Within the membrane of light, everything fell quiet, as though they were inside a room. Even the sound of the wind had vanished.
"Everyone, are you comfortable?"
Jing Hongchen's voice passed into the membrane from outside.
Qian Duoduo nodded and praised it sincerely. "The ingenuity of this flying soul tool takes my breath away. I never imagined your academy's research had already reached such heights."
"It's still far from enough," Jing Hongchen said modestly. "Only when I, its operator, can stay inside this membrane with you will we have achieved something."
"This soul tool consumed a great deal of precious material. More importantly, we built it for research."
"Our goal at Mingdetang is to develop a flying soul tool made from ordinary metals that can carry multiple people over long distances without consuming too much soul power."
"In this field, your academy's new-style flying soul tool, which achieved a technological breakthrough two years ago, has taken you further than us."
Qian Duoduo understood that Jing Hongchen's modesty was merely a veneer. He was actually making a show of strength.
After swallowing two bitter losses earlier, Jing Hongchen had simply brought out the Sun Moon Empire's most cutting-edge flying soul tool technology.
The technology in this soul tool was so astonishingly complex that even Qian Duoduo, a Level 8 Soul Engineer, was like a raw recruit, completely unable to grasp its technical details.
Qian Duoduo secretly sighed.
He had to admit that this one flying soul tool alone was already beyond his understanding.
Fortunately, Shrek still had a chance to catch up.
Not only did Chen Ping's generation boast a succession of brilliant talents in the Soul Tool Department, but the academy had also increased the resources allocated to it.
On top of that, Shrek now controlled several rare metal veins.
