Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 174 Preparation
Inside the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy dormitory, a soul guide cannon was placed on Lin Xiao's desk. It looked to be about the same size as an adult's arm, with the back end still unsealed, revealing the delicate soul guide arrays inside.

The creature carving knife in Lin Xiao's hand flew up and down, and metal powder kept floating out of his hand and falling on the table, reflecting a little bit of light, just like stars sprinkled on the table.

"It's so beautiful, it's really so beautiful. I didn't expect this kind of metal to exist."

Beside Lin Xiao, the soul "Fengshen" was floating continuously, but his eyes never left the Star Soul Ingot in Lin Xiao's hand.

Since learning necromancy from Alex, these souls, which already retained a lot of consciousness from their previous lives, have become more active.

Especially Lin Xiao, who had just been deified not long ago. Perhaps it was because his soul began to communicate after Lin Xiao learned the magic of the undead, and had not been directly and roughly transformed by Lin Xiao. He was even more active than others. If it were not for that translucent body, he would be almost indistinguishable from a living person.

Lin Xiao also somewhat understood why Alex looked down upon the methods of the Holy Spirit Church.

In front of the living soul of Fengshen, the resentful spirits in the Holy Spirit Church who only have hatred and anger are really no match at all.

And this is far from all of necromancy.

Lin Xiao put away the carving knife in his hand, and swept his left hand across the table. As his left arm emitted a faint glow, the metal debris on the table instantly disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Fengshen moved closer and asked, "Is this really the metal material you made?"

Lin Xiao sighed helplessly, "You've become like this, why would I lie to you?"

"But I have you to thank for making it. If you hadn't bought all the acacia wood cores, I wouldn't have been able to forge this metal by chance."

Fengshen didn't care about this matter. After becoming a soul, his preferences seemed to become more direct and pure. He was obviously more interested in the alloy smelted by Lin Xiao.

"So that's how it is. No wonder when you were taking the test in Mingde Hall, I always felt that your soul guide seemed to be lacking something."

"You'll either have to sacrifice accuracy or controllability, but with this alloy that can carry soul and mental power, you can use the power of your martial soul to let your soul help you control the soul guide."

"What a brilliant idea! The foundation of all this is the alloy you created. By melting two completely different metals, you created a material that combines the advantages of both, and even created new properties."

Lin Xiao listened to Fengshen's words and glanced down at his left arm. If it weren't for his spirit bone's ability to smelt metal, perhaps such a coincidence wouldn't have happened.

Moreover, this soul bone also saved him a lot of effort when making the soul guide. After so many years of nurturing it, it may not be comparable to a real 100,000-year soul bone, but it is not far off.

"I remember now." Just as Lin Xiao looked at his left arm, Fengshen beside him was still muttering to himself, "No wonder when I was making soul guides, even if it was the same soul guide, the power it exerted was different when using different materials."

"At the time, I simply thought that the soul guide array and the materials had different compatibility. But if different materials can form alloys, then isn't there a chance that the materials I chose could be compatible?"

"Also, this kind of fusion doesn't just exist between metals. Have you ever tried fusing metals with non-metals? Have you ever tried fusing alloys with alloys?"

Fengshen was about to reach out to take the materials on the table as he spoke, but when his hand passed through the metal blocks, he remembered that he had turned into a soul and froze in place.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao helped him pick up the metal block and then turned to comfort him, "Alright, we still have plenty of time. We can try it slowly if we have the chance in the future. But for now, let's help me refine my idea." "Sigh—" Feng Shen sighed deeply, "It's a pity that before you, no soul master has ever thought of making a big difference just by looking at the materials before inscribing the soul guidance array."

"Otherwise, my Conferred God Platform can be further improved."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao suddenly paused and put down the metal in his hand. "Speaking of the Conferred God Platform, is it really possible for your soul guide to help a soul master obtain a new martial soul?"

"Yeah." Fengshen nodded, "But the chances are pretty slim."

"Soul rings are different from martial souls. If you want to fuse a new martial soul, you must have the cooperation of the soul beast trapped in the Conferred God Platform. Otherwise, even if the forced fusion is successful, it may cause various conflicts with the soul master's original martial soul."

Lin Xiao began to understand.

If the soul beast sealed in the Conferred God Platform is indeed a hundred thousand year old soul beast, perhaps under the strong pressure from the outside world, there is a real possibility that it can form a new martial soul.

But inside is the Snow Empress who has cultivated for 700,000 years. If you want to make the Snow Empress your martial spirit, not to mention how to bear her 700,000 years of soul power and how to make the Snow Empress cooperate willingly.

Even that extreme attribute alone is not something that an ordinary soul master can easily endure.

A soul master with twin martial souls needs two martial souls of similar quality. If the soul master does not have a martial soul of comparable quality, it would be a fantasy to want to withstand the ultimate martial soul.

Retracting his thoughts, Lin Xiao shook his head gently, took out another star sapphire, and sighed slightly.

After returning from the Holy Spirit Church headquarters, he knew that he had to go to the Ice Sea.

Since I can't refuse, I can only make some preparations before leaving.

He had improved the original self-propelled soul guide cannon, turning it into a complete seventh-level soul guide weapon, but it was still far from the number he had in mind.

Moreover, when going underwater, in addition to dealing with soul beasts, one also has to deal with the environment.

Although the Great Elder said that he would help him solve the problem, he still needed to be prepared to feel at ease.

There are all kinds of soul guides in this world, but Lin Xiao has never seen a device that can convert soul power into air. It is not easy to create a soul guide that can breathe underwater out of thin air.

But fortunately, there is another completely unreasonable thing in this world, the storage soul guide.

The starlight sapphire in his hand is also known as the treasure of space. It possesses rare spatial power and is also the basis of most large storage soul guides.

He really hadn't figured out how to convert soul power into breathable air, but it would be much simpler to use the principle of storage soul guides to "pack" the outside air in advance.

While communicating with Fengshen and designing the magic circle, the light of the lighting soul guide in Lin Xiao's dormitory remained on until very late.
