• Ning Fengzhi offered roughly the same amount without interest or a repayment deadline, asking Fang Yuan to teach Ning Rongrong diligently.
• Fang Yuan judged that the offers were not enough for him.

Fang Yuan negotiated with Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi for generous support to build his academy, then revealed that it would also include a Soul Engineering Department. His mention of Soul Tools made the two patrons urgently call him back, especially Ning Fengzhi, who saw potential help for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Fang Yuan rejected the proposed funding and demanded far greater resources, a larger site near a major city, imperial construction staff, a two-year deadline, and control over the academy's upper management.

• Fang Yuan produced a black tube, loaded a streamlined metal device into it, and identified it as a Fixed-Mounted Soul Cannon.
• Fang Yuan explained that the cannon launched shells, weapons that had been considered impractical on Douluo Continent because they were cumbersome and of little use against powerful soul masters.

Fang Yuan demonstrated the Fixed-Mounted Soul Cannon’s power to Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, and Ning Rongrong by letting Ning Rongrong fire it at him from five hundred meters away. The shell wounded him before he healed instantly with his first Soul Skill, and Ning Fengzhi began asking how much Soul Power the cannon used.

• Fang Yuan explained how to load and fire the Fixed-Mounted Soul Cannon, while Ning Rongrong eagerly prepared to test it.

• Fang Yuan returned and healed his injuries and restored his clothes with his first Soul Skill, As Before.
• Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi recognized the cannon’s power, and Ning Fengzhi asked Ning Rongrong how much Soul Power she had used.

Fang Yuan explained that his Level Four Fixed-Mounted Soul Cannon Shell could match a full-strength strike from a Soul King, while clarifying that his higher Soul Tool levels were only theoretical divisions. He arranged a demonstration for Xue Qinghe, whose safety was ensured by an unfamiliar device Fang Yuan gave him, and the shield it produced blocked the cannon blast.

• Ning Rongrong said firing the Soul Cannon had consumed about one-tenth of her Soul Power, prompting Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi to consider its military potential.

• Ning Fengzhi offered to protect Xue Qinghe with a defensive enhancement so he could experience the Soul Cannon's power.

• The device formed a pale yellow shield that completely blocked the Soul Cannon Shell's explosion.

Fang Yuan demonstrated a Grade Six Trigger-Activated Soul Tool Shield to Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi, then gave it to the Crown Prince to win his favor. When Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi asked to buy the Soul Tool blueprints, Fang Yuan showed them a shield blueprint and warned them about the difficulty of making it.

• Xue Qinghe saw the shield block a Soul Tool Shell attack, and Ning Fengzhi examined the barrier before it dispersed.
• Fang Yuan explained that the Grade Six shield could block three Soul Emperor-level attacks or obstruct a Soul Sage-level attack for one breath.
• Fang Yuan gave the shield to Xue Qinghe and promised to give Ning Fengzhi one when he made more.
• Xue Qinghe offered to buy the blueprints for the Soul Tools, and Ning Fengzhi proposed that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect help research and produce them.

• Ning Fengzhi told Xue Qinghe that Fang Yuan’s extraordinary cultivation and Soul Tool research might be explained by a miracle of the gods.
