Seeing Grey Wolf looking so disinterested, Qian Duoduo slapped his own forehead, silently berating himself for being muddled.

He had actually been discussing things beyond the comprehension of a Martial Soul that had never seen the world.

Grey Wolf was the Martial Soul awakened by Feng Tianyu and had only just learned the concept of a Soul Tool from books. It had never seen a fixed-position Soul Tool with its own eyes, so how could it possibly know the terror of one?

Qian Duoduo stopped introducing fixed-position Soul Tools and instead stood up, picking up a metal tube about 1.5 meters long and as thick as an adult's arm from the wooden rack:

"Look, this is a Level 5 Soul Guidance Cannon. Only a Level 5 Soul Guidance Master at the Soul King level can use it. It requires a massive consumption of soul power, but the energy projectile it releases has power comparable to a ten-thousand-year soul skill."

As he spoke, Qian Duoduo's palms flew, leaving many afterimages in the air. In the blink of an eye, he had dismantled the metal tube into a scattered mess:

"The structure of this Soul Guidance Cannon is like this: the outer shell is the barrel, made of tough and wear-resistant Tungsten Steel Alloy. It can withstand the high temperature and pressure generated by firing energy projectiles without twisting, deforming, or causing the trajectory to deviate."

"The inner shell is the main body of the cannon, made of Red Essence Copper, which has extremely low soul power transmission loss. Furthermore, this spiral structure helps compress the energy projectile."

"The Soul Guidance Array is the true core of the cannon. It uses the rare metal Earth Origin Crystal, with a total of 70 core arrays engraved upon it, which can compress the input soul power into an energy projectile."

"Come, feel it for yourself—its texture, its weight..."

Grey Wolf wagged its tail and took the pile of components from Qian Duoduo's hands. The cold texture and the heavy weight—its wolf claws rubbed back and forth over each component, engraving every detail into its mind.

Then, it gave a cheeky grin. To Qian Duoduo's astonishment, it quickly reassembled the Level 5 Soul Guidance Cannon. The whole thing fit together perfectly, without a single error.

Qian Duoduo's eyes widened, deeply amazed by Grey Wolf's learning ability; it had managed to reassemble the device after watching him dismantle it just once.

He was thrilled!

He took more Soul Tools from the wooden rack, dismantling them one by one in front of Grey Wolf, pointing out their construction, the materials of each component, their uses, dimensions... and most importantly, the core arrays.

With a master-level Grade 8.5 Soul Guidance Master like Qian Duoduo personally demonstrating by dismantling a large number of Soul Tools, Grey Wolf's understanding of Soul Tools grew rapidly.

When Feng Tianyu finished his shower, changed into clean clothes, and returned to the studio, he saw Qian Duoduo speaking eloquently, explaining the principles of various Soul Tools to Grey Wolf.

Grey Wolf listened with eyes glowing, comparing the way Soul Tools utilized soul power with the scientific knowledge in its own mind. Inspiration bubbled up like a fountain.

Its two wolf claws clenched and relaxed, clenched and relaxed again, looking eager and impatient to try.

Seeing this, Qian Duoduo waved a large hand:

"That's enough for today. Time has flown by to the afternoon; you haven't had lunch yet, have you?"

"Before you go back, I'll take you to taste the nutritional meals of our Soul Guidance Department. Since you've come to the Soul Guidance Department, you're one of our own, and we definitely won't treat you poorly."

"Use the rest of the day to go back and cultivate your soul power. Whether you are a Soul Master or a Soul Guidance Master, you won't get far without deep soul power."

"Come back tomorrow. Tianyu, you continue practicing blacksmithing tomorrow; strike a qualified piece of Soul Guidance metal as soon as possible. Grey Wolf, you practice engraving Soul Guidance Arrays on scrap material first. Once you've accumulated enough experience, you can engrave them on the Soul Guidance metal."

"Hehe, other Soul Guidance Masters have to practice both blacksmithing and engraving arrays; one day is simply not enough time."

"You two have it good. One person and one wolf can divide the work and cooperate. Compared to other Soul Guidance Masters, you have a natural advantage."

Qian Duoduo couldn't help but sigh in admiration as he finished speaking.

Afterward, Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf had a meal of the Soul Guidance Department's nutritional food on Qian Duoduo's tab. Carrying the failed rough-cast Soul Guidance metal, they returned to their dormitory to prepare for soul power cultivation.

Just as Qian Duoduo said, whether one is a Soul Master or a Soul Guidance Master, one cannot succeed without deep soul power.

Feng Tianyu wanted to increase his soul power quickly, and he happened to have two Soul Raising Pills on hand.

In Dormitory 316!

When Feng Tianyu returned, he saw that Beibei had already arrived back.

Seeing Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf, Beibei took the initiative to greet them, his tone filled with worry:

"Tianyu, you haven't been back all day. Could it be that you really intend to transfer to the Soul Guidance Department?"

"Grade 1 Class 1 has a new head teacher, a teacher named Wang Yan. He has a gentle temperament and extremely rich theoretical experience. He teaches students according to their aptitude, doesn't easily resort to corporal punishment, and won't expel students casually."

"With your talent, you should stay in the Martial Soul Department. I believe that with Teacher Wang Yan's theoretical foundation, he can guide your mutated external Martial Soul onto the most suitable path."

Facing Beibei's advice, Feng Tianyu smiled calmly. He took the jade bottle containing the pills from his storage Soul Tool, opened the stopper, poured out one Soul Raising Pill, and then capped the bottle, tossing both the bottle and the pill to Beibei.

"Beibei, I am already an intern of the Soul Guidance Department. The academy has given me three years, but I don't think it will take long for me to prove myself."

"Grey Wolf, time to cultivate!"

As his words fell, Feng Tianyu took off his shoes, jumped onto his bed, swallowed the Soul Raising Pill, and began to circulate his meditation technique to absorb the medicinal power.

Grey Wolf followed suit, cultivating alongside Feng Tianyu.

It was one with Feng Tianyu; when Feng Tianyu swallowed the Soul Raising Pill, it also felt a surge of energy sweeping through its body.

Cyan light enveloped both Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf. Soul power circulated back and forth between the person and the wolf, rapidly digesting the medicinal power of the Soul Raising Pill, causing their soul power to climb steadily.

Beibei casually put away the jade bottle containing the Soul Raising Pill, feeling moved internally:

"Tianyu, I'm starting to find you hard to read. To think you could make the academy's top brass make concessions for you—Dean Yan is not an easy person to talk to, unless my Great-Grandfather spoke up."

"I originally wanted to look after you more in your studies, but you ran off to the Soul Guidance Department. Well... I suppose there will be plenty of time in the future."

At this moment, Feng Tianyu was immersed in the joy of rapidly increasing soul power. His soul power was like it had been injected with adrenaline, and the speed of his improvement was quite exaggerated.

The medicinal power of one Soul Raising Pill was roughly equivalent to a Soul Master's soul power from level 30 to 31, about the same as a thousand-year soul ring.

Feng Tianyu was only a small level 13.5 Soul Master. The massive medicinal power of the Soul Raising Pill allowed him to quickly cross that half-level bottleneck, breaking through to level 14, and it was still climbing steadily.

This absorption of the Soul Raising Pill lasted until nightfall, and Feng Tianyu ultimately broke through to level 15 soul power.

Six years old, level 15 spirit power!

Even looking across the entire continent, there are very few people who could do better than Feng Tianyu.

Furthermore, there is still some residual medicinal power from the Soul Raising Pill lingering within his body, which will allow his cultivation speed to increase significantly for some time to come.

He and Grey Wolf were already cultivating together, which naturally provided double the cultivation speed, and with the residual power of the Soul Raising Pill added on top, tsk tsk... Feng Tianyu could already imagine that his rate of spirit power improvement in the near future would be incredibly gratifying.

Thinking of this, Feng Tianyu pulled Grey Wolf along and continued cultivating until midnight, only falling asleep in the small hours of the morning to recover the energy spent throughout the day.
