Lin Bai's Soul Guidance Computer, Qian Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo!

"Zero and one?"

Lin Bai's question had left Kong Deming baffled.

"Aren't those just simple numbers? Could there be some deeper meaning to them?"

Lin Bai smiled, then took a metal plate from his storage ring. Four small components were mounted on it.

"These are four soul guidance circuits I made myself after learning how from books."

Lin Bai pointed to the small components as he spoke to Kong Deming.

"It's simple. After you feed Soul Power into one, you can activate it by pressing the switch, and the Soul Power can pass through."

"But if you don't press the switch, the Soul Power can't pass through."

"If we define Soul Power passing through as one and being unable to pass through as zero, then these four soul guidance circuits will produce a sequence of zeros and ones."

Kong Deming nodded thoughtfully.

Strictly speaking, the so-called homemade soul guidance circuits Lin Bai had brought out couldn't even be considered Soul Tools.

They could only be called simple soul guidance devices. Children of six or seven in the Sun Moon Empire could make something similar.

But the arrangement of zeros and ones he spoke of seemed to contain a tremendous mystery.

Lin Bai continued his explanation.

"If we assign these four soul guidance circuits the values one, two, four, and eight respectively, then whether they're on or off can express any number from zero to nine."

"And if we increase the number of soul guidance circuits, we can use a particular combination of on and off states to represent a written character."

"These numbers and characters represent information!"

At that point, Lin Bai smiled at Kong Deming.

"As long as there are enough zeros and ones, this unassuming little device could encompass everything under heaven and earth. It could even be more efficient than a Soul Engineer's own brain."

"A spiritual Martial Soul? No, even a spiritual-type Limit Douluo couldn't possess such terrifying computing power."

"Elder Kong, I've heard that the power of a Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell is comparable to a full-strength strike from a Limit Douluo, and that it can easily destroy a city?"

"If we used this Soul Guidance Computer to calculate every last method an enemy could use, so that the Sun Moon Empire's Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells would never miss once fired..."

"Only then would Soul Tools have truly reached their peak!"

As a miserable university student who had majored in computer science in his previous life, Lin Bai used the simplest explanation to paint Kong Deming a picture of the grandest possible future!

Kong Deming had been utterly bewildered at first, but now his gaze gradually grew deep, and even fear and confusion appeared on his face.

As the person closest to becoming a Level 10 Soul Engineer in the Sun Moon Empire, he did understand what Lin Bai had just said.

But those words were a little too shocking.

Because if he followed Lin Bai's train of thought, and this so-called Soul Guidance Computer could calculate everything under heaven and earth, what meaning would there be in the existence of Soul Engineers then?

But no matter what, the thing Lin Bai had brought out could definitely change the entire future course of Soul Tool development in the Sun Moon Empire.

And it would probably burn through a lot of money, too!

"Lin Bai, how old are you?"

Hearing Kong Deming's question, Lin Bai smiled and answered.

"I just turned eleven~"

Kong Deming nodded gently, then asked,

"Would you be willing to become this old man's disciple?"

"From this day forward, you would be an official member of Illustrious Virtue Hall, as well as the chief consultant for the Soul Guidance Computer research project."

Yet when he heard Kong Deming's invitation, Lin Bai deliberately let a troubled look appear on his face.

"Well, Elder Kong, I actually have two younger sisters..."

"I'll take all three of you!"

"Deal!"

As the Sky Screen shut down its broadcast once again, cries of dismay immediately rang out across the Douluo Continent.

The concept of a so-called Soul Guidance Computer that Lin Bai had proposed was like a Soul Guidance Ray Gun appearing in primitive society.

Even Kong Deming, ten thousand years in the future, couldn't fully understand it, much less the people of the present.

But the revelations about Sea God Tang San and other future events had everyone deeply interested.

Meanwhile, beneath the dark night sky, an old man and a young man were galloping along the main road outside Spirit City.

Their coats were glossy, their bodies strong, and their skin was faintly covered in black scales.

The mounts beneath the two men were clearly rare thousand-li steeds with Soul Beast bloodlines.

But now, the white foam at the corners of the steeds' mouths was faintly tinged with blood. The relentless gallop had clearly injured their internal organs.

"Yuntao, we're here. Remember to organize your thoughts. We're about to meet His Holiness the Pope!"

Yu Chuan and Su Yuntao had ridden for an entire day and night, and had finally reached the gates of Spirit City.

As the two men leaped from their mounts, the magnificent steeds collapsed with a crash, utterly spent.

"Stop! How dare you try to force your way into Spirit City!"

Soul Power surged wildly around the Spirit Hall general guarding Spirit City as he shouted angrily at them.

But the next instant, Yu Chuan produced his token as the master of a Spirit Hall Branch and spoke urgently.

"This old man is Yu Chuan, master of the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch. I have an important lead concerning Sea God Tang San from the Sky Screen and must meet His Holiness the Pope!"

At the words "Sea God Tang San," the guarding general's expression changed instantly.

"I see. We'll go to the sacred mountain and report to His Holiness the Pope at once. Please rest for the time being!"

"Someone, arrange some food for these two-"

But before he could finish, two figures suddenly appeared before everyone, as though a fierce wind had swept past.

They were two powerfully built old men with tiger-like eyes, thick brows, and grayish-white hair.

The two looked remarkably alike; they could even be said to be identical.

The difference was that the old man on the left had a steadier bearing, while the one on the right looked unruly and defiant.

When the general saw the gold embroidery on their robes clearly, he hurriedly saluted in alarm.

"Greetings, esteemed offerings!"

Yu Chuan and Su Yuntao both shuddered at the general's words.

Offerings?

Spirit Hall's offerings held a higher status than even its elders. Every one of them was a powerhouse at the Super Douluo level, standing at the very pinnacle of the Soul Master World!

Yu Chuan was still holding up, but Su Yuntao's legs had already gone weak, and he was almost collapsing to the ground.

When in his life had he ever seen figures this important?

The tall old man on the right, who looked somewhat unruly, couldn't help laughing when he saw how Yu Chuan and Su Yuntao were trembling with fear.

"Why are you so scared? This is Spirit City, and you're members of Spirit Hall. Isn't this just like coming home?"

"I'm Demon Subduing, and this is my older brother, Qian Jun!"

"Hey, you two little fellows, why don't you come with us brothers to Douluo Hall?"

"We're very interested in information about Sea God Tang San too!"
