Chapter 62 The Second Divine Rune! [Please read on! Please vote!]

"I heard from the uncles and aunts in the sect who are in business that Soto City is developing very rapidly. Uncle, do you think I should go to Soto City with you for a visit?" Ning Rongrong's clever little brain was working like crazy, and then she told Ning Quan her idea.

Ning Quan called her father "cousin," and she had a pretty good impression of this handsome, cheerful uncle who was only fifteen or sixteen years older than her, even when he was killing someone. On the contrary, she had a lot of complaints about her grandfather, who always had a stern face towards her.

"Hehe." Ning Quan chuckled softly, praising the increasingly graceful young girl, "The young sect leader's wisdom is in no way inferior to the sect leader's. The rapid development of Soto City will inevitably attract countless soul masters seeking to change their fate, as well as forces from all sides. It's destined to become a place teeming with talent. If the sect leader knew that the young sect leader possessed such foresight, he would surely be very gratified!"

Perhaps one reason why Ning Rongrong has a good impression of Ning Quan is because he is so good at praising people?

"Where?" Ning Rongrong was a little embarrassed by the praise. She was like a cat that only responds when you pet it. If you pet it against its natural direction, it will get angry, but if you pet it in the right direction, it will become very docile.

Ning Rongrong's small hands were tangled together behind her back, and she felt a little guilty and embarrassed.

She clearly just thought it would be a lot of fun, since the headquarters of the Technology Chamber of Commerce was there and it would be crowded and lively.

How come in Ning Quan's words it's a visionary perspective that transcends worldly concerns?

But since he praised me like that, if I say I just wanted to go have fun, wouldn't that damage my hard-earned good image?

Ugh, so annoying! Is this what they call maintaining an idol image?

Ning Rongrong was somewhat conflicted, but in the end, she reluctantly admitted her "extraordinary foresight".

However, the quirky Ning Rongrong felt as if she had heard the same words somewhere before.

Suddenly, she felt a dull ache in her ankle again.

Inside the temporary soul tool workshop, Chen Hong was using his martial soul power to explore the special properties of the deep-sea secret soul gold.

He needed to figure out one thing: what was the underlying principle behind the Deep Sea Secret Soul Gold's ability to absorb spiritual and soul energy?

Is this an inherent property of metal particles? Or is there something supernatural between metal particles?

These are all things Chen Hong needs to understand. Only by understanding these issues can Chen Hong begin to utilize the relevant metallic properties and phenomena to achieve his goals through different means.

Chen Hong sat there for half a day, and apart from consuming a small amount of food, he spent the entire time in the room using his martial soul power to explore the unique effects of the Deep Sea Secret Soul Gold.

There seems to be a strange magnetic field inside, capable of attracting things related to the spirit and soul.

"I wonder if we can expand on this further. If we can analyze this phenomenon, then not only could we create related soul tools, but we might even have anti-sensory coatings?"

After half a day of contemplation, Chen Hong finally understood some of the characteristics of the Deep Sea Secret Soul Gold.

First, this metal possesses a very magical magnetic field. Chen Hong used the characteristics of his martial soul to forcibly let his mental energy flow within it.

Sometimes, being weak has its advantages.

As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. Chen Hong's mental strength was too weak, which allowed him to drift along with the weak soul-absorbing magnetic field of the Deep Sea Secret Soul Gold Fragments, thus gradually discovering the operating rules of this magnetic field.

"Soul power is perhaps just fragments of rules."

Inside the temporary soul tool workshop, Chen Hong slowly opened his tightly closed eyes and sighed inwardly.

Due to the unique nature of his martial soul, Chen Hong was able to gradually observe some extremely small objects. If he were to use his martial soul abilities, he would be able to alter the trajectory of those tiny objects, whether it was through a distance or by flying on a sword.

However, his own cultivation level was not high and his mental strength was not strong enough, which meant that he could only see with his "eyes" and could not move those things with his own abilities.

Through Chen Hong's careful observation, he discovered that the magnetic field inside the Deep Sea Secret Soul Gold Fragments also contained soul power fragments, which were also fragments of rules or the effect of regular patterns.

First of all, those metal particles seem to have an innate ability to attract soul power. Chen Hong's level is not high enough to directly observe those metal particles, but he can sense the trajectory of the magnetic field through the soul-absorbing magnetic field formed by these metal particles.

Ever since Chen Hong discovered that his soul ring contained divine runes of rules, it was as if he had discovered a completely new world, a world that had changed entirely in his eyes.

In other words, since Chen Hong changed his worldview and methodology, the world no longer appears to him as the mysterious world of "divinely granted authority" as traditional soul masters have always perceived it.

Everything is observable, everything is perceptible, everything is understandable, and everything can be replicated!

Chen Hong sat cross-legged on the spot, trying to simulate the operation of the Deep Sea Secret Soul Gold Soul Absorption Magnetic Field in his mind. After trying it, he found that it was just as difficult as when he tried to imitate and replicate the [Sage] Divine Rune, and it might even be more difficult.

"I'll call you the [Secret Soul] rune for now. After I've thoroughly researched its effects, I'll decide whether to rename it."

Chen Hong discovered that the Deep Sea Secret Soul Gold in his hand was another very powerful trump card, and he was able to witness the powerful effect of this divine rune.

If applied to equipment coatings, then traditional Soul Masters rely entirely on their mental perception to sense enemies beyond visual range. Even their so-called intuition depends heavily on the latent signals transmitted back by their undoubtedly diffused mental energy after detecting abnormal objects. In any case, this would greatly reduce the probability of being detected by the enemy.

Just like the radar cloaking effect in some technologically advanced civilizations, you can see the other person with your naked eye, but your radar cannot scan them. In the Douluo Continent world, this means that a Soul Master's spiritual power cannot scan those wearing this special coating.

Imagine building an army with this kind of coating. Just thinking about it is terrifying.

Even a titled Douluo would be terrified at first glance when faced with a force that is almost completely silent in the mental realm.

This is merely a simple, modern application of this deep-sea secret soul gold by Chen Hong.
