Manufacturing a Machine Tool

"I'm not like you. I'm right-handed, and my left hand isn't as dexterous as my right," Huo Wu replied in surprise.

"That's perfect. This is a good opportunity to help you train your left hand. Your Soul Skill should be usable with both hands simultaneously, right?"

Recalling his duel with Huo Wu, Quan Yi was deeply impressed by Huo Wu's final blow.

At that moment, he realized that if Huo Wu used double whips, it would definitely be more difficult for him to deal with her.

"Yes."

After answering, Huo Wu quickly realized the deeper meaning behind Quan Yi's words.

"That's perfect. If you master your left hand, you can use two whips at the same time. Two whips are definitely better than one."

"Good."

Huo Wu's eyes lit up; Quan Yi's suggestion was a direction she had never considered.

The whip in Huo Wu's right hand gradually disappeared.

Then, it re-condenses in the left hand.

"Smack. Round two, let's continue!" Huo Wu Dance slapped the ground hard, excitedly shouting.

"Slap, slap."

Accuracy and speed are slightly inferior to the right hand, but not too bad.

Huo Wu's talent is indeed amazing; the dexterity of her left hand is increasing at a visible rate.

If this continues, it won't be long before Huo Wu's left hand catches up with her right.

Fifteen minutes later, the sustained, all-out attack left her drenched in sweat.

Quan Yi was also sweating profusely due to the high temperature.

Moreover, the consumption of Soul Power was greater than expected.

Unlike Quan Yue's attacks, Huo Wu's attacks will deplete Quan Yi's Soul Power.

While brief contact may not consume much, prolonged contact will consume a significant amount of Soul Power.

Judging from the difficulty alone, the effect of Huo Wu is comparable to that of Quan Yue.

"Take a half-hour break, then continue."

"Good"

The two sat cross-legged and used meditation to restore their Soul Power.

"Time's up."

Fifteen minutes for the right hand, fifteen minutes for the left hand, half an hour for Soul Power to recover.

The two repeated this process twice.

Quan Yi was very satisfied with the results of this training.

"Not bad, not bad. Xiao Wu, let's continue tomorrow." Quan Yi smiled broadly and patted Huo Wu on the shoulder with satisfaction.

Huo Wu, her hair damp with sweat, glared at him fiercely.

She can't lift her arms anymore.

"I'm going back now," Huo Wu replied weakly.

"Thanks for your hard work."

After Huo Wu left, Quan Yi continued practicing his boxing skills at the Training Ground for an hour.

Dinner time.

Quan Yi ate the Soul Beast Meat that was over 600 years old, and he clearly felt that the effects of the Soul Beast Meat were not as good as before.

First of all, it didn't have the same immediate recovery effect as before.

Quan Yi's energy expenditure is not high right now, so he can still endure the consumption of the Soul Beast Meat that is over 600 years old.

However, once he resumes his extreme training, the Soul Beast Meat will definitely not be able to support three extreme training sessions a day.

This is also Quan Yi.

The next day, Quan Yi opened his eyes in the academy's Simulated Environment Training Ground.

"Upon reaching the Soul Elder realm, the rate of level increase has actually decreased so much."

Quan Yi's cultivation speed remained unchanged; in fact, it was even faster than before due to Quan Yi Soul Power Cultivation Method he had developed himself.

However, the Soul Power that needs to be accumulated at each level of the Soul Elder realm is much greater than that at the Great Soul Master Realm.

At the current rate, Quan Yi's cultivation speed has decreased from four levels per year to two and a half to three levels per year.

In other words, it will take Quan Yi about two years to break through to the Soul Ancestor realm.

The decrease in speed made Quan Yi somewhat uncomfortable, but his speed was already among the top in the continent.

"Don't be greedy, take it one step at a time."

Quan Yi adjusted his mindset and left the Meditation Room.

After the start of the school year, Quan Yi returned to his normal daily cultivation routine.

Quan Yi's training program has become much more extensive.

It includes physical exercise, meditation, martial arts training, and flow training.

From Monday to Friday, Quan Yi is at school.

On Saturdays and Sundays, he would go to the Research Institute to study new types of Gunpowder and firearms.

Saturday two weeks later.

Yuan Family Blacksmith Shop.

Quan Yi and Blacksmith Yuan are studying a huge blueprint.

A drawing is composed of multiple drawings.

This is a Machine Tool drawing.

This is yet another attempt by Quan Yi.

"Young Master, with such a large size, it will take more time for us to manage with the remaining personnel here."

The enormous blueprints spread out before him posed a challenge for Blacksmith Yuan.

The Machine Tool tool is enormous and is composed of various parts, making its forging far more difficult than imagined.

Moreover, a large portion of the Blacksmith Shop's staff had been redeployed, leaving the remaining workers unable to speed up the process.

"It's alright, we don't need anyone else's help. Today, let's try an alternative forging method. Is everything I instructed you to do ready?" Quan Yi smiled confidently.

"Ready? Please follow me."

Blacksmith Yuan led Quan Yi into his Forging Room.

Upon entering the Forging Room, a long, rectangular iron table comes into view.

On the wooden table next to Z was a variety of miscellaneous parts.

Quan Yi's purpose was to make a Musket Boring Machine for musket barrels.

The biggest problem with hand-forged gun barrels is the unevenness inside the barrel.

Not all Blacksmith are as skilled as Blacksmith Yuan; they cannot make the inside and outside of a gun barrel equally smooth.

However, this has a huge impact on the range of Musket, and so on.

Currently, Quan Yue and Su Ling'er are acquiring numerous mines.

In areas like Saltpeter mines, which are often overlooked, there are opportunities to find hidden gems.

However, before officially expanding production, Quan Yi wanted to further optimize the Musket.

Quan Yi picked up a sharp and pointed Boring Tool and examined it carefully.

This is the most important part of the entire Machine Tool.

It is a new type of Alloy metal forged from Iron Essence mixed with other metals.

It is the latest product of the Yuan Family Blacksmith Shop, and its hardness is very high, making it suitable for use as a Boring Tool.

"Young Master, how can the two of us assemble these parts together?"

Joining metal parts is very difficult because there are no screws or other connecting devices.

Blacksmith Yuan was also very curious about Quan Yi's method.

"Just you wait and see."

Quan Yi took out two pairs of Goggles from the Blazing Sun Heart, handed one to Blacksmith Yuan, and put the other on his own head.

"Put it on."

Blacksmith Yuan was astonished by the novel design and the dark lenses.

Although it was a bit strange, he still followed Quan Yi's actions and put it on.

The moment I put it on, the indoor light dimmed noticeably.

Although it was dark, the situation inside the room was clearly visible.

Quan Yi saw that Blacksmith Yuan had put on his Goggles and summoned his Martial Soul.

Blazing Sun Gauntlet.

Right hand, in the shape of a sword finger.

"Pfft!"

A five-centimeter-long beam of fire shot out from the tip of the sword.

Then Quan Yi used his left hand to press the part onto the metal tabletop.

Then, he shaped his hand like a gun, aimed the ray at the edge of the part, and pressed it down.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~"

The thunderous roar and the sparks flying everywhere startled Blacksmith Yuan.

Moreover, the part of the flame laser that comes into contact with the metal emits a strong white light.

Even though Blacksmith Yuan was wearing Goggles, he still squinted slightly.

"This is!"

Blacksmith Yuan observed that the areas where the flames passed were melted by the high temperature and then fused together with the metal below.

Blacksmith Yuan had never seen such a convenient method.
