Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 651 - 573 - s Intelligent Core

A hundred-meter long steel beast is breaking through the surging waves, moving swiftly across the sea with powerful propulsion.

It's unknown whether it's the technical structure or magic technology that allows this giant steel beast to remain incredibly stable even on such turbulent waters.

It's so stable that everyone standing on the deck remains firmly in place, not feeling too much rocking.

At this moment, the sky is bright and sunny.

Yet, the deck seems somewhat dark, with an ear-piercing screech and misty soul fog condensing from the void, casting a heavy shadow over the entire deck.

Even the sunlight cannot penetrate, and the temperature on the deck quickly drops, causing frost to begin to form.

"Does using this skill really create such a disturbance?" Kane asked puzzledly.

The significant disturbance was because he was using his Golden Skill on the deck, currently in the initial stage of soul condensation.

"These soul fragments are the souls of the deceased, not those of the living. The void passage you connect to leads to the realm of death, so it's naturally dark,"

Lilulu explained.

Then Lilulu widened her eyes, carefully observing the process of Kane using the skill, since everyone's soul condensation techniques differ, and there is no unified standard—what works is good.

So learning more isn't a bad thing. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Kane opened his palm, revealing a small magic orb.

A small cluster resembling a whirlwind surrounds the magic sphere. Kane and the others don't feel much from the cluster, but they can see its strong suction drawing traces of soul energy from the void.

These soul instruments condense at the center of the sphere, causing the entire faintly blue-colored magic sphere to start turning ghostly green and pale.

Then the soul energy in the void vanished, and the surrounding ominous aura disappeared too, allowing the light from the sky to quickly shine down, melting the frost on the deck.

Everything restored to the previous warm temperature in an instant.

Now Kane's magic sphere, previously the size of a marble, is roughly the size of a ping-pong ball.

It has completely transformed into a white-green hue, flashing bright and dim with a mysterious color.

However, no stray aura surrounds it, instead, it feels very solid.

Lilulu looked at the shattered soul in Kane's hand and said, "A very advanced and perfect soul condensation technique, even I couldn't reach this level. Learned something new. The condensed shattered soul is nearly perfect, almost too perfect to be called a shattered soul."

With Lilulu's praise, it signifies that the soul condensation technique indeed reached a top-notch level.

However, Kane was somewhat puzzled.

"Is this considered a successful soul condensation? Is this thing the shattered soul?" Kane asked with confusion.

Upon hearing Kane's question, Lilulu nodded strangely, "Yes, this is considered successful, and it's very perfect."

"But my skill process isn't finished yet."

Kane said as he once again summoned magic power, wrapping it around the soul bead.

The magic power transformed into three sharp needle-like objects, beginning to engrave something onto the soul bead. The engraving speed was incredibly fast, yet it gave an impression of being exceptionally delicate and slow.

It's very strange, considering Kane and the others' quality already reached the golden level.

In just a moment, the engraving was complete, and the soul bead in Kane's hand transformed into a completely spherical energy ball, looking nothing like the previously shattered soul.

The color changed from white-green to an egg-white hue, as if it were a bright jade piece.

Lilulu floated over, orbited around the soul bead in Kane's hand, looking skeptically and puzzled.

"What is this thing? The runes engraved by those three magic needles couldn't be seen clearly and directly changed the nature of the shattered soul. Even I can't recognize it,"

Lilulu concluded after observing for a long time.

This thing now resembled more of a high-energy mineral crystal than anything related to souls.

Everyone curiously turned their gaze towards Kane, since the item was formed by Kane's skill. Kane should know what this thing is, or what its purpose is.

Kane picked up the ping-pong ball-sized soul bead, and under the sunlight, looked at its transparent nature.

"This thing is a core, exhibiting nature very similar to a soul, yet completely unrelated to a soul. The final engraving changed its nature."

Kane, having fully utilized this skill, grasped the finished product after its use, broadly understanding this thing's nature and its particular function.

"This thing can serve as an intelligent core, akin to the human brain, and it possesses a certain soul brain as well. Now it's like a blank sheet."

Kane glanced at the ball in his hand, then magic power surged once more, forming a precise and intricate mechanical structure that began to envelop and link the ball.

Then he crafted a mechanical ball the size of clasped hands, producing more magic power.

The mechanical ball transitioned from virtual to real, transforming into a tangible object.

A true mechanical ball then appeared in Kane's hand.

This was what Kane had been conceiving since he began studying mechanical structure and magic knowledge.

Just restrained by the lack of the most crucial puzzle piece, which has finally come together now.

Watching the mechanical ball in his hand, Kane closed his eyes, then lifted it with both hands.

The mechanical ball floated above Kane's hands, and magic power transformed into strips of data resembling runes, instilling into the mechanical ball.

As countless long magic runes entered the mechanical sphere, the magic patterns on the sphere increased more and more.

A few minutes later, almost all the structures on and inside the mechanical sphere were covered with magic patterns.

It had become an extremely precise mechanical creation.

At this moment, Kane opened his eyes and exhaled deeply, then wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

"It's done. This might be my greatest work at this stage."

Hearing Kane's words, Longbei couldn't help but ask, "What use does this iron ball have?"

Just as Longbei finished speaking, the iron ball flew over and hit him on the head.

"Ouch!" Longbei couldn't help but rub his head and asked Kane, "Why did you hit me?"

Unexpectedly, Kane shook his head and spread his hands, saying, "I didn't hit you, she wanted to hit you herself."

Saying this, Kane pointed to the mechanical sphere floating beside him.

"She's a little girl, how can you call her an iron ball?"

Then Kane held the iron ball in his hands, looking at it spinning in his hand, Kane said, "From now on, you'll be called 'Wick'.

It seemed to understand Kane's words, starting to spin left and right, showcasing its excitement.

This was Kane's long-held vision; the Soul Bead became the last missing piece of his puzzle. With it, Kane's abilities would elevate further.

The iron ball in his hands was the Intelligent Core, a true Intelligent Core, with a certain learning ability.

Although not yet reaching the level of humans or intelligent creatures, it was already adequate as an Intelligent Core.

Then Kane waved his hand again, and the iron ball was encased in layers of mechanical structures, transforming into a large Floating Cannon, extending a long barrel and several surrounding gun barrels.

Relying on the floating device designed beneath, it could freely fly and change various forms in the air, and with the nozzles on its tail and sides, it could fly at extremely fast speeds.

At the edge of the ship, one model made of steel after another emerged.

"Go!"

As Kane's words fell, the nozzles behind the Floating Cannon spurted out instantly, flying out at great speed.

Without any control from Kane, the Floating Cannon flew to a certain height, then aimed its barrel at the models below.

A loud firing sound came, and a conical long shell landed squarely in the center of the model.

With a loud explosion, the model was blown to pieces.

The Floating Cannon quickly approached, and its gun barrels began spouting bullets, a dense metal barrage, covering all the remaining models.

Every bullet hit key vital parts of the models.

Kane watched this scene with great satisfaction.

The newly born Wisdom Core, with only a limited amount of knowledge instilled by Kane, was already performing so remarkably.

Then Kane manifested three more identical Floating Cannons headed towards the one piloted by the Wisdom Core for study.

The two tangled with each other in the air, Kane maneuvering the three Floating Cannons to constantly besiege the Wisdom Core's Floating Cannon.

Every shot didn't harm the Wisdom Core's vital parts, only shattering the gun barrels around it.

The Wisdom Core initially appeared very embarrassed; it was even difficult to dodge, let alone counterattack.

But before long, it could counterattack during evasions, finally directly countering, taking down one of Kane's controlled Floating Cannons.

However, it was also hit by the other two Floating Cannons, and all its weapons were shattered.

"Come back!" Kane said to Wick, her performance had already greatly satisfied Kane.

Watching Wick flying back over, Kane removed the Floating Cannon armor encasing it.

Kreya and the others, who had been watching from the sidelines, looked at Wick held in Kane's hands.

"So now you can directly create a Yo-Yo?" Kreya said.

Hearing Kreya's words, Kane thought for a moment and nodded.

One had to admit Kreya always grasped the key points, subsequently voicing very understandable descriptions.

However, Kane still explained, "Yo-Yo seemed to have a very high Intelligent Core, but in reality, it wasn't. Its original mechanism likely didn't have too autonomous an intelligent structure.

The reason it appeared so smart was mostly due to the Mist's modification; after all, it was dropped as loot by the Mist."

Kane had previously scanned Yo-Yo's core and replicated it, and the core didn't inherently allow Yo-Yo to have emotional functions.

Yet under Kane's cultivation, it still possessed them. Upon careful examination by Kane, it was likely because the Mist installed a module etched with complex patterns on it.

Therefore, Kane planned to replace Yo-Yo's core once his Wisdom Core technology matured, as the emotional module and information recording module were separate panels.

The core was merely a simple energy mechanical core, so Kane concluded the original mechanism didn't have wisdom.

Now, by adding a Wisdom Core to Yo-Yo, it would make Yo-Yo more lively and truly possess wisdom.
