Peerless: The Evil Soul Master's Guide to Saving the World

Chapter 157 The so-called [Spiritual Energy], Wang Dong: Transfer to another school immediately, I am invincible!

"Ding~"

The metal door slowly opened, revealing a variety of instruments inside. Xu Cheng stepped into the laboratory, looked around at the columns of thick blood on both sides and some dissected corpses, and was quite amazed.

Among them were several elderly ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts that were sent by Di Tian not long ago. Because they didn't have much time left, Old Cheng took their blood and observed them for a while, then gave them anesthesia and proceeded to dissect them directly.

It can be regarded as a contribution to the future of the soul beast clan.

After all, the Sun-Moon Empire is not like Shrek, which has abundant soul beast resources and is even luxurious enough to support a soul beast hall alone. The soul beasts that Old Cheng had studied before were only between a hundred and a thousand years old.

It’s not that it won’t come back after ten thousand years, but it’s hard to control it after it’s caught. If you want to study artificial spirit rings, you not only need to study the principle of the birth of spirit rings at the moment of death, but also the spirit beasts before death...

After Di Tian gave the order and as time was running out, they all obediently accepted Cheng Lao's experiment.

"teacher."

Xu Cheng saw Mr. Cheng stop and wipe the sweat from his forehead before he stepped forward.

"You're back?" Old Cheng stretched his shoulders and smiled. "This young body is really durable. In the past, staying up all night like this for half a month would not have been possible with just a little energy fluid injection."

The energy liquid is a mixture of some elixirs, and its main function is to refresh the mind.

"You should take care of your health..." Although he knew that the teacher would not listen, Xu Cheng still tried to comfort him: "As the emperor's teacher and the pillar of the empire, I suspect that your previous illness worsened because you worked on experiments day and night when you were young."

"Haha, okay, let's take a look at the research results." Old Cheng said with a smile.

As they talked, the two of them came to a small compartment.

Old Cheng pointed to some bone marrow oozing with blood, and tubes of instruments filled with blood, and said, "We have experimented with the principles of spirit rings and spirit bones. Let's talk about spirit rings first."

"Inside the soul beast's body, there is something that separates it from ordinary animals. Only when ordinary animals have it in their blood can they begin to practice and grow in strength through years of accumulation. Elder Yi and I will temporarily name it spiritual energy."

"Spiritual energy?" Xu Cheng nodded, holding his chin.

"That's right, spiritual energy. Soul beasts accumulate spiritual energy throughout their lives until the moment of death. When the spiritual energy accumulated in the blood reaches a certain level, it will instantly transform into a corresponding state of spiritual energy accumulation! This is the so-called ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, etc. This moment can be observed." Old Cheng touched his chin.

"I once drew out some of the blood of the Ten Thousand Year Blazing Monkey and set it aside. At the same time, I anesthetized it and killed it instantly. While observing it while drawing out the blood, I found that the blood actually transformed synchronously with its body. The originally light green spiritual energy instantly turned gray, and the spirit ring slowly condensed at the same time."

"In other words... these spirit rings are actually the condensation of spiritual energy?" Xu Cheng nodded, then suddenly rejected it, "No, it's the condensation of spiritual energy and the soul power of the soul beast!"

"Haha, smart." Old Cheng smiled happily.

"Yes, only when the spiritual energy is transformed into gray, which I call [gray energy], will this state of [spiritual energy] combine with soul power to produce the corresponding soul ring age according to the soul beast's spiritual energy standard when it was alive. Otherwise, the spiritual energy in a normal state and soul power are mutually exclusive..."

"So that's how it is." Xu Cheng felt suddenly enlightened.

"So, the role of soul power in this process is actually just a catalyst, and it does not take the leading role. In other words, as long as the [spiritual energy] is converted into [gray energy], its age is controlled, and then it is integrated into the soul power, a real artificial soul ring can be generated?"

"That's right," Elder Cheng nodded. "Based on my many experiments, under controlled variables, I found that even if a soul beast has almost no soul power left, or has been completely consumed, with only a tiny bit of soul power, or even less than one thousandth of the original soul power, it can still successfully produce soul rings, and the standard will not be lowered. But without [spiritual energy], even if the soul beast dies, it will never produce soul rings."

"As for soul bones, they are similar, but... it depends a bit on luck. During the process of the fusion of [gray energy] and soul power, it will be randomly dispersed throughout the body, and there is a chance that it will condense into a soul bone. But what exactly this probability depends on... I am still studying it."

"Then..." Xu Cheng said eagerly.

"Alas, it's not as easy as you think." Old Cheng shook his head helplessly. "To create a soul ring, you first need [artificial spiritual energy]. If you extract this thing from the soul beast, it will go against your original intention. So after Old Yi and I try it, we have to figure out the principle and how to [clone]. This is a threshold. There is also the issue of how to control the changes in the age of the spiritual energy after cloning it. This is also the top priority. After all, you can't just wait for it to experience ten thousand years after you extract it. I can't wait that long..."

Xu Cheng chuckled.

I am indeed a little impatient.

This spiritual energy, apart from controlling the [switch] of transforming it into [gray gas], is also full of difficulties. Old Cheng has only taken the first step, as for the rest... there is still a long way to go.

But it’s normal to think about it.

This technology is supposed to be epoch-making and able to create a whole new era. Its importance is undeniable. If it could be easily achieved, the original work and later generations would not have been standing still for tens of thousands of years.

Now, you can hear this progress bar.

It was all thanks to the two big bosses, Mr. Cheng and Mr. Yi.

After all, one is a scientific research expert, and the other holds the sun and the moon and plucks the stars...

……

"Who can tell me why our Shrek Academy has been so glorious for thousands of years?" Shrek Academy.

In the new class's classroom.

Zhou Yi had an old, dead face and his eyes darted back and forth in the classroom.

Many students lowered their heads tremblingly, fearing that the witch would call them. If it were any other class, for example, Teacher Mu Jin, who was both gentle and considerate, they would probably raise their hands higher than the other.

Because this old witch will punish you severely if your answers are not to her liking, making you run in circles with an armor on your back or stand under the scorching sun for three or four hours until your soul is about to leave your body. But she will only glare at you and secretly call you a waste.

In short, she is like an old woman in menopause, with mood swings, which is really infuriating.

Of course, what's even more frightening is that if you are slightly dissatisfied with her, the decision to expel you from school will be like a mountain pressing down on you. The expectations and high hopes of countless family elders will weigh you down, and you can only beg her not to expel you.

But what came back was even worse...

Wang Dong looked out the window indifferently. It was already the second semester of the first grade, and he would soon be able to leave the oppression of this old witch, and then stay in the Sun-Moon Empire for three years. When he came back, he would be a fourth-year student. Shrek Academy would change teachers after the fourth or fifth grade, and then...

"Wang Dong, tell me." Zhou Yi frowned and looked at Wang Dong.

"It's on the first page of the textbook. Can't you turn it over and read it yourself?" Wang Dong yawned lazily and glanced at Zhou Yi impatiently.

The whole class suddenly fell silent.

Lan Ruoruo's face was filled with shock. She lowered her voice and asked, "Is the monitor planning to drop out of school? How dare he speak to Zhou Yi like that?"

Lan Susu suddenly realized, "It should be that the list of exchange students has been confirmed. The class monitor will go to the Sun Moon Empire for exchange next month. This is a major event confirmed by the school. Old witch Zhou Yi probably doesn't have the authority to expel Wang Dong at this time. After all, he is a twin martial soul, which is very precious. Expelling him at this time is obviously pushing him to the Sun Moon Empire."

Zhou Sichen smacked his lips, his face full of envy: "Why can't they choose me? I also want to go to the Sun Moon Empire for exchange. As long as I can avoid Zhou Yi, the old witch, anywhere will do."

Cao Jinxuan said disdainfully: "Don't dream. The class monitor was selected into the reserve team before the competition. His strength is unique in our new class. Only... Dai Huabin from the next class can be compared with him. You are nothing."

"Oh, you..." Zhou Sichen widened his eyes, and the two friends almost got into a fight.

But the sharp-eyed Zhou Yi noticed it and sneered.

"You two! Go out and run twenty laps with weights!"

With a sharp sound like glass scratching against the wall, the two men walked out of the classroom dejectedly.

The classroom became quiet instantly.

Zhou Yi walked down the stage slowly, looked at Wang Dong, and sneered: "What, Wang Dong, before you leave, you can't respect your teacher? You are really a thing that has people raising you but no one teaching you."

"..." Wang Dong's little hand tightly grasped hers. At this moment, Zhou Yi accidentally scolded her right at the heart. After all, she didn't even know who her parents were...

"Hehe, this old witch is the only one that can do this. If you were not your husband Fan Yu, who would you be? Are you qualified to teach in Shrek's outer courtyard?" Wang Dong quickly calmed down and glanced at Zhou Yi with a sneer.

“You’re so arrogant, looking down on this one every day, and bringing shame to Shrek’s ten thousand year reputation. What about you? A Soul Emperor in his forties? I dare to ask all of us students here, which talent can’t crush you, the so-called teacher!”

"You are a waste yourself, and you come here to teach and educate people. I think Shrek... that's all."

Wang Dong shrugged indifferently.

"You..." Zhou Yi's face turned red instantly. Ever since Fan Yu became the director of the Soul Guidance Department, no one had dared to speak to her like that.

Wang Dong's words were like a knife, accurately piercing her weak spot.

After marrying Fanyu, she actually felt very inferior because there were many people who liked Fanyu, and she herself was very poor, with no background and no talent. Apart from being liked by Fanyu, she was useless.

She also knew that she was where she is today because of Fan Yu. Her inferiority complex and deformed heart gradually twisted into a controlling person. She relied on these Shrek "geniuses" to establish her authority and achieve a sense of superiority in controlling power.

To this day, if Wang Dong hadn't torn them apart.

I'm afraid she is still immersed in a sweet dream.

"What do you mean, take your disgusting claws away." Wang Dong slapped Zhou Yi's hand in disgust. "You are a teacher, so what have you taught us so far? Have we done weight training over and over again? Is it because I can't afford those broken copper armors? Or is it because I can't hire a healing spirit master? Most of the knowledge is from textbooks. In addition to reading the textbooks dryly in class, do you have any understanding of your own?"

"It's just garbage..."

Wang Dong snorted and walked out of the classroom.
