Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 180 Xuan Ziwen: Sigh, I have an idea, let's blow up Mingde Hall!
"Let's start with the most basic long-range soul tool, beginning with level five..."

In the empty firing range.

Xuan Ziwen recorded all the data.

Wearing a high-tech goggles, the system records the firing rate of the Level 5 Soul Guidance Cannon, the pre-firing delay in milliseconds, and the degree of power decay at different ranges.

Su Wen was astonished.

It's true that professionals do professional things.

"Next!"

Xuan Ziwen stared at the data for a moment, then nodded to Su Wen.

So, in the empty shooting range, the two conducted one test after another for a whole morning.

The integration of soul tools and metal forging has also taken its first step from a state of complete ignorance, and the information database is gradually becoming more comprehensive.

"Boom~!!"

As a wisp of black smoke rose from the dark metal barrel of the Level 8 Soul Guidance Cannon, the high-level target in the distance was also blasted into fragments and scattered everywhere. Su Wen put it into his storage ring and came to Xuan Ziwen's side.

The latter's eyes were somewhat vacant.

"call……"

After a long while, he finally let out a soft breath.

"For an eighth-level long-range soul-guided cannon, the amplification of a hundred-times-forged metal is only 1.5 times, and the amplification of a thousand-times-forged metal is 2.3 times. There's no need to try the ninth level, of course, neither of us can make a ninth-level soul-guided device."

"It seems that as the level of the soul tool increases, the performance that can be improved by forging metal is gradually decreasing. It is estimated that after a thousand forgings to level nine, the performance improvement will only be 1.5 times, or even 1.3 or 1.4 times," Su Wen said with a frown.

"No! You can't calculate it like that!" Xuan Ziwen's eyes were bloodshot as he exclaimed excitedly, "To be able to amplify an eighth-level soul tool by more than two times is already quite terrifying! If, if it could amplify a ninth-level soul tool by one and a half times, that would be every ninth-level soul tool master's dream! Do you know how difficult it is to increase power even a little bit after reaching the ninth level?!"

"Since it's so effective, haven't the Soul Masters of your Sun Moon Empire tried it?" Su Wen raised an eyebrow.

"It's laughable..." Xuan Ziwen sighed, "The Sun Moon Empire is too fanatical about Soul Masters. Countless people take becoming a Soul Master as their life goal, but only Soul Masters. As a result, unlike the original continent where a hundred flowers bloom, it doesn't have such a rich foundation. Not to mention Divine Craftsmen, even blacksmiths who can forge a thousand times are almost extinct."

"You can forge a thousand times, and even forge it into a spiritual state, which truly amazes me."

"If I could forge, or even soul forge, wouldn't you be blown up?" Su Wen said with a smile.

"Don't be ridiculous... How could that be..." Xuan Ziwen shook his head casually as if he had heard a fantasy.

But the scene remained quiet.

Xuan Ziwen froze, swallowed hard, and slowly turned his head to look at Su Wen, who was smiling and staring at him without saying a word.

"You're not... serious, are you?!"

"..."

"It really feels like the soul tool has come to life!" Xuan Ziwen was as excited as a child. It wasn't until he tried it himself that he realized the feel of using the soul tool after soul forging was completely different from before.

The flow of soul power seemed to become instantly smoother and easier, the loss of soul power decreased dramatically, and the entire soul tool seemed to come alive as if it had a life of its own...

"This is a characteristic that only natal soul tools possess," Xuan Ziwen exclaimed in amazement.

"The product after soul forging is indeed extraordinary," Su Wen remarked with rare emotion.

This level eight long-range soul guidance array core was disassembled from the previous one. After being combined with the metal shell forged by soul forging, it underwent a complete transformation, roaring wildly. Su Wen could even hear a hint of excitement in the huge roar. What kind of miserable days had he been living before... This crappy configuration was simply not enough to carry it.

But today, it seems to have unleashed its full power.

"It can improve an eighth-level soul tool by 4.3 times, a pure boost!" Xuan Ziwen gasped for breath, his excitement barely contained.

"This power is already comparable to a weaker level nine soul-guided cannon!"

"What if it were applied to a level nine soul tool?"

“Even… a humanoid soul tool?!” Xuan Ziwen gasped.

Within the Sun Moon Empire, humanoid soul guides are a core theme for the next few decades. This matter is highly classified, but as a special-grade teacher at Mingde Hall, he naturally knew about it and had even come into contact with some of its secrets.

"You don't shy away from me?" Su Wen asked with a smile.

“No need…” Xuan Ziwen shook his head with difficulty.

"Actually, I'd really like to try combining the metal forged by the master craftsman with the soul-guiding array."

Clearly, he simply couldn't refuse the conditions Su Wen had offered...

“However, the battle armor you mentioned…” Xuan Ziwen pondered, “To be honest, there are too many technical difficulties to overcome. Most importantly, in the Sun Moon Empire, humanoid soul tools are still considered core. Even Hall Master Jing Hongchen would have to go through layers of review if he wanted to borrow one, let alone disassemble it on a large scale. If he returned it afterward, they would definitely review it.”

"Is it difficult to get a brand new one?"

"It's more than just difficult."

“Unless we need external help.” Xuan Ziwen glanced at Su Wen, who also looked at him, and the corners of their mouths unconsciously turned up.

It looks exactly like the meme of Sun Wukong and Laozi exchanging a knowing smile.

"I won't go into details, you definitely know what's what. As for the secret location of the humanoid soul tool, I'll give you an answer in a week. Finding out about it isn't difficult, but the challenge lies in how to fish in troubled waters afterward. I'm terrible at combat, so I'll have to rely on you..." Xuan Ziwen frowned.

"For me, fighting isn't difficult; the difficult part is getting the map," Su Wen grinned.

Their eyes met, and thankfully they didn't burst out laughing.

Sure enough, when two men get together, they always quickly divide the tasks, especially when they're preparing to do something naughty...

"Okay, wait for my news."

Xuan Ziwen touched his face, suppressing his smile, and hurriedly left the laboratory.

After cleaning up the marks from the shooting range, Su Wen headed towards the dormitory.

I mentally reviewed the test data from earlier.

The improvement that metal forging brings to soul tools is visible to the naked eye, and the metal after soul forging, when used to adapt to a level 5 soul tool, has its power increased sevenfold! This is absolutely a groundbreaking discovery that could overturn the world of soul tools. Even if the Sun Moon Empire knew about it in advance, he would not be afraid in the slightest.

The more talented blacksmiths are all from the original continent.

The master craftsman at Shrek.

What good is knowing? All we can do is worry.

Are blacksmiths so easy to train? Of course, ordinary blacksmiths are, but to advance to the level of master blacksmiths, one needs a master to guide them. If it were easy to figure things out on one's own, there wouldn't be so many apprentices in blacksmith shops.

Just as Su Wen was in a good mood and was about to swipe his card to enter the dormitory,

The door opened automatically.

A tall, tanned girl dressed in a maid outfit smiled and placed her hand on her abdomen, bending slightly to reveal her deep, cleavage-like valley.

"Master, welcome home!"

Su Wen: "..."

……

"Please change your shoes first."

Nana bent down and placed the slippers beside Su Wen. Seeing his stiff posture and a smile on his lips, she squatted down, lifted both feet one by one, gently took off the shoes, and then stuffed them into the soft slippers.

He then pulled Su Wen to the table.

A sumptuous meal was laid out.

"Well……"

Su Wen tried a piece, and it was surprisingly good.

It's not a culinary disaster.

It was only evening.

In the bedroom.

Su Wen looked at Nana, who had already crawled into bed, only her smooth arms showing, and his lips twitched slightly: "Actually, warming the bed is..."

“You said it yourself this morning, that this is an essential skill for your maid,” Nana said earnestly.

Su Wen: "..."

Does this count as shooting oneself in the foot?

"Come on up." Nana's pretty face, which had been serious all day, finally flushed slightly, revealing a corner of the blanket.

Her beautiful figure was partially revealed.

If Ma Xiaotao is a ripe peach, then Nana is like a wild female leopard. Although she has wheat-colored skin, she is healthy and possesses a natural allure that attracts men. Even through the blankets, her features are clearly visible.

"There's one last step~" Nana licked her red lips, revealing a seductive smile.

"Huff..." Su Wen took a deep breath.

His temper was also flared up a bit.

He then lunged forward.

The softness and the delicate fragrance that filled his nostrils fueled his desire, making a sleepless night inevitable...

……

Time flies.

Several days passed quickly.

Xuan Ziwen also brought back accurate information: the Sun Moon Empire's latest humanoid soul guide device is stored in an underground armory east of Mingdu. Su Wen, however, has not yet notified the Body Sect.

I plan to do something else after I return from the Demon Forest.

Indeed, Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena had finished dealing with matters in the Star Dou Great Forest and arrived late.

The Body Sect was truly useful. Fortunately, Elder Mu didn't intervene and directly suppressed it; otherwise, where could one find such a good tool?

Demonic forest.

The further you go in, the more towering trees you see, but these trees also reveal a strange quality.

The branches are twisted and bizarrely shaped.

It seems to be influenced by the true master of the Demon Forest, the Evil Eye Tyrant.

"Even if you invite me, it might not give me face," Gu Yuena said softly on the way.

"Strictly speaking, it doesn't actually belong to this continent, but with me around, at least your life is safe."

"In fact, the Sun Moon Empire owes much of its achievements in soul tools to the Evil Emperor. Before the Evil Emperor came to this plane, the people of the Sun Moon Empire were still living in primitive conditions. Of course, the Sun Moon Empire also regarded it as its national totem. The national emblem of the Sun Moon Empire that you see now is its microcosm."

"..."

"If I take the Evil Emperor away, will the people of the Sun Moon Empire go crazy?" Su Wen raised an eyebrow and asked.

"After all, it's a source of spiritual sustenance."

"I don't know about that." Gu Yuena shrugged. "However, according to my perception, the Evil Emperor's abilities contain a trace of spatial power, which he displayed in his battle with Di Tian. Even Di Tian was not well affected by that attack and it took him a long time to recover. If you can capture it, I'm quite curious to see in which direction it will advance."

"Purely spiritual attribute, similar to Tianmeng?"

"Or is it... the power of spacetime that even I dream of?"
