Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San to fight Gangzi

Chapter 95 Array Circuit, the Essence of Soul Guidance Devices

"After the lightning soul power is transmitted through the wires, it passes through the tungsten filament light bulb, heating the filament until it is red-hot, and then returns to my hand."

"If it weren't for the poor quality of the tungsten filament light bulb, it could have kept burning for at least several days."

Xiao Lin's words made Tang San, an engineering student, seem thoughtful, while Xiao Wu, who was illiterate, was completely confused and could only nod along with Tang San.

"Hmm, I understand. So the energy within the spirit ring, which is spirit power, is also a loop?"

Tang San now understands it somewhat, but he seems to find that this circuit is quite convenient.

It also seems to enhance the hidden weapon.

"Pretty much. Soul tools also need our soul power to replenish them. Some can even store a little soul power inside, which can be used for a few days."

As Xiao Lin spoke, he pointed to the lighting soul guide device above the secret base.

Tang San pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up with excitement: "It's unbelievable that people in ancient times could invent such things."

Tang San's interest grew even stronger, and he secretly vowed to learn how to use soul tools.

Then surpass the Tang Clan of the previous life.

You won't let me learn, but this time, I'm determined to surpass you.

Tang San encouraged himself in his heart.

"Alright, you have a general understanding of the loop, but this simple loop should be the simplest soul tool structure."

"Once you add a switch, it will be almost identical to the lighting soul tool mentioned above."

"Xiao San, your task today is to disassemble the other lighting soul tools you bought and use the Purple Demon Eye to examine the soul power arrangement inside."

"I'll cover that in the next class."

After entrusting the task to the observant Tang San, Xiao Lin began writing the four large characters "Array Path" on the blackboard.

This left Tang San somewhat bewildered. He understood the formation, but he hadn't seriously read the relevant books, nor did he know how to create formations. He also had some idea about the circuit.

But when the two are combined, he understands nothing at all.

The silly rabbit Xiao Wu standing to the side was completely bewildered.

What's going on? Isn't the self-condensing soul ring supposed to be... well, you know... and then... well, you know...?

Although Xiao Wu can condense her own soul rings, it is still very difficult for her to explain why.

Seeing the puzzled expressions on their faces, Xiao Lin sighed inwardly. He was just an ordinary person who had only learned a little about circuits, yet he had to teach two illiterate people.

One was an illiterate man from ancient times, and the other was an illiterate wild rabbit.

Xiao Lin ignored the rascal Xiao Wu and then drew a circle on the blackboard.

"Look closely at this circle. I consider it an attack soul skill, a very weak one, the kind where you release soul power enough to kill an ant."

Fearing that Tang San and the others might not understand, Xiao Lin added many more descriptions and embellishments.

This kind of attacking soul skill isn't really an attacking soul skill. As long as the soul master uses their own soul power to suppress the ant, they can basically kill the ant.

However, for the sake of ease of understanding, Xiao Lin simply said it that way.

Then Xiao Lin drew another circle in another place and drew a straight line connecting the two circles.

"Okay, what if I keep channeling soul power into the first circle? Will the first circle continuously unleash attack soul skills?"

Xiao Lin asked and answered his own question, no longer needing their answers, as long as they could understand.

Seeing Tang San frown but still nod seriously, Xiao Lin felt a little comforted.

We'll just ignore Xiao Wu, the troublemaker.

"Then, after the first circle keeps releasing attack soul skills, does it encounter the second circle? And then this circle will also keep releasing attack soul skills."

"Does everyone understand this?"

Neither Tang San nor Xiao Wu spoke, but Tang San nodded and remained silent in thought.

"OK, if we add a circle here, so that the three circles form a triangle and a loop, then the basic formation is complete."

Xiao Lin drew a new circle on the blackboard and then connected the three circles together with a straight line.

The scene on the blackboard now is that as long as the first circle keeps releasing soul skills, the three circles will keep releasing soul skills onto the other circle, thus forming a basic loop.

"However, as long as the soul power in the first circle doesn't stop, the soul skill in this loop will only get stronger and stronger, because originally it was one portion of soul power being passed around, but now it has increased to two, three, or countless portions."

"Congratulations, you have completed the most basic attack formation or defense formation."

"When the amount of basic soul power reaches the level of a ten-year soul ring, it will form the prototype of basic attack and defense formations."

"Anyone who comes into contact with the soul power connection formed by these three circles will be attacked by these attacking soul skills and injured."

After Xiao Lin finished speaking, he took a big gulp of water. Giving lectures is really tiring.

Upon hearing this, Tang San understood the formation and the circuit. If the basic attack and defense soul tools' soul skills were like this, he was now very clear about them.

"Brother Lin, how can we upgrade this ten-year-old attack soul tool's soul skill to the quality of a hundred-year-old soul skill?"

"Should we make one of the circles into the structure that amplifies the soul power effect?"

"For example, the second circle absorbs one unit of soul power, but can release two units of soul power?"

As Tang San spoke, he sensed something was wrong. How could soul power possibly increase out of thin air?

However, Xiao Lin's eyes widened, his face filled with joy.

"That's absolutely right, mistress, you're a genius!"

"While increasing soul power is not possible, acceleration is possible, thus achieving the effect of increasing soul power."

Xiao Lin erased the second circle and drew two smaller circles next to it. Then he drew the scene where the soul power constantly attacked each other inside the two small circles after it reached the position, and then reflected back.

In this way, the soul power that was originally in the second circle position was struck back and forth several times in the same amount of time, and bounced back several times.

Finally, the speed at which the attacking soul power was delivered was also much faster.

Isn't this just amplifying the effect of soul power output?

If we have a few more of these structures, wouldn't they just be the same attacking soul skills, but soul rings and soul skills of different qualities?

Of course, you can also add effects that allow you to input soul power and release attack soul power in the other circles.

At the same time, all three circles attack together, directly increasing efficiency threefold.

"Hehe, no way!"

Hearing Xiao Lin praise him like that, Tang San also felt that he was very smart, but his instinctive low-key behavior still made him humble.

"But Brother Lin, wouldn't that only create offensive and defensive soul skills?"

Xiao Wu raised her hand to ask a question. She looked at it for a long time before she understood a little bit, and then asked back out of curiosity.

"Yes, because I don't know the others either, and the book doesn't cover them either."

Xiao Lin simply shrugged and responded confidently.

If other soul skills had soul tools that were so easy to manufacture, the Douluo Continent wouldn't have been lost.

"But...but..."

Xiao Wu has something she's unsure whether to say: she thinks that if you want to create your own soul ring, you can just do it, right?

She had no idea that self-formed soul rings were so complicated.

But in the end, she couldn't come up with a clear explanation and could only sit down again, feeling dejected.

The center of the soul-guided array here is based on a modified version of Plants vs. Zombies, where a Timid-shroom can attack, and other plants can only receive attacks from the Timid-shroom in order to attack, gradually forming an invincible array to win the game. Familiar readers should know what I mean.
