Fish Grilled Fish Drew People In

"If no one had testified for you, I really wouldn't believe that your Soul Skill came from a Ten-Year Soul Beast like a Wind Baboon."

After Chen Junting and Electrolux finished communicating in the Sea of Spirit, they discovered that he was the only one in the area. Fan Yu's voice, meanwhile, came from another area outside.

After leaving the original area, he followed the direction of the voice and soon arrived at the largest open space in Testing Area No. 12.

Fan Yu had already changed into simple cloth clothes. His thick, sturdy arms were bare, revealing muscles as hard as granite. Ning Tian and the others were gathered around him, watching He Caitou, who stood ahead holding a Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon.

"You're testing a Soul Guidance Cannon?" Chen Junting came to Ning Tian's side. His silent footsteps nearly startled her.

"Ah! You almost scared me to death."

Ning Tian laughingly smacked Chen Junting's shoulder, then explained, "You looked like you were thinking about something just now, so I didn't disturb you." As she spoke, she pointed at Huo Yuhao, who was standing beside He Caitou. "I had Yuhao use his First Soul Skill on Teacher Fan Yu just now. Teacher Fan Yu is now having Yuhao assist Senior Student He with shooting a moving target."

"Is that so?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an intense surge of Soul Power erupted from He Caitou! At the same time as his two yellow and one purple Soul Rings appeared, a rich black radiance flowed across the surface of the Soul Guidance Cannon.

Huo Yuhao's White Soul Ring also began to pulse slowly.

Boom--

A violent roar rang out. A dazzling black beam suddenly burst from the cannon's barrel, grazing the disk before blasting into the metal plate behind it. A powerful gust swept outward, whipping Chen Junting's white hair into wild disarray.

Huo Yuhao in front even staggered.

"Looks like the Soul Skill's effect is pretty good." Chen Junting saw it clearly. Within forty meters, the Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon was still very accurate, but it began to deviate beyond forty meters.

"It is indeed quite good."

Hearing Chen Junting's words, Fan Yu nodded slightly.

He had already learned from Huo Yuhao that his Soul Skill could evolve. He then looked at He Caitou, who had brought Huo Yuhao over. "Caitou, Yuhao will be your junior brother from now on. Come over whenever you're free. I'll teach you how to make Soul Tools." His final sentence was directed at both Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian.

"Then thank you, Teacher Fan Yu."

Ning Tian smiled brightly, accepting on his behalf.

After that, the group wandered around the Soul Guidance Device Testing Area and listened to explanations about Soul Tools. Only when Fan Yu and He Caitou were about to begin testing did Chen Junting and the others leave.

"Yuhao, what do you think of Soul Tools?"

Chen Junting looked at Huo Yuhao, who seemed deep in thought, and asked.

"Brother Junting, I'm very interested in Soul Tools."

"Hehe, as long as you're interested. Interest is the greatest teacher." A smile curled at the corners of Chen Junting's lips. He then noticed Wu Feng, who seemed to be struggling with something, and looked toward Ning Tian.

"What's wrong with Little Feng?"

"She seems to have been shaken by the Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon."

Ning Tian covered her mouth and chuckled, causing Chen Junting to raise an eyebrow.

He understood now. Wu Feng had seen the Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon's tremendous power and had backed herself into a dead end.

"Hey, Sword Man." Wu Feng suddenly spoke, her tone conflicted. "Do you have an attack with that much power?"

"Of course."

"But I feel that I wouldn't have one if I were only a Soul Elder."

"Little Feng, you've backed yourself into a dead end." His tone was calm, as though Wu Feng's worry was nothing serious. "It's not as if you can't use Soul Tools, so why are you agonizing over it? If you think combining them with Soul Tools will make you stronger, then use them. If you later feel that Soul Tools are a burden, then don't. You should know that the difference between you and a beast is that you can use tools. The difference between you and an idiot is that you can make the right choice."

"That makes sense."

Wu Feng nodded thoughtfully. Then, as though she had suddenly realized something, she glared fiercely at Chen Junting. "You black-hearted Sword Man, were those last few sentences insulting me?"

"I was merely guiding you."

"Nonsense!"

Amid a burst of chaos, Wu Feng finally quieted down.

Completely outmatched by Chen Junting, she now came to Huo Yuhao's side and patted his shoulder. "Huo Yuhao, once you become a Soul Engineer, I'll leave my exclusive Soul Tool to you! I want a huge blade to hack that Sword Man to death."

Huo Yuhao could only remain silent.

"By the way, how are you planning to deal with dinner?"

After glancing at the sky, they realized that they had spent quite a long time in the Soul Engineer Department, and dusk was approaching.

Ning Tian pondered for a moment before suggesting, "How about going to Shrek City for a look?"

As for Shrek Academy's cafeteria, Ning Tian had gone there once. Although she hadn't said much about it, she had clearly shown that she wanted no part of it.

"Why don't we eat Huo Yuhao's grilled fish? The restaurants in Shrek City might not even make grilled fish as delicious as Huo Yuhao's." Wu Feng suddenly cut in.

Ever since eating Huo Yuhao's grilled fish in Star Dou Forest that day, she had been unable to forget it. She had never found an opportunity to eat it again in the Nine Treasures Pavilion and was practically starving for it.

Hearing this, Ning Tian and Chen Junting's eyes lit up.

After tasting Huo Yuhao's grilled fish, Chen Junting discovered that his culinary skills were even more impressive than he had imagined. He had even wondered for a while whether Little Huo's grilled fish had become a "conceptual skill."

"Since that's the case, let's go to Sea God Lake. Little Feng, you should have already prepared the grill and seasonings, right?" Chen Junting looked at Wu Feng, who he knew well. Since she had suggested it, that meant she had nearly everything ready.

Sure enough, she patted her Storage Soul Tool.

The meaning behind her smile was self-evident.

Beside Sea God Lake.

Smack--

"That hurts!"

A red mark appeared on the back of Wu Feng's hand.

The hand she had stretched out instantly recoiled.

"They're not done yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Chen Junting glanced at the Azure-Patterned Fish that was still being turned.

Although Azure-Patterned Fish and Green Fish differed by only one word, the former was a Soul Beast, while the latter was merely an ordinary fish.

All the fish Wu Feng had prepared were Ten-Year Soul Beasts.

Seeing that they clearly needed a little more time, Chen Junting withdrew his gaze. After looking at Ning Tian, he brought up the subject they had just been discussing again.

However, they had clearly avoided mentioning it in front of Wu Feng and Huo Yuhao.

"I did see a sentence like that in fragments from an Ancient Book of the Sect. I'm afraid the Immortal Herb obtained by Ancestor Ning Rongrong back then had a great deal to do with Dugu Bo from ten thousand years ago."

Ning Tian looked solemn.

The matter concerned an Immortal Herb, so there was no room for the slightest carelessness.

Even if... this was only a guess.

"If that's really the case, win him over at any cost."

Ning Tian's expression was resolute. "If he truly has clues related to the matter afterward, then even if he wants a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, we should give him a Soul Bone! The matter of the Immortal Herb concerns our Sect's ten-thousand-year legacy!" She was so agitated that even her hands trembled.

The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!

The unreachable dream of every Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master!

"I understand."

Chen Junting nodded slightly and said no more.

He knew that Ning Tian needed to calm down at that moment.

Although he also wanted to tell Ning Tian only after the information was confirmed, as Young Sect Master, she possessed the authority to make decisions.

Telling her was a sign of respect.

"Mm..."

Suddenly, an aroma drifted into the two's nostrils.

When they turned around, they saw Wu Feng already holding a piece of grilled fish in each hand and enjoying them. When she noticed Chen Junting and Ning Tian looking over, she immediately handed the fish in her right hand to Ning Tian.

"Ning Tian, this one is for you."

Just then...

"That smells great!"

A familiar voice rang out beside the four of them.
