Nan Feng: I Turned That Divine Masterpiece into a Necklace and Gave It to Bo Saixi!

Bibi Dong looked at Nan Feng with a strange expression.

You were the freak who had independently developed that array in the first place. Even you, its "original creator" and developer, had been helpless about the base wearing down. The Sea God had only just encountered this entirely new system, so wasn't it perfectly normal that he couldn't understand it? What was there to be disillusioned about?

Still, seeing Nan Feng's indignant little face as he desperately sought validation, Bibi Dong wisely swallowed those complaints.

She nodded along very cooperatively, expressing her wholehearted agreement.

Then she naturally asked, "What happened after that? Since even the Sea God had no solution, how did you finally break that deadlock?"

"That old Sea God really didn't have a solution at first, but his skin was thick enough."

Nan Feng curled his lip. "He bluntly admitted that he was very interested in my work and said he could help research it with me, so he had me stay on Sea God Island for the time being."

"So, for the next few years, I kept grinding away on Sea God Island. I improved the existing arrays, developed new auxiliary circuits, and searched for better substitute materials."

Nan Feng raised his little face, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.

"After countless array explosions and failures, I really managed to figure it out in the end!"

"First, I completely replaced the material of the base! I swapped out the previous metal for Deep Sea Sinking Silver."

"Deep Sea Sinking Silver?" Bibi Dong frowned slightly. It was the first time she had heard that name.

"That's top-grade stuff." Nan Feng explained, "It only grows in the terrifying dark-current regions more than ten thousand meters beneath the sea. Silver ore veins on the seabed endure the extreme pressure of ocean tides year after year, while being infused day and night with trace amounts of the Sea God's power. Only after thousands of years does it slowly settle and condense!"

"Not only does it have unimaginable stability when conducting Soul Power, it also naturally anchors frequencies and is extraordinarily pressure-resistant. Only a freakish material like this can truly withstand intense Soul Power resonance without physically fracturing."

"Second, there was the brand-new buffer array."

Nan Feng raised a second finger. "At the Sea God's suggestion, I forcibly carved out space within the original Resonance Array and integrated a special array specifically meant to redirect resonance loss."

"Soul Power resonance inevitably causes violent high-frequency physical vibrations. But under the effect of the Synchronous Frequency Buffer Array, those destructive vibrations are directly channeled through the Soul Tool and transferred into the ground outside! The entire surrounding environment bears that destructive force for it!"

"Of course, that design also came with one ironclad rule: when this Soul Tool is in use, it has to be absolutely grounded! If it isn't in contact with solid ground, it can't establish a vibration-transfer channel. Its internal protection mechanism will instantly lock down, and it simply won't activate."

"Deep Sea Sinking Silver as the pressure-resistant base, the Synchronous Frequency Buffer Array to shed force, and finally those three Spirit Bones from the same source as the core resonance source... I finally succeeded in creating this supreme Soul Tool, one that could perfectly assist even an Ultimate Douluo in high-intensity cultivation!"

"I named it—the Three-Phase Star Bell!"

Bibi Dong silently watched Nan Feng, her gaze incomparably complicated.

How much unbearable effort did it take to create such an unbelievable divine creation? How many tedious, despairing trials and errors had he endured? She truly could not imagine it.

But of one thing she was certain: Nan Feng, who had created something like this with a mortal body, was an unparalleled genius worthy of the title—one who had even surpassed his era.

She lowered her head and looked again at the exquisite Three-Phase Star Bell before her, sighing softly.

"So this thing was destined to be a one-of-a-kind item that could never be replicated, wasn't it? Leaving aside those complicated Soul Guidance Arrays of yours that make one's scalp tingle, Deep Sea Sinking Silver from ten thousand meters beneath the sea alone is nearly impossible to find. Not to mention those three thousand-year Spirit Bones that are impossible to seek out and naturally resonate as one."

Yet Nan Feng shook his head. "It isn't completely impossible to replicate."

Bibi Dong froze. "Even if you could go to great lengths to retrieve more Deep Sea Sinking Silver, how could you replicate three Spirit Bones from the same source?"

"Finding special Spirit Bones that form a trinity like this definitely depends entirely on luck."

Nan Feng spread his little hands. "But I can find a substitute for the Spirit Bones."

"I can completely simulate and replace the resonance between Spirit Bones by developing a new Resonance Array. The real crucial problem with this thing is ultimately its capacity to bear high-level Soul Power. Since ordinary soul-guidance metals can't meet that requirement, I'll find something else!"

"Later, while I was on Sea God Island, I dove into its deepest reaches and accidentally found a perfect replacement. It was an exceptionally special Deep-Sea Crystal. It formed in a manner similar to Deep Sea Sinking Silver, but it was even rarer and more precious!"

Nan Feng's eyes gleamed. "I carved a specialized micro-array suited to that special Deep-Sea Crystal and used it to perfectly replace the function of the three Spirit Bones, creating a new single-unit Soul Tool. I named it—the Heart of the Tide."

"Thanks to the heaven-defying properties of that special Deep-Sea Crystal, once activated, the Heart of the Tide automatically radiates a perfect quasi-sinusoidal Soul Power wave in all directions! Not only is its frequency absolutely constant, it is also naturally synchronized with the rhythm of the sea's tides."

"So unlike the Three-Phase Star Bell, it doesn't need three components for some trinity frequency lock. A single core is enough!"

"And if it's used at sea, it can directly draw upon the ocean's inexhaustible tidal energy."

"For sea soul masters, the amplification it provides would be even more terrifying than the Three-Phase Star Bell's!"

At this point, Bibi Dong's heartbeat suddenly sped up.

Just one was enough? And it didn't need the cumbersome coordination of three components?

She could not help asking, "Then where is the Heart of the Tide now? Can I take a look?"

Nan Feng casually shrugged. "You can't. I turned it into a necklace and gave it to Bo Saixi."

Bibi Dong's expression abruptly froze, and the look on her face instantly stiffened.

He turned it into a necklace? And gave it to Bo Saixi?!

Nan Feng did not notice the sudden surge of abnormal emotion in Bibi Dong's eyes at all and continued speaking to himself.

"During those years I spent messing around on Sea God Island, she really helped me quite a lot. Whether it was testing new Soul Guidance Circuits for me or diving into the deep sea to help me find new top-grade materials, she put in plenty of effort."

"Later, since I had no way to begin the Sea God's inheritance, I planned to leave and try my luck in the Capital of Slaughter."

"We'd known each other, so it counted as fate. Consider it a farewell gift—I gave the Heart of the Tide to her."

At this point, Nan Feng let out a long sigh.

A weathered, resentful look appeared on that exquisitely sculpted little face, utterly at odds with his six-year-old appearance.

"Originally, I thought that with my talent and abilities, going to the Capital of Slaughter to earn the Asura Godhood would take ten years at most."

"But who could have expected that I'd run into Bi Yang of the God of Evil halfway through?"

"That freakish Godly Trial pinned me down on Hell Road and tortured me for decades! Every day was worse than a dog's life!"

Nan Feng irritably scratched his hair, then his gaze turned somewhat distant again.

"...I wonder how Bo Saixi is doing now."

He shook his head, his tone carrying a touch of self-mockery and sentiment.

"But I've been missing for so many years without a word. That woman has probably long since forgotten me completely."
