In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 246 As Expected, Lou Gao Amazed by Soul Guidance Device Technology

Lou Gao probably didn't even notice that the soul-guided pistol he was holding had some damage to its internal soul-guided magic array.

But Lin Hai, having been in contact with soul tools for so long, coupled with his outstanding mental strength, how could he not see it!

However, Lin Hai was very satisfied with the soul tool he designed and created, especially since the tester was a Soul Saint.

Even his soul-guided pistol couldn't withstand Lou Gao's powerful soul force. There are benefits to constantly forging iron.

Although this soul-guided pistol is quite powerful, it still can't withstand the soul power of a high-level soul master.

……

"No rush, senior, we haven't tried this one yet!" Lin Hai's cold face turned to another soul tool in his hand.

"And what's this? I was just about to ask you, what is this thing that looks like a stick?"

"Senior, this soul tool is called a fixed-installation soul tool."

"What is a fixed-installation soul tool?"

"A fixed-position soul tool is a soul tool that uses special soul power projectiles to fire non-soul tool ammunition. Since soul tools are only used for firing and detonation, they consume far less energy than energy soul tools."

"Wait a minute, kid, tell me about this soul tool you're talking about first." Lou Gao was still a bit confused by Lin Hai's explanation and wanted to hear Lin Hai's definition of an attack soul tool first.

Lin Hai: "I have always had different opinions about soul tools."

"Weapons are tools, and soul tools are tools. Since weapons can be used to attack and kill, why can't soul tools be used? Why can't soul tools be used only for auxiliary attacks in daily life?"

"I have conducted a completely new study on soul tools. In my preliminary theory, I have divided soul tools into two categories, mainly close-range soul tools and long-range soul tools. Close-range soul tools are similar to the weapons we usually use. After being activated by soul power, they can unleash even stronger weapons."

"Relatively speaking, within a certain range, close-range soul tools are more powerful. Ranged soul tools, on the other hand, are soul tools that launch ranged attacks by injecting soul power. The more powerful the soul tool, the more soul power it requires. In other words, the higher the cultivation level of a soul master, the higher the grade of soul tool they can use."

Lou Gao became more and more excited as he listened. This was truly a completely new direction. Even though Lin Hai had briefly mentioned such soul tools before, Lou Gao realized after hearing Lin Hai's complete definition of these soul tools that this young man named Lin Hai had really taken a completely new path and had also conducted in-depth research on it.

Lin Hai continued, "The fixed-position soul tool was inspired by bows and arrows. It is designed for ranged attacks, but it does not require a large amount of soul power."

Of course, these were all just polite words from Lin Hai. He said that the inspiration came from bows and arrows, but he simply copied and pasted it, and of course, he also referenced his memories from his previous life.

"Simply put, a fixed-mount soul tool is a soul tool and an attack weapon that are separated into two parts. The soul tool only serves to launch and detonate, and the fixed-mount soul tool cannon in my hand is for launching the projectile."

"The biggest advantage of a fixed-position soul tool is that it consumes very little soul power and does not require a high level of cultivation to use. However, its drawback is that it is difficult to locate, especially against moving targets, making it particularly difficult to hit."

"But against stationary targets, its power is immense. However, the shells are very troublesome to manufacture and require a lot of precious materials. In my imagination, a fixed-position soul tool could theoretically increase a soul master's attack power tenfold. However, the power of a fixed-position soul tool also has its limits, as it is affected by the materials used. Therefore, it is destined to be equipped only by a very small number of soul masters who are suitable for using it."

"How about it? Want to give it a try, Senior Lou Gao?"

As Lin Hai spoke, he turned to look up at the building, but the next moment his lips twitched involuntarily.

Because he saw Lou Gao looking at the fixed soul tool in his hand with a perverted gaze.

Before Lin Hai could say anything, Lou Gao snatched the fixed soul tool from Lin Hai's hand.

"This is truly a wonderful thing. I never knew soul tools were so captivating. I was completely blinded before, never realizing the hidden potential of soul tools."

"Kid, you've got a good head, you're a smart guy."

Lin Hai thought to himself, "Is this a compliment or an insult? Sigh!"

Lou Gao stroked the fixed soul tool with both hands, as if he were looking at a peerless beauty.

"Hey kid, where are the shells?" The next moment, Lou Gao couldn't resist wanting to test it out, and shouted at Lin Hai.

"Senior, please don't be in a hurry!" Lin Hai said as he took out the fixed-mount soul-guided cannonball he had made from his storage soul tool.

"This...this...this is a fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shell!" Lou Gao put down the fixed-mount soul-guided cannon in his hand and carefully took the fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shell from Lin Hai's hand, as if it were a precious treasure.

Lou Gao examined it carefully for a while, then began to figure out how to use the fixed soul tool.

Lou Gao truly lived up to his reputation as one of the top craftsmen on the Douluo Continent; he had mastered the art of working with iron. He quickly figured out how to use the fixed-installation soul tool.

"Wait!" They found a solution on the upper floor: to deploy the fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shell.

"Senior Lou Gao, how about we... go somewhere else?" Lin Hai glanced at the spot where the attack had just exploded and said meaningfully.

"Uh..." Lou Gao was a little embarrassed, after all, he was the one who caused the explosion.

However, he quickly realized that the explosion was clearly partly caused by the kid in front of him, as he was the one who provided the soul tool!

"Alright, come with me!"

……

Outside Gengxin City, there is an abandoned mine, quite a distance away from the city.

Lou Gao, Si Long, and Lin Hai's group arrived here.

"Kid, is this okay?"

"This mine is where we used to mine, but as you can see, we've basically mined it all out!"

"Then Senior Lou Gao can proceed with his actions with complete freedom!"

"Haha, it's finally done!"

"Make way, I'm about to lose it!" Lou Gao doesn't care about the occasion when he acts like a child, but you can clearly see his excitement at this moment.

Lin Hai, Dugu Bo, and their group consciously stepped back a distance.

The fixed-mount soul tool is a more powerful soul tool than a soul tool pistol.

In fact, the power of the soul-guided pistol was not as strong as it had just shown. The reason it caused that kind of damage was entirely due to Lou Gao's strength and the lack of tempering in his soul power output.

This is my first time using this building, and I'm not sure how to judge the accuracy.

Lou Gao made a series of noises, and everything was ready.

"I'm starting!"

Dugu Bo and Meng Shu consciously activated their soul power shields.

The two knew from the moment they heard Lin Hai was going to put it into an experiment that this fixed-installation soul tool was definitely not a simple thing.

Lou Gao's martial spirit possessed him, and seven spirit rings appeared. He also began to inject spirit power into the fixed spirit tool.

Lou Gao, taking advantage of the open space, didn't hold back. He gradually felt the soul power he was injecting was becoming excessive, but he still wanted to test the maximum capacity of this soul tool. Lou Gao was thinking that since this kid dared to bring out something like this, Lin Hai must have more, so Lou Gao wasn't worried at all.

However, he was disappointed because this fixed-installation soul tool really didn't require much soul power injection, which was completely different from the previous one. This discovery made Lou Gao feel a little disappointed.

Fixed-position soul tools are not something ordinary people can afford to play with, not only because of their great power, which depends on the person who makes the fixed-position soul tool, but also because a corresponding physique is required to activate the soul tool.

However, in theory, since the fixed-position soul-repelling cannonball is itself a highly compressed soul force, the person firing it will experience tremendous recoil at the moment of launch, and those who are not strong enough may actually suffer serious injuries.

Another point.

Lin Hai originally planned to inscribe the soul power injected by soul masters on the fixed-rotation soul-guided cannonball in an attempt to enhance its power. However, it was too dangerous, and Lin Hai could not guarantee the safety of the user for the time being, so he did not inscribe it.

Lou Gao took action.

"Boom—" A loud roar rang out, and a dazzling black light burst out from inside the metal tube.

A fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shell was fired, and powerful soul energy fluctuations spread outwards from the height of the building.

The sudden, powerful airflow caused Lou Gao himself to stumble back several steps. The others were also affected by the tremor.

Damn it, this soul tool has no martial ethics. I was careless and failed to dodge.

And

The black light, which was the fixed soul tool that had been launched, emitted a strong fluctuation of soul power and kept approaching its destination, the abandoned mine.

After traversing a distance of several hundred meters, the fixed-position soul-guided shell slammed into the abandoned mine, instantly erupting in a violent burst of fire, a towering mushroom cloud, and a deafening roar. A massive gust of air rebounded, carrying with it rocks, dirt, and fragments of iron.

With the soul power shields of Dugu Bo and Meng Shu, these people were not much of a problem. However, in the areas outside of Dugu Bo and Meng Shu, the ground was basically scraped clean, and the extent of the damage near the explosion point was still unknown.

The airflow lasted for quite some time before gradually calming down, and the smoke and dust in front of us slowly dissipated, revealing its true appearance.

"hiss!"

A Dou Zong level expert is terrifying!

Sorry, I messed up the scene!

"The power of this fixed-installation soul tool is terrifying!"

The scene before them was desolate. The once-thriving mine was now sparsely populated, with a large crater at the center of the explosion, and iron ore piled up into small hills around it due to the airflow. The ground seemed to have been sheared away from its upper layer, and it was much lower than where Lin Hai and his group were.

"Hahahahaha!" Lou Gao's reaction was different from the others; he burst into laughter upon seeing this.

"This kind of power is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary weapons."

"Moreover, with the emergence of such soul tools, support-type soul masters will have a completely new way out, and they will also have means of attack."

"The emergence of offensive soul tools will inevitably change the continent's landscape. In the short term, such soul tools may not pose a threat to experts above the Soul Saint level, but in battles among lower-level soul masters, especially in war, such soul tools are powerful weapons of war." Lou Gao hit the nail on the head. Lin Hai's original intention in discovering soul tools was to quickly resolve battles in future wars to unify the continent and achieve the unification of the continent with minimal losses.

Born into a Chinese nation, Lin Hai was certainly not a saint. He knew very well that, as the great man aptly put it, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." Strong power is the fundamental condition for national peace and prosperity.

"Kid, do you still have any use for this soul tool? If you're not in a hurry, lend it to me so I can study it."

"It's alright. Since you value my work so much, why not give it to you?"

"Great! Great!" Lou Gao was overjoyed.

"But senior, there seems to be something else over there." Lin Hai pointed to the location where the explosion had just occurred as he spoke.

Lin Hai's eyes are extraordinary; after being exposed to the world, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they have eyes that can see a thousand miles.

"Um?"

"It's Green Shadow Cloud Mine!" Lou Gao exclaimed with delight.

However, Lin Hai was not surprised at all. Lin Hai's knowledge was not limited to Douluo Continent; he also had the perspective of Douluo Continent ten thousand years in the future, as well as a perspective from the modern era.

He had long suspected that even rarer ores were hidden beneath this so-called abandoned mine.

However, this was the first time he had ever heard of the Green Shadow Cloud Mine.

Overall, this newly discovered mine will be useful for Lin Hai's future production of soul tools.

"Silong, hurry back and call people to come here and start mining."

"It's a teacher."

Lou Gao and Si Long were blacksmiths at heart, so they couldn't help but be overjoyed when they encountered excellent ore.

For the next few days, Lou Gao stayed in his private warehouse to study soul tools.

Mu Jiabao, on the other hand, returned miserably to the blacksmithing life he had experienced several years ago.

Lin Hai even went so far as to claim that this was for his own good.

Mu Jiabao thought to himself with a hint of resentment, "Isn't this just because Ah Hai wants a top-notch blacksmith?!"

However, Mu Jiabao could only accept Lin Hai's arrangement. Meng Yiran, the little star, was there, and she showed an admiring look after learning that Mu Jiabao could also forge iron.

Haha! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Furthermore, Mu Jiabao's father-in-law was there, so he had no choice but to accept.

After several days, Lou Gao emerged from his private storage room, disheveled, with bloodshot eyes, looking extremely unkempt.

But he still looked energetic and showed no signs of fatigue. Lou Gao hurriedly came to Lin Hai's side, "Kid, tell me quickly, how did you do that thing!"

These past few days he disassembled those two soul tools, but he still couldn't understand their principles. He spent time trying to comprehend the soul guidance array that Lin Hai had mentioned, but he only understood some of the patterns. When he finally tried to reassemble them, he managed to assemble them, but they were no longer usable.

It's just embarrassing.
