How could Xuan Ziwen not be shocked by Jiang Hai's words? Using the human body as a soul tool's core component, then combining it with a metal exoskeleton to create a soul tool-what a mad idea! Yet the implications beneath that madness were beyond even Xuan Ziwen's imagination.
At lower levels, soul engineers held a considerable advantage over soul masters of the same level, but only when their talents were comparable. In reality, against the outstanding geniuses from Shrek Academy, the Soul Tool Department lost far more often than it won.
Once soul masters reached level 70 and gained their Martial Soul Avatars, their abilities underwent a qualitative transformation. At that point, the gap in combat power between soul engineers and soul masters only widened. Things did not improve until the Titled Douluo stage, but how many Level 9 Soul Engineers were there?
Across the entire Sun Moon Empire, the number of Level 9 Soul Engineers had never exceeded ten.
If the Lifebound Soul Tool Jiang Hai was researching truly succeeded, it might reverse that trend.
From the blueprint Jiang Hai had shown him, Xuan Ziwen had already seen that this approach was feasible.
After arriving at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Jiang Hai had stunned everyone when he earned admission to the Illustrious Virtue Hall, then kept to himself and seldom ventured out. Those who had initially paid attention to him gradually lost interest.
Only Xuan Ziwen remained on fairly good terms with Jiang Hai and knew that this genius soul engineer, younger than himself, truly had substance.
Even so, Xuan Ziwen had never expected Jiang Hai to present him with such an enormous surprise after just over a year.
A Lifebound Soul Tool built around the human body...
Xuan Ziwen's blood began to burn with excitement
