Level Twenty Soul Power

Qian Duoduo's eyes seemed to flow with magma, burning with an intensity that threatened to melt Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf.

"Tianyu, Grey Wolf, how on earth did you two manage this?"

"This tracking design is truly revolutionary; it could even allow our Soul Guidance Department to completely suppress the Martial Soul Department."

"Fixed Soul Guidance Shells possess immense power, but their greatest flaw is the difficulty in aiming. After all, a Soul Master won't just stand there and let a shell blast them."

"But now, these shells have eyes. No matter where the target runs, the shell will follow."

Qian Duoduo's eyes were filled with a yearning light as he longed to understand the principles behind the design, but after a moment, the glow dimmed.

"Forget it, I won't ask."

"We Soul Masters live by our craft. This tracking design is your life's work; it cannot be easily passed on to others, even to me."

This tracking design was indeed precious, enough to compensate for the greatest weakness of Fixed Soul Guidance Shells. If word got out, even if the Sun Moon Empire had to scrape together every last coin, they would buy this priceless treasure.

However, Feng Tianyu was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and grudges. He repaid kindness with kindness, and since Qian Duoduo had helped them so much, he kept that debt of gratitude close to his heart.

Feng Tianyu glanced at Grey Wolf, then retrieved a stack of design blueprints from his storage Soul Tool.

"Dean Qian, thank you for your careful guidance during this time. Consider this set of tracking design blueprints as a token of gratitude from Grey Wolf and me."

"However, the principles behind this design don't quite align with standard Soul Guidance technology, making it exceptionally difficult to learn. If you can't grasp the underlying theory, just follow the operations outlined in the blueprints."

"By the way, Dean Qian, this design is for your eyes only. Please don't pass it on to anyone else."

Qian Duoduo was visibly moved, his mouth agape as he struggled to find the right words. With trembling hands, he hesitated several times before finally accepting the stack of blueprints.

These papers were too precious. Ten million Gold Soul Coins wouldn't even begin to cover it; even a hundred million wouldn't be enough. It was a true, priceless treasure.

As Qian Duoduo looked at Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf, his gratitude was written all over his face. Just because he had provided some guidance on Soul Tool technology, they had gifted him such a rare design.

He took a deep breath, exhaled, and finally said:

"Tianyu, Grey Wolf, I understand. I will study this alone. Without your permission, I will not let anyone else see these blueprints."

"Also, this is too valuable; it burns my hands to hold it. Do you have any requests? If there is anything I can do for you, I will certainly do it."

Seeing the determination in Qian Duoduo's eyes, Feng Tianyu thought for a moment and made a request:

"Dean Qian, I would like a private studio. Also, please provide me with a sufficient supply of rare ores. Of course, I won't take these for free."

"Grey Wolf and I will submit a batch of Homing Fixed Soul Guidance Shells every month. Ordinary shells are already valuable, but these Homing Fixed Soul Guidance Shells are worth ten times more. The academy certainly won't lose out."

For Qian Duoduo, this was hardly a request at all.

Feeling that Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf were actually getting the short end of the stick, he patted his chest and declared:

"My Studio No. 2 will be yours from now on. It is undoubtedly one of the best studios in the academy."

"Furthermore, I will approve 1 million Gold Soul Coins worth of rare ores for you every month. You only need to submit ten Homing Fixed Soul Guidance Shells in return. You are free to use any surplus ores as you wish."

Feng Tianyu's eyes lit up. Qian Duoduo was truly generous to hand over his own studio. With an independent workspace and a monthly supply of rare ores worth 1 million Gold Soul Coins, he was set.

He looked at Grey Wolf. From this day forward, the greatest scientist and inventor of the Wolf Clan, King Grey Wolf, would finally be able to show his true potential.

That very day, Qian Duoduo cleared out Studio No. 2 and approved the 1 million Gold Soul Coins worth of rare ores for Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf.

Because such a massive amount of resources had been granted to a student who had only joined the Soul Guidance Department three months ago, it sparked a wave of protests. Fan Yu was the loudest, practically accusing Qian Duoduo of abusing his power for personal gain.

The public outcry was so great that the head of the Soul Guidance Department, Xian Lin'er, personally came to question Qian Duoduo about the situation.

Qian Duoduo didn't explain; he simply dragged Xian Lin'er to Experimental Zone No. 4 and, right in front of her, test-fired a Level 4 Homing Fixed Soul Guidance Shell.

Watching the shell curve in mid-air after launch, Xian Lin'er was left dumbfounded, her mouth hanging open wide enough to fit an egg.

Then, Qian Duoduo explained that this was the technology developed by Feng Tianyu's Martial Soul, Grey Wolf!

Xian Lin'er understood everything instantly and had no further objections to Qian Duoduo's decision.

With the head and deputy head of the Soul Guidance Department in agreement, the complaints of other teachers were rendered meaningless.

Fan Yu, who had been the most vocal, was suppressed by Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo. Fan Yu had immense talent and was being groomed as the next deputy head of the department.

But now that Fan Yu was at odds with Feng Tianyu, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo saw clearly who was more important.

They had no choice but to sacrifice Fan Yu, demoting him to a regular teacher and significantly weakening his status and influence within the department.

Upon receiving the notice, Fan Yu trembled with rage and let out a sorrowful cry to the heavens:

"The sky of the Soul Guidance Department has finally gone dark!"

At this moment, Feng Tianyu had no time to watch Fan Yu's downfall. He was constantly busy, day after day, repeating the process of hammering and forging raw Soul Guidance Metal to supply Grey Wolf with materials for his inventions.

Four months passed in the blink of an eye!

Through this high-intensity training, Feng Tianyu's body became even more robust. His muscles were well-defined and fluid, like those of a leopard, brimming with explosive power.

According to Qian Duoduo's assessment, Feng Tianyu's physical tolerance had increased by another 500 years, rising from the 2,000-year limit he had after consuming 10 pieces of Whale Rubber to 2,500 years.

Qian Duoduo was astonished. To be able to temper one's physique to withstand a 2,500-year Soul Ring before even absorbing a second one—this was nothing short of a monster!

Feng Tianyu was also very satisfied!

After four months of cultivation, his soul power had risen from Level 17 to Level 20. As soon as he absorbed a second Soul Ring, he would become a two-ring Soul Grand Master.

As a transfer student, Feng Tianyu had joined Shrek Academy several months into the semester, missing the Freshman Tournament entirely.

Including the seven months he had already spent at Shrek Academy, the time had arrived for the academy's break.

The break lasted for one month!

Feng Tianyu planned to take advantage of this time to resolve the issue of his second soul ring.

Originally, he had intended to ask Mu En for help, as Mu En had assisted him in hunting the soul beast for his first soul ring.

However, Qian Duoduo had volunteered, feeling that since Feng Tianyu belonged to their Soul Guidance Department, the matter of his second soul ring should rightfully be handled by them.

Seeing how proactive Qian Duoduo was, Feng Tianyu decided not to trouble Mu En and instead set off for the Star Dou Great Forest under Qian Duoduo's guidance to hunt a soul beast.
