Wuhun element periodic table, rubbing black hole in Douluo

Chapter 344 Take all the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy away!

“Elements?” Xuan Ziwen repeated the unfamiliar word blankly.

"Everything is made up of elements."

Lin You extended a finger and pointed at the device burning with a ghostly blue flame. "Metal is an element, air is an element, and soul power is essentially a special kind of energy element. The bone I just used contains a trace amount of 'calcium' element power. It can trigger a special field that continuously attracts and transforms the surrounding energy elements, like a siphon, maintaining its own operation and generating additional energy output."

He paused, looked at Xuan Ziwen whose pupils were dilated with shock, and continued, "As for those magic arrays, they are not the soul-guiding magic arrays you understand, but 'elemental circuits' designed based on the laws of interaction between elements. They guide the flow of energy to achieve transformation and output."

“Elements…technology…” Xuan Ziwen murmured to himself. This new concept was like a tsunami, crashing into his existing understanding. “If you control the elements, you can control everything in the world?”

"That's the theory."

Lin You spread his hands, "In comparison, current soul guidance technology relies too much on the soul master himself. The soul master is strong, and the soul guidance device is strong. Once the soul master's soul power is exhausted, even the strongest soul guidance device is just a pile of scrap metal. How can such technology truly benefit the people? It will forever remain an expensive toy used by the soul master class."

These words struck Xuan Ziwen like a heavy hammer blow. His lifelong ideal was to create a soul tool that ordinary people could use, so that the light of technology could illuminate every corner. He had devoted countless efforts to this, but he was still unable to break through the fundamental problem of soul power dependence.

Now, Lin You, a young man from Shrek Academy who was considered by them to be backward in soul guidance technology, has casually proposed a brand new system, a system that seems to be able to fundamentally solve his lifelong troubles!

"Elements... are something that cannot be distinguished by the naked eye and cannot be seen?" Xuan Ziwen asked, trying to understand this subversive concept.

"Yes, but it is not unobservable."

Lin You explained, "Through a special microscope with sufficiently high resolution, we can observe the atomic structure that makes up matter, which is just the tip of the iceberg of elements. This is a completely new discipline, and we need to start learning from the most basic knowledge."

Xuan Ziwen fell silent, his heart churning with turmoil. He couldn't immediately determine whether Lin You's words were true or false, but the logical consistency of the theory and the prospects it depicted held a fatal attraction for him. If it were true… then wouldn't all his research over the past twenty years have been…

No! We can't think like that! This might be a completely new direction! A direction that can truly realize his ideals!

"Go to Shrek Academy... and you can learn this skill?" Xuan Ziwen's voice trembled slightly. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin You with shining eyes.

"Hmm, you could say it's the origin, but it's based on my martial spirit power," Lin You replied ambiguously.

"it is good!"

Xuan Ziwen slapped his thigh and excitedly spun around twice. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now! To Shrek! I want to see this subject with my own eyes!"

His quick reaction and decisive action surprised Lin You. This guy... is too carried away!
"Teacher, calm down."

Lin You helplessly raised his hand to stop him, "Do you think that, given your status in Mingde Hall and the importance of your research, we can just leave now and actually walk out of the gates of the Sun Moon Empire? I'm afraid we'll be stopped as soon as we reach the city gates, won't we?"

Xuan Ziwen's excitement was instantly dampened, as if doused with cold water. He then realized his loss of composure and the impracticality of his thoughts. Yes, he was one of Mingdetang's core researchers, possessing a wealth of classified information; how could he simply leave?

He was probably just about to leave when he was shot eight times in the back that very night and sentenced to suicide. He rubbed his hands awkwardly, quickly adjusted his mindset, and his attitude towards Lin You also underwent a subtle change. It was no longer like a teacher looking at a student, but more like... seeing a fellow traveler, or even a mentor.

“Cough, you’re right, I was too impulsive.” Xuan Ziwen cleared his throat. “Besides, since you developed this ‘elemental science,’ wherever you are, that’s the forefront. Learning from you and going to Shrek Academy are probably not essentially the same.”

He immediately changed his approach: "Lin You, no, we should discuss this together. From today onwards, you are no longer my student, we are research partners! I will immediately apply to the higher authorities to secure the highest level of research funding and independent experimental facilities for you! Just tell me what materials or equipment you need! I will do my best to meet your needs!"

The speed of this change in attitude made Lin You secretly admire the pure dedication of this research fanatic. At the very least, he couldn't dedicate his entire life to research like this. He only wanted to be lazy when he was researching technology, but of course, he wouldn't be lazy before he succeeded.

Laziness is the ladder of human progress.

I work hard now because I want to be lazy later. (A fallacy)

“Since Shrek Academy is the birthplace of this emerging discipline,” Xuan Ziwen’s eyes lit up again, “after this exchange ends, two and a half years from now, I will definitely go to Shrek Academy in person to see for myself!”

He seems to have made long-term plans.

Then, as if remembering his "duty," he reverted to a teacher's demeanor, though his tone was completely different: "According to procedure, I should have taken you to visit the Mingde Hall, so you could witness the pinnacle of the Empire's soul-guiding technology. However..."

Xuan Ziwen reached out and touched himself, paused, then reluctantly lowered his hand: "Forget it, Mingde Hall is extremely strict. They only recognize specially made identity tokens. Without permission, I can't even bring a fly in. You can familiarize yourself with the environment here first. These materials... use them as you like! Consider it my advance 'tuition fee'!"

He pointed to the precious materials filling the room, his face showing undisguised eagerness.

"I'll go find the head of the hall right now and apply for a special permit for you to visit and learn at Mingde Hall! Just wait for my good news!"

Before he finished speaking, Xuan Ziwen had already turned around and hurriedly left the laboratory. His back view was full of urgency and anticipation, as if he was going to do something important that would affect his future.

The laboratory door was gently closed.

Lin You watched the direction where Xuan Ziwen disappeared, the playfulness and helplessness on his face gradually fading, replaced by a knowing smile.

Good, the fish has taken the bait. And it's biting quite deeply.

"Looks like I should go to the library to read some books later. I also need to start compiling some teaching materials and figure out a way to make a model of atomic distribution and molecular structure. Hehe, no soul master can resist the emerging soul guidance direction. The origin of all things in the world is right before our eyes. These people can't resist it."

The essence of Soul Mentors and Researchers is very similar: exploring the unknown. The higher the level, the stronger and purer the spirit of exploration.

What could be more shrouded in mystery than his understanding of the elements of the world?

What's so bad about kidnapping Xuan Ziwen?
What I'm going to do is pack up all the students at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and take them away!
