Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 96 Qian Renxue's Wondrous Ideas?

"A vortex? Absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy?" The little angel frowned. "Wouldn't that become... a perpetual motion machine?"

After thinking for a moment, she uttered the word.

"That shouldn't be the case. There's always a limit. But having that thing should make things much easier in battles and training." The little devil understood what the little angel meant by perpetual motion machine.

"Okay, I understand." The little angel nodded and then continued her soul guidance exploration.

About an hour later.

"That's about it." Qian Renxue finished her drawing.

She looked at everything she had written down; over the past few days, she had compiled nearly ten pages of notes and reflections.

"The runes on these soul cores..." she pondered for a moment, "...are somewhat similar to the patterns on soul rings?"

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something.

Sometimes a flash of inspiration happens in an instant, and what you realize in that instant can far exceed the sum of all your previous efforts.

Soul Masters' Soul Skills come from Soul Rings and Soul Bones, with Soul Rings being the most important source. The reason why Soul Rings can trigger Soul Skills is because of the patterns attached to them.

If the runes in the core array of the soul guide are similar to the patterns in the soul ring, it could explain the origin of the various abilities of the soul guide device.

If Qian Renxue could put some thought into the runes in the Soul Guidance Core and infuse them with her own understanding, she could create a Soul Guidance Device that is uniquely her own!

It was as if a closed window had been opened, and a completely new idea appeared in her mind.

She took out a metal object from her storage soul tool, a soul tool core she had brought back from the laboratory. She solidified the small object for a moment, then began to conceive of ideas.

This time, instead of carving it directly with a carving knife, she attached a little bit of angelic soul power to the carving knife.

As she slowly lowered her knife, she recalled the small pistol that had once appeared in Shen Yuanyi's hand, capable of emitting soul-guided rays.

That small pistol is a simple level-two soul tool. The soul-guided rays it emits can only penetrate. If one adds their own understanding, could they inject the dissolving effect of angel soul power into it?

Inscribing a level-two soul guidance array was no problem for her at all. This afternoon, she tried inscribing other soul guidance core arrays, including charging, acceleration, compression, and so on.

True geniuses are multifaceted, not just in Soul Master cultivation. When Qian Renxue infused her Soul Master cultivation insights into her Soul Tool, a completely new path unfolded before her.

She wasn't the first to have this idea. In fact, paralyzing soul guide rays, encouragement rays, and the like were the domain of a select few, all of whom were genius-level soul guide masters. After they left behind entirely new soul guide runes, these became the methods for creating later soul guide devices.

In this world, most soul tools are actually just simple devices that use rays or cannonballs to bombard. If you add your own understanding to them, you can leave your own patent in the Sun Moon Empire.

However, Qian Renxue was so outstanding that she immediately grasped this crucial point after coming into contact with soul tools. Most soul tool masters need guidance from their teachers to understand this, because they don't know how their martial soul abilities can be integrated with soul tools; they are simply repeating the research results of their predecessors.

Qian Renxue played with the core in her hand for a moment, then shook her head slightly.

This thing is still too fragile and cannot support its own angelic soul power. After racking its brains, it only managed to get a little bit of angelic aura on the soul guide core.

"What if I could stuff this thing into the Blue Demon?" she pondered for a moment.

Swah——

She drew the Azure Ghost Soul-Guiding Blade, a level-three soul-guiding device with the ability to absorb an opponent's soul power and replenish it. In the Little Devil's words, this thing was less than one percent of her current spider legs.

Because the little devil's spider legs can also devour life force... and even souls, it is completely inherited from its mother, the Soul-Eating Spider Queen.

"No, it won't fit." She compared the soul guide core with the core in the Blue Demon, but couldn't replace it. It seems she'll have to try making one herself later.

She put away her soul guide core and longsword, and called out to Shen Yuanyi, "Little fox, I'm hungry!"

"Don't you know what time it is? The food is getting cold." Shen Yuanyi helplessly handed Qian Renxue's food to her.

"Have you ever heard of working so hard you forget to eat and sleep? Your cooking is still the best." Qian Renxue casually heated up some of the food and then took a bite.

"Hmm, why does it taste worse than before?" She frowned. "Little fox, has your cooking skill deteriorated?"

"Oh? Really?" the little fox exclaimed in surprise. "Should I make you a new one?"

"Alright, alright, stop bullying them." The little devil pouted. "Even the most exquisite delicacies turn into this after being filtered through your fire."

"Hehe, just teasing her. Don't you think Shen Yuanyi is just a pushover?" The little angel smiled slyly.

"You still have a long way to go and a heavy responsibility to bear!" Qian Renxue said solemnly, patting Shen Yuanyi on the shoulder.

Like Xue Di, Shen Yuanyi was initially deceived by Qian Renxue's appearance, only realizing after some time that this young lady was actually a little liar.

Before Shen Yuanyi could say anything, she looked at Xue Di.

Hyotei wasn't in her dorm at the moment; she'd probably gone out. Qian Renxue didn't bother with her, as long as she didn't destroy the academy.

"What are you doing?" Xue Di felt a chill run down her spine as Qian Renxue stared at her. She felt as if Qian Renxue was looking at her like she was a dish.

"Um, I have a question for you," Qian Renxue said. "What was your soul power like when you were still a soul beast?"

"What is soul power?" Xue Di asked, somewhat confused. "Soul power is just soul power."

"No, no, no, it was when Hyotei exerted pressure on me before... it felt like her soul power and the little funnel were self-sufficient." Qian Renxue pondered her words for a moment, "It's a bit different from my soul power."

"Ah, you mean the soul core?" Xue Di understood.

"Soul Core?" Qian Renxue was taken aback. What was that? She had never heard of it before.

"You don't know about Soul Cores?" Xue Di was also stunned.

"Do you know?" Qian Renxue looked at Shen Yuanyi.

"I..." Shen Yuanyi thought for a moment, "It seems like I overheard the conversation between the teacher and the Dragon Offering once. They seemed to be talking about their understanding of this thing or something, but I didn't quite understand."

Xue Di seemed to remember something: "Ah, it's probably normal that you don't understand now. Because this is something that human Soul Masters only consider when they reach the Title Douluo level."

Regarding soul tools, in the setting of Douluo Continent II, there is something called a "natal soul tool". This kind of natal soul tool requires the soul master to integrate their understanding of the martial soul into the soul tool before making it.

For example, Kong Deming's natal soul tool is infused with his understanding of space from his Silver Moon Martial Soul. That's why he was able to suppress Xuanzi, the Limit Douluo, with his level 10 natal soul tool.

Take Ye Xishui for example. Her natal soul tool is an amplification of her own Blood Soul Demon Puppet martial soul. After Huo Yuhao blew up Mingdu, she absorbed the souls of the dead there, stepped into the level ten soul tool, and used it to fight against Di Tian's arrival and successfully escaped the battlefield. After all, Di Tian should have used the Dragon God Claw, a demigod-level combat method at that time.

Therefore, if Qian Renxue wants to create her own soul tool, it is a necessary process to infuse it with her understanding of the Angelic Martial Soul.

Secondly, regarding the runes on the Soul Guidance Core, this is the result of a discussion between the author and another author friend. The Soul Guidance Runes are derived from the patterns in the Soul Rings, thereby gaining some special enhancement abilities.
