Silicon-Based Soul Power Crystal Blocks and Nickel-Titanium Memory Alloy: Forging a Soul Bone by Hand!

After fully deciphering the three core layers of the Soul Bone,

Qin Yun's eyes flashed. Without hesitation, he summoned his Periodic Table of Elements Martial Soul and began an unprecedented experiment in forging an Artificial Soul Bone.

No one on Douluo Continent had ever ventured into this field.

With his unique Martial Soul ability, Qin Yun took the first step toward overturning the rules of the world.

He steadied his breathing and focused completely on the task.

The first step was to build the Soul Bone's basic skeletal framework.

It was also the simplest, most fundamental step in the entire forging process.

Following the core composition of biological bone,

Qin Yun precisely controlled three basic elements—calcium, phosphorus, and oxygen—layering and bonding them in an orderly fashion to replicate the bone foundation of a natural Soul Bone.

Its contours, density, and texture perfectly matched those of the Ten Thousand Year Left Leg Soul Bone.

The framework took shape, regular and flawless.

With the basic framework complete, he moved to the second step, which was far more difficult.

Forming the Soul Power crystal layer.

The key to a Soul Bone's ability to store Soul Power, withstand tremendous force, and sustain its power was not the soul beast's bone itself. It was the extraordinarily dense Soul Power crystals attached to it.

These special crystals could hold and seal Soul Power. They were the Soul Bone's energy core.

And the substance underlying those crystals was a flawless silicon dioxide (SiO₂) lattice.

Compared with assembling basic elements, forming the crystals demanded far more precise proportions.

Qin Yun maintained his focus throughout, purifying the elements and compressing them into crystals bit by bit.

After expending immense mental effort to strengthen the crystal structure, he finally coated the bone foundation with a clear, resilient Soul Power crystal layer.

It perfectly replicated a natural Soul Bone's energy storage and defensive properties.

But the final step was the hardest—and the very heart of a Soul Bone.

The Soul Skill!

A natural Soul Bone's Soul Skill came from the soul beast's innate abilities, soul fragments, and spiritual imprint. It was an inherent power unique to living beings, impossible to reproduce through ordinary elements.

After much thought, Qin Yun chose Nickel-Titanium Memory Alloy to replace a natural Soul Bone's spiritual factor layer.

Nickel-Titanium Memory Alloy possessed unique shape-memory and energy-memory properties.

It could precisely capture, store, and reproduce a fixed form of energy, making it ideally suited to simulating a Soul Skill.

With the plan settled,

Qin Yun found Ning Rongrong and said, "Rongrong, sorry for the trouble, but could you use one of your support Soul Skills? I need it for something."

Though puzzled, Ning Rongrong trusted Qin Yun without reservation.

She immediately summoned her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

"Seven Treasures Have Names: First, Strength!"

Qin Yun immediately activated his Martial Soul and guided a thin sheet of Nickel-Titanium Memory Alloy he had already forged. It captured the support Soul Skill's energy fluctuations with precision, recorded and sealed them in full, and successfully received the fledgling Soul Skill.

Over the next several days,

Qin Yun shut himself away, working day and night to refine the bond between the three layers.

At last, a complete new Artificial Soul Bone took shape in his hands.

The Artificial Soul Bone gleamed with a soft, restrained luster, its surface fine and firm.

Its quality, color, and hardness were almost indistinguishable from those of the worn natural Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.

It perfectly replicated the appearance and basic physical properties of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.

But Qin Yun knew it had one fatal flaw he could not ignore.

The Nickel-Titanium Memory Alloy had a limit to how much energy it could bear.

Though it could perfectly record and simulate a Soul Skill, it could not sustain that skill indefinitely like the spiritual essence of a natural Soul Bone.

Once the Soul Skill had been used more than five thousand times,

the alloy's internal energy-memory structure would suffer mounting damage and gradually break down.

Eventually, it would fail completely, rendering the Soul Skill useless.

In short, the Artificial Soul Bone's physical strength, Soul Power storage, and basic quality met the highest standards of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. Only the Soul Skill's limited lifespan fell short, preventing indefinite use.

Even so, Qin Yun understood its staggering value.

Soul Bones were so rare on Douluo Continent that countless soul masters went their entire lives without ever seeing one.

Even an Artificial Soul Bone with a limit on its uses would be a treasure countless soul masters fought to obtain. Finding buyers would never be a problem.

Qin Yun had already settled on a way to improve it.

The current shortcoming existed only because he had not unlocked enough of his Martial Soul.

Nickel-Titanium Alloy was merely a low-end Memory Alloy. Once he unlocked elements from the fifth and sixth periods of the Periodic Table of Elements,

he could use Zirconium-Based Material or add precious metals to purify and synthesize a new Memory Alloy. Its energy tolerance and memory stability would improve by leaps and bounds, breaking through the current limit on its lifespan.

Then he could forge a perfect Artificial Soul Bone.

With his mind made up, Qin Yun put away the Artificial Soul Bone and went straight to the Sect Master's Hall to find Ning Fengzhi. It was time to reveal what he had achieved.

He knew there was no need to hide too much of his ability within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The stronger the cards he showed, the greater his value.

Ning Fengzhi and the two Titled Douluo would value him all the more and support him wholeheartedly.

They would come to see him as the sect's sole future pillar, binding their interests closely to his.

Entering the hall, Qin Yun walked straight up to Ning Fengzhi and took out the newly forged Artificial Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.

"Uncle Ning, take a look. What do you think of this Soul Bone?"

Ning Fengzhi looked down and froze.

Judging by its color, texture, and Soul Power fluctuations, it was unquestionably on the level of a top-grade Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.

It was in even better condition than the one he had purchased at great expense.

He spoke at once, shock and confusion filling his voice.

"Xiao Qin! Where did you get this Soul Bone?"

"It's of exceptional quality and completely intact—far better than the one I gave you!"

A Soul Bone's internal Soul Skill could not be examined until it fused with a soul master.

From its appearance alone, there was no way to spot a flaw.

Naturally, Ning Fengzhi could not detect the Artificial Soul Bone's limited lifespan.

Everyone on Douluo Continent knew the rule: Soul Bones could only come from fallen soul beasts.

But Qin Yun had not even left the sect recently.

Qin Yun smiled faintly and answered without concealing anything.

"Uncle Ning, this Soul Bone didn't come from hunting a soul beast. I synthesized it myself using my Martial Soul ability."

The words struck Ning Fengzhi like a thunderclap. He went blank, his mind empty.

Qin Yun's extraordinary talent and exclusive Hidden Weapons had already made Ning Fengzhi value him immensely.

But the words "synthesized a Soul Bone" overturned everything he had believed for decades.

However astonishing the Hidden Weapons were, they were still forged objects.

Creating a Soul Bone by hand, though, was a miracle that defied the laws of heaven and earth!

Ning Fengzhi could only stare in shock.

Just what kind of terrifying genius had his daughter brought home?

After a long moment, Ning Fengzhi forced down the turmoil in his heart.

He immediately grasped how vital it was to keep this secret. His expression turned grave as he spoke.

"This would shake the world. It overturns everything the continent knows!"

"From this day forward, only you, me, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo may know about Artificial Soul Bones. Not a word can get out!"

If the secret leaked,

Qin Yun would become a target coveted by everyone on Douluo Continent, Spirit Hall, and the Two Great Empires.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be in danger as well.
