Chapter 845: Chapter 196 Kong Deming: I Think It's Feasible_1
"Breathtaking, this is simply a beautiful work of art."
In the laboratory, Kong Deming's eyes were filled with fascination.
He gently touched the surface of the Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device, his hands trembling.
As if he were caressing an unparalleled beauty, with extreme care.
"Who are you!"
"What are you doing!"
"Take your hands off me now."
Suddenly, a hasty voice came from outside the laboratory.
Kong Deming instinctively looked up to see a handsome young man rushing in, looking at him angrily.
He couldn't help but frown.
Did he know who he was?
Even His Majesty the Emperor of the entire Sun-Moon Empire wouldn't dare to shout at him like this.
And yet this youngster had the audacity to scold him.
Who gave him such courage?
"Brother Qin, you've finally returned. Here, let me introduce you, this is my teacher, as well as the strongest Soul Master in our Sun-Moon Empire, Elder Kong!"
Xuan Ziwen winked and gestured frantically at Qin Xiao.
He was afraid Qin Xiao would rashly offend Kong Deming.
Kong Deming?
So it was Kong Deming!
Qin Xiao felt a slight stir in his heart.
Indeed, if it hadn't been Kong Deming, why would Xuan Ziwen let anyone so easily touch his Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device?
Only, this Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device seemed identical to him.
When he saw others touch it,
It felt as though someone was touching him.
In his heart, there was still an instinctive feeling of displeasure and opposition.
Of course.
This did not exclude the reason of Kong Deming's gender.
If you put a young, beautiful woman with long legs here, Qin Xiao might not even be resistant.
Cough cough.
That's a bit off topic.
"So it's Elder Kong, my apologies."
Qin Xiao cupped his hands together, showing respect.
After all, this man was the number one person in soul guidance devices in the Royal Soul Master Academy of the Sun-Moon Empire and held great authority, so it was important to keep up appearances.
"So you are Qin Xiao. As expected, you can indeed be considered a genius of our Sun-Moon Empire."
Kong Deming also withdrew his hand from the Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device, placed both hands behind him, and adopted a look of profundity.
He was very reluctant in his heart but couldn't show it too obviously on the surface.
Given his status and position, he couldn't appear too ignorant.
Moreover, after the slaying of Duke Baihu, the people of the Sun-Moon Empire had started to regard Qin Xiao as one of their own.
Everyone comfortably referred to "our Empire" without feeling awkward.
Qin Xiao replied evenly, "Compared to Elder Kong, my small accomplishments don't amount to much."
"Heh, you really underestimate yourself too much. I won't lie to you, the research on Human-shaped Soul Guidance Devices has always been ongoing in our Royal Soul Master Academy, but there hasn't been much breakthrough, and the semi-finished Human-shaped Soul Guidance Devices are still hidden underground."
"Young man, don't belittle yourself, for your achievements in the area of Human-shaped Soul Guidance Devices have already surpassed many masters in our academy."
Kong Deming spoke bluntly, not hiding his admiration for Qin Xiao.
And, since Qin Xiao would sooner or later come into contact with these core secrets, he didn't make an effort to conceal them.
"Hehe..."
Qin Xiao knew that anything he said at this point would be wrong.
Too much humility would seem hypocritical.
If he wasn't humble, it would be easy to appear arrogant and haughty.
So, he could only laugh and scratch his head.
Not answering but also not denying, he let Kong Deming guess his own thoughts.
"Quit that silly grin and show my teacher how this Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device of yours operates."
At this time, Xuan Ziwen suddenly became particularly astute.
He quickly gave Qin Xiao a meaningful look.
Urging Qin Xiao to start his demonstration promptly.
Qin Xiao instantly grasped the meaning behind Xuan Ziwen's gesture.
Displaying his Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device was one aspect, but more importantly, he wanted to leave a stronger, more favorable impression on Kong Deming.
"Elder Kong, my Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device still has many flaws. I wonder if you could offer me some guidance?"
Qin Xiao asked.
A learner indeed... Kong Deming's admiration for Qin Xiao grew even stronger.
Not to mention his understanding of human relationships, which pleased him greatly.
Knowing his own lack of experience, he didn't boast but instead asked for guidance.
This act substantially salvaged his dignity.
"Of course, I can."
In fact, he had already been eager to begin.
"Good!"
Qin Xiao nodded, not saying anything more.
The next moment, a powerful spiritual force emitted from his body, focusing on the Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device.
Swipe, swipe, swipe.
The Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device began to flicker with light as one Array after another activated.
Then, under Kong Deming's astonished gaze, the Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device started to move.
It began its experimental steady walk.
However, because of the extensive damage it incurred during the killing of Duke Bai Hu, it had not been repaired yet, so it appeared to be limping.
But even so, it excited Kong Deming tremendously.
"The movement is actually so flexible. It's practically indistinguishable from a living person!"
He couldn't help muttering to himself.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao smirked inwardly.
It wasn't that their manufacturing capabilities were weak, just that their imaginations were not rich enough.
In the era of information explosion where Qin Xiao had lived, there were simply too many bizarre technologies.
Many of them, if placed in this world, would create miracles when combined with Soul Guidance Devices.
At that moment, Kong Deming asked again, "As I understand, your Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device is also capable of using soul tools, right?"
"Of course."
The Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device answered with a voice simulated by an Array.
Hiss, this thing can actually talk?
Kong Deming gasped in surprise.
Meanwhile, Qin Xiao controlled the Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device to pull out a soul laser gun from the Spatial Storage Device.
"Hmm, due to the limitations of the space here, it is not convenient to use powerful soul tools. I will demonstrate with this soul laser gun instead."
He said while picking up the soul laser gun, aiming at a piece of metal not far away.
The next moment, Kong Deming saw a stream of potent Soul Power flow from the chest of the Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device.
Then it rapidly traveled along the patterns on its body to the palm and connected with the Array on the handle of the soul laser gun, charging it with energy.
"Great stuff, so these soul tools are also designed to complement the Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device."
Kong Deming's eyes revealed a look of astonishment.
He instantly understood the principle at work.
Although the Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device was using a soul tool, at this moment, the two could be considered a single Soul Guidance Device.
Whoosh.
The soul laser beam flashed briefly, piercing a hole as thick as a little finger through the metal.
"Good, this is simply wonderful!"
Kong Deming couldn't help but clap his hands. "This Soul Guidance Device of yours is the most exquisite I've ever seen. I'm not ashamed to say I don't see any flaws, nor do I have anything to advise on.
However, I can feel that your Soul Guidance Device still has some defects, namely that many of the Arrays on it are of a low level. I expect you are already aware of this issue."
Qin Xiao nodded upon hearing these words, "Yes."
"Then why haven't you solved it? If these issues were resolved, the power of this Soul Guidance Device would increase several notches." Kong Deming asked again.
