Douluo Continent II: You're an evil spirit master, but also a philanthropist?

into the night.

The bright moon hangs high.

The experimental area remained brightly lit.

The lower floors, in particular, were packed with people.

"They...aren't they going to the welcome party?" Xu Cheng's lips twitched.

Judging from the school uniform labels, at least half of the people here, more than three hundred, are first-year students.

"That's normal. Everyone wants to be the king of cheating, secretly cheating for a whole semester, and then amaze everyone." Xiao Hongchen waved his hand dismissively. "Believe it or not, many people were joking with each other this morning, saying whoever cheated was a coward and would definitely go to the welcome party to see the pretty girls, but tonight they all bumped into each other here by coincidence..."

“What’s there to roll up? Really…” Xu Cheng frowned.

"You have no right to talk about others. I've figured it out. You're the biggest 'scroll king' in the new level!" Xiao Hongchen said disdainfully.

As he spoke, Xiao Hongchen walked to a metal door, flipped his hand, and a silver card appeared in his hand.

"Ding! Level 3 card, identity: Xiao Hongchen, verification successful!"

"Buzz!"

The metal door slowly opened.

It's a simple elevator.

The two of them stepped into it.

The interior and exterior weren't entirely made of metal; there was also a layer of glass. As the metal elevator rose, Xu Cheng could clearly see his field of vision gradually widening, with the bustling experimental area below reflected in his crimson pupils.

Several students caught a glimpse of themselves and their eyes lit up with envy...

During the daytime classes.

Lin Jiayi once said that first and second-level Soul Masters can only conduct experiments at the first level. Of course, the equipment there is more than enough to provide experiments for these two levels of Soul Masters.

Above that, on the second floor, is the experimental grounds for third and fourth-level Soul Masters.

As for Soul Masters above Level 5, they are mostly graduates, similar to those in the previous life's university, joining the laboratory of a Mingde Hall lecturer to conduct research, and no longer need to come to the laboratory building...

"Buzz!"

Accompanied by a metallic sound.

The door is opened.

In terms of openness, this area appears much more spacious compared to the dense layout of the first floor.

Furthermore, the experimental area appears to be sealed with metal partitions, making it impossible to see inside from the outside, thus ensuring excellent privacy, and the space is also significantly more spacious.

Step into a control panel.

Xu Cheng examined it closely, feeling the texture of the metal. Clearly, in terms of hardness alone, it was far superior to the workbench on the first floor. Moreover, the cutting of the metal molds and the equipment of the connecting links were also much better in terms of materials.

“Here, these are level one soul tools. These core formations were carved by me when I enrolled. According to your requirements, they are the most basic type, including ranged soul tools and melee soul tools.”

"Regarding the fixed-equipment soul guide, it must be at least level three, and the same goes for the space system, the core formation of the milk bottle..."

Xiao Hongchen waved his hand dismissively.

On the control panel, seven or eight metal cores appeared.

"Thanks, haha."

Xu Cheng nodded.

"No problem, if there's nothing else, I'm off to the welcome party..." Xiao Hongchen waved casually and turned to leave.

Xu Cheng focused his gaze on the control panel.

You can't get fat in one bite. Even if he has extraordinary mental strength and possesses the [Analysis] method, he must start from the basics and understand the operating rules of these most basic formations before steadily progressing.

Besides, the pressure is self-imposed.

The final boss, Tang Shenwang, may seem to have absolute power in the God Realm, but in reality, he is greatly constrained.

At least before his destruction and death, he didn't dare to be too reckless. Otherwise, Dou Er wouldn't have had such a subtle plan, with much of it done through the hands of Da Ming and Er Ming of the Haotian Sect...

There are still three or four years before the story begins, which is plenty of time.

"Get going, get going!"

Xu Cheng rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

Pick up a piece of metal at random and start analyzing it...

"Soul Guiding Sword, a level one melee soul guiding device. The user injects soul power into the handle, activates the array core, and then unleashes power far exceeding that of ordinary soul masters. It is of average difficulty to master."

"Soul Guiding Ray, a level one long-range soul tool. When infused with soul power, it emits annihilation matter in a straight line that can penetrate the enemy's defenses."

"..."

I do not know how long it has been.

Xu Cheng stopped what he was doing and examined the several soul tools on the control panel.

They were all made by my own hands.

Although they are all the lowest-level, first-class soul tools, I feel a great sense of accomplishment.

"Long-range soul tools, due to their limited range, have their power greatly restricted..."

Xu Cheng picked up a long-range soul-guided cannon and casually played with it.

Why are ranged soul tools less powerful than melee weapons at the same level?

The principle of conservation of energy also applies in this world. Melee soul tools are used by melee soul masters and are designed for close-range combat. Ranged soul tools, on the other hand, require the energy to be emitted first. Similarly, the power decreases as the distance increases.

If you hold the cannon barrel and fire it close to the enemy's face, the power will be almost the same as a melee attack.

In the analysis just now.

Xu Cheng could see it clearly as well.

Within the core formation, the ranged soul tool has one more rune than the melee soul tool, and that rune is what distinguishes the two: firing.

The rune is not complicated, but its length indicates the maximum range.

The optimal balance between energy drive and range needs to be found; otherwise, even a slight increase or decrease will prevent the soul tool from activating.

Perhaps this is why most people need more than a year to advance to the first level of a soul tool...

That is to say, Xu Cheng's mental strength is extremely strong, coupled with his analytical abilities, which is why he was able to do it so easily.

Subsequently, Xu Cheng lost interest in further research.

Regarding tracking and positioning technology.

They're probably working on that "launch" rune; at least for now, they can't figure out anything from these level-one soul tools...

"Owner."

A soft voice sounded from the side.

Xu Cheng was startled.

"Nana...when did you arrive?"

"Right, right after Master left?" A beautiful young woman with wheat-colored skin, a ponytail, and a tall figure smiled as she skillfully tidied up the metal scraps and put some instruments back in their place.

"Sigh, you really are a... ghost." Xu Cheng sighed and rubbed his forehead.

Since joining the Holy Spirit Cult and becoming a Holy Son five years ago, the first thing he did was to rescue Nana.

In the original story, it was because his mother awakened the Ghost Martial Soul that she was encountered by the Holy Spirit Cult while hunting for Soul Rings. Due to the reason for the Martial Soul, the Holy Spirit Cult tried to recruit her, but she refused. So the branch leader brainwashed and controlled her. However, because of her father, his mother would sometimes break through the control. The Holy Spirit Cult then sent his mother to kill his father in order to completely sever the bond in her heart.

But after killing her father, his mother woke up and committed suicide out of love...

Unfortunately,

By the time Xu Cheng arrived, this scene had already unfolded.

At that time, the branch altar master took away the souls of his parents.

Only a little girl, terrified, was left, clinging to her parents' corpses and wailing.

After that, all Xu Cheng could do was release the souls of her parents and keep the little girl by his side...

Chapter 14 Ghost Nana

"I am a ghost..." the girl chuckled, her figure flashing to Xu Cheng's side, skillfully taking his arm. "Master, I just broke through to level 27 yesterday, and I'll be catching up with you soon."

"Level 27, huh?" A strange light flashed in Xu Cheng's eyes.

In the original work, Nana was already a level 54 Soul King and a peak level 5 Soul Master when she was seventeen years old, which shows her extraordinary talent.

Even on the entire continent, they would definitely rank among the top.

Now, with Xu Cheng allocating resources to them, their strength is naturally increasing even faster...

"But... how did you get up here?" Xu Cheng was completely bewildered. It was Xiao Hongchen who helped him open the door.

"I'm from the Real Control Soul Guidance Department. Although I enrolled today, I've already obtained my Level 3 Soul Guidance Certificate." Nana puffed out her chest with a hint of joy, a triangular crystal tag pinned to it.

Forgot about that...
