After understanding Su Yu's thoughts, Kong Deming began to explain the knowledge of soul tools to him.

Su Yu grasped everything quickly and easily.

Kong Deming repeatedly felt he had struck gold.

"Your foundation is solid, but there are still some gaps. The types of soul tools you are familiar with are too limited."

Kong Deming handed Su Yu a storage soul tool ring.

"It contains the principles and blueprints for the production of first- and second-level soul tools. You need to master all of them within three months."

Back at the academy, Su Yu carefully examined the blueprints for soul tool production contained within the ring given to him by Kong Deming.

"No wonder he is the strongest soul master; the collection of first- and second-level soul tool production blueprints is truly extensive."

Three months—he might actually be able to complete this task!

Any other soul master would not have had this capability.

After successfully transferring to the soul tool department, Su Yu did not change dormitories, feeling it unnecessary. To his surprise, Qian Bu Duo also passed the assessment, having succeeded in the theoretical exam.

Since Su Yu didn't return to his dormitory, he had his own soul tool production room as a core disciple.

At this moment, even the tasks assigned by Kong Deming were considerable, and to ensure he could complete them without disrupting his normal martial soul training, he had to seize every moment.

Entering his private production room for the first time, Su Yu rearranged everything inside according to his own preferences.

In front of the workbench, he took out a carving knife.

The knife emitted a sharp, cold light, and its keen aura gave a stinging sensation even without soul power being activated.

This was a welcoming gift from Kong Deming.

Though not a ranking carving knife, it was certainly no ordinary item.

The blade was crafted from a thousand-year-old cold iron, and the handle was made from purple spirit gold, providing excellent soul power conductivity.

The entire carving knife was engraved with intricate patterns.

Even the enchantments inscribed on the outer shell surpassed the standard of a fifth-level soul tool!

This demonstrated just how precious this carving knife was.

This was an eighth-level soul tool, a spirit pattern engraver made by Kong Deming. Due to material limitations and the extensive and intricate enchantments inscribed within, there was only one of its kind in existence.

"This spirit pattern engraver embodies all of my life's work and is the most suitable carving knife for producing soul tools.

It contains an inscription memory array that can store your commonly used soul tool arrays, aiding in the guidance of soul power during the engraving of core arrays."

These were Kong Deming's exact words.

The ability to store core arrays was the greatest feature of this spirit pattern engraver.

Nearly half of the intricate core arrays were dedicated to achieving this functionality.

The complexity of the core arrays that the spirit pattern engraver could store could reach up to eighth level!

Any core patterns from eighth-level soul tools could be stored!

Even when used to create ninth-level soul tools, it could alleviate the engraving pressure of core arrays by 20%!

This was also why Kong Deming claimed this spirit pattern engraver was the best carving knife for soul tool production.

Su Yu attempted to activate the spirit pattern engraver.

The intricate patterns on the carving knife lit up, and as soul power circulated, Su Yu could feel the complex flow of soul power within.

After an hour of exploration, Su Yu had a preliminary understanding of this carving knife.

He activated the memory function of the knife and began recording the core array patterns he had mastered.

While the knife had a memory function, effectively utilizing it still required the user to master the arrays stored within the knife.

This was because when actually using the knife's ability to replicate array patterns, fine adjustments were still necessary; the template merely served as a starting point for modifications.

Another hour passed.

Only then did Su Yu truly begin using this carving knife to produce soul tools.

His treatment was even better than what Yang Chengyu had initially promised, as Kong Deming's influence had doubled Su Yu's benefits.

Every semester, he received a quota of two hundred kilograms of rare metals.

This was sufficient for him to practice making soul tools.

Within just ten minutes, Su Yu sorted through the blueprints for first-level soul tools and began crafting.

Every day, Su Yu diligently absorbed the purple energy from the horizon.

He used this energy to nourish and condense the character inscriptions, enhancing the flow of purple energy within the runes, and then utilized the extracted purple energy to practice the Purple Energy Soul Gathering Technique.

This was the most cost-effective training method he had discovered.

During the day, he focused on producing soul tools, while at night, he cultivated his soul power.

After crafting soul tools, he would also integrate the practice of the Purple Energy Soul Gathering Technique into his recovery period.

As for the development of new soul cultivation techniques and the refinement of his soul power training methods, he worked on those during his practice sessions.

Su Yu found each day to be exceptionally fulfilling.

Meanwhile, it seemed that Su Yu had inspired Xiaohong Chen, who immersed herself daily in improving her soul master skills.

Meng Hongchen would coincidentally run into Su Yu every day, engaging him in conversation on various topics.

Time passed quickly, and three months flew by in the blink of an eye.

"Bang!"

A shackle within his body shattered, and soul power surged forth.

Since absorbing the Explosive Sky Pepper and breaking through to the thirty-third level, this was Su Yu's second breakthrough.

His soul power had now reached thirty-five.

Without the experiences of the past five months, Su Yu would never have believed that the cultivation of soul power could be so straightforward.

His daily nutrient regimen accelerated his soul power training.

Occasionally, his teacher Kong Deming would provide him with pills that enhanced the speed of his soul power cultivation.

The entire soul power training felt like riding a rocket; in just six months, Su Yu had advanced two levels!

In fact, if calculated carefully, Su Yu had only entered the fastest soul power cultivation speed after becoming a disciple three months ago.

He broke through to the thirty-fourth level half a month after becoming a disciple.

This meant that he had only taken two and a half months to achieve another breakthrough.

"I've finally found the method to accelerate the refinement speed of my body tempering technique."

Discovering this method meant that Su Yu's body tempering technique became more efficient and could be considered a true martial art.

However, the effects were somewhat singular; it could only speed up the absorption and refinement of vital energy.

Nonetheless, this satisfied the primary function of a true martial art.

"Continue to refine the body tempering technique."

"And the meditation technique needs an upgrade as well."

After becoming Kong Deming's disciple, Su Yu had received the highest-level method for cultivating meditation techniques.

Compared to the intermediate meditation technique, the advanced version was slightly more complex.

It involved applying the martial soul to improve training efficiency.

Overall, the advanced meditation technique was one to two times more efficient than the intermediate version.

The advanced meditation technique Su Yu obtained was capable of improving cultivation efficiency by up to two times compared to the typical intermediate method!

Of course, the amount of soul power a soul master could increase each day was limited, so even with the advanced meditation technique, it merely shortened the time to reach that upper limit, allowing for more time to engage in other activities.

For example, refining soul power, researching soul tools, or practicing soul skills.

Gradually, these accumulated differences would lead to a growing disparity.

In three months, Su Yu perfectly completed the tasks assigned by Kong Deming.

Kong Deming had already informed him that there would be a reward upon completion of the tasks.

"What kind of reward will it be? The rewards my teacher can offer shouldn't be lacking," Su Yu thought to himself, filled with anticipation.
