Douluo 2: Way of Fake God With Soul Tools

Their movements were not slow, but Su Luoheng was even faster.

Taking advantage of this free time, he began to recover his soul power.

Just now, from carving the core array to forging the sword body, he had consumed nearly eighty percent of his soul power.

Meanwhile…

On the high platform, Ran Ruobing had been keeping an eye on Su Luoheng.

Seeing that he had actually completed the assessment an hour ahead of time, a slight fluctuation of surprise flashed through her beautiful eyes as she thought to herself, "This kid does have some talent, huh? But monitoring this exam is really too boring. With this wasted time, I could have already made an eighth-level soul tool."

"I'll never come again..."

Thinking of the person who had coaxed her into supervising the assessment, Ran Ruobing idly played with her fingers, a hint of grievance flashing in her beautiful eyes. But it quickly disappeared. She raised her head, glanced around, and reminded everyone, "There is still one hour left until the end of the assessment."

Hearing this, the freshmen who were progressing slowly began to speed up. No one wanted to be the one who couldn't produce a decent soul tool in the end.

Being able to become a first-level soul engineer at their age meant they were all proud and didn't accept defeat easily. If they couldn't even complete the assessment, that would be truly humiliating!

However, sometimes the more anxious you are, the more mistakes you make.

...

...

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, the three-hour assessment period was over.

"Time's up!"

Ran Ruobing stood up, looked around coldly, and said, "Everyone, regardless of whether you succeeded or not, stop now. Place your finished or unfinished work on the test bench. Those who successfully crafted a soul tool, stand on my right; those who did not, stand on my left."

With Ran Ruobing's order, the freshmen quickly split into two groups: one to the left and one to the right.

A quick glance showed that there were more people on the right who had successfully crafted a soul tool.

There were a total of forty-five freshmen participating in the level-up assessment. One had already been eliminated during the written exam, and now, another twelve had failed to complete their soul tools within the allotted time.

At this moment, these twelve people looked across, then at each other, and all lowered their heads in shame.

Some of them could have completed the assessment, but due to external factors like time pressure or nervousness, they were unable to perform at their best.

But failure is failure.

Life has always been like this; there are no chances to reload and try again.

The only thing they could do was remember this failure and not fall into the same trap twice.

Therefore, she showed no emotional fluctuation.

"Those who have successfully completed, take your crafted soul tools and follow me to the back for testing."

After arranging the passing students, Ran Ruobing turned around and specifically instructed, "As for the rest of you… you can wait here or come with us. However, until the testing is completely finished, no one is allowed to leave early. Understood?"

"Yes," both groups of students responded in unison.

Ran Ruobing nodded. Her senior brother had specifically reminded her that under no circumstances should the students be allowed to walk alone.

Everyone must leave together, whether they succeeded or failed.

...

...

Soul Tool Testing Area

Most of the freshmen followed Ran Ruobing to the testing area, leaving only two or three still at the test bench.

For a moment, they found it hard to accept their failure.

Although the testing area was similar in size to the crafting area, it appeared much larger because there were no test benches. The entire space was equipped with a soul tool testing device to check whether the soul tools met the standard, as well as ten soul tool platforms in the shape of arenas.

Su Luoheng looked around.

When he saw those arena platforms, he felt that this soul tool test might not be so simple.

Why else would these platforms be set up?

While he was thinking this, Ran Ruobing had already led the group in front of the soul tool testing device.

This was also a unique soul tool technology of the Sun-Moon Empire.

Even within the country, only the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy had the qualification and ability to promote it on a large scale.

Depending on the level of the soul tool being tested, the device would correspond to various levels.

For example, the soul tool testing device in the freshmen's testing area was a simplified version designed to test first-level soul tools, so its level only needed to be at the second level.

"This is a soul tool testing device. As long as you place your soul tool on it, it will detect whether it meets the standard for a first-level soul tool."

"Now, everyone line up and bring your soul tools forward for testing."

"..."

Hearing this, the freshmen started to take action.

Each of them had a rough idea of the quality of the soul tool they had crafted. Those who were confident stood at the front with their soul tools, while those who were unsure stood at the back. Su Luoheng did not care much about these details and stood in a middle-back position without competing for the front.

Soon, under Ran Ruobing's direction, the first freshman placed the soul tool they had made onto the platform of the testing device.

The soul tool was a heavy sword, a close-combat type soul tool.

"What's your name?"

"Wenqu."

Ran Ruobing opened the register, found the corresponding name, then placed her palm on the groove on the side of the soul tool testing device. As she injected soul power, the device activated, and a bright white light scanned the entire soul tool from top to bottom. Each time it scanned, its data was compiled by Ran Ruobing.

After about a minute, the light from the soul tool testing device gradually faded.

At the same time, a set of data appeared on the display screen behind it.

The assessment covered material strength, core array integrity, overall compatibility, and more.

"Wenqu, first-level close-combat soul tool heavy sword, qualified."

Ran Ruobing opened the scorebook, recorded a score for Wenqu's soul tool based on the data from the testing device, then pointed to the right side.

"Take your soul tool and stand over here. Next, register your name before testing."

"Su Yu."

"Begin."

"Qualified."

"..."

"Incomplete core array, unqualified."

"Unfinished outer shell, unqualified."

"..."

One by one, the freshmen stepped forward for testing.

The soul tool testing device continued to flash with white light, and overall, most of the soul tools were qualified.

Among the soul tools being tested, in addition to the standard close-combat and long-range types, some students chose simpler auxiliary life tools, such as amplification soul tools, illumination soul tools, freezing soul tools, heating soul tools, etc. These tools, meant for daily life, were relatively easy to make.

However, this also indirectly demonstrated the strength of the Sun-Moon Empire's soul tool technology. The wide variety of soul tools far surpassed that of the Douluo Three Kingdoms, solidifying the Sun-Moon Empire's reputation as the most advanced on the Douluo Continent today.
