Chapter 499: The Influence of the Soul
Of course, Xuan Zi was not really that averse to souls in his heart. Rather, it was precisely because he realized the uniqueness and scarcity of the existence of souls that he used strong opposition to conceal his true thoughts.
The existence of soul spirits may even, no, have begun to change the entire soul master world. If the production method is in the hands of Shrek Academy, it will definitely be the main force in promoting soul spirits!
Elder Lin obviously saw through Xuanzi's thoughts. She couldn't help but sneer and said, "Soul spirits can protect students from the danger of hunting soul beasts, especially the inner court disciples. When you led the team to the Xingdou Great Forest, I don't know how many geniuses were sacrificed. Now, they can advance safely with just a soul spirit ball. Even if we don't like Dragon Pavilion, we have to admit that this is an epoch-making progress. Shrek Academy does not accept soul spirits, but other forces will not reject soul spirits."
Qian Duoduo agreed, "Mr. Lin is right! I have an idea. Doesn't Mr. Xuan always mention the traditions of Shrek Academy? The original generation of Shrek Seven Devils, led by the founder, Dean Flanders, held soul fighting competitions almost every day in the large soul fighting field in Soto City. We can encourage teachers and students to sign up and give soul balls as prizes to students who get soul fighting badges of various levels within the specified time. As for the teachers, they can make money through soul fighting and generate income for the academy, and then we can purchase more soul balls as reserve resources."
"In the past, hunting soul beasts depended entirely on luck, and the attributes of the soul ring might not necessarily match the martial soul. Now the soul ball can choose its attributes, and the success rate of fusion is higher. Why not do it?" Although Xian Lin'er felt that she seemed to have overlooked something, in order to make Xuan Zi give up the idea of organizing teachers and students to go to the Xingdou Great Forest to hunt souls, she could only explain the benefits of souls.
"Well... let's try it for now. But I think that the soul itself is not suitable for all soul masters. Only the most outstanding soul masters have the possibility of trying to fuse souls. It's not enough to just get the fighting spirit badge. We must also let those students compete with each other!" Faced with the siege of three Titled Douluo, Xuan Zi had to give in, mainly because he could no longer break Qian Duoduo's defense and could no longer act casually.
"That's not enough. Now the number of students in our academy is much less than before. In addition to those teachers in charge of teaching, we must let teachers who are good at other academics start to study souls, otherwise we will always be controlled by others. Moreover, there are the shadows of ferocious beasts behind the Dragon Pavilion, and they must be aware of things like souls. The reason why the Dragon Pavilion can find so many soul beasts for research and experiments must be with the tacit consent of the ferocious beasts. But we no longer have our own captive soul beasts, and it will be difficult to conduct research. We can only start from the soul ball." Seeing that Xuanzi was no longer stubborn, Elder Lin softened his tone a little.
"Hmph! If you ask me, after Xiao Chi becomes a god, can't he just snatch the soul research results from Long Pavilion? The knowledge reserves of those brats in the academy are not as good as Xiao Wang's..." Xuanzi was stunned after realizing it belatedly. He hadn't thought about his grandson for a long time. For some reason, when academic research was mentioned, he thought of the young man who had average cultivation talent but a high level of teaching, rich theoretical reserves, specialized in various martial souls, and good at grasping the situation.
Under the condemning gazes of Elder Lin, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, Xuan Zi suddenly choked up. At that time, he was only concerned with taking Ma Xiaotao and Beibei away, but left Wang Yan and other students representing Shrek Academy in the danger-ridden Xingluo City. Wang Dong, Ning Tian and Xu Sanshi were fine, as they were all protected by the sect.
I heard that He Caitou was recruited by Longge. He is a traitor! When he heard the news, he complained about why Fanyu didn't clean up the academy. If Qian Duoduo and the others hadn't stopped him, Fanyu seemed to be going to explode with him on the spot.
Ling Luochen, is that his name? Not only did the girl lose an arm, she also lost a soul bone worth tens of millions of gold soul coins. It's not a pity for her to die.
As for Wang Yan, Xuanzi never thought about what his grand-disciple would face. Perhaps he just didn't want to think about it. When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he couldn't help but mourn for Wang Yan. This child would definitely not succumb to the tyranny of Long Ge like He Cai Tou did, but would rather die than obey as a Shrek member, right?
In Longcheng, where it is warm like spring all year round, and in Longge Think Tank with constant temperature and humidity, Wang Yan, who was immersed in the ocean of knowledge like a happy bookworm, sneezed a few times for no apparent reason and suddenly felt a chill.
Is someone cursing him?
"Teacher Wang, are you okay?" Under the soft light, Ling Luochen, who was helping Wang Yan sort out the materials, raised her head. Her snow-white skin was faintly visible between the pages of the book, making her slender right hand look even more slender and elegant. Her left arm was replaced by a delicate bionic prosthetic soul guide. The surface of the prosthetic was covered with an ice-blue metallic luster, and the lines were as delicate as ice crystals. As she moved, the fluctuations of soul power were faintly revealed.
"It's okay. Maybe someone is scolding me behind my back." Wang Yan's eyes stopped on Ling Luochen's left arm. "Did the medical bioengineering department upgrade your arm again?"
"It has participated in the final round of testing and should be put into production in a while. Very beautiful, isn't it?" Ling Luochen raised his left arm, with a barely perceptible curve at the corner of his lips, as if he was admiring this exquisite creation, and a complex light flashed in his eyes.
"Indeed." Wang Yan nodded. This was a good thing. He remembered that Ling Luochen used to be very resistant to soul-guided prostheses. He had no choice but to use his accumulated merits to ask the head of the family to let a familiar soul-guided senior make her a bionic prosthesis that looked no different from a normal person's arm.
"I remember that you have cultivated to the Quasi-Soul Saint realm some time ago. What kind of ice-attribute soul did they fuse with you?" Soul is a research topic that Wang Yan is very interested in. This technology is still being continuously upgraded and improved. Whether it is for bionic soul guides or souls, Ling Luochen is a good experimental material.
It sounds cruel, but the person involved did benefit a lot. Ling Luochen originally thought that she would never make any progress in her life, but the soul-guided prosthetics and soul experiments allowed her to embark on the path of becoming a strong person again.
"A 60,000-year-old snow girl, a humanoid ice-attributed soul beast." Ling Luochen's eyes became more complicated. "Thanks to you, they gave me the best treatment among the soul experiment volunteers, but... you should have discovered the disadvantages of souls. Ten thousand-year souls are fine, but ten-year and hundred-year souls will lock the upper limit of soul masters. As far as I know, there is currently no way to increase the age of soul rings, and the soul research department has no intention of going deeper in this direction."
"It will happen. You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. Only then can you go further and longer." Wang Yan consoled. Although he hasn't been a teacher for several years, the way he speaks still gives off a feeling of teaching and educating people.
