Snap!

Another nearly inaudible crisp sound.

The spiritual matter dissipated once again, falling into Ji Jue's hands. His palms had begun to tremble, his breathing severe due to the excessive use of strength and the effort to maintain stability after holding his breath for too long.

This time, he was a bit more successful than before, just a bit; he touched it, and then, he crushed the spirituality he had shaped himself.

After three, four, five, and six attempts, the best he could manage was to barely sense that he had grasped this fragile spirit.

Then, that glimmer of hope, like a flickering candle in the wind, was completely extinguished with Ji Jue's movements.

"Teacher, is this really doable?"

Ji Jue couldn't help but sigh amidst the intense dizziness and blurred vision.

In the foundational theory of Modern Alchemy, the world is composed of material and spirit.

Ascension and Ruins intertwined, souls and matter combined, giving birth to the original Holy Spirit. This is the ancient Superior, with neither preceding the other.

To imbue matter with spirit is the true essence of alchemy.

Yet at this moment, what Ji Jue sought was to extract the spirit completely from within the matter after it had been imbued with spirit. Not to mention the intimate connection and fit between matter and spirit, or whether Ji Jue's skills were up to the task, this was akin to...damn, wait a second!

The moment he realized, Ji Jue was shocked, his face contorting with an unstoppable twitch.

Indeed, if he disintegrated the Matrix with the Dissociation Technique, broke the protection, bound and blessed with alchemy to avoid disturbances, and then used the Non-attack spiritual operation... in theory, it was indeed possible to pull out someone's soul.

But what about in practice?

He swallowed dryly, his figure involuntarily stooping a bit, "Can it really be done?"

"Want to give it a try?"

Professor Ye was eager to try, raising her hand slightly, "Are you interested in experiencing it yourself? It's been a long time since I last did this, I'm afraid I might be a bit rusty."

Without a second thought, Ji Jue vigorously shook his head.

Fearing that if he was a moment slower, Professor Ye would let out a ghastly laugh saying 'I've been waiting for you to say that for a long time now,' and then strike cruelly.

It wasn't a mistrust of Professor Ye, but as a craftsman apprentice striding forward on this path, Ji Jue truly couldn't muster any trust in the average quality of a craftsman.

One who could use someone's ashes after killing them, and still manage to dig a hole to bury them, was already considered kind among craftsmen, which indicated just how frightening the standard of the other craftsmen must be.

However, what followed was Professor Ye's regretful sigh.

"Don't worry."

She said, "I can't do it."

Although she was specialized in the study of spiritual matter, her expertise was not in operation.

The effect of Mo Ye was merely to split and repel; it couldn't extract a person's soul from their body while preserving the soul's structure intact.

But this didn't mean no one could do it.

In fact, some with Ascension abilities could handle soul manipulation better; the more vicious ones could even directly eat the extracted soul, chopping it into pieces or slices was not beyond their capabilities...

For a master specialized in spiritual matter, such a precise surgery was only a matter of effort, not a problem.

For the nearly omnipotent Non-attack spiritual operation, it was also completely possible.

Even, for Ji Jue at his current stage, there was a possibility!

Even this possibility was so high it reached the level of 'inevitability.'

"Even if extracting another's soul is not possible, what about the consciousness and spirituality you've created?"

Professor Ye reminded, "The biggest challenge of spirit extraction is suppressing the innate resistance of the spirit. Even in a comatose state, a complete spirituality will instinctively resist modification.

But if the spirit is cooperative, even at your current stage, you should be able to do it."

Ji Jue was slightly taken aback.

If the range was limited to the spirituality created by his own Mechanical Descent, then the value of this skill would be further reduced... No, that's not right!

He finally had a revelation.

Not reduced, but rather, after several concessions from the scope and effects, at this stage, such a skill was perfectly suitable for Ji Jue!

If he could freely extract and release the spirituality he had bestowed, it also meant that creations limited by their material for improving abilities could now more conveniently 'Bird Cage Swapping.'

The spirit within the Thunderbolt Lever Rifle could also be transferred to a more convenient vessel.

No, what if it wasn't transferred?

What if, it was kept within his own soul?!

Imagine, without needing practice or training, just by bestowing and extracting Spiritual Wisdom, then encompassing it within one's own soul, one could instantly turn into a sharpshooter who never misses within three kilometers, a swordsman unbeaten within ten steps, a boxer who could defeat an enemy nation within a mere few feet...

This technique could lead to a qualitative change in the abilities of Mechanical Descent!

But the premise was, it had to be achievable by him...

Just by thinking this far, he couldn't contain his soaring fighting spirit, his eyes shining as bright as a hundred-watt lightbulb, gleaming brightly in the workshop!

Afterward, he heard the words of Professor Ye.

"Once you can freely extract and transfer the Spiritual Wisdom of the Creation Spirit from Mechanical Descent, you'll have entered the threshold of spiritual operation."

Professor Ye slowly said, "Next, you can try to conduct the course of alchemy purely with spiritual operation."
