While everyone was still immersed in their shock, the corners of Feng Xiaoyuan's lips slowly curled upward.
"Don't rush."
"The team uniforms are only the first gift."
"There's a second one coming up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Xiaoyuan took a large wooden chest out of his Storage Soul Guidance Device.
Feng Xiaoyuan set the chest on the ground and slowly opened it.
Nine strange black weapons lay quietly inside the chest.
Each was only about the size of a palm, with smooth, elegant lines along its body.
They were impossible to look away from.
Their muzzles glinted faintly silver, giving them an unmistakably technological feel at a glance.
Huo Wushuang could not help stepping closer to examine the weapons carefully.
"Could these be Soul Guidance pistols?"
Feng Xiaoyuan nodded.
"That's right."
"But these aren't the Soul Guidance pistols auctioned off at the last auction."
"These are improved, second-generation Soul Guidance pistols."
"Both their power and stability have improved considerably."
As he spoke, Feng Xiaoyuan picked up one of the Soul Guidance pistols and began introducing it.
"You only need to inject Soul Power into a Soul Guidance pistol, and it will condense the energy itself."
"Then, once you pull this, it will fire the energy inside."
Feng Xiaoyuan pointed at the trigger.
Then Feng Xiaoyuan looked toward the other side, where there was a large boulder.
"Watch closely."
Feng Xiaoyuan slowly raised the Soul Guidance pistol and poured the Soul Power within his body into it.
The next moment, Feng Xiaoyuan gently pulled the trigger.
Bang.
With a soft crack, an energy bullet shot out in an instant.
A distant boulder exploded at once, turning into fragments that scattered through the air.
Everyone's eyes widened immediately.
Huo Wu could not help crying out.
"It's that powerful?"
Feng Xiaoyuan nodded.
"The true advantage of the Soul Guidance pistol hasn't even been demonstrated yet."
"Soul Guidance pistols aren't restricted by Martial Souls. Even Support System Soul Masters can use them."
At that, Feng Xiaoyuan handed a pistol to Ning Rongrong.
"Rongrong."
"Give it a try."
Ning Rongrong eagerly accepted it and copied Feng Xiaoyuan's earlier movements.
She slowly raised the pistol and aimed at another large boulder in the distance.
But it was her first time using one, and she was a little nervous. Even her hands trembled slightly.
An energy bullet flew out, but it veered far off target.
It struck the large tree beside the boulder instead.
With a boom, a huge hole was blasted through the tree.
Ning Rongrong's pretty face immediately reddened, and she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
"I missed."
Everyone could not help laughing.
Feng Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
"It's alright."
"For your first time using a Soul Guidance pistol, you did very well."
"Try again."
Ning Rongrong nodded.
She readjusted her breathing and raised the Soul Tool pistol again.
This time, she was clearly much steadier, and her hand no longer trembled.
Bang.
Another energy bullet shot out from the Soul Tool pistol.
Boom.
Another large boulder in the distance instantly exploded.
Ning Rongrong immediately jumped up in delight.
"I hit it."
"Wow, I hit it!"
Feng Xiaoyuan smiled and nodded.
"Not bad."
"Practice more in the future."
"Your accuracy will get even better."
Feng Xiaoyuan then looked at the others.
"Everyone, give it a try as well."
Huo Wushuang was the first to take the pistol and briefly familiarize himself with it.
Then he raised his hand and pulled the trigger.
Bang.
The energy bullet struck the target with precision.
Lei Jie was much the same.
He hit the target accurately with almost his very first shot.
Although Huo Wu's first shot was slightly off, her second one hit the target precisely.
The Shui Bing'er sisters, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan also tried out the Soul Tool pistols in turn.
Gunshots rang out continuously across the Martial Arts Arena.
Excited smiles filled everyone's faces.
Just as everyone was still immersed in the shock brought by the Soul Tool pistols, Feng Xiaoyuan slowly spoke.
"From today onward,"
"these Soul Tool pistols are yours as well."
The moment those words came out, everyone was stunned.
Huo Wushuang looked down at the Soul Tool pistol in his hand, then at the Soul Tool battle suit on his body.
He could not help but draw a deep breath.
"Captain."
"This welcome gift of yours is really something else."
Hearing Huo Wushuang's words, the others felt the same and nodded.
A defensive Soul Tool battle suit and an offensive Soul Tool pistol.
Either one, if placed in the outside world, would likely spark a scramble among countless soul masters.
Yet Feng Xiaoyuan had given them away without hesitation.
Feng Xiaoyuan looked at them and slowly said, "These things aren't for you to show off."
"In future battles, I hope they will give you one more means of protecting yourselves."
"Remember, Soul Tools are ultimately only aids."
"The ones who can truly decide victory or defeat will always be the soul masters themselves."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions gradually turned serious.
Huo Wushuang stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said solemnly, "Captain."
"I, Huo Wushuang, promise you."
"I will never betray this trust of yours."
Huo Wu nodded as well.
"This gift is far too precious."
"If you ever need any help in the future, just ask."
Shui Bing'er spoke softly.
"Thank you."
Though it was only two words, everyone could feel the sincerity within them.
Lei Jie said nothing more, merely putting away the Soul Tool pistol in silence.
Then he gave Feng Xiaoyuan a solemn nod.
Ning Rongrong ran straight over to Feng Xiaoyuan and said with a grin.
"Feng Xiaoyuan."
"Does that mean there'll be even more new Soul Tools in the future?"
Feng Xiaoyuan smiled and ruffled her little head.
"Of course."
"The Soul Tools you wear will all be upgraded and replaced over time."
"There may even be stronger Soul Tools."
"When the time comes, all of you will have them."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong immediately broke into a delighted smile.
"That's great!"
Just then, Feng Yan slowly walked over.
He looked at everyone, now dressed in matching team uniforms.
Then nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad."
"Now you look like a real team."
"Starting today, the nine of you will represent the Elemental Team."
"No matter where you go in the future, don't ever forget."
"You are not fighting alone. You carry the team's honor."
Everyone straightened up at once and answered in unison.
"Yes!"
Feng Yan smiled and waved his hand.
"That'll be all for today."
"I've already arranged dormitories for you."
"Go back and familiarize yourselves with your equipment first."
"Formal training begins tomorrow."
Everyone nodded, then left the Sparring Arena in groups of two and three.
Along the way, they discussed the Soul Tool combat suits and Soul Tool pistols they wore.
Huo Wushuang in particular could not put his Soul Tool pistol down, constantly studying its structure.
Ning Rongrong simply happily pulled Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan along.
She kept showing off her new team uniform.
