Su Bai lowered his head and gently kissed Ning Rongrong's burning cheek.
Ning Rongrong went limp all over, her mind blank. She only felt as though her heart were about to leap out of her throat.
Su Bai covered her hands holding the gun with his own and steadied her arms.
"Do you feel it? Your Soul Power needs to flow steadily. Don't pour it all in at once."
Su Bai's palms were warm and broad, completely enveloping her small hands. An unprecedented sense of security rose within her.
Under Su Bai's guidance, Ning Rongrong injected Soul Power into the Spirit Tool Gun once more.
Bang! Bang!
This time, she fired two shots in succession. Though she still wobbled slightly, both energy bullets accurately struck a nearby tree stump, leaving two deep, charred bullet holes.
"I... I hit it!" Ning Rongrong cried out in delight.
"Mhm, our Rong Rong is very smart." Su Bai smiled and released her.
Off to the side, Xiao Wu watched the intimate scene between them, her lips puckered so far out that an oil bottle could have hung from them.
The joy of successfully using the Spirit Tool Gun had instantly vanished without a trace.
"Hmph! Rong Rong, you really know how to scheme!" Xiao Wu said sourly.
Ning Rongrong's face was flushed red. Hearing Xiao Wu's words, she smugly lifted her chin.
"What are you talking about? I'm a Support System Spirit Master, so I'm naturally weak. It's perfectly normal for me to be unable to stand steadily."
Xiao Wu stomped her foot in frustration, then ran over to Su Bai, tugging at his sleeve as she coquettishly pleaded.
"Brother Su Bai, I want it too! I want you to teach me too!"
"Alright, alright." Su Bai smiled helplessly, stepped forward, and wrapped his arms around Xiao Wu from behind in the same way.
Xiao Wu immediately leaned contentedly into his embrace, but she did not forget to turn around and make a demand.
"Brother Su Bai, you kissed Rong Rong just now."
"I know."
Su Bai kissed her soft pink cheek as well. "If Rong Rong has it, then my Xiao Wu should have it too."
Xiao Wu immediately beamed with delight and happily practiced shooting in Su Bai's arms.
Tang San, standing in the distance, witnessed the entire scene with his own eyes.
He felt as though an invisible hand had viciously clenched his heart, squeezing so hard that he could barely breathe.
Why?
Why hasn't Xiao Wu forgiven me yet?
She's being so intimate with Su Bai on purpose. She wants to provoke me and make me jealous!
That's right!
It has to be that!
Tang San kept hypnotizing himself, forcibly suppressing the urge to rush over and tear Su Bai to pieces.
I have to endure!
He who cannot endure small things will ruin great plans!
As long as I keep enduring, Xiao Wu will eventually understand my good intentions. She'll come back to my side!
Just as the three of them were having a wonderful time, a voice filled with resentment sounded from behind them.
"You three! You've got some nerve!"
The three turned around to see Headmaster Flender striding toward them with a dark expression.
"You ran out of the academy without a word and made such a huge commotion here! What do you take the academy's rules for?"
Flender had already been in a foul mood after Tang Hao scared him out of his wits yesterday. When he woke up that morning and found that Su Bai and the others—the most important "cash cows"—were gone, the anger in his heart only grew.
Following the noise, he had come over intending to give these lawless geniuses a proper scolding.
But when his gaze fell upon the pile of shattered rocks in the wasteland and the charred bullet holes in the distant tree stump, his steps abruptly halted.
Flender's expression instantly froze.
"You..."
Just as Flender was about to continue his outburst, Su Bai blocked him with a single sentence.
"Headmaster, I don't think you said there would be classes today yesterday, did you?"
Su Bai spoke calmly.
Flender was taken aback.
He thought carefully. From announcing the end of the assessment yesterday to arranging their dormitories, he truly had not mentioned any teaching arrangements for today.
Shrek Academy had never had any systematic curriculum to begin with. Most of it was practical combat and special training.
For a moment, Flender did not know how to respond.
"Hmph! Even if there aren't any classes, you still can't go around destroying things in the academy!"
Flender forcibly regained his footing.
He pointed at the huge boulder that had been blasted into rubble, then at the smoking craters in the distant tree stump, and demanded:
"What is all this about?"
The commotion Su Bai had caused drew over the remaining people from the dormitory building.
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar approached one after another.
Zhu Zhuqing had also finished warming up in an open area on the other side and slowly made her way over.
When they saw the devastation in the wasteland, all of them stopped in their tracks.
"Damn, did a meteor hit this place?"
Ma Hongjun cried out dramatically.
After giving it some thought, Oscar analyzed, "Doesn't look like it. The traces of the energy impact are very concentrated. It should have been some kind of powerful single-target spirit ability."
Dai Mubai said nothing, but his entire body tensed.
This level of destructive power was comparable to his Second Spirit Ability, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave.
Zhu Zhuqing merely glanced at the scene before shifting her attention back to Su Bai.
She knew very well that no one but Su Bai could have caused such a commotion here.
"What happened here?"
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Flender asked again.
Ning Rongrong was brimming with excitement and was just about to speak when she instinctively glanced at Su Bai.
Su Bai gave her a slight nod.
Only after receiving permission did Ning Rongrong clear her throat and raise the silver-white handgun in her hand like a proud little peacock.
"It did all this."
Flender's gaze fell upon the oddly shaped object, his face full of confusion.
"What is that? A toy?"
"A toy?"
As if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, Ning Rongrong imitated Su Bai and injected Soul Power into the gun, aiming at another intact rock in the distance.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, an energy bullet shot forth and struck the rock accurately.
The rock instantly exploded.
The confusion on Flender's face instantly turned to shock.
He stared fixedly at the "toy" in Ning Rongrong's hand, then looked at the cracked rock. He was completely dumbfounded.
A Support System Spirit Master!
A level twenty-six Grand Spirit Master!
Ning Rongrong had no attack spirit abilities at all, yet with just this thing, she had unleashed an attack comparable to that of a Power Attack System Soul Elder!
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar were all stunned as well.
They were not Flender, but they understood even more clearly what this meant.
It meant that the entire system of Combat Power might have to be rewritten.
"Th-this is a Soul Tool?"
Flender's voice trembled. As a level seventy-eight Spirit Saint, his knowledge far surpassed that of these juniors. He immediately thought of the legendary attack-type Soul Tool.
"A third-tier attack Soul Tool. Let's call it... the Spirit Breaking Spear."
Su Bai spoke calmly, confirming Flender's guess.
Flender's mind raced.
One gun could give a Support System Spirit Master the Attack Power of a Soul Elder.
What about ten? A hundred?
This thing was definitely faster than robbery when it came to making money!
