Overcome by Rage

"Madam, why have you gone silent?"

Dr. Ratio's voice was gentle, but his words were like a massive hammer striking heavily against Bibi Dong's heart.

Bibi Dong instinctively took half a step back.

Deep down, she knew that nothing Dr. Ratio had said earlier was false. If anything, he had held back.

An ordinary person wielding a Soul Tool Handgun really could take down a Soul Elder or even a Soul Ancestor!

Something this powerful had actually appeared out in the open.

Before this, even with the knowledge of the Pope of Spirit Hall, she had never heard of such a thing.

That meant Dr. Ratio was most likely the inventor of the Soul Tool Handgun.

Bibi Dong's blood-red eyes were filled with disbelief.

That useless, gloomy, bizarre live-in son-in-law who seemed good for nothing in her mind had actually achieved something like this.

If Yu Xiaogang had made it, she would probably have spared no effort to help him return to Spirit Hall and receive the glory he deserved.

But this was Dr. Ratio, whom she deeply disliked!

And he had even spoken disrespectfully of Yu Xiaogang!

"Madam, do you still have any doubts about my words?" Dr. Ratio continued asking gently.

No expression could appear on his plaster face.

Yet when Bibi Dong looked at him, she still felt as though he wore the smile of a victor.

Could Yu Xiaogang truly be inferior to him?

In Bibi Dong's heart, Yu Xiaogang had already been infinitely idealized!

Yu Xiaogang was the wisest, most handsome, most magnificent... and the one she admired most!

Now that Yu Xiaogang's status had been challenged, Bibi Dong bit her lower lip and forcibly restrained her killing intent. She had to restore Yu Xiaogang to glory!

As she desperately suppressed her negative emotions, two forces erupted within her body.

It was as though there were a bomb inside her, its fuse already lit.

Either she could slaughter everyone and kill Dr. Ratio.

But then Yu Xiaogang truly would be smeared by him, and even she would begin to question Yu Xiaogang.

Or she could completely suppress those negative emotions and hide all the danger within her heart.

Then she alone would be the one hurt!

Bibi Dong chose the latter. After a moment of silence, she gritted her teeth and asked, "No... Soul Masters can not only attack, they can also defend! You are merely a..."

"Which is why I made another Soul Tool."

Dr. Ratio spoke with a smile. At the same time, he took out a small round disc and held it in his hand. The next second, the disc suddenly expanded outward and released a shield of light!

"I named this the Index Light Shield. It has automatic guidance and warning capabilities. Of course, its principles are complicated—not something you can understand. You only need to know what it does."

"Light Feather, shoot me."

Dr. Ratio said with a smile.

"..." The students all felt helpless at those words.

Here it came. This was Dr. Ratio's true attitude.

Whenever he taught them, it was as though they were all idiots.

But they should not forget that, in the eyes of others, they were genius Soul Masters whom Spirit Hall focused on cultivating!

Only Dr. Ratio could make them feel such contempt, as if their intelligence had been utterly crushed.

Of course, they truly could not say anything to refute him right now.

Though they had not personally experienced the Soul Tool Handgun from earlier, simply watching it was enough for them to know that they would have a hard time blocking that bullet!

Especially if it caught them by surprise!

Now that Dr. Ratio had taken out another light shield, they understood even less.

Even if Dr. Ratio mocked them, they could only endure it!

Bibi Dong's heart tightened instinctively. If he could even manage defense, then did that mean Dr. Ratio truly was stronger than Yu Xiaogang?

That was a fact she was unwilling to face no matter what.

She would never allow anyone to destroy Yu Xiaogang's perfect image in her heart!

Bang...!

The next second, Light Feather Douluo directly pulled the trigger at Dr. Ratio.

The Soul Tool Handgun spat out a flash of fire.

A bullet shot forth.

In the next instant, Dr. Ratio's arm trembled slightly. At the edge of the light shield he held, as though it were made of rubbery material, the bullet embedded itself within and could advance no farther.

Dr. Ratio explained:

"The light shield is not a shield in the traditional sense. Within a Soul Power shield roughly one centimeter thick, it is like jelly and can reduce the force of impact."

"Moreover, since it is formed from Soul Power, it can absorb energy while also insulating against great amounts of heat and cold."

Dr. Ratio reached out and removed the Soul Power bullet from the light shield.

"!!!"

Everyone present was stunned by this sight.

They had all witnessed the power of the Soul Tool Handgun.

Yet now, the light shield could perfectly counter the Soul Tool Handgun.

Then there was no need even to mention Soul Skills. Soul Skills generally did not possess such concealment.

Light Feather Douluo spun the Soul Tool Handgun and gave Dr. Ratio a thumbs-up.

"As expected of you, Dr. Ratio. Your ingenious ideas always make us see you in a new light." Light Feather Douluo praised him without hesitation.

With the eye of an old Titled Douluo, he could completely see the value of these two items!

Calling them worth a fortune would not be an exaggeration at all!

And such brilliant concepts had been researched by Dr. Ratio!

"Damn..." Yan muttered.

He had originally been deeply unconvinced by Dr. Ratio and had scoffed at Martial Soul Theory.

But the two Soul Tools Dr. Ratio had brought out now directly shattered his fixed impression of researchers.

"This is simply outrageous! With these two things, even an ordinary person could probably rival a Soul Elder, right?"

Hu Liena's eyes widened. Without a doubt, Dr. Ratio had proven himself again, delivering her teacher a resounding slap across the face. What would her teacher think?

Hu Liena could keenly sense that something was wrong with her teacher's state.

And now this was adding fuel to the fire...

Bibi Dong quickly stepped forward and grabbed Dr. Ratio's light shield, exerting force with her hand.

Powerful Soul Power burst forth from her palm.

Creak... pop...

Cracks instantly spread across the light shield.

The next second, it shattered completely.

At that moment, Bibi Dong's eyes seemed ready to shoot out bloody light as she stared fixedly at Dr. Ratio.

If looks could kill, Dr. Ratio might already have been erased from existence.

At some point, black mist-like light began emanating from Bibi Dong's body.

Wave after wave of palpitating aura radiated from within her.

Light Feather Douluo hurried forward and stood in front of Dr. Ratio.

Looking at Bibi Dong's chaotic aura, Dr. Ratio sighed softly and said:

"A failed life is still a life. Fools also have the right to savor their own lives to the very end. Yu Xiaogang may indeed be a fool, but he can still be considered a hardworking fool."

Dr. Ratio praised Yu Xiaogang against his true feelings.

"..." Bibi Dong clenched her teeth. Her cherished beloved... was a fool?

Seeing this, Dr. Ratio turned his head. "Only when fools fall to the ground with no one to help them up can they understand how to truly stand again. He was laughable in the past; perhaps he may make some breakthrough in the future..."

"!!!"

Bibi Dong instantly could not hold herself together anymore. This was even more unbearable to her than directly insulting Yu Xiaogang. At that moment, a muffled boom seemed to sound within her body!
