Douluo Peerless: Eye of Truth

Chapter 26 Level 3 Soul Power Circuit: Refraction

Today is the last class of this semester. After this class, the students of Shrek Academy will also have their vacation.

Zhou Yi and Wang Yan were both in the classroom during this class, and when all the students saw Zhou Yi's old face, they restrained their distracted thoughts that had been brewing due to the upcoming holiday.

Zhou Yi glanced coldly at everyone present. Because there was no Huo Yuhao to cause a fuss, Zhou Yi did not inexplicably expel several core students from the class just to establish his authority.

Then Zhou Yi snorted coldly, walked to the back of the classroom, and sat down on an empty chair.

Then Wang Yan walked up to the podium, smiled slightly, and said, "Students, today is the last day of the first grade, and the college has not assigned any teaching tasks, so I will not waste your time anymore."

"I'll just briefly talk about the arrangements after the holiday, and then everyone can go back and pack up and prepare to go home."

All the students were very excited upon hearing this, but they did not dare to show it too much because of Zhou Yi who was sitting at the back of the classroom.

Then Wang Yan continued, first praising and complimenting a group of students, and after comforting them a little, he changed the subject and started to knock.

"But students, please do not relax just because you are on vacation. Unlike other semesters with final exams at the end of the school year, we at Shrek Academy do not have final exams."

"Instead, there will be an entrance exam. In order to test whether you can become a qualified second-year student in the next school year, you will need to work harder during the holidays than in school."

"Otherwise, next school year, maybe I won't see one of you when we're in class together."

"Of course, I like every student in our class, and I know how hard you work, so I hope that next school year, when we have formal classes, no one will be missing."

Huo Yuhao curled his lips speechlessly. What else is there to work hard for during the holidays?

Except for those students who have inherent advantages, the support of powerful forces behind them, or inheritance, after leaving Shrek Academy and returning home, the improvement of the strength of most civilian students will definitely slow down.

Although I don't have to attend classes and have more time to cultivate my soul power, I am definitely not as good as the academy in terms of other resources and help.

But it is different for those students with backgrounds. After returning home, they naturally have plenty of resources to enjoy. Their elders, fathers, and brothers will naturally not be stingy with resources and will continue to cultivate or train them.

So in fact, Wang Yan's words were only used to enlighten those students with weaker family backgrounds.

Without making rapid progress, at least you should improve yourself as much as possible during the holidays. Otherwise, once the second grade starts, you will most likely not be able to keep up with the progress of the new semester.

"Okay, I'm going to talk about some key points of the upgrade assessment, and you all need to remember them well."

"The first is that all students' soul power must reach level 20. This is a hard requirement, and they must be level 20 great soul masters with two soul rings."

"If you don't have two spirit rings by the time of the upgrade assessment, I suggest you don't come next school year."

"Because no matter how good your performance is, the second ring cultivation requirement is the benchmark rule set by the academy. If you can't reach it, no one can help you."

"So in the next month, those students whose spirit power has not reached level 20 will have to work hard, and you must also obtain the second spirit ring."

"Having the second ring of cultivation is the stepping stone to enter the upgrade assessment."

"Based on past exam experience, in our class, the exam for promotion from first grade to second grade will most likely require students to challenge a random soul beast with at least a hundred years of cultivation under the supervision of a teacher."

"That's why this is an important test of the students' personal strength. Although there is no single way to do it, in the exams for first-year students to second-year students in previous years, at least 70% of them were beast fighting tests."

"Most of the others also replaced fighting with challenging the invigilators or seniors."

"But without exception, these assessments require that you do it alone. You cannot rely on the power of a team, and you must rely on your own strength."

"Of course, our academy will not allow students to fall into danger. When an accident occurs during the battle, the invigilator will come to the rescue. You can rest assured."

"But this also means the end of the assessment, so unless it is absolutely necessary, I hope everyone will seize every opportunity in the battle."

"So for the students who are not good enough at cultivation, this holiday is short on time and has a heavy workload. In addition to working hard on your soul power and second soul ring, you'd better not fall behind in actual combat experience."

"The above is all the content of the personal upgrade assessment."

"Next, I want to talk about the class upgrade assessment, because each of our classes is a whole. If the whole cannot be upgraded and only individual students are upgraded, what is the point?"

"So in addition to the most basic upgrade assessment, we will select three to seven students from our class to participate in a special assessment."

"The completion rate of this assessment will be counted separately in the upgrade assessment. If the completion rate is good, it can even help upgrade students who performed slightly worse in the actual combat assessment, which is a big plus."

"But at the same time, if the completion rate of the class assessment is not good, the difficulty of the individual upgrade assessment will skyrocket."

"Let me give you a most intuitive example. If the class assessment task is passed perfectly, then all students in the class, regardless of their actual combat performance, can enter the second year of study."

"But if you only get 10% of the score in the class assessment, then it means that only the top 10% of students in the individual upgrade assessment will be eligible to enter the second grade."

Wang Yan said with a smile that made everyone feel like they were struck by thunder.

"What a stupid assessment mechanism." Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel speechless. He didn't know who came up with this assessment mechanism on the spur of the moment.

Can such a mechanism really screen out outstanding students?

If the class assessment pass rate is too low, it means that the several outstanding students selected are not strong enough, which is indeed a reflection of the poor progress of the entire class.

But what kind of crazy setting is it that if the class assessment is passed perfectly, then all students' individual assessments will be passed regardless of their actual combat performance? The Seven Gods are leading a group of people into a trap, right?

"Okay, I've said everything I wanted to say. get out of class is over. Everyone go back and pack your things." Wang Yan waved his hand and announced the end of get out of class.

However, although the news of the assessment mode was a bit sudden, most people were happy when they thought about it carefully.  

Because in their opinion, the strength of Class 1 is absolutely unquestionable, with Dai Huabin, who possesses the martial soul fusion skill and is also a soul master, and Zhu Lu, the great soul master and the Netherworld Spirit Cat.

As well as Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao, who formed the strongest team in the freshman assessment, plus the sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo who also possessed the spirit fusion skill, and the powerful Wu Feng.

Their abilities have been obvious to all in the previous freshman assessments. Regardless of whether three or seven people are selected to participate in the assessment, their class believes that they can definitely do their best, so there is naturally no need to worry too much.

When the class was over, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, who were the class monitors, were kept by Zhou Yi and given a few private instructions, both about returning to school as soon as possible and some matters related to the second semester.

"If I leave tomorrow, will you miss me?" At night, in the dormitory, looking at the ceiling, Wang Dong suddenly asked Huo Yuhao on a whim.

Huo Yuhao gave Wang Dong a middle finger, then turned over and fell asleep: "Go to bed early. It's only a month. Just take care of yourself."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's expression, Wang Dong sighed and didn't say anything more. He turned off the lights and prepared to rest.

Huo Yuhao entered his own sea of ​​consciousness and poked the small gray ball that was sleeping quietly in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Old Man, Old Man, don't sleep, is that guy really okay?"

"You've asked me this several times in the past few months. Haven't you observed it yourself?" Alex's old voice echoed in the sea of ​​​​spirituality.

Although there were still not many opportunities to attack, as long as Alex did not attack, it would be no problem for him to simply chat with Huo Yuhao.

"I have also used your eyes to see before. The rune in the little guy's spiritual sea has no ability to interfere with the outside world."

"The only ones that can be affected are those that have been marked by it, or the little guy himself."

"As long as you don't actively connect and exchange your body, spirit, or power with that little fellow, you will naturally not trigger the divine consciousness hidden in that rune."

"For some unknown reason, the master of that divine consciousness should be at a high level, but his use of divine consciousness is very crude, so he sealed many of the divine consciousness' abilities and put it into a deep sleep."

"So even I, without your eyes, would not have noticed that there was such a person related to the gods hiding beside you."

It's easy to solve. I just need to find a chance to remove the rune without disturbing its seal. However, I don't have the ability to do so at the moment."

"If I want to use the strength of this body of yours, you must at least be equivalent to a seventh-level expert in this world to truly unleash some of my power. At that time, I will be able to help you remove this rune or seal it completely."

Huo Yuhao sighed: "That's a long time ago. Elder Yi, is there no other way?"

"The power of the big bug is not your power after all. Although his power is indeed sufficient, your body cannot withstand such a powerful impact."

"Although I can use the power of the big bug to seal or remove that spiritual consciousness, but as a transit station, the damage to your body is irreversible."

"Unless you are able to possess physical strength or vitality far beyond your current level, leaving it alone may be the best option."

"As for other methods, I can't think of them right now. Once my consciousness is fully restored and more of my memory is recovered, there may be other solutions."

Huo Yuhao nodded and was no longer prepared to dwell on this matter.

But he also had other things to do tonight, which was to modify the soul power circuit in his body. He was about to go out to hunt souls. Although there was a teacher from Shrek Academy leading the team, Huo Yuhao was still not at ease.

Although he has two trump cards in his body, Alex and Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, it is best not to expose them unless necessary. It would be best if he could overcome them on his own.

"Defense-type soul power circuits are not good. If I just fight head-on, I will be at a disadvantage with my current soul power and physical fitness."

"If you want to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, you should choose some soul skills that are more inclined to dodge to form a soul power circuit."

"But if you also need to consider some countermeasures to area damage and impact, then this is it."

Now Huo Yuhao's physical fitness has improved a lot compared to before, and can also carry more soul power circuits.

Compared to before, when it could only support four first-level soul power circuits, or two second-level soul power circuits at most, Huo Yuhao's body has now improved to the level that can support the operation of a third-level soul power circuit.

A third-level soul power circuit must be made up of at least three second-level soul power circuits closely connected together. At present, with Huo Yuhao's maximum carrying capacity, he can choose to use at most ten first-level soul power circuits to construct a more advanced third-level soul power circuit.

'Cover, connect, cushion, deflect, absorb, transform, release, maintain, stabilize, conceal.'

Huo Yuhao began to piece together and combine the structures of all the first-level soul power circuits in the soul skills and soul guide core formations that he had observed and analyzed in the past year that met the above properties.

By consuming a large amount of mental energy, Huo Yuhao deduced their optimal combination plan in his sea of ​​​​consciousness, so as to fully manifest the soul power circuit in his conception.

Second level soul power circuit soul armor.

It is composed of the release, coverage and maintenance of the first-level soul power circuit.

It can release soul power from the acupoints and cover the body surface to transform into armor plates with defensive effects. The effect is average and lasts for a long time.

Because it is released through various acupoints throughout the body, there are some tiny gaps between them.

The secondary soul power circuit deflection
is composed of the buffering, connection, and deflection in the primary soul power circuit. It buffers the force received by itself through the control of soul power, causing it to deflect and shift, thereby reducing the damage received.

The second-level soul power circuit, Shadow Escape,
is composed of the absorption, transformation, stabilization, and concealment of the first-level soul power circuit. It can absorb soul power to stabilize its existence, while concealing its own breath and form to a certain extent.

After these three second-level soul power circuits were combined with each other, they formed the third-level soul power circuit - Refraction in front of Huo Yuhao. It was also the soul skill that Huo Yuhao prepared to use to protect himself when hunting souls.
