Chapter 351 Seclusion to Break Through the Gold Element

Lin You then withdrew his teasing gaze and chuckled, "I haven't decided what I want you to do yet, but since it's a soul tool, I naturally need to ask Teacher Xuan for his opinion."

He looked at Xuan Ziwen: "Professor Xuan, what do you think is the most suitable research topic for them?"

Xuan Ziwen's eyes lit up: "Since you mentioned elemental technology, why don't we let them start by learning the basics? For example, energy conversion systems, elemental sensing amplification, and so on? I've seen your stuff, it's a brilliant idea. Although the structure can be made, the core flame seems impossible to replicate; it's not an ordinary flame."

Lin You nodded: "Hehe, that's my phosphorescent fire. Anyway, you can arrange it, teacher. I'll probably be going into seclusion later."

"Absolutely!" the two quickly assured each other.

Despite being senior students, they were incredibly humble at that moment.

There's nothing we can do; our lives are in their hands.

They are no longer as arrogant as they used to be.

What are the consequences of being expelled from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?
That would probably be even more serious than the consequences of being expelled from Shrek Academy by someone who was originally from the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

After all, quite a few people were expelled from Shrek Academy. At most, it was just a loss of face. In fact, other academies would still be eager to accept them. Their Soul Master level was what it was. No matter what, they had standard Soul Rings and were qualified to enter Shrek Academy. Their Martial Soul strength was such that they would be considered elites anywhere else.

However, if one were expelled from a semi-official institution like the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, then as a Soul Master, one would basically be unable to survive in the Sun Moon Empire.

The Sun Moon Empire has more than one place to study, but only the Royal Soul Master Academy serves as the benchmark for all academies; the power of popular support is formidable.

As everyone watched them leave, Lin You and Elder Song departed the test site and returned to the dormitory assigned to him.

In the dormitory, Lin You had just closed the door when a blue and white figure appeared from the window.

"You've had a good few days, haven't you?"

Xue Di smiled slightly, "You've already made a name for yourself at the testing grounds right after arriving, and I heard you almost caused a diplomatic incident?"

Lin You shrugged: "It's not that exaggerated. Compared to your mission, my task is just a small fry."

Xue Di sat gracefully in a chair by the window, her long robe fluttering gently: "I have investigated the situation under Mingde Hall and discovered some interesting things."

"Oh?" Lin You's interest was piqued. "What interesting thing?"

"Experimental Subject Number One".

Xue Di said softly, "A huge soul-guided mecha, about fifty meters tall, made entirely of top-grade soul-guided metal. It has a complex soul-guided circuit and control system inside. According to the researchers, Project One is too advanced and belongs to the technology of the future. However, they have not yet completed the iteration of the core array. The pilot needs to be at least a Title Douluo with mental attributes to have a 30% chance of not being attacked by the mecha on the spot."

Lin You nodded thoughtfully: "Soul-guided mecha?"

"Yes."

Xue Di nodded. "It seems that the Sun Moon Empire shares your idea. They also plan to create a war weapon similar to 'Gundam' to end the war. According to the conversation, this should be the ultimate humanoid soul tool they have created by gathering the power of a thousand years and using countless rare materials. It is currently in an unfinished state."

"Impressive, Snow Empress." Lin You exclaimed sincerely, "That place should be the core of the Sun Moon Empire, heavily guarded, yet you managed to sneak in and investigate without anyone noticing."

A gentle expression appeared on Xue Di's face as she quietly nodded: "The risk this time is indeed considerable, but as long as it can help you, I don't mind taking the risk. Besides, what if we find out?"

"The biggest threat to me is none other than Kong Deming. He has been living in seclusion deep within the palace. It will take him at least three to five minutes to get to Mingde Hall. In that short time, with the Mirror Red Dust and the defenses here, he can't destroy everything, but he also can't stop me."

Her voice softened: "Besides, since you trust me so much, I should naturally reciprocate."

Lin You scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, thinking to himself that the Snow Empress seemed to have changed a lot. She was no longer the aloof and icy Snow Maiden he had first met. The Snow Maiden who was once detached from worldly affairs had been unknowingly influenced and changed by him.
Does he really have that much charm? He clearly remembers not doing anything.

"correct."

The Snow Empress smoothed her long, snow-white hair and continued earnestly, "Next, I need to investigate the location of the Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells. They are the war stockpile that the Sun Moon Empire has painstakingly accumulated over thousands of years. The quantity is not large, but each one is priceless."

Lin You blinked: "You plan to take them all with you?"

At this point, Xue Di's lips curled up slightly: "Of course, pack them all up. Isn't this what they've been accumulating for the war? If they were to use them on the battlefield, how many innocent lives would be lost? It's safer for us to keep them."

Upon hearing this, Lin You immediately burst into laughter: "You're practically robbing a goose by plucking its feathers as it passes by."

A sly glint flashed in Xue Di's eyes as she conjured a small snowball and hurled it at Lin You: "Who told them to be so rich? Besides, taking these shells would weaken their war potential, which would be beneficial to peace on the continent."

Lin You nimbly dodged the snowball, inwardly marveling at how Xue Di had become so uninhibited. She used to be aloof and detached from worldly affairs, but now she had changed so much.

The next moment, Xue Di stood up, preparing to leave: "I have to hurry up, I'll come find you after I finish the mission."

Lin You nodded: "Be careful."

The Snow Emperor's figure gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared completely into the air, leaving only a trace of coolness.

Lin You's smile gradually spread across his face. He had absorbed too much medicine, and the power of his soul bone had been stored deep within him. The battles and adaptations during this period had fully activated his body.

"It's time," Lin You muttered to himself. "It's time to absorb the power of the soul bone."

He walked to the door, hung up a "Do Not Disturb" sign, then took out his soul-guided communicator and sent a message to Xuan Ziwen:
"Teacher Xuan, my teaching materials are already on the table. Since I just finished them, I don't know much about this area. Please review them and I will improve them based on your feedback."

After sending the message, Lin You sat cross-legged on the bed and entered a state of deep meditation.

His consciousness gradually sank into his body, and he sensed the soul bone that shimmered with dark light—the right arm bone of the 360,000-year-old Demon King Squid.

This soul bone contains pure and powerful ultimate dark power, waiting for him to fully absorb it.

As Lin You's breathing gradually became long and even, a jet-black energy began to circulate within his body, moving through his meridians as if it were alive. Black lines faintly appeared on his skin, like blood vessels forged with ink patterns, exuding a deep and restrained aura.

At this moment, Lin You completely entered a state of seclusion, focusing on awakening the power of the metal element within his body.
