Soul Tools Enter the World! The Shrek Trio's Different Thoughts

Lin Yan looked around. Seeing the stunned, petrified expressions on all the girls before him, he suddenly broke into a bright grin.

"Ha ha~ This isn't a Spirit Skill. It's just some little thing I researched when I was bored."

Ning Rongrong:

"A little thing?"

Lin Yan nodded and raised a brow.

"What? Want to try it?"

Lin Yan's casual attitude made it seem as though he were simply sharing his favorite snacks. There was no sense of urgency after having just killed someone, nor any strangeness at having defied common sense.

Still reeling from the shock, Ning Rongrong asked tentatively.

"I... I can too?"

"Of course!"

With a flick of his wrist, Lin Yan took out the Twin Soul Guidance Cannon again. While Ning Rongrong was still somewhat dazed, he personally placed the Soul Cannon into her hands.

At that moment, Lin Yan stood behind Ning Rongrong with his arms around her back, his palms supporting her wrists. The two looked like a shooting instructor helping a student aim in a movie, pointing the muzzle at Bu Le and the other two corpses.

"Aim, then inject Soul Power and pull the trigger."

Lin Yan's gentle voice sounded beside Ning Rongrong's ear, and she did as instructed.

The next second... Boom!

The shell Lin Yan had fired earlier had been golden, but the one Ning Rongrong fired was azure. Blazing azure light swept through the dust and smoke, instantly blasting Bu Le and the other two corpses into scattered pieces.

Just before the filth reached them, Lin Yan once again took the initiative to spread a barrier of light and block it.

After the explosion, the street fell silent again.

Perhaps because Ning Rongrong had injected too much Soul Power, this explosion was especially powerful. Bu Le and the others' already somewhat charred corpses had now practically been reduced to ashes.

Everyone was shocked speechless once more!

If Lin Yan's full-force display earlier had shown the girls an offensive method that did not belong to a Healing Soul Master, then the azure blaze blooming from the barrel in Ning Rongrong's hands now directly violated all existing theoretical knowledge.

How could a Support Soul Master—no... two Support Soul Masters—use such an attack? Or did anyone possess this kind of power as long as they held that thing called a [barrel]?

Meng Qian was relatively fine. After all, she was only an ordinary person with limited experience, so the shock she felt toward this world-shattering ability was also limited.

But Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing were different.

Just as Ning Rongrong had in the original story when she saw Tang San's Hidden Weapons, her first thought was to equip the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with this weapon.

Xiao Wu saw a weapon even more powerful than Hidden Weapons. As for Zhu Zhuqing...

No one knew what the girl had thought of, but a flush appeared on the normally icy beauty's face, and her dark violet pupils burned with fervor.

"This... Lin Yan!"

Ning Rongrong lifted her snow-white neck in Lin Yan's embrace and met his gaze. Lin Yan revealed another gentle smile.

"What is it?"

The girl gripped the stock tightly and said,

"Can... can you give this to me?"

"Ah? That won't do!"

Lin Yan promptly stored the Twin Soul Guidance Cannon in his Storage Wristband, looking as though he was afraid Ning Rongrong might snatch it away.

"I worked hard to make this. We can talk after I've had enough fun with it."

After saying that, Lin Yan directly released the arm around Ning Rongrong and began straightening his clothes beside her.

Give the Twin Soul Guidance Cannon to Ning Rongrong? It wasn't impossible, but not now!

Before Lin Yan figured out why the system mission was stuck at 99% and refusing to move, he had no intention of giving something so world-view-shattering to anyone.

What if that old fox Ning Fengzhi caught wind of it and came looking? Or if it attracted other Sects, even experts from Spirit Hall? Then he would no longer be as free as he was now.

"Let's go. We'll get some late-night food first."

After fixing the hem of his clothes, which had been thrown into disarray by the blast's fierce wind, Lin Yan took the lead toward Suotuo City's night market.

Seeing that he was getting farther away without any intention of turning back, the girls exchanged glances and hurried after him.

As expected, aside from Lin Yan and Meng Qian, no one ate their late-night meal with much focus. Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing each had different thoughts, but all they could think about was Lin Yan's battle just now and that terrifyingly powerful weapon.

Deep night soon arrived. Everyone returned to the academy, and Lin Yan slipped into his dormitory.

As usual, after soaking in a Body Tempering Medicinal Bath, he should have gone to sleep. Tomorrow was the day they would head to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a Spirit Ring for Oscar, so he needed to rest well tonight.

"Hunting a Spirit Ring..."

"Following the plot's progression, Tang San should be obtaining the External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, right?"

"I absolutely can't let that brat get his hands on that cheat."

Muttering under his breath, Lin Yan lay in the bath barrel with a ruthless glint in his eyes.

What a joke! Saying Yu Xiaogang raised a god might be a joke, but saying the Man Faced Demon Spider raised a god? Absolutely no one would object.

Lin Yan roughly calculated that the Eight Spider Lances from that two-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider had evolved at least seven or eight times on Tang San, each evolution bringing Tang San an enormous boost in strength. In the end, they had even evolved into the "Sea God's Eight Wings."

If he went along to hunt a Spirit Ring only to watch Tang San absorb the Eight Spider Lances, then Lin Yan might as well stop opposing Tang San and become his dog.

"No matter what, I can't let Tang San obtain that Man Faced Demon Spider's Spirit Ring."

"Better yet... I'll trick him into absorbing the most absurd third Spirit Ring possible."

At that thought, Lin Yan suddenly grinned.

By then, the medicinal bath had cooled to just the right temperature. He got up, intending to dry himself off and return to bed.

However, just as he pulled on a clean set of pajamas, a soft knock suddenly sounded from inside the room.

"Lin Yan? Are you asleep?"

A woman's voice drifted through the crack in the door. Lin Yan raised his eyes, looking puzzled.

At this hour, could it be Ning Rongrong? Did she want to discuss the Soul Tool with me? Or was she here to chat as my girlfriend?

Since the voice outside was so quiet, Lin Yan instinctively assumed Ning Rongrong had come to see him.

Not until he opened the door...

"Uh... Zhuqing? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Lin Yan froze for a moment, then wore an odd expression.

The figure standing at the door was not Ning Rongrong at all. It was clearly a Big Milk Cat wearing a loose nightgown!

Under the moonlight, the dark-purple nightgown's gauzy fabric looked hazy. The mysterious allure of being able to see her snow-white skin while it remained partly concealed made Lin Yan unconsciously look twice.

He noticed that the nightgown looked slightly bulky on Zhu Zhuqing, making the girl's entire figure appear much fuller.

But Lin Yan knew that wasn't fat. It was simply how a loose nightgown looked over such an explosively curvy body.

Gulp!

Lin Yan's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed.

She came to see me in the middle of the night dressed like this. She isn't deliberately trying to seduce me, is she?

Lin Yan was not being narcissistic. It was mainly because this was already sleeping time, the entire academy was silent save for insects and birds, and Zhu Zhuqing had come to find him at a time like this...

"Um... may I come in?"
