From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 91 [Secret Soul] Divine Runes! [Bonus Chapter for 200 Monthly Tickets!]

"How long will it take for this to end?" Ning Quan suddenly asked curiously as the two uncles and nephews, each carrying a gourd of wine, walked back to their dormitory.

"I expect it to take two or three months, I'll try to get the second soul ring before it gets a bit troublesome." Chen Hong opened the wine gourd, and a medicinal fragrance wafted out. He took a small sip, and a warm sensation immediately spread throughout his body as it went down his throat. Chen Hong felt that the speed of his soul power circulation had increased several levels.

"Next time, let's bring Bajie over. The Technology Chamber of Commerce doesn't have that many places for it to play. Shrek Academy has plenty of grass." Chen Hong still hadn't forgotten that he was raising a little pig.

"I've found a completely new way to make the Sage's Ring. I'll make a simple, small soul tool for my mom when the time comes."

"Okay." Ning Quan nodded, tilted his head back and took a swig of the medicinal wine his sister had brewed, feeling a wave of comfort wash over him.

"Those people from the Armed Forces Department are expected to arrive in batches in about a week, and your brother-in-law will also send a group of trustworthy craftsmen to help you." Ning Quan kept reporting the latest developments to Chen Hong.

The Technology Chamber of Commerce is now on the right track. Chen Lin is constantly integrating artisans from other places, Ning Lu is making her own medicinal wine, indirectly exploring the properties of medicinal herbs, creating different prescriptions, and also providing the Technology Chamber of Commerce with some management talent from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. As for Chen Hong, he is planning Shrek Academy, creating a talent training base for the Technology Chamber of Commerce.

Compared to building a school from scratch, "taking over" is the wisest course of action for the Technology Chamber of Commerce at present.

Furthermore, the Technology Chamber of Commerce not only "usurped" Shrek Academy's territory, but also "colluded with a tiger," attempting to use Shrek Academy to continuously draw in people from other Soul Master factions, indirectly supporting the Technology Chamber of Commerce.

"That's good. I recently organized some basics of soul tools, from simple to complex, from superficial to profound. I won't throw out my core knowledge all at once. I'll wait for the Technology Chamber of Commerce to continue developing for a few more years before we can withstand the flood of ideas about the principles of soul tools."

Chen Hong will not directly teach others the core logic of soul tools. He still needs time to grow. He will only teach the soul tool technology that the Technology Chamber of Commerce is currently selling.

Among them are the [Purifying Heart] Soul Guidance Device, the principle of Soul Motion, and the application of various metal materials.

Chen Hong doesn't plan to release the inscription technology at the core of the soul tool for the time being; he needs to keep it in hand and refine it further.

"That's up to you. I don't care about these things." Ning Quan chuckled softly, chatted with Chen Hong for a while longer, then said goodbye and returned to his dormitory.

Chen Hong returned to the dormitory next door, took a sip of the medicinal wine from the gourd, and began to meditate and cultivate.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. The medicinal wine given by Ning Lu had a very good effect on Chen Hong, whose soul power level was already low. It allowed Chen Hong, who was just a little short of level 18, to break through to level 18 on the second day. In the following two months, he improved by two more levels, bringing Chen Hong to the bottleneck of level 20.

However, Chen Hong also discovered that the effects of the medicinal wine were gradually decreasing, and the vat of medicinal wine brewed by Ning Lu had been consumed by Chen Lin, Ning Lu, Ning Quan, and Chen Hong over the past two months.

Ning Quan's soul power became more and more solid. Although he was still at level 62, he said that he wouldn't be far from level 63.

Over the past two months, Shrek Academy has become increasingly lively. Chen Hong has designated a separate area within the academy to establish the Shrek Academy Soul Tool Institute. During these two months, Chen Hong has taught some of the soul tool manufacturing techniques currently sold by the Technology Chamber of Commerce, enabling some craftsmen to gradually become first-level soul tool masters.

Chen Hong's definition of a Soul Tool Master is that the level of the Soul Tool you create determines the effectiveness of its function in combat against Soul Masters of a certain level. It does not depend on the Soul Master's own Soul Power level.

For example, the spirit infusion rod that Chen Hong gave to Oscar before, its internal spirit guidance inscriptions and spirit guidance materials could only have an extremely weak effect on a six-ring spirit emperor at the same level. So that spirit guidance device was called a level five spirit guidance device, which means that its maximum influence intensity was at the level of a five-ring spirit king.

Since most of the artisans from the Technology Chamber of Commerce who were able to receive training from Chen Hong had worked on the production line within the Technology Chamber of Commerce, they had a basic understanding of soul tools and were able to quickly master the knowledge that Chen Hong taught them.

However, due to limitations in their mental strength, understanding and proficiency with soul guidance inscriptions, and the proper use of soul guidance materials, the same soul guidance device can only perform the function of a level one soul guidance device in their hands.

However, Chen Hong was still quite satisfied with this, after all, you can't be too demanding, right?

The Martial Soul Department of the Science and Technology Chamber of Commerce recently recruited more than ten Soul Masters, who, under the guidance of the Silver Wolf Soul Emperor and the Sword Dragon Soul Emperor, went to Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department for training.

Although Shrek Academy's education is somewhat lacking, to the members of the Science and Technology Chamber of Commerce's Armed Forces Department, Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, Flander, and others from Shrek Academy are walking, talking training manuals for Soul Master combat. As long as they are willing to share their understanding of the training process and engage in practical combat training with them, it will be of great help.

These extensive cultivation and combat experiences of high-level Soul Masters are something that Soul Emperor Silver Wolf and Soul Emperor Sword Dragon, among others, could not experience in the martial world.

In the world of martial arts, among Soul Masters, how could anyone, without any kinship or acquaintance, be willing to confide in you and share their Soul Master experience with you?

Meanwhile, on the Shrek Seven Devils' side, after Flander's intensive training, the seven of them developed a better understanding of each other, and even their soul power improved.

However, none of this concerned Chen Hong. Apart from teaching the craftsmen of the Soul Guidance Weapon Academy simple inscription techniques and the properties of soul guidance metals, he spent most of his time cultivating and observing the Deep Sea Secret Soul Gold that he had placed in a small glass bottle.

Finally, perseverance paid off. As Chen Hong's understanding of divine runes deepened, he also gained a greater appreciation for the particle properties of the Deep Sea Secret Soul Gold, which eventually became his second divine rune, [Secret Soul], allowing him to fully comprehend the logic of soul power flow.

"In that case, I've finally gotten rid of one of my biggest headaches."

Inside the Shrek Academy faculty dormitory, under Ning Quan's supervision, Chen Hong picked up a Soul-Nourishing Crystal covered with dark blue secret soul runes and gently pressed it against the Sage's Ring on his forehead.

"Perhaps this is the official beginning of the field of soul tools."

A yellow halo flashed in his black eyes as Chen Hong said calmly.

The power was out for most of yesterday and only came back on in the evening, so I couldn't add any extra chapters.
