The Legend of the Dragon King

“Yes, the veins precisely. The veins are similar to those in our bodies. Moreover, it’s based on human bionics and connected together by emulating human veins. These source cores are akin to our bodies. You can say they’re like cells connected to these veins. It’s intriguing and I wonder who the ingenious scientist is who came up with such an idea. I was truly emotional at the time, but I’d finally figured out what my pursuit was after all this time.”

“Hence, I began to experiment with connecting the source cores using the vein method. I succeeded as expected. I finally found the breakthrough after being stuck for so many years.”

At this point, her gaze was filled with excitement. Tang Wulin and the numerous Limit Douluos on the scene were all powerhouses at the pinnacle of this world. Yet, they were fearful of this ordinary person. They feared Ling Zichen.

Ling Zichen’s persistence in researching soul technology far surpassed the soul masters’ persistence in cultivating even! How insane was this young maiden? Yet, it was this very insanity that made her a prodigious scientist.

Ling Zichen did not pay attention to the expressions of others. She was completely immersed in her own world.

“When my experiments were successful one after another, I came up with a bold idea. Even I found the idea to be a little insane. Firstly, I came up with a hypothesis which was that the Eternal Heaven was actually a half-finished product. I don’t think those scientists intended to leave it incomplete. In any case, they only completed a portion of it.”

The Eternal Heaven was a half-finished product? As soon as the comment was made, the people on the scene were shocked.

Ling Zichen spoke with certainty, “I’ve proven this hypothesis through an experiment. The reason why I call it a half-finished product is due to those veins. The insides of the entire Eternal Heaven is formed with these source cores mapped according to the human venous system. Its outer shell and insides are incongruous. Although it’s a fixed soul ammunition, in my perception, its internal structure is outstanding as compared to its banal outer shell.”

“Afterward, I noticed a tiny inscription at a corner inside its outer shell. The inscription was composed of a few characters which said ‘Manmade Warrior’!”

“When I saw it, I was enlightened at once. I suddenly remembered a proposal made by a scientist many years ago. Soul masters may be powerful, but how do ordinary people like us utilize their soul energy? Is there a way we can transfer the soul energy into an ordinary person so that he or she can be as powerful as the soul masters?”

“For instance, I’m an ordinary person. My martial soul is crippled, and I’m utterly incapable of cultivation. However, I want to become powerful too. Thus, it has always piqued my interest to conduct research into this area which I’ve been doing all my life. As you can see, I’m the first person with a mecha implanted in my body. The Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit units are used for energy storage. I’ve made myself into a super warrior. Even though I’ve not mass produced it, I think it was a success for me at the time.”

“However, I’ve yet to achieve perfection after fusing the Eternal Heaven’s internal structure. Hence, I came up with a bold idea. What if I could transplant the massive number of Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit units from the Eternal Heaven into my body using human bionics technology and fused it with my mecha to turn myself into the Eternal Heaven? Will I then be able to become a powerhouse cum super warrior?”

“I carried out the simulations and performed multiple preliminary experiments. Based on the data, it was worth an attempt. But then, the Eternal Heaven belongs to the Tang Sect. It’s a strategic resource for the Tang Sect and Shrek. So, I don’t have the authority to utilize it in my experiment. Moreover, the experiment is highly risky. Up till now, it has been relatively smooth sailing. Anyway, I’ve been given the clearance to carry on the experiment. Haha. I can finally begin my experiment, and I’m overjoyed.”

The people stood gazing at one another not knowing what to do, especially Tang Wulin. He remembered what Ling Zichen had said in the command headquarters before. It seemed like she was doing it for the research. Perhaps, the consequences might not be as severe as she had described. Yet there was only one Eternal Heaven. She needed it if she were to continue with the experiment.

It was no longer apt for people to describe her as being insane anymore…

Ling Zichen heaved a soft sigh. “Actually, if I’ve adequate time, I may be able to produce such a vein source core too. However, the lack of resources makes it difficult. The Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit units which were used to make the Eternal Heaven in the past had consumed almost all the rare metals in the entire Federation! Hence, we don’t have much remaining in the Tang Sect. This is my only chance. I must seize the opportunity and not give up.”

It was truly her only chance to use the Eternal Heaven for the experiment. It was also the best opportunity for her to fulfill her dream.

Tang Wulin and the Heartless Douluo only understood her idea now. No wonder she was so persistent the other day now that they thought of it. Perhaps, the success rate was not as high as she had made it out to be, despite the fact that she had some success with it earlier.

Ling Zichen continued to speak, “My experiment is only considered fifty percent successful. In a sense, I have yet to fully achieve the goal. So far, my experiment and research have all been verified. I’ve also managed to fuse the Eternal Heaven with my mecha and transplanted it into my body. That’s why I was especially excited at the time and told you that I’ve succeeded. I really see the potential in mankind’s future development. You must remember this too. A super warrior can be made. In the future, we need to be even more powerful if we wish to explore the cosmos and confront the unknown. Producing super warriors is the path we need to take. It’s only by doing so that we can have more powerhouses to fight against formidable enemies. For instance, the abyssal creatures which we are incapable of defeating because there are too few of our high-ranked powerhouses. How many Title Douluos do we have? On the other hand, how many powerhouses of this rank are there in the abyssal plane?”

“The moment the Eternal Heaven cannon was launched, I realized the source of the problem. Although I refuse to acknowledge it, it’s the reality before me. My body’s too weak. I’ve the body of an ordinary human. Although I’ve carried out multiple attempts at genetic modification to strengthen my body, I’ve remained ordinary. My weapon enhanced human form is a success, but my body can’t withstand the side effects.”

“In other words, if Tang Wulin faced a similar situation and his body had been implanted with the Eternal Heaven, then he would be able to endure the reactive forces easily. He would regard the Eternal Heaven as a part of his body, as his weapon. On the other hand, the weapon is lethal to me. I’m doomed even after utilizing it once. Had it not been for Wulin’s protection at the time, I would have already turned into dust. Even then, it was Her Excellency, the Holy Spirit Douluo who saved my life.”

“Hence, the first thing I realized upon regaining consciousness was that an ordinary person could not possibly become a top grade powerhouse. My super warrior plan will still need soul masters. The future of mankind will be the fusion of Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit units with the soul masters. The soul master’s physique is able to withstand even more powerful soul weapons. This will be the path of mankind to explore the cosmos in the future, conquer other planets, and acquire more resources.”
