Chapter 383 Soul Power Particles! Soul Power Factors! [Please subscribe! Please vote!]

The matchmaking system in Killing City is opaque, leaving a great deal of room for manipulation, but only the Killing King of Killing City can do so.

If Tang San and Hu Liena are paired together, only one of them can survive in the arena.

Therefore, there are only two possible outcomes: Tang San dies, or the City of Slaughter is destroyed.

Hu Liena, who had spent a year in the City of Slaughter, dared to say such things because, through various channels, she had learned some information from former members of the Spirit Hall within the City of Slaughter, namely, the strength of the King of Slaughter.

The King of Slaughter is a level 99 demigod-level peerless Douluo, and he also possesses an extremely domineering Slaughter Domain that can suppress magic—the Slaughter Domain. His strength is beyond words.

This being is indeed very strong, but it is not strong enough in front of the Spirit Hall.

Furthermore, the Spirit Hall has always had some kind of "connection" with the City of Slaughter. Hu Liena herself is the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, and her teacher and adoptive mother, Bibi Dong, was the last person to break through the City of Slaughter. If Hu Liena were to perish in the City of Slaughter under these circumstances, then the City of Slaughter would be asking for trouble.

Although the City of Slaughter ostensibly operates on the principle of life and death being determined by fate, there are always some interpersonal considerations involved. Both Tang San and Hu Liena are individuals with powerful backgrounds; they merely want to gain experience and obtain the Killing God Domain. If the King of Slaughter insists on causing trouble, then the Spirit Hall will naturally use its abilities to make him unhappy.

Furthermore, Hu Liena had a great source of confidence: Chen Hong, the young master of the Science and Technology Chamber of Commerce!

Although she has become a "loser," her identity as an "angel investor" is absolutely genuine! Hu Liena didn't know what Chen Hong would do, but she believed that with Chen Hong's character of repaying kindness and avenging wrongs, he would definitely give the Killing City a small technological shock.

However, Hu Liena is unaware that the one who will ultimately shock the City of Slaughter is not Chen Hong, but a girl who is preparing to inflict pain on the world.

Soto City, Tiandou Empire.

"Hmm, so these are soul power particles?"

Inside the private laboratory of the Soto City Technology Chamber of Commerce, Chen Hong gently rubbed his slightly sore eyes, looked up from a machine that resembled a microscope but was much larger and had a rougher appearance, and murmured to himself about the crystal plate, which was made of soul-gathering crystal and polished to the size of a fingernail, located beneath the machine called the "Temporary Soul Power Observer".

After securing a "family member position" for Ye Lingling, Chen Hong returned to Soto City under Dugu Bo's "escort." At that time, only Poison Douluo and Golden Crocodile Douluo were guarding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley (Dugu Bo had ultimately managed to join the Spirit Hall's ranks). Sending Dugu Bo out wasn't because Dugu Bo was particularly capable, but because Golden Crocodile Douluo felt Dugu Bo alone couldn't properly protect the valley. As for Chen Hong's safety, Golden Crocodile Douluo had already learned some information from Qian Daoliu, so there was no need to worry too much.

Poison Douluo: Elder Jin entrusted Chen Hong to me with such confidence because I am strong enough?

Golden Crocodile Douluo: No, it's because you're too weak.

Poison Douluo:

Upon returning to Soto City, Chen Hong first explained his eye problem to his parents, Ning Lu and Chen Lin. After exchanging pleasantries, he began to conduct "soul power research" by taking advantage of the abundant resources available in Soto City.

Back in the Sea Soul Islands, due to various reasons, even though Chen Hong knew that what his Black Lotus Soul Eyes saw was the fragments of this world's rules—soul power—he lacked sufficient time and resources to study it, and thus it was delayed until now.

"Microscopic structures do indeed greatly reduce the consumption of my extraordinary vision, and will no longer cause my brain to crash."

Inside the expanded Soto Soul Guidance Research Institute, Chen Hong rubbed his eyes and found that they were only slightly tired and sore, but otherwise fine. He breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Practice has proven that the terrifying side effects of the Black Lotus Soul Eyes, just as Chen Hong had predicted, were due to his direct "staring directly at the sun." With his mere level 43 Soul Master strength, he dared to attempt to directly see the world—no, to observe the movement of soul power in heaven and earth—the information generated in that instant would directly drain Chen Hong's mental energy and brain's processing power, resulting in various severe side effects.

Conversely, if a microscopic structure is used to control Chen Hong's Black Lotus Soul Eye's field of vision to a very narrow viewing distance, then with the support of the Soto Mental Network, Chen Hong can almost continuously observe the soul power particles in the soul power crystal in a way that has no side effects.

"If this is soul power particles, and we regard it as a form of energy, then the organs or cells produced in the body of living organisms that absorb soul power should be a kind of thing that stores soul power."

The soul power particles on the soul power crystal plate appeared as wave-particles in Chen Hong's extraordinary vision, emitting different shimmering lights, which seemed to be elemental attributes.

"The development of things has always been a process from simple to complex, from high-dimensional to low-dimensional to low-dimensional to high-dimensional. The intellectual leaps of certain civilizations, influenced by high-dimensional information, led them to arrive at some abstract truths about the world early on, such as the Five Elements theory, the Yin-Yang theory, and finally the chaotic ether of the unity of Yin and Yang."

Inside the Soto Soul Guidance Research Institute, Chen Hong had the big-headed doll [Huang] beside him record the experimental process while rubbing his now dim and lifeless Black Lotus Soul Eyes and muttering to himself.

"Therefore, the soul power elemental attributes that I can observe should actually still belong to the 'low-dimensional, high-level' state."

When civilizations advance to the interstellar age, and face "supernatural technologies" such as space weapons and dimensional weapons, many of the technological theories of the surface civilization era will have to be reconstructed.

In his previous life, Chen Hong had the privilege of observing a civilization experiment: the deployment of advanced interstellar technology to a surface civilization that had just emerged from a state of ignorance, with the aim of recording the surface civilization's observational findings.

The final conclusion is quite chilling upon closer examination.

Because that surface civilization could not comprehend the advanced technology of the interstellar civilization, it was through the interpretation of a rare sage that, in an extremely abstract way, fragmented and deconstructed the advanced technology of the interstellar civilization.

This abstract expression was long known as "Seperse" in the development of that surface civilization.

In the language of the Lanja civilization, it would be translated as "metaphysics".
