Su Yu's gaze fell upon a middle-aged man. He was about 1.8 meters tall, with broad shoulders, wearing simple cloth clothes, his thick, muscular arms exposed, revealing muscles like granite. His face is sharply defined, the gaze that he give is deep and heavy. Just standing there, he gave off a sense of imposing presence.
This man was Fan Yu, the head of the Soul Guidance Department, and also Zhou Yi's husband.
"Hello, Teacher Fan Yu, I am Teacher Zhou's student, and I hope to join the Soul Guidance Department in the future."
Su Yu spoke directly, which aroused Fan Yu's interest. "I rarely see students actively coming to my Soul Guidance Department, let alone wanting to join. 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 of the Soul Guidance Department, understood the role 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 possess that make you qualified to join the Soul Guidance Department?" Fan Yu's meaning was simple: if Su Yu lacked strength or aptitude, it wouldn't matter where he went; the Soul Guidance Department wasn't open to just anyone.
"My martial soul is a mirror, my first soul skill is Mirror Reflection, which can copy all of an opponent's movements. I'm a level 20 control-type battle soul master, and I haven't obtained my second soul ring yet."
Su Yu directly displayed his martial soul and strength. Aptitude is useful everywhere, and with his strength, if he wanted to control his own destiny, he would inevitably need the help of soul guidance technology, unless he could obtain the inheritance of a god…
"Cai Tou, come over here and let him try. See if he can copy your movements. Go and install a soul guidance cannonball for me." Fan Yu beckoned, and a person walked towards Su Yu from a distance.
Judging from his face, he was about the same age as Bei Bei, only two or three years older than Su Yu. He was extremely tall, over two meters tall, and Su Yu, looking at himself and Wang Dong, who were just little kids, fell into deep thought.
Wang Dong, who was standing nearby, had long since disappeared. Wang Dong had an instinctive aversion to soul tools, which was understandable; as the daughter of the first Tang Sect leader in the original story, she naturally had an affinity for hidden weapons.
However, she was extremely averse to soul tools in the original work. Although Su Yu didn't know why, he guessed it was most likely that work of the father of him (her), Tang San.
He Caitou was shirtless, revealing his dark muscles, and his head was completely bald. It was hard to imagine that after the massacre of his entire family, He Caitou could still hide so well. If it weren't for Huo Yuhao, He Caitou would probably be a key candidate for the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan.
He Caitou had also spoken with Huo Yuhao, hoping Huo Yuhao could help him destroy the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire. However, Huo Yuhao ultimately failed to do so, and it was a pity that He Caitou's hopes were dashed. But in the end, this blood feud of annihilation was actually redeemed in the original work, allowing He Caitou to let go. Just how many relics must one have burned to write such a plot?
Su Yu could only say, "Stand back, don't 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 in no time. He placed the cannon in front of He Caitou and said, "Brother He, I think my assembly is correct, right?"
He Caitou's real name was Xu He. He was a very easy-going person, but his personality and appearance made him somewhat aloof. If Xu He was indeed the main candidate for the Extreme Individual Soldier Project, could 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 has always been very friendly to him, Su Yu was very clear about one thing: he don't have the protagonist's halo like Yuhao, and he has to fight for everything himself.
"Young man, you really have a lot of talent in soul-guided devices." Looking at the soul-guided cannon that Su Yu had assembled, He Caitou was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that after a young man with a Spirit Eye Martial Soul had come recently, another young man with even better aptitude had arrived.
"Let me see if you can imitate someone else's movements when operating a soul tool. Cai Tou, go shoot at a moving target and see how much your shot deviates from his,"
Fan Yu pointed to the distant testing area and continued, clearly also weighing whether Su Yu had the ability.
Reaching the edge of the testing area, He Cai Tou patted his dark belt, and with a flash of light, a black metal tube about a meter long, with a cross-sectional diameter of about fifteen centimeters, slightly larger at the tail than the front, and engraved with many strange patterns, appeared in He Cai Tou's hand.
Looking at the familiar object, Su Yu remembered something: a 150mm caliber recoilless gun (I dare not write the rest)...
He Cai Tou skillfully held it in his hand, pressed twice on the back of the metal tube with his right hand, and a cap immediately appeared, revealing a notch about twenty centimeters long and ten centimeters wide.
He swiftly patted his waist with his left hand, and a shuttle-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 previously unassuming He Caitou's demeanor change drastically the moment the metal tube is on his shoulder. Watching He Caitou's movements, Su Yu could guess that the next move would be anything but simple; otherwise, He Caitou wouldn't be demonstrating it before his eyes.
"Su Yu, you try it too," He Caitou's voice rang out, followed by aiming at the moving target that was about to appear.
Su Yu's spirit ring rose from his feet, a yellow, hundred-year spirit ring appearing, along with a mirror. The mirror reflected the rapidly moving disc.
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 a little to the left before launching."
At the same time, a strong surge of soul power erupted from He Caitou's body, three soul rings—two yellow and one purple—appearing simultaneously. The metal tube on his shoulder trembled slightly, a thick black aura flowing around its edge.
He Caitou's body also rotated slightly, the metal tube pointing precisely at the high-speed disc.
Following Su Yu's instructions, He Caitou deliberately shifted a little to the left.
"Boom!" A violent roar resounded, and a dazzling black light burst forth from the metal tube. The sudden surge of air currents almost made Su Yu lose his balance.
Bang!!
A shattering sound rang out again, the flying disc being smashed into countless fragments. He Caitou stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the shattered disc, while Fan Yu looked at He Caitou with some confusion.
"Huh? What happened? It actually 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 non-living beings?"
"That's right. Compared to living beings, the movement trajectories of non-living beings are easier to replicate, so naturally I can predict the position of the disc through replication." Su Yu nodded. His first soul skill seemed rather useless, but once Su Yu had an offensive soul skill, he would definitely be able to find a corresponding countermeasure if his opponent made any move!
What seemed useless, if used well, could potentially surpass Huo Yuhao's mental detection!
Fan Yu suddenly realized, "In other words, your soul skill seems to be a replication, but it can also predict the opponent's actions, and even copy 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 try, but I can't guarantee a 100% replication, but I will do my best!" Hearing Fan Yu's words, Su Yu knew that his demonstrated abilities were definitely enough to enter the Soul Guidance Department, but to obtain the opportunity 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 poor, use precision strikes and tactical infiltration. When rich, use overwhelming firepower—bomb them all!" He thought, "If my martial soul can create mirror clones, then everyone will have a level ten soul-guided individual missile. Come on, don't even mention Limit Douluo, I can shoot down even the gods in the heavens!"
With that, Fan Yu led Su Yu to another location and called He Caitou over again, instructing him to begin crafting a simple level one soul tool. This was a rudimentary propulsion device, but its effectiveness was pitifully small. Fan Yu believed that anything too difficult, especially for a novice like Su Yu who had never worked with soul tools, would be impossible.
The propulsion device itself wasn't too complicated to make, but some subtle aspects gave Su Yu a headache. Replicating movements was one issue, but whether Su Yu's body could support the movements was another.
These two things cannot be confused. If they were, then this soul skill couldn't 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 incredibly impressive for a novice like him. However, this wasn't due to talent, but rather to Su Yu's first soul skill:
Mirror Reflection!
