Chapter 160 New Soul Guidance Devices to Entice Ning Fengzhi

"uh-huh!"

"Let's go! Let's find somewhere else, Brother Xue. Could we find a private place?"

Xue Qinghe gave Lin Hai a deep look. "Come with me!"

……

"This place is a secret underground room in this teahouse. Is that alright with you?"

Lin Hai looked around the sealed room. It was quite large, with metal walls all around, giving it a degree of protection. "It's a good place. It should be able to withstand my experiments. I might make a bit of noise later. You don't mind, do you?"

"Haha, go ahead and do it." This place was originally built as a protected area.

Only Lin Hai, Ning Fengzhi, and Xue Qinghe were present; the rest of the guards were outside.

"Then please enjoy... the fireworks I've specially prepared!"

"..." Fireworks? What the hell? What kind of fireworks could there be here?

Lin Hai walked in front of the two, slowly raised his soul-guided pistol with his right hand, and aimed it at the golden-iron wall in front of him. As Lin Hai mobilized his soul power, it slowly flowed into the soul-guided pistol in his hand and was transmitted into the soul-guided array.

The principle of the soul-guided pistol is to use the "soul-guided array" to "concentrate and amplify" soul power into a high-energy soul power beam, and then use other soul-guided arrays to help to gather the soul power at the speed of light, correct the firing position, and finally fire a soul power light bullet.

……

Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi could feel the soul power fluctuations gathering at the muzzle of the gun. While the two were still surprised by the soul tool in Lin Hai's hand, the soul-guided pistol had already fired a soul power light bullet.

call out!

A beam of soul energy was fired and rushed toward the iron wall.

"Boom!" A loud noise followed, and the ground shook. The guards outside heard the loud noise and thought they were under attack. They rushed into the underground chamber and protected the group.

Only the rising smoke and dust ahead proved that everything that had just happened was real.

Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi's heads were buzzing. The smoke and dust had dissipated, and where it had been, the iron wall had been blasted through, and a hole had been blown into the outer layer of soil.

That seemingly insignificant soul tool actually possessed such destructive power.

After the initial shock, Ning Fengzhi was the first to become excited. This soul tool was something their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School desperately needed, absolutely desperately needed!!

Although Tang San sold him hidden weapons, they were still worldly weapons and their damage to Soul Masters was limited. Once Soul Masters became wary, it became much more difficult to harm them.

Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not like the Imperial Army. The disciples in their school are all Soul Masters. Hidden weapons are useful, but not very useful.

The items in Lin Hai's hands could give these support-type Soul Masters the means to attack, which was more attractive than Tang San's hidden weapons.

Why does the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only accept disciples? It's because their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul Masters and other support-type Soul Masters have no offensive means at all!

Ning Fengzhi waved to the people who rushed in, "No one is attacking you, you can leave now!"

Those people then withdrew.

"Xiao Hai, can I try out this soul tool?" Ning Fengzhi tried his best to remain calm.

"Of course." Lin Hai handed the soul-guided pistol to Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi took it and examined it carefully. At that moment, Xue Qinghe also came over.

After looking at it for a while, Ning Fengzhi said to Lin Hai, "This... how do I use it!"

Lin Hai then explained to him how to use the Soul Guidance Pistol.

Ning Fengzhi gave it a try...

Whoosh! Boom!

The soul-guided light bullet struck the iron wall again.

Ning Fengzhi felt an attack that resembled an offensive soul skill for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel happy. Even the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

"Brother Xue, what do you think of this little gadget of mine?"

Xue Qinghe had regained his composure. "Is this something only Soul Masters can use?"

"Not entirely! Anyone with soul power can use it."

"In large-scale warfare, if a Soul Master Corps is equipped with the Soul Guidance Devices I created, it can achieve long-range strikes, while ordinary soldiers can charge after being bombarded."

"I remember there's been a rumor about something called the Zhuge Divine Crossbow lately! Actually, it's just an enhanced version of a crossbow. If this kind of thing were used in war, as long as it's at a distance, there wouldn't be too many casualties."

"The Soul Guidance Pistol is not the first Soul Guidance Device I've researched, nor will it be the last."

"So, Uncle Ning, Brother Xue, you...should give me an answer now!!!"

"I have the skills, it's just a matter of whether you have the guts."

"Working with me won't hurt you, Uncle Ning. You should be interested in the technology of soul tools."

"Why do you insist on me taking the position?"

"Hmph, isn't that what you yourselves think? I just helped you bring this step forward!"

"Emperor Xue Ye's Heavenly Dou Empire and your Heavenly Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe, are two completely different things to me!"

Xue Qinghe didn't speak further. He wanted to wait for Ning Fengzhi. Whether he agreed with Lin Hai or disagreed with him, the final decision rested with Ning Fengzhi. Although he did agree with Lin Hai.

But how could he know that if he didn't speak, Ning Fengzhi would absolutely not open his mouth?

Ning Fengzhi was extremely conflicted. On one hand, there was something that would allow their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to establish itself and, more importantly, refute the misconception that support-type Soul Masters had no combat power. On the other hand, the item in Lin Hai's hand was a weapon superior to Tang San's Zhuge Crossbow, a weapon more suited to Soul Masters.

On the other hand, if they were to actually do that, the reputation that their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had built up over the years would be at risk of being destroyed, and the risk would be extremely high.

"Hmph, I didn't say we had to force him to abdicate! It's better to relieve Emperor Xueye's suffering as soon as possible. He's been emperor long enough. The lion is old, Brother Xue. If you still want to save this vast empire, you'd better make a decision quickly." Lin Hai spoke the most cruel words in the calmest tone.

……

As time passed, the two still couldn't make up their minds.

"Alright, since you can't figure it out right away, take your time. I'm leaving now."

Lin Hai then left, leaving Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi alone in the secret room.

After a moment of silence, Ning Fengzhi finally spoke, "Qinghe, what exactly are you thinking?"

Ning Fengzhi didn't have much affection for Emperor Xue Ye, but Xue Qinghe was different. He was his student, and the teacher-student relationship on Douluo Continent was a very special one, comparable to the bond between father and son in some ways.

"There's something I don't know if you've noticed, Uncle Ning."

"Um?"

"The Spirit Hall's reach is quite far; they've already won over the Elephant Armor Sect, one of the four lower sects."
