Douluo 2: Way of Fake God With Soul Tools

Three Months Later.

Sixth-Grade Teaching Area, Seventh Laboratory.

Su Luoheng stood in front of the laboratory table, holding a small sky-blue metal ball in his left hand while his right hand swiftly moved a carving knife. His movements were precise and swift, with each cut just deep enough, leaving behind a series of soul guide patterns on the surface of the sky-blue metal ball.

The metal ball continuously rotated in his hand, and the carving knife in his right hand kept falling steadily.

Fine metal shavings lightly scattered onto the laboratory table.

Su Luoheng gradually immersed himself in the intricate lines and symbols, completely focused, as if he had forgotten the environment, time, and everything around him.

As time passed, the patterns on the surface of the metal ball became more complex and refined.

At the same time, a peculiar energy began to emanate from the metal ball.

Finally, when the last stroke was completed, Su Luoheng stopped and set down the carving knife. Gazing at the core formation that he had personally inscribed, he focused his mind, and soul power slowly flowed from his palm into the formation. Instantly, the metal ball emitted a dazzling and brilliant light!

The second-level soul guide core formation was complete!

Holding the second-level soul guide core formation in his hands, Su Luoheng couldn't help but let a satisfied smile appear at the corners of his mouth.

Three months of hard work had finally brought him to this moment of achievement.

"Teacher, I've succeeded."

"Good, good, good! Luoheng, you've done an excellent job—better than I expected! Mastering soul guide patterns in just three months—let me announce that from this moment on, you are officially a second-level Soul Engineer! You're also the first in the second grade to reach this level!"

Ran Yuming stroked his long beard with satisfaction, a smile of pride spreading across his face.

Su Luoheng, his student, had become a second-level Soul Engineer!

The core formation of the second-level soul guide he had just completed was the final requirement for achieving this rank.

From the day Su Luoheng began studying under Ran Yuming to today, three months had passed. During that time, Su Luoheng had completed five different types of soul guides and had thoroughly mastered soul guide patterns. His rate of progress far exceeded Ran Yuming's expectations. Such talent was extremely rare in the Sun-Moon Empire.

Ran Yuming felt a surge of excitement!

After all, Su Luoheng was only ten years old. A ten-year-old second-level Soul Engineer!

This was an extremely rare occurrence in the entire history of Soul Engineers in the Sun-Moon Empire. It was clear that Su Luoheng's future was bound to be brilliant!

Achieving this in three months was not just due to talent.

His ability to analyze soul techniques was one factor, but Su Luoheng's own hard work was another.

Ran Yuming was grateful that he had decisively accepted Su Luoheng as his student three months ago. A talented and hardworking student like this was hard to come by.

"Luoheng, well done!"

"Teacher, you're too kind. It's all thanks to your guidance."

Su Luoheng responded with rare humility, though it was indeed true that Ran Yuming had been an excellent teacher.

If Su Luoheng had continued learning about soul guides the way he had before, it would have taken until he reached level 20 to become a second-level Soul Engineer.

"Hahaha…"

Ran Yuming patted Su Luoheng's shoulder, teasing him with a smile. "Hey, you've even learned to be humble now, Luoheng? That's not like you!"

Su Luoheng grinned, "Hehe, didn't you tell me to be modest?"

Ran Yuming chuckled and tossed him a badge. "Here, this is your second-level Soul Engineer badge. Keep it well."

Su Luoheng thanked him, catching the exquisitely crafted, water-blue octagonal badge in both hands. The two diamonds embedded in it, symbolizing his rank as a second-level Soul Engineer, sparkled with dazzling brilliance under the sunlight.

Running his fingers over the smooth, water-blue badge, the soft and pleasant texture made Su Luoheng clench his hand slightly. He took a deep breath and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "At last… I'm finally a second-level Soul Engineer."

Being able to complete five second-level soul guides within three months was not only a testament to Su Luoheng's remarkable talent as a Soul Engineer, but also a reflection of the immense effort he put in. During this period, he immersed himself in the study of soul guides every day, often staying in the laboratory until late at night before finally returning to his dormitory to rest.

Talent and hard work went hand in hand.

Fortunately, his efforts were not in vain.

At the moment of reaping the fruits of his labor, all the hardships he had endured proved to be worthwhile.

This badge, symbolizing his status as a second-level Soul Engineer, was the best evidence of his accomplishment.

"I did it, I'm now a second-level Soul Engineer."

"Yes, you did very well."

At the same time, as Su Luoheng pinned the second-level Soul Engineer badge to his chest, his teacher, Ran Yuming, also smiled in satisfaction.

A teacher's pride naturally comes from the success of their disciple!

Suddenly recalling something, Su Luoheng spoke up, "Oh, right, Teacher, I've finished reading the books you gave me last time."

"Go ahead and pick a few more from the bookshelf."

"Okay."

Su Luoheng then walked to the bookshelf with familiarity and began searching for new books.

Over the past few months, he had thoroughly familiarized himself with the laboratory, largely because he was responsible for cleaning the lab every week...

Teacher Ran had called it "training."

Meanwhile, Ran Yuming was contemplating Su Luoheng's future study plans.

Whether a Soul Master or a Soul Engineer, soul power was of utmost importance.

As a second-level Soul Engineer, Su Luoheng had already reached the upper limit of what his current soul power could support. To progress further, he would first need to achieve a breakthrough in his soul power.

However, advancing soul power was not something that could be rushed.

It seemed that his studies in soul guide technology could be put on hold temporarily, allowing him to focus on cultivating his soul power and training as a Soul Master.

With this in mind, Ran Yuming advised, "Luoheng, you've made rapid progress as a Soul Engineer, but you shouldn't neglect your training as a Soul Master."

"Don't worry, Teacher. I feel like my soul power is about to break through."

"Close to level eighteen?" Ran Yuming raised an eyebrow.

"Yep."

Su Luoheng nodded, patting his chest with youthful confidence shining in his expression.

Although he had mainly focused on soul guide work recently, every time he inscribed a core formation, it had also served as a form of soul power training. As a result, his soul power had steadily increased over this period.

Hearing this, Ran Yuming felt reassured.

At the same time, his thoughts became more active: with Su Luoheng's talent, he might now be eligible for some valuable resources.

For instance, the elixirs and spirit fruits prepared for the academy's core students.

He remembered that the last batch of elixirs with no side effects had been produced just a week ago, so there should still be a considerable amount left in the academy's storage.

Ran Yuming decided it was worth trying to obtain some.

After all, his disciple was a ten-year-old second-level Soul Engineer!

At this age, achieving such a level as a Soul Engineer said everything there was to say.

Tsk tsk~

There were people who doubted his judgment before, but now, if they knew his disciple had already reached the rank of second-level Soul Engineer, their reactions would surely be priceless.

Especially Lin Jiayi!

With this thought, Ran Yuming stroked his long beard, a playful glint flashing in his eyes.

Now, he was looking forward to what would come next.
