Chapter 38

He Caitou said with a gloomy face, "Still no good."

Fan Yu and Zhou Yi had already walked over. Zhou Yi's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but Fan Yu seemed to have thought of something and asked Huo Yuhao, "Huo Yuhao, how far is the range of your mental detection?"

Huo Yuhao replied, "About thirty meters in diameter."

Fan Yu suddenly understood, "I see, no wonder. After all, this is just a ten-year soul ring skill. It's already quite impressive that it can detect so finely within a certain distance. We can't ask for too much. It's just a bit of a pity."

Huo Yuhao suddenly said, "Teacher Fan Yu, my mental detection sharing will improve its detection range as my soul power increases."

Fan Yu was taken aback, "That's impossible. How can a soul skill evolve?"

Huo Yuhao, however, said seriously, "It really can. From the time I acquired this skill until now, the detection range has increased by one meter in diameter. Moreover, I still can't fully control this skill. Perhaps, in the future, I can make its range smaller but the distance longer."

Zhou Yi had brought him here, and during their subsequent conversation, Huo Yuhao had keenly realized that this might be an opportunity for him, even though he wasn't sure what kind of opportunity it was. Nevertheless, he spoke with the intention of not letting this opportunity slip away.

Fan Yu looked at Zhou Yi, who nodded slightly at him.

Fan Yu said, "Alright, if one day your mental detection sharing can reach over a hundred meters in one direction, come find me. I'll teach you how to make soul conductors."

"Yes, thank you, teacher," Huo Yuhao hurriedly bowed respectfully.

Fan Yu waved his hand and said, "He Caitou, take him to the side and explain what a fixed soul conductor is."

"Sure thing," He Caitou, who had a very good impression of Huo Yuhao, beckoned him over and walked to the side.

Watching their gradually receding figures, Fan Yu asked Zhou Yi, "What do you think of this child? His skill is indeed very strong. His role in a team is undeniable. Am I setting the bar too high for him? However, to make his skill work with a fixed soul conductor, he needs at least a hundred meters of range. I can say that if one day his mental detection sharing can reach a straight thousand meters, he will be the most terrifying support-type soul master on the continent."

Zhou Yi replied, "I've only just met this child, so I can't say much yet. However, you should have noticed that although his cultivation is not strong and his physique is relatively weak, his mental maturity is greater than that of his peers. Other students might not have said what he did just now. I'll keep an eye on him for you. However, if he fails the first-year assessment, I will still expel him. Rules must be upheld."

Fan Yu thought for a moment and said, "Observe him more for me. Even if he fails the assessment in the soul power department, as long as his mental detection sharing skill continues to improve, I can specially recruit him into the soul conductor department. I have been dedicated to the research of fixed soul conductors for over a decade, combining the wisdom of my predecessors, and finally developed this most terrifying soul conductor. What I lack now is a user!"

Zhou Yi sighed lightly and said, "Don't be too fixated. You should understand that besides the lack of users, the extremely high cost of fixed soul conductors is also a fatal flaw. They are destined not to be widely used."

Fan Yu said proudly, "Soul conductors are originally powerful weapons that only a few particularly outstanding soul masters can use. I never intended to promote fixed soul conductors among soul masters. As long as a very few soul masters can use them, fixed soul conductors will become the true trump card of our academy."

"He Caitou, what is a fixed soul conductor?" Huo Yuhao asked He Caitou with curiosity.

He Caitou chuckled and said, "There are many types of soul conductors, and it's hard to explain them all at once. Mainly, they are divided into close-range soul conductors and long-range soul conductors. Close-range soul conductors are similar to the weapons we usually use. After being activated by soul power, they unleash greater strength. Relatively speaking, within a certain range, close-range soul conductors are more powerful. Long-range soul conductors, on the other hand, are soul conductors that launch long-range attacks through the injection of soul power. The more powerful the soul conductor, the more soul power it requires. In other words, the higher a soul master's cultivation, the higher the grade of soul conductor they can use."

"Fixed soul conductors, on the other hand, are a special type of soul conductor developed by teachers through the summary of predecessors' wisdom. They are used for long-range attacks but do not require much soul power to be injected. You saw the process I used just now. Simply put, the soul conductor and the attack weapon are divided into two parts. The soul conductor only serves to launch and detonate. The fixed soul conductor cannon I used just now launched the cannonball. The greatest advantage of fixed soul conductors is that they consume very little soul power and do not require too powerful cultivation to use. However, their drawback is that they are difficult to aim, especially at moving targets, which are particularly hard to hit. But for fixed targets, their power is very strong. However, the production of cannonballs is very complicated and requires many precious materials. Teachers usually don't let me fire them casually. Teachers say that theoretically, a fixed soul conductor can increase a soul master's attack power by ten times. However, the power of fixed soul conductors also has its limits, as it is ultimately constrained by materials. Therefore, they are destined to be equipped by only a very few suitable soul masters."

He Caitou's explanation was not particularly brilliant or clear, but it finally opened the door to soul conductors for Huo Yuhao, giving him a preliminary understanding. He vaguely understood that Teacher Fan Yu must have achieved great success in the field of soul conductors. Teacher Xiaoya had said that he would learn soul conductor production in the future, and becoming a disciple of Teacher Fan Yu would clearly be the best choice.

"Huo Yuhao, let's go," Zhou Yi's voice came at this moment.

Huo Yuhao said to He Caitou, "He Caitou, I'll go first. It was nice meeting you."

He Caitou chuckled and said, "You're a first-year student this year, right? Work hard. It would be great if you could become my junior brother in the future. Teachers usually don't let me leave here, it's too boring."

Leaving the soul conductor test area, Zhou Yi led Huo Yuhao back to the dormitory. "Huo Yuhao, you heard what Teacher Fan Yu said. I can only tell you that he is the top soul conductor maker in our academy. If you can become his disciple, your future is boundless. However, you need to stay in the academy first. Go have dinner."

Watching Zhou Yi leave, Huo Yuhao walked straight to the cafeteria. At this time, students from other classes had also finished their classes, and the cafeteria entrance was bustling with people.
