The next moment, Xuan Ziwen took a deep breath and released the hand of Qian Yu that he had been holding tightly...
He was completely unable to sense how strong Qian Yu's soul power fluctuations were, considering his soul power rank was that of a Title Douluo...
And the fact that Qian Yu could contend with him indicated that his strength was likely also at the level of a Title Douluo, or even one or two levels higher than himself...
His face then showed admiration as he said, "Not bad, worthy of being an exchange student sent by Shrek Academy. Your talent in that aspect is much stronger than that of the students from the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy."
Qian Yu glanced at him and said coldly, "Xuan Ziwen, you flatter me!"
Xuan Ziwen's face darkened upon hearing Qian Yu address him by name...
So he really treated him as an equal!
He then unobtrusively pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Please, have a seat."
Qian Yu slowly took a seat, his icy gaze fixed on Xuan Ziwen...
Xuan Ziwen quickly took out a carving knife and a block of metal, placing them in front of Qian Yu's table...
He then smiled and said, "So, in order to understand the level you have reached, let's start with the carving of a Level Eight Core Magic Array."
First, he needed to ascertain Qian Yu's true level, and then see what he himself could teach him...
An experienced eighth-level soul master and a soul master who had only made a Level Eight Core Magic Array were vastly different!
Qian Yu calmly picked up the carving knife and the block of metal, "Alright!"
Immediately, he began to carve with intense concentration...
But as Qian Yu had not carved for long, Xuan Ziwen started to frown...
He had asked him to carve a Level Eight Array, but this was clearly a First-Level Core Magic Array!
How could someone capable of carving the kind of premium Level Eight Core Magic Array that Juzi had the day before only know how to carve a First-Level Core Magic Array?
He couldn't help but whisper, "Qian Yu, you don't need to hold back with me, don't be afraid of being monitored by the academy, just bring out your true skills."
"If you can satisfy me, I will spare no effort to teach you!"
Qian Yu's sharp gaze locked onto Xuan Ziwen's eyes; he saw no hostility towards himself from the latter!
He tossed the block of metal in his hand to the side...
And said coldly, "Give me a new block of metal."
Xuan Ziwen nodded, understanding that Qian Yu was probably ready to demonstrate his real abilities...
He then handed a new block of metal to Qian Yu...
The latter looked at the metal block in his hand and pursed his lips tightly...
His true skill in soul guidance device carving was supposed to be a Fourth Level Magic Array, and even that was highly likely to contain errors!
So, after carving out a third-grade array, and then enhancing it, perhaps...
With this thought in mind, Qian Yu immediately began the act of carving...
The whole carving process on the metal block seemed somewhat stiff, completely lacking the ease shown previously when carving a First-Level Soul Guidance Device...
Qian Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and tried to focus as much as he could...
But even so, there were still some minor errors,
This sight made Xuan Ziwen's face look even more unsightly as he thought to himself, "Could it be that a Third-grade Soul Guidance Device is his limit?"
Or could it be that even now, Qian Yu was still concealing his true strength, afraid of exposing himself to him?
Hoping in his heart that Qian Yu had some other skills, otherwise, with just this kind of talent, Xuan Ziwen had no intention of teaching him at all...
As drops of cold sweat from Qian Yu's forehead fell onto the table, the Third Level Magic Array in his hand was finally completed!
Feeling it up close, it could only be considered ordinary in both quality and grade...
The next moment, golden Divine Power began to emanate from all five of Qian Yu's fingers...
Xuan Ziwen's gaze was fixed on the golden power, and he drew a sharp breath, "This power, so... so intense! It far surpasses the quality of Soul Power!!"
Now it finally made sense! Why Qian Yu had no Soul Power!
It turned out he possessed an even more terrifying power within his body! That's why the physical testing soul tool couldn't detect it!
Qian Yu slowly injected the five clusters of golden energy on his fingertip into the Third-grade Soul Guidance Device Core Array...
The next moment, the entire Level Three Core Array flashed with a blinding golden light...
Terrible destructive fluctuations continuously surged out from this core array...
Xuan Ziwen swallowed hard, his eyes fiery as he stared at the finished product, shocked, "Is this... is this a Grade Nine Core Circuit???"
Qian Yu said indifferently, "No, to be precise, it should be considered a standard-quality Grade Ten Core Circuit!"
Xuan Ziwen exclaimed again, "What, Grade Ten??"
The first thought in his mind was that it was simply impossible!
A tenth-grade Spirit Guidance Master was just like a Hundredth Level powerhouse, an existence that had disappeared from the world, so how could Qian Yu possibly create a Grade Ten Core Circuit!!
If it were true, then Qian Yu could easily bring a great disaster to an entire nation!
Even the whole Sun-Moon Empire would not compare to him alone!
Qian Yu looked at him coldly, whether Xuan Ziwen believed it or not, he had no interest...
However, he was quite interested in testing out this newly created Grade Ten Core Circuit...
Thinking this, Qian Yu directly ignored Xuan Ziwen and started picking up the premade hull next to him, beginning the assembly...
But due to his unfamiliarity, it took two to three hours to complete the assembly...
Qian Yu looked at the soul tool in his hand, light as a card...
The corners of his mouth slowly curled up, "Success, a Grade Ten Fixed Installation Defense-Type Soul Guidance Device!"
Xuan Ziwen, in his daze, heard Qian Yu's voice and felt the infinite might of the soul tool in Qian Yu's hand...
In his heart, he already had a judgment, that perhaps, it really was a tenth-grade Spirit Guidance Device!
He bit his lip and thickened his skin to speak to Qian Yu, "May I try it out?"
Qian Yu just stared at him without speaking...
After a long while, he finally said, "Fine!"
Xuan Ziwen was a Title Douluo and a ninth-rank soul-guidance master, using him to test the power of his own soul tool was indeed quite good!
...
The two reached the testing area, Qian Yu and Xuan Ziwen stood at opposite ends...
Xuan Ziwen took out a Grade Seven Offensive-Type Soul Guidance Device he had made himself, which was shaped like a gun with a curved barrel, equipped with a scope and a convenient charging port at the bottom. The only difference was that it needed to be charged up...
Aiming the scope at Qian Yu, he said gravely, "I will start bombarding you with a Grade Seven soul tool!"
Qian Yu nodded and pressed the soul tool, card-like, against his wrist. The next moment, it began to automatically recognize and morph into a bracelet that hung on his wrist...
Xuan Ziwen began to channel Soul Power into the soul tool in his hand...
It started to accumulate a crystalline deep blue light, accompanied by a buzzing sound, as the barrel began to gather a spherical light mass...
"Crack"
Xuan Ziwen pulled the trigger, and the light mass inside the barrel shot out in an instant, forming a cylinder-shaped light beam about two meters wide that crashed toward Qian Yu...
Qian Yu watched the thick light beam coming at him and calmly tapped the white halo on his wrist...
The moment he pressed it, ripples of crack-like white light surged out within dozens of meters around him, and soon fused together to form a mottled white, solid protective barrier!
The oncoming deep blue light beam fiercely bombarded this white barrier and, within just a few seconds, was completely absorbed by it...
