Chapter 436 A Seventh Soul Ring That Isn't Traditional! [Please Subscribe! Please Vote!]

No matter what kind of world it is, whether it's fantasy or science fiction, some advanced fields require a lot of comprehension and understanding, which cannot be taught through exam-oriented education.

Within the Science and Technology Chamber of Commerce, Chen Hong was described as a natural-born talent. Ning Lu was described as a compassionate and benevolent doctor (Chen Hong: A huge protest!). Chen Lin was described as a late bloomer.

Ning Lu made many achievements in the field of biology in her early years, but Ye Lingling, who came later, was so dazzling that Ning Lu's former brilliance was dimmed.

The feelings towards Chen Lin and his generation within the Technology Chamber of Commerce are extremely complex. Currently, the Technology Chamber of Commerce has absorbed nearly 70% of the scholars and intelligent individuals from the Douluo Continent. People have temporarily set aside their prejudices to join the Technology Chamber of Commerce and learn about its entirely new system of knowledge. Most have been assimilated and chosen to remain in the Technology Chamber of Commerce, while a small number, harboring various ideals and ambitions, have chosen to go to different parts of the continent. However, the Technology Chamber of Commerce never blames them. For it, the ideas of science and technology have always been spreading, and those who left are like tiny sparks that may eventually ignite a fiery and magnificent cloud over the arid wasteland.

The science and technology chamber of commerce, which brings together more than half of the mainland's top talents, is like a collection of stars in the sky. The collision of ideas generates a brainstorming session, much like a star burning brightly after molecular fission.

The light of stars can destroy life.

But life cannot exist without the light of stars.

The Sotho Technology Treasury within the Technology Chamber of Commerce contains many unfinished technologies capable of destroying both humans and spirit beasts. In reality, technology itself isn't divided into finished and unfinished products; it's just that when the developers of a technology feel that releasing it now would do more harm than good, they label it as unfinished.

Thanks to the enhancement of soul power and spiritual power, the technological development speed of the Technology Chamber of Commerce is at least ten times that of ordinary technological civilizations. Although they have been officially established for less than ten years, the changes that have occurred within them are equivalent to two industrial revolutions for ordinary surface technological civilizations.

Several well-known semi-finished technologies from Soto's technology treasury:

Number 007: Glass Assist Technology - Soto Third Research Group (Ningyi): Small-scale reopening, large-scale opening temporarily prohibited.

What's funny is that the technology that could overturn the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's value was developed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's own people. After all, who understands their own spirit better than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's own spirit masters?

However, just as Chen Hong once wrote in "Soul Ring Theory" that "the path to redemption may lie within it", perhaps that Soul Master named Ning Yi was carrying such a belief?

Number 034: Overclocking Divine Rune - Soto First Research Group (Chen Hong): Special divine rune, stimulating the soul is limited to use by the Battle Soul Device.

Number 041: Soul Power Divine Rune - Soto Second Research Group (Chen Lin): Semi-unlocked, can be retrieved by Level 3 and above project groups.

Number 058: Grafted Plants - Soul Beast Technology - Soto Second Research Group (Ning Lu - Ye Lingling): Experimental products are unstable and the technology is immature. Banned.

Number 098: Intelligence Reduction Aura Technology - Soto First Research Group (Chen Hong): Banned.

Number 099: Induced Ring Explosion Technology - Soto First Research Group (Chen Hong): Blocked!

Any one of these "half-finished" technologies, if released into circulation on the mainland, would cause immense turmoil. In particular, those half-finished technologies that are currently under "ban" have the potential to overturn the mainland's understanding of civilization. Those half-finished technologies without any explanation are even more terrifying in their destructive power.

The principle behind the "Intelligence-Lowering Aura" is almost identical to that of the "Sage's Ring." Chen Hong didn't spend much time developing it, and then his father, Chen Lin, threw it into the "half-finished technology" category of the Soto Technology Treasury.

Chen Lin (throwing the Book of Forbidden Things over): What else have you developed? Write it down yourself.

Chen Hong: Uh, okay. (With a few quick strokes, he wrote down the Induced Explosion Ring Technology - All-Species Soul Ring Technology)

Chen Lin: Great! Great! Great! Awesome! You really are awesome! Indeed, when it comes to being inhuman, you're definitely not human!

Chen Hong: Uh, I just made up for the regret that humans can't obtain spirit rings.

Chen Lin: Are you planning to make up for the regret that humans can't obtain soul bones next?

Chen Hong: If Dad insists on saying it that way, then it's not impossible.

Chen Lin: ? ? ?

Within six months, Chen Hong had managed to figure out the principle behind stimulating humans to generate Soul Rings. Just as he had established the theoretical foundation, Chen Lin raided his home. Literally, the raid involved taking all of Chen Hong's technical data with him.

Humans can condense spirit rings, so they can naturally also obtain spirit rings by chance. This is because a human's martial spirit actually corresponds to the spirit beast's natal spirit ring. Once this logic is understood, obtaining human spirit rings becomes a feasible task.

What's infuriating is that Chen Hong's brilliant idea, which came to him in a flash of inspiration, was reported by a spy before it could even be tested. His parents gave him a dressing down and then emptied all his data, sealing it away in the database.

Chen Hong originally thought Chen Lin was going to delete his data, but it turned out to be a seal.

In Chen Lin's words:

What if there's an opportunity to use it?

This is part of the reason for the complex attitude towards the Chen Lin family within the Technology Chamber of Commerce. Chen Hong and Chen Lin are almost identical, while Ye Lingling is just like Ning Lu, and each generation is stronger than the last. Moreover, each generation is more dangerous than the last.

Everyone both admired and feared them.

"Where did Old Deng learn this obsessive-compulsive disorder? Oh well, I already have targets for the sixth, eighth, and ninth spirit rings. If the plan goes smoothly and each step is interconnected, I should be able to reach level 99." Chen Hong thought for a moment. Let Old Deng do whatever he likes. Anyway, his family members are all doing their own thing now and can all stand on their own. They're not like the weaklings they used to be.

"Reach level 99?" Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling couldn't help but roll her eyes at Chen Hong. Did this guy mean he was going to jump from level 90 to level 99 in one step? Well, the possibility was not small!

Anything that twin martial souls can do, Chen Hong can also do if he takes it to the extreme!

Moreover, as he gained a broader understanding of various fields of knowledge, Chen Hong vaguely felt that the Twin Martial Souls were a huge trap.

but,

"You're not going to absorb your seventh spirit ring?" Ye Lingling suddenly realized this problem; this wasn't like the lazy Chen Hong at all.

"The seventh spirit ring is a bit special. I speculate that the true form of a martial spirit in traditional thinking might be a false form."

Chen Hong looked intently at Ye Lingling and said this with a smile.

Ning Quan had told him that he had accidentally condensed his seventh spirit ring before he started his cultivation.

His seventh spirit ring is not a weapon spirit true form in the traditional sense.

Rather, it is a single move that reveals the origin of the Dao!
