"Little Jing and I settled on Ultimate Metal as the first-generation pilot, then made some adjustments to the Humanoid Soul Tool. We changed the original mental-link control scheme and added a Soul Guidance Core Array that strengthened elemental connections, reducing the burden on you, its pilot."
Kong Deming gazed at the fifteen-meter-tall metal giant and sighed. "Xiao Qing, let your teacher speak frankly. Just like in the Douluo Three Kingdoms, most people in the Sun Moon Empire regard Evil Soul Masters as raging floods and savage beasts. They vehemently oppose working with such wicked heretics, so the emperor and his son chose to act first and report afterward rather than consult the empire's senior officials.
"Mingde Hall researched Humanoid Soul Tools precisely to escape the Holy Spirit Cult's restraints. We wanted to give Soul Engineers with limited talent the combat strength of Titled Douluos, Super Douluos, or even Limit Douluos, so that one day we could rise against the Holy Spirit Cult together and eradicate those perpetrators of every conceivable evil.
"Come, try this creation into which Mingde Hall has poured its heart and blood."
Hearing this, Lin Qing did not rush to take the controls. His silver-gray eyes took on a deep, dark golden hue as his External Soul Bone, the Formless Demon Eye, activated Spiritual Detection to scan the metal giant before him.
Tens of thousands of Soul Guidance Arrays flooded his mind. Spiritual Detection truly was a divine support skill, helping Lin Qing quickly understand every detail of the Humanoid Soul Tool.
The Humanoid Soul Tool represented Mingde Hall's highest achievement in Soul Tool research. Though it was far from perfect, lacked an offensive Soul Tool capable of delivering a decisive blow, and had an exceptionally cumbersome-looking metal body, it was the crystallization of the empire's knowledge.
