Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 39 Soul Guide Ray
Not long after, Yu Tianheng and the other five also came over.

Shi Mo looked at Tong Rui with resentment and said, "You are so mean. You actually sneaked here to see the scenery by yourself, leaving us there to entertain those people."

"Haha, those who are capable should do more work. Besides, I did have something to do just now. By the way, why did you come here? Is the dinner over?" Tong Rui laughed and covered up the topic.

Yu Tianheng replied: "No, but we can leave anytime we want. After all, the protagonists today are this year's Tiandou Royal Team, and it won't be over until they leave."

Dugu Yan continued with disdain: "But in my opinion, judging by the character of those people, they would like the dinner to never end."

Tong Rui smiled and said, "After all, this is the atmosphere of the academy. People like us are like outliers in the academy."

"Indeed, but the training environment and resources of Tiandou Royal Academy are really sufficient. I think the geniuses of the empire in previous years all came here for this reason." Shimo analyzed.

"In the past, the academy was indeed a gathering place for geniuses in the empire. However, as more and more nobles came in to gild their talents, the atmosphere was corrupted. Now, most people choose to study at the Five Elements Academy." Tong Rui said to everyone as he walked.

"By the way, did you find a suitable Agility Attack Spirit Master at the banquet?"

"I see that most of the eligible people are soul masters at level 23 or 24. Although they are qualified to participate in the competition, they cannot compete with the intensity of our lineup." Ye Lingling replied. Everyone was busy with socializing and she was the only one who noticed the low-level soul masters in the venue.

"Then just find two Agility Attack Types. By then, I won't be needed much before the finals. Just find two substitutes who can participate in the competition."

The group continued discussing this all the way back to the academy.

Tong Rui practiced day after day, researched soul guide arrays, and cultivated dragon eggs. In this way, he was busy until the end of the semester, but he still did not develop a feasible and effective soul guide array.

In the study of forging and soul guides, Tong Rui is one of the few things that is extremely difficult to learn even with the help of the proficiency panel.

After all, this is not like cultivation, where one can clearly understand the next stage and enter it smoothly.

Even though Tong Rui knew that the next stage was spiritual forging, he still couldn't fuse and forge the spiritual energy of the metal. Every piece of metal that was one of the thousand forgings didn't want to take this crucial step.

The same goes for soul guides. Even if one has learned how to draw the core array of a soul guide, but has not completely made a soul guide, it will always remain at the previous level.

Therefore, Tong Rui did not plan to work in isolation. After returning home for the holidays, Tong Rui organized the knowledge he knew about soul guides and gave it to his parents to study together.

Although Tong Rui has not made any obvious progress in the production of battle armor these days, he has made a small breakthrough in the production of soul guides.

But because it was close to the end of the semester when he produced them, Tong Rui could only make two and gave them to the people of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for free trial.

There were people from the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect in the Tiandou Royal Academy, and some of them were Ning Fengzhi's sons. Although Ning Fengzhi only had one daughter, Ning Rongrong, he had many sons, and when they were old enough to go to school, they all went to various top-level high-level soul master academies, so Ning Rongrong was the one who allowed her to go to Shrek to study.

Because Tong Rui was worried that someone in the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect would be able to replicate the manufacturing process of the soul guide, every soul guide he sold made use of the structural features of the Lu Ban Lock.

After the two soul guide arrays were carved, they were spliced ​​together in a lock-lock manner. In this way, even if the soul guide was disassembled, only the soul power circuit connecting the core could be seen.

Because this third-level soul guide ray can be used at will by grand soul masters and above, and it has strong lethality, a general soul master will have at least the combat power of a soul master level after equipping it, so Tong Rui priced it at 3000 gold soul coins each.

This kind of monopoly business, once school starts, will probably bring in a large amount of gold soul coins. So Tong Rui also thinks it's time to start building his own sect.

"Establish a sect?" Tong Qingtian and his wife looked at each other, then looked at Tong Rui in confusion.

Tong Qingtian said, "Son, I'm not trying to discourage you. You know, although our family is relatively well-off, the money needed to establish a sect is not a small amount."

"Of course, you can. Look, this is my latest third-level soul guide device, the soul guide ray." Tong Rui took out a sample and handed it to his mother.

Then he continued, "Mother, you inject soul power into that handle, and then you can release a soul power beam from this pipe. This beam should have the power of a soul master."

Mo Yun did as he was told and aimed the gun barrel at the stone wall in the backyard. As his soul power circulated, a golden light flashed and the stone wall immediately exploded.

"This, this soul guide ray has reached the level of Soul Master in terms of speed and power. It is simply a perfect match for the auxiliary system." Tong Qingtian said in surprise and immediately tried it.

Seeing another hole in the backyard wall, Tong Rui explained, "Soul guides are used by more than just auxiliary systems. I have also developed soul guide shields, soul guide paralysis rays, and storage soul guides. These things can also exert powerful power in the hands of combat soul masters."

"Just like the four single-attribute clans affiliated with the Haotian Sect, those who specialize in defense can be equipped with high-level soul guide cannons, and those who specialize in attack can be equipped with high-level soul guide shields. In this way, all soul masters will improve their weaknesses through soul guides."

Tong Qingtian knew Tong Rui's idea too well. He did not have any offensive soul skills among his first five soul skills. If he had been equipped with a soul guide that could hurt a Soul King, he would be invincible in his class.

"Your invention will obviously change the future of the soul master world. Almost everyone will be equipped with such a soul guide to make up for their shortcomings. However, are you sure you can develop a soul guide that can harm a soul master of this level?"

It's no wonder Tong Qingtian was suspicious. After all, the attack speed of the soul guide was too slow. And at the level of the seal, the ray just now couldn't even touch it.

“Of course, this is just a third-level soul guide, and it’s aimed at Soul Masters. When I make a ninth-level soul guide, you’ll be given a title, and I’ll kill you with one shot.” ​​Tong Rui answered proudly.

Tong Qingtian was furious and slapped Tong Rui on the head: "One shot kills one, now you can kill ten with one palm strike. You might as well hurry up and cultivate to the title. By then, if you want to establish a sect, there will be many people begging to help you do so."
