Chapter 105 Awaken, My Elder Yi!
Compared to inscribing the core magic array, assembling a soul tool is undoubtedly much simpler.
Meng Hongchen's eyes never left the crafting table, while Yun Ze's fair hands moved with incredible agility, like butterflies flitting among flowers.
The metallic outer shell was quickly assembled piece by piece, finally transforming into a small soul tool on the crafting table.
This soul tool resembled an iron box, encased in a pink metallic shell, with only a short cannon muzzle protruding from the outside.
A level one soul tool was useless to both Yun Ze and Meng Hongchen.
However, Yun Ze and Meng Hongchen exchanged a glance and both smiled.
"Congratulations, Xiao Ze, this soul tool has been successfully made," Meng Hongchen said with a smile.
Yunze handed the soul tool to Meng Hongchen. "Want to try it?"
"Yes!"
Meng Hongchen took the soul tool from Yunze. Although it was only a level one soul tool, it was like a treasure in her hands. She held it carefully, afraid of accidentally dropping it.
A wisp of soul power was injected into the soul tool, activating its core array.
The next instant, a bright light flashed from the muzzle, and a thin ray shot out, landing on the ground.
A thin scorch mark appeared on the ground. There was no way around it; the power of a level one soul tool was really nothing special.
"It's really a success!" Holding the soul tool tightly, Meng Hongchen's gaze towards Yunze remained unchanged.
Xiao Ze, truly a perfect genius!
After storing the soul tool in her storage soul tool, Meng Hongchen smiled and said, "Xiao Ze, with your soul tool making skills, you'll probably master the most difficult level-one soul tool to make—the propulsion soul tool—in a few days. Once you can make three different types of soul tools, you'll pass the level-one soul tool master assessment."
"In all these years, this is the first time I've seen a soul tool genius like you. If Grandpa knew, he would definitely be very happy."
Yunze smiled without speaking, but he didn't intend to continue the research. Instead, he invited Meng Hongchen to stroll around the campus.
Soul tools could be learned whenever there was time.
Building a relationship with Meng Hongchen was more important than that.
For Yunze, Su Yu's basic courses were no longer necessary.
During the afternoon classes, Yunze spent almost all his time studying the basic soul tool arrays in the books, memorizing most of them.
Su Yu naturally noticed Yunze's behavior, and although somewhat puzzled, she didn't remind him.
She had specifically asked him a few questions, which he answered perfectly.
Genius!
The word instantly flashed through Su Yu's mind.
Only the title of genius could match Yunze's monstrous talent.
Therefore, Su Yu simply ignored him.
After class, Yunze, as usual, waited for Meng Hongchen to arrive, and the two went to the cafeteria for lunch.
After dinner, Meng Hongchen took Yunze back to the villa, relying on Yunze's martial soul attribute to aid her cultivation.
Based on Meng Hongchen's current rate of progress, she estimated that her soul power would reach the level 50 bottleneck within two weeks, at which point she could acquire her fifth soul ring and officially advance to Soul King.
Originally, Meng Hongchen's cultivation level was similar to Xiao Hongchen's, but Meng Hongchen's talent as a soul master was slightly stronger than her older brother's. However, she had also taken drugs, so her soul power was somewhat unstable.
But since cultivating with Yunze, her previously somewhat unstable soul power had become incredibly solid.
To put it bluntly, even though Meng Hongchen's current cultivation level was still 49, her strength had definitely increased by at least 30% compared to a few days ago.
This was a significant improvement for Meng Hongchen, considering that for a close-combat soul master like her, the only room for improvement was through further cultivation and acquiring more powerful soul tools. After finishing their cultivation, Meng Hongchen offered to escort Yunze back to his dormitory, and Yunze agreed after some thought.
The boy and girl strolled through the moonlit campus, and looking at the students around them, Yunze felt a sense of nostalgia, as if he were back in his past life as a student.
Yunze enjoyed this life, but he also hadn't forgotten his purpose in coming to Mingdu.
Currently, his learning about soul tools seemed to be going smoothly; with his talent, he would eventually become a powerful soul tool master.
The two most important things were: first, entering the Mingde Hall, the core institution for soul tool masters in the entire Sun Moon Empire, and also the most advanced soul tool institution on the entire continent.
Only by entering the Mingde Hall could he obtain more blueprints and manufacturing methods.
Second, resources—resources related to soul tools and metals.
Especially metals; the reason the continent's development of soul tools had been slow, besides the lack of technological breakthroughs, was the scarcity of metal ores.
It could be said that the Sun Moon Empire controlled at least 70% of the continent's rare metal ores, and almost the vast majority were controlled by the royal family.
To secure support in the form of metal resources, Yunze had to approach the royal family.
The difficulty lay in the extreme chaos within the Sun Moon Empire's royal family.
Countless power struggles and infighting raged, with the infighting among the princes being common knowledge among many nobles.
The current Sun Moon Emperor, however, did not oppose this situation, even remaining indifferent to the competition among his princes.
Back in his dormitory, Yunze took a quick shower and then forced the Demon Spirit King to do the same.
Although the Demon Spirit King was a ferocious beast, she didn't have the habit of washing herself like other spirit beasts. Being of spirit origin, she had almost no habits except for sleeping.
Although with her cultivation level, she didn't have any odor regardless of whether she bathed or not, Yunze still purposefully helped her gradually adapt to this lifestyle.
In the mornings, Yunze would assign the Demon Spirit King simple tasks, such as figuring out the general structure of the entire Ming Capital, identifying buildings and forces to be wary of, and so on.
Frankly, it would be easy for Yunze to figure it out himself; he just didn't want the Demon Spirit King to spend all day idly in her room.
Yunze insisted on his daily washing routine,
to which the Demon King naturally had no objection.
Listening to the faint sound of water in the bathroom, Yunze, wearing a bathrobe, leaned against the headboard, a book in his hand.
This was a copy of "The Complete Guide to Level One Core Magic Array Inscriptions," which he had obtained from Meng Hongchen. It contained far more magic arrays than those in textbooks.
Just as Yunze was intently studying the arrays, a sudden change in his spiritual sea made him freeze instantly.
"This is…"
Without time to think, Yunze's consciousness surged into his spiritual sea. As soon as he entered, a figure curled up beside him.
"Young Master, that…that…that bead is alive—"
Tianmeng pointed at the gray bead opposite him with her short forelimbs, exclaiming in horror.
Yunze's eyes narrowed slightly.
Layers of gray mist emerged from the bead, and in an instant, his entire spiritual sea seemed shrouded in dark clouds, becoming incredibly dim!
A deep-seated resentment welled up from the depths of Yunze's heart.
However, he felt no fear; on the contrary, a surge of joy suddenly burst forth.
"Finally awakened, my old master Yi," Yunze murmured to himself, staring at the gray bead.
