Chapter 72

"Hey, how did it catch fire?" Tang Tian had an innocent look on his face.

Sai Lei was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile, "It's not your fault. It seems this design still has flaws."

Tang Tian tilted his head and thought, "I think, even though the Star Secret Treasure has a martial soul and is very smart, it can't compare to humans. If that's the case, why don't you design it as an auxiliary combat equipment? That way, it would be very powerful! It could help humans fight and is also smart. If I had a weapon like that, which can use five martial techniques, I would have ten martial techniques, and no one would be able to beat me!"

Sai Lei felt as if her head had been struck by lightning, and she stood there like a wooden chicken.

Why didn't I think of that!

Yes, no matter how smart a martial soul is, it can never compare to humans. Making them fight against martial artists was a wrong approach from the start. If this system were used to assist martial artists in combat, it would be incredibly powerful.

No need to learn, and you can have new martial techniques. Sai Lei immediately realized the value of this idea.

Instantly, countless inspirations surged in her mind. She had many brilliant ideas and suddenly felt that her invention might change the world! This ridiculous thought popped into her head, but it made her suddenly excited.

She stood there in a daze, with countless ideas swirling and colliding in her mind like a storm!

Tang Tian could tell that Sai Lei was not in a state to be disturbed, so he wisely did not call her. Instead, he excitedly chatted with Bing, gesturing wildly, "Uncle Bing, I feel like I've improved a lot just now!"

Bing did not respond but stared at Tang Tian, "How did you come up with that idea just now?"

"That idea?" Tang Tian looked surprised, "Oh, I just thought of it casually. Isn't that how it should be? Didn't Uncle Bing think the same way?"

Bing remained silent, just staring at Tang Tian. He had much more combat experience than Tang Tian. During the battle between Tang Tian and Sai Lei's testing device, he was not surprised at all. In the former Southern Cross Corps, there were similar entities. That was the peak era of ancient machinery, and both machinery and martial souls were important means of training new recruits. Bing was very familiar with this. New recruits always struggled at first when facing such simulated combat training, but as their experience improved, a qualified new recruit could always defeat a stronger simulated sparring partner.

Humans are always the smartest.

Although Sai Lei's testing device looked more refined, Bing was not overly surprised. The sparring machines from their era were rougher but had much greater destructive power. In comparison, Sai Lei's testing device was like a delicate toy.

Bing was very calm, and even when Tang Tian won, he was not too surprised. In his view, Tang Tian possessed all the qualities of an outstanding soldier: he never slacked off in training and was even more fanatical about it than most. In battle, he never shied away, making him a typical combat genius and a true battle maniac.

He found it hard to imagine that such a person had been overlooked for several years.

Bing did not believe that Sai Lei's testing device could defeat Tang Tian.

As expected, Tang Tian won, but his words truly surprised Bing. With his rich combat experience, Bing immediately realized the astonishing value in Tang Tian's words.

This guy... always surprises me...

Bing's emotions were in turmoil, far from the calm he appeared to be. In his eyes, Tang Tian had always been a brainless teenager, a single-celled organism, and someone who couldn't count to a hundred without using his fingers. Suddenly, he said something so groundbreaking that it left Bing speechless.

Could I have underestimated this guy all along... He actually has some intelligence...

Bing began to doubt himself.

Tang Tian, seeing that Uncle Bing seemed stunned by his words, immediately became smug, "Ah ha, the mind of a god-like youth is as vast as the sea."

Just water...

Bing silently thought to himself, deciding to put this issue aside. Clearly, Tang Tian had just stumbled upon it by chance. A rookie like him wouldn't understand anything about combat.

"Ha ha! Indeed, you are a god-like youth, helping me solve a big problem!" Sai Lei's voice came from behind, her captivating eyes now shining with confidence. She smiled at Tang Tian, "I've decided to give you two cards for free!"

Tang Tian became even more smug, but his attention was immediately drawn to the Soul General Cards, "They must be powerful!"

"Ha ha!" Sai Lei laughed, "Oh oh oh, they must be powerful to match a god-like youth!"

She held up a bright silver Soul General Card, "You mentioned needing a 4th Rank Heart Method Soul General Card to match the Crane Qi Technique. I only have this [Four Heavenly Dragons], which is the true transmission of the Heavenly Dragon Constellation. The Heavenly Dragon Constellation was once prominent but declined quickly, somewhat similar to the Heavenly Crane Constellation. It's clear you have cultivated the Crane Body, the essence of the Crane Qi Technique. The Crane Body's power will be significant up to the 5th Rank. When you reach the 6th Rank, unless you learn a higher-level Heart Method from the Crane School, the Crane Body's power will be minimal. [Four Heavenly Dragons] is only a 4th Rank, but the Heavenly Dragon Constellation's Heart Method is unique. From [One Heavenly Dragon] to [Seven Heavenly Dragons], you need to reach the 8th Rank to undergo a true transformation, known as [Eightfold Heavenly Dragons], which is very powerful. Besides [Eightfold Heavenly Dragons], the most powerful aspect of this Heart Method is the Heavenly Dragon Power."

Tang Tian listened very carefully, muttering, "Heavenly Dragon Power..."

"That's right, Crane Power is sharp, and Dragon Power is fierce. If you can grasp Heavenly Dragon Power, your every move will be much more powerful. Your current fighting style is already very aggressive, and with Heavenly Dragon Power, it will be even more powerful. Moreover, the transformation between Crane Power and Dragon Power will add more variations. Although Heavenly Dragon Power is difficult to cultivate, you have already cultivated the Crane Body, so I believe in you, god-like youth!"

Sai Lei winked at Tang Tian.

Tang Tian was not at all modest, taking the Soul General Card with confidence, "I will definitely cultivate Heavenly Dragon Power!"

Sai Lei did not hide her admiration, and another card appeared in her hand, "You are indeed a natural at close combat, but I noticed a weakness: your leg techniques. Your leg techniques are much weaker than your hand techniques. This [Double Kick] is very suitable for close combat. It's quite obscure, using borrowed force to attack continuously, and the power is significant. When performed, it's like fireworks, very interesting. If you can grasp Heavenly Dragon Power and incorporate it into your leg techniques, it will be even more powerful!"

"Sounds fun!" Tang Tian's eyes sparkled, and he was very pleased with these two cards.

Tang Tian suddenly tilted his head and looked at the burnt-out testing device, then turned to Sai Lei, "Sai Lei, are you going to start rebuilding the testing device?"

Sai Lei shrugged, "I'll refine my ideas first. Wugang is easy to get, but the Secret Treasure is hard to find. I spent a lot of effort to get this one. Now I can only play with low-rank cards. The higher the card rank, the higher the Secret Treasure requirement. It's very expensive, so I need to save some money first."

Tang Tian chuckled, then produced a treasure sword and handed it to Sai Lei, "This Secret Treasure is for you. I don't use swords, so it's useless to me. You can use it to build a new testing device."

Sai Lei did not hesitate, accepting it straightforwardly, "Tsk tsk, you are indeed a young and wealthy youth. One move, and you give a Secret Treasure, so generous that even I am moved. I am the most materialistic, and I love rich men. Although you are a bit young, why not come with me? I will take good care of you..."

When she took a closer look, she exclaimed, "Huh, Rabbit Silk Sword, a Bronze Secret Treasure of the Heavenly Rabbit Constellation. I've never seen one before."

"I just defeated a few guys. A young girl didn't have a Soul Core, so she gave me this sword." Tang Tian said nonchalantly.

Sai Lei was stunned for a moment, then realized, "I know who they are! Hehe, youth, why don't you find another opportunity to rob them again? They have a lot of good stuff!"

Sai Lei's eyes sparkled, with countless stars floating in them. Tang Tian felt a chill and firmly shook his head, "We've settled our scores. Unless they offend me again, I won't do anything bad on my own."

Sai Lei looked regretful.

Bing suddenly asked, "Do you have any books about the history of Sanhun City?"

"You are interested in Sanhun City?" Sai Lei was surprised, "Sanhun City is not a major city in the Soul Zone, and its history is only about a thousand years."

"Soul Zone?" Bing caught these two words.

"Don't even know the Soul Zone? Where are you from, primitive people!" Sai Lei's gaze was strange, but soon she frowned in thought, "Go west, there's a small library. It has some related books with detailed introductions. To be honest, I'm only interested in ancient machinery."

"Thanks!" Bing turned to leave.

Tang Tian was also ready to leave when he heard Sai Lei call out, "Hey, god-like youth, remember to come and see my new invention in a few months!"

Tang Tian's spirits lifted, and he shouted, "That's settled! God-like girl, you must work hard!" I'm really looking forward to what my reminder will make Sai Lei create!

Said that, Tang Tian waved to Sai Lei, jumped onto the bronze mechanical ostrich, and left with a rumble.

"God-like girl..." Sai Lei stood there for a moment, a smile spreading across her lips, "What an interesting guy. Hmm, he seems quite wealthy. If I can't catch a rich husband, I'll make him a sponsor... Sai Lei with a sponsor, wow, sounds very powerful!"

"Got to find some more Wugang... I'm a bit hungry... I haven't eaten all day..."

"Ah, the last packet of cookies is gone... Oh no... Why is this world so hopeless..."
