Martial Soul Fusion Skill

Chapter 15 Martial Soul Fusion Skill - Soul Tool Version

After a long while, Xuan Ziwen realized his lapse in composure, awkwardly released Lin Dong, and chuckled dryly:

"I'm sorry, Lin Dong, I got too excited and made a fool of myself in front of you."

Lin Dong could tell that the teacher in front of him seemed to have an extreme passion for Soul Masters, so he shook his head and said softly:

"It's alright, teacher. If you hadn't explained those basic principles to me and I had to read the book myself, I don't know how long it would have taken me to understand them."

Xuan Ziwen was stunned after hearing this. This little guy, does he really hate reading that much?

How can you blame Lin Dong? He's inherited knowledge his whole life, either through hands-on instruction or by having it directly crammed into his brain. How could he possibly concentrate on reading?

Xuan Ziwen, recovering from his embarrassment, looked at Lin Dong and solemnly said:

"Lin Dong, could you please explain the function of your soul tool and the mysteries of this core formation? I'd love to know too, but that's your prerogative."

Whether you tell me or not is up to you. If you're willing to tell me, I can share my research findings with you.

Seeing his sincere gaze, Lin Dong didn't rush to answer. Instead, he softly asked Xuan Ziwen:

"Teacher Xuan Ziwen, what attribute is your martial soul?"

Xuan Ziwen was a little confused by his irrelevant answer, but still answered seriously:

"My martial soul is a wind-attribute soul beast, the Azure Hurricane Eagle. What's wrong?"

Lin Dong gently placed his hand on the white metal plate, looked at Xuan Ziwen, and said softly:

"Teacher, please place your hand here and activate your soul power."

Although Xuan Ziwen was completely confused, seeing Lin Dong's calm face, he obediently did as he was told, and a faint blue soul power emanated from his fingertips.

Lin Dong closed his eyes slightly, and a faint gray light emanated from his fingertips. A moment later, to Xuan Ziwen's astonishment,

The two different colored soul energies began to slowly merge, and finally a beam of bluish-gray light shot out from the hole behind the white metal disc.

Xuan Ziwen was still reeling from what had just happened, and murmured incessantly:

"No way, this is... an artificial martial soul fusion skill?!"

Then, with slightly trembling fingers, he took the white metal plate from Lin Dong's hand, gently placed it on the table, placed both hands on Lin Dong's shoulders, and tentatively asked:

"This soul tool you developed can fuse two different types of soul power?"

Lin Dong nodded slightly after hearing this, and explained softly under his burning gaze:

"However, the current formation is still relatively crude. It can only combine the advantages of the two types of soul power, but it cannot amplify their power. If it could be improved further, it should have a better effect."

Xuan Ziwen was so shocked upon hearing this that he could hardly express it, and exclaimed in excitement:

"That's enough! Lin Dong, did you come up with this formation yourself?"

After hearing this, Lin Dong hesitated for a moment, silently saying to himself that he had offended a senior, and then nodded at Xuan Ziwen:

"Yes, it's my own idea. However, if the two properties clash, the material of this metal disc might not be able to withstand the pressure and it might explode."

Xuan Ziwen smiled broadly upon hearing this, and couldn't help but laugh and scold:

"You brat, you've done so well and you're still not satisfied! Let alone two opposing attributes, being able to fuse two identical attributes is already astonishing."

Lin Dong smiled after hearing this: "Teacher, you flatter me. I just took a serious look."

He genuinely felt it was no big deal; he had simply modified the array within the King Extinction Heavenly Disc, which could fuse the power of four ancestral symbols, and inscribed it onto the metal disc with his own soul power.

Although he was used to hand-to-hand combat and was not used to this kind of delicate work, he still managed to successfully inscribe the core formation with the help of mental detection.

"Hey! What do you mean by flattery? You deserve it! I'll immediately apply to Dean Hongchen to have you promoted directly to Level Two Soul Master."

Seeing Xuan Ziwen's excited, slightly flushed face, Lin Dong nodded and smiled:

"Thank you very much, teacher."

Looking at his smiling face, Xuan Ziwen tentatively asked:

"Then... Lin Dong, what do you think of the suggestion I just made?"

Lin Dongting looked troubled for a moment, then gave a meaningful smile and said:

"Teacher, I'd love to explain this formation to you, but, as you said, it has to demonstrate sufficient value, doesn't it?"

Seeing Lin Dong immediately putting his newfound knowledge to use, Xuan Ziwen was first taken aback, then shook his head with a wry smile:

"Hehe, you little rascal, you're really interesting. How about this, you come with me, and I promise to pass on all my knowledge to you, and it will all be taught by word of mouth and by example, so you won't need to read books to learn."

Lin Dong revealed a sly smile after hearing this:

"Teacher, are you taking advantage of my young age and ignorance? This is something you promised me, what does it have to do with my core formation?"

Xuan Ziwen seemed surprised by Lin Dong's shrewdness, and pointed at Lin Dong with a helpless smile:

"You clever little devil! How about this, I'll trade you one of my research findings, how about that?"

Lin Dong seemed somewhat tempted after hearing this, but still shook his head with a smile.

Seeing this, Xuan Ziwen sighed anxiously:

"Sigh, with Dean Hongchen protecting you, there's nothing I can do about it. Just tell me what you want."

Lin Dong then slowly spoke: "I need you to vouch for me to Dean Hongchen so that I can enter the laboratory and conduct research on soul tools with you."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Note that I'm referring to the labs you regularly enter, those that can significantly enhance combat effectiveness, and whose access level can't be too low.

For Lin Dong, what he lacks most right now is understanding of soul tools; core formations are not a problem for him.

To improve his abilities as quickly as possible, he needed to research more advanced soul tools, and Xuan Ziwen was clearly his only connection to the laboratory at the moment.

After listening, Xuan Ziwen hesitated for a moment before looking at Lin Dong with a conflicted expression and saying:

"I need to think about it. Not to mention the freshmen who have just enrolled, even Dean Hongchen's beloved grandson and granddaughter probably don't have permission to enter the laboratory with me, as it involves the Empire's military secrets."

That's way too much to ask. Besides, with your current soul power level, even if you could understand it, you wouldn't be able to create a high-level soul tool.

Hearing Xuan Ziwen's explanation, Lin Dong realized the problem; perhaps he had been too hasty.

She then put away the white metal plate, revealing an innocent smile:

"Then let me reach level 20 first, teacher."

Xuan Ziwen glanced at the white metal disc with considerable reluctance, then smiled at Lin Dong and said:

"Then you still haven't told me the secret of this core formation."

"That will definitely have to wait until the teacher meets my conditions."

Seeing the cunning smile on Lin Dong's face, Xuan Ziwen was stunned. After a long while, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and say:

"You're ruthless, kid! Fine, I promise I'll take you to talk to Dean Hongchen, but I don't think there's much hope, so don't get your hopes up too high."

Then, as if realizing something, he looked at Lin Dong and smiled:

"By the way, your soul tool doesn't even have a name, does it?"
