Chapter 280 Soul-Guided Prosthetic Limb
"A soul-guided prosthetic limb?" Xu Xingdou repeated Ye Nanxiao's words.
"Using the soul tool, I will recreate a brand new arm, making it indistinguishable from that of an ordinary person." Ye Nanxiao raised his hand, and a tiny ice sculpture arm appeared in his palm.
"But even if a soul-guided prosthetic arm can move freely like a normal person, it's hard to replace a real arm and unleash its full potential, right?" the young man standing behind Xu Xingdou said.
"Moreover, Grandpa Xingdou's status cannot be compared with that of ordinary people."
After the young man finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes for a long time and asked in a deep voice, "Xu Luoshu, if it can really replace the original arm, Grandma Xian'er wouldn't have such a headache."
Xu Luoshu hesitated for a moment, but seeing Xu Jiujiu's protective look, he felt a little resentful and immediately put his hesitation aside.
"Ye Nanxiao, it's not that I don't believe you, but even Elder Luo couldn't do it. What level of Soul Master are you? Even if you're a genius, you can't be a level nine Soul Master right now, can you?"
Xu Xingdou frowned slightly, raised his hand to stop Xu Luoshu from speaking, and scolded, "Alright, Luoshu, my health is fine. If there's hope, I'll try. I've taught you the principle of not judging a book by its cover!"
Ye Nanxiao wiped the frost off his hands and looked calmly at the two people in front of him.
Ye Nanxiao wasn't sure if the Soul Guidance Prosthetic could achieve the level of free flow of Soul Power and the ability to use Soul Skills, because Xuan Ziwen had only given him the old version of the technology; the data for the new version of the Soul Guidance Prosthetic was in the Mingde Hall's laboratory.
Xuan Ziwen was able to access the data of the old case of the Soul Guidance Prosthetics only because he was a researcher. However, the research project on the Soul Guidance Prosthetics was later brought into the laboratory by Jing Hongchen, and the experimental data of the old case was thus put into the history archive.
Xuan Ziwen had studied soul-guided prosthetics on his own for a period of time and believed that after the flow of soul power, using soul power to replace blood could achieve the purpose of normal activity.
When Ye Nanxiao got his hands on the data, he studied it for a day and made an experiment, but at the time there were no experimenters with missing bodies, so he had to put the research aside for the time being.
It's easy to make a soul-guided prosthetic arm for Xu Xingdou, but the difficult part is to make him use soul skills as freely as a normal arm.
Soul-guided prosthetics are different from ordinary soul tools. Ordinary soul tools are driven by inputting soul power, but soul-guided prosthetics not only need to be driven, but also need to be able to be controlled at will with precision.
"Young friend Ye, I wonder if you could make me a soul-guided prosthetic limb?" Xu Xingdou asked with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Xu Luoshu's expression changed slightly. He opened his mouth, but after being stared at for a long time, he finally swallowed his words back.
"Yes, but you need to provide your martial soul ability data so I can try to make a soul-guided prosthetic limb that fits you," Ye Nanxiao said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Xu Luoshu's expression changed drastically. He took a few steps forward, about to speak, when he heard a long, lingering voice transmission in his ear.
"If you dare to say a word, you won't need to come to any family gatherings from now on."
The undisguised threat left Xu Luoshu feeling resentful, and he could only retreat behind Xu Xingdou.
Ye Nanxiao looked at Xu Xingdou's changing expression and said, "I am an old friend of Elder Luo. I once entrusted a soul-guided prosthetic limb to Elder Luo. If Your Highness is interested, you may want to go and try Elder Luo first."
After a moment of silence, Xu Xingdou nodded. "In that case, I'll first go and try out this soul-guided prosthetic limb with Elder Luo. If it's suitable, then I'll trouble you, young friend Ye, to make one for me. Of course, the reward will be satisfactory!"
Ye Nanxiao nodded. He understood Xu Xingdou's hesitation. Martial Soul ability and Soul Skill are the most important secrets of a Soul Master.
After a long while, Xu Xingdou bid farewell and left with Ye Nanxiao.
"I'm sorry, Nanxiao. Grandpa Xingdou is usually a very kind person, but that Xu Luoshu has always been on the opposite side of my brother," Xu Jiujiu said apologetically.
"It's nothing. When it comes to one's own martial soul, no one will easily trust others," Ye Nanxiao said nonchalantly.
After all, he couldn't be sure if the soul-guided prosthetic could support the operation of the martial soul. If it could, Xu Tianran's own strength had probably recovered to more than 70%.
If he really recovered 70% of his strength, would Xu Tianran still need to play the fool and pretend to be weak while being wheelchair-bound?
"Let's go for a walk inside," Xu Jiujiu suggested.
Ye Nanxiao nodded. He was also very curious about the opera house and wanted to see its unique architectural style.
The two walked down the pale gold corridor. Ye Nanxiao became curious about the portraits hanging in the corridor and asked, "Are these portraits of the opera troupe's director?"
Xu Jiujiu shook his head slightly and said, "No, those are portraits of royal family members who love opera and are members who have funded the opera company."
Ye Nanxiao looked at the long corridor and the numerous portraits hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor, and his lips twitched slightly. Just how much do these people love opera?
Seemingly noticing the question in Ye Nanxiao's eyes, he chuckled softly after a long while, "The love of opera is a tradition passed down from generation to generation among the royal family. In the past, because the elders loved it so much, they would often bring their children and grandchildren to this opera house. As they came more often and their children and grandchildren grew up, this tradition was passed down."
"My brother used to bring me here often when we were little. I remember I drew my own portrait of my brother and me." After a long while, she looked through the portraits and found her own portrait at the very end.
"Nanxiao, look, this is what I drew when I was a child."
Ye Nanxiao looked at the richly colored oil painting for a while and said, "I think a sketch would better showcase your charm."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu's beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons, filled with Ye Nanxiao's reflection, and the corners of her mouth curved into a beautiful arc.
"Then next time, could you paint a picture for me?" Xu Jiujiu asked softly.
"Sure, you can draw it now," Ye Nanxiao nodded in agreement.
"No, I want to do it next time." Xu Jiujiu smiled slyly.
Stepping out of the corridor, you'll find yourself on the stage for the opera performance, where the actors are all standing.
Upon seeing Xu Jiujiu walking towards Ye Nanxiao arm in arm, the two actors playing the male and female leads were very excited and ran up to them.
"Your Highness, this story is so captivating!"
"Yes, Your Highness, this story is so beautiful! When can we begin rehearsing the ending?"
After a long pause, he glanced at Ye Nanxiao and smiled, "I still need to think about the ending of the story. Don't rush me, you two."
The actor playing the male lead turned his gaze to Ye Nanxiao's face, suddenly remembered something, and stared straight at Ye Nanxiao.
"Um, hello?" Ye Nanxiao felt a little awkward being stared at, so he reached out and greeted him.
The actor playing the male lead excitedly exclaimed, "Could it be...could it be that you are...Shuang?"
"Ah, hello, hello! Your performance was fantastic, your acting was superb, and the emotions you expressed in the play were very sincere, allowing the audience to be moved by your emotions and reach a level of resonance. Thank you so much for performing such an excellent work!" Ye Nanxiao quickly spoke up before the man could say that nickname.
Interrupted by Ye Nanxiao's sudden praise, the two quickly responded modestly.
Ye Nanxiao continued to praise them, and the two actors hurriedly returned to the team with satisfied smiles, so they could pass on Ye Nanxiao's praise to the rest of the team.
"Finally gone." Ye Nanxiao breathed a sigh of relief. Next time he'll use a pseudonym when giving himself a nickname.
Just as Ye Nanxiao was pondering how to make his alternate account more famous than his real name, Xu Jiujiu beside him was hanging her head, her delicate jade ears blushing.
"Nanxiao likes this story, he likes..." For a long time, the expression on Ye Nanxiao's face when he praised the story kept replaying in his mind.
As they left the opera house, Ye Nanxiao saw Xu Jiujiu off to her carriage and watched it depart.
"Looks like everything went smoothly tonight, boss." Feng Shiyi appeared behind Ye Nanxiao with her two younger sisters.
"Next time, let Little Ye No. 1 handle these things. It's too much trouble." Ye Nanxiao silently added an extra task to his clone.
Before they could return to Shadow Stream, Luo Rui descended from the sky and landed beside Ye Nanxiao.
"You kid, can you really make a soul-guided prosthetic limb?" Luo Rui asked.
Ye Nanxiao nodded, "Yes, I can, but I can only be like an ordinary person."
"Alright, kid, come with me." Luo Rui put his hand on Ye Nanxiao's shoulder and instantly disappeared with Ye Nanxiao.
A few seconds later, Luo Rui appeared in the explosion laboratory with Ye Nanxiao.
"Why are we here at the explosion lab?" Ye Nanxiao asked, taking off his tuxedo jacket, rolling up his sleeves, and looking puzzled.
Luo Rui glanced at Ye Nanxiao and said, "The new gadgets you brought out before blew up my lab more than ten times. Who knows if what you've brought out this time will be another explosive device?"
"Hey, this time we're getting a soul-guided prosthetic limb, how could this thing explode?" Ye Nanxiao felt he had been slandered.
"Then explain yourself, what was that exploding seat all about last time? Don't tell me it was a flying soul tool!" Luo Rui seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, staring at Ye Nanxiao with a sinister gaze.
"It's normal for there to be some unexpected things in a soul guidance experiment. Besides, as Sun Tzu's Art of War says, 'Victory comes from surprise!'" Ye Nanxiao argued.
"Alright, alright. Just now, Prince Xu Xingdou came to me asking for a soul-guided prosthetic limb, and he even said that you introduced him. I knew as soon as I heard that you were fishing for me again. How are you going to get a prosthetic limb for Prince Xingdou? This thing is not easy to get." Luo Rui asked.
"You know this thing?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
Luo Rui nodded, and said with great nostalgia, "I have an old friend in the Sun Moon Empire who has studied this thing."
"An old friend? It seems your old friend is of a pretty high level." Ye Nanxiao took out one rare metal after another from his storage ring.
"Yes, he's already a regimental commander leading troops, his rank is indeed high, it's a pity." Luo Rui sighed slightly, a look of dejection on his face.
Lu Zi shamelessly begs for a recommendation vote!
Thank you so much to all the readers who have read this book! And thank you to those who voted for it!
