Although Chen Ming still had to perform each operation himself at present, if he truly set his mind to it, he could even establish a specialized assembly line.
Once they were brainwashed and equipped with special Soul Tools, they would become a fighting force that could be formed quickly. If he went a little further off the deep end, he could even create artificial wombs to rapidly mass-produce the raw materials for soldiers. That way, he could probably mass-produce rank-and-file troops with combat strength equivalent to Soul Elders or even Soul Ancestors in just two to three years.
He simply had not become that deranged yet.
After all, this was only the Douluo World, not some grimdark Warhammer 40,000 setting. Knowing these technologies did not mean he actually intended to do anything so utterly depraved.
In the months before the tournament began, Chen Ming had indeed conducted a great deal of research, and every project was highly significant: the beneficial mutation of Feng Xiaotian's martial soul, Huo Wu's special body martial soul and talent for Ring Fusion, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill between the sisters Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, and that searing essence concealed beneath the ice phoenix martial soul...
The Douluo World's foundations ran far too deep. Many seemingly inconspicuous things, when traced back to their roots, could ultimately be linked to the great war in the Divine Realm. The emergence of Spirit Masters in the Douluo World had likewise resulted from changes brought about by dispersed divine power.
Abilities that made absolutely no sense frequently appeared, yet the Douluo World's natives never found anything unreasonable about them. Even with Chen Ming's current perception and spiritual power, there were things whose underlying causes remained difficult to discern. He could only speculate and imitate based on their outward manifestations.
