Chapter 53 Sealed Baby Bottle
Chapter 53 Sealed Baby Bottle
Ye Chenxing stood on the podium, his gaze slowly sweeping across the audience. The faces filled with disdain and contempt did not provoke him in the slightest.
He simply smiled slightly, cleared his throat, and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Distinguished seniors, esteemed masters." His voice wasn't loud, but each word was clear and steady, resonating in every corner of the classroom.
Instead of immediately explaining soul tools, he changed the subject and began to elaborate on his own ideas.
"I believe that the future of soul tools should not be limited to serving soul masters, nor should they simply be weapons that make people stronger."
"It should reach every household and every field, so that everyone can enjoy the convenience brought by Soul Guidance Technology. It should cover medical care, production, communication, and even entertainment."
Upon hearing this, a few Soul Masters in the audience raised their eyebrows slightly, revealing a hint of interest, but most others showed even more disdain.
The Soul Masters present were all figures standing at the pinnacle of the entire continent. They devoted their entire lives to pursuing the pinnacle of power, a Soul Tool capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, surpassing even Super Douluo or Ultimate Douluo.
Why would you want to use soul tools to serve ordinary people who don't even have soul power? Not many people would bother researching something so thankless and exhausting.
Ye Chenxing took in everyone's reactions.
"As for how to achieve this goal—"
He calmly took an item from his storage soul tool and gently patted it on the lectern.
"Naturally, it depends on it."
All eyes turned to it, and there it was—an ordinary-looking level four baby bottle.
There was no reaction from the audience. In the eyes of these level eight and nine soul masters, level four baby bottles were more common than stray dogs on the roadside.
Just then, a perfectly timed question rang out.
Xu Ping asked earnestly, "Tower Master, in my opinion, this is just an ordinary baby bottle. Please tell us, what's so special about it?"
Ye Chenxing raised an eyebrow slightly.
So this is what they call the Tower Master? This Xu Ping…
He knows how to handle things!
He gave Xu Ping an approving look, then said loudly, "This baby bottle is indeed slightly different from the others."
As he spoke, he picked up the baby bottle and began to slowly infuse it with soul power. After a moment, he placed the bottle back on the table, letting it emit a soft glow.
"Huh?" Xia Xuanchen blinked, his head full of question marks.
What is this little guy doing? It's just a level 4 baby bottle, what's there to demonstrate?
Zheng Zhan, standing to the side, was so bored he was almost yawning.
However, at that moment, a figure suddenly stood up from the back row.
Everyone turned around and saw Xuan Ziwen staring intently at the ordinary-looking baby bottle on the lectern, as if he had been frozen in place, his eyes gleaming with disbelief.
They've taken the bait!
Ye Chenxing met his gaze and asked with a smile, "Young man, is there anything you'd like to say?"
Xuan Ziwen didn't care about the other person's address. He strode straight ahead and rushed to the front of the podium.
He didn't speak, but stretched out his hands and carefully held the baby bottle in his palms as if it were a priceless treasure. He examined it carefully, turning it over and over, not wanting to miss a single detail. The light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
After a long while, he finally raised his head, his voice trembling slightly as he looked at Kong Deming sitting beside him:
"Master Kong, this is...this is your work?"
Kong Deming sat there calmly, not even lifting his eyelids, completely ignoring him.
"Xuan Ziwen," Ye Chenxing's voice rang out again, with a hint of a smile, "this is my work. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
Xuan Ziwen turned his head, his deep gaze falling on the eleven or twelve-year-old boy in front of him, as if trying to see through him completely, followed by a long silence.
Finally, he let out a long sigh.
"Heroes have always emerged from among the young..." Xuan Ziwen shook his head, his tone full of emotion, "I never imagined that the bottle sealing technology that I had painstakingly researched for so long, which I thought was a groundbreaking breakthrough, would actually be... realized in such a perfect way by a young man."
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, Xuan Ziwen took a step back, solemnly cupped his hands, and bowed deeply to Ye Chenxing.
"Xuan Ziwen is willing to join the Star Tower. I hope Master Ye will not mind my previous rudeness."
Ye Chenxing's smile faded, and he extended his hand in a gesture of support, saying, "Teacher Xuan, you are too kind. You are most welcome. However, I really do not deserve the title of 'Master.' I am able to stand here today as your teacher entirely because of Elder Kong's arrangement."
He took out a badge engraved with a starry sky pattern from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.
Xuan Ziwen shook his head, accepted the badge with both hands, and said firmly, "The expert is the teacher. At least in the technology of sealing baby bottles, you can definitely be the teacher of all of us here."
Hearing this, Jing Hongchen's lips twitched involuntarily, and she silently muttered a complaint to herself:
This kid could probably be your teacher in every way...
As Xuan Ziwen returned to his seat with the badge, the atmosphere in the entire classroom completely changed.
The previously nonchalant and disdainful level nine soul masters were now all on edge. Their gazes turned to Xuan Ziwen, who had just taken his seat, their eyes filled with surprise and inquiry.
Sitting next to Xuan Ziwen, Li Haoyu, an eighth-level Soul Master, was the first to lean over and asked urgently in a low voice, "Teacher Xuan, that child... really invented the sealed baby bottle? This, this is impossible! I remember that was done by you..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already clear. As for the others, they would rather believe that all of this was a play arranged by Master Kong, and that Xuan Ziwen was just a puppet in the performance, than believe that a young boy had really solved a problem that even Xuan Ziwen couldn't completely solve.
Of course, in a sense, Xuan Ziwen was indeed Ye Chenxing's adopted son. He took out the sealed baby bottle precisely to get Xuan Ziwen to endorse him.
Moreover, his preparations went far beyond that.
Xuan Ziwen did not answer Li Haoyu. He just sat there silently, clutching the Star Tower badge tightly in his hand, his expression complicated.
This time, being surpassed by a junior in his most prized field was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him. But at this moment, he felt more anticipation than anything else.
What will become of the future envisioned by this genius who developed the sealed baby bottle, the Star Tower that covers medicine, communication, entertainment, and benefits everyone?
He was incredibly excited.
