Disregarding propriety, Ning Feng grabbed him and hurried toward a testing room.

When they opened the room, both Chen Xin and Ning Qinghe sensed the violent Soul Power within. The sturdy room had nearly been reduced to an abandoned ruin.

It had to be said that the room had been furnished with high-grade materials specifically for testing. And it had still ended up like this?

At the very least, a Soul King would not have been capable of causing this much damage.

"Where is it?" Ning Qinghe looked at Ning Feng beside him.

"It's already gone." Ning Feng spoke awkwardly.

Before Ning Qinghe could show his displeasure, he continued.

"Dean, what I want to say is that it was unstable. We originally planned to create stable Soul Power Crystals to increase the output of Soul Tools, but we never expected to create an unstable one instead."

"That's what caused this situation."

Ning Qinghe simply looked at him without speaking.

"It won't be easy to stabilize this thing for now, but we can control the Soul Power Crystal and fire it the moment it is created. There is a certain delay before this thing explodes, so it can absolutely be used as a weapon."

"Based on this power test, it already has the attack strength of a Soul Saint. And we can further increase the Soul Power output. By estimate, it may reach the attack strength of a Spirit Douluo, or even a Titled Douluo..."

Ning Feng looked a little crazed as he spoke about it.

What he said was indeed tempting—an attack with the power of a Titled Douluo.

Even Chen Xin looked at him.

But he did not say much.

"Just say it. What do you need?"

"I need to see a finished product as soon as possible."

Ning Qinghe understood as well.

This fellow had sent someone to call him over purely to ask for supplies.

"Hehehe~"

"Dean, we have enough Soul Stones and Soul Power Crystals."

"The main thing is that we need some Soul Masters to assist us. Otherwise, this thing is too dangerous for us."

"Of course, the stronger they are, the better."

Ning Feng stretched out his hand as he spoke awkwardly.

Despite being so old, he still looked bashful.

As he spoke, he also glanced at Chen Xin beside Ning Qinghe.

His intentions could not have been more obvious.

"Grandpa Sword."

Ning Qinghe looked toward Chen Xin beside him.

"No problem. I'm also interested in seeing a Soul Tool with the power of a Titled Douluo."

"If I'm not enough, I can call Old Bone over."

Chen Xin was genuinely interested.

If they could truly create this thing, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's foundation would grow even stronger.

"Thank you for your efforts, Your Majesty Sword Douluo."

Having received his answer, Ning Feng spoke respectfully.

"Let's begin."

And the test soon began.

The group moved to a sealed room. Although this room could not completely withstand an attack from a Titled Douluo, it was enough to block much of the disturbance. With Chen Xin present, they were not worried about danger.

Under Ning Feng's direction, the Soul Tool Research Department quickly assembled a small cannon emplacement.

After nine years of work, this Soul Cannon had been made quite convincingly.

Only upon seeing it did Ning Qinghe feel that the money spent over the years had not been wasted.

"Next, we will quickly produce the crystal. Sword Douluo will need to control the Soul Cannon..."

During an earlier weapon test, one of their researchers had nearly been blown to death.

Quite a few people still had lingering fears.

That was also why Ning Feng had called for support.

Otherwise, no matter what, they would have waited until they had completed the results before calling anyone over.

"Don't worry."

Chen Xin stood beside the Soul Cannon.

After examining the completed device curiously, he wondered whether its attack would be stronger or weaker than his own.

"Everyone, get ready."

"Charge energy."

"Sword Douluo, please control the Soul Cannon. Be careful."

As the researchers led by Ning Feng produced the Soul Power Core, its instability became extremely obvious.

Especially as it took shape, the Soul Cannon began moving out of control, forcing Chen Xin to swiftly restrain it.

If this Soul Cannon started firing everywhere, no one knew how many people would die.

Terrifying energy gathered at the center of the Soul Cannon. The Soul Power fluctuations grew increasingly violent, carrying the risk of self-destruction.

But in the end, it fired. A purplish-red energy blast burst from the cannon's muzzle, crossing the empty room in an instant and striking the Soul Power Tester a hundred meters away.

In just an instant, the Soul Power Tester, which could withstand attacks from a Spirit Douluo, shattered completely. Even the wall behind it was utterly destroyed. The terrifying Soul Cannon was like the arrival of death itself, decaying everything. Not a blade of grass remained in its path; all was reduced to dust.

Boom—

The purplish-red light ultimately struck a small hill where the Extreme Research Institute raised Soul Beasts, blasting out an enormous crater.

The resulting shockwave caused tremors that were felt throughout the Extreme Research Institute and even by people outside in Seven Treasure City.

Anyone unaware of the truth might have thought a Titled Douluo had charged into the city to slaughter people.

"This..."

"It worked."

"It's just still a little unstable."

"Instability has its uses."

"It just costs lives."

Before Ning Qinghe could say anything upon seeing this scene, the mad researchers beside him had already begun speaking.

It was as though they had witnessed unprecedented art.

Ning Qinghe did not know what to say.

Was explosion art, then?

It seemed he had turned a group of people into lunatics.

"This thing can be mass-produced, right?"

After testing the Soul Cannon, Chen Xin's gaze was sharp, and he showed great interest in it.

"It can be made, but the cost is a little high. And for now, this thing is single-use."

Ning Feng spoke somewhat awkwardly.

Everyone present could clearly see the situation.

At present, this could only be called an incomplete Soul Cannon.

A normal cannon should use kinetic force to fire shells, and it should be able to fire multiple shots in succession.

But this one—whether the cannon emplacement, the kinetic force, or even the operator—was single-use.

The emplacement would fire out the kinetic force, and even the operator would be blown up along with it.

It was entirely a one-time product...

"..."

Even so, Ning Qinghe was somewhat satisfied.

Ever since arriving in this world, he had cultivated almost day and night. On one hand, it was because of his talent; on the other, because he had learned about the future early on. He did not want the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to be destroyed, nor did he want to die himself.

Therefore, all these preparations were necessary.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect appeared powerful, but there were plenty of powerful people on this continent.
