Chapter 66: The Everchanging Core — Becoming Elder Mu’s Disciple
Zhou Sichen had no idea that during the last Sea God's Pavilion meeting, his clearance level had already been upgraded to the highest authority within Shrek Academy.
After dinner with Ma Xiaotao that evening, Zhou Sichen returned to his villa's cultivation chamber and resumed work on his life-bound soul tool.
From Fan Yu, he had obtained a number of rare and valuable materials—enough to integrate with the Skydream Shedding and bring some of his design concepts to life.
He had also brought along several pieces of precision equipment for smelting these special materials.
Inside the secret chamber, Zhou Sichen released his main martial soul, and his platinum-colored first soul ring glowed as Spiritual Detection activated.
He began combining the pre-smelted materials with the Skydream Shedding and, with Blazing Sun in hand, began inscribing a Class 5 core soul array.
The previously inscribed Class 4 core array was removed. With Spiritual Detection and Blazing Sun, Zhou Sichen's speed and precision in crafting arrays improved dramatically.
In just a single night, he had completed one-third of the work.
Originally, he had intended to finish the soul tool in one go, but by morning, Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo had already come looking for him.
When Zhou Sichen stepped out of the chamber and opened the villa door, he was met with two pairs of glowing, excited eyes.
The two men looked at him as if he were some priceless treasure. They shared the details of the Ultimate Soldier Program with him, as well as the immense resources and privileges he would receive as part of it.
