Chapter 152 Do you want to flatten the students into pancakes?
The inner courtyard of Canaan College, a high ground with a wide view.
Huo Yuhao's divine sense clone stood in mid-air, scanning the well-arranged buildings and the iconic Heavenly Flame Refining Tower below.
An invisible divine consciousness was enveloping the entire inner courtyard, observing the energy flow of this environment.
Within the spiritual world, Huo Yuhao's spiritual projection, the consciousness of the Guardian Mirror, and the "free-range chicken" version of the Ice Flame Phoenix were unusually "sitting" together.
At their center, suspended in the air, is a miniature model of the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy, constructed with divine thought. Inside the model, there are even human models walking around.
The Guardian Mirror picked up a twig from the ground and carefully poked the model of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, its tone tinged with worry: "I say, Huo boy, you're juggling refining weapons while simultaneously setting up a large-scale spirit-gathering array, really—"
"Is everything alright?"
Having become accustomed to Huo Yuhao's repeated actions, it didn't question Huo Yuhao's ability to concentrate.
Its concern is that for Huo Yuhao now, neither the spirit-gathering array of the Great Thousand Worlds nor the new method of refining spiritual artifacts are things he has never encountered before.
Simultaneously venturing into two unfamiliar and risky fields is something that makes one uneasy.
"Besides—" the sphere of light in the Guardian Mirror flickered with anxiety, "Your Dou Qi Continent has nothing! You can't even find the Spirit Gathering Pillar, the material necessary to solidify a large-scale Spirit Gathering Array!"
"Those alternative formations you used before—I'm really afraid that if you miscalculate and the spirit seal isn't properly secured, you'll blow the entire academy, along with your students, to smithereens!"
The Mirror of Guardians manipulated the Canaan Academy model in front of it, and several spiritual seals appeared within it. It went out of control, and then the entire academy was blown into the sky.
"Chirp!" The Ice Flame Phoenix, which was observing the model with great interest, was furious. It stretched out its claws and grabbed the consciousness orb of the Guardian Mirror, and kept flapping its wings at it.
The Guardian Mirror crashed against the ground and its wings, letting out a pitiful scream: "You weakling! Stop it right now! If you want to see a model, build it yourself!"
"Haha—" Huo Yuhao quickly put on a warm smile and interjected, "Alright, alright, calm down, it's just a small matter—"
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao immediately rebuilt a model of Canaan Academy.
Given the opportunity, the Mirror of Protection immediately sprang to Huo Yuhao's back, and the image of an Ice Flame Phoenix appeared on the sphere, with a sign on its head that read: Noob!
After some reassurance, the three sat down in a row next to the model once again. The Guardian Mirror said seriously, "Young Huo, there's no need to rush the construction of the spirit array. Why not wait until your other divine sense avatars have finished their work before focusing on setting up the spirit array?"
Huo Yuhao's mental projection was focused, his fingertips tapping the air on the model: "It's alright. After two days of repeated simulations, we have already simulated the arrangement of the spirit gathering array hundreds of times in the mental world. The energy flow and the fixed positions of the spirit seals have been determined."
"As for the substitute for the Spirit Gathering Pillar—" Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, then continued, "I already have a method; it just depends on whether the weapon forging side can succeed!"
Huo Yuhao paused, a barely perceptible hint of regret flashing in his eyes: "But Mirror, why do you insist on only setting up a level five spirit-gathering array? My original plan was—"
"Level seven, huh? Don't even think about it!" The sphere of light from the Guardian Mirror suddenly expanded, its voice rising: "That's right! With your freakish soul control and affinity for energy, the chances of successfully setting up a level seven spirit-gathering array are indeed not small! And then what?!"
It was just about to use this new model to simulate the results, but when it saw the unfriendly look in the Ice Flame Phoenix's eyes, it stopped and simply said: "Then let that massive surge of heaven and earth energy crush all your students and elders into meat patties."
'
"Huh?" Huo Yuhao's mental projection showed obvious surprise for the first time. "Really...like this?"
He was so accustomed to his extreme affinity and control over energy that he neglected the limits of what ordinary cultivators could withstand.
"Of course it will!" the Guardian Mirror roared irritably. "Do you think everyone's like you, treating the primordial energy of heaven and earth like your pets?"
"The energy you unleashed with those 500,000 spirit seals the day before yesterday would have dried up by now if someone else had tried to withstand it!"
The Guardian Mirror bounced and landed on Huo Yuhao's head, its tone extremely firm: "The energy gathered by a Level 5 Spirit Gathering Array is already the limit that your academy's Great Battle Masters and Battle Spirit students can withstand. Level 6 can turn them all into wooden puppets, and Level 7 is simply courting death!"
Huo Yuhao remained silent for a moment, a hint of lingering fear flashing in his eyes, before sincerely saying, "I understand. Thank you for reminding me this time, Mirror."
The sphere of light from the Guardian Mirror smugly shook itself: "That's right! Don't you know who I am? Nobody knows more about building the academy than me!"
Just then—all of Huo Yuhao's divine sense clones, including his main body which was in seclusion, showed a look of joy on their faces, as if they had just realized it!
"Success!" Huo Yuhao's mental projection spoke, his voice tinged with excitement. "It's confirmed that the Battle Crystal does indeed possess sufficient stability to fully support complex energy structures. Solidifying the Spirit Seal should be feasible!"
Before he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao's eyes gleamed, and he immediately began the final simulation on the mental model.
Between the mountains of the inner and outer courtyards of Canaan College.
Huo Yuhao's divine sense clone was retrieving the next batch of materials from his storage ring. When several special ores, gleaming with a cold metallic light and containing energy but devoid of any spiritual fluctuations, were taken out, Yan Hao couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Old Huo!" Yan Hao pointed at the few pieces of ore, his voice filled with surprise and confusion, "You—you always emphasized that refining weapons must use materials containing spiritual energy, right? These dead lumps—they can't activate spirit patterns at all!"
Huo Yuhao picked up a heavy, incredibly hard, dark gold ore, lightly touching it with his fingertips to feel the energy it contained. He calmly explained, "Spiritual materials are good, but their quantity is ultimately limited. Moreover, I've recently discovered a phenomenon. The higher the grade and the more distinct the characteristics of a material, the lower the probability of it developing spirituality. This excludes materials from the bodies of magical beasts."
He glanced at the crowd: "However, I don't want weapon crafting to become a skill that is only tied to hunting magical beasts."
Seeing the group deep in thought, Huo Yuhao continued, "Excessive pursuit of spirituality and efficiency of spiritual runes is ultimately unsustainable. If we want our crafted spiritual weapons to still be helpful in battles between high-level cultivators, we must find other methods."
