Bai Zhou glanced at the blueprint, then directly began crafting.
This was a soul tool that assisted cultivation, shaped like a bracelet. When worn on the wrist, soul power could be injected during cultivation to better guide the circulation of soul power.
This bracelet was a second-tier soul tool. Its effect on cultivation was about a 5% increase, and it worked on cultivators below the Soul Emperor level—though the higher the cultivation, the weaker the effect.
However, second-tier soul tools were originally meant for Great Soul Masters. A 5% increase in cultivation speed was already extremely considerable.
Although Bai Zhou looked down on such a small boost to cultivation speed,
for ordinary soul masters, this was already a soul tool with extremely high cost performance.
Little by little, the benefits would accumulate, saving a great deal of time.
Although it was only a second-tier soul tool, because it needed to be made into a compact bracelet form, the core formation had to be greatly miniaturized, which clearly placed very high demands on the technique of engraving the core formation.
If an ordinary second-tier soul engineer wanted to make such a brand-new soul tool, they would have to fail at least four, five, six, seven, or eight times before succeeding.
But for the current Bai Zhou, the difficulty of making this trash soul tool was not even one-tenth that of the micro card, so it was naturally effortless.
After all, if he had not wasted some time improving the micro card, he would have already become a third-tier soul engineer by now.
...
Bai Zhou's speed in making the mold was very fast. In an instant, he finished crafting the rough bracelet blank. Immediately afterward, he began engraving the core formation onto a ring-shaped second-tier material.
For a soul tool that only increased efficiency by around 1%, the core formation was not complicated. Bai Zhou's hands moved extremely fast, without the slightest pause.
This scene left Qian Duoduo and Yan Shaozhe both somewhat astonished.
"This little guy—not only are his hands fast, they're also incredibly steady. Lin'er, you really did take in a good disciple~"
As an eighth-tier soul engineer, Qian Duoduo could tell at a glance that Bai Zhou's techniques were skilled and mature, even surpassing those of ordinary fourth- or fifth-tier soul engineers.
This was absolutely not something Bai Zhou's age should have been capable of. Even if this kid had been making soul tools since the womb, it would have been impossible to reach this level.
The only explanation was that his talent in the path of soul tools was extraordinarily high—practically heaven-defying!
"Good kid. No wonder Lin'er wanted to take you as her disciple. Looks like I misjudged you…"
Yan Shaozhe was also somewhat speechless. Although he was not a soul engineer, he was at least a Super Douluo and could naturally see some of the subtleties.
This time, he might truly have misjudged things. This kid not only possessed extremely high talent in the Martial Soul Department, but his talent in the path of soul tools was also monstrously abnormal.
This was a true monster. As long as he reported Bai Zhou's information to the Sea God Pavilion, Bai Zhou would definitely be able to enter the inner courtyard without any examinations.
"Yan Shaozhe, this time you're definitely going to lose. This kid belongs to my Soul Tool Department!"
Seeing Bai Zhou perform so well, Xian Lin'er felt secretly delighted.
Of course, the main reason was that she saw Yan Shaozhe suffering a setback.
Back then, Yan Shaozhe had been the first to fail to resist temptation and was lured away by Cai Meier, that seductive fox. Only then did she sulk and deliberately grow close to Qian Duoduo.
Unexpectedly, that bastard Yan Shaozhe didn't even bother to explain and directly married Cai Meier on the spot.
At the time, she was furious. In a fit of pique, she pretended to marry Qian Duoduo, wanting to see Yan Shaozhe's reaction.
If Yan Shaozhe had been willing to turn back, she actually wouldn't have minded returning to his embrace.
But what she didn't expect was that Yan Shaozhe merely sincerely congratulated her and Qiangda, then gave a wedding gift of three hundred…
From that moment on, she swore that she would never forgive Yan Shaozhe for the rest of her life.
It was also from that moment that she left the Martial Soul Department, established the Soul Tool Department, and swore to become the first ninth-tier soul engineer of the Three Great Empires.
She wanted Yan Shaozhe to regret it—to regret why he hadn't chosen her back then!
...
Of course, Xian Lin'er naturally didn't know what Yan Shaozhe was thinking.
For Yan Shaozhe, he was already married now. Regarding that past relationship, he could only feel a bit of regret—nothing more.
He never would have imagined that a woman could hold such a grudge…
However, at this moment, Yan Shaozhe naturally didn't know what Xian Lin'er was thinking. He was currently pondering how to dig Bai Zhou back over to his side again…
Because Bai Zhou had said before that his original intention was to cultivate both martial souls and soul tools.
Previously, Yan Shaozhe hadn't agreed because he was afraid Bai Zhou would waste time on soul tools.
But now, seeing Bai Zhou's talent in the Soul Tool Department, he naturally wouldn't stop him anymore. After all, this was also the agreement between him and Bai Zhou.
As for Xian Lin'er's side, he had only promised not to pursue the matter of Bai Zhou violating the rules to join the Soul Tool Department. As for whether the Sea God Pavilion would agree or not—that had nothing to do with him.
...
The three of them chatted as they waited.
After waiting for about half an hour, they suddenly sensed a relatively strong fluctuation of soul power coming from Bai Zhou's direction.
"Wait… this is the activation fluctuation of a soul tool…"
"No way—he's already finished???"
Both Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo looked toward Bai Zhou in disbelief.
They felt like they had only chatted for a short while, yet Bai Zhou had already successfully crafted it…
This was a bit too outrageous.
"Teacher, I'm done."
Bai Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled brightly at Xian Lin'er.
It wasn't that the crafting difficulty was too high, but under the pressure of three Titled Douluo—even though they had restrained all their auras—just their gazes alone caused Bai Zhou to feel a faint, almost imperceptible pressure.
Dividing his attention between resisting that pressure and focusing on crafting the soul tool still posed a tiny bit of difficulty for Bai Zhou.
Fortunately, he lived up to expectations and successfully crafted this second-tier soul tool bracelet.
"Quick, let your teacher take a look!"
With a flash, Xian Lin'er instantly appeared beside Bai Zhou and carefully took the silver-white bracelet from his hand.
The bracelet felt cool to the touch. With a slight injection of soul power, it resonated in response, slightly increasing cultivation speed—though it naturally had no effect on Xian Lin'er herself.
"It's actually perfect quality! Truly worthy of being my student!"
After sensing the quality of the bracelet, Xian Lin'er revealed a satisfied expression and looked at Bai Zhou with increasing approval.
"What! Perfect quality?!"
Qian Duoduo and Yan Shaozhe were also greatly shocked and hurried over.
Soul tools also had quality grades. Based on soul power conversion efficiency, from low to high they were divided into inferior, normal, fine, and perfect.
Conversion rates below 50% were inferior; 50–70% were normal; 70–90% were fine.
Only when the conversion rate exceeded 90% could it be called perfect.
Most soul engineers produced normal-grade items. With a single mistake, the product could become inferior.
Only when in excellent condition could one produce a fine-grade soul tool.
As for perfect quality, it required the right timing, location, and people—everything aligned—to possibly appear.
Even ninth-tier soul engineers could not guarantee producing perfect-grade soul tools 100% of the time. This had nothing to do with the level of the soul tool or the soul engineer; it involved a degree of mysticism…
And now, Bai Zhou, on his very first attempt at crafting a completely unfamiliar soul tool, had produced a perfect-quality item.
Previously, when Yan Shaozhe saw how quickly Bai Zhou was crafting, he still harbored a tiny bit of suspicion that Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er might have secretly colluded and leaked the blueprint to Bai Zhou in advance.
But now…
Yan Shaozhe had absolutely no doubts left at all.
