Six-Rank Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon Shell

Early the next morning, after Feng Tianyu had dressed, washed, and eaten breakfast, he headed to the Great Soul Arena of Shrek Academy, accompanied by a worried-looking Beibei.

This was the place where senior students held soul duels. Shrek Academy stipulated that to graduate, one had to obtain at least a Silver Soul Badge.

Therefore, those senior students eager to graduate often spent every ten or fifteen days immersed in duels at the Great Soul Arena.

It was usually lively here, but this was likely the first time it had been this crowded.

Students from all six grades of the Outer Court, even the newly enrolled freshmen, had all rushed to the Great Soul Arena to join in the excitement, leaving not a single seat empty.

Amidst the clamor of discussion, Ma Xiaotao and Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf each stepped onto the arena stage!

Ma Xiaotao activated her Martial Soul Possession, and crimson flames ignited upon her body. The flames scorched the air, releasing a wave of heat that rippled outward in all directions, while the phantom of a sinister Flame Phoenix coalesced behind her.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple—a total of four soul rings rose from beneath her feet.

A trace of grim, evil energy swirled between her brows:

"Feng Tianyu, since you've already stepped onto this stage, it's too late to back out now!"

Feng Tianyu's expression remained indifferent as one yellow and one purple soul ring rose from beneath his feet:

"Can the match begin now?"

A referee from the Great Soul Arena, dressed in black, cast a look of pity at Feng Tianyu.

Although Feng Tianyu was exceptionally gifted, possessing a yellow and a purple soul ring that defied common sense, it could not change the fact that he was merely a Soul Grand Master.

The gap between a Soul Grand Master and a Soul Ancestor was absolutely heaven and earth!

However, since the boy had challenged her himself, he, as a referee, would certainly not forcibly intervene:

"Soul duels are to be conducted with restraint; do not intentionally take lives. Once one side falls and loses the ability to resist, or is knocked off the stage, the winner is decided, and the victor must not continue their attack."

"Now, let the duel begin!"

Upon hearing "let the duel begin," Feng Tianyu wiped his Storage Soul Tool and withdrew a metal tube about 1.5 meters long and as thick as an adult's arm.

He then pulled out a Level 6 Homing Fixed Soul Guidance Shell. A terrifying, ferocious aura radiated from the shell, sending a chill down everyone's spine.

Ma Xiaotao sensed that fierce aura and, like a cat with its fur standing on end, the crimson flames on her body flickered erratically. Her eyes were fixed unblinkingly on the shell:

"What is that thing?"

At the same time, a roar echoed from the sky:

"Match suspended!"

Everyone was very familiar with this voice; it was Yan Shaozhe, the Dean of the Martial Soul Department at Shrek Academy.

Yan Shaozhe leaped through the air and arrived above the arena. He only needed one glance at the shell in Feng Tianyu's hand for his expression to turn incredibly ugly. He shouted at a certain spot in the Great Soul Arena, cursing as he spoke:

"Qian Duoduo, you bastard! To think you would hand something so dangerous to Feng Tianyu, a mere Soul Grand Master! That is a Level 6 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell; even a Soul Saint would be blown to bits if caught off guard!"

"And you, Feng Tianyu! It's just an academy duel, yet you bring out a Level 6 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell—are you trying to kill Ma Xiaotao?!"

The entire arena erupted in an uproar at these words!

Students from every grade looked at the shell in Feng Tianyu's hand; so that was the dangerous item.

It could even kill a Soul Saint!

Feng Tianyu was just a lowly Soul Grand Master, yet he held something capable of killing a Soul Saint!

Everyone looked at Feng Tianyu with awe, including the senior students.

Who could have imagined that Feng Tianyu possessed such a lethal weapon?

At this moment, the "bastard" Yan Shaozhe had cursed, Qian Duoduo, flew up and stood in mid-air, confronting Yan Shaozhe on the spot:

"Yan Shaozhe, don't you go spouting nonsense! The Level 6 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell in Feng Tianyu's hand was made by them themselves. Aside from teaching them how to craft Soul Tools, I haven't given them a single one."

"Every Soul Tool they possess was crafted by their own hands."

"Heh heh, Yan Shaozhe, let me tell you the truth: it is a waste of talent for Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf to be in your Martial Soul Department. They have only been in my Soul Guidance Department for one semester, and they can already craft Level 6 Soul Tools."

"The Level 6 Soul Guidance Shells they produce are things even Soul Saints cannot block. To fully unleash their potential, I even turned my own workshop over to them and provide them with 1 million Gold Soul Coins worth of rare metal ores every month."

"That is what you call dedicated cultivation. Do you really think Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf would have achieved such greatness if they had stayed in the Martial Soul Department?!"

Yan Shaozhe's expression was full of disbelief. He had always felt that Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf leaving the Martial Soul Department for the Soul Guidance Department was a waste of time and talent.

But now, hearing Qian Duoduo mention it, the achievements Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf had made in Soul Tools seemed far more brilliant than their cultivation of Martial Souls.

He frowned and asked in return:

"Is what you say true? Feng Tianyu's Level 6 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell wasn't given by you, but crafted by them themselves!"

Qian Duoduo crossed his thick arms over his chest:

"Of course. If their cultivation level weren't still a bit low, they would be genuine Level 6 Soul Engineers."

Upon hearing the words exchanged between the two academy deans during their confrontation, the Martial Soul Department students in the audience sat with their mouths agape, looking at Feng Tianyu in utter shock.

Was the Soul Guidance Department really that incredible?!

They had always believed that the Martial Soul Department was the orthodox path of Shrek Academy, and they took pride and glory in that.

As a mere Soul Grand Master, Feng Tianyu had spent only one semester in the Soul Guidance Department before producing a Level 6 Soul Guidance Shell capable of killing a Soul Saint.

It seemed the Soul Guidance Department had immense potential!

Even if these students from the Martial Soul Department were all gifted with extraordinary talent, it would still take them decades to reach the realm of a Soul Saint.

Yet now, a Soul Grand Master could kill a Soul Saint by crafting a Level 6 Soul Guidance Shell!

This caused some of the Martial Soul Department students to waver, sparking an unprecedented curiosity toward the Soul Guidance Department.

Ma Xiaotao's eyes turned blood-red, and she shrieked in unconvinced defiance:

"Teacher, stay out of this!"

"Just let Feng Tianyu use that so-called Level 6 Fixed Soul Tool shell; I don't believe he can kill me!"

"We of the Martial Soul Department are the ten-thousand-year orthodoxy of Shrek Academy. Only soul masters can decide everything. I refuse to believe that a third-rate soul tool can allow a Soul Grand Master like Feng Tianyu to defeat a Soul Ancestor like me!"

Extremely repulsed by soul tools, Ma Xiaotao decided to meet Feng Tianyu's Level 6 Fixed Soul Tool shell head-on!

Ma Xiaotao might have been acting crazed and muddled, but Yan Shaozhe was certainly not; he could not allow his precious disciple to endure the power of a Level 6 Fixed Soul Tool shell.

"Xiaotao, this is no time for your tantrums!"

Yan Shaozhe gritted his teeth. It was already less than honorable to have Ma Xiaotao, a Soul Ancestor, challenge Feng Tianyu, a Soul Grand Master, to a cross-rank battle.

Now that Feng Tianyu had produced a weapon capable of defeating Ma Xiaotao, Yan Shaozhe could not allow him to actually use it.

"Tianyu, the power of a Fixed Soul Tool is too overbearing; it is not suitable for use in a soul combat match. You may use other Soul Guidance Guns or soul cannons, and I will place no restrictions on them, but you cannot use the Fixed Soul Tool."

Yan Shaozhe spoke while steeling himself. He could feel the intense gaze of contempt coming from Qian Duoduo; he had said nothing when his own disciple bullied someone weaker.

Yet the moment the other party pulled out a Fixed Soul Tool that could turn the tide, he immediately jumped in to object.

How could there be such a shameless person in this world!

Feng Tianyu laughed—first a light chuckle, then a loud roar, his laughter filled with ambiguous meaning.

To ensure his defeat, Yan Shaozhe was truly stopping at nothing.

"If I can't use it, then I won't!"

With that, Feng Tianyu stowed the launcher and the soul shell into his Storage Soul Tool.

Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe breathed a sigh of relief. Without the Fixed Soul Tool, even if Feng Tianyu could bring out a Level 6 Soul Guidance Gun or soul cannon, his cultivation as a Soul Grand Master would not be enough to unleash the power of such devices.

With Feng Tianyu's current cultivation as a Soul Grand Master, he could at most use a Level 2 Soul Tool. In this way, the ultimate victor would still be his disciple.
