Exchange research results?
Such transactions were not uncommon among Advanced Soul Engineers, but they only took place between Soul Engineers with close ties.
Every Soul Engineer had limited energy and could only research so many fields, but Soul Tools did not exist in isolation. Many Soul Tools could involve numerous fields.
Under these circumstances, it was perfectly normal to help one another craft Soul Tools, or even exchange research results, provided neither party divulged the fruits of their core research.
Xuan Ziwen's earlier question had clearly been an attempt to obtain Jiang Hai's research into Close-Combat Soul Tools.
Xuan Ziwen said, "I can exchange my own results for yours, including the Level 8 Remote Surveillance Soul Tool I'm currently researching!"
Jiang Hai fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Teacher Xuan, you want to make this exchange on behalf of your student, don't you?"
As a research-oriented Soul Engineer, Xuan Ziwen knew something about everything, but his main research focus remained the Level 8 Remote Surveillance Soul Tool he had mentioned, and his goal was to develop Civilian Soul Tools.
Close-Combat Soul Tools, on the other hand, were in some respects designed entirely to serve Soul Masters. Their primary users were practical-control Soul Engineers like Nana, who did not study Soul Tool manufacturing, or pure Soul Masters.
From this, it was not difficult to deduce that Huo Yuhao was the reason Xuan Ziwen had proposed the exchange. Huo Yuhao had chosen to become a mid- to close-range combat Soul Engineer, and Close-Combat Soul Tools were one of the most important fields of research for that path.
Xuan Ziwen remained silent.
Jiang Hai asked curiously, "Teacher Xuan, could you tell me why you're doing this? Does an exchange student from Shrek Academy really have such a powerful appeal that you'd rather
