As the final cut fell, the lines of the Core Array formed a complete whole, carved end to end across the polygonal piece of rare metal.
Su Yuan set down the engraving knife, and a smile finally appeared on his solemn, focused face.
The Core Array was finished. Next came testing.
As he injected Soul Power, the lines on the Core Array lit up one after another, finally forming a complete Soul Power circuit with a distinct function and illuminating the entire Core Array.
The level-one Explosive Core Array was complete.
Its overall margin of error was no greater than five percent, its operating efficiency was excellent, and its Soul Power loss during operation was extremely low. Even a Level 3 Soul Engineer could, at best, achieve this standard.
This was the third level-one Core Array Su Yuan had learned. The first two were Energy Gathering and acceleration. All three were standard arrays for offensive Soul Tools, capable of giving Soul Power different properties.
Energy Gathering compressed Soul Power, acceleration improved its efficiency, and explosion gave
