Mirror of the Mortal World: Do you think I still have a chance?

Chapter 17 Mirror of the Mortal World: Do you think I still have a chance?

Xuan Ziwen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the white metal plate that Lin Dong had taken out.

In any case, with this, even if the dean disagrees, he probably won't blame the two of them.

The mockery in Lin Jiayi's eyes deepened. What was this kid doing with a metal plate? But when his gaze fell on the array on the plate, he was instantly startled and muttered to himself:

No way, this kid... how did he develop a soul tool so quickly?

Jing Hongchen's reaction was similar to Lin Jiayi's, but she still pretended to be calm and said:

"What does this have to do with what you just mentioned?"

Lin Dong and Xuan Ziwen exchanged a glance, and the latter immediately understood and repeated the operation in front of Jing Hongchen and the other person.

After a long while, the air was deathly silent. The mockery in Lin Jiayi's eyes had long since turned into deep horror.

At this moment, Jing Hongchen suddenly stood up, the coldness in her eyes completely disappearing, and said excitedly to Lin Dong:

"Lin Dong, although I have some suspicions, this matter is of great importance, so I still need to confirm: can the thing you developed fuse two kinds of soul power?"

Seeing Lin Dong's calm smile, Jing Hongchen was so excited that she slumped back in her chair and murmured:

"If the fusion of these two powers could be applied to the field of soul tools, I simply cannot imagine how powerful our Sun Moon Sect would become."

Then, looking at Lin Dong, he forced a smile and said, "Hehe, I was a bit harsh just now. Don't mind me, Lin Dong. Could you give us a detailed introduction to your amazing soul tool?"

Lin Dong nodded and calmly explained:

"Currently, as long as the two attributes are not mutually exclusive, people can fuse soul power, but they cannot amplify the power of soul power; they can only combine the characteristics of the two soul powers."

"For example, fusing fire-attribute soul power with lightning-attribute soul power can simultaneously possess the power of burning and paralysis. Incidentally, it seems that spirit-attribute soul power can enhance other attributes of soul power..."

After hearing his introduction, Jing Hongchen was so excited that she couldn't speak. She pressed her trembling hands and tentatively asked:

"Doesn't this mean that as long as the two people's attributes don't clash, they can use this thing to unleash an effect similar to a Martial Soul Fusion Technique?"

"Yes, theoretically yes, but it probably won't achieve the same effect as a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, where one plus one is greater than two."

After hearing this, Jing Hongchen finally suppressed his excitement and patted his chest:

"Thank goodness. If this thing succeeds, then the era of Soul Masters will be completely over."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Dong spoke again:

"However, this formation can still be improved. If my level were higher, I wonder what kind of effect it would produce."

Hearing his tantalizing words, the three people present, except for Xuan Ziwen, were stunned. After a long while, Jing Hongchen looked at Lin Dong and laughed and scolded:

"You brat, can't you just reveal all your surprises at once? All this sudden shocks are making me quite anxious."

Lin Dong smiled helplessly and explained again:

"Isn't it because I'm afraid I won't give you enough of a shock? Could you perhaps consider my request?"

At this moment, Xuan Ziwen seemed to have made up his mind, and stepped forward to look at Jing Hongchen, saying in a deep voice:

"Dean, I feel that Lin Dong's words just now did not fully reveal the true terrifying nature of his soul tool."

Jing Hongchen was in a great mood and looked at Xuan Ziwen with great interest, saying:

"Oh? Ziwen, then tell me about your research on soul tools. It's really impressive. Let me hear your analysis."

"There is something I need to make clear to you first. Lin Dong only learned the basic principles of soul tools from me a few hours ago."

Xuan Ziwen's words left Jing Hongchen, who had just shown some expression, frozen in place again. After a moment, she looked at Lin Dong with a complex expression and said:

"Is what Ziwen said true, Lin Dong?"

Lin Dong chuckled lightly, waved his hand dismissively, and said:

"Ugh, it's not an important matter, what's there to talk about?"

Lin Jiayi's round face twitched, and he couldn't help but interject:

"What do you mean by 'not important'! You created a level-two soul tool from scratch in just a few hours. Do you know what that means, Lin Dong? Not to mention, your soul tool has such a miraculous function."

Jing Hongchen glared at Lin Jiayi, seemingly blaming him for interrupting her, but Lin Jiayi couldn't be blamed for that.

Having studied soul tools for so long, he had never heard of such a rare thing in the secular world. The immense shock in his heart made him blurt out.

Jing Hongchen seemed to have thought of something at this moment, and looked at Lin Dong with a smile:

"Then...does this mean that the core array of that soul tool was also created independently by you?"

Lin Dong nodded, and seeing the astonished look in his eyes, could only manage a genuine smile:

"To be honest with the three teachers, I seem to have had a special inspiration for formations since I was a child, but I have never actually come into contact with soul tools."

The three exchanged glances upon hearing this, each with only one thought in their mind:

A genius of formations! A born genius of formations! Only this explanation makes sense.

After the shock of the lab experience, Xuan Ziwen was the first to recover and continued the previous topic:

"The truly terrifying thing about this thing is that we may have forgotten that Lin Dong has never touched a soul tool before and can only use soul power to conduct experiments."

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

Jing Hongchen reacted instantly, exclaiming in realization, "You mean...?"

"Yes, it's a soul tool! We haven't tested combining the powers of two soul tools yet."

Lin Dong then realized that if the Heavenly Disruption Disk could fuse with the power of the four Ancestral Symbols, wouldn't it be able to fuse with these low-level energies with ease?

However, he did understand soul tools, so he hadn't thought about that. He was only focused on emphasizing that his formation could be upgraded. So that's why Xuan Ziwen was so excited.

Jing Hongchen was awakened by Xuan Ziwen's words and looked at Lin Jiayi excitedly, saying:

"What are you all standing there for! Hurry up and find two level-one soul tool rays!"

Lin Jiayi nodded hurriedly and ran towards the door with eager steps. He was about to witness the history of the revolution of soul tools!

After a long while, Lin Jiayi rushed in, holding two black laser pointer-like objects in his hands.

Jing Hongchen frowned and asked, "Why did it take so long?"

A bitter smile appeared on Lin Jiayi's round face:

"Dean, I searched the entire Mingde Hall and only managed to find two level-one soul tools in the scrap bins of two interns!"

Jing Hongchen then realized that they were in the Mingde Hall, the most advanced soul tool research institute on the entire continent. Where would they get a level one soul tool?

Jing Hongchen didn't care about anything else and hurriedly stretched out her hand to him: "Give it to me now! Stop dawdling."

Lin Jiayi responded and handed over the two black ones with her slightly trembling hand.

Amidst the expectant, reddened eyes of Jing Hongchen and the other two, the tiny lasers emitted from the two soul-guided devices, after passing through the array of the fusion disc, shot out a beam of laser as thick as a thumb from the hole…
