Duan Hongchen propped his elbows on the table, supporting his smooth chin, and fell into deep thought. After digesting Qian Mo's information, he slowly said, "I can't think of a way to amplify the compatibility."
"That's alright, there's still plenty of time. Perhaps, we can try a different approach. For example..."
"Deception!"
Qian Mo snapped his fingers, his thoughts bursting forth, and said excitedly, "Use some kind of factor to deceive the perception between two incompatible martial souls, making them mistakenly believe they are compatible enough, and induce a forced fusion of the martial souls."
"This approach would have a broader scope. It wouldn't just apply to twin martial soul masters; two unrelated soul masters could also do it."
Duan Hongchen immediately shook his head upon hearing this and objected, "Deception cannot change the essence. Even if it can force martial souls to fuse and use martial soul fusion skills, it is very likely to cause irreversible damage to their martial souls."

"No, why do you always have to completely align with martial soul fusion skills?" Qian Mo said helplessly.
"It doesn't require such a high degree of fusion, nor does it need to be maintained for long. Just ten percent fusion, a single full-power strike after the martial souls fuse, and then they separate. There won't be much damage."
"But to complete this project, consuming so many resources, only for a single strike with merely ten percent fusion, it's not cost-effective," Duan Hongchen said.
"If the quality isn't enough, then stack the quantity. If the power of two people isn't enough, what about three, five, a hundred, a thousand, or even a legion!"
Qian Mo's eyes grew increasingly fervent, as if he had already seen the strike of tens of thousands of people combined, capable of splitting the heavens and earth.
"How incredible would this strike of unified effort be!"
Duan Hongchen's fists clenched tightly, and he said with a trembling voice, "If this succeeds, it will bring about a huge change in the way soul masters fight!"
"That's right, but this project is too grand. My strength alone is not enough. I need a team." Qian Mo looked at Duan Hongchen with burning eyes, finally revealing his true intentions!
"Teacher Hongchen, are you willing to join my team?"
Duan Hongchen's green eyes behind his glasses stared intently at Qian Mo, and he said in a deep voice, "Given the difficulty of your project, shouldn't you be looking for those ninth-level, or even tenth-level soul engineers, these elders of the soul tool world, why would you choose me, a mere seventh-level soul engineer?"
Qian Mo's lips curved into a smile. He took out a document from his storage ring and placed it in front of Duan Hongchen, speaking slowly.
"Teacher Hongchen, don't be so modest. You are not a seventh-level soul engineer. You can already complete eighth-level soul tools, and you've even touched upon ninth-level soul tools."
"To achieve such accomplishments at your age is rare even in the history of the Federation. You are a chosen one among millions."
Duan Hongchen looked at the document on the table and knew that he had been thoroughly investigated, and could only lament that he was about to fall into Qian Mo's hands.
"What I need is a young team with great potential and a pioneering spirit, not that group of stubborn, traditionally rigid old folks."
Qian Mo stood up and went to the window, looking at the sunset in the distance. His eyes were full of ambition, arrogant and unrestrained, and his tone became increasingly high-pitched.
"Although there are more and more soul engineers, and quite a few eighth and ninth-level soul engineers, and even some tenth-level soul engineers, they are just a bunch of useless people who change the color and name of previous designs and claim them as their own original creations."
"Now, the soul tool world, which is like stagnant water, needs someone to stir it up and lead it, just like the Mingde Hall back then."
As soon as the words "Mingde Hall" were spoken, the water cup in Duan Hongchen's hand suddenly shattered, his fists clenched tightly, and the glass fragments crunched in his hand.
No descendant of a glorious family doesn't want their family to regain its former glory.
Just like the descendants of the Hongchen family, none of them don't want to recreate the family's golden age when they controlled the Mingde Hall.
Soon, Duan Hongchen slowly loosened his fist and said with a bitter smile, "Heh, if an outsider heard our conversation, they would probably think we are two lunatics."
Qian Mo turned around, spread his hands, appearing confident and flamboyant in the afterglow of the sunset.
"Genius on the left! Lunatic on the right! Success makes you a genius, failure makes you a lunatic!"
"Come on, Teacher Hongchen, let's bring a grand revolution to soul tools, and even to the Federation!"
"I've heard your future plans clearly. Do I have any other choice besides joining?" Duan Hongchen sighed and asked.
"I'm sorry, no," Qian Mo said with certainty. When Duan Hongchen came here, he was already a sheep entering a tiger's den, with no way out.
Duan Hongchen spread his hands and said helplessly, "Then I can only get on this pirate ship of yours!"
"No, this is not a pirate ship. It's an aircraft carrier that will reach a new era," Qian Mo said.
Duan Hongchen took off his monocle to wipe it, put it back on, and looked carefully at Qian Mo, saying faintly, "I have one last question. Are you really only seven years old?"
Qian Mo smiled calmly and said slowly, "Mindset has nothing to do with age, but with experience."
"I like that answer very much. Happy cooperation!" Duan Hongchen finally made up his mind to take a gamble, betting on the future of the seven-year-old child in front of him.
"Welcome to my team, Teacher Hongchen!" Qian Mo's lips curved up, and he got the result he was satisfied with.
"The Martial Soul Fusion Project, named the Thousand-Faced Angel Plan, will be the top secret of our team," Qian Mo announced.
"Thousand-Faced Angel?" Duan Hongchen instantly understood the key to this name and nodded in approval, "It's very fitting for your two martial souls."
"One more thing, how many people are in our team currently, and where is the location?"
Qian Mo held up two fingers and said proudly, "Not many, just the two of us! Congratulations, you have become a founding member of our team. You will have a share in our team's future equity."
"As for the location, currently it's just this soul tool laboratory in front of us."
Duan Hongchen almost fell off his chair and almost couldn't catch his breath. Just as he was about to speak after regulating his breathing, Qian Mo interrupted him.
"Don't rush, okay? I said 'currently.' After all, the team is just starting out, and many issues haven't been resolved yet."
"I will arrange for people to recruit staff. There are many soul engineers with untapped talent, so it will be easy to recruit. If there are any outstanding soul engineers in your Hongchen family, you can also recommend them to me. I believe in appointing the capable, regardless of family ties."
"As for the location, I will contact the family to build a top-standard soul tool laboratory, ensuring that the equipment inside is the most cutting-edge."
"That's good. As long as we don't have nothing," Duan Hongchen finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, Teacher Hongchen," Qian Mo waved his hand indifferently, "Although our southern region is backward in soul tool technology and lacks high-level soul engineers, the wealth accumulated over generations is very substantial, definitely enough to support our team."
