All Masters

Chapter 33

Dr. Ratio's laboratory.

A blue flame suddenly appeared, and Dr. Ratio returned.

In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed back from the Star Dou Great Forest.

Qian Daoliu and Light Feather Douluo were both stunned.

What kind of speed was that?

"Dr. Ratio, have you finished your business?" Qian Daoliu asked doubtfully.

Dr. Ratio nodded, then walked toward the Experiment Table. Light Feather Douluo tactfully stepped aside and stated his request, hoping that the Mastiff Soul Beast could also receive a Synesthesia Beacon injection.

Dr. Ratio directly found the solution and handed it to him, saying:

"Do not touch anything carelessly yourself. If you trigger some device, problems may arise."

Light Feather Douluo repeatedly nodded and chuckled. "I understand. Like that thing—if I touch it, the entire Douluo Continent will be reduced to ashes, right? I know all about it."

"I'm only looking around outside the Experiment Table. I wouldn't dare touch anything."

As he explained, Light Feather Douluo went to inject the Mastiff Soul Beast.

Listening to their conversation, Qian Daoliu's gaze unconsciously drifted again toward the device in the center of the laboratory, covered by Red Cloth.

He could not help but entertain the thought. It certainly could not destroy the Douluo Continent, but it had to be an incomparably powerful divine weapon!

If Spirit Hall could equip it, Qian Renxue would not need to infiltrate Heavenly Dou at all!

"Dr. Ratio, can that weapon be equipped by Spirit Hall?" Qian Daoliu asked softly.

Dr. Ratio gave Qian Daoliu a surprised glance. Could he not understand human speech?

Once that device was activated, it would deal an utterly devastating blow to the Douluo Continent.

And he wanted Spirit Hall to equip it? What, did Spirit Hall want to blow itself up?

Dr. Ratio could not even be bothered to answer that question. He continued studying the Synesthesia Beacon.

Injecting it with a solution was far too inefficient!

Moreover, for Soul Beasts, the second intelligent lifeform of the Douluo Continent, it was even less likely that they would willingly accept having such a thing injected into them.

"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts can also be affected, but I need to devise a more efficient method."

Dr. Ratio thought to himself.

The Douluo Continent was not his previous world. Though it possessed something as wondrous as Soul Power, Soul Power also seemed to have locked away people's intelligence.

Resting his chin on his hand, Dr. Ratio pondered for a moment. Before long, he had a new idea.

Since Soul Beasts would not accept it voluntarily, he would make them undergo the change passively.

There were two methods. The first was aerosolization. Soul Beasts needed to breathe too. If he atomized the Synesthesia Beacon so that every breathing creature could absorb it, would that not accomplish his goal?

The second was light radiation!

Just like sunlight, he could directly embed the information of the Synesthesia Beacon into light.

Dr. Ratio preferred the second option. Light would certainly spread more conveniently than aerosols!

Seeing that Dr. Ratio ignored him, Qian Daoliu awkwardly rubbed his nose, feeling somewhat resentful.

Dr. Ratio's temperament was not respectful enough toward his elders.

Once Xue Er returned, he would have to establish his authority as an elder and make Xue Er cooperate with him!

Of course, he also knew where to draw the line. The prerequisite for an elder's authority was that he could not make Dr. Ratio truly resent him!

Qian Daoliu said nothing more. Harboring his little scheme, he quietly left.

"Xue Er, when the time comes, it will be up to you to help your grandfather and Dr. Ratio thaw the ice between you..."

After injecting the Mastiff Soul Beast with the Synesthesia Beacon, Light Feather Douluo spoke with it for a while and readily promised to help reunite it with its mother. Then he happily returned as well.

Dr. Ratio had no intention of paying attention to them. Once he had an idea, he began preparing a new form of Synesthesia Beacon!

On the third day, Dr. Ratio's lecture was scheduled for noon.

Dr. Ratio still had not left the laboratory, as though he did not care about the lecture in the slightest.

That was indeed the case. He had already fully researched the content of this lecture years ago.

During the years he had spent in Spirit Hall, he had produced far too many theoretical results. What he was releasing now did not even amount to the tip of the iceberg!

Now, all his interest lay in researching the Synesthesia Beacon.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Xie Yue entered the laboratory lightly, excitement written across his face.

Walking to Dr. Ratio's side, Xie Yue said in a low, excited voice, "Dr. Ratio, I succeeded. My combat strength has now doubled! It is all thanks to you..."

Dr. Ratio gave him an indifferent glance. "Since you know that, then you should also know how many points your performance is worth, correct?"

"..." Xie Yue froze, and embarrassment immediately appeared on his face.

Even though he had used the Three Elements Fusion Skill before the worshippers and received all manner of lavish praise.

Here with Dr. Ratio, he was still merely an idiot.

Dr. Ratio looked at Xie Yue and continued, "Xie Yue, do you know why I am doing things this way?"

Xie Yue was taken aback. He fell silent for a moment, considering Dr. Ratio's intentions.

To be honest, almost no one could understand what Dr. Ratio did.

He clearly possessed so many theoretical achievements. If he casually published them, he could completely become the "god" of the entire Soul Master Realm!

Yet Dr. Ratio always held something back, perpetually whetting everyone else's appetite.

If it were someone else, Xie Yue would wonder whether they were waiting to sell at a higher price. But this was Dr. Ratio; he certainly had his own considerations!

If he could not understand it, then it was definitely his own problem!

"I am very dull-witted and have not understood Dr. Ratio's profound intentions. But I believe that everything Dr. Ratio does has its own reason. We do not understand only because our level is not high enough."

Xie Yue looked at Dr. Ratio with reverence.

The devotion in his eyes surpassed even that of a believer facing a god.

Dr. Ratio frowned slightly. That kind of gaze was precisely what he disliked most.

He patted Xie Yue on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Then experience it for yourself. Leave."

His tone was somewhat impatient, as though he was disappointed that Xie Yue had failed to live up to expectations.

Xie Yue panicked, realizing that he had displeased Dr. Ratio. Yet he did not understand why Dr. Ratio would react this way when he respected him so deeply.

"Then I'll leave..." Xie Yue said dejectedly as he quietly departed.

At the same time, more than seven hundred thousand people flooded into Spirit City!

Most were well-off residents from nearby cities. Having learned of Master Ratio's renown, they all wanted to come see this extraordinary man!

Naturally, the nobles and Soul Masters would not miss it either. They all came.

After completing registration, they headed directly to the central venue.

This time, Spirit Hall gave no preferential treatment to any Soul Masters. Even Soul Masters from the Upper Three Sects had to draw numbers at random, and their seats were not fixed.

The two heads of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan happened to be seated together.

Yu Luomian said angrily, "Spirit Hall has no shame! This is simply an insult to us!"

Yu Yuanzhen shook his head. "Wait and see. I hope this trip will not be in vain."

Yu Luomian snorted coldly, his expression still filled with intense dissatisfaction.

Having been treated so coldly by Spirit Hall, his temper flared. "If that Three Elements Fusion Skill cannot convince the masses, we must thoroughly slap Spirit Hall in the face!"

"Big Brother, bring Xiaogang back. If he can deduce the inheritance of the Bloodline Spirit..."

Yu Luomian's words made Yu Yuanzhen's heart skip a beat.

That was right. Yu Xiaogang had once been a master as well...
