The Same Principle!

Soul Ring...

Soul Tool Core Formation...

Zhou Qing and Tang San were actually talking about the same thing.

Although this map of Falling Star City is rather rough, once all these roads are outlined, it forms a huge "Soul Ring". At the center of this "Soul Ring", the pattern formed by the roads in the middle of Falling Star City resembles interconnected Soul Guiding Inscription, which combine to form a Soul Tool Core Formation.

coincide?

Or was it designed this way on purpose?

But both Zhou Qing and Tang San felt a chill run down their spines.

This thing looks too much like Soul Tool Core Formation, and the pattern looks much more bizarre than the pattern on that Soul Guidance Crystal.

Although the Soul Tool Core Formation Soul Guidance Crystal was extremely complex, the lines of each Soul Guiding Inscription gave people a sense of gentleness and harmony.

The pattern of the Soul Tool Core Formation, which resembled being wrapped in a Soul Ring, gave the two of them a feeling of dizziness.

This is definitely not something that is beneficial to people!

"Is it Dales?"

After Tang San calmed down, he couldn't help but ask Zhou Qing a question.

"It couldn't be him."

Zhou Qing shook his head. "The newest buildings in the city are at least twenty or thirty years old. Dales only came here to take office six years ago... I even suspect that the previous city lords of Dales may not have been the masterminds behind the construction of this Soul Tool Core Formation, which is similar to Soul Ring, but rather someone else was guiding it in secret."

At this point, Zhou Qing looked at Romantina: "After arriving in Falling Star City, you seemed to have mentioned that Falling Star City has undergone several road planning projects in the past two hundred years?"

"Um... I've only heard people say that, but the specifics—"

Romantina grabbed You Hui's shoulder. "Youyou, do you know what's going on?"

"This, that..."

Seeing that Zhou Qing and the others had all turned their attention to her, You Hui became extremely nervous and stammered, "My parents did tell me about this before the incident. Twenty years ago, the former city lord planned the roads in the city. Then, six years ago, the former city lord suddenly died, and Dales took over."

"Died of illness? The former city lord wasn't Soul Master? Or did he suffer from some very serious illness?" Zhou Qing asked.

"I don't know, but I heard that the previous city lords all died of illness, but no one cared what illness they had." You Hui spoke, she was no longer as nervous as before, and her speech became smoother.

"Did they all die of illness?"

Zhou Qing fell into deep thought.

What kind of riddle are you two playing?

Xiao Wu took the map of Falling Star City drawn by Zhou Qing and was able to see some of its secrets. However, she had never come into contact with the Soul Tool Core Formation before, so she could not recognize what it was at first glance. She just felt that it was somewhat similar to the patterns inside the Soul Ring.

"Exactly! Is there something wrong with this road map of Falling Star City? It looks a bit complicated and is making my head spin."

Ning Rongrong's thinking was the simplest; she couldn't see anything wrong with the road layout of Falling Star City. She just felt that it was a little strange to build a circular road near the edge of a square city.

As for the Soul Tool Core Formation, she knew about it, since the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had industries related to Soul Tool, but she had not really looked into the specifics of the Soul Tool Core Formation.

"It can't be explained in a few words in a short time. All you need to know is that there may really be a Fallen Ones behind Falling Star City, and he may be plotting something."

Zhou Qing closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and tried to calm himself down, thinking about how to explain the reasoning in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

Seeing Zhou Qing like this, the others did not disturb him, but simply waited quietly for him to speak.

After a while, Zhou Qing opened his eyes and said to Tang San, "Tang San, do you remember when I made a Paper Airplane in Holy Soul Village?"

"I remember you used this to explain the function of Soul Guiding Inscription to me back then."

Tang San would not forget, "However, the difference between the two is quite large... After all, after inscribing the Soul Guiding Inscription inscription on the Hidden Weapon, Soul Power must be used for the Soul Guiding Inscription on it to have the corresponding effect."

"In fact, even without using Soul Power, one can use the air to lift the dart. This is not only a physical effect, but the structure of the Soul Guiding Inscription itself should also have a very slight effect."

Zhou Qing, however, had a different opinion.

"You mean?"

Tang San's gaze once again fell upon the map of Falling Star City's buildings and roads.

"We Soul Master are able to cultivate because we can draw energy from heaven and earth, allowing it to circulate within our bodies and be refined into Soul Power."

Zhou Qing said, "Similarly, a dart engraved with Soul Guiding Inscription should also be able to utilize the Heaven and Earth Energy when it is in motion, thanks to the patterns on it."

How can this be proven?

Tang San was itching to make a move.

"It's simple. When you were in Holy Soul Village, after learning about the Soul Guiding Inscription on the Soul Tool Fan, you created a new Hidden Weapon: the Wind Leaf Dart. But the Soul Guiding Inscription must have been engraved on the Wind Leaf Dart after it was made. You should still have some blank Wind Leaf Dart that haven't been engraved yet, right?"

To verify this theory, it's actually quite easy; just do a small experiment:

Without using Soul Power, throw wind-blade darts inscribed with Soul Guiding Inscription Wind Leaf Dart and blank Wind Leaf Dart with the same force, and observe the distance they fly.

Tang San's eyes lit up, and he took out two Wind Leaf Dart from the Moon Shines Brightly in the Twelve Towers. One was blank, without any Soul Guiding Inscription, while the other was engraved with strange patterns.

The experimental site was, of course, You Hui's garden.

Tang San first gently threw out the whiteboard Wind Leaf Dart.

Using only the force of flicking the wrist and fingers, the dart flew nearly forty meters.

Next came the Wind Leaf Dart inscribed with Soul Guiding Inscription—

With a force similar to that before, it flew nearly seventy meters before crashing into the garden wall and falling to the ground.

Everyone present could foresee that if there had been no wall blocking its way, this Wind Leaf Dart could have flown much farther.

"That's really true!"

After several experiments, Tang San slapped his forehead and cursed himself for not noticing this phenomenon before. He shouldn't have done that!

But you can't blame him for that.

After all, these darts require skill to throw, and only with the support of Soul Power can they achieve the greatest destructive effect.

Therefore, Tang San had never thought of throwing using only the force of his wrist and fingers.

"Unexpectedly, even without the support of Soul Power, the Soul Guiding Inscription engraved on the Wind Leaf Dart can still fly farther by utilizing the omnipresent energy in the world."

"Qing Ge, your wisdom is unparalleled!"

Tang San's admiration for Zhou Qing grew even stronger.

Paper, when folded into Paper Airplane, can use its wings to allow the air to lift its weight, thus flying farther.

After the Wind Leaf Dart is inscribed with the corresponding Soul Guiding Inscription, it can also draw on the Heaven and Earth Energy to make its rotation speed faster, so as to fly farther.

The former, by changing its shape, thereby utilizing the air.

The latter, by adding inscriptions, draws upon spiritual energy.

Although the forms are different, the principles are the same!
