Chapter 316: Sun-Moon Empire, Holy Spirit Cult 1
"""
"A Titled Douluo without a soul bone? That’s really scraping the bottom of the barrel!" Xiaowu couldn’t help but spit out a remark.
"Chu Qin, what’s this?" Hulena and Qian Renxue asked in unison, looking at the wand in Chu Qin’s hand.
Chu Qin did not answer immediately. He merely channeled some soul power into the wand, and in an instant, a protective barrier visible to the naked eye formed around Chu Qin and the girls!
"Is this... a soul bone?" Ning Rongrong asked in surprise.
"It’s not a soul bone, it’s a soul tool!" Chu Qin said with a light smile, "This soul tool is similar to the Sphere of Light I gave to Uncle Ning. It’s a defensive type of soul tool! However, this one is even stronger. With my soul power, this shield around us can at least withstand an attack from a Titled Douluo! Of course, its strength is determined by the soul power used. If you, Ning Rongrong, a Soul King, were to use it, deflecting a Soul Sage’s attack should be no problem!"
"So powerful!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed excitedly, "Then, can you give it to me..."
Ning Rongrong stopped her words mid-sentence and shook her head, "Or, let’s give it to Sister Ling Ling. She’s a pure healing system Soul Master and needs it more than I do!"
"Ah... Chu Qin, just give it to Rongrong!" Ye Lingling quickly shook her head, "I have the protection of the Nine Great Ones. I shouldn’t need it!"
"But I have the protection of Spirit Empress Sister too. Sister Ling Ling, you should take it!" Ning Rongrong insisted.
"Well, let’s search the ship and see if there are any other soul tools. If possible, we’ll give one to each of you, Ning Rongrong and Ling Ling!" Chu Qin said with a helpless smile.
"Okay!"
Following that, Chu Qin and the others boarded the Ironclad Giant Ship to search it.
Without searching, they had no idea, but upon looking, they were startled. Inside the cabin, there were many chilling white bones, and some women who had not been dead for long, their bodies covered with numerous scars, obviously tortured to death!
Instantly, Chu Qin and the girls decided that these people’s deaths were too simple!
Walking through the cabin, they finally arrived in front of a steel-cast door. Without a second word, Chu Qin shattered the iron door. The scene before them took their breath away!
This was a room full of technological sense, surrounded by steel, machinery, and gears!
There were also various blueprints and some strange mechanical gadgets on top!
"Could this be where soul tools are made?" Su Jin exclaimed.
"Probably not!" Chu Qin shook his head, "The conditions for making soul tools are very strict. This small space simply isn’t enough for production. I think this must be the control room of the soul guidance giant ship!"
"The entire ship is a soul tool? That’s too unimaginable!" Zhu Zhuyun said, "Soul tools do exist in Soul Land, but those are relics passed down from ancient times. The manufacturing of soul tools had long been lost. I never expected that the people from the Sun-Moon Empire could make such a huge soul guidance warship!"
"If these warships could be mass-produced, then our strength in the Tiandou Empire would surely rise to another level!" Xue Ke said, excited.
"Ke’er, it’s not that easy!" Chu Qin surveyed his surroundings and shook his head, "These materials can’t be found in Soul Land! To make a similar soul guidance warship, we would probably have to go to Sun Moon Land!"
"So where is this Sun Moon Land?" Xue Ke asked curiously.
"Sister Ke’er, didn’t that old man just say?" Qian Renxue smiled, "The Sun-Moon Empire is a year’s distance from here!"
Chu Qin smiled faintly. He had no interest in the Sun-Moon Empire, but if the System required him to execute a Goddess Mission there, he would definitely go!
And experience firsthand the exotic style of the girls there!
"Eh, what’s this?" At that moment, Wang Qiu’er spotted a red metal button, lifted the transparent glass cover outside of it, and pressed down on it!
"Apocalypse Number, self-destruct, warning system activated! The warship will self-destruct in three minutes!"
"""
"Ah, self-destruction!" Wang Qiu’er exclaimed with her beautiful eyes wide open!
"Quick, let’s go!"
Chu Qin’s brows furrowed slightly, then he drew out the Asura God Sword and shattered the cockpit’s canopy!
Following that, the women unfolded their Wings of Flight, one after another, and flew out of the gap, escaping the soul-guided warship!
Soon, Chu Qin and his group returned to the sailboat and steered it to a position farther away from the soul-guided warship!
At that moment, with a thunderous explosion, the entire soul-guided warship burst apart like a bomb!
The range of the explosion was enormous, causing the sea within dozens of miles to become turbulent, unleashing a tsunami. Chu Qin quickly summoned his Elemental Dragon Body, managing to halt the tsunami!
The group looked at the warship now reduced to splinters and dust, with varied expressions on their faces!
"I’m sorry, Brother Chu Qin, I’ve caused trouble!" Wang Qiu’er said, filled with guilt.
"It doesn’t matter, that thing wasn’t very useful anyway!" Chu Qin said gently, stroking Wang Qiu’er’s head.
"It’s just a pity, I was planning to bring it back to the Tiandou Empire for research," Qian Renxue sighed lightly. She believed that mastery of soul technology would bring about a qualitative leap in strength, whether for the Tiandou Empire or the Martial Soul Hall!
"I’m sorry, Sister Xue!" Wang Qiu’er said tearfully upon hearing this.
"Qiu’er, it’s not like that, nobody is blaming you!" Qian Renxue realized her mistake and quickly comforted her gently, "Just like what Chu Qin said before, we don’t have the materials for such a soul-guided warship in Soul Land, and moreover, we have no way to transport it back. It would have been of no use anyway!"
"Hmm, Qiu’er, don’t blame yourself!" Chu Qin said softly, touching her cheek.
"Mm-hmm!" Wang Qiu’er nodded in response.
The voyage that followed went smoothly, and soon night fell.
Tonight, the sky was clear and cloudless, washed in moonlight that wrapped the shimmering sea surface in a faint silver glow!
The sailboat, gliding atop this surface and parting the twinkling ripples, headed forward, its passage remarkably soothing and delightful!
At this moment, within Chu Qin’s cabin.
In his hands, he held the Cane Soul Guidance Device that he had wrested from the hands of Apocalypse, and because they couldn’t agree on what to do with it, Chu Qin had not yet given it to Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling.
He thought, if he could study it for a while and make any progress, that would be excellent!
However, even Chu Qin, without any foundation, failed to gain any useful information about manufacturing soul tools after a long day of research!
"Sigh!" Chu Qin let out a light sigh. He was thinking that if he had been a bit more serious in his former life, like winning a Nobel Prize in Physics before crossing over, the weapons he could create would definitely not be inferior to soul tools.
Of course, even without soul tools, Chu Qin wasn’t too regretful.
"Chu Qin, what’s wrong? Why are you sighing!" Just then, Xiaowu’s voice sounded. Xiaowu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang walked into the cabin from outside.
"It’s nothing, just studying the soul tool," Chu Qin said with a light smile, looking up, "Why, is it your turn today..."
Chu Qin hadn’t finished speaking when he was suddenly stunned by the sight before him.
Xiaowu and the three other girls had simultaneously dressed up for cosplay!
