"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, during this trip, I obtained some extremely special inheritances." After describing his soul skills, Qin Heng changed the subject.
"Extremely special inheritances? What kind of inheritance?" Golden Crocodile Douluo asked gravely. Anything involving gods demanded caution.
"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, do you know about Soul Tools?"
"Of course. Soul Tools were once quite prosperous on our Douluo Continent as well. However, in the distant past, before His Excellency the Angel God became a god, Douluo Continent's civilization suffered a break in continuity. After that, Soul Tools declined along with it.
"Not a single method for crafting Soul Tools was passed down. The Soul Tools used across the continent today were all excavated from ancient ruins."
"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, the inheritance I obtained is related to Soul Tools. I am now a Level 3 Soul Engineer." As Qin Heng spoke, he waved his right hand, and more than a dozen Soul Tools of various kinds appeared before Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Golden Crocodile Douluo was already growing numb. Qin Heng had only vanished for ten minutes, yet he had brought him so many surprises.
He crouched down and carefully inspected the Soul Tools Qin Heng had brought back.
Once he finished examining them, Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes lit up. Setting aside the Storage Soul Tool he already knew about, the defensive and offensive Soul Tools among the dozen or so items gave him an enormous surprise.
"Xiao Heng, do these Soul Tools have ranks?" Golden Crocodile Douluo asked.
"Of course. Soul Tools are divided into ten levels, corresponding to both a soul master's cultivation and a Soul Engineer's rank.
"Level 1 Soul Tools are suited for Soul Scholars from levels one to ten. Soul Scholars can generally craft beginner Soul Tools with basic functions. Level 1 Soul Tools usually cannot possess much offensive power.
"Level 2 Soul Tools are suited for soul masters from levels eleven to twenty. Level 2 Soul Engineers can craft some basic offensive and defensive Soul Tools.
"Level 3 Soul Tools are suited for Soul Grandmasters from levels twenty-one to thirty. Soul Engineers at this level can already craft Mid-range Soul Cannons, which pose no small threat even to Soul Ancestors.
"And so on for the levels beyond that. Generally speaking, Level 8 Soul Tools can threaten Title Douluo-level powerhouses.
"Level 9 Soul Tools, especially Level 9 Fixed Soul Cannon shells, can even threaten Limit Douluo.
"As for Level Ten Soul Tools, they can only be crafted and used by Super Douluo above level ninety-five. They can be called the strongest beneath the god level."
Golden Crocodile Douluo sucked in a cold breath. The strongest beneath the god level—was that not comparable to his eldest brother wielding Angel God Power?
"Xiao Heng, are Soul Tools difficult to learn?" Golden Crocodile Douluo pressed.
In that instant, he thought of many things. The branch hall stewards of Spirit Hall in its various small cities were mostly Soul Grandmasters and Soul Elders. If every one of those stewards could use Soul Tools, what a magnificent sight would that be? How great a leap would Spirit Hall's strength make?
"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, I do not think Soul Tool techniques from Levels 1 to 3 are difficult to learn. If a soul master has a spiritual attribute, mastering them is even easier. I only spent a year becoming a Level 3 Soul Engineer, and my powerful spiritual power helped me greatly."
"Can these techniques be taught to the soul masters of Spirit Hall?"
"Of course. I brought all the relevant books back." As he spoke, Qin Heng pulled more than a dozen books from his Storage Soul Tool.
Golden Crocodile Douluo picked up the books and examined them one by one: Basic Soul Array Composition, Soul Array Core Arrangement, Complete Collection of Primary Soul Arrays, Introduction to Intermediate Soul Arrays, Forging of Soul Metals...
Golden Crocodile Douluo was utterly lost as he read. Clearly, he had no talent in this area. He could only put the books away, intending to send them back to Spirit Hall and let his eldest brother make arrangements.
After handing over the theoretical materials on basic Soul Tools that he had spent a great deal of money purchasing in Ming Capital, Qin Heng said no more. He leaped directly into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and began sorting through the gains from this trip.
It all began when the Asura Armor temporarily unlocked all its functions with the help of Rakshasa Divine Power.
At that time, the Asura Armor had suppressed the Rakshasa Divine Power within its cape. Qin Heng wanted to rapidly exhaust the Rakshasa Divine Power so it would not affect him, and the quickest method was to open a time passage and travel to either the past or the future.
Qin Heng chose to travel to the future.
He had long wanted to know whether using the Asura Armor to travel through time would take him to the past and future of a parallel world, like Trunks did in Dragon Ball.
Or whether it would take him to the past and future along the same timeline.
After Qin Heng arrived in the future, he appeared at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well as well.
This time, opening the time passage consumed roughly two-fifths of the Rakshasa Divine Power sealed within the cape behind him. The Asura Armor could suppress the remainder for the time being, and it posed no threat to Qin Heng.
Thus, he did not hurry to open another time passage and return. Instead, he decided to remain in this world for a while.
Since Qin Heng had appeared at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well ten thousand years in the future, he naturally began gathering its treasures.
However, just as Qin Heng reached out to pick an Immortal Herb, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Youyou, could no longer remain silent. She immediately said, "Outsider, these Immortal Herbs were left behind by that lord. I advise you not to entertain thoughts you should not have."
"Who is this lord you speak of?" Qin Heng asked with interest.
"Of course, it is Sea God Tang San. Ten thousand years ago, Sea God Tang San..."
Qin Heng quietly listened as Youyou praised Tang San, then basically confirmed that this was likely the future of a parallel space-time.
Since that was the case, he would not hold back. Taking advantage of the Asura Armor having all its functions unlocked, Qin Heng acted decisively. He mercilessly killed Aromatic Silk Beauty, then used the Asura Armor's ability to forcibly collect Gene Codes to seal Aromatic Silk Beauty's corpse and Soul Ring.
Qin Heng killed Aromatic Silk Beauty with lightning-fast methods and without the slightest effort, frightening all the other Immortal Herbs. None dared step forward, and even the most hot-tempered Infernal Delicate Apricot did not dare make the slightest move.
He did not immediately act against those Immortal Herbs. Instead, he casually picked up the book Tang San had left for Aromatic Silk Beauty and flipped through it.
Qin Heng skipped over the incoherent, nonsensical rubbish at the beginning. His target was the ancient knowledge of alchemy, herb combinations, and the formulas and methods for strengthening one's foundation, replenishing vitality, healing injuries, and tempering the body.
He also studied the Tang Sect Poison Arts, including the Tang Sect's orthodox methods of using poison, neutralizing poison, controlling poison, and plans for countering all kinds of deadly poisons.
After finishing it, Qin Heng clenched his hand, and the book Tang San had left behind was crushed to powder.
The next instant, a surge of azure divine power abruptly emerged.
Qin Heng revealed an expression of just as I thought. He had crushed Tang San's book to see whether Tang San's divine consciousness remained here. It seemed that it truly did, and the condition for triggering it was the destruction of the book.
