okay."
Mirror Hongchen is looking for me? What's the matter?
With a curious heart, Su Yu came to Mirror Hongchen's office.
"Xiaoyu, I remember you mentioned last time that you needed Soul Bones, right?"
Su Yu nodded.
Before leaving Mingdu, he had discussed with Mirror Hongchen that the research on bone patterns needed the support of Soul Bones, and if Shrek sent someone to redeem Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu, it could be exchanged with Soul Bones.
"What, Hall Master, is Qian Duoduo still at our Mingde Hall?"
Su Yu was also surprised.
After all this time, Qian Duoduo had been detained in Mingde Hall for at least a year. Did they finally recall this Soul Guide System dean?
"Hall Master, why did you call me?"
Su Yu still didn't understand why Mirror Hongchen called him.
"Oh, nothing, just to confirm if you still need Soul Bones. Shrek is coming this afternoon to discuss the terms for redeeming Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu," said Mirror Hongchen.
Su Yu also detected a trace of sarcasm in Mirror Hongchen's tone.
Their requirements were about to change, yet Shrek only then thought of redeeming their Soul Guide System dean.
When you have needs, we give you a chance; when there are no needs, who even cares about you?
However, Shrek is just so procrastinating.
"What has Shrek been doing over this year?" Su Yu frowned and asked.
To ignore their own department head for over a year, is this really reasonable?
Su Yu thought Shrek probably underwent some reforms during this time.
