Railgun

Su Xing had been a top student in his previous life, and a top student who loved anime at that.

After watching Misaka Mikoto, Su Xing had looked into the Railgun.

And now that his Martial Soul happened to be a Coin, Su Xing had deliberately hunted a Spirit Beast with a Lightning attribute for his first Spirit Ring. Fortunately, after absorbing the Spirit Ring, his Coin Martial Soul gained the power of Lightning.

Su Xing's first Spirit Skill was Lightning Strike, which fired a bolt of Lightning from the Coin he summoned.

It was very weak!

At most, it could be used to hit someone, and it did not have much destructive power!

But none of that mattered. What Su Xing wanted was merely the Lightning attribute. He could create Spirit Skills himself.

Moreover, he had long since studied the nature of Lightning thoroughly and could directly convert Soul Power into Lightning!

Chirp, chirp, chirp~

Su Xing extended his right hand, and strands of Lightning gradually appeared, darting about in seemingly chaotic yet orderly patterns.

Using Lightning-attributed Soul Power to form an electromagnetic acceleration rail was not Su Xing's first attempt.

It was just that, in the past, the Lightning had always failed to gather and flow along the route Su Xing had planned.

To Su Xing, it was clearly wrong that his own power could not operate perfectly according to his intentions.

At first, Su Xing had not realized that the problem lay with his Spirit Ring. Only after continually training his control over Soul Power did he discover it.

"It worked!"

The next moment, a divine gleam flashed through Su Xing's eyes, which were filled with excitement.

He had successfully constructed an electromagnetic acceleration rail woven from Lightning.

From the outside, it merely looked like more than a dozen bolts of Lightning intertwining around Su Xing's arm.

But in truth, it was an electromagnetic acceleration rail, the most crucial component of the Railgun.

Ding~

Keeping the electromagnetic acceleration rail active with his right hand, Su Xing summoned his Coin Martial Soul into his left hand.

Then, Su Xing pinched the Coin and placed it at his right shoulder.

Crackle, crackle, crackle~

Once placed there, the Coin floated above Su Xing's shoulder, flickering with strands of Lightning.

Railgun!

Boom!

With Su Xing's low shout, the Coin hovering over his shoulder instantly blasted forward along his right arm!

Rumble!

Bang!

The wall in front of Su Xing was instantly blasted open with a hole over a meter wide, extending dozens of meters outward.

It was only because Su Xing's laboratory had been built underground that it caused no real harm!

And precisely because Su Xing knew it was underground, he had dared to test the Railgun so recklessly.

"This power... is greater than I expected!"

"Once I master the electromagnetic acceleration rail, it can become even faster and more powerful."

"It just consumes too much Soul Power. But normally, I won't need this much power. I can lower the output of the electromagnetic acceleration rail, and the Soul Power consumption won't be so severe!"

Looking at the destruction caused by his Railgun, Su Xing analyzed it with both excitement and calmness.

At the same time, he dismissed the electromagnetic acceleration rail constructed around his right arm.

Maintaining the electromagnetic acceleration rail consumed a tremendous amount of Soul Power. It had lasted less than ten seconds just now, yet Su Xing had already used up a considerable amount of the Soul Power in his body.

And after the Coin was placed inside, the electromagnetic acceleration rail consumed even more Soul Power when it began accelerating and firing it!

That single Railgun shot had consumed half of Su Xing's Soul Power.

"Also, the firing method isn't cool enough. The Coin is placed at my shoulder instead of being like Misaka Mikoto's!"

"This needs to be improved too. I just need to construct the electromagnetic acceleration rail in a circular shape. Flick it from my fingertips, let it circle once through the ring-shaped electromagnetic acceleration rail, then fire it. The effect will be the same as Misaka Mikoto's. At that speed, no one will be able to tell the difference anyway."

"But that will consume even more Soul Power. I'll have to wait until my Soul Power has improved."

"What matters more next is testing another idea involving Lightning."

"Lightning Body Tempering!"

After calming himself, Su Xing used the remaining half of his Soul Power to begin testing another application of Lightning-attributed Soul Power. In Su Xing's mind, this concept was no weaker than the Railgun's and was even more important.

The Railgun merely gave him powerful offensive capability.

Lightning Body Tempering was the most crucial step toward the strength he sought.

Lightning Body Tempering had been mentioned in many cultivation novels, and if explained scientifically, it had also appeared in many superheroes.

That was why Su Xing wanted to see whether he could develop it.

For a Spirit Master to become powerful, physical strength and Soul Power were equally important. Or rather, the body was the foundation of all strength. Without a powerful body, one could not contain powerful Soul Power.

Just like the Railgun, Su Xing had tried many times before Ring Detonation, but he had never managed to develop it. He had even been injured countless times because of it.

Chirp, chirp, chirp~

Under Su Xing's control, strands of Lightning quickly intertwined around his body.

Su Xing's brows soon drew together. The electric current was slightly too strong.

But after Su Xing lowered it a little, his brows quickly relaxed!

"There is hope!"

Su Xing was exhilarated. Though he had not yet succeeded, he could see great hope.

Because he could clearly sense his control over Soul Power, allowing him to fine-tune the strength of the Lightning as easily as moving an arm. Unlike before, when it was either too strong or too weak, and even if he found the right feeling, he could not maintain it.

At this rate, success was only a matter of time!

While Su Xing continued his experiments, the entire Su Clan was shaken by the commotion caused by his earlier Railgun.

The entire Su Clan shook as though there had been an earthquake. How could its members not be alarmed?

"What exactly happened?"

The head of the Su Clan, Su Xing's father Su Jinlong, hurriedly summoned someone to ask.

"Clan Head, the tremor seems to have come from underground!"

The man quickly replied.

"Underground? Oh no, my son..."

Upon hearing that, Su Jinlong's expression immediately changed.

As soon as he spoke, Su Jinlong sprang to his feet and ran toward Su Xing's underground laboratory.

"Xing..."

A beautiful woman beside Su Jinlong, Su Xing's mother Lin Qianyue, also changed expression when she heard this and immediately ran after him.

"Su Jinlong, if anything has happened to Xing, I will never forgive you!"

"It's because you indulged him that Xing keeps fooling around!"

"I told you long ago that a Coin Martial Soul is completely unsuitable for becoming a Combat Spirit Master. It was all because you indulged him!"

After catching up with Su Jinlong, Su Xing's mother Lin Qianyue worried about Su Xing while also complaining bitterly to Su Jinlong.

Su Jinlong's eye twitched slightly. I indulged him? You, his mother, aren't any better.

But he did not dare say much at a time like this. What mattered more was worrying about Su Xing.

Bang!

The two soon arrived at Su Xing's basement and directly pushed open the door.

"Xing..."

"Xing..."

The tense pair immediately relaxed when they saw Su Xing still sitting in meditation and experimenting.

But when they saw the destruction Su Xing's Railgun had caused, their expressions froze!

"Ah... this is..."
