Chapter 387 Soul Core Soul Master? No! Super Soul Core Soul Guidance Device! [Please Subscribe! Please Vote!]

"Sorry! I lost my composure!" Qian Daoliu steadied himself slightly, then asked Chen Hong, "So, what level can the Soul Core currently achieve?"

Chen Hong named this soul power factor polymer "Soul Core" because it truly could change the development direction of existing soul tools.

For example, a normal soul tool requires a soul master to inject soul power to activate it. But if you add a soul core, a bone spirit, and... well, a mental network... what the hell is this—a fully automated, intelligent combat robot?!

A person's underlying mindset will ultimately lead them to unconsciously gravitate towards their areas of expertise. In his previous life, Chen Hong was a battlefield mechanical engineer, so he naturally had a deep interest in individual combat armor. Early research on soul tools didn't seem to advance towards individual combat armor, but in reality, when all soul-guiding technologies converged before the Soul Core, a creation considered the pinnacle of soul mechanics, Chen Hong's next strategic step, which he had never mentioned to anyone, finally began to surface.

"Currently, soul core extraction is quite complex and difficult, and can only be used as a special case. To achieve widespread adoption or simplification, other soul guidance technologies need further development. Moreover, there's another problem with current soul cores: compatibility." Chen Hong handed the Blue Silver Grass soul core to Qian Daoliu and then briefly explained its effects.

"This Blue Silver Grass Soul Core, which is gradually losing its vitality, is estimated to have a level of innate fifth-grade soul power activity. By using an external soul core, Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters with innate soul power level of zero can obtain the opportunity to cultivate soul power."

"Only Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters can obtain the opportunity to cultivate soul power?" Qian Daoliu frowned upon hearing this, thinking to himself that the restriction was so severe. But then again, it made sense. If such a heaven-defying technology that reversed one's innate abilities could exist, then even if the restriction was more severe, Qian Daoliu felt it was acceptable.

"Well, actually, this limitation isn't as severe as you might imagine, senior." Chen Hong seemed to have read Qian Daoliu's thoughts, so he continued to explain to Qian Daoliu: "This is mainly due to insufficient technical capabilities. For example, if we call soul power that has no obvious elemental reaction and is in a chaotic state first-level soul power, then soul power that contains elemental attributes would be called second-level soul power in energy science."

"Secondary soul power?" Qian Daoliu was a little confused. Chen Hong always managed to come up with some new terms that he didn't quite understand, but which sounded impressive.

"To put it simply, senior, heat moves from high to low, and energy dissipates from higher to lower levels. The chaotic soul power with balanced elements exists in a higher dimension, but after dissipating downwards, it degenerates into elemental soul power where various elemental energies conflict with each other."

"To use an old saying, 'The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things.' Well, it's okay if you don't understand, senior." Chen Hong wanted to give Qian Daoliu a simple explanation of the energy classification and thermal death entropy increase, but through his keen spiritual perception, he had already noticed that Qian Daoliu's spiritual fluctuations fluctuated slightly the moment he began to explain energy science, and then turned into a stagnant pool.

It possesses a simple beauty that says, "Take your time, I don't understand anyway."

Therefore, Chen Hong decisively abandoned explaining to Qian Daoliu and instead directly told him the specific effects of the Blue Silver Grass Soul Core: "The soul power that the Black Lotus Soul Eye can currently observe is all secondary soul power, that is, elemental soul power. If the Blue Silver Grass Soul Core can theoretically achieve 100% effectiveness in the hands of a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master, then in the hands of a Soul Master whose soul power attribute is grass and wood, the Blue Silver Grass Soul Core can achieve 50% to 90% effectiveness. If it is a Soul Master of a different attribute, the Blue Silver Grass Soul Core can only achieve 50% or even less effectiveness."

"Soul cores are not unusable, but due to the different attributes of life energy within a soul master, the theoretical effects of soul cores may deviate."

The Blue Silver Grass Soul Core that Chen Hong created for experimental purposes should strictly be called a secondary Soul Core. It's still a 'dimension' away from a primary Soul Core that can ignore the differences in the life energy attributes of Soul Masters. The difference in Soul Power quality between a secondary Soul Core and a primary Soul Core is like heaven and earth. Chen Hong isn't even sure if he can create a primary Soul Core in his lifetime.

Even Chen Hong, having achieved godhood, wasn't certain he could create a master-level soul core. This is because, in terms of energy levels, a secondary soul core corresponds to elemental energy, while a master-level soul core corresponds to chaotic energy. As the saying goes, the five elements converge, and yin and yang begin to emerge. The higher level of elemental energy should be positive and negative yin and yang, and above that is chaos or nothingness. Chen Hong's previous civilization, as an interstellar civilization, naturally had contact with matter and antimatter energy. Although much of this metaphysical knowledge sounds mysterious and absurd, the underlying logic always manages to point directly to the Great Dao in a very ingenious way.

For a long time, the Technology Chamber of Commerce could only produce secondary soul cores. Of course, the higher-level main soul cores were not a problem that the Douluo Continent needed to consider at the moment. Let's talk about that after everyone has moved towards an era of happy and healthy life for all soul masters.

Moreover, Chen Hong was actually keeping something from Qian Daoliu. Of course, it wasn't really keeping something from him; it was just that Qian Daoliu hadn't asked him. If Qian Daoliu could come up with another use for the secondary soul core without side effects, then Chen Hong would naturally tell him everything without reservation.

What is another use for the secondary soul core?

Soul-guided device!

A super soul tool paired with a secondary soul core!

The term "ordinary" is no longer sufficient to describe this brand-new soul tool; it can only be distinguished as a "super soul tool."

Soul guide runes that can unleash soul skills, soul guide crystals that can store soul power, and secondary soul cores that can self-charge! There are also soul bone spirits with super intelligence and mental networks with powerful computing capabilities!

Everything, in the end, converged at this moment in the secondary soul core in Chen Hong's hand.

Soul tools don't need to consider the weak physical condition of a soul master. Whatever a soul master needs, they can use the corresponding soul tool materials, inscriptions, or even divine inscriptions.

Furthermore, Soul Core Masters (new Soul Masters using secondary Soul Cores) need to consider their physical endurance, while Soul Core Soul Tools can directly follow the megastructure route. That is, multiple levels of Soul Cores can be equipped in the same Soul Core Soul Tool, and various elemental Soul Powers can be used.

and,

Using combination soul skills or even fusion soul skills is not impossible.
