Chapter 30 The Test of the Feather
Su Yu focused his gaze on a middle-aged man. He was about 1.8 meters tall, with very broad shoulders. He wore simple cloth clothes, and his thick, muscular arms were exposed, revealing muscles as hard as granite.
His face was sharply defined, and his gaze was deep and serious. Just standing there, he gave people a sense of towering presence, like a mountain.
This person is Fan Yu, the head of the Soul Guidance Department, and also Zhou Yi's husband.
"Hello, Teacher Fanyu. I am Teacher Zhou's student, and I hope to join the Soul Guidance Department in the future."
Su Yu's direct question piqued Fan Yu's interest: "I rarely see students actively seeking out my Soul Guidance Department, let alone wanting to join. So, tell me, why do you want to join the Soul Guidance Department?"
"I believe that the future development of Douluo Continent will inevitably be inseparable from Soul Guidance Technology, and the Soul Guidance Technology of the Sun Moon Empire is enough to influence the development of Douluo Continent!"
Su Yu didn't beat around the bush. In fact, compared to Shrek Academy, Fan Yu, as a teacher in the Soul Guidance Department, understood the function of Soul Guidance Devices better than anyone else.
"Since you've come with Zhou Yi's token, I'd like to know what abilities you have that make you think you can join the Soul Guidance Department?" Fan Yu's meaning was actually very simple: if Su Yu didn't have any strength or aptitude, it would be the same no matter where he went; the Soul Guidance Department wasn't a place anyone could join.
"My martial soul is a mirror. My first soul skill, Mirror Image, can replicate all of my opponent's movements. I am a level 20 control-type battle soul master, and I have not yet obtained my second soul ring."
Su Yu directly displayed his martial spirit and strength. Talent is useful no matter where it is. With his strength, if he wants to control his own destiny, he will inevitably need the help of soul guidance technology, unless he can obtain the inheritance of a god...
"Caitou, come over here and let him try. See if he can replicate your movements. Go and install a soul-guided cannon shell for me." Fan Yu waved his hand, and a person walked towards Su Yu from a distance.
Judging from his face, he was about the same age as Beibei, only two or three years older than Su Yu. He was extremely tall, and looking at his huge frame that was already over two meters tall, Su Yu looked at himself and Wang Dong, who were just little kids, and fell into deep thought.
Wang Dong, who was standing to the side, had long since disappeared. Wang Dong had an instinctive aversion to soul tools, which was quite normal. As the daughter of the first Tang Sect Master in the original work, she naturally had an inextricable connection with hidden weapons.
However, Wang Dong was extremely averse to soul tools in the original work. Although he didn't know why, Su Yu guessed that it was most likely Tang San's doing.
He Caitou was shirtless, revealing his dark muscles. His head was completely bald. It was hard to imagine that after the massacre of his entire family, He Caitou could still hide himself so well. If it weren't for Huo Yuhao, He Caitou would probably be the main candidate for the Extreme Individual Soldier Project.
He Caitou had talked to Huo Yuhao before, hoping that Huo Yuhao could help him destroy the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire. However, Huo Yuhao failed to do so in the end, and it was a pity that He Caitou's hopes were dashed. But in the end, this blood feud of annihilation was actually redeemed and He Caitou was able to let go in the original work. How many relics must one have burned to write such a plot?
Su Yu could only say, "Stand back, or you'll get all my relics on you!"
He Caitou picked up a bunch of parts and quickly assembled a simple soul-guided cannonball. This simple soul-guided cannonball was actually similar in principle to a bomb, except that the power of the cannonball came from the use of soul power and metal.
He Caitou's movements were incredibly simple in Su Yu's eyes. Su Yu assembled a simple soul-guided cannon shell in no time. He placed the soul-guided cannon shell in front of He Caitou and said, "Brother He, I don't think I assembled it wrong, right?"
He Caitou's real name is Xu He. He is a very easy person to get along with, but his personality and appearance make him somewhat aloof. If Xu He is indeed the main candidate for the Extreme Individual Soldier Project, then will Xu He really be the future emperor of the Sun Moon Empire?
Of course, speculation is just speculation, and nothing should be taken seriously.
Although He Caitou had always been very friendly to him, Su Yu was very clear about one thing: he didn't have the protagonist's halo like Huo Gua, and he had to fight for everything himself.
"Young man, you really have a lot of talent when it comes to soul tools." Looking at the soul-guided cannonball that Su Yu assembled, He Caitou was a little surprised. He didn't expect that after a while, a young man with a spirit eye martial soul came, and now another young man with even better aptitude has come.
"Let me see if you can imitate other people's actions in operating soul tools. Cai Tou, go and shoot at a moving target. Let's see how much difference there is between his shot and yours."
Fan Yu pointed to the field in the distance and continued, clearly weighing whether Su Yu actually had the ability.
Upon reaching the edge of the testing ground, He Caitou patted his dark belt at his waist. With a flash of light, a black metal tube about one meter long, with a cross-sectional diameter of about fifteen centimeters and a slightly larger tail than the front, appeared in He Caitou's hand. It was covered with many strange patterns.
Looking at that familiar thing, something came to Su Yu's mind: 150mm caliber recoilless rifle (I dare not write the rest)...
He Caitou skillfully held it in his hand, pressed the metal tube twice with his right hand, and a cap immediately popped out, revealing a notch about 20 centimeters long and 10 centimeters wide.
He swiftly patted his waist with his left hand, and a spindle-shaped piece of metal appeared in his grasp. He carefully placed the metal into the notch exposed by the open cap of the metal tube, then closed the cap. With a flick of his right hand, the metal tube rested on his broad shoulder.
The moment He Caitou, who had previously given off a very honest and simple impression, drastically changed his demeanor the instant the metal pipe was hoisted onto his shoulder. Judging from He Caitou's movements, Su Yu could guess that the next shot would be anything but simple; otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed He Caitou to demonstrate it right before his eyes.
"Su Yu, why don't you give it a try?" He Caitou's voice rang out, and then he aimed at the target that was about to move.
Su Yu's spirit ring rose from his feet, a yellow hundred-year spirit ring appeared, and a mirror also appeared. The mirror surface was revealed, and the high-speed moving disc appeared in the mirror.
A disc popped out from a distant corner, moving rapidly through the air. Just as He Caitou was about to launch it, Su Yu said, "Brother He, shift it a little to the left before launching."
At the same time, a strong surge of soul power erupted from He Caitou's body, and three soul rings—two yellow and one purple—appeared simultaneously. The metal tube on its shoulder trembled slightly, and a thick black halo flowed around the edge of the metal tube.
He Caitou's body was also rotating slightly, and the metal tube was pointing to the high-speed flying disc.
Following Su Yu's instructions, He Caitou deliberately veered slightly to the left.
"Boom!" A loud roar rang out, and a dazzling black light burst out from inside the metal tube. The sudden appearance of the huge airflow almost made Su Yu lose his balance.
boom!
Another cracking sound rang out, and the flying disc was smashed into countless fragments. He Caitou stared wide-eyed in surprise at the shattered disc, while Fan Yu looked at He Caitou with some confusion.
"Huh? What happened? How did it hit?" He Caitou looked at Su Yu with some confusion.
Fan Yu walked over and looked at Su Yu, saying, "Su Yu, can your first soul skill also mimic the movements of inanimate objects?"
"That's right. Compared to living beings, the movement trajectory of non-living beings is easier to replicate, so naturally I can predict the position of the disc by replicating it." Su Yu nodded. It seems that his first soul skill is too useless, but once Su Yu has an offensive soul skill, he will definitely be able to find a corresponding way to deal with any move his opponent makes!
What may seem like a useless tool could potentially surpass Huo Yuhao's mental detection if used properly!
Fan Yu suddenly realized, "So, your soul skill seems to be a replication, and it can also predict the opponent's actions, even copying their movements. If your soul skill can also replicate the creation process of a soul tool, then I will allow you to join the Soul Guidance Department!"
"I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee a 100% perfect replica. I'll do my best!" Listening to Fan Yu's words, Su Yu knew that the abilities he had shown were definitely enough to get into the Soul Guidance Department. However, to get the chance to become a core disciple, he would need to participate in the upcoming final competition!
Su Yu entered the Soul Guidance Department with the aim of studying in the Sun Moon Empire in the future.
As the saying goes, when all else fails, strike with precision and employ tactical maneuvers.
If you're rich, then unleash your firepower! Bomb me!
If my martial soul can create mirror clones, then everyone will have a level 10 soul-guided single-soldier missile. Come on, don't even mention Limit Douluo, I can shoot down the gods in the sky for you!
As he spoke, Fan Yu led Su Yu to another place and called He Caitou over again, asking him to start making a simple level one soul tool. This was a simplified propulsion device, but its effectiveness was pitifully small. After all, it was a simplified version, and Fan Yu thought that anything too difficult would be impossible for a novice like Su Yu who had never been exposed to soul tools.
The propulsion system wasn't that complicated to make, but there were some subtle aspects that gave Su Yu a headache. Replicating the movements was one thing, but whether Su Yu's body could support him in making those movements was another.
These two things cannot be confused. If they were, then this soul skill could not possibly appear on a 300-year-old Mirror Beast; it would probably be 10,000 years old...
After several attempts, Su Yu finally produced a flawed product, which was an extremely terrifying achievement for a novice like Su Yu. However, this was not due to talent, but rather to Su Yu's first soul skill.
