Couldn't Kill Yu Xiaogang with One Arrow?

"Ya Wen, Soul Tools are machines powered by Soul Power. Do you think it might be possible for ordinary civilians—people without Soul Power—to use them too?"

Shen Nuonuo raised her question.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if ordinary people could use Soul Tools too?

Ya Wen's brows drew together slightly. "Nuonuo, under the current conditions, I'm afraid that would be very difficult. Perhaps it can be achieved in the future."

Qian Daoliu and Qingluan Douluo clearly had not expected Shen Nuonuo to ask such a question.

Hearing this, Shen Nuonuo also knew she had been naïve. At present, Ya Wen was the only genuine Soul Engineer, and the development of Soul Tools was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

"Alright! I was too impatient!" Shen Nuonuo scratched her head.

Ya Wen chuckled. "It's fine. Perhaps one day, we'll find an energy source that can replace Soul Power."

Qingluan Douluo waved a hand. "We can talk about the future later. Hey, you just mentioned offensive and defensive Soul Tools. Can you make them? This old man would like to see how effective they are."

"Fifth Grandfather, to be honest, whether they're offensive or defensive Soul Tools, they'd be useless to you." Ya Wen raised a brow slightly.

Shen Nuonuo also felt that Ya Wen made sense.

That was true. Although Ya Wen was only a Level Seven Spirit Tool Master, the Soul Tools she made were merely comparable to Spirit Saint-level power. Fifth Grandfather was already a peak Douluo, so these things were far too useless for him.

Qingluan Douluo pursed his lips, looking somewhat dejected.

Seeing Guangling's expression, Ya Wen felt a little helpless and went against her conscience as she said, "Fifth Grandfather, you can still play with them. It's fine."

She knew Qingluan Douluo was old enough to be her grandfather, but he had the face of a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy. She actually found him a little pitiful!

"Ahem! Since everyone wants to see it, why don't we try it out at the back mountain?"

Qian Daoliu, who had been ignored all along, finally spoke.

"Alright!"

"Sure!"

Spirit Hall's back mountain.

Qian Daoliu and Qingluan Douluo stood together, while Shen Nuo and Ya Wen stood opposite them.

Ya Wen took out a Level Seven fixed-installation Soul Tool from the blue storage ring on her right hand.

It was a silver-white metal tube roughly one meter long, with a cross-sectional diameter of around ten centimeters. Its rear end was wider than the front, and all sorts of patterns had been inscribed across its surface.

Ya Wen skillfully fitted the Soul Tool onto her right forearm, then checked whether there were enough shells inside the metal tube. Upon opening it, she found that there were three remaining.

It was not much, but it would be enough.

A pale green light flashed in Ya Wen's eyes. After injecting Soul Power into it, she adjusted the position of the Soul Tool on her right arm again, placed her left hand at its center, and began aiming into the distance.

Very soon.

She pulled the trigger.

Two dazzling, blinding white beams shot out in rapid succession from the metal tube of the Soul Tool.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The two beams crossed several hundred meters and struck the mountain directly.

"Rumble!"

A violent roar rang out.

The tremendous sound nearly shattered everyone's eardrums.

Shen Nuonuo had already moved farther away and covered her ears when Ya Wen began preparing, yet she still found it deafening.

Qian Daoliu and Qingluan Douluo both stared in surprise at the smoke and dust rising into the sky from the mountain. Though thick smoke spread everywhere, with the eyesight of Titled Douluo, they could naturally see through the white haze and observe the scene within.

The enormous force generated by the explosion instantly swept over the mountain. Massive boulders fell from midair one after another, the entire mountain shaking as though it had been struck by a heavy hammer. Broken stones even tumbled down from the summit.

"Damn, this Soul Tool is really powerful!"

After the smoke dispersed, Shen Nuonuo could not help but marvel at the sight.

Qingluan Douluo sucked in a breath. He had never expected such a little thing, no longer than an arm, to possess such immense power.

"Not bad." Qian Daoliu also revealed a look of amazement.

He was thinking further ahead.

What kind of scene would it be when these Soul Tools were used in warfare in the future?

The Heaven Dou Imperial Family and the Star Luo Empire had long been dissatisfied with Spirit Hall. They merely lacked sufficient strength, and because Spirit Hall was the sacred ground of Soul Masters across the land, they had not dared to make a move.

Ya Wen looked at the distant mountain, also very pleased that the Level Six fixed-installation Soul Tool she had made could achieve such an effect.

"Miss Ya Wen, do you have any other Soul Tools?" Qingluan Douluo's gaze was full of admiration.

"Of course. I have one here that bears some resemblance to Fifth Grandfather's martial soul."

Ya Wen put away the previous Soul Tool and took out a bow from her ring.

"This Soul Tool is called the Ice Extreme Cold Bow. It is also a Level Seven Soul Tool."

Its appearance was elegant and exquisite, with gleaming blue gemstones embedded in its body, as though it emitted an intoxicating chill. Inside the bow, tiny ant-like inscriptions had also been carved, forming beautiful patterns of a starry river.

This was a Level Seven Soul Tool crafted from nearly fifty kinds of soul crystals and sky-blue ice jade, possessing formidable power. This Soul Tool had been given the meaning of the word "extreme," representing the dual concepts of "extreme speed" and "extreme ice."

When fired, the arrows of the Ice Extreme Cold Bow could be imbued with extreme ice power, granting them the ability to freeze and tear apart their targets.

"Can I try it?" Qingluan Douluo's hands itched. This was the first time he had seen such a distinctive bow apart from his own martial soul.

Ya Wen hummed in agreement and handed the Ice Extreme Cold Bow to Qingluan Douluo.

The user of the Ice Extreme Cold Bow had to possess exceptional archery skills and precise target perception in order to accurately lock onto a target and strike it with a single arrow amid the ever-changing battlefield.

If one were to name the greatest bow user on Douluo Continent, Qingluan Douluo might only call himself second; no one would dare claim first place.

After all, those who came before had heard the Way first, and each profession had its own specialty.

"Fifth Grandfather, you only need to inject Soul Power and aim."

"Understood!"

Qingluan Douluo took the Ice Extreme Cold Bow, gripped the bowstring with both hands, and injected Soul Power into it. Blue Soul Power flowed from his palm into the blue-glowing inscription at the center of the bow.

"Buzz!"

With a tremor, blue light erupted instantly, and the bowstring transformed into a streak of blue light that shot toward the heavens. Immediately afterward, a sharp whistling sound tore through the air as a blue arrow, carrying terrifying icy power, surged into the sky.

The instant the arrow was fired, the somewhat dark clouds in the sky were torn apart, revealing a stretch of brilliant blue sky.

The arrow seemed to split the heavens itself, moving at an unimaginable speed, like lightning flashing across the sky.

"So powerful!"

Shen Nuonuo stood at an angle behind them, watching the Ice Extreme Cold Bow.

This Level Seven Soul Tool really is impressive. Speaking of this bow, I'm reminded that Fifth Grandfather would later fail to kill that Trash Master Yu Xiaogang with a single arrow during the great battle at Jialing Pass.
