Gongyang Mo and Xi Xi

Compared to engraving the core array, crafting the outer shell was much easier.

Soon, various parts were laid out on the table. Fan Yu's movements were swift; in the blink of an eye, he assembled them into a shape resembling a thick cannon. It was two meters long, and the pitch-black muzzle shimmered with a cold luster.

There was a testing area for Soul Tools within Fan Yu's laboratory, and he directly injected his soul power into the newly crafted device.

Intense white light began to shine at the muzzle as a massive amount of soul power was compressed, radiating terrifying fluctuations.

Bei Bei felt a horrific pressure bearing down on him, a testament to the power of this soul cannon.

Accompanied by a violent roar, the test area that was struck instantly turned charred black, and much of the metal had melted.

The shockwave from the explosion nearly blew Bei Bei away.

This was his first time witnessing the formidable power of a high-level Soul Tool; the strength of this single strike was at least comparable to that of a Soul Saint.

However, Fan Yu's brow did not unfurl; he seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the power of this Soul Tool.

Bright lights flashed in his eyes as he continuously pondered in his mind how to improve the device.

Bei Bei walked to the table and picked up a failed soul core. A single tiny line had been slightly misaligned, rendering the entire core useless.

Bei Bei finally couldn't hold back and said, "Teacher Fan Yu, since engraving the core array requires such extreme precision, why not use a Soul Tool to replace the Soul Master's manual engraving? Compared to human labor, the margin for error would be greatly reduced."

Fan Yu, who was deep in thought, suddenly froze at Bei Bei's words.

Bei Bei continued, "Using Soul Tools to manufacture Soul Tools—although high-level Soul Tools are difficult to produce due to their complexity, low-level Soul Tools should be capable of batch production."

"What a genius idea! Using Soul Tools to manufacture Soul Tools—how did you come up with that!" Fan Yu was astonished; he hadn't expected Bei Bei, who was only just coming into contact with Soul Tools, to offer such a unique perspective.

"I believe that Soul Tools should be a technology that serves humanity, a tool that assists us in doing all sorts of things. How could they be such inconvenient objects?" Bei Bei stated his view.

Fan Yu felt that Bei Bei possessed immense talent for Soul Tools, and he couldn't help but want to recruit him into the Soul Tool Department.

"Are you interested in studying Soul Tools? I can be your teacher!" Fan Yu invited him directly.

"I am very sorry, Teacher Fan Yu, but I wish to focus my energy more on the cultivation of my own martial soul." Bei Bei refused without hesitation. "I am indeed very interested in Soul Tools, but mostly because they can better help me improve my strength."

"I see..." Fan Yu was somewhat disappointed.

"Teacher Fan Yu, do you have any Soul Tools here that can increase the gravity in a specific area? Something that can simulate gravity enhancement, gravitational pressure, or a gravity swamp would suffice." Bei Bei inquired.

His martial soul was the Radiant Sacred Dragon, which belonged to the True Dragon lineage, possessing significant advantages in physical body and blood energy.

He did not want to waste this advantage. In a high-gravity environment, Bei Bei could train his body more effectively, even reaching deep into his internal organs; the effect would be far superior to running laps around the track while wearing iron vests.

"Such a Soul Tool does not exist yet, but it shouldn't be difficult to manufacture. Given what you said earlier, I can help you design this device." Fan Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Do you intend to use a gravity field to control enemies, or do you want to use strong gravity to attack them directly?"

"What I need is not for combat," Bei Bei explained. "What I seek is a room where gravity can be adjusted so that I can perform physical training within it."

"A gravity chamber! You really are a genius!" Fan Yu praised Bei Bei again, finally understanding his intent.

His wife, Zhou Lian, was a teacher in the Martial Soul Department who liked to make students run laps on the track while wearing iron vests to train their physical fitness.

But the gravity chamber proposed by Bei Bei successfully expanded the application of Soul Tools into the realm of a Soul Master's daily training. Compared to the traditional method of wearing iron vests, the efficiency and results would be countless times greater.

Fan Yu was thinking even further now; he felt that Soul Tools were not just weapons for Soul Masters—perhaps this was the most perfect way to combine Soul Tools and Soul Masters.

If the Soul Tool Department could successfully construct such facilities and continuously refine them until they reached a level of precision operation.

By then, the academy's top brass would inevitably send a large number of Martial Soul Department students to train here, perhaps even establishing a new curriculum.

It could ease the hostile relationship between the Soul Tool Department and the Martial Soul Department, allowing more academy teachers and students to see the potential of Soul Tools in various fields and improve their perception of them.

Fan Yu couldn't wait to take out paper and began to sketch the prototype of the gravity chamber.

Bei Bei also offered his own suggestions from the side, such as adding life-monitoring devices inside the gravity chamber to prevent serious injury from overtraining.

The two chatted until they lost track of time. Bei Bei noticed that many students from the Soul Tool Department outside the lab had already finished their classes, and he realized he had forgotten to go find Ma Xiaotao.

After bidding farewell to Fan Yu, Bei Bei quickly left the Soul Tool Department.

After Bei Bei departed, Fan Yu gathered several teachers from the Soul Tool Department to begin discussing the design and construction plan for the gravity chamber.

When Bei Bei arrived at the entrance of the Soul Tool Department, he saw Ma Xiaotao standing there with her arms crossed, with a man and a woman standing behind her.

"Xiaotao! I'm here." Bei Bei waved his hand and ran over quickly.

As soon as he got close, Ma Xiaotao grabbed Bei Bei's ear with a look of displeasure and said angrily, "I've told you how many times to call me Sister Xiaotao, and do you know how long I've been waiting for you!"

"I went to the Soul Tool Department earlier and got held up for a while." Bei Bei grinned, secretly thinking that Ma Xiaotao was becoming more and more violent, and quickly changed the subject. "Who are these two?"

"The freshman assessment is coming up soon; these two are my teammates." Ma Xiaotao pointed at the pair.

"My name is Bei Bei." Bei Bei introduced himself.

The boy beside Ma Xiaotao had long hair and looked a bit effeminate, even his voice was soft and delicate. "Little brother is so cute, my name is Gongyang Mo."

Beside Gongyang Mo was a somewhat plain-looking girl with short hair who introduced herself rather reservedly: "Xi Xi."

Bei Bei's eyes flashed; he thought to himself that they were all familiar faces! Their talents were all quite good, it was just a pity that they would be screwed over by Xuan Zi so badly in the future.

"Don't look at him because he's young; his strength is actually very high. His Soul Power Level is higher than many freshmen." Ma Xiaotao draped her arm over Bei Bei's shoulder and laughed.

Although Ma Xiaotao was only twelve, her Soul Power Level had already reached rank thirty-five.
