Xuan Zi Returns

Equipment Upgrade?

The team members' eyes lit up.

It's certainly painful to have all their wealth and assets exposed, but they've also been freed from their constraints.

Soul Engineer grows step by step, their Soul Tool are upgraded time and time again, and their fighting style is also passed down little by little.

Each of them had dozens of cannon barrels on them. Upgrading them all would be extremely damaging, but if they didn't upgrade, they would be Duo Duo trapped by this system.

In short, removing all the Soul Tool and then reconfiguring a set of equipment that best suits their current level would be prohibitively expensive for even geniuses like them.

Even if they worked for a year and frantically produced Soul Tool, it would be difficult to make up for the losses, not to mention that it would also delay their normal cultivation and study.

Honestly, aside from the Soul Fighting Tournament a year later, the quality of their Soul Tool isn't that important at other times.

They are all destined to the Mingde Hall. They will continue their studies and it will not be too late to tailor-make the most suitable Soul Tool for themselves after they reach the Limit the Soul Engineer level.

We can make do with what we have for now.

Moreover, according to usual standards, they would enter a collective preparation period six months before the start of the competition, at which time the academy would reimburse them for the Rare Metal they consumed.

But that was six months later.

If they upgrade now, wouldn't they be able to reduce the effort required for upgrading six months later and instead use the opportunity of the academy reimbursing Rare Metal to try and reach a higher level?

Director Gao had thought of everything the students could think of.

His suggestion to upgrade the students' equipment was, in a way, for their benefit.

This time Su Ming "failed," so surely we can't just let this team lose all their Soul Tool?

After all, they'll be participating in the Soul Fighting Tournament a year from now.

It was precisely because of this that Director Gao was at least 70% confident that he could secure full reimbursement for them.

The members, who had just looked heartbroken, were all smiles now, looking at Su Ming with great kindness.

"Junior, that was delicious!"

Su Ming fell silent.

No, he just wanted to show off.

Although the Domain of Chaos is too effective against most Soul Engineer who rely on Soul Cannon, exposing it would do them no good, but--

He couldn't hide this Soul Skill either.

Moreover, it's not that Su Ming's Soul Skill counter Soul Engineer who rely on Soul Cannon; he's specifically targeting Soul Engineer.

The Domain of Chaos has a wide range of effects, suppressing all elemental Soul Master Soul Engineer. Anything related to elements will be affected by the sudden chaos.

Therefore, his target is not the Soul Engineer group, but everyone.

As for whether showing off and damaging the seniors' wealth would be disliked, Su Ming had already considered this, knowing that the academy would definitely reimburse him.

Why?

Su Ming hadn't expected this reason to come so quickly.

As the members of the Sun Moon Royal Team were filled with joy and talking with Su Ming, a loud bang was heard in the sky.

Colorful fireworks burst open in the air, outlining different patterns.

"Has someone advanced to the Rank 9 Soul Engineer?"

Director Gao exclaimed in surprise, staring at the dazzling fireworks in the sky, a look of envy flashing in his eyes.

Who was this senior who was so lucky to achieve the highest achievement in the field of Soul Engineer?

Su Ming looked up at the sky with surprise.

"Grandpa, so fast?"

That breakthrough speed is truly astounding.

Then, he seemed to be deep in thought.

"It seems that a considerable number of level 8 Soul Engineer Eighth-Level Soul Engineer who cannot break through to Level 9 have a good understanding of the concept, but are unable to break through due to their low Soul Power Level."

Xuan Ziwen is...

Su Can is.

Perhaps there are other Eighth-Level Soul Engineer in the same situation.

Because the Soul Tool were all destroyed, Director Gao announced that the training camp would be postponed for another three months, giving everyone three months to repair their Soul Tool.

Xiao Hongchen was overjoyed, as it meant he could continue his research for the next three months.

Only during long holidays can he devote all his energy to a research project. He originally thought that the next research would have to wait until after the Soul Fighting Tournament, but unexpectedly, it has resumed now.

As for the Soul Cannon?

Xiao Hongchen stated that he could condense himself.

His Martial Soul, the Three-legged Golden Toad, has an exceptional affinity for metals, and his Third Soul Skill, Golden Solidification, allows him to directly craft Soul Cannon using Metal Element.

That's right. Metal was condensed on the spot, and then the Core Array was inscribed with Spiritual Power on the spot, turning it into Soul Cannon for battle.

Other Soul Engineer rely on their past accumulations; aside from Laser- type Soul Cannon, the shells fired by Soul Cannon are all obtained by exchanging Gold Soul Coin. However, Xiao Hongchen can convert them using Soul Power.

After leaving the training ground, Su Ming contacted Su Can.

"Grandpa really did break through."

Su Ming rushed to the location designated by Su Can and met up with him immediately.

Shrek Academy.

Sea God Pavilion.

"Teacher, your health..."

Yan Shaozhe looked at Mu En, who was beginning to exude a deathly aura, and his words were tinged with sadness.

He had previously tried to persuade his teacher not to wander around and insist on going to the freshmen dormitory area, but now he wished his teacher could continue to lie down there.

"Yan Shaozhe, I was already close to death, so this death is actually worthwhile, as it was for the sake of protecting the academy." Mu En's tone was very calm.

He had long anticipated this, knowing that such a scene would unfold in his life.

If not, that would be his Regret.

"I can hold on for a few more months, don't worry."

"Even if I leave now, the academy will not be in danger. Du Busi will not dare to come to the academy again. Although the Golden Ancient Tree's trump card has been exposed, it has also given you a chance to catch your breath. Everything is safe within the academy's territory."

"Besides, Xuan Zi is already at Level 98. His talent still needs to be explored. As long as he focuses on cultivation, the possibility of breaking through to Level 99 is still very high."

"Once I leave, perhaps he'll feel the pressure and be able to break through."

Mu En spoke, it was as if he were giving his last words.

Even though he said he could hold on for a few more months, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but carefully sense his teacher's Life force again and again.

Mu En closed his eyes and began to rest.

Just as Yan Shaozhe was about to leave, a Soul Power Fluctuation caught their attention.

With Yan Shaozhe's help, Mu En walked out of the Sea God Pavilion and looked at the light spots flying in from afar.

"Xuan Zi is finally back."

Mu En breathed a sigh of relief, his tone becoming much more relaxed.

Yan Shaozhe nodded as well.

In the years since Mu En died, Xuan Zi has been the academy's greatest source of confidence.

Three months ago, Mu En suffered severe injuries in the battle and it was clear that he wouldn't last much longer. All the Pavilion Elder of the Sea God Pavilion were hoping for Xuan Zi's swift return to stabilize morale.

Mu En had just breathed a sigh of relief when he realized something was wrong.

Why was Xuan Zi alone?

Mu En's heart skipped a beat, and his heart began to race inexplicably.
