Chapter 163 Soul Guidance Device Concept - Soul-Splitting Sky-Shattering Gun, Instantly Killing a Soul Douluo!
[Zhu Zhuyun, age 24, Martial Soul: Netherworld Cat, Soul Power Level: 54, Personality: Arrogant and cold-blooded, with a tendency to change her temperament, Innate Aptitude Rating: S-.]

[Zhu Zhuyu, age 15, Martial Soul: Netherworld Cat, Soul Power Level 35, Introverted and obedient personality, Innate Aptitude Rating: S-.]

On the way to the Weapon Cultivation Pavilion, Su Ran's mind flashed through the aptitude information of the two newly accepted disciples, and she had already roughly determined their cultivation paths—similar to Zhu Zhuqing's Great Dao, with slight deviations based on their own soul skills and personalities.

In this way, Zhu Zhuqing can continue to teach on behalf of her master, so as not to delay their cultivation.

The rewards for accepting apprentices have been distributed. Considering the combined rewards from the Slaughter City trip, Su Ran has reaped considerable gains, and his current strength is roughly as follows:

……

Outside the pavilion, a beautiful woman dressed in a plain white dress with peach blossoms held a broom and looked back into the distance, staring blankly at the dean's back.

Before long, Su Ran led Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran to the third floor of the pavilion.

The pavilion was clean and tidy. Normally, apart from Su Ran who would come in to study the items rewarded by the system, no one else had the authority to enter.

The third shelf contained many artifacts that even Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran, who had studied the Qianming Diagram of Funerary Artifacts, did not recognize.

Meng Yiran, who usually loves studying hidden weapons, was filled with curiosity upon arriving here. She looked around, but her gaze finally settled on the teacher. Her face flushed, and her grandmother's teachings suddenly echoed in her mind:

"Teacher, you just got back, are you already teaching us new hidden weapons? Don't you need to rest? I recently learned a massage technique from my grandmother, would you like me to help you relax first?"

"no need."

Su Ran walked to a portable blackboard, picked up the teacher's stick, and said calmly:

"The reason I called you here is that although Zhu Qing's current strength is not inferior even when facing a Soul Douluo, it would be very dangerous for her to go back and finish dealing with the family's affairs and face the Star Luo Royal Family's experts alone. I am still a little worried about her, so there are some things I want to entrust to you."

Su Ran's words warmed the usually cold Zhu Zhuqing's heart; her teacher had helped her so much.

"Zhu Qing, this time when you go back, your advantage is to take things by surprise, strive for a quick victory, and overwhelm the Xingluo royal family with sheer force."

"However, although your strength has improved by leaps and bounds, achieving this will not be easy. Fortunately, your movement techniques are already mastered. Unless you are a titled Douluo with an agility-based attack, it is impossible for anyone to catch up with you. Even if you can't defeat them, you can still return safely."

"Whether I can do it or not, I will do my best this time and I will never run away!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were filled with determination.

But the next moment, Zhu Zhuqing's face darkened, she bit her lip, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "If I can't win, I'll probably lose my life in Xingluo. But I have no regrets for my family and my third sister."

"I simply cannot repay my teacher's kindness. How can I possibly repay it? Perhaps... perhaps!"

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a while before finally uttering the words "I will repay you with my body".

"No problem!"

Unexpectedly, teacher Su Ran took down a mysterious weapon, entirely black and 1.5 meters long, from the black shelf and placed it in front of her.

The weapon's body resembles black iron that has been quenched in ice, and it feels solid and cool to the touch, characteristic of metal. The most eye-catching feature is the carving on both sides of the receiver—not intricate patterns, but a scene of "mountain collapse": half of a mountain is splitting in the middle, with rubble flying like a sudden rain. Dark lines are faintly visible in the cracks, like magma surging beneath the rock layers. The carving is so sharp that it seems as if it will break free from the gun's restraints at any moment.

Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran had never learned how to use this weapon before, but at first glance, it reminded them of another weapon: the Hell Revolver equipped by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The weapon in front of us is much larger than the Hell Revolver in both weight and size, which inspires a sense of awe.

"Teacher... what... what is this?"

Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran both asked in a daze.

"I call it: Soul-Splitting Sky-Shattering Gun."

"The Soul-Splitting Sky-Shattering Gun?!"

Upon hearing the name, the two trembled. The fact that their teacher had given them such a name speaks volumes about its destructive power.

"You should know that the basic principle of hidden weapons is very rudimentary. It only uses simple force relationships to achieve instantaneous bursts of power. Therefore, hidden weapons can only be used unexpectedly and secretly, and cannot be used openly."

"But the hellish artifacts you learn to use are often infused with soul power and dark saltpeter. Sometimes they are even embedded with other gems to better control their direction and explosive power, such as the upgraded versions of the Ghost Shuttle—the Hell Ghost Shuttle and the Golden Revolver."

"However, although these items are quite good, they are only slightly better than ordinary hidden weapons. They are the prototype of the concept that the teacher is going to talk about next."

"And the Soul-Splitting Sky-Shattering Gun that I'm about to introduce to you is truly beyond the concept of a hidden weapon. It's a soul-guided killing weapon. Even if an ordinary enemy knows you're going to use it, it's difficult to counter it. They'll only be filled with fear. This is because it only requires a very small amount of soul power to activate the switch, yet it can unleash power that can instantly kill a Soul Douluo and severely injure a titled expert."

Teacher Su Ran's words completely changed Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran's worldview. Instantly killing a Soul Douluo? Severely injuring a Title Douluo? What kind of killing power is that?
And there's a new term: Soul-guided Killing Weapon.

This was something they had never heard of before.

"Teacher, what is a soul-guided weapon?" Meng Yiran couldn't help but ask.

"Humans possess strength, and the interaction of force created hidden weapons. Similarly, Soul Masters should also have equipment to match them—Soul Tools. Nowadays, most Soul Masters only see the spatial storage properties of Soul Tools and use them as storage bags."

But I call these devices, which are driven by soul power and utilize energy substances such as soul-guiding gems to unleash terrifying explosive force, soul-guiding killing weapons.

"And this Sky-Shattering Gun is an eighth-level soul-guided weapon."

"Although the Sky-Shattering Gun still needs optimization, it already possesses terrifying jet propulsion. Consider it a self-defense weapon that your master is giving you for this trip to Star Luo."

"The method of use is very simple. Just load the gun, put in the corresponding specification of black iron steel shot, and drive it with soul power through the trigger. Aim at the target, and it can shatter the soul and break the skull!"

boom--

Su Ran demonstrated the usage method to Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran.

The target was a piece of Xuan Steel, 20 centimeters thick, which was used by Senior Sister Rongrong to train her advanced inch-force technique. Even Senior Sister Rongrong could hardly leave a fist mark on it.

However, as the violent recoil struck, countless steel bead marks appeared on the black steel, deeply indenting into the interior, making it incredibly dangerous.

Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what the scene would be like if it were a human body that had collapsed.
"However, this weapon has a strong recoil, and it can only fire five shots each time it is loaded. Zhuqing, you must keep this in mind."

"Yiran, this is why your teacher asked you to come along. Your teacher knows that you have always liked to study these kinds of objects, so the next stage of your learning plan is for you to make a Soul-Splitting Sky-Shattering Gun by your own hands."
