Chapter 359 Time is up! Stop everything!
A sudden dizziness hit Han Yu's heart, and his body shook violently, almost falling down.
He subconsciously stretched out his right hand and grabbed the edge of the solid table. His knuckles turned white due to the force, and then he stabilized his shaky body.
Cold sweat slid down his forehead and soaked the broken hair at the temples.
Taking a deep breath, Han Yu tried to calm his disordered breathing, and his chest rose and fell violently.
He felt a strong sense of fatigue, as if his body was hollowed out. But he knew that it was not time to rest yet.
He gritted his teeth, and his left hand trembled as he picked up two core arrays flashing with complex patterns, and turned his eyes to the humanoid soul guide beside him that had basically taken shape.
"Nine--" Ye Yulin's voice was like a death warrant, knocking on Han Yu's tense nerves.
Han Yu forced himself to be alert and accurately embedded the two core arrays in his hand into the grooves on the chest of the soul guide.
"Eight--" The countdown sound relentlessly echoed in the competition venue.
Han Yu's fingers danced flexibly on the soul guide, like a skilled musician playing complex notes.
"Seven--"
Although Ye Yulin hoped that Han Yu could win in his heart, he had to maintain a fair and just position. The outcome of this game will directly affect the pattern of the three major underground forces.
"Six--"
Han Yu's movements were as fast as lightning, and every step was precise and correct, as if it had been tempered a thousand times. He used practical actions to prove how reasonable and efficient his humanoid soul guide design was.
"Five--"
In the short time it took to read out these few numbers, Han Yu had installed nine core arrays.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, but he didn't bother to wipe them off, and picked up the remaining nine core arrays and continued the final sprint.
"Four--"
As time passed, Han Yu's hand speed became faster and faster, as if it had turned into a series of afterimages.
"Time is up! Stop everything!" Ye Yulin's voice finally sounded, with a barely noticeable protracted tone.
"Crack!" Almost at the same moment when Ye Yulin's voice fell, Han Yu embedded the last core array into the chest of the soul guide, making a crisp sound.
After the game, Han Yu leaned weakly on the soul guide production table with both hands, gasping for breath.
His body trembled slightly, his face was pale, and sweat soaked his clothes.
The long-term high-intensity mental output made him feel extremely tired, and even his proud mental power showed signs of exhaustion.
For Han Yu, the three-hour game was a physical and mental torture.
In order to obtain the core array, he had to divide a part of his mental power, condense it into a spiritual body, and sneak into the heavily guarded underground warehouse.
This in itself is a very risky and costly move.
After returning to the competition venue, he entered the state of unity of body and mind without stopping, and devoted himself to the production of soul guides.
Although the state of unity of body and mind can greatly improve the production efficiency, it also consumes a lot of mental power.
From the beginning to the end of the game, Han Yu's mental power has been in a highly tense state, and he has never relaxed for a moment.
Such a huge mental power consumption, even if he has a mental power far beyond that of ordinary people, feels a little unbearable.
He feels that his mental power is like an oil lamp that is about to run out and may go out at any time.
Even with a powerful mental power realm that is invisible and intangible, it is a little shaky at this moment, as if it will collapse at any time.
A warm current rises from Dantian and slowly flows to the limbs and bones. Han Yu feels that the spiritual world is clear, as if he has climbed a peak and overlooked the vast world.
This sense of sublimation was firmly grasped by him. He knew that after this time, his mental power would definitely go to a higher level.
At the most tense moment of making the soul guide just now, he clearly felt the soul power in his body surging, as if he had broken through an invisible barrier and seemed to have been upgraded by one level.
The blood vessels in the lower limbs were blocked, the circulation of soul power was blocked, and cultivation was extremely difficult. He almost completely relied on absorbing the Yuan power of the extreme ice to improve his cultivation.
In this case, being able to improve by one level through his own practice is undoubtedly a huge surprise.
The improvement of his cultivation is also very beneficial to his absorption of the ultimate ice world energy, and the cycle is repeated to form a virtuous cycle.
However, at this moment, he still felt weak, as if his body was hollowed out.
He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. The soul power in his body began to operate, and the sea of spirit fluctuated with it. The rich spiritual power waves rippled, and his brain was clear, and the fatigue gradually subsided. He clenched his fists slightly, feeling the power in his body, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Finally, it was completed.
Ye Yulin in the spectator seat also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes were always fixed on Han Yu. Although there was no weapon equipment on this humanoid soul guide, it seemed a bit crude, but at least it was completed within the specified time, and there was no problem in entering the next stage.
The next skill assessment, judging from the ability that Han Yu had shown before, should not be a problem to pass. As for whether he can enter the top eight, it depends on his own ability.
Since he dared to make such a soul guide, he must have had some plan in mind, and perhaps some unexpected strategy.
Ye Yulin stood up, looked around the audience, and announced loudly: "Okay, everyone has finished making soul guides, and the production time is over.
From now on, you can only use the soul guide you made in the next game. Apart from this, you are not allowed to use any other soul guides. "Ye Yulin said in a deep voice.
The noisy arena gradually quieted down, and various voices intertwined, including praise for Han Yu's final work, and sighs of regret for his almost overtime.
Han Yu took a deep breath, trying to calm his violently beating heart, and turned a deaf ear to the outside world's discussions. He closed his eyes tightly and focused all his mind on restoring his mental strength. The fatigue came like a tide, but he had to recover as soon as possible to prepare for the next game.
Ye Yulin looked around, his eyes swept over each contestant, and finally stopped at Han Yu. He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Before the official competition begins, we need to test the soul guides made by everyone to ensure that all entries are qualified finished products.
Any unfinished or defective soul guide will be deemed unqualified, and its maker will be directly eliminated. "
As soon as Ye Yulin finished speaking, the six referees beside him showed strange expressions on their faces, and their mouths twitched at the same time.
They exchanged glances with each other, and seemed to be puzzled by Ye Yulin's sudden decision.
This newly added testing link was obviously to buy rest time for Han Yu, and the favoritism was too obvious.
Most of the other contestants had completed their works and used the fifteen minutes to restore their mental strength. At this moment, they all looked energetic.
Only Han Yu, because he finished the production at the last minute, his face was pale and tired, which formed a sharp contrast with other contestants.
According to the rules of the competition, the quality of the soul guide will be tested in subsequent competitions. If there are problems, they will naturally be exposed in the competition and affect the final results. Therefore, it is superfluous to conduct additional testing before the start of the competition.
Everyone present knew the intention of Ye Yulin's move, which was nothing more than giving Han Yu more time to restore his mental strength.
Offstage , the leaders of the three underground forces also looked at each other, they were puzzled by Ye Yulin's actions. Although this request seemed to be nothing wrong, it also seemed a bit abrupt.
However, they knew that Ye Yulin was a Starry Sky Douluo and a Level Nine Soul Master, and they dared not offend this powerful person easily.
They could only helplessly watch Ye Yulin lead the referee team seriously to check each contestant's soul guide one by one.
The inspection process was extremely meticulous, and even required each contestant to inject soul power into his soul guide to ensure that it could function normally.
Ye Yulin led the referee team, circled around again and again, and finally walked in front of Han Yu.
His steps were slow and steady, as if every step had been carefully calculated. His eyes swept over other contestants and finally stopped at Han Yu.
He deliberately slowed down his pace, walked to Han Yu's side, and asked in a gentle tone with a hint of imperceptible concern: "Han Yu, is your soul guide finished? "
Han Yu was thoughtful. Ever since Ye Yulin had intentionally delayed the countdown, he had sensed that the chief referee seemed to be helping him in secret.
At first, he suspected that Ye Yulin might have accepted bribes from the Xishui League. After all, it was not uncommon for such a big competition to have a secret operation.
But with the sudden and highly targeted inspection items, he realized that things were not so simple, and there seemed to be something else going on.
If the Xishui League had bribed the chief referee, he would not have shown it so obviously. After all, such blatant favoritism could easily arouse doubts from other contestants and the audience.
Could it be that... this Starry Sky Douluo was attracted by my talent? This thought flashed through Han Yu's mind. He subconsciously looked at the humanoid soul guide beside him, and immediately confirmed his guess in his heart.
"Hello, chief referee, I have finished it."
Han Yu replied respectfully, with a hint of humility in his tone, "My soul guide is made normally and can be used. "
Although he didn't think he could have any intersection with this high and mighty Star Douluo, he should be respectful when he was being nice to him. This was basic courtesy.
In Ye Yulin's eyes, Han Yu was getting more and more pleasing to the eye. This was the legendary love at first sight. Seeing his respectful and modest appearance, he was even more satisfied.
He nodded repeatedly, his praise was beyond words: "Good, good! Young man, not bad."
After a pause, he seemed to remember something, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, "If I'm not mistaken, you just used some parts to put in your humanoid soul guide, right? Moreover, it was assembled as the main device."
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked with a hint of inquiry: "Do you think these parts can replace the core array? Has your humanoid soul guide reached the level of being able to fight directly? "
It is not the right time to ask for details during the competition, but this Starry Sky Douluo was like a possessed man, completely attracted by Han Yu's soul guide, and couldn't help wanting to know more.
Han Yu said: "I think the parts can replace the core array to some extent.
After all, the core array has higher requirements for rare metals, and the cost of obtaining and the difficulty of refining are far higher than ordinary metals. The source of materials for parts is more extensive and easier to mass produce.
In addition, the production process of the core array is extremely complicated, requiring experienced soul guides to spend a lot of time and energy, and the slightest carelessness will lead to failure.
In contrast, the production process of parts is more standardized and modular, and even inexperienced craftsmen can complete it in a short time.
More importantly, the core array itself has unstable factors, which are easily affected by the external environment and fail, or even cause danger.
The structure of the parts is relatively simple and stable, and the reliability is higher. Therefore, I think some simple devices can completely use parts to replace the core array to achieve the same function. Not only is it easy to make and the cost is lower, but it is also more reliable and durable.
Of course, to achieve performance comparable to that of the core array, the precision of the parts is crucial, which requires us to conduct repeated experiments and improvements. "
"Well, your idea does make some sense. Then you can demonstrate your humanoid soul guide now, and let us see its effect with our own eyes. "
"As you wish. "Han Yu nodded respectfully and agreed, and then began his demonstration.
Ye Yulin asked with concern: "Do you need our help? "As he spoke, he pointed to the various soul guide tools placed beside him, indicating that he could provide assistance at any time.
Han Yu smiled and shook his head, indicating that he could do it independently. He raised his hand skillfully, pressed the surface of the humanoid soul guide a few times, and activated the opening device.
Suddenly, there was a slight mechanical sound, and the metal plate on the chest of the soul guide began to slowly crack to both sides, like a blooming petal, revealing the delicate internal structure.
At the same time, the outer shell of the leg also unfolded, completely presenting the entire internal space in front of everyone.
Observing this humanoid soul guide up close, Ye Yulin couldn't help but I was impressed by its exquisite design and structure.
The craftsmanship of this soul guide itself is very high. Every part is polished to be extremely smooth, and the connection between each part is seamless.
The internal layout is even more reasonable and compact. After the various parts and components are combined together, the surface is very flat, without any bulges or depressions, ensuring the comfort of the user inside.
Ye Yulin noticed that the internal space is much larger than he imagined, enough to accommodate an adult to move freely, and the position of each support point has also been carefully designed to reduce the user's physical burden to the greatest extent. (End of this chapter)
