Ning Fengzhi's idea was wonderful, but reality was too harsh. No matter how many Gold Soul Coin he had, it was useless because Qi Ling only had one Soul Hunting Squad.
"Preparing these materials will take some time; we won't be able to gather them all until tomorrow at the earliest!" Ning Fengzhi said thoughtfully. " Qi Ling, is there enough time?"
"No problem, there's enough time. Then I'll leave it to Sect Master Ning," Qi Ling said.
The next day, after Ning Fengzhi had prepared all the materials, Qi Ling called all the members of the Soul Hunting Squad together. Also present were the Shrek Academy members, Qian Renxue, Tuoliya, Grandmaster, and others.
" Tina, let's show it to everyone," Qi Ling said with a smile. " Grandmaster, Xiao San, I'm sure you'll find this very familiar."
Tina yawned and stepped forward, then extended her left hand. The ring on her hand flashed, and a hard and huge object appeared in front of everyone.
The ring on Tina's hand is a Soul Tool for storage. Each member of the Soul Hunting Squad is equipped with one. These ten rings alone represent an unimaginable fortune.
But right now, everyone's attention wasn't on the ring; instead, it was drawn to the enormous thing in front of them. Tang San and Grandmaster couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "This, this is... Barrett?"
Indeed, what appeared before everyone was the Barrett Sniper Rifle that had once shocked Tang San and Grandmaster, and that Qi Ling had fallen in love with!
For others who saw it for the first time, although they did not understand what it did, they could tell from its unique shape that it contained power.
"But, Qi Ling, this Barrett seems different from the ones we have seen before!" The master wondered, "It seems to be much larger, and the structure has become more complex. Is this an evolved version of Barrett?"
Indeed, as the Grandmaster said, this Barrett is vastly different from the previous Barrett. The previous Barrett was already an enhanced version modified by the system, not only with astonishing power but also with an astonishing effective range of 4,000 meters, enough to cause fatal damage to anyone below the Soul Saint level.
After acquiring the Enhancement System, Qi Ling further enhanced it, evolving it into a new breed, the " Enhanced Barrett," after completing twenty stages of enhancement. Its effective range doubled, reaching 8,000 meters.
Most importantly, Barrett's power has been greatly enhanced. Even if the opponent activates their Martial Soul Avatar, as long as they are not Defense System Soul Master, they will not be able to withstand it, and it is even enough to cause damage to Soul Douluo.
That's not all. After Barrett evolved to a new stage, its bullets, Qi Ling, could also be produced. However, the requirements for materials were extremely stringent, and the more precious the materials used, the more powerful the bullets produced.
The materials Qi Ling requested from Ning Fengzhi were the highest standard for making bullets. The bullets produced could achieve maximum power, increasing the range to 10,000 meters and even penetrating the defenses of Titled Douluo, causing them damage.
Hearing Qi Ling's explanation, everyone was shocked. Ning Fengzhi exclaimed in surprise, "Is this thing really that powerful? It can actually harm Titled Douluo. It's really hard to imagine."
" Sect Master Ning, if you don't believe me, we can try it now," Qi Ling said with a smile. " Tina should have regular bullets on hand right now. Although they won't be enough to harm Titled Douluo, they should be sufficient for Soul Douluo."
"Is there any Soul Douluo expert skilled in defense who's willing to give it a try? Don't worry, I'll have Tina adjust the power to a level where nothing will go wrong, as long as everyone can feel the power of Barrett."
Among those present, there were quite a few who met this standard. Whether it was Tai Tan, the power-type Power Attack System Soul Master, or Bai Baoshan, the Defense System Soul Master among the three Education Committee members, they were all very suitable candidates.
But for some reason, everyone's gazes swept over these people in perfect unison, and then locked onto one person, the one known as " Immovable Wisdom King," Power Attack System Soul Master famous for his defense, Zhao Wuji!
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Zhao Wuji had a very bad feeling. He immediately said, "What do you mean? Why are you all looking at me? Are you trying to trick me again? I won't do that!"
Flender grinned mischievously and said, "Hey, Old Zhao, what are you saying? We're not trying to trick you, we're giving you a chance to show off!"
"You are Zhao Wuji, the Immovable Wisdom King. At the Soul Douluo level, who can have stronger defense than you, right? Show them what you've got, so everyone can know how powerful Shrek Academy is!"
Zhao Wuji wasn't having any of it, saying, "Don't give me that! Anything you do that comes my way is never good! I won't do it!"
"Hmph! Stop being so indecisive, Zhao Wuji, is this what you call a man?!" Tai Tan said disdainfully from the side. "What, did being chased by me back then kill you?"
"If you can't handle it, then I'll take your place! It's just a lump of iron, I refuse to believe that even the hardest lump of iron can be harder than my muscles!"
Upon hearing Tai Tan's words, Zhao Wuji's face turned bright red. If he didn't say anything, Tai Tan would laugh at him for the rest of his life! So even though he knew there was a trap in front of him, he had no choice but to jump in.
"No need! Brother Tai Tan, leave this to me!" Zhao Wuji immediately stepped forward and said, "It'll let everyone see that I, Immovable Wisdom King Zhao Wuji, am not just a name without substance!"
"Okay, Teacher Zhao, then please get ready." Qi Ling said with a smile, "It's not convenient to demonstrate here, let's go outside."
The group arrived at the back mountain of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Then, under Qi Ling's instructions, Zhao Wuji stood four thousand meters away, summoned his Martial Soul, unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar, and assumed a full-force defensive posture.
Looking at Zhao Wuji, who had become a Xiao Hei in the distance, everyone felt a surge of curiosity, especially Tang San. Although he had already witnessed the power of Barrett, he still had doubts.
At such a distance, his own Hidden Weapon couldn't even reach it. Even if it hit, its power would be greatly reduced, let alone cause any damage. Moreover, only he could do this; others couldn't even see it clearly, so naturally they couldn't hit it.
"Brother, are you sure we can really hit Teacher Zhao from this distance?" Tang San asked doubtfully. "Isn't this distance a bit too much of a stretch?"
Although the others remained silent, they clearly shared the same sentiment; they could barely see Zhao Wuji anymore, let alone hit him.
Qi Ling then smiled and said, " Xiao San, do you know why the Soul Hunting Squad has ten people?"
"This... I don't know," Tang San said honestly.
"That's because I spent five years selecting tens of thousands of Soul Master, and only ten of them were chosen!" Qi Ling said proudly. "You could say that each of them is a genius, one in ten thousand!"
"The new version of the Barrett, while becoming more powerful, also has an additional function: master-binding! After master-binding, the shooter and the weapon can achieve a state of oneness, fully unleashing the Barrett's capabilities."
"Furthermore, each of them possesses at least three Soul Skill dedicated to Barrett. Only in this way can they fully control Barrett and accomplish feats that leave everyone in awe."
