Chapter 17 Soto City
Time flies, the years fly by, and four years fly by.
South of Tiandou Empire, Balak Kingdom, Soto City.
It was just after noon, the sun was blazing, and three young people walked in from the west gate of Soto City. They all seemed to be in their teens, and they didn't carry any luggage with them. They were two boys and one girl.
These three people are naturally Shi Yi, Tang San and Xiao Wu.
At this time, Shi Yi was already fourteen years old. He was tall, dressed in white clothes, with a jade-encrusted belt around his waist. His short black shorts were a bit unruly and free, and his fair and delicate face made people laugh. I couldn't help but feel good about him, and the smile hanging on the corner of my mouth showed even more closeness.
During the eight years in Nuoding, thanks to Yu Xiaogang, Shi Yi could say that he was very good. He had basically read all the books in Yu Xiaogang's room. During the day, he would fight with Tang San and continue Studying the materials in depth, constantly trying to carve out the core magic circle, he was immersed in practice at night, with almost no free time. The daily work in the blacksmith shop polished Shi Yi's body to be very strong.
After Shi Yi successfully made the soul guide, Tang San proposed that he want to learn how to make the soul guide. Shi Yi did not refuse and basically told Tang San the principles and logic of the soul guide. However, just as Shi Yi had originally As Yu Xiaogang said, Tang San didn't have much creativity.
Making a soul guide is not just like practicing a skill, which only requires following the drawings, but designing it yourself. The important thing is that the core formation has different understandings for different soul guides.
This led Tang San to learn how to make soul tools. The core array would only depict things designed by Shi Yi. The materials and structures basically came from the Tang Sect's hidden weapons. The complex mechanical expansion structure of the Tang Sect's hidden weapons led to the need for Describing an extremely complex core array, simply copying it mechanically will obviously not give the soul guidance weapon the power it deserves, and asking Tang San to design an exclusive core array for the hidden weapon is obviously something Tang San can't do.
Not to mention that Tang San and even Shi Yi at this stage couldn't do it. Even if it were placed ten thousand years later, Huo Yuhao would only master the Tang Sect's hidden weapons and soul guidance through a lot of study and a complete and systematic study of the knowledge of soul guidance devices. combined with the power of the instrument.
Human energy is limited, and Tang San also realized that he was not suitable for making soul tools because what he had learned was too complicated, and soul tools were just a nascent knowledge that required a lot of time to study.
Having no choice but to give up on the design and manufacture of soul guides, Tang San could only concentrate on practicing what he was good at.
Shi Yi also obtained a lot of hidden weapon blueprints while getting along with Tang San, but Tang San did not teach Shi Yi any of the Tang sect's secret arts. Shi Yi also understood what Tang San was thinking, which was nothing more than hoping that Shi Yi He could design stronger soul tools based on hidden weapons, and he only needed to copy the core magic circle designed by Shi Yi.
Naturally, Shi Yi would not let Tang San take advantage of him. It was impossible for him to work for Tang San Bai. What he had always paid attention to was to give a favor and repay a favor. Compared with these shooting soul tools , Shi Yi prefers the design and research of melee soul guidance devices and trigger-type defensive soul guidance devices, because he knows very well that the primary goal for him now is to protect himself.
In terms of being a human being, there is still a gap between Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang didn't say much about this. He also understood what the two apprentices were planning. Shi Yi needed those magical self-created soul skills, while Tang San needed Shi Yi to upgrade the hidden weapon into a soul guidance device.
Yu Xiaogang was not a fool. He was born in Landian and he certainly understood the principle of resource replacement. Even though the two were brothers, Yu Xiaogang also understood that it was impossible for Shi Yi to work for Tang San Bai. However, it was obvious that Tang San was not willing to Take out those magical self-created soul skills on your body.
This made Yu Xiaogang very puzzled. He didn't understand why Tang San was unwilling to take it out. Obviously the potential of soul guidance tools was much greater than the potential of those self-created soul skills.
Shi Yi himself knew the reason very well. If he wanted to practice Tang Clan's secret art, he had to use the Xuantian Technique. Tang San would not allow an outsider to obtain the Xuantian Technique. Not even the Shrek Seven Monsters in the original book could get involved. Naturally, Shi Yi would not force anything.
Techniques, body techniques, and eye skills, in Shi Yi's consciousness, are just the results of the body's continuous training process, and Shi Yi also has ways to obtain these results, and even create something more suitable for himself.
Xiao Wu raised her hand, gently brushed the sweat from her forehead, and complained: "Finally we have arrived in this Soto City. I really don't know what the master is thinking. There are obviously several intermediate soul master academies that have expressed their intention to recruit unconditionally. We, he insists on letting you take the exam in that shabby college here that doesn’t even have grades.”
Tang San glanced at Shi Yi and slightly tugged on Xiao Wu's sleeve, hinting to him to stop talking.
Shi Yi said with a smile: "Junior brother, it's okay. The teacher asked you to come because the dean of this college is a soul saint, and this soul saint has a close relationship with the teacher."
Tang San looked surprised, while Xiao Wu subconsciously tensed up.
Tang San naturally understood what a Soul Saint meant. The Holy Soul Village where he was born was named after a Soul Saint came out of it.
"Senior brother, do you know the situation of this academy?" Tang San asked softly.
Shi Yi nodded and smiled: "Of course, but you will understand these things when you get to the academy. See you in the academy. Senior brother will not disturb you and your sweetheart."
Shi Yi was also fed a mouthful of dog food by the two of them during the past few days. Naturally, he didn't want to stay with the two of them anymore.
After saying that, Shi Yi's figure disappeared in front of the two of them. The moment Shi Yi disappeared, Xiao Wu's voice reached Shi Yi's ears.
"Shi Yi! I'm going to tear your mouth apart!"
Tang San also quickly grabbed Xiao Wu and stopped Xiao Wu from chasing Shi Yi.
Soto City is much larger than Noting City, and naturally much more lively. Patrolling soldiers can be seen everywhere on the streets, and there is a bustling flow of people.
Shi Yi first found a good-looking restaurant to order something, and then started looking for a place to stay. After a short time, Shi Yi discovered a very unique hotel.
The hotel is three stories high. Although it doesn't look too big, the exterior decoration is completely rose red. The architectural style of the entire hotel is like a huge rose, which can easily make people look at it. Bright feeling.
Shi Yi looked at this hotel and smiled and shook his head. Shi Yi, who had seen too many high-rise buildings, did not think this hotel was romantic, but rather thought it was extremely exaggerated.
Then Shi Yi booked a room in a normal-looking hotel and continued to wander around Soto City.
After a brief inquiry in the city, Shi Yi found Flanders' shop in Soto City.
The door of the shop was open, and it looked a little dark inside. When Shi Yi walked in, he felt many soul power fluctuations of different attributes.
"It seems that Flender's store still has good things." Shi Yi thought to himself.
Soul guides all carry soul power fluctuations. Shi Yi came here to learn and improve his level of making soul guides.
There was only one person in the shop, and there was no counter. There were some items hanging on the three walls. They all looked very old and did not look like they were valuable at all, but they emitted different fluctuations in soul power.
Flanders was sitting on a wooden recliner, his eyes closed as the chair swayed.
He looked to be about fifty years old. Although he was not young, he was very strong. The sturdy-looking recliner swayed and made a rattling sound under his weight.
Flanders has a very distinctive face, with a slightly protruding chin, wide cheekbones, a flat face, and a slightly hooked nose. If I have to use one thing to describe it, then I can only say that his face is a bit like the sole of a shoe. Although his eyes are closed, he looks a bit cunning.
He wears a pair of black-rimmed crystal glasses on his face. The frame is a rigid square shape, which gives it a weird feeling no matter how you look at it.
"Hello, can I take these items and take a closer look?" Shi Yi said to Flanders. Flanders opened his eyes on the recliner and saw the conspicuous belt on Shi Yi's white clothes. "Hey, where did you get this belt?"
Shi Yi smiled slightly and said: "The teacher gave it to me."
When Flanders heard this, his face darkened and he said, "You must be the one who let Xiaogang steal a lot of precious materials from me."
Shi Yi pretended to be confused and said: "What material? Do you know the teacher?"
Looking at Shi Yi's appearance, Flanders had a look of suspicion on his face and thought to himself, "Didn't Xiaogang tell this kid where the materials came from?"
Flanders didn't think too much. Anyway, he didn't leave any room for outsiders. He waved his hand casually towards Shi Yi and said: "You can watch it if you want, but don't inject soul power. Many soul guides are old and prone to explosion and damage." Original price compensation.”
After that, Flanders continued to sleep on his recliner
Looking at the outrageous numbers marked on the wall, Shi Yi was speechless. Without thinking much, Shi Yi took out his notebook and glasses from the soul tool, and then took off a soul tool from the wall to observe.
"Sure enough, the core array is damaged to varying degrees. Injecting soul power like this will of course explode." Shi Yi thought secretly in his heart.
Shi Yi observed, drawing the structures of various soul guidance devices in his notebook, noting various materials he could recognize, and also drew the corresponding core arrays.
Flanders suddenly opened his eyes without Shi Yi noticing, and watched Shi Yi concentrate on recording various soul tools. At this time, he seemed to see Yu Xiaogang back then.
"As expected of his disciple." Flanders sighed secretly in his heart.
At this moment, a voice broke the silence in the store, "Senior brother?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Shi Yi couldn't help but slowly come back to his senses, smiled at Tang San and said, "Xiao San."
Looking at the record book in Shi Yi's hand and the soul guide in Shi Yi's hand, Tang San also understood what Shi Yi was here to do, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I really can't take any time off for a moment."
Flanders' eyes flashed when he heard Shi Yi's words, and his sharp gaze fell on Tang San.
"Is this the little apprentice that Xiaogang said?" Flanders thought to himself.
"Shi Yi! I'm going to tear your mouth apart!" Xiao Wu shouted at Shi Yi, about to take action.
Flanders frowned slightly, sat down on the recliner, and said calmly: "If you break something, pay for it according to the price."
Xiao Wu subconsciously looked at the price marked on the wall and couldn't help but murmured: "How many carrots can you buy with so many zeros?"
Tang San also quickly grabbed Xiao Wu. Flanders gave him a very special feeling. If Dai Mubai in the hotel just now gave him the feeling of being sharp and sharp, then this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man was actually very special. Test.
Shi Yi didn't pay attention, smiled slightly and continued to do his own thing.
Seeing Shi Yi's unconcerned look, Flender's evaluation of Shi Yi instantly rose higher in his heart.
Upon seeing this, Tang San also bowed slightly towards Flanders and said, "I'm sorry, senior."
After saying that, he quickly pulled Xiao Wu away.
Flanders looked at the two people leaving, then looked at Shi Yi who was immersed in recording, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Looks like Shrek is going to get interesting."
As time went by, Shi Yi recorded one soul tool after another. There were dozens of different types of soul tools in Flanders, a small shop. These may have been the products of Flanders for so many years. experience.
After looking at the large items hanging on the wall, Shi Yi turned his attention to the small items randomly placed on the ground. Shi Yi was slightly startled when he saw the crystal hanging not far away.
"I was so excited to see the soul guide and so absorbed in the research that I forgot about it. Isn't hair crystal, a soft metal that can be deformed at will, suitable for making defensive soul guides?" Shi Yi thought to himself. .
Shi Yi said to Flanders: "How much does this crystal cost?"
"I've finally finished reading. I'm giving this to you. I'm going to close the door." Flanders slowly stood up and said.
Shi Yi was slightly startled and looked outside the door. It was already sunset.
Shi Yi also bowed slightly towards Flanders and said: "Sorry, I wasted your time, so I'm not polite."
Flanders' eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said with a black face: "You boy, you really know who I am!"
Shi Yi secretly complained in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "You are joking. It is our first time to meet today. Thank you very much for your help."
Flanders looked at Shi Yi suspiciously and said, "You really don't know who I am?"
"Shop owner." Shi Yi pretended to be confused.
"Okay, get lost." Flanders said angrily.
"Thank you for the crystal." Shi Yi smiled and bowed slightly towards Flanders again.
Shi Yi still has a very good feeling towards Flanders. Not just any soul saint can lay down his body to play with a great soul master, let alone the martial soul fusion skills. This also proves Yu Xiaogang's success from the side. He is a good person. You can see the quality of a person just by looking at his friends.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, look at Yu Xiaogang and Flanders, and then look at Tang San and the Shrek Seven Monsters, you will know what Tang San is.
After that, Shi Yi slowly left Flanders' shop.
