Douluo: The villain system, intercepting Tianmeng Ice Silkworm

Chapter 75 Why Are You So Stupid?

"Pay attention to the top of your head." Jing Hongchen reminded.

Poseidon looked up and saw three silver dragons made of liquid metal cruising in the dome. They were a defense system with self-repair capabilities.

Thunder suddenly sounded in the distance, and a red energy cloud exploded on a test platform, but was quickly absorbed by the spherical shield.

There was a faint smell of ozone floating in the air, mixed with a certain cold metallic scent to form a unique smell.

What shocked Poseidon the most was the energy vortex in the center of the space. A dark blue light column with a diameter of 30 meters fell from the sky, and tens of thousands of soul guide components were floating inside. They were being assembled into some kind of epoch-making weapon by invisible hands.

Jing Hongchen flicked his fingers and cast a shielding force field. He said, "Every piece of equipment here is equipped with an anti-reconnaissance soul guide. The starlight you see is actually a monitoring network composed of 360 sets of eighth-level detection soul guides."

Three hundred and sixty groups, and level eight!

Poseidon felt a little emotional and could only say that it was worthy of Mingde Hall.

The eighth-level soul guides that could fetch sky-high prices outside, however, here there are 360 sets, and they are only used for monitoring!

"Next is the laboratory you use to make soul guides." Jing Hongchen saw Poseidon's performance clearly, and a sense of pride rose in his heart.

As for Gu Yuena, her expression never changed from beginning to end.

She was not interested in these things and just wanted to quickly learn how to make soul guides.

When the mechanical gate opened, hundreds of smaller white metal doors came into view.

Jing Hongchen casually pushed open a door and walked in with the two of them.

The laboratory is not very big, but the things inside are dazzling.

All kinds of advanced instruments that cannot be seen in Shrek Academy are available here.

Jing Hongchen pointed inside and continued, "This is the laboratory where we usually make soul guides. As the level of soul guides increases, the amount of equipment and rare metals obtained, and even the size of the laboratory, will also increase."

As if fearing a misunderstanding, Jing Hongchen quickly added, "Although I would also like to move you to a higher-level laboratory, your level is too low after all. There are many things that you cannot access for the time being."

Poseidon shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's fine here."

Gu Yuena also nodded, which was rare.

"Well, let's start tomorrow. As the head of Mingde Hall, I don't have much time to instruct you. You can come to my laboratory every weekend, and I will give you a full day of instruction.

During the rest of the time, we will send soul instructors above level seven to teach you."

After Jing Hongchen left, Poseidon stretched his back feeling a little tired.

Just as he was about to leave, he found Gu Yuena tugging at the corner of his clothes.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Poseidon looked back at her curiously and said.

Gu Yuena ignored him and dragged Poseidon to a piece of metal before speaking, "Don't fall asleep yet. Teach me."

"Uh..." Hearing this, Poseidon was speechless. The Sun-Moon Empire was quite far away from Shrek City. He had been flying in the sky for a long time and was already tired.

So he tentatively asked, "How about tomorrow?"

Gu Yuena said nothing, but just blinked her purple eyes and stared at Poseidon quietly.

Poseidon couldn't stand her staring at him anymore, and said in annoyance, "Okay, okay, I'll teach you."

Then he casually picked up a carving knife from the table and waved it in front of Gu Yuena.

"The first, most important, and most crucial step in making a soul guide is the core magic array.

After the soul power is injected, the core array's special operation mode drives the soul guide, thus activating it. "Look carefully, I will teach you once." Poseidon picked up a piece of metal and began to carve on it, explaining the precautions.

Gu Yuena watched attentively, nodding from time to time.

Since it was Gu Yuena's first time to come into contact with a soul guide, Poseidon only carved a core magic circle without any grade, and it was completed in just a few minutes.

"Here, try learning my technique." After handing the carving knife and the newly completed core formation to Gu Yuena, Poseidon stood up and made some space for Gu Yuena.

After Gu Yuena took it, she clumsily picked up the carving knife and began to carve.

But as soon as he started, he frowned, carefully recalling Poseidon's previous techniques and those tiny lines in his mind.

About half an hour later, Gu Yuena handed Poseidon a piece of metal with an expectant look on her face.

"How about it?"

"Uh..." Looking at this piece of metal that was about to be scrapped, Poseidon's forehead showed a few black lines.

Gu Yuena's swordsmanship had no pattern at all, it was just a matter of slashing left and right.

If I have to describe it in two words, it would be abstract!

Then Poseidon looked at Gu Yuena seriously and asked, "Have you ever considered giving up?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena was stunned at first, and then a look of displeasure appeared on her face.

"After all, this is my first time doing this. At worst, I can try again a few more times."

Seeing this, Poseidon also expressed helplessness, but also became excited.

"Okay, then you can figure it out slowly. I'm going back to sleep first."

Gu Yuena didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, grabbed another piece of metal and continued carving.

……

The next morning, when Poseidon yawned and pushed open the door of the laboratory, he saw a surprising scene.

The ground was littered with scrap metal. Gu Yuena was kneeling on the ground with her silver hair scattered on the ground. She held a piece of silver metal in her left hand and a carving knife in her right hand.

Seeing this scene, Poseidon had to admire Gu Yuena's perseverance. He did not go forward to disturb her, but watched quietly from behind.

Not long after, a cheer was heard: "Finally succeeded!"

I saw that the silver metal in Gu Yuena's hand was engraved with many lines. It seemed chaotic, but in fact it contained mysteries and had special rules.

Poseidon was a little surprised. Although it was just a core magic circle of no grade, it could be completed in one night. It seemed that Gu Yuena did have some talent.

Gu Yuena was as happy as a teenage girl at this moment, and walked up to Poseidon with a proud look on her face.

"How's it going? Did you pass?"

Poseidon took it, smiled slightly, and said, "Well, it's really good. It seems that you do have some talent."

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the two of them subconsciously turned their heads to look.

I saw a middle-aged man walking in from outside. He had an ordinary appearance, but a gentle expression and a smile on his lips. He looked very approachable.

After pushing open the door, he was a little surprised. Obviously, he didn't expect that the two of them would come so early.

However, he quickly reacted, walked gently in front of the two people, and said with a smile: "Hello, I am Xiao Ming, an eighth-level soul guide, sent by the hall master to teach you soul guide theory."
