Tang Ya was persuaded by Bei Bei, and her eyes flickered slightly.

"Come with me!" A slight smile flashed across Beibei's face; her goal had been achieved.

He slowly got up, took Tang Ya, left Poseidon Island, crossed Poseidon Lake, and arrived at Shrek Academy's outer courtyard.

Upon arriving at the Soul Guidance Department of the Outer Court, the place was still brightly lit, with the Soul Guidance Lamps emitting a soft white light that dispelled the darkness.

Beibei took out a Level 2 Soul Master badge and put it on his chest. In the past few years, he has occasionally gone to Fanyu to learn about Soul Tools, and he is now able to make a Level 2 Soul Tool on his own.

Along the way, Tang Ya noticed that many places in the Soul Guidance Department were still lit up. She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked with some confusion, "Aren't the students in the Soul Guidance Department dismissed so late?"

Beibei patiently explained, "The teachers and students in the Soul Guidance Department are very enthusiastic about the research of Soul Guidance Devices. They often study until very late, and when inspiration strikes, they don't sleep for several days."

"This is absolutely insane," Tang Ya said in disbelief.

"Although our Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department ranks among the top in the entire Douluo Continent in terms of the research and development of Soul Guidance Devices, we are still far behind the Sun Moon Empire."

Beibei said softly, "Whether it's the basic research and development of soul tools, the technological application, or the actual combat effects, there's a difference of at least several hundred years."

Tang Ya was unaware of the difference Bei Bei mentioned, but even just the Soul Guidance Department of the Outer Courtyard, the level of mechanization here was truly eye-opening for her.

She had lived in Tiandou City since she was a child and had never seen so many novel things before, as if she had opened the door to a new world.

Beibei brought Tang Ya to the Soul Tool Experiment Area and showed her Soul Tools of various levels.

Melee Soul Tools, Ranged Soul Tools, Defensive Soul Tools, Auxiliary Soul Tools, Fixed Soul Tools...

As Tang Ya watched, her face gradually went from initial curiosity to pallor, and her lips trembled slightly.

Previously, she only knew hearsay about soul tools, and under her father's influence, she even thought that soul tools were just a bunch of sensationalism.

But when she witnessed it with her own eyes, the cruel reality and truth completely shattered her father's ridiculous lie.

"How are you feeling?" Beibei looked at the other person and asked softly.

"Currently, the strongest soul tool on the continent is a level nine soul tool, whose power is enough to reach the level of a titled Douluo. Even in our Shrek Academy, we don't have such a soul tool." Bei Bei sighed softly as she spoke.

"My Tang Clan's hidden weapons can be activated even without using soul power. Back then, our ancestor Tang San even injured a god with some kind of hidden weapon technique!" Tang Ya said stubbornly, still not believing that hidden weapons were inferior to soul tools.

"And after him! Who in the Tang Clan throughout history has been able to perform this feat?" Bei Bei continued.

"Who can make those hidden weapons now! You probably can't even make a single Zhuge Crossbow these days!"

His words were very sharp; he wanted Tang Ya to face reality.

Let her break free from her father's influence, free her from the shackles of the Tang Clan's past glory, and make her realize for certain that the Tang Clan has completely declined.

"No...that's not how it is..." Tang Ya could find no reason to argue, her pupils dilated slightly, and she could only irrationally object.

"Hmph, then let's let the facts speak for themselves." Beibei pulled Tang Ya to a testing area.

He said to Tang Ya, "I'll use a soul tool, you use hidden weapons, let's see who wins and who loses!"

"Okay." Tang Ya nodded, her eyes regaining their firmness.

"I won't bully you. I won't use soul skills, I'll only use this level three defensive soul tool and this level three soul ray." Bei Bei took out two soul tools from her storage soul tool.

He hung the defensive soul guide device on his chest and fixed the soul guide ray to his arm.

Tang Ya revealed the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon at her waist, her hands flashing as her fingertips instantly filled with all sorts of hidden weapons.

After the two stood still, Bei Bei activated the soul tool on his chest, and a thin soul power shield enveloped his body.

"Let's begin!" Beibei gestured for the other party to make a move.

Tang Ya didn't stand on ceremony. A purple light flashed in her eyes. This was the Tang Clan's eye-training method, the Purple Demon Eye.

She suddenly swung her hands out, sending various hidden weapons flying.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."

The hidden weapons were launched at various tricky angles, some even forming an arc and circling behind Beibei.

However, Bei Bei remained unmoved, letting the hidden weapons fall on the soul-guided shield. The dense metallic clanging sound rang out, but it was unable to break through this thin soul power shield.

Tang Ya was somewhat unwilling, so she raised her right hand and sent a golden light flying straight towards Bei Bei.

Beibei naturally recognized it as the Dragon Beard Needle, a weapon specifically designed by the Tang Sect to defend against soul power.

He raised the soul-guided ray on his arm, and a surge of soul power gathered, sending out a finger-thick beam of soul power that knocked the dragon whisker needle down.

Then, Bei Bei launched an attack on Tang Ya, shooting several beams of soul power towards her.

Tang Ya shifted her feet, using the Tang Sect's movement techniques to dodge the beams of soul power with ghostly movements.

For those things that were unavoidable, Tang Ya's hands turned white as she endured them.

Soon, Tang Ya was panting, while Bei Bei remained calm and composed, without even moving an inch.

Seeing that Tang Ya had no more strength, Bei Bei put away the soul tool and came to her, saying, "Now you should understand why the Tang Clan's hidden weapons have declined."

Tang Ya's cheeks were covered in sweat, her eyes lost their light, and she nodded somewhat sadly.

Her entire worldview collapsed completely, and she finally faced reality.

"Is it too late for me to learn about soul tools now?" Tang Ya asked in a low voice.

"Unless you are a soul guidance genius, if you want to truly develop the Tang Sect, you must at least become an eighth-level soul guidance master."

Beibei said mercilessly, "With your talent and only the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, without any fortuitous encounters, becoming a Soul King will be your end in this life."

Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass might be a bit special, after all, her cultivation speed isn't too slow, but the nature of Blue Silver Grass determines its potential.

Unless Tang Ya is willing to fall into the trap of becoming an evil soul master, or is able to awaken into the Blue Silver Emperor, her talent and achievements as a soul master are destined to be limited in this lifetime.

"Is there really no chance?" Tang Ya knelt on the ground, her head bowed, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.

"For a power to develop, money, technology, resources, and talent are all indispensable."

Beibei continued to patiently persuade her, "Unless you can find another way, an innovative fusion of soul tools and hidden weapons, the collision of the two might allow you to overtake others by taking a detour."
