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

Chapter 73 Self-Propelled Soul Guide Cannon

It took me a year to come to this realization.

Ever since the Holy Spirit Church started cooperating with Mingdu's two original underground forces, the Ordinary Alliance and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, some of their "businesses" have become more extensive.

Moreover, the three major forces cooperate with each other, and the Holy Spirit Church does not need to take action personally in some matters. There will be more suitable people in the Ordinary Alliance and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.

This also gave disciples like Lin Xiao in the Holy Spirit Church a lot more free time. In the past year, he rarely went to the branch temple, but practiced and studied like other ordinary students.

In the soul guide test area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy, Lin Xiao was rarely not learning how to use other soul guide devices. Instead, he was debugging the soul guide device on the table in a test room.

Lin Jiayi stood aside, quietly watching Lin Xiao's movements. When Lin Xiao's hands gradually slowed down, he spoke softly, "Are you ready?"

"Yeah." Lin Xiao let out a breath and nodded.

Lin Jiayi didn't say much. He walked to the side and pressed a button. Then, he saw a metal target slowly rising fifty meters away.

"Come on, let's try it."

"Okay, teacher." Lin Xiao picked up the soul guide on the table and placed it gently on the ground. After that, he did not send soul power into it. Instead, he took two steps back, raised his hand and pressed it on the table beside him, tapping it lightly twice.

The next moment, the soul guide device that Lin Xiao had just placed on the ground suddenly changed. Several wheels under the chassis began to rotate, driving the entire soul guide device to continuously adjust its position. Then, a gun barrel extended straight out from the top.

Lin Xiao looked at the target in the distance, his eyes moving slightly. The soul guide in front of him seemed to have received some signal. Suddenly, light condensed at the muzzle. In the blink of an eye, a soul guide ray crossed dozens of meters and knocked the metal target to the ground.

Lin Jiayi's eyes lit up, "Yes, it has reached the power of a third-level soul guide cannon."

As he spoke, he lowered his head again and looked at the soul guide on the ground that was beginning to readjust its position. He said in amazement, "I didn't expect that you could actually make this soul guide."

Lin Xiao's eyes also fell on his achievements this year, but he shook his head slightly, "It's still a little different from what I expected. Right now, it still needs the soul guide to determine the target. When it can combine the detection soul guide to determine the target by itself, it will be considered to be truly what I want."

"Haha, don't be too greedy." Lin Jiayi stepped forward and patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder. "It's already very good that you can make such a soul guide with a third-level soul guide. If you want the soul guide to attack itself as you said, I'm afraid it will only be possible with an eighth-level or even ninth-level soul guide."

"By the way, this is the first soul guide you've designed and built yourself since becoming a soul guide. Give it a name."

"Let's call it..." Lin Xiao hesitated, "Self-Propelled Soul Guide Cannon."

He had just mentioned it casually in the Jingyang Mountains, but after returning, he wanted to try whether this idea could be realized through the soul guide.

Over the past year, in addition to learning about soul guides and practicing, he also read a lot of records of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy, which was considered to be a gain.

Based on the principle of the existing sound-transmitting soul guide device, he improved the self-propelled soul guide cannon and equipped it with a component that could receive commands remotely, allowing it to launch attacks without the soul guide's manual operation, and the source of soul power was the charging soul guide installed inside it.

It’s a pity that although it is called “self-propelled”, it still needs to be controlled by a soul master, and it is still quite far from what he had imagined.

Seemingly sensing Lin Xiao's dissatisfaction, Lin Jiayi stepped forward and picked up the self-propelled soul tool cannon again. "Soul tools improve through continuous experimentation. No soul master can create a soul tool that completely satisfies them from the very beginning." "Since the advent of rechargeable soul tools, many people in the academy have been researching how to use them to reduce the pressure on soul masters. But no one has yet managed to make the soul tool completely independent of the soul master like you have. This is a path that no one has ever walked before, so of course, you will encounter many difficulties."

"As your strength continues to improve, you will naturally get closer and closer to your goal." Lin Jiayi smiled, "Also, your soul guide is not as bad as you think."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao looked up at Lin Jiayi.

"Soul guides are used not only in the battles between soul masters, but also on battlefields and in wars. Previously, due to the limited number of high-level soul masters, there weren't many soul guide cannons that could be set up at the same time. But have you ever thought about applying your idea to more advanced soul guide cannons..."

Lin Jiayi's speech speed gradually slowed down.

"By then, even at this level, a high-level soul engineer will be able to simultaneously operate several high-level soul guide cannons. Although the cost of soul guide cannons will increase significantly, as long as both sides can suppress the opponent with crushing firepower at the first moment of confrontation, it will be enough to change the outcome of a war."

"Okay, I'm just giving you an example. You should know better than me how to use this idea of ​​yours." Seeing Lin Xiao's thoughtful look, Lin Jiayi's face suddenly became a little serious. "Now, teacher has one more thing to ask you."

"Teacher, just tell me directly."

"Are you willing to sell this idea of ​​yours to the academy?"

"Ah? Teacher, how do I sell this?"

Lin Jiayi laughed, "You really don't know yet. In fact, every soul guide has their own unique ingenuity in their soul guide device. Like your self-propelled soul guide cannon, before you, no one has ever proposed the idea of ​​completely separating the soul guide and the soul guide cannon."

"Therefore, the academy wants to offer some compensation to teach your idea to other students in the academy. If other soul masters have any improvements to your idea, the academy will also let you know."

"of course can."

Lin Xiao had already understood. Sometimes, the appearance of a soul guide might be due to an inspiration. Although there was no such thing as a "patent" in this world, there were already some established rules among soul guides.

Although the academy had bought his "idea," upon hearing the compensation, he realized it was actually providing an opportunity for students to exchange ideas. One person's wisdom was limited, but the others' wisdom was far greater, so he naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Okay, I'll register your self-propelled soul guide cannon later."

While Lin Xiao and Lin Jiayi were talking, there was a knock on the door.

"I'll go and take a look." Lin Xiao hurried to open the door, but found that the person standing at the door was not a stranger to him.

"Who is it?"

"Teacher, I am Teacher Xuan's student."

"Oh." Lin Jiayi replied helplessly, "Are you here to ask the academy for rare metals again?"
