Chapter 11 Soul Tool, Big Sniper_2

At this moment, Tang San was even more convinced that he hadn't made any mistakes before.

However.

After hearing Tang San's words, Xiaowu's face showed an expression of surprise and uncertainty.

"Xiaowu, what's wrong?"

"Brother Three, my intuition tells me that things might not be as simple as they seem."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! This time it's definitely secure!"

...

Elsewhere.

Within the Temple of Life.

The Life God, clad in a green dress and exuding the breath of life, suddenly had a change of expression.

Because the Destruction God had arrived in the temple.

Unlike before, the Destruction God was now covered in blood, with a chaotic aura, and was obviously injured.

The first thing the Life God did was not to ask the Destruction God what had happened, but to heal his injuries.

A life-infused, emerald-green light flew from her palm and landed on the Destruction God's body.

The pale face of the Destruction God was regaining its color at an astonishing speed.

After a long time, the Life God coldly asked, "Little Purple, who injured you?"

The Destruction God replied coldly, "It was Tang San!"

"What?"

"If not him, who else do you think could have injured me?"

"But why, what was the reason?"

"The reason, haha, is laughable. I don't know why, but he just stormed into the Destruction God Temple and attacked me with the Sea God's Trident..."

The more the Destruction God spoke, the greater his anger grew, "Later, when he left, he told me that if I meddle with Soul Land again, which he controls, then we would have a complete falling out!"

"Is it because of Soul Land?"

The Life God was taken aback, "Little Purple, I know you and Tang San don't see eye to eye, but after all, he is now a Divine King..."

"Little Green, you don't believe me either?"

The Destruction God paused, then said with a bitter smile, "But I really haven't done anything to Soul Land..."

"Then Tang San is deliberately trying to slander me!"

Ah, this...

The Life God's eyes widened.

Knowing the Destruction God as she did, he would definitely not deceive her.

Which means...

"You're really innocent?"

"When one wants to condemn someone, any excuse will do... But since he's targeting me this way, I cannot swallow this humiliation no matter what. He previously wanted me to interfere with Soul Land, right? Fine, I'll grant his wish!"

The Destruction God was not one to be trifled with, obviously ready to retaliate severely.

...

A day in heaven, a year on earth.

Although less than a day had passed in the Divine Realm, a month had already gone by on Soul Land.

In this month, Qin Xiao spent most of his time in the laboratory, seldom going out.

Nevertheless, his progression was quite remarkable.

First was his cultivation level...

After using all the medicinal pills given by Jing Hongchen, he had now reached the level of a twenty-grade Soul Master.

That is to say, he was now qualified to go to the far northern lands to hunt for Soul Rings.

Secondly was his study as a Soul Master.

In this month, he read a vast amount of books and notes, and had memorized all the knowledge of Soul Masters up to level 5 and below.

He had mastered all Level Two Magical Arrays and could now craft a complete Level Two Soul Guide Device.

At this point, Qin Xiao was certainly a qualified Second-level Soul Engineer.

Level Three Magical Array is in the process of being carved...

Hand raised, Carving Knife falls, the Array is complete.

Before Qin Xiao could say anything, Xuan Ziwen exclaimed in astonishment.

"Success!"

"To finish the carving of a Level Three Magical Array in one go without any hesitation... this is simply inhuman."

Xuan Ziwen couldn't help but praise.

He had seen many geniuses, and even considered himself part of the army of geniuses.

But none were as monstrous as Qin Xiao!

In a month's time, a newbie who could only 'talk theories on paper' directly became a Second-level Soul Engineer.

No.

It can't be considered second-level.

Because even a fifth-grade Soul Master doesn't inscribe Level Three Magical Arrays as proficiently as Qin Xiao does.

Xuan Ziwen believed that Qin Xiao absolutely had the strength to become a third-level Soul Engineer.

"Old bro, I'll just take it as a compliment, haha."

Qin Xiao gave Xuan Ziwen a displeased glance.

However, upon reflection, his growth to this point today owes much to the support of Xuan Ziwen and Jing Hongchen.

After all, he hadn't spent a single golden soul coin on materials for inscribing all sorts of arrays.

"Of course, I'm complimenting you!"

Xuan Ziwen patted Qin Xiao's shoulder solidly, "I once thought I was quite exceptional, but compared with you, I feel that my talent is hardly worth mentioning."

He remembered when he first became a First-Level Soul Engineer in one month, then a Second-Level Soul Engineer in three months, and it took him a whole year to become a Third-Level Soul Engineer...

And even that was considered remarkably fast.

"It's all thanks to your good teaching, old bro."

Qin Xiao grinned.

Xuan Ziwen shook his head, "I haven't really taught you anything, your current achievements are all due to your talent and hard work."

He was not one to take undue credit.

Qin Xiao smiled noncommittally and didn't say much more. He then went to the study area nearby and took out a thick notebook from underneath the desk and handed it to Xuan Ziwen.

You should know, in the past month, aside from practicing and learning, Qin Xiao had also been up to something else.

That was to design a soul tool.

A soul tool that could unleash tremendous combat power even for him as a level 20 Soul Master.

He named it... the Sniper.

As a man, how many are there without a passion for firearms?

Knowledge of various firearms and related mechanical knowledge accompanied Qin Xiao through his youth.

After learning about Soul Engineers' knowledge, he integrated it into actual combat, creating these blueprints.

It must be said that Soul Power is indeed a universal energy source, capable of completely replacing gunpowder as kinetic energy.

"What's this?"

Xuan Ziwen asked, puzzled.

"Just have a look and you'll understand."

Qin Xiao watched Xuan Ziwen with a chuckle.

After opening the notebook Qin Xiao handed over, Xuan Ziwen frowned, "Isn't this a soul laser gun? What's so special about it?"

He was familiar with it.

Even to say, the soul laser gun, a simple soul tool, was very common throughout Soul Land.

It could amplify the released Soul Power of a Soul Engineer by several times...

"Old bro, don't jump to conclusions so quickly."

Qin Xiao smiled slightly, "Keep reading."

Looking somewhat doubtful, Xuan Ziwen continued to read on.

Of course, that was Qin Xiao; had it been anyone else, Xuan Ziwen would have slammed the notebook in their face long ago.

"Flip flip."

He flipped through two more pages, and upon seeing the required arrays for inscription indicated in the design, he was stunned.

"This isn't a soul laser gun, but a Fixed-mount Soul Guidance Device?"

"And the core of this Fixed-mount Soul Guidance Device is an Energy Storage Array, meaning that as long as there is enough Soul Power in the Array, even ordinary people could use this soul tool?"

Xuan Ziwen was astonished, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

"Moreover, the core of this soul tool is simple, without any profound arrays, just a combination of Energy Storage and Speed Arrays."

Qin Xiao said lightly, "If you want the power of this soul tool to increase further, you could also work on the bullets that are used as projectiles. For example, inscribing Speed Arrays on the bullet heads, it's just that the bullets are too small, beyond the capability of an ordinary Soul Engineer to inscribe..."

"No need, this is already enough!"

Xuan Ziwen said, "In fact, there's no need to create such a complicated soul tool."

"I see you have designed the Sniper with more than a dozen acceleration arrays; ordinary Soul Engineers cannot manufacture such intricate array cores. But what if you simplify it to three or two? Although the power would decrease sharply, the efficiency of production would jump up, and the cost for ordinary people to wield formidable combat power would also decrease."

Qin Xiao listened to Xuan Ziwen's words and nodded slightly.

Thinking to himself that befitting an Eighth-level Soul Master, with just one glance at the design, he could infer so much more.

"Come, let's test the power of this soul tool."

Xuan Ziwen couldn't wait to start crafting.

The Carving Knife danced non-stop in Xuan Ziwen's hands, quickly drawing out trails of afterimages.

The core magic array of the Sniper was simple.

Besides the Energy Storage Array, it was mostly the stacking of numerous Speed Arrays.

Soon, a beautiful, precisely carved, hollow metal sphere appeared in Xuan Ziwen's hands.
