Chapter 126 Ye Nanxiao's New Research Direction

Chapter 126 Ye Nanxiao's New Research Direction

A moment later, Liang Wei and Shi Wei, each holding a small bowl, took big bites of the meat patty, uttering inscrutable sounds of praise.

Watching the two wolf down their food, Ye Nanxiao held the ice cream frozen from the Frost Rock Mine, his face showing a "comrade, I'm rooting for you" expression, happy to have found a companion on his unique culinary journey.

Once Liang Wei and Shi Wei embarked on the path of using rare metals to make food, they became unstoppable and soon shared their knowledge with the other Soul Masters of Juxing Hall.

Ye Nanxiao's unique culinary path received unanimous praise from the Soul Masters of Juxing Hall. Even Soul Masters whose experiments and research failed would quickly recover and be fully revived after eating the meat patties grilled from Crimson Crystal, and would throw themselves back into the production of Soul Tools.

Seeing that Juxingtang's style was gradually becoming more fox-like, Xu Jiujiu blinked his big eyes and decided to leave the headache to Elder Luo, while he himself was just there to be an assistant.

Fortunately, Liang Wei and the others were only using leftover scraps from their usual experiments, and Old Luo only scolded them once before leaving it to their own devices.

When the construction of the interception tower was halfway complete, Ye Nanxiao received many challenge letters, all from his long-time suitors.

Ye Nanxiao, busy with the creation of the soul tool, simply put it aside and ignored it.

Even though Ye Nanxiao was hiding inside Juxing Hall, he still encountered many suitors. As for Luo Lao, he was just watching the show with amusement, and he would often watch the excitement with Liang Weishi and others, snacking as they went.

After defeating a group of challengers one by one, Ye Nanxiao finally found some peace.

"Brother Ye, your challenge letter has arrived again, but this time there's only one." Liang Wei handed the challenge letter to Ye Nanxiao.

Wearing a self-made astronaut-like experimental suit, Ye Nanxiao took off his helmet, took the challenge letter handed to him by Liang Wei, opened it and glanced at its contents, then looked helplessly at Xu Jiujiu beside him.

"Are you aware that your suitors have formed a fox-hunting alliance?" Ye Nanxiao asked in confusion.

The Fox-Slaying Alliance is after Ye Nanxiao, isn't it?

"The champion of the National Soul Master Competition, amazing talent in soul tools, top-notch martial soul, you are already at the top of the new generation of soul masters. Even if they unite against you, it won't do you any good." Xu Jiujiu rolled her eyes at Ye Nanxiao.

"They have a deep misunderstanding and won't listen to any explanations." Ye Nanxiao accepted the long praise. "They were just making soul tools."

"I don't mind the misunderstanding," Xu Jiujiu said, looking at Ye Nanxiao with a serious expression.

Looking into Xu Jiujiu's eyes, which held a faint starlight, Ye Nanxiao smiled, tossed the challenge letter aside, put on his helmet, and continued making the soul tool. With the helmet's assistance, he multitasked, simultaneously creating multiple core magic arrays.

Xu Jiujiu stared at Ye Nanxiao, whose hands and feet were getting faster and faster, and wondered aloud. She always carefully made up her makeup every day, but Ye Nanxiao spent more time looking at the soul tool than at her. Could it be that her charm was not good enough for Ye Nanxiao?

No, my brother said that no man can resist the charms of a beautiful woman. If there's no reaction, it's just that the woman isn't alluring enough.

"Pass me the second core array," Ye Nanxiao said, turning to Xu Jiujiu.

Xu Jiujiu, who subconsciously obeyed Ye Nanxiao's instructions, held the second core array while his mind wandered. He didn't hold it firmly, and the second core array slipped from his hand.

Xu Jiujiu quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly reached out to try to catch the core magic array.

Ye Nanxiao also saw the falling core array out of the corner of his eye, and reached out to catch it, grasping a flustered little hand and the core array together.

When Ye Nanxiao suddenly grabbed her hand, Xu Jiujiu's heart raced a little faster. She stared blankly at Ye Nanxiao, a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Ye Nanxiao pried open Xu Jiujiu's small hands and took away the core magic array.

Seeing this, Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but clench her little fists and pout her little lips.

This isn't just emotionally numb; it's purely a case of someone whose eyes are only on the soul tool.

At this moment, Liang Wei walked over and said, "Brother Ye, the core formation on Elder Luo's side is ready, and he wants you to go and get it."

Ye Nanxiao took off his helmet, nodded, and said, "Let's go to Elder Luo's place."

Xu Jiujiu hummed softly and silently followed behind Ye Nanxiao.

As soon as Ye Nanxiao made a move, he attracted the attention of all the Soul Masters in the entire hall.

As they walked away, surrounded by admiring and adoring gazes, Ye Nanxiao and his companion slowly disappeared into the distance.

Liang Wei, who was closest to Ye Nanxiao, put down the parts he was holding, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and frowned as he said, "The Fox-Slaying Alliance? Even if these people band together, they're not very useful."

At this moment, a Soul Master next to Liang Wei nudged Liang Wei's shoulder and whispered, "Old Liang, you weren't here before, so you didn't see it, but the guys Gu Huai and his group sent were all beaten back by Brother Ye with a single finger."

"They've teamed up this time, and I bet they'll be coming after Brother Ye again soon. There are always some people who overestimate themselves," Liang Wei sighed.

Ye Nanxiao entered the key and pushed open the door. Old Luo was carefully making the core magic array in the design blueprints on the soul guidance table. Shi Wei beside him was releasing his martial soul, a Void-Piercing Blade, to assist in making the outer shell parts.

Seeing Shi Wei's dagger flashing back and forth, Ye Nanxiao asked, "Shi Wei, is this your martial spirit skill?"

Shi Wei turned to look at Ye Nanxiao and nodded, saying, "Yes, the Void-Piercing Blade, which has spatial attributes."

Upon hearing about the spatial attribute, Ye Nanxiao's eyes lit up. He quickly stepped forward, handed the parts that Elder Luo had given him to Xu Jiujiu, and stood beside Shi Wei, focusing intently on Shi Wei's martial soul.

Ye Nanxiao had been studying spatial attributes for some time, but he didn't have enough data to support his experiments. Now that he had a Soul Master with spatial attributes in front of him, Ye Nanxiao quickly seized the opportunity.

Shi Wei was startled by Ye Nanxiao's sudden enthusiasm. He crossed his arms and asked cautiously, "Brother Ye, what are you doing?"

Ye Nanxiao chuckled and said, "I'd like to study your martial soul. I'm researching soul tools with spatial attributes, but I don't have enough data."

Upon hearing this, Shi Wei breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Ye Nanxiao was only researching martial spirits and had no other intentions. If Ye Nanxiao really had any intentions, he would only offer a symbolic resistance.

If you can't resist, then you can only enjoy it.

Luo, the elder brother standing to the side, laughed and said, "So that's what it is. I started researching spatial soul tools a long time ago. If you're interested, I can show you my records."

After saying that, he pulled out a notebook and tossed it to Ye Nanxiao.

Professor Luo was impressed by Ye Nanxiao's talent and not only shared some of his research findings with him, but also allowed Ye Nanxiao to use his laboratory.

"I've heard some things about this research from Mingde Hall, and then I started my own research. However, if you really want to create a spatial soul tool, young man Ye, you might still have to make a trip to the Sun Moon Empire. After all, Mingde Hall is the most advanced place in the world when it comes to soul tools. If you go there, with your talent and the strength of Mingde Hall, you might actually be able to create a spatial soul tool." As Elder Luo spoke, a hint of nostalgia appeared on his face, but it quickly turned into disappointment.

Ye Nanxiao carefully put away the notes given to him by Elder Luo, as if he had found a treasure. He revealed a confident smile and said, "Others may not be able to do it, but I can definitely do it."

Ye Nanxiao spoke with great confidence, possessing top-notch talent for understanding soul tools and containing the knowledge of an entire world within his mind.

Looking at Ye Nanxiao's confident smile, Xu Jiujiu's eyes rippled with emotion.

Having completed the manufacturing of some core components of the interception tower, Ye Nanxiao roughly drafted a plan and then began his path of cultivation, absorbing Elder Luo's understanding of spatial soul tools.

The interception tower was just a few steps away from completion. After finishing the core part, Ye Nanxiao handed over the manufacturing plan to Liang Wei and Shi Wei, and focused on researching the space soul tool.

However, the research data provided by Elder Luo alone was insufficient to support Ye Nanxiao's experimental research. The fastest source of experimental data was to study martial souls with spatial attributes, and there happened to be one nearby.

So, the explosion occurred inside the laboratory.

Liang Wei huddled behind a table, looking at Shi Wei with pity as he was being bombarded by Ye Nanxiao's soul-guided rays.

"Shi Wei, use your martial spirit to block! Don't run away!" Ye Nanxiao carried several soul-guided cannons, constantly aiming at Shi Wei who was running around, while the floating sphere beside him recorded data.

"We can't just not run, can we find another way?" Shi Wei suggested loudly.

Ye Nanxiao put down the soul-guided cannon in his hand and thought for a moment.

Shi Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ye Nanxiao put away the soul-guided cannon, and squatted down on the ground.

"How about I experience it in a real battle?" Ye Nanxiao raised his right hand, and several ice balls floated in his hand.

"No! Please don't!" Shi Wei was startled and quickly refused.

Xu Jiujiu, who was holding a soul guide device recording data, said, "In terms of actual combat, there are quite a few candidates in the academy, and they all happen to have some grudge against you."

The three of them turned to look at Xu Jiujiu at the same time.

Upon hearing that he had a grudge against him, Ye Nanxiao thought for a moment. Apart from Juxingtang and occasionally being dragged out to eat by Xu Jiujiu, he had basically never been anywhere else.

Ye Nanxiao quickly thought of an organization and asked, "Does that Fox-Slaying Alliance have someone with a space-attribute martial soul?"

After a long pause, he nodded and said, "There are a few."

"What a coincidence." Ye Nanxiao pondered, stroking his chin.

At the gate of Xingluo Royal Academy.

Two figures walked into the academy.

The young man at the head of the group had a handsome face and an ethereal appearance.

The girl beside the boy was extremely beautiful, with a radiant glow like a bright pearl and a lustrous jade.

Ye Nanxiao and Xu Jiujiu attracted everyone's attention, but soon, all eyes were on Ye Nanxiao.

Everyone looked surprised, and many girls and even women had ripples of light in their eyes when they saw Ye Nanxiao's appearance.

Seeing that even the male students were attracted to Ye Nanxiao, he sighed after a long while, "Even with a stunning appearance, she pales in comparison to you."

Ye Nanxiao nodded in deep agreement and said, "Being too good-looking really is a bit of a problem for me."

"Your words are really asking for a beating," Xu Jiujiu said quietly.

Ye Nanxiao followed Xu Jiujiu through the long road and arrived at an artificial lake, where they stopped at a small pavilion.

"I reckon someone will be looking for you soon. You caused quite a stir when you entered the courtyard." Xu Jiujiu took out a tea set from her storage soul tool and placed it on the small wooden table in the pavilion.

"Thanks." After a long while, Ye Nanxiao drank the teacup that was handed to him in one gulp. He always felt that drinking tea in one go was the most comfortable way to enjoy beverages.

Before Ye Nanxiao could even take a sip of his second cup of tea, a young man dressed in the uniform of the Star Luo Royal Academy walked slowly to the pavilion, smiling as he greeted the two people inside. "Student Ye, Your Highness, may I have a seat in this pavilion?"

Ye Nanxiao looked at him for a long time, and the latter nodded slightly before gesturing for the young man to proceed.

"My name is Gu Huai, from the Gu family of Xingluo. I have long admired Brother Ye's name, but after meeting you today, I realize that the rumors were all lies." Gu Huai sat next to Ye Nanxiao, shaking his head and sighing.

"Rumors about me?" Ye Nanxiao became interested.

"Brother Ye is far more handsome than the rumors say. Those people's words couldn't even begin to describe Brother Ye's beauty. I actually believed them." Gu Huai sighed again, his face full of regret.

"Gu Huai, you didn't come here just to tell Nanxiao this, did you?" Xu Jiujiu handed Ye Nanxiao another cup of tea, her gaze never leaving him.

Gu Huai narrowed his eyes, a smile appearing on his face, and said, "Of course not, but it's normal to want to spend more time with someone as amazing as Brother Ye, isn't it?"

"Or is it that the princess already considers Brother Ye her own? Does she want to possess Brother Ye exclusively?" Gu Huai stared at him for a long time before speaking slowly and deliberately.

Seeing the smile on Xu Jiujiu's face disappear, Ye Nanxiao coughed and said, "The main reason I came here is to ask Brother Gu for a favor."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Gu Huai's eyes. He habitually squinted at Ye Nanxiao. He had thought of many reasons why Ye Nanxiao would enter the Star Luo Royal Academy, but Ye Nanxiao actually wanted to ask him for help, which was beyond his expectations.

"I wonder how Brother Ye would like me to help? Why don't you tell me? Perhaps I can be of assistance," Gu Huai said.

"Thank you in advance, since you promised," Ye Nanxiao said with a smile.

Looking at Ye Nanxiao's smile, Gu Huai was stunned, muttering to himself, "What a beautiful person, how can there be such a beautiful person."

The pavilion wasn't large, so Gu Huai's mutterings were naturally heard by Ye Nanxiao and Xu Jiujiu.

Ye Nanxiao selectively ignored it, while Xu Jiujiu looked at Gu Huai with vigilance.

Realizing his loss of composure, Gu Huai quickly regained his previous expression, but he shifted his seat slightly towards Ye Nanxiao, shortening the distance between them.

"Brother Ye, how would you like me to help you?" Gu Huai asked.

"I have a new research direction, about spatial attribute martial souls. I'm sure Brother Gu is familiar with this special attribute. There probably aren't many people with it at the Star Luo Royal Academy, right?" Ye Nanxiao said with a standard smile.

"Of course I know that. My martial soul, the Sky-Slaying Wheel, possesses spatial attributes," Gu Huai said with a smile. This was no secret. As a martial soul with such a special attribute as spatial attributes, Gu Huai was already well-known at the Star Luo Royal Academy.

"I'd like you guys to beat me up." Ye Nanxiao revealed eight white teeth and said something that surprised Gu Huai.

Gu Huai's smile froze, and a question mark slowly appeared above his head.
