Flender's breathing grew heavy.

He took two steps as one and practically rushed over to Su Bai.

His face, which usually looked somewhat mean because of his stinginess, was now plastered with a fawning smile.

"Su Bai."

"Do you think this... Spirit Breaking Spear could... be mass-produced?"

Flender rubbed his hands together, looking exactly like a Yellow Weasel that had spotted a chicken leg.

All the academy rules, all the talk of causing trouble—he threw it all to the back of his mind.

He could practically see countless Gold Soul Coins flying toward him like snowflakes.

With this thing, would he still need to calculate every last Gold Soul Coin every day?

Shrek Academy could directly expand into the number one academy on Douluo Continent!

However, Su Bai merely handed the Spirit Breaking Spear to Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing nearby with a curious look on her face, allowing her to try it as well.

He turned slightly to the side and did not even give Flender a proper look.

"No."

Su Bai's answer was simple and direct, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Dean Flender, if this thing could really be mass-produced, do you think you have the strength to do this business?"

The smile on Flender's face froze.

Su Bai's words were like a basin of icy water, dousing the heat in his heart.

He wanted to refute him. He wanted to say that he was, after all, a Level Seventy-eight Spirit Saint and a prominent figure in Suotuo City.

But when the words reached his lips, he could not say them.

Because he knew Su Bai was right.

At that moment, Ning Rongrong chuckled and walked over.

She hooked her arm around Su Bai's, her posture intimate, yet she looked at Flender with scrutiny.

"Dean Flender, Brother Su Bai is right."

"If a Soul Tool of this level could really be mass-produced, let alone you, even our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have to think twice."

"By then, the ones coming to your door would not be customers, but the Two Great Empires, perhaps even Spirit Hall."

Ning Rongrong's words made perfect sense.

Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's sect master would have to think twice?

The Two Great Empires?

Spirit Hall?

Flender's mind, which had been clouded by Gold Soul Coins, instantly cooled down.

A layer of cold sweat seeped across his back.

That was right. How had he failed to consider that?

A common man was innocent, but possessing a treasure invited disaster.

Once something capable of changing the course of war was exposed, a tiny Shrek Academy like his probably would not even have bones left behind.

Watching the changes in Flender's expression, Su Bai finally nodded in satisfaction.

He turned around to face everyone.

"It seems everyone is very interested in my things."

Su Bai swept his gaze around the group, took back the Spirit Breaking Spear from Zhu Zhuqing, and spoke unhurriedly.

"Let me introduce myself. I come from a Hidden Clan that has specialized in the research and inheritance of Soul Tools since ancient times."

Su Bai spoke with a straight face, without the slightest trace of a lie showing on his face.

"This Spirit Breaking Spear is merely a little toy for self-defense."

The moment those words came out, the entire place fell silent.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar's jaws nearly dropped to the ground.

A weapon comparable to a Soul Elder's full-force strike was only a toy for self-defense?

Then how terrifying were the real Soul Tools?

A Hidden Clan?

No wonder!

No wonder he was already a Level Thirty-five Soul Elder at Twelve Years Old!

No wonder his Spirit Ring Configuration of yellow, purple, purple was so absurd!

No wonder he could take out something like this!

In an instant, everyone felt that every previously unreasonable thing about Su Bai had received the most perfect explanation.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Su Bai's profile, and the last trace of doubt in her heart vanished.

So such a massive force stood behind him.

That only made Zhu Zhuqing's resolve to grow stronger even firmer. Following in the footsteps of the strong was the correct choice.

Only Xiao Wu burst out laughing when she heard Su Bai's words.

She laughed so hard her body shook like a flower in the wind, and tears nearly came out.

"Hahaha... Brother Su Bai, you really..."

"What Hidden Clan heir? You clearly are..."

Halfway through her sentence, Xiao Wu suddenly felt Su Bai's arm wrap around her waist and tighten slightly.

She immediately understood and swallowed the rest of her words.

The fact that Brother Su Bai was an Auspicious Beast could not be revealed to others.

She cleared her throat and changed her words. "You're obviously the greatest genius in your clan!"

Everyone was somewhat confused by Xiao Wu's reaction, but they quickly filled in the blanks themselves. They assumed it was merely some light flirting between childhood sweethearts.

Not far away, Tang San took all of this in.

A hidden Soul Tool clan?

Tang San sneered inwardly.

Once I find a chance to kill you without anyone noticing, no matter what clan stands behind you, they'll have no choice but to suffer in silence.

Flender had completely lost his temper by then. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and forced out a smile uglier than crying at Su Bai.

"So you are a disciple of a Hidden Clan. My apologies, my apologies."

"Then... Su Bai, since this thing cannot be mass-produced, why did you make it...?"

"Oh, this?"

Su Bai pointed at the Spirit Breaking Spears in Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu's hands.

"It's nothing. I just made them for Rong Rong and Xiao Wu to protect themselves."

"Girls are bound to run into danger when they are out and about. Especially Rong Rong. With this, I can worry a little less."

Ning Rongrong held the icy-cold Spirit Breaking Spear, and her heart began pounding uncontrollably.

Xiao Wu was even happier. She directly jumped onto Su Bai's back and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Brother Su Bai, you're so good to me!"

Dai Mubai watched this scene with a grim expression.

Oscar's face was filled with envy. When would he be able to be so generous as to give a girl a "gift" of this level?

Ma Hongjun had already made up his mind to build a good relationship with Su Bai in the future. He wanted to learn something from him, or get one of those guns to play with.

He was only a Soul Grandmaster now. If he had this weapon, would he not be invincible when flying high and attacking downward?

Flender looked at the two priceless Spirit Breaking Spears being given away as gifts, and his heart ached so badly it twitched.

Those were mountains of gold!

But he did not dare say anything more.

Thus, the disturbance came to an end.

Flender cleared his throat and announced that everyone would have the day off. Shrek's special training would officially begin tomorrow. Then he slunk away dejectedly.

He needed to go back, calm down, and process the shock he had received today.

The others also dispersed in twos and threes.

Holding the Spirit Breaking Spear, Ning Rongrong walked over to Su Bai.

"Brother Su Bai, I... I have something to do. I want to make a trip to Suotuo City."

Ning Rongrong's cheeks were slightly red, as though she had made some kind of decision.

"Go on. It's a good chance to see whether the gun works well." Su Bai smiled and pinched her cheek.

"You're awful!"

Ning Rongrong let out an adorable huff, then turned and quickly ran outside the academy.

Su Bai watched her departing figure, the corner of his mouth curling up.

Rong Rong is already hooked.

Su Bai put an arm around Xiao Wu, who was still hanging off him, and headed toward the dormitory as well.

"Brother Su Bai, what are we doing next?"

"Going back to the room. I'll teach you some new positions."

"Ah? What positions?"

"The proper way to use a Soft Bone Rabbit."
