Chapter 55 The Golden Left Hand
The third core magic array is finally complete.
Xiao Hongchen's hair was completely soaked with sweat. In this long-awaited duel, the immense pressure made him feel like he had entered a new realm. Completing the creation of three level-five core magic arrays within an hour had already surpassed the upper limit of his previous level.
Jing Hongchen nodded slightly. Since Xiao Hongchen had gained some insight from this competition, even if he lost, it wouldn't be a loss. It seemed that giving Xiao an opponent to increase the pressure was the right thing to do; for geniuses, the greater the pressure, the faster they would grow.
Seeing his unhurried demeanor, Zheng Zhan couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark. This Unbreakable King was usually the one he didn't get along with the most, and he certainly wouldn't let the opportunity pass him by.
"Jing Hongchen, why are you nodding? The timer for the soul tool has less than a minute left, and your grandson hasn't even finished the outer and inner shells. Is he planning to go on stage carrying the core array?"
Jing Hongchen chuckled and remained silent. Zheng Zhan was about to continue when Old Wang pulled him aside and whispered a few words in his ear. Only then did he look at the competition stage with some hesitation.
On the field, Xiao Hongchen also revealed the reason why he dared to be so arrogant.
A flash of golden light appeared, and another golden webbed foot suddenly emerged from his side. In an instant, dazzling golden light enveloped his entire body. His three legs bent slightly, and the first two of his four perfectly matched spirit rings lit up one after another. On his arched back, golden protrusions bulged continuously from within his clothes.
Then, he casually tossed the three completed core magic arrays toward a pile of metal raw materials nearby.
In the next scene, something strange happened:
Centered on those metal spheres, countless golden light spots suddenly appeared in the air, spreading outwards wildly like rivers flowing into the sea. Several rare metals floated up on their own, then extended and deformed, automatically piecing themselves together to encompass the core magic array.
In the blink of an eye, a massive arm, a foot in diameter, crashed to the ground amidst a burning golden aura.
Just as the metal arm was fully formed, the last grain of sand in the hourglass finally slipped out.
Metal Control and Boiling Metal are two soul skills that cause his metal-type soul power to surge, and he can forcibly control rare metals to change their form according to his will.
This is the perfect compatibility between the Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul and the Soul Master, and it is also the biggest reason why he is called the number one genius in the history of the Sun Moon Empire.
"Gold element control can be used like this?" Kong Tianxu was greatly intrigued, and his mind began to race. If he also mastered a sufficiently high level of gold attribute, coupled with the silver dragon's innate affinity for the elements...
A playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Hongchen finally snapped out of his previous state of complete focus on the production and stared intently at the finished product on Kong Tianxu's table. However, after studying it for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out.
"Alright, the production process is complete. Please hand over the finished soul tools to me for inspection," Elder Ma said at the opportune moment.
Xiao Hongchen stepped forward first, followed leisurely by Kong Tianxu. During the carving process, he had come up with many new ideas and was pondering how to implement them. As for the current competition, he didn't care at all.
Once the true power of his soul tool is revealed, no one will have a different opinion on who will win or lose.
Ma Jinlong took the armband that Xiao Hongchen called the Golden Left Hand. As he channeled his soul power, a cannon hole instantly appeared in his palm, and golden light burst forth, shooting straight towards a two-meter-thick test alloy wall fifty meters away.
boom!!
Amidst the deafening roar, a massive crater, approximately one meter deep, suddenly appeared on the previously smooth wall. Even more astonishingly, wisps of liquid metal continued to drip from the crater's edge, as if corroded by some unseen force.
"Metal assimilation power?" Old Ma's eyes lit up, and he immediately exclaimed in praise:
"A level 5 soul tool, the Golden Left Hand, a rare dual-purpose soul tool. The power of the soul cannon exceeds the ordinary level 5, and the recoil is very small. At the same time, it has a significant power amplification on the left arm and comes with the power of metal assimilation. It's just that the soul power consumption is a bit high."
He spared no praise, for this soul tool was indeed a top-tier item among level five devices, suitable for both close and long-range combat. More importantly, it was extremely well-suited to Xiao Hongchen, making it even more rare.
The shortcomings he just listed are actually not a problem for Xiao Hongchen himself.
Several level-nine soul masters looked on with admiration. Even Xu Guoyi couldn't help but praise Xiao Hongchen. A level-five soul master who was not even fourteen years old was already extremely rare. To achieve such a high level of skill in practice was truly remarkable. If Kong Tianxu hadn't suddenly appeared, his reputation as the number one genius would have been well-deserved.
Seeing this, they became even more eager to see the strange-looking fixed soul tool made by Kong Tianxu.
Judging from his words, he clearly didn't intend to win in terms of power, but fixed-position soul tools are synonymous with extreme power. What new tricks can this kid come up with? Everyone's curiosity has been completely aroused.
After listening to Elder Ma's evaluation, Xiao Hongchen glanced smugly at Kong Tianxu. His soul tool was not only what it had just shown, but also had a core function that could only be displayed in conjunction with his martial soul ability. This was a design concept that Jing Hongchen had tailored for him.
He was very confident that he would bring Kong Tianxu a big surprise when he got to the competition stage.
"Tianxu, come here, let me see what secrets this strange and unusual fixed-position soul tool of yours holds." Old Ma chuckled as he handed back the golden left hand.
"Old Ma, I believe you will like it. I have already injected soul power into the charging array beforehand. You just need to pull the trigger here." Kong Tianxu said, demonstrating a few steps to Old Ma.
Upon closer inspection of this fixed-installation soul tool, Elder Ma discovered that it was indeed quite sophisticated, with a very reasonable layout. The seemingly simple mechanical structures combined together possessed a kind of understated yet elegant beauty.
He slightly activated his soul power to sense the area and found that there were indeed only the eight core arrays he had seen before. The soul power in seven of the charging arrays was already full and had not yet had time to dissipate.
As he felt it, he subconsciously followed Kong Tianxu's instructions and briefly manipulated the weapon before pulling the trigger towards another wall in front of him.
boom!
A not-so-loud transmission sound.
Immediately afterwards, a piercing explosion came from fifty meters away, and metal powder flew up on the alloy wall.
How powerful is it?
As the smoke gradually dissipated, the worshippers all craned their necks to look—
A small hole appeared in the solid alloy wall, and the soul-guiding device next to it automatically displayed:
"Damage depth: 1.7 meters, partial fracture of alloy stress structure, overall damage assessment: Level 6."
The entire room fell silent.
