Although the material in An Analysis of Level 1 Soul Tool Arrays was elementary, it was immensely practical-a must-read for any aspiring soul engineer. Yet it was rarely borrowed.
For most novice soul engineers, carving out a core array, crafting an outer shell, and assembling the two was enough to produce a soul tool. Learning soul guidance arrays was primarily a matter of practice. Once they understood an array's purpose, they only needed to copy it stroke for stroke onto a suitable material to create a usable array. That process required repeated attempts and increasingly precise control of their strength. Studying the meaning behind every stroke seemed pointless to them. Moreover, the book's explanations were extremely involved, and some passages touched upon profoundly advanced knowledge, leaving those with insufficient comprehension lost in a fog. That was probably why so few people borrowed it!

He was a true genius in soul engineering, a future Level 9 Soul Engineer, and the founding architect of the Tang Sect's soul tools, having created and improved many powerful soul tools.
No wonder. Only a genius soul engineer like him could write such an outstanding book on the fundamentals of soul guidance theory. Sadly, this exceptional work had become a pearl buried in dust.
Jiang Hai shook his head. As the divine fire continued burning and the Glazed Heart Mirror appeared, his intellect reached its peak. His senses became keen,
