Chapter 37: Lightning Field. Magnetic Field Manipulation!
Zhang Lexuan and Lin Qinghan were both embarrassed by the accident earlier, and neither of them said anything more.
It was late at night, and they were obviously planning to spend another night in the Xingdou Great Forest.
Lin Qinghan had just finished absorbing his soul ring, so he was full of energy and took the initiative to offer to keep watch alone.
Zhang Lexuan didn't object too much, and after finishing her dinner, she went into the tent to meditate.
Lin Qinghan was a bit surprised that Zhang Lexuan didn't chat with him tonight, and he was left sitting by the fire alone.
With his powerful spiritual sense, he didn't need much time to keep watch, so he found himself with some free time.
Noticing that nothing seemed unusual around them, Lin Qinghan quietly started experimenting with his newly acquired fifth soul skill.
The fifth soul skill he gained was similar to the innate ability of the Electric Net Spider. It allowed him to release a special web shaped like a spider's web, centered around him, to interfere with the surrounding electric field.
However, Lin Qinghan was somewhat special. His mental power was extremely strong, and his martial soul was a unique bioelectric body. As a result, his soul skills were different from others.
Not only could he use his powerful mental energy to control and release the web, but he could also control it remotely.
Though using the skill remotely required more energy, it wasn't a problem for Lin Qinghan, whose soul power was much stronger than that of his peers.
It was still difficult to hide the full potential of this skill. For now, Lin Qinghan could only release a small part of the web, condensing one or several threads of lightning, and controlling only a small part of the surrounding electric field.
During his experiment, Lin Qinghan discovered that the lightning threads he created not only acted as excellent conductors, but also had noticeable electromagnetic induction effects.
With these lightning threads, he could even create an induction coil, and the effect of controlling conductive objects was even stronger than his ability to manipulate them through his mental sense.
After a moment's thought, Lin Qinghan took out a few silver soul coins from his storage soul guide, planning to use them as test subjects.
He didn't use gold soul coins because, in Douluo Continent, the basic properties of ordinary metals were similar to those on Blue Star, and gold was not as conductive as copper and silver.
Lin Qinghan began controlling the lightning thread to wind it into a thick coil.
With the power of his mental sense, he placed the silver soul coin into the coil. The coin floated in place, even when Lin Qinghan released his control. It didn't fall.
However, an unexpected incident occurred. After just a few seconds, the silver soul coin started to turn red. Lin Qinghan blinked in surprise, and in the next moment, it had melted into a small, round drop of liquid.
Without hesitation, Lin Qinghan launched the molten metal directly.
In an instant, the drop of silver metal shot off at high speed, reaching an extremely high temperature.
Even though silver is not particularly reactive, it exploded in a dazzling firework display in midair after the soul power dissipated.
Fortunately, there was only one silver soul coin, and the fireworks were not very large. Lin Qinghan's mental projection covered the explosion, so no one was disturbed.
"It's better to go to the outskirts to experiment next time," Lin Qinghan muttered to himself.
He didn't get a chance to study the full power of his attack because the molten silver had exploded in midair.
Sitting cross-legged by the fire, he left half of his mind focused on maintaining his spiritual position while circulating his soul power.
Doing two things at once was simple for Lin Qinghan, whose spiritual power had long surpassed the tangible.
Time passed quickly during his cultivation, and nothing unexpected happened throughout the night.
By the time Zhang Lexuan came out of her meditation, the two of them continued their journey out of the Xingdou Great Forest.
This time, their luck wasn't as good as before. Even with Lin Qinghan's spiritual sense helping them, they encountered several strong soul beasts along the way.
However, with their combined strength, Lin Qinghan and Zhang Lexuan weren't worried about soul beasts below 100,000 years old. It just took a lot of time to deal with them.
It wasn't until half past noon that they finally reached the edge of the forest.
The two of them walked and stopped, recovering their soul power while continuing on the road. Now that they were close to the outskirts of the Xingdou Great Forest, they were fully relieved.
"Sister Lexuan, I'll release my fifth soul skill now. Could you give me an evaluation?"
Zhang Lexuan had no objections. Lin Qinghan's soul skills were growing more impressive, and she was eager to see his fifth soul skill in action.
Lin Qinghan used his spiritual sense and sprinted towards a group of thousand-year-old soul beasts ahead to begin his experiment.
"Fifth soul skill, electromagnetic net!" Lin Qinghan called out.
His fifth soul ring flashed, and a spiderweb-like electric net began to spread out from the center of the soul beast group, quickly covering the entire area.
With a thought, Lin Qinghan stopped channeling soul power into the net and controlled its energy to explode completely.
In an instant, with a loud boom of thunder and lightning, a massive amount of lightning surged from the area covered by the net. Moments later, it turned into a pool of plasma.
The thousand-year-old soul beasts within the net were destroyed without even making a sound.
The lightning net's explosion ended quickly, leaving a large pit where the explosion occurred. Not even ashes remained in the pit.
Lin Qinghan was stunned by the power of this soul skill. This was only the most basic usage—an explosive attack.
He could also choose to leave the electromagnetic net active. Within its coverage, he could manipulate the magnetic field at will.
Combined with his spiritual sense, Lin Qinghan now had complete control within the net's coverage.
"Your soul skill is terrifying. I'm afraid it's comparable to my strongest attack when I release my martial soul's true body," Zhang Lexuan said, shocked.
Her strongest attack wasn't weaker than that of a Title Douluo!
Zhang Lexuan was once again stunned. In her eyes, even if a soul emperor who hadn't fully mastered Lin Qinghan's fifth soul skill tried to defend, or a soul saint who didn't activate their martial soul, the result would still be a dead body.
Such a powerful group attack soul skill was only Lin Qinghan's fifth soul skill.
Zhang Lexuan looked at Lin Qinghan with a complex expression. At this rate of growth, wouldn't he soon surpass her entirely?
"It's great that the soul skill is powerful, but Sister Lexuan, we should hurry. The power of my soul skill is too great to cover up."
Lin Qinghan didn't take the time to show any other uses of the skill. To the natives of Douluo Continent, concepts like the electromagnetic field were hard to understand.
Additionally, his spiritual sense detected that the surrounding soul beasts had already been startled by the explosion of his fifth soul skill.
