Chapter 61: You and I Are Both Youthful Souls in This World

Although the other students were also curious about this unusual behavior from Ji Juechen.

But given the habits of that madman Ji Juechen, if anyone dared to meddle, nine times out of ten they would be invited to serve as a sparring partner.

Bringing Ji Juechen to the laboratory, Ju Zi was still busy engraving a Soul Guidance Array inside.

After a period of study, Ju Zi had now officially become a Level 4 Soul Engineer. To Su Yu, this was not a surprising matter.

Because Ju Zi had already been at the peak of Level 3 before; if she hadn't broken through in these past half a month, one could only say that Xuan Ziwen's judgment was indeed flawed.

"Sister Ju Zi, can you help me make a Flying Soul Guidance Device?" Su Yu walked toward Ju Zi and handed the blueprint to her.

Looking at the blueprint in her hand, Ju Zi frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Hmm, it's not impossible, but..."

Watching Ju Zi's expression, Su Yu knew it would be a miracle if there weren't any conditions; sure enough, Ju Zi began to state her demands.

"This is a Level 4 Flying Soul Guidance Device, after all. Luo Yu, it's not very nice of you to try and get something for nothing. My conditions aren't high: you prepare the materials yourself, and besides, you'll cover my meals for a week."

As she spoke, she walked toward Su Yu and reached out to pinch his slightly youthful cheeks; she seemed to have a particular fondness for cheek-pinching.

"That's no problem either, but Sister Ju Zi, could you please let go of your hand first? It hurts..." Su Yu moved Ju Zi's slender fingers away from his face.

Only then did Ju Zi notice Ji Juechen behind Su Yu. The person before her was like a drawn sword; just by making eye contact with him, Ju Zi felt her eyes stinging with pain.

"Understood. I'll give you the Soul Guidance Device in a few days, but I have a question I want to ask you."

Taking the blueprint Su Yu handed over, Ju Zi's expression was somewhat complex.

With such intricate blueprints and designs, in her understanding, a child could not possibly have such design capability, because the complexity of this blueprint was such that even she, a Level 4 Soul Engineer, found it somewhat difficult to manufacture.

But as a Soul Engineer, her intuition told her that this Soul Guidance Device was definitely only a part, and the subsequent parts should be integrated with the Soul Guidance Device.

Looking at Ju Zi's slightly complex expression, Su Yu roughly guessed what she was thinking. In order not to arouse Ju Zi's suspicion, he naturally could not admit that this drawing was designed by himself.

"Sister Ju Zi, ask whatever you want. I still have to ask Brother Ji for advice on cultivation matters later." Su Yu wanted to leave this place because he firmly believed that saying too much leads to mistakes.

Moreover, Ju Zi was not someone easy to fool; just by her keen sixth sense alone, she would definitely be able to feel that something was wrong.

Placing the blueprint in her hand in front of Su Yu, Ju Zi pointed at the drawing and asked, "From what I know of you, this drawing absolutely cannot have been designed by you. Even if it were designed by you, someone must have helped you. Tell me, where did this blueprint come from?"

"Sister Ju Zi, as expected of Sister Ju Zi, you're truly amazing! You even discovered this. Actually, this blueprint wasn't designed by me. When I wanted to design a Flying Soul Guidance Device suitable for myself, I went to the library and flipped through a lot of materials. In the end, I felt this design was very suitable for me, so I used it."

The only explanation Su Yu could give for now was that the design came from the library of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.

In reality, such a thing was actually possible; after all, the library of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy had plenty of similar blueprints.

After leaving the laboratory, Ji Juechen also bid farewell to Su Yu. Now, the design of the Stereo Maneuvering Gear could basically be said to be largely complete; everything was ready, only the east wind was lacking.

What was this east wind?

This is not some "East Wind Express," so those of you with dirty minds, go reflect on yourselves.

The east wind is Ju Zi's Soul Guidance Device. As long as Ju Zi finishes making the Soul Guidance Device, the Stereo Maneuvering Gear can basically be declared complete.

Originally, Su Yu was still struggling with who to let perform the experiments, but Ji Juechen appeared, so the test personnel and equipment were all ready. Now, it was time for the Stereo Maneuvering Gear to emerge.

Actually, Su Yu's design was very simple. The only difficult part, the Flying Soul Guidance Device, was something he decided not to handle himself after careful consideration.

Instead, he handed the Soul Guidance Device to Ju Zi to manufacture. After all, Ju Zi was not a rookie like him who had just reached Level 3. With such a great helper, even if he suffered a little loss, it was still better than burying his head in hard work and ending up exhausted without accomplishing anything.

After shrinking the volume of the Flying Hook Claw, Su Yu equipped it with a sufficiently long, specially-made composite metal rope on the base.

Through a trigger device fixed on the wrist, he controlled the Soul Guidance Array to link the internal mechanism of the Flying Hook Claw, causing it to open and fix itself after being shot and hitting a target, then retracting the composite metal rope to move himself rapidly in the direction the Flying Hook Claw hit.

Through the Soul Guidance Array on the right wrist triggered by soul power, he triggered the Hidden Weapon mechanism again to retract the hook claw.

The left hand fires to move, the right hand retracts the hook claw to prepare for another launch. The devices on both hands do not need active manipulation; they only need to be injected with soul power to be activated.

Did you think this was all that Su Yu designed?

After the volume of the Flying Hook Claw was reduced, it could be perfectly integrated into the Flying Soul Guidance Device.

General Flying Soul Guidance Devices are on the back, some are close to the shoulders, but Su Yu's Flying Soul Guidance Device has Soul Guidance Thrusters for acceleration at the waist, and a pair of wings, one meter each on the left and right, on the back.

Su Yu's original intention was not just for instantaneous acceleration, but to control direction through the Flying Soul Guidance Device on the basis of instantaneous acceleration, thereby adapting to various complex terrains. Otherwise, if it were just for instantaneous acceleration, other Soul Guidance Devices could fully suffice.

Only by combining the two can the maximum effect be achieved.

This is also why Ju Zi had such great doubts about Su Yu after seeing that design drawing.

If Su Yu hadn't reduced the design difficulty of the Soul Guidance Device, its manufacture would definitely not be a Level 4 Soul Guidance Device; it might even be Level 5 or Level 6.

Just like the Silent Sleeve Arrow "puls" version he forged back then, the exquisite level of its craftsmanship could already reach Level 5.

If he were to make the Zhuge Divine Crossbow later, Su Yu knew that it would definitely not be comparable to a Level 5, and it might even reach the level of Level 6.

Most of the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons rely on the triggering of mechanisms, but as long as it is a mechanism, the power it can trigger is extremely limited, so Hidden Weapons can only be Hidden Weapons.

However, if the triggering method of the mechanism is transformed into the triggering device of a Soul Guidance Array, then the subsequent power will undoubtedly have a qualitative leap.

But Huo Yuhao in the original work clearly did not think of this point. The Zhuge Divine Crossbow he demonstrated to Xuan Ziwen back then still could not escape the limitations of the mechanism.

If the triggering of the Soul Guidance Array truly replaced the mechanism, let alone a Soul Saint, even a Title Douluo could potentially be taken down by me.

The power triggered by a Soul Guidance Array is extremely terrifying. If it is only a continuous triggering and not a one-time explosion, the power obviously cannot reach that kind of extremely terrifying degree.

But if the explosion of a Soul Guidance Array is used to replace the triggering of a mechanism, even the Flying Hook Claw could potentially pierce through the opponent's protective soul power after being fired.

If his experiment can succeed, then if his clone also uses a set, in complex terrain, the pressure on the opponent will increase geometrically.

This kind of situation is especially suitable for when he is hunting Soul Beasts; the more complex the terrain, the greater the restriction on Soul Masters.

But as long as his device is developed, the more complex the terrain, the more advantageous it is for him. This is the terrifying aspect of the Stereo Maneuvering Gear!

This is only the prototype of the first generation. Su Yu will continue to make improvements later. After all, for a Soul Master, this thing can not only replace the Flying Soul Guidance Device but also replace other mobile devices.

This is only considering the factor of close-quarters combat. If a Soul Guidance Cannon were set up at this time, that would be another situation entirely.

The opponent might face Soul Guidance Rays from various strange and tricky angles, as well as strange movement trajectories. With one's actions completely within the position, unless the opponent has the ability to suppress instantly, they will very likely fall into a disadvantage.

Of course, man proposes, God disposes. This kind of design can only be said to increase one's winning odds; it cannot be said to be completely without loopholes.

Su Yu engraved the Soul Guidance Array on the Flying Hook Claw he made, and then put it into his Storage Soul Guidance Device.

"I wonder how Wang Dong is doing. Counting the time, there shouldn't be many days left until school starts..."

Standing in front of the window, looking at the bright full moon outside, little did he know that in the depths of the clouds, there was also an incomparably handsome youth, resting his chin on his hand, gazing at the bright moon.

"Sigh, school is finally about to start. I wonder how Su Yu is doing now. That cultivation fanatic, all he knows is cultivation day in and day out; he's simply a brainless idiot."

The youth's short, powder-blue hair refracted a brilliant, dazzling halo under the moonlight; at a single glance, it was as resplendent as a rainbow after the rain.

"I absolutely cannot let that guy catch up to me, otherwise I won't be able to bully him when the time comes. Hmph, no, no, no, I absolutely cannot let that bastard catch up to me, absolutely not!"

For some reason, a brilliance swirled in the youth's eyes as if they had made up their mind; looking at their own fair, tender palms, a trace of a smile could not help but emerge in their eyes.

"Don't you forget, you bastard actually dared to call me a pig. Once I go back, I must draw a pig on your head. This handsome guy is definitely not a pig, hmph..."

The youth propped up their chin, lying on the table, and in front of them was a sheet of white paper filled with writing...

On the white paper, it was filled with the name of one person.

Su Yu...
