"You're incredible!"
"Teacher Xuan, you're truly incredible!"
Ye Luochen spoke excitedly.
What did this mean?
It meant that the greatest barrier to using Soul Tools had vanished!
No Soul Power was needed—anyone could use a Soul Tool!
This was something that could truly overturn the entire Soul Tool landscape from its very foundation!
Facing Ye Luochen's excitement, Xuan Ziwen smiled, then shook his head.
"It's not as incredible as you make it sound. This is only a prototype, and it has many shortcomings.
"It can't even pass testing, so how could it be put into practical use?"
"First is operation. While it no longer requires actively channeling Soul Power into it, the operating procedure is extremely complicated.
"Without a foundation in Soul Tool technology, I'm afraid people couldn't be taught how to use it at all. It would be completely unusable."
"Second is the transmission system. On the surface, it doesn't require Soul Power, but I still took a shortcut and placed several core formations inside.
"Once the core formations' energy is depleted, this machine will no longer be able to function properly and will need to be recharged.
"From that perspective, it hasn't truly changed anything in an essential sense compared to traditional Soul Tools."
"It's already enough." Ye Luochen shook his head, his tone still brimming with excitement.
"Nothing is accomplished overnight. To turn such an incredibly abstract concept into something this concrete has already far exceeded my expectations."
As he spoke, Ye Luochen paused slightly, as though recalling something, then asked again,
"Come to think of it, is this why you insisted that I familiarize myself with those machine tools before letting me touch this thing, Teacher Xuan?"
Xuan Ziwen nodded without hesitation.
"Of course. You have a record, kid. How could I not be on guard?"
