Douluo Continent: I am a biologist, and I have awakened a weapon spirit?

Indeed, after Tang Hao took out the anvil, Tang San exclaimed in surprise:

"Deep-sea sunken silver!?"

"You know him?" Tang Hao asked, somewhat surprised.

"Uh...yes." Tang San nodded, unsure how to explain.

The knowledge of herbs has already been explained through dreams, so the knowledge of minerals can't be explained using the same reasoning, can it?

Fortunately, Tang Hao didn't ask any questions. He just gave his son a deep look and said:

"Using the deep-sea sunken silver anvil as a mat, and taking the spring water from this fiery spring to heat the ore, many metals can be forged."

He moved the anvil from the ground to the edge of the fire spring at the Yin-Yang Well and said to Tang San:

Give me what you want to forge.

Tang San quickly took out the experimental board made of Star Soul Mithril from the Jade Snow Ice, and also took out several forged iron ingots of various sizes.

Tang Hao glanced at the iron ingots and commented:

"The refining is quite good; it's already reached the level of iron concentrate."

He took the experimental board from Tang San and asked Chen Feng:

"Use this material to construct that kind of circuit, and then wrap it with iron filings, right?"

“Yes.” Chen Feng nodded. “It doesn’t need to be very big, about the size of a palm will do.”

"One hour," Tang Hao said succinctly.

"I'll help get the water from the fire spring," Chen Feng said, rolling up his sleeves.

But Tang Hao waved his hand, "No need for that trouble."

He reached out towards the fire spring beside him and gently guided it. A stream of fiery red water flew out from the Yin-Yang Well and poured onto a corner of the experimental board on the anvil.

In the blink of an eye, that corner began to melt.

Tang Hao took out a forging hammer and pressed it against the experimental board. He then took out a pair of pliers, clamped one corner of the experimental board, and gently twisted it off a very small piece of Star Soul Mithril.

"Take these with you," Tang Hao said, pointing to the experimental board.

Tang San followed instructions and retrieved the experimental board, while Tang Hao began his forging.

Under the constant irrigation of the fire spring water, the small piece of Star Soul Mithril was continuously melted and forged, first turning into a metal wire, and then being cast into a ring with its ends connected.

Finally, after being quenched by ice spring water, the mithril ring was completed.

After Tang San took it and bent it into a circuit shape, Tang Hao took out a spherical mold and put it inside.

He then melted the iron concentrate into molten iron and poured it into a spherical mold.

After cooling down, the Thunderstone metal model that Chen Feng wanted appeared.

Chen Feng took the metal ball out of the mold and asked Tang San:

"Can you tell if there's anything special about it? Like the texture or something."

Tang San shook his head. "I can't see anything."

Chen Feng pondered for a moment, then summoned his martial soul and released his third soul skill, Swift Thunder.

The moment his body was filled with electricity, he clearly felt that some of the electricity was absorbed by the metal ball in his hand.

As the lightning subsided, a look of joy appeared on Chen Feng's face.

Tang San said with some surprise:

"I can see the circuitry now."

"Really? It seems that because it stores lightning, this thing has properties similar to lightning elemental stones." Chen Feng weighed the metal ball in his hand.

"So, just because it has this circuit, it has the ability to absorb lightning?" Tang San asked in surprise.

"That's right, the key lies in this circuit, which gives this metal ball the property of absorbing lightning. From this phenomenon, we can reasonably deduce that if we obtain other different circuits, we can create items with different properties."

"For example, for attack, for defense, or for storage..."

As he was speaking, Chen Feng suddenly stopped, his gaze falling on the Blood Sky in his hand.

After a while, he slowly said:

"Xiao San, do you think it's possible that the soul tool originated from this?"

"It seems that this is indeed possible." After thinking for a while, Tang San agreed with Chen Feng's guess.

He had learned about soul tools before, and knew that they were devices that produced special effects by being driven by soul power.

If the circuit of the Thunderstone can give the metal sphere the ability to absorb lightning, then perhaps another circuit could give some materials the ability to store items.

"But I can't see the circuitry inside this ring, if it does." Tang San carefully examined his Jade Snow Ice with his Purple Demon Eye, but couldn't see anything.

Chen Feng thought for a moment and said:

"You were only able to see the circuit after the metal sphere stored lightning energy. Try activating the Jade Snow Ice and then look again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San's eyes widened, gleaming with golden-purple light, and he murmured:

"I saw it. When I was inputting soul power into it, I saw the circuit inside. It's different from the circuit inside the Thunder Essence Stone. The circuit inside this ring is circular."

"Ring-shaped? No wonder most of the storage soul tools I've seen are ring-shaped," Xiao Wu said in realization.

"So, my guess was probably right." Chen Feng smiled. "We've glimpsed the true nature of soul tools."

"Even so, we can only make soul tools," Xiao Wu said with some regret.

She and Tang San had previously heard Chen Feng mention that the wings Chen Feng grew back in the Star Dou Great Forest were very likely soul bones.

The reason Chen Feng wanted to explore the mysteries of the Thunder Essence Stone was to use it to study the mysteries of the Soul Bone.

But right now they only understand the essence of soul tools, and they don't know how far they are from soul bones. They don't even have a single soul bone in hand.

"If only we had a soul bone," Tang San couldn't help but sigh.

Tang Hao, who was not far away, raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.

Although he planned to give the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone to his son, it certainly wouldn't be now, because Tang San was too weak at the moment.

Tang Hao would only consider taking out the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone after his son's cultivation level had improved further and he was basically able to protect himself.

Dugu Bo walked over at this moment and said with a smile:

"Soul bones are not something that ordinary people can have. Even if someone gets one, they will absorb it very quickly. You probably have no hope of getting one for research."

"Senior, do you have a soul bone?" Chen Feng asked knowingly.

“Of course we have it.” Dugu Bo looked at Tang Hao. “Your Excellency Haotian must have it too, but what use is it? We can’t produce it.”

"Sigh." Xiao Wu sighed softly.

"Speaking of which, you've been discussing this for so long, but I still don't understand what you're trying to do," Dugu Bo said, looking at the three children with curiosity.

"Can any of you explain this to me?"

“We want to try making soul bones,” Chen Feng said.

Dugu Bo stood there stunned, and Tang Hao also looked astonished.

"Are you serious?" Dugu Bo asked.

"Of course." Chen Feng looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu and said:

"Actually, not having a soul bone may not be a problem. We can try to use logical analysis to think about the conditions for creating a soul bone."

Chapter 143 Pooling Wisdom and Effort

"Logical analysis?" Tang San pondered after hearing Chen Feng's words.

Chen Feng also began to recall the entire process of that night in the Star Dou Great Forest.

He quickly made his first deduction.

"The soul power of a soul beast is definitely indispensable."

"Yes, that's how it should be." Xiao Wu nodded.

"The power of life might also be one of the reasons," Tang San also suggested.

"In other words, the three conditions that are now certain are the circuit, the soul power of the soul beast, and the life force," Xiao Wu said, counting on her fingers.

“But this presents a problem: none of these three conditions are physical objects; they must be contained by matter to come together,” Chen Feng raised a question.

“Matter…” Xiao Wu scratched her head, somewhat confused.

She didn't remember any other substances being involved when Chen Feng absorbed the soul ring that night.

"Is it possible that it's a Thunder Essence Stone?" Tang San guessed.

“Perhaps, but there is actually another substance that you have overlooked,” Chen Feng said.

"What substance?" Xiao Wu asked.

Chen Feng hesitated for a moment before giving the answer he had in mind:

"The flesh and blood of a soul beast."

Xiao Wu's eyes widened, Tang San was stunned for a moment, and Tang Hao also glanced at Chen Feng with some surprise.

Dugu Bo didn't react in any particular way; he nodded and said:

"This guess makes a lot of sense. Soul bones are obtained from the bodies of soul beasts after they die, and the flesh and blood of soul beasts may also be one of the conditions for the formation of soul bones."

Although he thought the idea of ​​creating soul bones was a bit far-fetched, after listening to the children's discussion for a while, it seemed to make a lot of sense, so he became interested as well.

“But if we use the flesh and blood of soul beasts…” Xiao Wu didn’t know what to say.

The reason they wanted to create soul bones was precisely to prevent soul beasts from being slaughtered indiscriminately, wasn't it?

If the flesh and blood of soul beasts are now a necessary condition for the production of soul bones, then is it still necessary to continue this experiment of making soul bones?

"It's not necessarily as serious as you think," Chen Feng said at this moment. "The flesh and blood I'm talking about doesn't mean killing the soul beast and then taking out its flesh and blood to make soul bones. Rather, it means that the production of soul bones may require the participation of the soul beast's flesh and blood."

Tang San understood what he meant. "So, it means that we might only need to take a small piece of flesh from the soul beast, which wouldn't cause any damage to the soul beast, or even remove the flesh from the soul beast altogether, is that what you mean?"

“That’s right.” Chen Feng nodded. “I believe that the flesh and blood of soul beasts only play a promoting and catalytic role in the formation of soul bones, rather than participating in the process of forming soul bones themselves.”

He made this judgment because on the night he obtained his third spirit ring, the Flying Thunder Rat was not injured and did not show any abnormality.

If the Flying Thunder Rat suffers any physical loss during the process of Chen Feng obtaining the external soul bone, Vengeance's Wrath, it will most likely exhibit abnormal behavior.

For example, a groan or moan.

Of course, it's also possible that the Flying Rat has a high tolerance for pain and doesn't show any signs of internal injury.

This needs to be verified in the following experiments.

"Xiao Feng, how do you plan to design the experiment?" Tang San asked.

He could sense Xiao Wu's confusion and unease, so he wanted to confirm as soon as possible whether Chen Feng's judgment was correct.

Chen Feng thought for a moment, then held up one finger and said:

"First, we need a suitable soul beast as the test subject. The age of this soul beast should be as high as possible, because it is said that the older the soul beast, the more likely it is to produce a soul bone. This will make it easier to confirm whether our hypothesis is correct."

“That’s easy. There are plenty of soul beasts in Sunset Forest. I’ll bring one over later. A ten-thousand-year-old soul beast should be enough, right?” Dugu Bo asked.

"That should be enough. If it's not enough, we'll think of another way. But there's a second condition: we need to be able to communicate with this soul beast and get it to cooperate with our experiments."

“We need the help of the two seniors in this matter. Use your power to subdue the soul beast. So this soul beast can’t be too strong, otherwise it won’t submit so easily.” Chen Feng raised his second finger.

"It needs to be of high age, but not too strong... so how about a soul beast that's a little over ten thousand years old?" Dugu Bo asked.

"We can try it first." Chen Feng nodded, then held up his third finger and said:

"If possible, try to get the soul beasts to cooperate with us willingly."

Dugu Bo chuckled inexplicably, "Your request is just wishful thinking. The older the soul beast, the more hostile it is to humans. Where are you going to find a high-age soul beast that can cooperate with humans?"

"Not necessarily. Not all soul beasts are hostile to humans if humans don't actively hunt them," Xiao Wu muttered.

Dugu Bo paused for a moment, his gaze falling on the Blue Silver Emperor seedling not far away, and nodded, saying:

"What you said makes sense."

“The condition that Xiaofeng mentioned might not be impossible to achieve,” Tang Hao suddenly said.
