Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Second Skill Training Simulation.
As soon as the system notification rang in his mind, a stream of multicolored light entered his Kāma seal.
His Kāma martial soul lit up with a golden-red light and started to spreads across the right side of his body, forming angular and curving geometric patterns, extending up to his right eye, and then glowed with red-gold.
"!!"
Rayne felt a massive surge in strength and soul power. If it weren't for his Six Eyes granting him almost perfect energy control, he wouldn't have been able to control this sudden temporary increase in strength.
After a few seconds, the red-gold patterns over his body started to fade away, and his soul power returned to its normal state.
Rayne then looked through all the memories he had just got from the skill training simulation card. It contained all of his medicine refining experiences and his pharmacology research, as well as hundreds of magical medicine recipes.
After taking a few minutes to fully digest the new memories, Rayne had a happy smile on his face.
The results of this simulation card far exceed his expectations.
At the same time, he truly became aware of, just how much of a cheating device, the Six Eyes are, in terms of learning and understanding complex topics.
At the same time, Rayne didn't feel any aversion towards these newfound memories. And he knew the reason for this phenomenon.
These memories are technically his own memories. As it was a part of his own soul with his memories the experienced the simulation life. Although, he did not get the life experience of this simulated life and only got the memories related to the selected Skill. There are quite a bit of restrictions on this level of simulation card. The word 'intermediate' on the card makes sense.
Anyway…
"The first use of skill training simulation card is a grand success. I was only expecting some more pill recipes on the level of mystic water pill, and the knowledge on immortal herbs. But the results blew my mind. To think my pharmacology skills had reached divine level."
"Anyway, let's use the second simulation card. As for the skill… let's chose soul guidance device technology! This is one of the highlighted aspects of Douluo continent. No matter which world, knowledge of advanced technology is always reliable, even if it's not the most important." Rayne mused to himself inwardly.
As for the second skill for the skill training simulation card, Rayne chose Soul Guidance Device Technology.
In Douluo continent, the Soul Tool or Soul Guidance Device are incredibly influential and powerful.
It is an era changing or era defining technology/skill.
Whether it is the second part of the Douluo series or the third part.., the influence of the soul tools and it's development is quite clear in the future generations.
Not to mention mecha and the battle armors/Dou Kai armors from 20,000 years in the future. The Battle Armors have even grown to the point of completely surpassing 100,000-year-old soul bones, in terms of granting the greatest combat power bonuses to spirit masters.
Anyway, the spirit tool technology is very powerful in Douluo continent.
…
After Rayne made his decision, he crushed a skill training simulation card and a purple light screen appeared before him.
[Please enter the skill for this training simulation.]
"Soul Guidance Device Technology." Rayne said.
[Input detected. Please select the realm to carry out the simulation from the following.]
[1. Original Douluo Continent Themed Realm(White) : A world with exact same level of resources and knowledge as your current world.]
[2. Douluo Dalu Past Era themed plane(Light Purple): A world that possess the exact level of resources and knowledge as Douluo continent 20,000-years in the Past.]
[3. Douluo Continent Second Part Themed Plane(Black): A world that possess the exact level of resources and knowledge as Douluo continent 10,000-years in the future.]
"What? Where's the option for the third part of soul land? Where is my golden legend? What's going on with these options? System?"
Rayne was baffled after seeing the options in the world selection panel. This is vastly different from the previous one.
The only decent option seems to be the third option, which is the world similar to second part of soul land.
But, Rayne wasn't really satisfied with this option.
While the second part of soul land era is completely superior to the current era in terms of soul tool technology.
To be honest, there is no comparison. The soul tool technology itself is lost in the current timeline.
Even so, the second part of soul land era doesn't have Battle Armor and other more advanced soul tool technology that Rayne truly wants.
The soul tools of Peerless Tang Sect era isn't of much use to him personally.
Rayne has unparalleled combat power on the same level. And even more than 20 to 30 ranks above him, he is still capable of dealing with it solely relying on his quality level of his soul power.
So, soul tools at the same rank or even a few levels above him is of little use to him. There is a reason why most of the spirit masters of Shrek academy during Peerless Tang Sect era disdained using soul tools.
To Rayne, most of the soul tools don't give him much combat power boost. Only the Battle Armor is of much interest to him.
After hearing Rayne question, the system replied.
[The world options are randomly drawn. If host want better options, you can only pray for good luck. Host has to chose from the given options and make the most of it. Because, the world options cannot be refreshed, nor the simulation card can be taken back after the skill has been input.]
"…. I choose the third option." Rayne said with an unwilling look.
But what else could he do?
"The damn RNG! I can't escape Gacha even in another world?!"
The system clearly said everything that need to be said, and he needed to make do with what is available.
[You have selected the Douluo Continent Second Part themed world No.52.]
"…"
[Your starting point and the environment in Skill Training Simulation will be very focusing on the designated skill.]
[You have been granted a 25% bonus comprehension ability for this simulation.]
"The comprehension bonus… That's right! I have Six Eyes! I can simply further develop the soul tool technology to the best I can."
[Would you like to start the Skill Training Simulation?]
"Yes!"
As soon as he answered, he felt a nail-sized blue ball of light come out from his forehead. Just like the previous time. This blue ball of light is a combination of a drop of his blood and a small fragment of his soul.
Thankfully, he has already confirmed that his soul fragment is always returned to him via the Kāma seal. Although he doesn't feel any obvious increase in spiritual strength during this process, he could feel his Kāma seal undergoing incredible changes.
Although both Six Eyes and Kāma martial soul are ranked the highest level god-rank martial souls… the Kāma martial soul still has the tag, 'Growth-type' on it.
Now he has understood why this martial soul is considered a growth type, despite being the highest rank already.
Every time a 'life data' is input into the Kāma martial soul, it grows.
…
The second skill training simulation has begun.
[Year 0: You are born to a high-level family that hosts the highest level Soul Engineer in the continent. A class 10 Soul Engineer.]
[Year 3: You start learning the theoretical knowledge of soul tools. There is no shortage of high quality soul tool theory books in the family you are born.]
[Your parents and your grandfather, who is the class 10 Soul Engineer, are amazed at your desire to learn about soul tools at a young age. Your grandfather praises you as a genius.]
[At the same time, you have already started to cultivate your physical body and secretly cultivate 'Records of Primordial Evil' technique.]
[But you feel that, this cultivation technique greatly reduces your cultivation speed. You don't want to become a God King or anything of the sort this time. You simply want to develop and understand soul tools as much as possible. And for a Soul Engineer, soul power rank is very important.]
[So you created a new cultivation technique based on the foundation of your original cultivation technique. Only, this cultivation technique only gives you 1-turn quality energy at best. But the biggest merit is that, it grants a ten times cultivation speed bonus. You will only be comparable to ordinary top-level spirit masters, but you will have unparalleled cultivation speed.]
[Year 6: You have learned all the theoretical knowledge as soon as possible. You awakened your two God level martial souls, stunning your family.]
[You start your official practical learning of how to make soul tools. With the Six Eyes, your speed at learning soul tool production methods are unprecedented.]
[Year 7: You waited a year at your grandfather's advice to strengthen your body to absorb better soul ring. You absorbed a 1,500-year-old purple soul ring to you Kāma martial soul, greatly surprising your grandfather. Your soul power rank reached 20, shocking your grandfather. This was the result of your three years of secret cultivation before martial soul awakening.]
[Your grandfather simply attributed this abnormal increase in soul power to your God level martial souls, as he could not find any other explanation.]
[After checking your improved physical quality, your grandfather got you a 6,000-year-old soul ring. After absorbing it, you've reached rank 24. Your grandfather gave you an immortal grass out of nowhere and asked you to absorb it according to the method he described.]
[You feel that it is somewhat of a waste to directly take this immortal herb, when you can refine it into a more effective pill. But you can't expose your past life knowledge, so you consume the immortal herb according to your grandfather's method.]
[But secretly, you use a more advanced method to better refine and absorb the medicinal energy of the immortal herb. Your soul power reached rank 30. And you feel that it will be more than rank 35 after getting a soul ring.]
[Your grandfather gets you a 15,000-year-old black soul ring. He doesn't doubt that you can't withstand the soul shock, as he has already known of your immense spiritual strength due to Six Eyes martial soul.]
[After absorbing the black soul ring, you reached rank 40 directly. Your grandfather is dumbfounded by this series of events. He even had a hallucination that you might just reach level 50 after the next soul ring, although this guess is rather ridiculous.]
[Your grandfather got you a 30,000-year-old black soul ring. After absorbing it, you've reached rank 45. Your grandfather inadvertently heaved a sigh for some reason. You have become the youngest Rank 45 Soul Ancestor/Sect in the history of the continent. A seven-year-old Soul Ancestor is unprecedented.]
[Year 8: You have become a class 4 Soul Engineer in just one year. The passive ability, Super Comprehension, of Six Eyes allowed you unparalleled learning speed. At the same time, you reached rank 50 of soul power and absorbed a 50,000-year-old soul ring and became a Soul King.]
[Your grandfather was dazzled at your inhumane talent. In his name, he declared you the strongest genius he has ever seen.]
[Year 10: You have become a Class 6 Soul Engineer and have already become a Soul Emperor. Your grandfather got you a 'Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum' immortal herb to further strengthen your body, and had you absorb a 90,000-year-old soul ring.]
[Year 12: You have become a Soul Saint and a Quasi-Class 8 Soul Engineer. Your grandfather got you a 100,000-year-old soul beast for you. A red soul ring and a 100,000-year-old soul bone.]
[After absorbing both of them, your soul power rank reached 75.]
[Year 13: By the time you are less than two months away from reaching the age of fourteen, You've broke through rank 80. Your grandfather got you a 250,000-year-old Great Beast. It is even a dragon-type soul beast.]
[You absorbed both the soul ring and soul bone and reached rank 85 in soul power. Your grandfather then gave you two more leg soul bones, which are both of more than 100,000-years-old. After absorbing it, you've reached rank 89. And soon you'll be able to break through to rank 90.]
[Even though you know that this is a simulated world… How you wish you had such an invincible grandfather in real life.]
[Year 14: You've reached rank 90 and your grandfather got you a 500,000-year-old Great beast. It wasn't particularly hard for your grandfather who is a demigod rank 99, as well as, a Class 10 Soul Engineer.]
[You successfully broke through to Titled Douluo Realm. Along with the 500,000-year-old soul bone, your grandfather gave you two more soul bones of 100,000-year quality. After absorbing the three soul bones along with the 500,000-year-old soul ring, you've broken through to rank 95 Super Douluo. And that too with a full set of high-level soul bones.]
[You are the youngest Titled Douluo in history. A 15-year-old Titled Douluo. Your fame spread throughout the continent. At the same time, you started to condense the soul rings of Six Eyes martial soul.]
[Year 15: A few months later, you've successfully become a Class 9 Soul Engineer. You become more famous.]
[Year 18: With the personal guidance of your grandfather, you become a Class 10 Soul Engineer with just three years of hard work.]
[You have reached the current pinnacle of the soul tool technology. But you have no intention of stopping.]
[Year 19: You start learning blacksmithing. Becoming a blacksmith is difficult, especially when advancing in rank. Blacksmithing is a profession that's energy-demanding to the extreme. The only way they can climb to higher ranks is with a strong body, an abundance of blood essence, and a clear mind.]
[Surprisingly, you are able to learn blacksmithing fairly easily. Because of your standard limit-exceeding Soul rings and a full set of 100,000-year-old level soul bones, you easily exceed the highest physical requirements for blacksmithing. And with your Six Eyes, you are fully capable of perfectly controlling your strength to any degree necessary.]
[Year 23: You've reached rank 99 Limit Douluo. And for further cultivation, you simply switch to a higher level cultivation method of 3-turn level energy.]
[Year 25: You've managed to reach the initial stages of Divine Blacksmith after almost 7 years of hard work. You are said that this is the highest level by your blacksmithing mentors. But you know that there are more higher levels. You know that there are 10 more ranks in the level of Divine Blacksmith.]
[Year 33: After more than eight years of hard work, you've reached the level of 9th rank Divine Blacksmith.]
[The limit of 9th Rank Divine Blacksmith is Alloyed Forging of Seven Heavenly Refined Metals. If one could use the divine consciousness and divine power while forging to be able to surpass the number 7 limit, it is 10th Rank Divine Blacksmith.]
(A/N: The Heavenly Refined Metals are the refining of Soul life metals while enduring heavenly tribulation lightning.)
[You realize that, to reach the 10th Rank Divine Blacksmith, it is impossible without becoming a God. While your spiritual strength has long reached Divine Origin Realm, your soul power hasn't been transformed into Divine energy and your body hasn't fully reached God-level. But you feel that you're very close to God rank, and will soon reach that level.]
[Year 34: You've had enough of blacksmithing. Anyway, you've reached the necessary requirements.]
[You focus back on the development of Soul Tool technology.]
[At the same time, you break through to Rank 100 God without a God Position.]
[Year 35: You used your authority as the strongest person on the continent to gather all of the high level Soul Engineers. You discuss your ideas to them about further developing the soul tool technology.]
[While a lot of them didn't agree to cooperate with you, a large number of Soul Engineers including your grandfather agreed to your proposal.]
[The great revolution of Soul Tool technology has begun.]
[Year 47: For more than ten years, your group has been researching various possibilities and invented various new and vastly advanced soul tools. You are the main contributor.]
[Unlike with blacksmithing, which mostly requires physical practice and enlightenment rather than comprehension and understanding… your speed at which you further learn and develop newer versions of soul tool technology is incredibly faster thanks to the cheating device of Six Eyes.]
[You've reproduced most of the modern age technology you still remember in the form of soul tool technology. Automobiles, Trains, Airplanes, Jet Planes and Helicopters, Communication devices, computers etc.,]
[Thanks to your Divine blacksmithing skill and gathering most of the decent blacksmiths over the world, you've managed to create mecha and battle armors.]
[Year 48: The entire continent has greatly advanced in terms of technology in just a matter of ten years. All the people of the continent called you 'God of Technology'.]
[Your Cultivation has reached Rank 109, still without God Position.]
[Year 49: Unknowingly, you have gathered faith from all over the world and can establish your God Position at anytime.]
[Year 55: You created your own God position, the First-Class God 'God of Technology'. The entire continent celebrated for you.]
[Your energy level has greatly increased over the years thanks to collecting massive amounts of faith. Everyone in the continent believes you to be the pioneer of the era.]
[You didn't ascend to Divine Realm immediately and continued to stay in the mortal realm.]
[Year 70: The continent has advanced by more than 20,000 years into the future in terms of technological development.]
[Year 85: You are still in research. You've managed to create Divine-level Soul tools.]
[Year 90: You are still in research. You've managed to create stronger Divine-level Soul Tools.]
[Year 95: You are still in research.]
[Year 100: You mysteriously vanish from the world. The people believe that you've ascended to Divine Realm. While the gods of Divine Realm are clueless about your whereabouts.]
[The Skill training simulation is over.]
…..
"…"
Looking at the simulation panel, Rayne didn't know what to say. This simulation was way more intense than the last one.
"I guess my affinity for learning soul tool was very high to begin with?"
"And… This seems to be the second time I've become a God in simulation. Is becoming a God that easy? Or am I underestimating myself?"
Rayne doubted himself. He is self-aware that he is a genius, even in his past life.
But… it seems his talent is stronger than he had thought. Now that he thought about it, he never truly gave it his all in anything other preparing for harem, which obviously wouldn't allow him to fully display his natural talent.
[The simulation is over.]
[Reward: All Soul Guidance Technology related skill experience from the simulated life.]
As soon as the system notification resounded, a huge amount of memories flowed into his mind, and Rayne had new memories all about Soul tool technology and blacksmithing as well. All the knowledge of various soul tools its production methods. And the complete experience of a 10th Rank Divine Blacksmith as well, appeared in his mind.
It seems like Blacksmithing skills are also closely related to a lot of soul guidance device technology, so the reward also includes blacksmithing.
[Ding! Special feature of Kāma Martial Soul has been activated. The genetic data and combat data of your simulated version has been recorded in the Kāma seal.]
As soon as the system notification rang in his mind, a stream of multi-coloured light entered his Kāma seal.
But this time, he didn't lose control of his Kāma martial soul. The diamond shaped mark on his palm simply glowed brilliantly in red-gold for a while. It stopped after a few seconds.
At the same time, after sorting out his new memories, Rayne felt that he was at the pinnacle already in both pharmacology and soul guidance technology. He even has the full experience of 10th Divine blacksmith.
"Now then, what to choose for the final skill training simulation card? I am not lacking in any auxiliary path. If anything, I've reached the Divine level in those aspects."
"Now, what I am lacking the most is… understanding of Spirit Master Power System. If I can thoroughly understand it and the workings of soul rings, soul bones, martial souls and even about soul beasts… then, I'm fully set to reign supreme in this world."
Rayne pondered for a bit, then made his decision.
"Okay! For the final skill training simulation card, I'll chose Research of Spirit Master Power System."
