You Call This Pepper Powder? You've Sprayed a Soul Master into a Steamed Bun!

The ground shook more and more violently, causing the horizontal bars by the playground to hum and rattle.

The pile of debris originally used to block the view suddenly bulged outward, followed immediately by the teeth-gritting sound of metal being torn apart.

With a thunderous "boom,"

shards of wood and rotten stone flew everywhere, and a pitch-black steel monster charged out from the dust.

This thing was about three meters tall, equipped with two tracks at the bottom; it clanked as it walked, leaving deep indentations in the ground with every step.

Its body was a massive, rusted iron barrel, welded all over with various chaotic gears and pipes, with thick black smoke billowing from the gaps.

Most eye-catching was the giant, idling chainsaw mounted on its left hand, while its right hand held a pitch-black, thick pipe that clearly spelled trouble.

In the open-top cockpit atop its head, Grey Wolf was wearing that tattered top hat, gripping two control levers tightly while laughing maniacally.

"Wahahaha! Behold, you bumpkins, the 'Super Invincible Junk King No. 1' of yours truly!"

Director Su had never seen such a spectacle; he jumped back in fright, his voice cracking.

"What... what kind of monster is this? A mutated spirit beast? Or a giant Soul Tool?"

The two enforcement teachers behind him were equally dumbfounded, forgetting to even manifest their spirits as they stared blankly at the oppressive iron hunk.

This iron hunk had no spirit power fluctuations, but just looking at the force with which those gears meshed made one's bones ache.

Qin Feng brushed the dust off his body, walked to the tracks of the steel monster, and patted the rusted iron plating, producing a dull thud.

"Director Su, what were you saying just now?"

Qin Feng picked at his ear, looking at Director Su with an earnest expression.

"You said you wanted to confiscate my lethal weapon? Is it this one?"

Director Su swallowed hard, greed and fear warring on his face.

Although this thing looked ugly, how much refined iron must have gone into it? With this bulk, selling it to a blacksmith shop could fetch quite a few Gold Soul Coins!

Besides, this thing looked quite powerful; if he could get his hands on it...

"Qin Feng! You have privately manufactured such a dangerous item, which is a serious violation of school rules!"

Director Su roared with a fierce expression but a cowardly heart, his finger trembling as he pointed at Grey Wolf.

"And this wolf-type spirit beast! It is also a source of danger! It must be executed immediately!"

"Why aren't you moving! Tear it apart for me!"

He gave a strict order to the two enforcement teachers behind him.

The two teachers exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and lit up three spirit rings—two white and one yellow.

Soul Elders!

One of them had an iron rod as his spirit, and the other had a Blazing Fire Monkey; both were formidable assault-type experts.

"Kid, don't blame the teacher for being ruthless, but this thing is too dangerous to be left standing!"

The iron rod teacher shouted, his spirit weapon whistling through the air as he swung it directly at the tracks.

As long as the tracks were broken, this iron hunk would be a sitting duck.

Qin Feng didn't even lift an eyelid; he simply waved at Grey Wolf above.

"Brother Wolf, someone wants to dismantle your new toy, the one you stayed up all night piecing together from scrap."

When Grey Wolf heard this, his bean-shaped eyes widened instantly, and the fur all over his body stood on end.

"Dismantle my invention? You dare! Even my wife wouldn't dream of taking this apart!"

He yanked the right control lever hard.

With a "click," the upper body of the "Super Invincible Junk King No. 1" performed a full three-hundred-and-sixty-degree rotation, as agile as a spinning top.

The cannon barrel on the right hand, which had been aimed at Director Su, instantly swung to face the iron rod teacher.

"Taste the 'Powerful Pepper Cannon' of yours truly!"

"Pfft—"

A cloud of yellowish-brown smoke erupted from the cannon, coating the teacher's face directly.

There was no explosion, no flash of fire.

Only the iron rod teacher suddenly dropped his spirit weapon, clutching his face and letting out a blood-curdling scream.

"Ah! My eyes! My nose! It burns! Achoo! Achoo!"

With snot and tears streaming down his face, he knelt on the ground, sneezing uncontrollably as his entire face swelled up like a steamed bun at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The other teacher with the Blazing Fire Monkey spirit was stunned, the flames in his hands nearly extinguished by fright.

What kind of attack was this? Poison? This was too despicable!

Before he could react, Grey Wolf pushed the left control lever.

The giant chainsaw didn't cut forward; instead, a massive spring-loaded fist wearing a red boxing glove suddenly ejected from behind the saw.

It was so fast it was nearly invisible, even creating a sonic boom.

"Bang!"

A dull thud echoed.

That fist landed solidly on the stomach of the Blazing Fire Monkey teacher, folding his entire body into the shape of a bow. The force of the blow was absurdly powerful, lifting the teacher clean off his feet and sending him flying backward seven or eight meters. He finally ended up "hanging" on the pull-up bar at the edge of the playground, swaying back and forth like a dried salted fish, his eyes rolling back as he passed out.

Two seconds.

Two Soul Elders, completely wiped out.

The entire scene fell into dead silence.

Only the teacher who had been sneezed on was still on the ground, going "achoo, achoo" incessantly; just listening to it made one's lungs ache.

Director Su's legs began to tremble. As he watched that hunk of metal re-aim its cannon barrel at him, he felt his crotch getting a little damp.

What kind of monster is this?!

It didn't even use a Soul Skill, yet it insta-killed two Soul Elders?

"Director Su, do you still want to dismantle it?"

Qin Feng asked with a beaming smile, his hand still resting on the tread.

"This is a 'Fully Automatic Teaching Assistant Robot' I designed not long ago."

"The teacher from just now was experiencing the 'Biochemical Protection Drill' function. It seems his awareness of protection is lacking."

"The one hanging on the pull-up bar was experiencing the 'Flight Simulation' function. Look, what a graceful posture."

"Would you like to experience it too? I still have a 'Heavy-Duty Toilet Plunger' mode available."

Director Su waved his hands repeatedly, his face turning pale as cold sweat streamed down his forehead.

"N-no need! Qin Feng, y-you better not mess around! I am the Director of the Academic Affairs Office!"

"I know you are the Director."

Qin Feng put away his smile, his gaze so calm it was terrifying.

"I am a person who values reason above all else. You say I used contraband equipment to injure people, but where is the evidence?"

He pointed to the teacher still sneezing on the ground.

"That is pepper powder, a kitchen seasoning. Does that count as a lethal weapon? Is cooking in the cafeteria illegal now?"

He then pointed to the one hanging on the pull-up bar.

"Those are springs and cotton gloves, children's toys. Does this count as a lethal weapon? What kind of lethal weapon is made of cotton?"

Director Su found himself completely speechless.

Pepper powder and cotton gloves?

What the hell kind of pepper powder! What kind of pepper powder can spray a Soul Elder into losing his combat effectiveness?

What kind of cotton gloves can send a person flying eight meters away? Is this cotton made of iron?!

However, according to school regulations, these items indeed did not fall under the category of controlled blades or dangerous Soul Tools.

Qin Feng was exploiting loopholes, and he was doing it while driving a tank through them!
