Chapter 20 Ripples
"Um, Sister Tao, if you don't have anything else, I'll be going now?" Ye Nanxiao turned his head and asked.
Ma Xiaotao's clothes were now just strips of cloth, barely enough to cover her, and the large expanse of white made Ye Nanxiao unsure where to look, so he simply turned away.
Ma Xiaotao's face flushed red as she said shyly, "You...you turn around, I need to change my clothes, don't peek!"
Hearing the noise behind him, Ye Nanxiao desperately resisted the urge to look back. "Turning around would be the end of it. Stay calm."
However, the honest Ye Nanxiao still got a beating in the end.
"If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred to take a closer look," Ye Nanxiao muttered under his breath, rubbing his head.
Ma Xiaotao, who was leading the way, turned around instantly and stared at Ye Nanxiao with an unfriendly gaze. The flames in her beautiful eyes seemed to solidify into a tangible form.
Startled by Ma Xiaotao, Ye Nanxiao quickly changed the subject, "Haha, how much longer do we have to walk?"
"It'll be over soon. You know the consequences if you dare to tell anyone what happened today," Ma Xiaotao threatened.
"Could you tell me what the consequences will be? I'd like to know the extent of the consequences before revealing them." Ye Nanxiao gave a big smile, trying to win his favor.
Ma Xiaotao turned around gracefully, leaning forward slightly until her face was almost touching Ye Nanxiao's. With a bright smile, she said, "Then I'll have to compete with Jiang Nannan for him."
"I was wrong, please continue." Ye Nanxiao bowed deeply, gesturing with his hands in front of him.
What a joke! If Ma Xiaotao sets her sights on you, you'll be hacked to pieces by that rabbit at home.
After Ma Xiaotao led Ye Nanxiao out of her cultivation room, she flew away without looking back. Ye Nanxiao, not knowing how to find his way back, looked left and saw no one. On his right, wow, a chicken leg bone!
Elder Xuan's chicken leg bone struck Ye Nanxiao's head accurately once again, and he asked, "Nanxiao, did you bully Xiaotao?"
Ye Nanxiao silently covered his head, blinked, tried to squeeze out a tear, and said in a wronged tone, "Can I say I was bullied?"
Elder Xuan glanced at Ye Nanxiao and gestured for Ye Nanxiao to follow.
Following Elder Xuan, they strolled to the Soul Guidance Department next to the Martial Soul Department. Looking at the technologically advanced Soul Guidance Department, Ye Nanxiao asked in confusion, "Elder Xuan, why did you bring me here?"
"Although you are a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department, you cannot fall behind in your knowledge of Soul Tools. Moreover, the Soul Tool Department has a plan that you are quite suitable for." Elder Xuan tilted his head back and took a sip of wine.
Ye Nanxiao looked puzzled upon hearing this and was about to ask when Elder Xuan stopped.
Not far away, a tall, middle-aged man walked up and respectfully bowed to Elder Xuan. Elder Xuan waved his hand and pointed at the middle-aged man, indicating that Ye Nanxiao should follow him.
The middle-aged man was about 1.8 meters tall with broad shoulders. He wore a simple vest, and his thick, muscular arms were exposed, revealing muscles like granite. His face had distinct features, and his gaze was deep and heavy. Just standing there, he gave people a sense of standing tall like a mountain.
"My name is Fan Yu. Today, I'll show you how to use a soul tool." Fan Yu spoke concisely.
Ye Nanxiao looked around and didn't see any other core disciples of the Martial Soul System, but he didn't ask any further questions.
Fan Yu led Ye Nanxiao to Gate 12 of the experimental area, took out a hexagonal key and stuck it to the wall. As soon as the door opened, a…
A strong tremor, mixed with air currents, rushed towards him, making his school uniform flutter loudly.
The scene inside the door was like two different worlds from the one outside, with explosions, bright lights, and high-tech weapons everywhere.
"Explosions are indeed art," Ye Nanxiao commented on the scene inside the laboratory.
Upon hearing Ye Nanxiao's assessment, Fan Yu revealed an interesting smile.
Inside the laboratory, thick metal plates divide the space into different areas, making it look like a series of large metal boxes.
Led by Fan Yu, the two quickly arrived at the largest area. It was an open space, about two thousand square meters in size and more than ten meters high. At the edge of the space, some people were fiddling with something strange.
"Ye Nanxiao, have you ever been in contact with soul tools before?" Fan Yu asked as they walked.
"no."
"Although you are a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department, it doesn't prevent you from studying in the Soul Guidance Department." Fan Yu turned to look at Ye Nanxiao and said in a serious tone, "Ye Nanxiao, the academy has a project that is taking shape called Extreme Individual Soldier."
"I haven't learned anything yet and you're already throwing this huge plan at me?" Ye Nanxiao was stunned.
"Caitou, come here." Fan Yu waved to the group of people not far away, and immediately, one of the boys ran over quickly.
Upon seeing the boy, Ye Nanxiao took a closer look. Judging from his appearance, he should be about the same age as Bei Bei, but he was extremely tall, over two meters tall, with shoulders broader than Fan Yu's. He was shirtless, revealing dark muscles, and had a smooth, shiny head. It was clear at a glance that he was a diligent student who often used his brain.
"Teacher." The boy bowed respectfully to Fan Yu.
Fan Yu pointed at Ye Nanxiao and said, "You test-fire a fixed-mount soul-guided cannon, the kind we just tested this morning, so this newcomer can see what a soul-guided device is like."
"Young man, come with me, my name is..." He Caitou was about to introduce himself when Ye Nanxiao interrupted him, "Let's launch quickly, Brother Caitou, let me witness some art."
Looking at Ye Nanxiao's excited face, He Caitou scratched his head in surprise, wondering if he was really that famous.
The two arrived at the edge of the experimental site. He Caitou patted his dark belt at his waist, and with a flash of light, something appeared in his hand.
It was a black metal tube about 1.5 meters long, with a cross-sectional diameter of about 15 centimeters, and the end was thicker. It was engraved with many strange patterns.
He Caitou skillfully held it in his hand, pressed the back of the metal tube twice with his right hand, and a cap popped out, revealing a notch about 20 centimeters long and 10 centimeters wide.
He quickly patted his waist with his left hand, and a spindle-shaped piece of metal appeared in his hand. He carefully placed the spindle-shaped metal into the notch exposed by the open cap of the metal tube, and then closed the cap. With a lift of his right hand, the metal tube was on his broad shoulder.
He Caitou, who previously gave off a very honest and simple vibe, suddenly changed his demeanor the moment he hoisted the metal pipe onto his shoulder.
At this moment, He Caitou gave Ye Nanxiao the feeling of a tough soldier.
A target shot out rapidly in the distance, and at that moment, a strong surge of soul power erupted from He Caitou.
Two yellow spirit rings flashed simultaneously, and the metal tube on his shoulder seemed to tremble slightly. A layer of intense black light flowed across the surface of the metal tube, and He Caitou's body moved gently. The target that the metal tube was pointing at was the high-speed flying disc.
"Boom!!" A violent roar rang out, and a dazzling black light burst out from inside the metal tube, instantly turning the high-speed flying target into ashes.
Ye Nanxiao suddenly felt that the soul-guided devices here were no different from the rocket launchers in his previous life.
As a knowledgeable human from Earth, he should be able to get full marks on the theory of soul tools, right? As for making soul tools, it mainly depends on whether Ye Nanxiao is interested in learning.
"You humans are undeniably blessed by nature," the Snow Empress said somewhat coldly.
"What's wrong, Xue'er?" Ye Nanxiao asked, puzzled. There weren't many things that could cause Xue Di's emotions to fluctuate.
After that, Xue Di fell silent. Ye Nanxiao guessed that the soul tool had appeared in the far north, since most soul masters nowadays carry soul tools with them.
"How about it? The soul tool is amazing, isn't it?" Fan Yu said as he approached Ye Nanxiao.
"Shall I give it a try?" Ye Nanxiao asked, somewhat eager, secretly thinking, "I wonder what kind of collision will occur between my military knowledge from my previous life and a soul tool."
Fan Yu said seriously, "There is no shortcut to learning how to inscribe core arrays. First, you must memorize the arrays left behind by your predecessors with painstaking efforts. Then, you must keep trying with ordinary metals to make progress. Once you have learned the principles of various core arrays, you can create your own works and then you can graduate."
"Our research as Soul Masters is mainly focused on the core magic array. Once you have the core magic array, it becomes much easier to match it with the corresponding inner and outer shells. Cai Tou has a great talent in this area. Don't let his honest appearance fool you; he has a quality that most people his age don't have: focus. This is absolutely essential for inscribing a fine core magic array."
"The core magic array is not without error, but the smaller the error, the more durable the core magic array is."
After Fan Yu finished speaking, he casually took out a book from his storage soul tool and handed it to Ye Nanxiao, instructing him, "Take a look first."
Ye Nanxiao took the book, found a seat and started reading, while He Caitou took a stool and sat next to Ye Nanxiao to answer the questions in the book.
Not long after, Fan Yu saw Ye Nanxiao put down his book with a look of sudden realization, pick up the metal block and carving knife on the table, and begin to carve.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao holding a piece of metal carving, Fan Yu did not stop him, but she was also surprised that Ye Nanxiao started carving the core magic array as soon as he started.
"Let him try it. It'll be easier to make a decision once he knows how difficult it is," Fan Yu thought to herself.
Ye Nanxiao quickly stopped, his face expressionless. Fan Yu thought Ye Nanxiao had failed, but then He Caitou said, "It's...it's a success, teacher!"
Fan Yu had already prepared to comfort Ye Nanxiao, but Ye Nanxiao actually succeeded?
In an instant, Fan Yu snatched the metal from Ye Nanxiao's hand, infusing it with his soul power. The core array absorbed Fan Yu's soul power, and the metal block emitted a distinct blue light. The soft halo transformed into a pillar of light that rose to a height of two feet. The blue halo was straight and firm, without the slightest sway, and the metal block emitted a translucent blue light, like a magnificent sapphire, radiating a rich soul power fluctuation.
Fan Yu was very excited, but before he could make a move, Ye Nanxiao, who was standing by the plate, said calmly, "What I just carved was a level two core magic array."
Fan Yu was so excited that he had difficulty breathing. "Genius, genius, you are a genius, huff, huff." You could tell from the excitement on his face how agitated he was.
It's no wonder Fan Yu was so excited. Soul tools were introduced from the Sun Moon Empire, and even Fan Yu himself was only an eighth-level soul tool master. The knowledge of soul tools in the academy was also insufficient, and Shrek Academy was gradually exploring and moving forward.
Ye Nanxiao's talent for soul tools is so amazing that he can carve a level two core magic array just by getting started. This makes Fan Yu extremely excited, as if he has found a treasure.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to make a communication call." Fan Yu was unsteady on his feet, and his hands trembled as he picked up a communication soul tool.
Ye Nanxiao looked at Fan Yu, then at He Caitou, and suddenly realized that He Caitou would join the Tang Clan sooner or later, so why not try to persuade him now?
With a smile on his face, Ye Nanxiao said, "Brother Caitou, do you know the Tang Clan? That's where dreams begin."
Just as Ye Nanxiao was trying to fool He Caitou, Fan Yu ran out of the experimental area and returned a while later with a middle-aged man.
As soon as the two entered, they saw Ye Nanxiao holding a small soul tool and talking to He Caitou.
Fan Yu stared at the peculiar soul tool in Ye Nanxiao's hand, fell silent, and suddenly thought, "Could this be a newly made soul tool?"
After successfully convincing He Caitou about combining Tang Sect hidden weapon elements with soul tools, He Caitou indeed applied to join the Tang Sect. Ye Nanxiao continued, "Look at the soul tool I just made; it's an example of the initial results of integrating Tang Sect hidden weapon elements."
Upon hearing this, Fan Yu came to a terrifying conclusion: Ye Nanxiao's talent was not limited to this.
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Nanxiao felt himself being watched. He turned around in confusion and saw Fan Yu and another middle-aged man staring at him like hungry wolves.
