The smile on Su Bai's face could no longer be contained when he saw this reward.

This was a dimensional strike!

In this era, Soul Tool technology on Douluo Continent had long since declined.

And the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons Tang San was so proud of were nothing more than children's toys before truly systematic Soul Tools.

What Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needles? What Buddha Rage Tang Lotus?

Could they compare to the power of a single Fixed Spirit Tool Cannon shot?

As long as Su Bai could manufacture a batch of Soul Tools, he could easily arm an army far beyond the standards of this era.

When that time came, whether it was the Two Great Empires or Spirit Hall, they would all have to think twice before crossing him.

As for the final reward, ten million Gold Soul Coins

Compared to the others, it seemed rather ordinary, but it was the most practical thing he needed right now.

That old miser Flender had turned Shrek Academy into something like a slum.

Su Bai had no intention of living such a hard life.

With this money, he could immediately raise his quality of life to the fullest.

Moreover, manufacturing Soul Tools required a great deal of rare metals and startup funds.

These ten million Gold Soul Coins had come at exactly the right time.

"Haa..."

Su Bai let out a long breath and calmed his excited emotions.

Then, without hesitation, he immediately chose to accept the [Knowledge Infusion of All Types of First to Seventh-Rank Soul Tools].

There was none of the headache he had expected. Instead, a cool, gentle energy slowly flowed in through the center of his brow.

Countless Soul Tool blueprints, manufacturing techniques, material ratios, and repair methods were branded clearly into the depths of his mind.

From the simplest first-rank Lighting Spirit Tool to the seventh-rank Fixed Spirit Tool Cannon capable of threatening a Spirit Saint, all the knowledge became as natural to him as if he had been born with it.

The process was incredibly easy, without the slightest discomfort.

A Quarter Hour later, the infusion of knowledge was completely finished.

A powerful wave of drowsiness swept over him. Leaning against the headboard, Su Bai fell into a Deep Sleep.

The next day.

Sunlight streamed into the room through the cracks in the broken door.

Su Bai opened his eyes and felt completely refreshed, all of last night's exhaustion swept away.

With a thought, a design for an exquisitely shaped, futuristic Spirit Tool Handgun appeared in his mind.

A strong urge to create surged within him.

"System, you really don't know what you're doing."

Su Bai could not help complaining inwardly.

You gave me the knowledge but not the materials or tools. I don't have an engraving knife, nor do I have ores or metals. How am I supposed to start working?

Su Bai stood up, stretched his limbs, and decided to take a trip to Suotuo City to purchase some materials first.

The moment he stepped out of the room, he saw Xiao Wu waiting by the door.

Today, she had changed into a new set of pink Tight Clothing that perfectly outlined her slender waist and budding curves. Her Scorpion Braid swayed gently behind her.

"Brother Su Bai, you're awake!"

The moment Xiao Wu saw Su Bai, she hurried over with a sweet smile on her face.

"Mm. I'm heading out for a bit," Su Bai replied casually.

Just then, a figure appeared at the stairway.

Tang San carried a bag containing several large steamed buns.

He quickly walked over to Xiao Wu and forced what he believed was a gentle smile onto his face.

"Xiao Wu, I brought you breakfast."

Tang San handed over the buns, trying to repair the relationship that had shattered yesterday through this gesture.

However, Xiao Wu merely took the buns casually, her eyes remaining fixed on Su Bai.

"Brother Su Bai, where are you going?"

"To Suotuo City to buy some ore," Su Bai answered.

Before his words had even faded, Ning Rongrong's voice came from upstairs.

"Buy ore?"

"Brother Su Bai, take me with you!"

Ning Rongrong, dressed in a light blue dress, hurried down from upstairs.

"My Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda can distinguish all kinds of precious gems and metals. Bring me along, and you definitely won't get ripped off!"

Ning Rongrong moved close to Su Bai and naturally linked her arm through his, looking exceptionally intimate.

Zhu Zhuqing also stepped out of her room. She glanced at Su Bai, surrounded by the two girls, then at Tang San, frozen in place. Without saying anything, she silently walked to an open area nearby and began flexibility training.

Dai Mubai leaned against his doorframe. Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing had not gone over to join them, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked at Tang San again, the gloating in his eyes became even more obvious.

The most awkward person present was undoubtedly Tang San.

His hand holding the tray had yet to lower, yet the Xiao Wu he constantly thought about had already treated him like air.

Then, something happened that was even harder for him to accept.

Xiao Wu directly handed the breakfast Tang San had worked so hard to buy to Su Bai.

"Brother Su Bai, you haven't had breakfast yet, right? Here, eat this."

Xiao Wu's tone was so utterly natural.

Su Bai smiled.

He glanced at Tang San, whose face had instantly turned deathly pale, then unapologetically picked up a bun and took a large bite.

"Not bad."

He chewed twice, then, under everyone's stunned gazes, held the bun he had bitten up to Xiao Wu's lips.

"You have some too."

The gesture was excessively intimate.

Tang San's body began trembling uncontrollably.

Yet Xiao Wu acted as though she had not seen Tang San at all. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she obediently opened her little mouth and took a bite from the bun Su Bai offered her.

She ate with great delight, her face blooming with a happy smile.

"Mm, delicious!"

Bang!

Tang San stared fixedly at the scene of mutual affection before him. His chest rose and fell violently as streams of Soul Power rampaged through his body. He clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles cracked.

Su Bai! You have chosen the path to death!

Tang San roared inwardly, but he restrained himself from using his hidden weapons.

He would find an opportunity to dispose of Su Bai without anyone noticing.

Su Bai could not even be bothered to look at him again.

He said to Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, "All right. Since both of you want to go, then let's go together."

With that, he took the lead and headed outside the dormitory building.

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu immediately cheered and followed after him, one on each side, completely leaving the despondent Tang San behind.

Of course, they had also forgotten about Dean Flender at the Training Ground.

The three soon arrived in Suotuo City.

People bustled through the streets, and cries of vendors rang out without end.

Su Bai did not visit any of the gleaming jewelry stores. Instead, he led the two girls into a remote alley and stopped before an inconspicuous blacksmith shop.

Inside, a muscular, bare-chested man was hammering iron.

"Boss, I'd like to buy some materials," Su Bai said.

The man stopped working and looked the three of them over.

"What do you need?"

"Mithril, Adamantite, and Sinking Silver. Ten jin of each," Su Bai listed off.

These were all rare metals necessary for crafting third-rank Soul Tools, and they were quite expensive.

A trace of surprise appeared on the man's face as he reassessed the boy who looked no more than Twelve Years Old.

"Little brother, what are you buying these for? They aren't cheap."

Before Su Bai could answer, Ning Rongrong stepped forward and waved her little hand, looking quite grand.

"Boss, just bring out the goods. You won't be shorted on payment!"

As she spoke, she directly pulled out a heavy bag of Gold Soul Coins from her Storage Spirit Tool and tossed it onto the counter.

"Is this enough?"

The man weighed the money bag in his hand, and his expression immediately turned enthusiastic.

"Enough, enough! Please wait a moment, I'll get the goods for you right away!"

Before long, the materials were ready.

Ning Rongrong hurried to pay, then handed the bag of rare metals to Su Bai like she was presenting a treasure.

"Brother Su Bai, here!"

Su Bai did not stand on ceremony. He took the bag and smiled as he pinched Ning Rongrong's cheek.

"Our little rich girl is certainly generous."

Ning Rongrong's cheeks immediately reddened, though her heart was sweet with happiness.

After returning to Shrek Academy, Su Bai had the two girls wait outside while he carried the materials into the rundown dormitory room.

He needed an engraving knife.

The blueprint for the simplest Spirit Tool Engraving Knife surfaced in his mind. Su Bai took a small piece of Adamantite from the materials and activated his Soul Power.

A cluster of golden Kirin Flame rose from his palm.

The Adamantite quickly melted and changed shape within the flames. Under his precise control, it soon formed a sharp, compact engraving knife.

With the tool in hand, the rest became simple.

Cutting, shaping, smelting, engraving the Core Array...

One complex process after another flowed from Su Bai's hands with effortless ease.

His movements were precise and efficient, without the slightest pause, as though he had done it tens of thousands of times before.

Two hours later.

Three compact handguns with futuristic designs, forged entirely from silver-white metal and gleaming with faint energy, lay quietly on the table.

Su Bai pushed open the door and walked outside.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong immediately crowded around him.

"Brother Su Bai, what did you make?"

Su Bai handed each of them a handgun.

"Gifts for you."

"They're called Spirit Tool Guns. As long as you infuse them with Soul Power, they can fire energy bullets."

The two girls curiously accepted the handguns and turned them over in their hands, their faces full of wonder.

Just then, a gloomy voice came from nearby.

"What's the use of tinkering with children's toys like those?"

Tang San had appeared there at some point. As he looked at the Spirit Tool Guns in Su Bai's hands, his face was filled with undisguised contempt.

In his view, these flashy but impractical things were worlds apart from the exquisite hidden weapons of the Tang Sect.

Su Bai slowly turned his head at those words.

He calmly looked at Tang San, then let his gaze fall upon the inconspicuous Wrist Dart Mechanism on Tang San's wrist.

"If mine are toys, then what you have in your hand is even more of a toy."
