Only this explanation could account for everything.
Flender sighed and asked no more questions.
These little monsters were more mysterious than the last. As their dean, he found them harder and harder to see through.
At the same time.
Outside the academy, atop an unremarkable towering tree.
Tang Hao took all of this in.
When he heard Flender say they would go to the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow, a cruel curve appeared on his weather-beaten face.
It was finally here.
Su Bai, your time to die has come.
He had already planned everything. As long as they entered the Star Dou Great Forest, he would stir up a group of thousand-year Spirit Beasts and create a small-scale beast tide.
When the time came, the scene would be chaotic, and Su Bai would "accidentally" die beneath the claws of a Spirit Beast. No one would be able to find anything suspicious.
Without anyone knowing.
However, Tang Hao did not know that just as he thought himself the hunter, high above in the clouds, a figure was quietly looking down at him.
Ye Xishui hovered in the air, her purplish-red long hair drifting in the wind.
She looked at the smug Tang Hao below as if she were looking at a ridiculous clown.
If not for Master's orders to leave this man surnamed Tang alone for the time being, then based solely on the Killing Intent he had just revealed toward Master, Ye Xishui had ten thousand ways to make him vanish from this world without a sound.
A mere level ninety-five Titled Douluo with internal injuries dared to show off in front of Master?
Utterly laughable.
Late at night, all was quiet.
In Su Bai's room.
Ye Xishui knelt on one knee and presented several strange creations that gave off a metallic sheen with both hands.
"Master, the Flying Spirit Tools you requested have been completed."
Su Bai picked up one of them. It was a back accessory with a sleek shape, like metal wings, and its surface was engraved with intricate Soul Power circuits.
"This is a fourth-rank 'Wing of the Wind Chaser.' With your Soul Power, you can control it with ease."
Ye Xishui then pointed to the other three smaller ones.
"These three are third-rank 'Light Feather.' They are enough for Ning Rongrong and the others to use."
Su Bai nodded in satisfaction.
As expected of a Tenth-level Spirit Master. This efficiency and craftsmanship were beyond reproach.
With this thing, tomorrow's trip to Star Dou would be much more interesting.
Early the next morning, the sky had just begun to brighten.
Everyone from Shrek Academy had already gathered on the training field.
Flender cleared his throat, looking as if he were preparing them for a long-distance training march.
"All right, everyone's here. The Star Dou Great Forest is not close to Suotuo City. We'll set off now and run there. It'll be perfect for training your physical strength and endurance!"
Ma Hongjun and Oscar let out a wail.
Tang San and Dai Mubai did not show much of a reaction. To them, this bit of physical training was nothing.
Su Bai, however, yawned and unhurriedly took something out of his Spirit Tool.
It was a palm-sized, peculiar device made from an unknown metal. Its shape resembled folded wings, and its surface was covered in complex golden patterns that flowed with a faint glow beneath the morning light.
"Dean Flender, running is too slow."
As Su Bai spoke, he pressed the metal wings against his back.
With several soft clicks, the device unfolded automatically, turning into a pair of streamlined metal wings more than a meter long, firmly fixed to his back.
Everyone present froze.
"Brother Bai, what is this? It's so pretty!"
Ning Rongrong curiously leaned closer, reaching out to touch the wings that shone with a metallic luster.
Xiao Wu also widened her eyes and circled Su Bai once, her face full of surprise.
Zhu Zhuqing did not speak, but she was also staring intently at the pair of wings, clearly unable to understand what they were.
Flender and Zhao Wuji were even more baffled.
Was this thing a Martial Soul? It did not look like one.
Was it a Spirit Bone? It looked even less like one.
"This is a Flying Spirit Tool."
Su Bai explained casually, then willed it, pouring Soul Power into the "Wing of the Wind Chaser" on his back.
With a faint hum, the golden patterns on the metal wings lit up instantly. A gentle thrust emerged, and Su Bai's feet slowly left the ground as he hovered steadily in midair.
He even flipped over lightly in the air, his movements smooth and effortless.
At that moment, the entire training ground fell dead silent.
Everyone lifted their heads, mouths hanging open, staring blankly at Su Bai as he hung in the sky.
Flight!
Apart from martial souls that could fly, an ordinary Spirit Master had to reach the level of a Titled Douluo before they could fly!
Yet Su Bai, a mere Soul Elder, had actually risen into the air right before their eyes!
"A... a Spirit Tool? A Spirit Tool that can make someone fly?"
Flender's voice was trembling. In those shrewd, gleaming eyes of his, only three big words were left now: "Gold Soul Coin"!
How much would this thing be worth if he sold it?
Zhao Wuji was just as shaken. He considered himself immensely powerful, but faced with something so unheard of, he felt his own insignificance.
"Brother Bai! I want one too! I want one too!"
Ning Rongrong was the first to react. She jumped in place and shouted at Su Bai in the sky, her face full of longing.
"Me too! Brother Su Bai, I want to fly too!" Xiao Wu refused to be outdone.
Su Bai chuckled and slowly descended to the ground.
He flicked his finger, and three smaller "Light Feather" appeared in his hand.
"You're all my women, so of course you each get one."
Su Bai handed the three Flying Spirit Tools to Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing respectively.
"But this thing isn't easy to operate the first time you use it, so be careful."
The three girls treated them like priceless treasures and immediately copied Su Bai, installing the Flying Spirit Tools on their backs.
At the side, Oscar and Ma Hongjun watched with their mouths practically watering.
"Damn, Boss is way too biased! Why do they get them, but we don't?"
Ma Hongjun muttered under his breath, his tone filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
Oscar let out a long sigh. He felt that the distance between him and Ning Rongrong had once again been widened by an insurmountable gulf.
Dai Mubai stood off to the side, his fists clenching and loosening inside his sleeves, his expression so gloomy it seemed water could drip from it.
As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, he had seen countless treasures, yet he had never seen anything so miraculous.
The stronger and more mysterious Su Bai appeared, the more it highlighted Dai Mubai's own incompetence and failure.
As for Tang San, he said nothing at all.
Inwardly, he was more shocked than anyone.
A Spirit Tool!
The Tang Sect of his previous life also had similar mechanical hidden weapons, but compared to this device before him that could let someone fly freely, those things truly could not be mentioned in the same breath!
This Su Bai really deserved to die!
Tang San subconsciously touched the poison hidden in his robes, a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.
Su Bai had to die!
Just then, Ning Rongrong could no longer wait and poured her Soul Power into "Light Feather."
"Ahhh!!!"
With a scream, Ning Rongrong shot uncontrollably into the sky like a headless fly, spinning wildly through the air.
"Help! Brother Bai!"
