Chapter 64: The Backward Sun-Moon Empire
Perhaps it was because Wu Ming was too famous in the inner courtyard, and the result of the battle between Wang Nan and her spread throughout the inner courtyard within half a day.
Only on the second day, the ranking list of the inner courtyard changed. Thanks to the battle with Wu Ming, Wang Nan's ranking in the inner courtyard jumped to 15th place. Now, most of those ahead of him are inner courtyard disciples with the cultivation level of Soul Douluo or Soul Saint.
Fortunately, not everyone saw the battle, so many inner court disciples did not know what Wang Nan looked like, which also prevented him from attracting too many glances when he went out.
Wang Nan came all the way to the inner courtyard soul guidance department, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Ye Xiaosheng approaching mysteriously. As a formal player in the fighting soul competition a few years later, Ye Xiaosheng also successfully entered the inner courtyard.
"Hello, Senior Brother Wang." Ye Xiaosheng called out in a strange manner.
Wang Nan couldn't help but smile when he heard Ye Xiaosheng's words. They had met each other a lot when they were in the outer courtyard, and now that they were in the inner courtyard, Ye Xiaosheng's "senior brother" was more of a joke.
Although Lin Xiao, who made the soul guide propulsion device for Wang Nan, passed the sixth grade upgrade assessment, he was ultimately unable to enter the inner courtyard. From then on, Wang Nan would consult Ye Xiaosheng regarding any matters related to soul guide devices.
Now that Wang Nan’s cultivation has reached Soul King, he is no longer satisfied with the speed of the third-level soul guide.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and help me take a look at this." Wang Nan said as he took out the soul guide propulsion device he had been wearing on his body.
"Ah, I remember this. You used this thing to catch up with me and beat me." Ye Xiaosheng looked at the soul guide thruster over and over again, feeling a little emotional. "But it seems that there is no problem. What do you want to see?"
"See if you can help me upgrade it, or make another one based on this model, preferably to the level of a fifth-level soul guide."
Ye Xiaosheng looked at Wang Nan and said, "It's not difficult to simply increase the speed, but you have to know that the stronger the thrust of the soul guide propulsion device, the more it will test your physical strength. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it even if it's only slightly accelerated."
Wang Nan nodded. Although he had never learned how to make soul guides, he still knew some basics.
"Don't worry, it's no problem."
“Oh, sometimes I really envy you soul masters. Even though I’m a level five soul master now, if I didn’t have the bonus of soul skills, I would have to be very careful when using this level three soul thruster.” Ye Xiaosheng put away Wang Nan’s soul thruster.
"Compared to remaking it, it would definitely be better to upgrade this soul guide propulsion device. After all, you have been using it for so long, and I am afraid you will not be able to fully adapt to the new soul guide device in a short period of time. Then leave it with me first, and I will come to you after the upgrade is completed."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Wang Nan nodded, and suddenly remembered something else, "How's the research on the soul ray that I told you about last time going?"
Ye Xiaosheng shook his head. "You only told me its effect. I can't reproduce it with just this. And from what you said, it can track targets and has impressive power. It sounds like it's in the range of a seventh-level soul guide. Even if you put its prototype in front of me, I may not be able to figure it out."
"And it's not just me. Even the teachers in the academy find it difficult to make the kind of soul guide you mentioned. Where did you see that kind of soul guide? Did you go to the Sun and Moon Empire?" Ye Xiaosheng looked at Wang Nan with some confusion.
What Wang Nan told Ye Xiaosheng was the soul ray used by the Soul Douluo who hunted down Dai Yuheng last time. Now, according to Ye Xiaosheng, that Soul Douluo should be from the Sun and Moon Empire.
Could it be that Duke White Tiger fought too fiercely on the battlefield between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire, so the Sun Moon Empire was looking for Duke White Tiger's child to seek revenge?
"I didn't see it in the Sun and Moon Empire." Wang Nan shook his head and said no more.
"That's good. The Sun Moon Empire has never been very friendly to our Shrek disciples." Ye Xiaosheng did not ask any more questions, but changed the subject and talked about other things. "But I tried to make some of the other soul guide you mentioned."
Ye Xiaosheng took out a somewhat strange-looking soul guide as he spoke. At the front was a whole piece of rare metal that Wang Nan did not recognize. Two dials were fixed on it, one was somewhat similar to a compass, and the other had some scales marked on it.
"This is the soul guide detector I initially completed according to your idea. It can detect soul power fluctuations within a radius of one kilometer. From the two dials above, you can see the direction and approximate distance of the soul power source."
Ye Xiaosheng sighed and said, "It's not difficult to make the detection-type soul guide you mentioned. The only difficulty is this rare metal that is sensitive to soul power. It's just that no one would use the soul guide for such a purpose like you do."
"Is this the most proper way to use it?" Wang Nan looked down and saw that the pointer on it was shaking constantly, but it was roughly pointing to the soul guide test area of the soul guide department. It can be seen that the soul power fluctuations in the soul guide test area were the strongest.
In Douluo Continent, except for spiritual soul masters who can use skills such as spiritual detection, other soul masters can rarely sense the fluctuations of soul power in unknown areas in advance.
Wang Nan himself can rely on his powerful mental power to slightly sense the surrounding situation, but after all, the effect is not as good as that of a spiritual soul master, and the consumption is also large. If this detection type soul guide can be upgraded, he will not be completely in the dark about some unknown areas.
"This is the initial version. I will try to upgrade it so that its detection range is larger and the detection results are more accurate."
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time. By the way, no one else knows about this, right?" Wang Nan asked.
"Who do you think I am?" Ye Xiaosheng's expression was a little exaggerated. "Every soul guide's unique soul guide is top secret. Although you are not a soul guide, I have already regarded you as a soul guide. I will never spread these unique ideas of yours."
Wang Nan and Ye Xiaosheng have known each other for a long time, so they naturally know what kind of person he is. Although he doesn't talk much, he is still quite responsible, otherwise they would not have entrusted him with the task of making the soul guide.
In fact, Wang Nan still has many brilliant ideas. When Ye Xiaosheng's soul guide level is higher, he plans to ask Ye Xiaosheng to help make a soul guide detector that can be remotely controlled and capture images.
In Wang Nan's opinion, the soul guide detector of the Sun-Moon Empire still requires a soul master to sit inside and operate it, which is still a bit too backward.
