Once again entering the practical phase, with the feedback from the Power of Destiny, Su Yu pinpointed individuals harboring malice towards him, simultaneously utilizing the "Evil" Rune in this process.
Actually, the malice from Zhongli Wu and others towards Su Yu could have been deduced by Su Yu through reflection alone.
The perception provided by the "Evil" Rune was a more direct form of revelation.
Guessing and actual answers are completely different concepts.
Moreover, the perception offered by the "Evil" Rune leans more towards ongoing malevolence. Precisely for this reason, when he first detected malice from Zhongli Wu, driven by the feedback from the Power of Destiny, his gaze met Zhongli Wu's.
Zhongli Wu was strong, and the connection with Su Yu was significant, something Su Yu himself defined as "karma", the karma between the two was substantial.
In Tiandou City, he orchestrated the arrival of Yan Shaozhe, battled Zhongli Wu, and thwarted Zhongli Wu's plan to lead Tang Ya astray. Furthermore, Su Yu resolved the Zhongli Brothers, even to the point of opposition in both teams...
These various karmic links between the two manifested their Power of Destiny more prominently.
Of course, there is also the fact that Zhongli Wu's strength is immense, carrying more weight in influencing destiny.
This is the reason why, after Su Yu outlined the "Evil" Rune, he was able to first perceive his malice.
With the summary of this perception, after further enhancement, Su Yu once again sensed other forms of malice.
Malice from Yan Shaozhe, malice from Xuanzi, malice from Xu Tianran...
Gradually, Su Yu's standard for detecting malice lowered.
If Zhongli Wu's malice was a hundred, Su Yu would need exactly a hundred to feel it, Yan Shaozhe's was fifty, Xuanzi's thirty, Xu Tianran's twenty...
This doesn't mean their plans against Su Yu were inferior to Zhongli Wu's, but it refers to the current intensity of malice.
Su Yu has now reduced his perception threshold to roughly 5 points.
Meaning that as long as the malice reaches 5, Su Yu can perceive it.
Within the Great Soul Arena, anyone explicitly harboring malice towards Su Yu can be detected through the "Evil" Rune.
This level was already strong enough.
Su Yu even felt that he needed to block this malice perception ability ordinarily, at least this passive perception couldn't constantly appear in his mind.
"All malice and its sources can be regarded as a database, won't affect me, but if I wish to know, I can know at any time."
Otherwise, living in a world where one is aware of all malice from people around is indeed unbearable.
As the "Evil" Rune was refined, so too were the "Life" and "Inference" Runes related to the Power of Destiny significantly enhanced.
...
On the tenth day of the cycle tournament.
"Boom boom boom!"
Uniform steps, exquisite equipment, a full thirty thousand troops besieged the Great Soul Arena from three directions.
Inside the Great Soul Arena, each participating team felt incredibly heavy-hearted.
Shrek Rest Area.
"Xu Tianran didn't even bother to hide anymore, he has so blatantly maneuvered the army to the outside of the Great Soul Arena."
Now the Great Soul Arena is surrounded by the army on three sides, and the other direction connects directly to Mingdu.
"No problem, we will follow the rules and return to Mingdu, and then return. How can the Sun and Moon Empire act against us?" While many sect academy participants were panicking, some spoke thus.
Such remarks indeed received considerable support.
After all, following the most regular procedure, entering the Sun and Moon Empire through proper entry procedures, if they were to be detained even then, the Sun and Moon Empire would be unjustifiable.
The rest areas of Xingluo Royal Team, Shrek Team, Body Sect Team, and others didn't relax due to such statements, instead they felt even more solemn.
"Alas, this Xu Tianran, ambitious and unrestrained."
"Fortunately, this time we are accompanied by numerous strong individuals."
"Even if Xu Tianran truly attacks, trying to slay the geniuses from Douluo Three Kingdoms, our seniors can cause serious harm to the Sun and Moon Empire."
...
No matter how the external troops maneuver, the competition still proceeds as normal.
Su Yu continued to be unaffected, consistently trying to enhance his application of the Power of Destiny, the completion of the "Evil" Rune was just one aspect, he was also continuously enhancing the "Inference" Rune.
The second-to-last day of the cycle tournament, Su Yu had almost begun to achieve simulation cultivation with the Power of Deduction.
"Cultivation through Universal Technique can now undergo deduction through the Inference Rune."
Su Yu found the latest version released by the research institute, utilizing the Power of Destiny to deduce the effect of cultivating this technique.
"Hmmm, at least it's now twice as fast as simple meditation, meaning if it previously took ten hours to reach the limit, now it takes five."
Cultivation is a gradual progression, each step of cultivation, every strand of Soul Power change, needs to be applied and assimilated, circulating Soul Power throughout the body, etching it into every corner of the Soul Master.
Precisely for this reason, there is a daily maximum limit.
Of course, this limit isn't rigid.
It means the first hour of cultivation can enhance by a hundred, the second hour by fifty, the third hour by twenty-five...by the tenth hour, the enhancement of Soul Power even falls below the one standard.
