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

Chapter 66 Deformity
A stream flowed down from the mountain. The deer drinking water by the stream seemed to have sensed something. They looked around vigilantly, then jumped up with all four limbs high and ran away.

However, someone had already predicted the direction of their escape. The incandescent light drew an arc in the air and fell into the deer herd in the blink of an eye. A soul beast with 600 years of cultivation had all its limbs broken and fell to the ground.

Then, several figures slowly emerged from the dense forest.

"So amazing! Senior can even control such a fast soul guide ray." Micah looked at Lin Xiao who had just launched the attack, and did not hesitate to praise him.

"You can do it with more practice." Lin Xiao smiled and put away the soul guide. "Let's take a closer look. This soul beast should be quite suitable for Orange."

The other soul beasts showed no regard for the safety of their companions. When Lin Xiao and his companions approached, there was no trace of other soul beasts around.

"You are a food-type soul master. Its soul ring should be able to provide you with a soul skill that increases your speed. What do you think?" Lin Xiao said, turning around and looking at Orange.

"If you fight with a soul guide in the future, you can use this soul skill to increase your mobility. Even in a soul master team, a food-type soul master who can provide amplification is rare."

"Well, I'll try." Orange agreed without thinking for long, "Thank you."

They had been in the Jingyang Mountains for almost a month. In addition to Micah, who was lucky enough to find a suitable spirit ring at the beginning, Ma Rulong also found a spirit beast that suited him.

As a food-type soul master, Orange didn't want to waste too much time because of herself, but Lin Xiao took them to search for a few more days before finding this good-looking soul beast in front of them.

"You're welcome. My teacher asked me to take good care of you. Naturally, I have to find a soul beast that suits you. Even for a soul master, cultivation is very important. If I can't find a suitable soul beast now, it will be affected in the future."

"Yes." Mika also followed up on Lin Xiao's words and said, "You, the junior sister, have just entered the academy and don't understand yet. For spirit masters, sometimes it is common to stay away from home for several months in order to find a suitable spirit ring. This is related to future cultivation, so you can't be careless."

Orange was not unaware of this, so he thanked him again and then walked aside to get the soul ring.

"There happens to be a water source nearby, so let's take a rest here."

After making the arrangements, Lin Xiao took a few steps to the other side to see if there were any other spirit beasts nearby. When he returned to the stream, Ju Zi was already sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. Lin Jiayi also appeared beside them.

"teacher."

"Yeah." Lin Jiayi nodded and looked at Lin Xiao, "After Orange absorbs the spirit ring, it's time for us to go back."

"I understand." Lin Xiao nodded.

"How is it? How do you feel about using the robotic arm during this period?" Lin Jiayi smiled and led Lin Xiao to sit aside.

"Very tired." Lin Xiao thought for a moment and uttered two words.

"Does it consume a lot of soul power?" "No, it consumes a lot of energy."

Controlling a soul guide device is not as simple as injecting soul power into it. The size and method of inputting soul power will affect the magic array inside it. If you want to maximize the power of the soul guide device, you must make every magic array in it play its maximum role.

This is why many soul masters make their most powerful soul guides themselves, because only by making them by themselves can they understand their internal structure clearly.

Using soul guides made by other soul masters would take a lot of time and energy to familiarize yourself with, and you might not even be able to fully understand the soul guides.

Lin Jiayi lowered his head slightly when he heard Lin Xiao's words. "If even you find it exhausting, I'm afraid others might even have trouble using it. I'm already trying my best to reduce the arrays wherever possible. Any more and I'm afraid it will affect the operation of the entire robotic arm."

"Teacher, is there nothing that can replace some simple magic arrays?" Lin Xiao thought for a while and asked.

The Tang Sect's mechanical technology might be truly amazing, but it was also the result of continuous accumulation and experimentation by their predecessors.

There are so many soul guides in the Sun-Moon Empire. As soul guides, they have a natural advantage in mechanical structures. It has been tens of thousands of years since the emergence of soul guides. Is it true that there are really no simple mechanisms?

"Replace the magic circle?"

"Yeah." Seeing Lin Jiayi looking at him with a puzzled look, Lin Xiao nodded, "Just like the shells of some soul guides, their various parts are connected by mechanical structures, not all of them are connected by magic arrays."

"In these complex soul guides, some mechanisms should be used to replace the magic arrays. Just like some simple bending movements, basic rotating joints can completely replace the turning magic arrays."

"But in this way, the flexibility of the robotic arm will inevitably be greatly reduced." Lin Jiayi touched his chin thoughtfully, but still felt a little worried.

"Teacher, based on my experience these days, some joints on the robotic arm aren't that flexible. After all, robotic arms are similar to our bodies, and soul masters will subconsciously use them as arms. Sometimes, excessive joint flexibility is counterintuitive and rarely works."

Lin Xiao had always felt that the development of soul guides in the Sun-Moon Empire was somewhat distorted. Perhaps because of the existence of soul power, soul guide arrays could do so much, and therefore the soul guides here had neglected the most basic things.

In addition to mechanical structures, in Lin Xiao's previous life memories, the development of machinery is inseparable from the iteration of materials. However, in the Sun and Moon Empire, the technology of soul guide arrays has been improving, but the processing of metals has remained simple forging from thousands of years ago to the present day.

Lin Xiao did not deny that in the hands of a soul engineer, the forged metal would exhibit various special properties, but not everyone could achieve that level.

Starting from the most basic materials, developing various metals that inherently have various properties would save a lot of effort and even lower the threshold for soul engineers.

Lin Xiao had never seen these traces of evolution on any soul guide. If the material was not strong enough to support the power of the soul guide, most soul guides would focus on improving their cultivation and engraving more advanced magic arrays, but few would consider increasing the strength of the material itself.

Perhaps it is because the soul guides of the Sun-Moon Empire have been around for too long and the thinking has become fixed, or perhaps it is because the mineral resources of the Sun-Moon Continent are rich enough and there are materials with all kinds of properties, which makes soul guides feel that there is no value in researching new materials.
