The inconspicuous Wrist Dart Mechanism on Tang San's wrist became especially glaring under Su Bai's gaze.

His whole body stiffened, his face twisted with fury.

"What did you say?"

Tang San's voice was filled with rage.

Su Bai casually tossed the Spirit Tool Gun in his hand. Its silver-white body traced a graceful arc through the air before landing steadily back in his grasp.

He did not even spare Tang San another glance, merely smiling at Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong beside him.

"Want to see what this new toy can do?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong answered in unison, their faces full of excitement and curiosity.

"You..."

Tang San's chest heaved violently. The humiliation of being ignored was even harder for him to bear than direct mockery.

He stepped forward, Soul Power surging within him as he prepared to make a move by force.

"Su Bai! If you've got the guts, fight me fair and square!"

Tang San's voice rang out loudly, carrying barely restrained fury.

Yet Su Bai merely turned his head and shot him a glance as though he were looking at an idiot.

"Fight you?"

Su Bai gave a soft laugh, his voice dripping with contempt.

"Are you worthy?"

The next moment, an Auspicious Beast's aura emerged, directly causing Tang San's Blue Silver Grass to manifest on its own. Tang San was utterly shocked.

Then, the Auspicious Aura transformed into a murderous, baleful presence, frightening Tang San's Blue Silver Grass into shrinking back.

"How is this possible?!"

Tang San discovered in shock that he could no longer control his own martial soul!

Su Bai paid him no more attention. Wrapping an arm around Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu's slender waists, he headed outside the dormitory.

"Come on. I'll take you somewhere more spacious. Our dorm building is too run-down—don't tear the place apart later."

"Yay!"

Xiao Wu cheered and affectionately leaned against Su Bai.

Ning Rongrong also smiled sweetly and took the initiative to lean against him.

The three chatted and laughed, their figures quickly disappearing around the corner of the dormitory building.

Only Tang San remained, standing there alone.

Tang San stared fixedly in the direction the three had gone, his nails digging into the flesh of his palms without him feeling any pain.

"Su Bai..."

Tang San forced himself to calm down.

He could not act impulsively.

It was not time yet.

Xiao Wu was only angry. She had to be with Su Bai to provoke him this way and make him stronger.

Yes, that had to be it.

Tang San constructed a fragile excuse for himself, then silently followed after them.

He wanted to see what that so-called "toy" really was.

On the outskirts of Shrek Academy lay a patch of wasteland.

It was littered with scattered rocks and half-broken stumps destroyed by the aftermath of battles. Clearly, it was where the students usually sparred.

Su Bai brought Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong there, with the gloomy Tang San following some distance behind.

"Brother Su Bai, what exactly is this?"

Xiao Wu held the silver-white Spirit Tool Gun, turning it over and over in her hands. It felt cool to the touch, and its body bore strange patterns she could not understand.

"Something that can hit people." Su Bai was concise.

Su Bai stopped before a massive boulder half a person's height tall, about ten meters away.

"Watch closely."

Su Bai raised the Spirit Tool Gun with one hand, extending his arm straight and aiming at the boulder ahead.

He made no unnecessary movements. He merely slowly poured Soul Power through the grip and into the gun's body.

The Soul Power gathering formation inscribed on the grip glimmered faintly as energy rapidly condensed within the barrel.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Su Bai did not charge it up and simply pulled the trigger. Three muffled blasts erupted one after another.

Three dazzling white energy bullets shot out in a triangular formation, crossing the ten-meter distance in an instant and slamming heavily into the boulder. Without even a moment's pause, the boulder exploded under the violent energy impact. Broken stones scattered everywhere, leaving only fragments on the ground.

Xiao Wu's little mouth fell open wide enough to fit a grilled sausage, her large eyes filled with disbelief.

She knew Su Bai was powerful, but she had never expected something he casually made to be this powerful too!

Is this Lord Auspicious Beast?

Ning Rongrong's reaction was even more intense.

She stared hard at the pile of rubble, then looked at the Spirit Tool Gun in her hands. Even her breathing became hurried.

Ning Rongrong was not a naive fool like Xiao Wu. As someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, her perspective and knowledge far surpassed those of ordinary people.

She instantly understood this thing's value!

What did this mean?

It meant that a Support System Spirit Master—a Support System Spirit Master with virtually no offensive ability—could possess destructive power comparable to that of a Power Attack System Spirit Master as long as they had this gun!

If this thing's power could become even stronger and it could be mass-produced...

Ning Rongrong did not dare think any further. She felt her heart pounding wildly.

This was no longer a simple Soul Tool. It was a strategic weapon capable of changing the entire continent's balance of power!

She looked at Su Bai's profile. A faint smile rested on his handsome face.

Just how many secrets was this man still hiding?

In the distance, Tang San's pupils contracted sharply as well.

He had seen everything. The power of those three energy bullets sent a shiver through his heart.

That level of power was already no weaker than the full-force strike of a Soul Elder in their thirties.

And it was incredibly fast, with almost no warning.

If this thing were used for a sneak attack...

Tang San subconsciously touched the Wrist Dart Mechanism on his wrist.

His hidden weapons excelled in secrecy, poison, and breaking through enemies at a single point.

But in terms of frontal destructive power, aside from top-tier hidden weapons, most of them could not compare to that gun.

Still, Tang San quickly regained his composure.

He sneered inwardly.

Just some flashy nonsense.

No matter how destructive it is, can it compare to my Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record?

True killing techniques were silent and unseen.

His poison was his strongest method.

As long as someone's skin was even slightly grazed by one of his hidden weapons, even a Titled Douluo would have to think twice.

"Wow! Brother Su Bai, I want to try too!"

Xiao Wu could no longer wait. Imitating Su Bai, she raised the Spirit Tool Gun and aimed it at another stone.

She poured Soul Power into it, then pulled the trigger with all her strength.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and an energy bullet flew forth, but its aim was wildly off, striking the empty ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

More importantly, the recoil from firing the Spirit Tool Gun jolted her petite body backward, nearly making her fall.

Ning Rongrong tried as well, with equally miserable results.

She was a Support System Spirit Master after all, and her physical strength was naturally weak. The recoil numbed her arm, and she had no idea where the muzzle had ended up pointing.

"Ah!" Ning Rongrong cried softly, her body swaying unsteadily.

Just then, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her from behind.

Su Bai's warm chest pressed tightly against her back, and a unique scent enveloped Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong's body instantly stiffened, her cheeks flushing bright red.

"Don't move around. Keep your body steady and lower your center of gravity."

Su Bai's voice sounded beside her ear, his warm breath making it itch.

"I'll teach you."
