Douluo Continent: The Eternal Dawn

Chapter 48 The Concept of Humanoid Soul Guidance Devices
After the initial shock, Fan Yu walked up to one of the Shadow Knights and began to examine him closely.

The humanoid puppets created by Ye Xixuan were actually quite crudely made, lacking refinement in many details. Even the weapons they held were merely ordinary weapons condensed using his first soul skill, not soul tools.

After all, with his current soul power and mental strength, it was simply impossible for him to create hundreds of melee soul tools in such a short time. Unless the required core magic array was inscribed in advance and then manufactured based on it.

Even so, Ye Xixuan's display of skill still greatly shocked Fan Yu. It completely overturned his previous understanding.

“Teacher Fan Yu, I control these humanoid shadow puppets using my ability to attach external soul bones. The transparent spatial attribute spider silk shot from the tips of the Heavenly Spider Claws is between solid and illusory, allowing it to hide in the void and, through the refraction of spatial nodes, finally attach to the joints of the puppet's core. The spider silk can conduct soul power, meaning that if these shadow puppets are holding soul tools, they can activate them entirely with the help of my soul power.” Ye Xixuan explained to Fan Yu while controlling one of the humanoid shadow puppets to step forward.

As the humanoid puppet moved, the armor on its body collided with each other, producing a dull, heavy sound.

Ye Xixuan's right fingertip suddenly flicked upwards, and countless intricate and beautiful patterns instantly appeared on the black greatsword held by the Shadow Puppet, which were clearly core magic arrays.

With the infusion of soul power, the greatsword's pitch-black blade was instantly enveloped in a sharp and profound halo.

The shadow puppet raised its greatsword high, then swung it down with a fierce slash. The sword's edge seemed to tear through space, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Driven by the flow of qi, the entire laboratory began to tremble slightly.

Fan Yu's pupils contracted, then she turned around and looked intently at Ye Xixuan, asking anxiously, "How many humanoid shadow puppets like these can you control at most right now?"

“Controlling them to perform simple actions isn’t too difficult; it tests one’s mental focus more on controlling distractions. But to achieve more precise and subtle control, my current level of mental strength is indeed lacking,” Ye Xixuan replied seriously.

"However, as my soul power cultivation improves in the future, these will not be a problem. The key issue is the consumption of soul power. If I spend so much soul power to create these humanoid shadow puppets and melee soul tools, and then have to use my mental power to control them, the final effect may not even be as good as my own combat power. This would be too much of a loss. Unless I can inscribe suitable core arrays on these humanoid shadow puppets to reduce the consumption of soul power and amplify the power of the soul tools."

"A humanoid soul tool..." This concept first appeared in Fan Yu's mind, which coincided with the Sun Moon Empire's most confidential research direction.

This is also why Ye Xixuan had He Caitou call Fan Yu over today. Although there is an insurmountable gap between the soul guidance technology of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms and the Sun Moon Empire, and it is unrealistic to catch up in a short period of time, at least we cannot restrict them in our thinking.

After a moment of contemplation, Fan Yu's eyes suddenly became intense again.

"I must report these matters to Dean Xian and Dean Qian immediately. The idea of ​​a humanoid soul tool may completely overturn the entire soul tool industry!"

"How do you know that the Sun Moon Empire hasn't researched humanoid soul tools?" Ye Xixuan immediately poured cold water on Fan Yu's idea, which was the effect of a fixed mindset.

Upon hearing Ye Xixuan's words, Fan Yu finally calmed down and spoke to Ye Xixuan sincerely.

"In any case, I hope Dean Xian and Dean Qian will request a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion to discuss this matter and persuade the Sea God Pavilion to agree to your cooperation with our Soul Guidance Department's research. After all, this is an opportunity that cannot be missed for the academy and even for our original Douluo Three Kingdoms." "Teacher Fan Yu, cooperating with the Soul Guidance Department's research is no problem, but I will definitely still focus on Martial Soul cultivation." Ye Xixuan did not hide his inner thoughts at all, and his words were extremely straightforward.

"Given the Sun Moon Empire's foundation in soul guidance technology, how long do you think it would take for us, the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, to catch up? But with my cultivation talent, I am confident that I can become a powerful figure in this world within twenty years, capable of influencing the continent's landscape."

"Alas, our Soul Guidance Department is not blessed with this."

Fan Yu and Ye Xixuan looked at each other in silence for a long time, and the thousand words in their hearts finally turned into a sigh.

Their Soul Guidance Department's Extreme Individual Soldier Plan is a complete paradox. Students with average martial soul talent are simply not capable of supporting the completion of this plan, while how could the Martial Soul Department easily release someone with exceptional martial soul talent like Ye Xixuan?

Even the two deans of their Soul Guidance Department, despite their formidable strength, are still inferior in absolute power to Yan Shaozhe, the original dean of the Spirit Department. How can this be convincing?
"Teacher Fanyu, that's all for today."

Ye Xixuan politely gestured to Teacher Fanyu, and as he turned to leave, he didn't forget to say goodbye to He Caitou.

"Brother He, I'm leaving now."

"Oh, oh." He Caitou finally came to his senses and waved to Ye Xixuan with a simple and honest smile. His shock was no less than Fan Yu's; Ye Xixuan's words had directly hit the most core secret of the Sun Moon Empire.

Back when he was still the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire, the empire had already begun researching humanoid soul tools. So many years have passed, and no one knows the exact extent to which the Sun Moon Empire's humanoid soul tools have developed.

After leaving the Soul Guidance Department, Ye Xixuan headed straight for the Martial Soul Department teaching building on the south side of Shrek Square along the lakeside path.

The Foreign Languages ​​Department is going on holiday again starting today, and this holiday also marks the point in time when the original plot of the story began in his memories of his past life.

Tang Ya's soul power cultivation had recently broken through to level 30, and Ye Xixuan planned to take this opportunity to take her to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for soul rings and obtain soul rings.

With his current strength, even ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts might not pose a threat to him. Hunting a suitable thousand-year-old soul beast for Tang Ya in the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest is almost risk-free.

However, as he got closer to the teaching building for the Martial Soul Department, a thought suddenly popped into his mind, and his expression became somewhat strange.

"Did I somehow get Bei's script this time?"

　There's definitely no way the protagonist will create anything overpowered beforehand. The main focus will still be on showing off with their martial spirit. I'm sure the protagonist will handle showing off and building a harem well enough. ┗|｀O′|┛Aww~~. Everyone, quickly give us some recommendation tickets and monthly tickets, let's go for it!
