Gradually, the images playing across the mirror reached their end.
Watching himself craft a soul tool from a spectator's perspective was indeed a valuable experience for Jiang Hai. But he also knew very well that, with his current foundation, Level 7 Soul Engineer was his limit. He still had much to learn before he could create a truly original level 7 soul tool.
Although Jiang Hai had obtained the blueprints for two top-tier soul tools, Time's Second Hand and the Four Symbols Radiance Armor, the true foundation of his soul tool expertise remained all the books he had encountered in the library during his year at Shrek Academy. With the help of the flame of civilization and the Glazed Heart Mirror, he had thoroughly digested every piece of knowledge in those books. That was precisely how he had achieved what he had today.
But that had only been the library of the Shrek Academy Soul Tool Department's Outer Court. Bringing Jiang Hai to his current level was already the limit of that knowledge. Without acquiring new knowledge, he might still reach the level of a Level 8 Soul Engineer someday through the Four Symbols Radiance Armor, but that day would undoubtedly lie far in the future. Besides, even among Level 8 Soul Engineers, the differences in ability could be enormous.
