Chapter 153, the initial test, seems to have been successful.
The Ice Jade Scorpion is a soul beast that excels at speed. While its strength is considerable, it is only relative to other soul beasts of similar size. Therefore, by limiting the Ice Jade Scorpion's speed, its terrifyingly powerful explosive attack will be significantly reduced.
The supergravity field generating soul tool that Long You set up was for this purpose. As long as the speed of the Ice Jade Scorpion is restricted, the attack of the giant soul-guided power mech can be effectively hit.
Even though the Ice Jade Scorpion has a strong defense and can withstand attacks from the soul-guided power mech and launch counterattacks, Long You is not afraid. Without speed, there is no explosive power; the Ice Jade Scorpion can only rely on its poison.
To be honest, the venom of the Ice Jade Scorpion is indeed a rather troublesome toxin, possessing strong corrosive properties. If the Ice Jade Scorpion were to directly spray its venom onto the Soul-Guided Powered Mech, then Long You would indeed need to worry about whether the mech's outer shell could withstand it.
Unfortunately, even if the Ice Jade Scorpion wanted to spray its venom onto the Soul-Guided Powered Mech, it couldn't do so now. Having lost its speed boost, the Ice Jade Scorpion simply couldn't break through the energy defense field on the surface of the Soul-Guided Powered Mech using its own strength.
The battle had once again reached the point where Long You could only unleash his attacks while his opponent could only take the hits without being able to retaliate. Just as it seemed that the ten-thousand-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion was about to be captured, a terrifyingly powerful aura rose from the Ice Jade Scorpion's gathering place not far away.
Almost at the same time that the energy detection soul tool detected this energy aura, the red warning light, representing deadly danger, began to flash wildly in the small underground space that Long You had dug out himself.
Just as Long You sensed that this terrifying aura was about to teleport him to the soul-guided power mech, another aura erupted from the west, some distance away.
The terrifying aura that was so close at hand visibly froze for a moment when this new aura erupted. Then, it decisively abandoned its soul-guided power mech and moved towards the newly appeared aura.
Noticing this, Long You didn't have time to think about Huo Yuhao's safety. Instead, he quickly commanded the soul-guided power mecha to completely crush the ten-thousand-year-old ice scorpion.
The spirit rings floated up as Long You, piloting his spirit-guided mech, retrieved the spirit ring storage device. His large, thick metal fingers laboriously manipulated the "miniature" spirit ring storage device.
Although invisible and intangible, a special energy emanated the moment the Soul Ring Storage Soul Tool was activated. Guided by this energy, the newly generated Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Ring was safely stored in the Soul Ring Storage Soul Tool.
Although it hadn't been analyzed and verified by the Insight Glasses, this scene still made Long You's eyes light up. His intuition told him that this matter had been successfully resolved.
However, now is not the time to celebrate. Hyotei has been lured away, but the terrifying beings within the Ice Jade Scorpion gathering place are not limited to Hyotei alone. The Soul-Guided Powered Mech, which played the role of provocation, should probably retreat as soon as possible.
Along the way, Bourne had already scouted out the general map using his soul-guided device. As long as the soul-guided power mech stopped playing music, the probability of a safe evacuation was still quite high.
Although Bourne will no longer be able to precisely control the Soul Guiding Powered Mech's movements once the distance becomes too great, the combat assistance intelligence equipped on the Soul Guiding Powered Mech is sufficient for simply avoiding danger and traveling.
That's right, Long You is not planning to reunite with the Soul Guidance Powered Mech for the time being, at least not before leaving the Arctic Ice Plains.
Don't be fooled by the small size of the soul ring storage device inside the soul-guided power mech; its actual volume is quite substantial. Since storing soul rings can no longer be stored in the storage device, Long You doesn't plan to carry a meter-tall cylindrical bag; the soul-guided power mech can simply hold it in its hand.
From now until nightfall, Long You intends to remain silent. During this time, unless something underground attacks him, Long You does not plan to leave the cave.
Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng seemed to have gone quite far, and the detection soul tools that Long You had set up couldn't clearly detect the situation there. Only the energy detection soul tool could still vaguely detect the lingering energy fluctuations over there.
This is the far north ice plains. Although Shrek Academy has launched several communication satellites this semester, communication signals still don't reach this area. So, Long You can neither go online nor chat, so he can only sleep.
The higher the Soul Master's level, the more things await Long You in practice. Ordinary students can only practice in the Panlong Realm, which still requires time and effort to prepare, but Long You's Imagination Pearl does not have this problem.
With such convenient training conditions, Long You was absolutely unwilling to waste them. His goal was to create a virtual universe—a super artifact capable of possessing the original universe—using his own abilities. Once he achieved this, the divine realm and immortality would be no problem.
Night always falls earlier in the far north. Long You felt that he hadn't practiced much when Bourne woke him up with an alarm clock.
"Sir, as you wish, I woke you up now that the energy detection soul tool could not detect any energy fluctuations. It's already dark outside. Should we send out a reconnaissance drone to our destination?"
"Forget it, let's not use the drones. The wind outside is too strong. Let's send out that reconnaissance vehicle with its exterior coated with bright white iron (it was originally a small reconnaissance tank that went into the lava lake when helping He Caitou obtain his fourth soul ring. Now it has been remodeled by Long You).
"Be careful, with such a heavy snowstorm, our stealth soul tools might not be very effective."
"Okay, sir."
Long You sent an unmanned reconnaissance vehicle, about one meter tall and resembling an all-terrain vehicle, onto the surface. After the unmanned reconnaissance vehicle had been driving for a while, Long You himself emerged from the underground cave.
Huo Yuhao's current location is quite far from where Long You is. If Long You doesn't move, he'll soon lose contact with the unmanned reconnaissance vehicle that was sent out to scout ahead.
Because the surface conditions were really poor and the unmanned reconnaissance vehicle was not equipped with an anti-gravity levitation soul guide, it took Long You half an hour to detect Huo Yuhao's exact location.
(Huo Yuhao was carrying a signal transmitter, which the unmanned reconnaissance vehicle could receive.)
