Xu Tianxi, Limited by Materials: Soul Masters and Soul Tools Are Not Incompatible (Happy New Year)

The next day, under everyone's watchful eyes.

Xu Tianxi walked out of the single-room dormitory suite and followed Jing Hongchen to the entrance examination site.

"Tian Xi, you already know the requirements. This is just a formality, so do as you please."

Jing Hongchen patted Xu Tianxi on the shoulder, telling him not to feel pressured and to relax.

Xu Tianxi grunted, "Mm," then walked to the metal workbench in the center of the room. He snatched up a Standard Engraving Knife with his right hand and drew a piece of metal over with his left. He processed the rare metal with practiced ease, the blade in his hand flashing with icy brilliance as he engraved the array patterns. He immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Lin Jiayi said in surprise, "dean, he's moving very quickly. It seems he intends to engrave a Level 2 Soul Tool right from the start."

Jing Hongchen's fixed gaze did not waver as he said quietly, "His technique doesn't look as though he's only capable of engraving a Level 2 Soul Tool Core Array..."

"You mean..."

"There aren't enough materials on the table. They may be limiting what he can do."

Half an hour later, Xu Tianxi had knocked and hammered his way through the shaping, casting, quenching, and polishing of the Soul Tool casing on the workbench. The dazzling flurry of motion left everyone's eyes swimming until they gradually narrowed into slits.

They were very familiar with this thing: a Fixed Soul Cannon Shell and its Cannon Shell Launcher. And they were Level 2!

"My Soul Tool is ready." Xu Tianxi raised the loaded Level 2 Fixed Soul Guided Cannon and waved it toward Lin Jiayi in greeting.

"Dean, this..." Cold sweat broke out on Lin Jiayi's forehead as he looked helplessly toward Jing Hongchen.
