Douluo Continent: Ghost Rider, Heavenly Blade Burning Soul!

Chapter 66 Detector, Radioactive Materials?

This mineral is no less precious than chalcedony.

Although the hardness of the chalcedony is very good, it has a major drawback: it is not tough enough and is very brittle, so it can only be used for general engraving.

Dragon Blood Stone, on the other hand, can withstand the attacks of a Limit Douluo, demonstrating its exceptional toughness.

It can be used to create the core and important parts of a soul tool.

Jing Hongchen took out a 10cm thick, 45cm diameter jadeite cushion.

Reluctantly, Jing Hongchen said, "How about this, young friend Qin Hao, I'll exchange this Cold Jade Marrow Futon for these two Dragon Blood Stones?"

To obtain these two pieces of dragon bloodstone, Jing Hongchen went all out. She had only made two jade futons; one for her granddaughter Meng Hongchen, and this was the last one.

"make a deal!"

Qin Hao agreed without hesitation.

Trading two pieces of dragon bloodstone for such a large piece of cold jade marrow is an absolute steal. He still has hundreds of cubic meters of these dragon bloodstones. Right now, that's the thing he has the most of on his body.

Seeing how readily Qin Hao agreed, Jing Hongchen suddenly realized something.

It seems I've suffered a huge loss in this deal. Qin Hao definitely has a considerable amount of Dragon Bloodstone.

Qin Hao reached out to take the Cold Jade Marrow Futon, but Jing Hongchen held on tightly.

Qin Hao questioned, "What, does the Master of the Red Dust Hall want to go back on his word?"

"Could you add a few more? I can pay a little extra Gold Soul Coins to buy them. These Dragon Bloodstones can only be used for material testing and cannot be used for other purposes, so they don't have much value."

Dragon bloodstone is indeed very important, but its rarity makes it valuable. He always felt like he was being taken advantage of.

Jing Hongchen wanted to get more.

At the very least, we need to get a few decent ninth-tier soul tools.

"Considering the fact that Master Hongchen gave me the carving knife, I can add two more dragon blood stones. However, I have one condition."

"What are the conditions?"

"I need a complete set of data from the Dragon Bloodstone material test." Dragon Bloodstone has never existed in this world before, and its specific uses are still unclear. A lot of verification is needed, which is a thankless and arduous task.

Therefore, it's more time-efficient to leave this work to professionals. The two pieces of dragon bloodstone can also be considered their payment for their work.

"No problem!"

Jing Hongchen readily agreed; verifying the material data was something that needed to be done anyway, and it was a simple task. However, the specific application would definitely not be revealed—that was the most crucial aspect.

Upon hearing this, Qin Hao took out two more Dragon Blood Stones and gave them to Jing Hongchen.

After obtaining the ore, Jing Hongchen immediately went to the laboratory to conduct verification work.

……

"Hello, I am Lin Jiayi, the deputy director of the Soul Guidance Department of Sun Moon Royal Academy. I will be in charge of arranging your enrollment process from now on."

"Hello, Director Lin!"

Looking at the chubby head of the teaching department in front of him, he must be the one who received Huo Yuhao when he enrolled.

A capable disciple of Jing Hongchen, an eighth-level Soul Master.

Lin Jiayi nodded slightly, very satisfied with Qin Hao's emotional intelligence.

People usually call him Teacher Lin, or Deputy Director Lin.

The young man's address of "Director Lin" touched his heart.

No wonder she's someone Teacher Hongchen values.

I just don't know how strong they are.

Lin Jiayi led Qin Hao and Vina to a clean, simple, and high-tech room.

"Teacher Lin, what are these?"

Vina stared in shock at the soul tool that was the size of a room.

He had never seen such a massive soul tool before.

There seemed to be unusual fluctuations above.

Her martial spirit is her brain, which makes her extremely sensitive to these frequencies.

Lin Jiayi explained, "This is a soul-guided testing device from our Sun Moon Empire. It can accurately scan each student's physique and thus create the most suitable learning plan. Because each test requires a large amount of soul power and materials, only disciples of the inner academy can use it, and it can only be used once a year."

"That sounds amazing!"

As a member of the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire, Vina had never even heard of such a thing before, and today was truly an eye-opener for her.

It seems that soul tools are truly going to permeate every aspect of life.

She can't wait to experience it.

Qin Hao, on the other hand, remained much calmer.

This thing is similar to the X-rays taken in the hospital in my previous life.

However, Qin Hao was very curious about how these people managed to achieve this.

They can even detect soul bones.

Based on reasoning, it is highly likely that radioactive materials were used.

If there are radioactive materials, then there is a possibility of nuclear fission!

Nuclear fission is a terrifying force in interstellar warfare.

Its radiation can also induce gene mutations.

Qin Hao tentatively asked, "Director Lin, what kind of materials does this machine require?"

Lin Jiayi continued to explain, "This material is called fluorescent green crystal. Because it is extremely harmful to the human body, it is a contraband of the Empire and is strictly controlled."

It emits fluorescence and is harmful.

The more I look at this thing, the more it resembles certain radioactive heavy metals.

It seems that the Sun Moon Empire's research on soul tools has progressed to the level of microscopic particles.

Vina asked, "Wouldn't that also be quite harmful to our health?"

They're going inside for testing later.

If something were to happen to you, it wouldn't be worth it.

"If you control the frequency, there won't be any problems. We also have a rule that each student in the inner academy is only allowed to do it twice a year."

It does cause some harm, but its effects are still significant.

Being able to know one's physical limits to the fullest extent allows one to use even more powerful soul tools.

The harm caused by overusing soul tools is far greater than the harm caused by the detection device.

The harm caused by using the detector twice a year is basically negligible.

After hearing Lin Jiayi's answer, Vina felt uneasy.

Even knowing there's no harm in it, you still tend to think about it that way.

Because the unknown is the most terrifying thing.

The green light on the machine lit up, and Lin Jiayi looked at the two of them, asking, "The machine is now fully started. Who wants to test it first?"

"Brother Qin Hao, you go first!"

Vina hid behind Qin Hao and pushed him forward a small step.

She was genuinely terrified of this.

"coward……"

Without saying a word, Qin Hao stepped into the room and lay down directly into the open hatch without any machine prompts.

They seem very skilled at it, as if they've lain in there quite a few times.

"This cabin looks just like a coffin!"

A bad feeling arose in Vina's mind.

"Hachu..."

Qin Hao sneezed without realizing it.

Guided by the machine, the hatch slowly closed, and Qin Hao's body completely disappeared from Vina's sight.

At first, all the indicator lights on the machine lit up, and everything seemed to be working normally.
