Blueprints from Ten Thousand Years Ago Appeared Ten Thousand Years Later?

Before long, Leng Yaozhu arrived at Sea God Lake with her Storage Soul Tool, looking for Lin Fan. The moment she saw him, she unconsciously quickened her pace.

"Lin Fan, here. Pick whatever you want."

After handing over the Storage Soul Tool, Leng Yaozhu looked at Lin Fan expectantly with her beautiful red eyes. Ever since learning that Lin Fan was a Level-Nine Soul Engineer, her expectations of him had grown considerably.

If it were Lin Fan, perhaps he could directly recreate the technologies of the future or something?

In truth, Leng Yaozhu had also prepared herself for the possibility of never being able to return. If she truly could not go back, she could not simply stop living, could she? She had to remain in this world and work hard to become stronger.

As the Leng Family's heir, Leng Yaozhu had always considered the worst possible outcome.

Of course, her expectations of Lin Fan were not part of that worst-case scenario.

After taking the Storage Soul Tool, Lin Fan immediately extended his spiritual power into it and scanned its contents.

There were quite a few things inside. More than half the space was filled with all sorts of strange Soul Tools. While these Soul Tools were far more advanced than those of this era, they were still much weaker when it came to combat.

For example, computers and Soul Tool cars were common in the era ten thousand years later, but they were merely everyday necessities.

Besides those Soul Tools, there were also quite a few Federal Credits inside, and the amount was rather considerable.

Leng Yaozhu was quite the little rich girl. As the Leng Family's heir and a member of the Spirit Pagoda, she naturally would not lack Federal Credits.

Unfortunately, this era still used Gold Soul Coins, so these were basically useless. Of course, if those Soul Tools were sold off, she could still become a rich woman.

Lin Fan continued looking and discovered quite a few books. After briefly scanning their covers, he found that most of them concerned mecha design.

Clearly, Leng Yaozhu was also a mecha designer.

These things were somewhat useful to Lin Fan. After all, in this era of Douluo Continent, neither humanoid Soul Tools nor armor had yet appeared. What he was currently learning was only within the scope of what this era could offer.

Aside from those things, the Storage Soul Tool also contained some rare metals. However, those rare metals existed in this era as well, so they did not hold much appeal for Lin Fan.

As for that Black-Rank Mecha, there was no second one.

That was normal. Who would be bored enough to stuff so many Black-Rank Mechas into their own Storage Soul Tool?

Those things were generally possessed in such quantities only by patrol units or military personnel. Ordinary people basically would not have them, and even if they did, they would usually not own more than one.

After briefly considering it, Lin Fan took out the few books on mecha design from the Storage Soul Tool.

Unfortunately, after the books on mecha design landed in his hands, they did not vanish from his grip as the Black-Rank Mecha had.

Lin Fan held the pages and waited for a moment, but nothing happened. A trace of disappointment flashed through his eyes.

It seemed that not everything from ten thousand years later could trigger his second martial soul. The Black-Rank Mecha had merely been a coincidence.

When Leng Yaozhu saw Lin Fan choose those books on mecha design, delight immediately appeared on her face, and she hurriedly asked,

"Lin Fan, do you want to study mecha design?"

"If so, I can teach you! I'm already a Level Five Mecha Designer. I may not be among the very best, but I can absolutely teach you the basics!"

Lin Fan could not help but laugh when he heard that, then nodded.

"Then sorry for the trouble."

Seeing that she could teach Lin Fan, Leng Yaozhu also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if she kept receiving Lin Fan's care without giving anything in return, she would feel undeserving of it.

"Likewise."

"Can I take out the other things and have a look?"

Lin Fan intended to try the other items.

"Of course."

Leng Yaozhu nodded with a smile.

Lin Fan tried the other items and found that none of them could produce the same effect as the Black-Rank Mecha.

From that day onward, Lin Fan set aside some time every day to learn mecha design from Leng Yaozhu, and Leng Yaozhu naturally taught him everything she knew.

Yet while teaching Lin Fan, Leng Yaozhu could not help but marvel. Lin Fan's talent truly was terrifying beyond belief. In merely one month, he had fully mastered all the knowledge Leng Yaozhu had taught him and successfully become a Level Five Mecha Designer just like her.

Not only that, Lin Fan had successfully designed the blueprints for his own first set of One-Word Battle Armor.

Naturally, Leng Yaozhu knew that Lin Fan's status as a Level-Nine Soul Engineer had helped as well. Still, these were things Lin Fan had never encountered before, yet he had mastered them so quickly. He was simply incredible.

The moment the complete blueprint took shape beneath Lin Fan's pen, he suddenly felt a peculiar power surge up within his body. It felt as though something deep inside him had quietly been activated.

His ability to control time... had grown stronger again.

Feeling that newly surging power within him, Lin Fan's thoughts shifted, and he instantly understood the reason.

So that was it. His time ability was indeed closely connected to things from ten thousand years later.

That earlier Black-Rank Mecha had merely been a catalyst, used to activate his second martial soul. To further enhance his abilities, he needed to establish a deeper connection with the technologies and things of ten thousand years later.

In other words, what he needed to do was accelerate the progress of this era.

Leng Yaozhu stood beside him, looking at the exquisite lines and structures on the blueprint, and could not help but exclaim in admiration.

"Lin Fan, you're amazing. This is the first time I've seen someone reach this level within a single month."

As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to remember something. She picked up a pen from the table and handed it to Lin Fan, saying with a smile,

"How about leaving your name on my blueprint? Consider it a memento. After all, this is the first work of a genius mecha designer like you."

Lin Fan looked into Leng Yaozhu's expectant eyes and did not refuse. Taking the pen, he casually signed his name in the lower-right corner of the blueprint.

Leng Yaozhu looked at the signature, satisfiedly put away the blueprint, and smiled broadly.

At that very moment, in the Leng Family hall ten thousand years later, the Head of the Leng Family sat in the seat of honor, marveling over Lin Fan's talent and unconsciously thinking even more highly of that young man.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside. A servant quickly entered, his face full of shock.

"Family Head! Something happened!"

The Head of the Leng Family frowned slightly and asked,

"What could make you so flustered?"

"In the storage room... a blueprint suddenly appeared!"

Hearing this, the Head of the Leng Family was dumbfounded.

"You're making such a fuss over one extra blueprint? What kind of behavior is this?"

"Family Head, please look!"

The servant also knew that this could not be explained in just a few words, so he directly displayed the blueprint before the Head of the Leng Family.

The Head of the Leng Family was dumbfounded as well, because this was none other than Lin Fan's blueprint, with the words "Lin Fan" written in the lower-right corner.

But... how had this thing appeared in the Leng Family?
