Chapter 154: Three Months to Become a Level 10 Soul Engineer!
"Imperial Preceptor, you are simply… simply a god walking among mortals!"
Ming City, inside the Soul Tool Laboratory.
Ye Hongchen was filled with praise, his eyes brimming with fanaticism toward Yun Yuan.
With such soul tool talent, perhaps in just a few more months, he would become the legendary Level 9 Soul Engineer.
Over the past month, Ye Hongchen had been completely captivated by Yun Yuan's talent.
If Yun Yuan were merely a powerful soul master, then Ye Hongchen would only feel reverence toward him.
But if Yun Yuan was also a talented Soul Engineer, then beyond respect, Ye Hongchen felt deep fanaticism.
It was already close to faith.
One could say that Ye Hongchen had now become a true Yun Yuan admirer.
Yun Yuan was the god of soul engineers in his heart!
"Ye, by following me, you will witness the future of Soul Engineers."
Yun Yuan spoke calmly.
As for becoming a Level 8 Soul Engineer within a month, he still thought the speed was somewhat slow.
Before long, he was confident he could become a Level 9, perhaps even a Level 10 Soul Engineer.
At that time, he would become the supreme faith of all Soul Engineers within the entire Sun Moon Empire.
"Imperial Preceptor, I wish to witness the moment you achieve the legendary realm of a Level 9 Soul Engineer."
"Before that day arrives, Ye shall forever follow the Imperial Preceptor!"
Ye Hongchen knelt on one knee, his gaze unwavering.
To a Soul Engineer like Ye Hongchen, who possessed profound attainments in the field of soul tools—
Yun Yuan's status in his heart had already surpassed even that of the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire.
"Good. Next, follow my steps. I shall begin creating the legendary level 9 soul tools."
"During this period, however much insight you gain will depend on your own comprehension."
Hearing Yun Yuan's words, Ye Hongchen's body trembled violently.
He was finally about to witness the birth of a legendary level 9 soul tool.
What an immense honor this was!
...
Over the next half month, Yun Yuan officially began creating level 9 soul tools.
As Ye Hongchen watched from the side, he only felt that Yun Yuan's comprehension and talent were unprecedented throughout history.
During this period, Ye Hongchen's attainments as a Level 9 Soul Engineer also improved somewhat.
However, he was still quite far from becoming a Level 9 Soul Engineer.
Half a month later, the level 9 soul tool Yun Yuan sought to create was finally completed.
Inside the soul tool laboratory,
Ye Hongchen directly dropped to his knees before a giant sword, staring fanatically at the massive blade radiating purple-blue light.
"So this is... a level 9 soul tool?"
"Ye have no regrets in this life!"
The giant sword before Ye Hongchen was named the Storm Thunder Sword, a level 9 soul tool Yun Yuan had created over the course of this half month.
This level 9 soul tool belonged to the category of close-combat soul tools.
If an ordinary Titled Douluo wielded the Storm Thunder Sword, their strength would be sufficient to rival an ordinary Super Douluo.
This was the role soul tools played in battle.
If it were the four-word battle armor from twenty thousand years later, the amplification would be even more terrifying.
An ordinary Titled Douluo wearing four-word battle armor could rival a Limit Douluo.
"Ye, this is not the end. Level 9 soul tools are merely the beginning."
Seeing Ye Hongchen overjoyed and incomparably excited—
Yun Yuan felt he needed to prepare Ye Hongchen mentally in advance.
Otherwise, when he created a level 10 soul tool, he suspected Ye Hongchen might become so excited that he would ascend to heaven on the spot.
During this period, Yun Yuan also saw Ye Hongchen's pure passion and love for soul tools.
In terms of soul tool talent and comprehension, Ye Hongchen was far inferior to Yun Yuan.
But in terms of pure love and dedication toward soul tools, Yun Yuan was far inferior to Ye Hongchen.
"Imperial Preceptor, what do you… mean by that?"
Ye Hongchen already had a faint suspicion in his heart.
Beyond Level 9 Soul Engineers, could there really be Level 10 Soul Engineers?
The next moment,
Yun Yuan's response confirmed his speculation.
"Ye, Level 10 Soul Engineers do exist."
Ye Hongchen: !!!
A Level 10 Soul Engineer. What a miraculous realm that was.
These past few months have been the happiest period of his life.
"Imperial Preceptor, the resources required to create a level 10 soul tool will need to be reported to His Majesty."
After his excitement subsided, Ye Hongchen immediately began making plans for Yun Yuan.
To become a Soul Engineer, talent alone was not enough. Resources were also required.
Every soul tool required resources to be created, and the higher the rank, the greater the resources needed.
For example, ten thousand years later, the Sun Moon Empire had only several dozen soul cannon shells.
Twenty thousand years later, Douluo Star exhausted all resources within the planet just to create three level 12 soul cannon shells.
At present, their soul tool laboratory could still mobilize the resources necessary to create level 9 soul tools.
But resources for level 10 soul tools definitely required the full support of the Sun Moon Empire.
"Very well. Go."
Hearing Yun Yuan's instructions, Ye Hongchen left the soul tool laboratory and headed toward the grand hall where the Sun Moon Emperor resided.
Inside the hall,
"Patriarch Ye, are your words true?"
"The Imperial Preceptor is advancing toward the realm of a Level 10 Soul Engineer?"
The Sun Moon Emperor's voice trembled slightly with excitement.
"Yes. The Imperial Preceptor is a heaven-defying genius. In merely a month and a half, he went from knowing nothing to becoming a Level 9 Soul Engineer."
"This minister believes the Imperial Preceptor will certainly become a Level 10 Soul Engineer. However, this will require Your Majesty's full support."
Ye Hongchen recounted Yun Yuan's situation to the Sun Moon Emperor.
"You mean the Imperial Preceptor previously knew nothing about soul tools?"
The Sun Moon Emperor frowned slightly, feeling somewhat doubtful.
Back when Yun Yuan requested the position of Imperial Preceptor, he had once stated he would elevate the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools to a higher level.
At that time, the emperor had assumed Yun Yuan was already a level 8 or higher.
But now, it seemed that was not the case at all.
This Imperial Preceptor Yun Yuan had become a Level 9 Soul Engineer from absolute scratch within only a month and a half.
If that were truly the case, it was terrifying.
There was a complete difference between someone who spent many years immersed in soul tool research before finally becoming a Level 10 Soul Engineer—
And someone who studied for merely a month and a half before reaching that realm.
After learning about Yun Yuan's situation, the Sun Moon Emperor drew a cold breath.
Immediately afterward, he issued his command:
"Use the power of the entire nation to help Yun Yuan become a Level 10 Soul Engineer!"
With the Sun Moon Empire's full support, Yun Yuan no longer lacked resources on his path toward becoming a Level 10 Soul Engineer.
Now, the only thing he needed to do was...
Use his own wisdom to create a level 10 soul tool.
Inside the soul tool laboratory,
After another month and a half, relying on his Divine Origin Realm spiritual power, rank ninety-nine soul power, and the effects of the Wisdom Domain—
Yun Yuan successfully created a level 10 soul tool.
The level 10 soul tool Yun Yuan created was an armor-type soul tool, somewhat similar to the battle armor from twenty thousand years later.
Yet it was also different, possessing extremely strong compatibility and fusion properties.
According to Yun Yuan's ideas, in the future, he could fuse every piece of his soul bone into this level 10 armor soul tool.
At that time, this level 10 soul tool might directly evolve into a divine artifact. If nurtured properly, it could even become an ultra divine artifact.
