Not Entering Shrek, One Doesn't Know Such Marvels Exist in the World

Everyone looked at the Soul Guidance Cannons, their eyes shining.

They had all seen Ning Rongrong's shot just now. A Level 26 auxiliary-type soul master had unleashed destructive power close to that of a three-ring Soul Elder.

If this had happened in the past, who would have believed it? An auxiliary-type soul master was an auxiliary-type soul master; their combat power was practically zero. That was common knowledge.

But today, that common knowledge had been blown to pieces by a single cannon shot.

Everyone quickly followed Wu Zhangkong's instructions, each picking up a Level 2 Soul Guidance Cannon.

Zhu Zhuqing bent down and picked up a Soul Guidance Cannon, holding it in her hand. The cold touch of metal traveled through her palm, and her fingers lightly traced over the complex engravings, sensing the faint energy fluctuations flowing within.

Then she raised her hand and aimed the Soul Guidance Cannon at a distant target.

She injected soul power and pressed the button.

Bang!

A blue beam shot from the muzzle and struck the upper-left area of the target.

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her hand and looked at the distant target. A glint flashed through her black eyes.

The soul power consumed by using the Soul Guidance Cannon was far less than what she used when casting soul skills after activating Nether Civet possession. Its only shortcoming was probably that its attack method was rather simple.

Of course, that shortcoming did not really count as a shortcoming. After all, its power was right there for all to see.

If used well, this Soul Guidance Cannon could definitely bring about a revolutionary change. She knew she had come to the right place. This technology was something she had never even heard of in the Star Luo Empire. It was probably the only one of its kind in the entire Douluo Continent.

Wu Zhangkong stood in the center of the field, his gaze sweeping over everyone as he took in their operations and reactions.

He did not interrupt them. Only after everyone had fired a shot did he speak.

"Today's task is very simple."

"Stand where you are now and use the Soul Guidance Cannon in your hands to hit that target. There is no limit to the number of attempts or the time. Each person will take ten shots as one round. If you hit more than six out of ten, today's task will be considered complete."

He paused, then added another sentence.

"This Level 2 Soul Guidance Cannon is not a weapon every one of you must use, but every one of you must master how to use it."

Everyone hurriedly nodded.

Even if Wu Zhangkong had not said it, they understood. Who had ever seen something that could unleash power close to that of a three-ring Soul Elder with one shot?

If one day in the future an enemy force equipped this kind of weapon, while they had never even seen it before, they would truly suffer a huge loss. If they mistook it for some storage-type soul guidance device when it was taken out, that would be even more of a joke.

"Once you complete ten shots with a seventy percent hit rate, the academy will officially give you this Level 2 Soul Guidance Cannon."

As soon as his words fell, the field went silent for an instant.

Then it exploded into an uproar.

"It's a gift?!"

"They're giving this thing to us outright?"

"No, how much must this thing be worth..."

Luo Ziyan's eyes widened, and her hand unconsciously tightened around the Soul Guidance Cannon. The girl beside her had the same expression, her mouth open and her eyes wide.

Zhu Zhuqing's brows also lifted slightly. If something like this flowed into the black market, its price definitely would not be low.

At the very least, the money she had on her would not be enough to buy it.

And Wu Zhangkong had said it was a gift. There really were quite a few good things in this academy—not only this Soul Guidance Cannon, but also the one-hundred-cubic-meter storage soul guidance device and that miraculous black steamed bun.

Xie Xie stood in the middle of the crowd, also holding a Soul Guidance Cannon. His expression was much calmer than everyone else's.

He looked at the people around him, at their mingled shock and delight, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He seemed to want to laugh, but held it in. These people were this surprised over a Level 2 soul guidance device. It was too amusing.

Tang Wulin stood beside him and reached out to tug at his sleeve, lowering his voice to say something.

The corner of Xie Xie's mouth stiffened for an instant, then returned to normal. He nodded with a stern face.

No one noticed the little movements between the two of them.

"A Level 2 Soul Guidance Cannon is only the beginning. In your studies to come, you will come into contact with defensive soul guidance devices, carrying-type soul guidance devices, and amplification-type soul guidance devices."

"The Virtual Pod you entered yesterday is also a type of soul guidance device."

At these words, everyone felt even more emotional.

Defensive, carrying, amplification... They had not expected there to be so many types. And from Wu Zhangkong's tone, this was only the tip of the iceberg.

"Teacher Wu, what is the highest level a soul guidance device can reach?"

Ning Rongrong asked the question everyone was thinking.

"Soul guidance devices have no highest tier."

Wu Zhangkong spoke calmly.

"Just as there is no upper limit to a person's soul power level, the level of a soul guidance device can also continue to rise. As long as the technology is sufficient, the materials are sufficient, and the environment is sufficient, whatever level you can create is whatever level it will be."

"In your eyes, isn't the highest soul power level for a person ninety-nine? In reality, it is not. At Level 100, one can obtain a god position and become a god. And after becoming a god and reaching another world capable of bearing divine power, a god's level can rise again. So theoretically, a person's soul power level can continue increasing indefinitely." (As long as Douluo Continent keeps going, the levels later on will get higher too.)

As if guessing the question everyone wanted to ask, Wu Zhangkong slowly explained.

"Generally speaking, the level of a soul guidance device corresponds to a soul master's number of rings. A Level 1 soul guidance device corresponds to a one-ring soul master, Level 2 corresponds to two rings, and so on."

"For soul masters, soul tools are a convenience. For ordinary people, it's the same. Some soul tools can be used by ordinary people, and they can unleash combat power no weaker than that of an average soul master."

After hearing this, everyone could not help but freeze. Ordinary people could use them, and could even erupt with combat power no weaker than a soul master's? How was that possible?

But after seeing these miraculous soul tools, no one raised any doubts.

Everyone could not help but suck in a cold breath, while Ning Rongrong's eyes shone, her curiosity toward these soul tools growing even stronger.

They could not help feeling glad that they had entered Shrek Academy. It was only the first day of school, and they had already learned something that overturned everything they knew.

If they had not entered this Shrek Academy, they probably would never have been able to witness such miraculous things in their entire lives.

And at that moment, they once again remembered what Le Zhengyu had told them when they registered: that even if an ordinary person entered this academy, they could be trained into a monster.

At first, they had still held a skeptical attitude, but now, without realizing it, everyone began to believe it.

Entering Shrek Academy really could change their original fate.

They could not help looking forward to the lessons that would follow. This was only the first day—there would definitely be even more things later, right?

Of course, even if there were not, a soul tool alone was already enough to make them wildly excited.
