Chapter 55: Level 1 Core Array! (First update!)

Hu-hu~ Crackle~

The sound of flames roasting metal, the cutting sound of the Qingyan Carving Knife passing through the core metal, sparks flying everywhere.

Under the concentration of powerful spiritual power, the array eye was soon formed, and the carving knife in his hand spun.

Beautiful, slender soul lines appeared one after another, and soon the fist-sized core metal was filled with dense soul lines.

Where the soul lines stopped, dot arrays were formed. Xu Nian'an walked to the fourth step, which was also one of the most difficult points of the core array: carving runes.

As metal shavings flew, time passed bit by bit. Xu Nian'an's hands gradually felt numb, but his spirit became hotter and more excited.

Slowly, Xu Nian'an gradually felt that the movements of his hands could no longer keep up with his spiritual concentration.

"No... just a little bit, just a little bit more and it will be finished."

Xu Nian'an gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing a determined look.

Creak~ Creak~

As the final knife fell, the rune was formed, and under the injection of soul power, it shone with blue brilliance.

It's done!

Hu!

Xu Nian'an let out a long breath. He had carved the rune, but unfortunately... unfortunately, he probably no longer had the ability to complete that final step.

At this moment, Xu Nian'an's right hand was bright red, with cuts from the metal, and of course, burns from the bottom of the Qingyan Carving Knife.

After completing the carving of the rune, Xu Nian'an's hands trembled constantly.

He channeled his soul power, martial soul possessed, and although his right hand was trembling constantly, he still raised the carving knife again.

With Xu Nian'an's spiritual power, it was enough to easily complete the carving of a level 1 core array, but unfortunately, Xu Nian'an lacked experience.

This was his first time making one, and now his hands could no longer hold on. Even in the state of martial soul possession, his hands were shaking significantly.

Xu Nian'an picked up the Qingyan Carving Knife several times, wanting to complete the final part of the carving: sealing the array edge.

Unfortunately, the significant swaying of his arm made it impossible for him to complete the task.

Unknowingly, the sky outside the window darkened, and two more people appeared behind Xu Nian'an.

The three of them had solemn expressions.

"Too... too strong. Dean Xian, are you sure this is his first time attempting to carve a core array?"

"It only took less than two and a half hours from array eye, soul line, dot array, to rune?"

Fan Yu looked at Xu Nian'an, who was about to seal the array edge, his eyes filled with continuous surprise.

"Haha~ Hahaha~ Not bad, really not bad! It was worth it to snatch half from that stingy Yan Shaozhe!"

"Worth it! Worth it!"

Facing Qian Duoduo's loud voice, Xian Lin'er's cold eyes looked over.

"If you dare to make another sound to disturb my disciple, I guarantee I will kick you out!"

Hearing this, Qian Duoduo instantly covered his mouth.

"Haha, wife, you're right, I'll shut up, I'll shut up."

Xu Nian'an didn't notice the interlude behind him, because at this moment, all his attention was on the core array in his hand that was about to be completed.

He picked up the carving knife several times, but the degree of shaking made it impossible for Xu Nian'an to make a move.

However, not long after, Xu Nian'an felt a cool sensation suddenly coming from the cyan part of the Qingyan Carving Knife.

Not long after, Xu Nian'an could clearly perceive that his heart was calmed, and soon his right hand also calmed down.

The green light shone brightly.

After Xu Nian'an found that his right hand was no longer shaking, he took advantage of this opportunity to quickly carve the array edge.

In fact, the array edge was the easiest of the five major core array points to do; it was just to wrap and seal the previously carved array eye, soul lines, dot array, and runes together.

It was just that Xu Nian'an really couldn't hold on before, and couldn't even hold the carving knife steadily, so he couldn't make the move for a long time.

Now that the injury on his hand was temporarily suppressed, Xu Nian'an took the opportunity to draw it well.

Hum~

The moment the core array on his hand was drawn, Xu Nian'an felt a wonderful feeling born.

Soul power was injected into the core array in his hand, and instantly it flashed with blue light.

Before long, the array was activated, and it began to hum and tremble.

"Hu~"

"Completed, I finally did it!"

"Level 1 core array!"

Looking at the metal flashing with blue light in his hand, to be honest, it would be a lie to say Xu Nian'an wasn't excited.

Although with his financial resources, he could easily buy a hundred or eighty pieces, but... this was something he made with his own hands.

The feeling was naturally different.

Whoosh~

With a sound of breaking through the air, the core array in Xu Nian'an's hand suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, a figure appeared in front of Xu Nian'an: a green long skirt, green long hair tied into short hair, and green eyes staring tightly at the level 1 core array in his hand.

"Really... really!"

As the light in Xian Lin'er's eyes grew brighter, she also gradually began to get excited.

"That's great, you really did it!"

"Mwah!"

Xian Lin'er stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around Xu Nian'an's neck, and kissed him heavily on the face!

【Ding, congratulations to the host, Goddess Xian Lin'er is shocked by your talent, favorability increased by one!】

【Congratulations to the host, spiritual power increased by one, shaping increased by one! Molding increased by one! Quenching increased by one! Polishing proficiency increased by one...】

【Ding, congratulations to the host, Goddess Xian Lin'er is shocked by your talent, favorability increased by one!】

【Congratulations to the host, spiritual power, shaping, molding, quenching... proficiency increased by one!】

【Goddess Xian Lin'er: Favorability five!】

"Teacher."

Seeing this scene, Qian Duoduo's eyes widened like copper bells.

No... it's been so many years, even I haven't had this treatment, why... why this kid.

"Wife... I, I want it too!"

Hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Xian Lin'er's gaze instantly looked over.

"Get out!"

"If you can also carve a complete level 1 core array within three hours on your first carving, I can kiss you too."

"Furthermore, Nian'an is my disciple, so what if I kiss him? Do you have an opinion?"

【Ding, congratulations to the host, Goddess Xian Lin'er feels proud to have accepted you as a disciple, favorability increased by one!】

【Ding, congratulations to the host, Goddess Xian Lin'er's favorability toward the host has reached ten!】

【Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining Goddess Xian Lin'er's gift, Level 1 Soul Engineer Technology Gift Pack!】

Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Xu Nian'an instantly widened his eyes.

Although he succeeded in carving a level 1 core array on his first try, Xu Nian'an knew.

This was all because Electrolux had opened up a spiritual sea for him, and he only managed to do it after his spiritual power reached the Soul Saint level.

That's right, he only managed to do it; because if it weren't for the Qingyan Carving Knife, Xu Nian'an estimated he wouldn't necessarily have succeeded in carving it.

"It's normal to feel uncomfortable when carving a core array for the first time; you'll adapt after doing it slowly in the future."

Xian Lin'er looked at Xu Nian'an, personally tied bandages on his hands, her eyes full of love; this was simply her treasure.

Beside him, Qian Duoduo was full of jealousy.

"Teacher, it's getting late, I should go back."

After speaking, Xu Nian'an paused, his right storage ring flashed, and a broken soul tool appeared.

"By the way, Teacher, can our Soul Guidance Department repair this soul tool?"

Returning home full of exhaustion, he opened the door.

Ow-ow-ow~

Er Gou pounced on him instantly.

Actually, before the soul fight, Xu Nian'an had sent Er Gou back. Inside the room, there was also a woman with long red hair, a tall figure, and bare feet stepping on the ground.

"Ma Xiaotao... Senior Sister!"

Hearing Xu Nian'an's address, Ma Xiaotao's eyes lit up.

"I thought you would still call me Senior Sister; I really didn't expect that in just one day, my little junior brother has become my little junior brother."

After washing up exhaustedly, Xu Nian'an had just walked out of the bathroom when he felt dizzy.

Dazed, he walked to the sofa and fell asleep before he could even change his pajamas.
