Douluo: The Peerless Tang Sect - The Ordinary Life of a Supporting Character

Chapter 64 The Backward Sun and Moon Empire

Perhaps because Wu Ming was too famous in the inner courtyard, the result of Wang Nan's battle with her spread throughout the inner courtyard in less than half a day.

The ranking list of the inner academy was changed on the very second day. Thanks to his battle with Wu Ming, Wang Nan jumped to fifteenth place in the inner academy. Now, most of the inner academy disciples ahead of him are inner academy disciples with the cultivation of Soul Douluo or Soul Saint.

Fortunately, not everyone witnessed the battle, so many inner court disciples did not know what Wang Nan looked like, which meant he didn't attract too much attention when he went out.

Wang Nan arrived at the Inner Court's Soul Guidance Department, and as soon as he entered, he saw Ye Xiaosheng mysteriously approaching him. As an official contestant in the Soul Battle Tournament a few years later, Ye Xiaosheng had also successfully entered the Inner Court.

"Hello, Senior Brother Wang," Ye Xiaosheng greeted in a strange manner.

Hearing Ye Xiaosheng's words, Wang Nan couldn't help but smile. The two had interacted quite a bit back in the outer courtyard, but now that they were in the inner courtyard, Ye Xiaosheng's address of "senior brother" sounded more like a joke.

Although Lin Xiao, who made the soul-guided propulsion device for Wang Nan, passed the sixth-grade upgrade assessment, she still failed to enter the inner academy. After that, Wang Nan would consult Ye Xiaosheng about anything related to soul-guided devices.

Wang Nan's cultivation has now reached the Soul King level, and he is no longer satisfied with the speed of his level three soul tool.

"Alright, stop joking around, help me take a look at this." Wang Nan said, taking out the soul-guided thruster he always wore.

"Ah, I remember that. You used this thing to catch up with me in a flash and defeat me." Ye Xiaosheng looked at the soul-guided thruster over and over, a hint of emotion in his voice. "But it doesn't seem to have any problems. What do you need to check?"

"See if you can help me upgrade it, or make another one in this shape, preferably at the level of a level 5 soul tool."

Ye Xiaosheng glanced at Wang Nan and said, "Simply increasing speed is not difficult, but you should know that the stronger the thrust of the soul-guided thruster, the more it tests your physical strength. Otherwise, you probably won't be able to withstand even a slight acceleration."

Wang Nan nodded. Although he had never learned how to make soul tools, he still knew some of the basics.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

"Sigh, sometimes I really envy you Soul Masters. Don't be fooled by my current status as a Level 5 Soul Master. Without the boost from Soul Skills, I would have to be extremely careful when using this Level 3 Soul Guidance Propulsion Device." Ye Xiaosheng put away Wang Nan's Soul Guidance Propulsion Device.

"Upgrading this soul-guided thruster is definitely better than making a new one. After all, you've used it for so long, you probably won't be able to fully adapt to a new soul-guided device in a short time. Just leave it here with me for now, and I'll come find you after the upgrade is complete."

"Alright, then I'll wait for your good news." Wang Nan nodded, then suddenly remembered something else, "How's the research on that soul beam I told you about last time going?"

Ye Xiaosheng shook his head. "You only told me its effects. I can't recreate it just by using this. Besides, from what you said, it can track targets and has considerable power. It sounds like it's in the range of a level seven soul tool. Even if you put its prototype in front of me, I might not be able to figure it out."

"And it's not just me; even the teachers at the academy would have a hard time making the kind of soul tool you're talking about. Where exactly did you see that kind of soul tool? You didn't go to the Sun Moon Empire, did you?"

Ye Xiaosheng looked at Wang Nan with some confusion.

Wang Nan had told Ye Xiaosheng about the Soul Light Ray used by the Soul Douluo who had chased Dai Yueheng last time. Now, according to Ye Xiaosheng, that Soul Douluo should be from the Sun Moon Empire.

Could it be that Duke Baihu fought too fiercely on the battlefield between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire, so the Sun Moon Empire sought revenge on Duke Baihu's children?

"I didn't see him in the Sun Moon Empire." Wang Nan shook his head and said no more.

"That's good. The Sun Moon Empire has never been very friendly to our Shrek disciples." Ye Xiaosheng didn't ask any further questions, but changed the subject and talked about other things. "However, I tried to make some of the other soul tool you mentioned."

As Ye Xiaosheng spoke, he took out a soul tool that looked rather strange. At the front was a piece of rare metal that Wang Nan did not recognize, with two dials fixed on it. One was somewhat similar to a compass, and the other had some markings on it.

"This is the initial soul-guided detector I completed based on your ideas. It can detect soul power fluctuations within a one-kilometer radius. You can see the direction and approximate distance of the soul power source from these two dials."

Ye Xiaosheng sighed, "The kind of detection-type soul tool you mentioned is actually not difficult to make. The only difficult part is this rare metal that is sensitive to soul power. It's just that no one would use a soul tool in this way like you."

"This is the most proper way to use it, okay?" Wang Nan glanced down; the pointer was swinging incessantly, but its general direction was pointing towards the Soul Guidance System's Soul Guidance Device testing area. It was clear that the Soul Power fluctuations were strongest in the Soul Guidance Testing Area.

On the Douluo Continent, apart from spirit-type soul masters who can use the skill of spirit detection, other soul masters rarely have the ability to sense the fluctuations of soul power in unknown areas in advance.

Wang Nan could sense his surroundings to some extent with his powerful mental strength, but it wasn't as effective as that of a mental-type soul master, and it was also very energy-consuming. If this kind of detection-type soul tool could be upgraded, he wouldn't be completely clueless about some unknown areas.

"This is the initial version. I'll find a way to upgrade it to make its detection range larger and the detection results more accurate."

"No rush, take your time. By the way, no one else knows about this, right?" Wang Nan asked.

"What do you take me for?" Ye Xiaosheng's expression was somewhat exaggerated. "Every Soul Master's unique Soul Tool is top secret. Although you are not a Soul Master, I have already treated you as one. I will absolutely not spread your unique ideas."

Wang Nan and Ye Xiaosheng had known each other for a long time, so Wang Nan naturally knew his character. Although he was a bit of a rascal, he was quite responsible. Otherwise, Wang Nan wouldn't have entrusted him with the task of making the soul tool.

In fact, Wang Nan had many more ingenious ideas. Once Ye Xiaosheng's Soul Master level was higher, he planned to have Ye Xiaosheng help him create a Soul Guide Detector that could be remotely controlled and capture images.

In Wang Nan's opinion, the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided detectors still require soul masters to sit inside and operate them, which is still too outdated.
