Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 94 First Steps into Soul Guidance

In her previous life, Qian Renxue had seen soul guide cores. Taking the simplest storage soul guide as an example, it contained the simplest level one or level two core magic array.

She began to carefully ponder the wondrous arrays she had encountered in this life. If the core arrays used in storage soul tools were characterized by their simplicity, then these new arrays were gradually becoming more complex. However, her mental strength was sufficient to support her in understanding them.

For example, during her research, she discovered that the functions of the core magic arrays were different. In the Green Ghost Longsword, there were compression magic arrays, charging magic arrays, and so on.

She had already shattered the Conferred God Platform, but she kept the scattered fragments. Relying on her extraordinary memory, she was analyzing the structure of this advanced soul tool... Hmm, she had a little clue.

All she can do now is perform simple analysis, and this process is actually quite lengthy. Soon, a day and a night have passed.

In a timeline unknown to Qian Renxue, Tang Shenwang was also reborn. After being reincarnated as a child, his intelligence and comprehension seemed to decline. Perhaps the beings of the new world were not very intelligent either. After Tang Shenwang said something like, "As long as the ice blocks are turned into ice cones, the ice manipulation technique will have greater destructive power," his senior brother, who was hailed as having the "highest talent," admired him immensely.

To begin with, after Qian Renxue awoke from her meditation, she began sketching on a piece of paper, recording her understanding and structural analysis of the core magic array.

Time flew by, and the monthly break came to an end. Qian Renxue arrived at her beginner class. Her homeroom teacher's name was Tong Tingting, a level five Soul Master.

Lin Jiayi had told her before that there were no assigned seats in the class; whoever arrived first could sit in the front. Simply put, the learning environment in this college was relatively free; no one would force you to attend classes, but if you failed the assessment, you would be expelled.

The morning's soul guidance course was taught by this class teacher. Although Qian Renxue had learned about it beforehand, she still patiently studied it.

She learned that soul guidance technology was continuously developing in the Sun Moon Empire. About eight thousand years ago, the concept of soul guidance weapons was proposed. Since then, soul guidance devices were no longer just everyday items used in life, but gradually began to be used in war.

Generally speaking, soul-guided weapons are divided into two types: melee and ranged. Melee soul-guided weapons are, in a sense, very similar to some weapon spirits and possess some special abilities.

Long-range soul tools are similar to guns and cannons, using soul-guided rays as a means of attack, and also have some side effects. For example, she had heard that there are soul-guided paralysis rays, soul-guided destruction rays, and so on.

Actually, there is an even more special type of fixed soul tool, which Tong Tingting has not yet explained in this beginner class.

Noon arrived quickly. When Qian Renxue returned to her dormitory, she saw Shen Yuanyi and Xue Di meditating and cultivating, so she didn't disturb them. The two of them were clearly not very interested in soul tools. Xue Di had initially said she wanted to try them, but after seeing the blueprints Qian Renxue had drawn…

I've decided that it's more comfortable to focus on cultivating my soul master skills.

Qian Renxue could understand her idea, after all, she was a human transformed from a soul beast, so it was normal. Then she smiled and told her that it would be best to use some soul tools on a regular basis.

If I ever make something amazing in the future, I can let her use it too.

After casually eating some of the food that Shen Yuanyi had prepared in advance, she left the dormitory and went to the laboratory. The afternoons were usually spent making soul tools for the students.

She sat down at her lab bench, pondered for a moment, and then scratched her head.

Despite having analyzed some soul guide cores, she still didn't quite know where to begin when it came to actually doing it. It was like how she had read many storybooks in the Spirit Hall when she was a child, but it would be difficult for her to write stories herself.

Fortunately, she possessed immense mental and comprehension abilities, so she enveloped her mental energy around a classmate at the nearby experimental table, wanting to observe his production process. Everyone was currently only beginners, working with a simple level-one core magic array.

Qian Renxue was unaware that before she, the transfer student, arrived, the school had only been in session for less than a month. In the original Three Kingdoms period, a month would not have been enough for students to learn how to inscribe magic arrays; they would probably still be distinguishing rare metals and making simple components.

"Something feels off." She fiddled with the metal object in her hand, lost in thought.

Could it be that she'd made a mistake with her knife skills? Had she applied too much pressure while carving? That couldn't be right. She was confident in her knife and sword skills. Since she herself hadn't made any mistakes, the problem must lie with the classmate she'd just been observing.

She turned her head and saw that, sure enough, the classmate was also scratching his head.

"The problem must be here..." She thought carefully for a moment, "When carving, the lines should be carved deeper." She held the small carving knife in her hand, carving while carefully feeling the soul power fluctuations in the core.

"Clatter—"

"Huh?" Qian Renxue was stunned. This small piece of furniture had just shattered...

"This thing isn't durable, and its original toughness isn't enough," the little devil's voice came. "I think I understand what you're thinking; you need a stronger raw material."

The little angel nodded slightly, certain that she had done a good job of inscribing the patterns this time. Only in this way could the magic circle be activated when soul power was injected.

"Professor Lu, who is that student?" A teacher asked his partner on the laboratory podium.

Teacher Lu looked in that direction and then said softly, "Teacher Li, that student is a recommended student, personally recommended by Director Lin Jiayi. He only started classes today."

"A student recommended internally?" Teacher Li frowned. "She seems a little confused. I'll go check on her."

These two teachers are the instructors for the experimental classes. The course on making soul tools takes up more time than theoretical explanation, hence the arrangement of two teachers.

Teacher Li walked down and stood behind Qian Renxue. He didn't disturb her directly, but quietly watched her play with the metal block in her hand.

After finishing her conversation with the little devil, Qian Renxue gently tapped the table with her slender fingers. Then, as if she had thought of something, she drew her soul-guided longsword and cut off a small corner of the experimental table.

"...?" Teacher Li looked at the little girl in shock. He stepped forward, intending to tell her that she would have to pay for the damage.

"Shh—" Qian Renxue turned her head, put a finger to her lips, and blinked her bright eyes, "I will make it up to you."

When Teacher Li saw her eyes, she hesitated for a moment, then nodded and asked softly, "Could you tell me your thoughts?"

Qian Renxue leaned close to his ear and whispered, "The original material seems to be not sturdy enough; it breaks at the slightest touch. And I didn't have any other materials, and then I happened to find this table to be quite nice."

Teacher Li frowned, then waved her hand, signaling her to finish the experiment first.

Anyway, this girl was recommended by Lin Jiayi. If she can really come up with something good, it's acceptable if she breaks the table or something. At worst, we can just go to the director and extort some lab funding.

Qian Renxue lowered her head and used the Green Ghost Blade to cut off the corner of the table into several hexagonal metal blocks. In less than a minute, she had created several soul guide cores.

"He looks like a skilled knife user," Teacher Li thought to herself.

As a reborn "god", Qian Renxue naturally possesses a longer-term vision and unique ideas than ordinary people of this era.

Times are changing, but Qian Renxue's temperament and foresight allow her to quickly adapt to this new era. She is not someone who sticks to the old ways; on the contrary, her broad perspective allows her to see many of the problems of this era.

Moreover, by choosing to develop within the Sun and Moon Sect, she can grow more rapidly. Since she currently has no need for spirit rings or spirit bones, she doesn't need to consider the choice of hunting spirit beasts.

However, she will still go to Xingdou later, because the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is too tempting, and she has to win it over to her side. She will also use the auspicious beast line to continue to plan against Shrek Academy.

P.S. Auspicious beasts will not be sacrificed in this book.
