Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 178 Soul and Forging Technology, Exploring Starry Sky Soul Guidance Devices, Ye Yulin's Joy
The Dark Gold Claw showed its power for the first time, and combined with the Tyrant Tiger Slash, it overwhelmed the Silver Moon Wolf King, who had just entered the world of ten thousand years, and made it breathless. Xu Tianxi took advantage of the situation and followed up with three punches and two kicks, knocking the opponent unconscious like Wu Song beating the tiger, and used the soul guide to seal his cultivation and threw it into the storage soul guide.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Tianxi quickly did the same thing with the three thousand-year-old golden wolf kings, and packed them all into the storage bag, regardless of whether they were the combination that Huo Gua encountered in the original book.

After defeating his opponent like a whirlwind, Xu Tianxi put away his sword and stood up. He showed a calm smile to the slightly stunned Ye Yulin: "Brother, look, I told you I still have some strength."

The corner of Ye Yulin's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself that these four wolf kings who claimed to be the kings of the world were unlucky to meet you. It was not as easy as you, even chopping meat.

His lips moved, and Ye Yulin tried to maintain his demeanor as a top expert. He coughed twice and said:

"Very good. I didn't expect you to be so good at fighting even without the fixed-type soul guide shells. Then we should go deeper into the mountains as soon as possible. The 50,000-year-old Wolf King almost only appears in the depths of the Central Mountain Range."

"Okay, please go first, Senior Brother."

Xu Tianxi followed suit and moved to protect Ye Yulin in front of him.

For some reason, Ye Yulin felt a little relieved when he saw Xu Tianxi flash behind him.

"With his abilities, even ordinary 50,000-year-old spirit beasts can't do anything to him. If you're not careful, you might fall into his hands. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Generally speaking, only masters above the level of a Seven-Ring Soul Sage can fight against a 30,000-year-old soul beast alone; after Xu Tianxi integrated the Dark Gold Terror Claw palm bone, his strength was further improved. In close combat, he was a genuine Soul Douluo, and dealing with a 50,000-year-old soul beast was no problem at all.

Thinking of this, Ye Yulin couldn't help but turn his head and smiled faintly at Xu Tianxi, with longing in his voice:

"With your talent, perhaps you can rival a Titled Douluo at the Soul Saint level. As far as I can remember, there are very few such people in the history of Douluo Continent."

Xu Tianxi smiled faintly and said, "That's nothing surprising. Aren't the elite Soul Douluos of Shrek and the Body Sect able to rival ordinary Titled Douluos? It's not difficult to cultivate to the point of rivaling them."

"According to ancient records, Soul Saints with ultimate martial spirits all possess the strength to rival Titled Douluo, even if they are the weakest."

Ye Yulin shook his head and laughed: "No matter how weak a Titled Douluo is, he is still a Titled Douluo. He is not to be underestimated."

"I'll try it."

Xu Tianxi looked away and said with emotion, "In fact, I have long wanted to hunt spirit rings with my own strength, but the strongest spirit beast I can hunt is not enough for me."

"This cultivation system is truly bizarre. Without powerful elders to help and protect the path, no matter how talented a person is, they will not be able to fully utilize their talents."

"No need to think too much. Isn't this the meaning of our existence?"

Ye Yulin smiled and said, "The world is inherently unfair. Look at the contestants in the Soul Master Competition. They are all geniuses in their own fields, but less than half of them possess the best soul rings."

"Soul hunting is a matter of luck, and the academy teachers can only guarantee the safety of the students when leading soul hunting teams. They can't waste several months in a soul beast gathering place. In the end, they have no choice but to choose the best among the worst."

"Besides, soul beast resources are also limited."

Xu Tianxi nodded in agreement and suddenly said, "Brother, I'm thinking that if we can develop a cultivation method that can pass on spirit rings from generation to generation, perhaps we can change this situation."

"Passed down from generation to generation? How is that possible?" Ye Yulin didn't believe it when he heard it.

Xu Tianxi's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "To be honest, Senior Brother, I have witnessed the actions of the top masters in the Soul Beast Realm many times. Watching them take action, I vaguely had some ideas."

"Last night, Xu Jiawei took me to the secret place of Xingluo. After experiencing a special baptism, I gained some insights and already have some ideas. After returning this time, I want to put some of them into practice."

It would be bad to have no reason for something as shocking as a soul. Fortunately, he was young and had a lot of experience. He had met the sea soul beast king Tongtian Bazu and the land soul beast king Ditian from afar, and Xu Jiawei's star crown baptism could all be regarded as endorsement.

Where did the soul inspiration come from? Of course, it was the idea given by the top leader of the soul beast clan. If anyone doesn't believe it, they can go to the Great Fierce Land and find the Star Fighting Fierce Beast Group to verify it, or go to the deep sea and risk being surrounded and killed by sea soul beasts to find Tongtian Tyrant Ancestor. If you can leave your body intact, you are amazing.

The souls in the original novel have big problems. Unless the soul beast is a fool, a healthy soul beast would not be so crazy as to sign a contract with a soul master, giving up its lifespan of thousands or tens of thousands of years to follow a soul master with a lifespan of one or two hundred years through life and death.

To solve this problem, Xu Tianxi's idea is to make the soul heritable. After the grandfather dies, it can be passed on to the son, grandson, or even not passed on at all, but the soul master must not be separated and the soul will perish together.

Seeing Xu Tianxi's serious expression, Ye Yulin couldn't help but take it seriously. He said with a serious look in his eyes, "Junior brother, do you know the meaning behind this? Please don't lie to me."

"I know, but I only have an idea at the moment. I still need to practice how to do it, and it requires a certain amount of soul beast resources, so I'm catching them now."

Xu Tianxi patted the bulging living creature storage bag, inside of which lay four thousand-year-old wolf kings.

"Also, Senior Brother, does our Worship Hall have any skilled blacksmiths? I think the power of our soul guides still has some room for improvement."

After talking about souls, Xu Tianxi turned to the next important idea and tried the battle armor technology tree.

Ten thousand years later, the two major technological products, mecha and battle armor, have already taken shape, and the main researchers of these two inventions are still in Mingde Hall, one is Jing Hongchen and the other is Xuan Ziwen.

In order to do a good job in this research, the technology of forging rare metals is essential. He doesn't know where to start with the later spiritual forging, soul forging, and heaven forging, but he should be able to try the early ten forgings, one hundred forgings, and one thousand forgings, right?
As long as this technology could be refined and incorporated into the production of soul tools, Xu Tianxi was certain it would usher in a revolutionary change, though this might take a long time. Upon closer inspection, today's soul masters were truly formidable. Ten thousand years from now, a single person could handle all four major professions: forging, design, manufacturing, and repair, and even create new ninth- and tenth-level soul tools. Each of them would be a master of their craft. In their previous lives, they would have been top-tier welders capable of assembling rockets.

Xu Tianxi's thoughts jumped so fast that Ye Yulin was a little bit unable to adapt, but he still thought about it and answered:
"Ninth-level soul masters don't care much about the forging process of rare metals in the early stages; their focus is on researching and carving the core magic array; however...

I remember there was an eighth-level soul guide named Long Chui, whose martial soul was a giant hammer. Because of his martial soul, he was very good at ironworking, and the rare metals he processed were very suitable for the production of various special soul guides.

"Then where is this person now? In the worship hall?" Xu Tianxi's eyes lit up slightly.

Ye Yulin shook his head, his expression strange as he said, "He was originally studying at the Gongfeng Hall. A few years ago, Jing Hongchen wanted to research Unit 00, so he went to the Gongfeng Hall to ask for him. Now he is at Mingde Hall."

"Mingde Hall is home to all sorts of scientific research eccentrics and lunatics from the Sun and Moon Empire. If you look there, you'll definitely find the right person."

"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, senior brother." Xu Tianxi bowed and thought that the dean had so many talented people under him. He would have to ask Teacher Xuan to introduce more of them to him later.

But considering their seniority, he is now of the same generation as Teacher Xuan. Should he call him senior brother or teacher?
Speaking of the most familiar soul guide, Ye Yulin became interested. With a turn of his eyes, he said with a smile: "I see that your martial soul is the moon, which is very suitable for starry sky combat. If you are interested in high-altitude soul guides, you are welcome to come and discuss with me."

"These days, I've been vaguely thinking about taking the Sun Divine Needle one step further and developing a soul guide with even greater destructive power. I'll call it the Sun-Moon Divine Needle, meaning the stabilizing force of the Sun-Moon Empire..."

Ye Yulin, the foremost expert, took the initiative to invite him. Xu Tianxi immediately accepted with a smile and brought up his original idea again:
"I'm also very interested in starry sky battles, so I won't be polite in the future. I happen to be researching ways to combine martial souls with soul guides. If I can combine a soul power expansion device with a martial soul, perhaps the attack power can be greatly improved..."

Ye Yulin narrowed his eyes immediately, as if he had found a confidant:
"Yes! I have always believed that the most beautiful thing about soul guides is their powerful attack and destructive power. It seems that Junior Brother is also a fellow..."

"Of course, I've heard that the Eye of Terror, created by Senior Brother, is incredibly powerful. The Level 7 Eye of Terror is known as the most powerful Level 7 soul guide. I've long wanted to learn how to create one. Could Senior Brother teach me?"

"Haha, no problem, no problem. Junior brother really knows what's good..." Ye Yulin laughed heartily. His laughter was strong and powerful, and the echo could be heard several miles away.

The seventh-level Eye of Fear is extremely powerful, but it has a huge flaw that it cannot lock onto the target, and it is difficult to make. Very few seventh-level soul engineers are willing to make it. Ye Yulin has always believed that this is because those soul engineers cannot see the advantages of their own inventions. Only truly smart people know the benefits of the Eye of Fear.

A genius like my junior brother is a truly smart person.

"You've seen my detection glasses. I have an idea. Can we install a similar detection device in the Eye of Terror? In this way, perhaps we can overcome its weakness..."

Xu Tianxi took out his detection glasses and gestured to express his idea of ​​merging the two into one.

Ye Yulin's face was filled with joy. He immediately took out a stack of blueprints from his storage ring. "Ah, Junior Brother, you are truly a genius. Come here, here are the blueprints for the Level 7 Eye of Terror. See if there's anything you can improve on..."

"Haha, don't worry, brother. I will do my best..."

The two walked and discussed, Xu Tianxi's ideas were wild and imaginative, while Ye Yulin was experienced and sophisticated. When the conversation became excited, Ye Yulin took out the Eye of Fear and the Sun Needle, and Xu Tianxi also summoned his own materialized full moon. Comparing the two, each had its own unique features...

During the discussion, Xu Tianxi deeply realized the power of soul guides. The soul guides rubbed by strong men like Ye Yulin can be charged in advance and suddenly burst out in battle. They have a huge advantage over soul masters, and even the top-level titled Douluo can't match them.

Ye Yulin deeply realized that the soul master was very important and powerful. If a top soul master like his junior brother exploded as quickly, he would probably be at a disadvantage.

"If his cultivation level was equal to mine, I wouldn't even have the chance to attack..."

Ye Yulin sighed in his heart, and then felt happy.

"Only such a person can become the successor of Master Kong. He is much stronger than those junior brothers and sisters. May God help our Sun Moon Empire..."

……

Time passed quickly, and three days and three nights went by quickly. The two men walked deep into the central mountains, taking one step deep and one step shallow, and gradually became alert.

Ye Yulin activated his soul guide and knocked a 50,000-year-old winged tiger away from the air. His face was serious as he said:
"Junior brother, be careful to protect yourself. We have entered the territory of soul beasts over 50,000 years old. These guys rarely eat vegetarian food."

Xu Tianxi hummed, and at the same time, he accepted the message from the sea of ​​​​spirit and said, "Brother, there seem to be traces of wolf soul beasts about ten kilometers away in the seven o'clock direction."

"How do you know? Are you sure?"

"My mental sense is strong, so there should be no problem."

"Okay!" Ye Yulin became ruthless and grabbed Xu Tianxi's shoulders and rushed towards the seven o'clock direction.

This time, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm did not make the mistake of sensing a soul beast and sensing a auspicious beast. A Silver Moon Wolf King with a body length of more than five meters and a strong body, several Golden Wolf Kings and wolf-type soul beasts with strange fur colors came into view. The two soul masters, one old and one young, could not help but shine their eyes.

"Brother, you set up the soundproof curtain. I will use special means to trap them. You take the opportunity to catch the wolf."

Xu Tianxi's eyes were as deep as a spring as he spoke to Ye Yulin, a rare look of anticipation emerging on his face.
