[Douluo 3]
After the Su Ming from Douluo 2 developed the Evil-Illuminating Mirror, the Su Ming from Douluo 3 also applied this technology.
To be honest, the Spirit Tool technology in Douluo 3 was far more advanced than in Douluo 2, yet the ability to detect Evil Spirit Masters had never seen an improvement.
This wasn't the researchers' fault.
If Su Ming hadn't delved into the domain of faith, come into contact with the faith of Evil Spirit Masters, combined with his creativity and Electrolux's development ability, this Evil-Illuminating Mirror could not have been completed.
"You kid, you really dare to do it, secretly developing something like this." Zhen Hua was astonished by Su Ming's Spirit Tool development ability.
He had always thought Su Ming was a forging genius and hadn't paid much attention to Su Ming's achievements in other secondary professions.
Now it seemed Su Ming was an all-around genius!
"Evil Spirit Masters have poisoned the continent for a long time. With your Evil-Illuminating Mirror, more effective protection can indeed be established, and the entire continent will be much more stable then." Zhen Hua carefully examined the Evil-Illuminating Mirror, turned it on, looked at the red dots on it, and asked curiously, "Have you made so many Evil-Illuminating Mirrors? They all have signals between them."
The corner of Su Ming's mouth twitched.
"Teacher, the red dots represent Evil Spirit Masters. We are at the coordinate origin. The red dot overlapping with us means there is an Evil Spirit Master at our location."
Zhen Hua: ???
!
"What!"
There was an Evil Spirit Master hidden in the Blacksmith Association, and damn it, so close to him?
Zhen Hua increased the resolution, zoomed in continuously, and found that this red dot was only ten meters away from him.
He gasped.
"Teacher, rest assured. I've already locked onto him and observed him. He's just a Spirit King level Evil Spirit Master, and most likely has an Evil Martial Spirit but hasn't cultivated using Evil Spirit Master methods, so the Association never noticed."
"It's fine if he hasn't cultivated using Evil Spirit Master methods." Zhen Hua breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he couldn't be defined as an Evil Spirit Master.
A strange smile appeared on Su Ming's lips.
Really couldn't be defined?
When Electrolux was developing this Evil-Illuminating Mirror, Su Ming had given some requirements. The mirror wouldn't react to those Spirit Masters who merely had an Evil Martial Spirit but hadn't committed evil acts themselves.
He had even tested it using Dugu Bo from Douluo 1 and found that Dugu Bo didn't trigger a reaction.
The number of lives Dugu Bo had taken was absolutely not small, but in Electrolux's judgment, he didn't count as committing evil.
This showed that the conditions set by Electrolux were very perceptive. The criteria probably weren't based on killing intent or pure resentment.
But rather, resentment entering the soul.
Killing was acceptable, gathering resentment on oneself was acceptable, but as long as the resentment integrated into the soul through the flaw of the Evil Martial Spirit, then that was a true Evil Spirit Master.
Noticing Su Ming's expression, Zhen Hua's heart, which had just relaxed, tightened again.
"Teacher, he himself hasn't killed anyone, but that doesn't mean he hasn't used products from the Holy Spirit Cult."
Holy Spirit Cult products?
A trace of confusion flashed in Zhen Hua's eyes.
"I had Teacher Zhang Tianyang investigate. This Hun Yan has never performed Spirit Ascension in any Spirit Transmission Pagoda's Spirit Ascension Platform, yet his Spirit Soul was ascended once five years ago, his first Spirit Soul upgraded from a hundred-year level to a thousand-year level."
Zhen Hua's expression became heavy.
He understood what Su Ming meant by Holy Spirit Cult products now – soul origin condensed through killing!
Calling it soul origin was actually slightly inaccurate. It wasn't exactly soul origin, just related to the soul. It seemed to be refined by collecting vengeful spirits. In the Holy Spirit Cult, it was called Holy Source, while privately some called it soul origin.
Did that Hun Yan count as an Evil Spirit Master?
Yes!
Evil Martial Spirit, used Holy Source – these two points were enough to indicate Hun Yan's origins.
He was a spy sent by the Holy Spirit Cult to the Blacksmith Association.
Recalling Hun Yan's history, Zhen Hua could confirm his judgment was correct.
"Hun Yan's Martial Spirit itself isn't bad, so even without taking the Evil Spirit Master path, he could cultivate successfully. Therefore, he was sent by the Holy Spirit Cult to the Blacksmith Association to focus on forging."
"That should be the case," Su Ming said.
"Now that we know his origins, I'm actually relieved. Let's not alert the enemy for now, and leave this vulnerability for the Holy Spirit Cult, letting them think your Evil-Illuminating Mirror can't detect this kind of Evil Spirit Master."
Su Ming nodded in agreement.
"Also, regarding sharing the Evil-Illuminating Mirror technology, I suggest not doing it in the name of the Blacksmith Association."
"Coward."
Mu Ye came out from the kitchen, pushing a small food cart.
"The Blacksmith Association has been in the spotlight a bit too much recently."
Zhen Hua shook his head and sighed.
He looked at Su Ming.
"Xiao Ming, what are your thoughts? If you insist, the Association will help you spread it."
Su Ming said, "Let's follow your idea, Teacher. Recklessly seeking the spotlight isn't good."
This thing was developed by him, so the root lay with him.
Showing off in the forging field was for a large harvest.
For example, with Artificial Rare Metal, the technological root came from him, so the faith belonged to him. Because he had the foundational 'tier' for it, he wasn't afraid of others stealing it, but that was a slow and steady flow.
Showing off could harvest a large amount, widely and voluminously, in one go.
As for the Evil-Illuminating Mirror, forget it. Its effect was long-term. With the slow, steady flow and Su Ming having secured his position, whether he was credited or not didn't matter much.
The main role of the Evil-Illuminating Mirror in Douluo 3 was to obtain the Favor of the Plane.
Cleaning up Evil Spirit Masters might not fall within the scope of the Plane's Favor. After all, a plane's development surely doesn't distinguish between good and evil; the Will of the Plane wouldn't care about righteousness, evil, good, or bad.
However, the Holy Spirit Cult has unclear connections with Tang Da Hammer and the Sea God!
Under these circumstances, Su Ming, suppressing Evil Spirit Masters, could gain the Favor of the Plane.
"How about I help you trade the Evil-Illuminating Mirror technology to the Sacred Angel Family? They can then distribute it to the major factions on your behalf."
The Sacred Angel Family?
Su Ming didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.
"The profits from the Evil-Illuminating Mirror mean nothing to them. If you want, I'll get it all for you. For their family, the Evil-Illuminating Mirror itself is the key."
Zhen Hua chuckled.
The Sacred Angel Le Family, their reputation was solid; they were truly a group of justice fanatics who actively sought out and killed Evil Spirit Masters everywhere. Other aspects of the Le Family could be criticized, but when it came to hunting Evil Spirit Masters, there was really nothing to criticize.
Giving them the Evil-Illuminating Mirror capable of detecting Evil Spirit Masters, the Sacred Le Family probably wouldn't be able to have a family gathering for the next few years.
"Xiao Ming, have you broken through?"
Having observed for a long time, Mu Ye hesitantly spoke up.
"Yes, I broke through to Level 40 yesterday."
"Good, good. So, are you planning to fuse with that Evil Eye Spirit Soul?"
"Him it is. I feel fusing with the Evil Eye Spirit Soul will have a positive influence on my Martial Spirit."
Su Ming's Martial Spirit was Elemental Control, but the elements included only natural elements. He couldn't dabble in powers of special attributes like corrosion.
If he fused with the Evil Eye Spirit Soul, perhaps he could further expand the concept of his Martial Spirit.
He had looked into this Evil Eye Spirit Soul and knew its attribute mutations were all born from corresponding stimuli. Although it would dilute its spiritual talent, becoming weaker the more it was stimulated, having this characteristic was enough.
If he remembered correctly, this era had the Power of Destruction and the Power of Life, seemingly on Devil Island.
"If I obtain the Destruction attribute, perhaps the Body Sect me from Douluo 1 can attempt the God of Destruction."
