Wuhun element periodic table, rubbing black hole in Douluo

Chapter 370 The Power of Oxidation and Erosion
Led by Xuan Ziwen, the two walked for a full ten minutes before arriving at an empty lab table.

Xuan Ziwen took out an identity card and a Level 3 Soul Master badge. He pinned the badge to Lin You's chest and scanned the identity card with a device next to the lab table. He then scanned his own identity card to confirm it.

Looking at the Level 3 Soul Master badge on the boy's chest, a strange light flashed in Xuan Ziwen's eyes.

This guy is already a hot commodity in the industry, but no one would ever guess that he's only a level three Soul Master.
That makes sense, though. The ranking system of the Soul Masters was originally developed by the Sun Moon Empire, and we can't use a conventional framework to restrict geniuses from other places.

After all, the so-called Soul Master is essentially someone who uses Soul Guidance Array to create Soul Guidance Devices. Soul Power is a necessity, so every Soul Master is a high-level Soul Master. However, Lin You's theoretical system is more like a qualitative change in scientific research, telling people that you don't need to increase your Soul Power level to create something unique.

It's almost fair to say that this will be of immeasurable benefit to the future. The more we get stuck in the dead end of the Soul Master and Soul Instructor systems, the narrower our path becomes, making it impossible to fully popularize technology. What's the difference between that and a toy? How can this possibly drive the world forward?

Damn it, a Level 3 Soul Master badge, I suggest you just throw it away. This thing doesn't reflect your importance at all.

"Sigh, that's fine. Keep this card safe. You'll need it to enter this place and to use this lab table numbered 1238 in the future." Xuan Ziwen pointed to the table.

After swiping the card, a row of densely packed buttons lit up under the lab table. At first glance, there were at least fifty of them, each with a small icon and a different color.

These buttons correspond to different materials used to make soul tools. Pressing them will produce the corresponding metal. The amount of material produced varies depending on its rarity, and each metal platform has a certain quota for a certain period of time.

"I feel that His Highness Prince Qian is more generous," Lin You said with a strange expression.

Prince Qian: Damn it, when there's something to gain, call on His Highness; when there's nothing to gain, call on Old Deng. You dog!

"Uh..." Xuan Ziwen pursed his lips, forcing himself not to laugh, after recalling Lin You's impressive record over the past two days.

But how could one possibly resist something so funny?
"Haha. Cough cough, I didn't expect you to have such a high status at Shrek Academy, even preparing to start a war. But, I suggest there shouldn't be a next time, otherwise the royal family will definitely be determined to get rid of you first. You can't die."

At this point, Xuan Ziwen's expression turned serious.

Indeed, bluffing tactics are only effective once. Using them too often will only breed resentment, or even embolden people to act rashly. "You want to start a war? Fine, then I'll strike first."

"Well, this kind of situation won't happen again," Lin You chuckled.

But in reality, he was thinking that the overall situation was about to change. During this time, the Snow Emperor was gathering intelligence, and it was likely that there would be a major move between the three kingdoms soon. However, he had not received any definite information about the extent of this move.

Could they be planning to bomb Mingde Hall?

Please don't do something like that, or you'll get me killed too.

Soon, Xuan Ziwen left.

Normally, his teacher should have assigned Lin You some research topics first, and then let him play around and do his research on his own.

But right now, it's the opposite. Lin You gave Xuan Ziwen a research topic, and then Xuan Ziwen left satisfied.

On the contrary, it belongs to Tiangang.

Once everyone was gone, Lin You finally had time to study the situation and try to sense whether Xue Di was there.

However, the space here is large, and it seems to have some kind of shielding effect, so this action had no effect at all.

"Tsk, I can't get in touch with Xue Di. Looks like I'll have to wait. Oh well, let's play around for now. I might as well study the properties of the metals here and then print some money. Normal gold mining is nowhere near as fast as printing money." After thinking for a while, Lin You decided to start making some small toys.

In the afternoon, at Mingde Hall.

After eating the lunch delivered by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's canteen, Lin You fiddled with the experimental table for a while. Only after feeling that his soul power had penetrated into all the surrounding areas, and even the deepest secret experimental area No. 1 could not stop his penetration, did he slowly stop and nod in satisfaction.

I see, I understand now.

The Mingde Hall is indeed vast; even with my martial spirit control, I couldn't fully perceive its entirety.

However, the scan is almost complete now. All I can say is that, compared to the precision of mental power, Lin You has always felt that his kind of penetration is truly colorless, odorless, and formless.

Because as long as you open your senses, your martial spirit will naturally spread out, perceiving this world as if you are making some kind of wonderful connection.

He is the world.

That's what the Martial Soul told him.

As more and more martial soul elements awaken, the power that was originally insignificant is now gradually beginning to expand its influence.

With the intelligence provided by Xue Di, he now has a complete three-dimensional model in his mind of those so-called secret laboratories, research sites for humanoid soul guide devices, and warehouses storing level-nine fixed-position soul guide shells.

It's almost fair to say that with his copy, once the memory is replicated and the message is sent out, the reinforcements will find it easier to enter Mingde Hall than to stroll through their own backyard.

After sitting idly for a while, Lin You took out some metal materials and began to try out some experiments.

He took a piece of mithril, which was silvery-white and very light, as if it were floating on cotton. However, it was very hard, more than three times the hardness of ordinary metals, and had excellent conductivity. Apart from being difficult to mine, it could almost be called a noble metal. It was the same type as adamantite and was in high demand among all soul tools.

"Let's see if we can give it an oxidized state and see if anything changes?" For a moment, Lin You was excited, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

The next moment, as his martial soul power manifested, his originally silvery-white appearance was gradually covered with a hazy gray. This gray was like rust, or like a transformation between molecules. In just a short while, it dried up completely and lost its bright and shiny appearance.

Seeing this, Lin You seemed to be deep in thought, then waved his hand to remove all the oxidation.

Metal oxidation is the process by which a metal reacts chemically with oxygen or other oxidizing agents. Essentially, metal atoms lose electrons and are oxidized to form metal oxides.

This process not only affects the appearance and properties of metals, but may also cause structural damage or functional failure.

Moreover, from the sensation just now, it can be clearly felt that this oxidation is not only corroding the surface, but also greatly damaging the internal soul guidance array. After all, the soul guidance array is essentially a stable channel for the flow of soul power, and if this channel is damaged or affected, then the soul guidance array will lose its effect.

Even more terrifying is that if this is suddenly disrupted during the flow of soul power, it could cause a secondary explosion.

Just like how oxidation of electronic components in precision devices can lead to poor contact, the soul power array is even more precious, which is why it requires double protection—inner shell, outer shell, and outer layer. And right now, his method has clearly broken through this protection limit.

The periodic table, oxygen—it's terrifying.
"Another way to fight against Soul Masters. Hehe, I really want to know what dumbfounded expressions they'll have when they see all their Soul Tools fail. What's the point of playing with Soul Tools? Let's have some hand-to-hand combat."
