Chapter 284: The Terrifying Soul Tool

  Meanwhile.

  In a dark alley not far from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy.

  "Young Master Wang, you called for me?"

  Zimu looked at the elegantly dressed Wang Shaojie in confusion.

  Once, he and Wang Shaojie were fellow disciples, not much different in rank.

  However, Zimu’s status had plummeted, making him feel humble in front of Wang Shaojie, a royal family member.

  Wang Shaojie turned around, gave Zimu a deep look, and said, "Aren’t you curious why I called you?"

  "Curious."

  "Actually, I came today to help you."

  "Help me?"

  "Do you want to win back Juzi?"

  "Of course, Young Master Wang, I dream of it." Zimu's expression became excited at these words, "But ever since being kicked out of the b by that blind Xuan Ziwen, Juzi has ignored me."

  "It's all that Qin Xiao's fault."

  Zimu’s expression turned more venomous.

  "You're right, it's all Qin Xiao's fault. But Zimu, I must say, you don’t understand how to conquer a woman."

  Wang Shaojie shook his head.

  "Please enlighten me, Young Master."

  "To conquer a woman, you must first conquer her body, then her heart."

  "Do you mean..." Zimu trembled, instantly getting some ideas.

  "Don’t you understand what I’m saying?"

  Wang Shaojie looked at Zimu, who was testing him, and said in a deep voice, "You don’t need to test me anymore. I've said everything that needs to be said. What to do next is up to you."

  With that, he turned to leave.

  "Wait."

  "Young Master Wang, I understand your meaning, but Juzi is as strong as me. I fear I can’t succeed."

  Zimu said, his eyes turning red.

  "No worries, I'll help you!"

  Wang Shaojie smiled in satisfaction.

  He had been waiting for Zimu to say this.

  "So, what do you want from me, Young Master?"

  Zimu might be crazy, but he wasn't stupid.

  Although he had some connections with Wang Shaojie, they weren’t deep enough for the tter to help him for free.

  "I don't want anything from you. I just want to use Juzi to lure out that mysterious uncle."

  Wang Shaojie said coldly.

  That's right.

  He was also targeting Qin Xiao.

  Over the past month, he discovered Qin Xiao’s extraordinary potential, making it likely for him to become a level nine soul tool master in the future.

  So, he wanted to win him over.

  But he met repeated setbacks.

  This made him feel depressed.

  Actually, if things had stopped there, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

  But Qin Xiao and Xuan Ziwen were too close.

  In the future, Qin Xiao might side with Kong Deming, becoming a potential enemy.

  So, Wang Shaojie couldn’t obtain Qin Xiao, he could only think of ways to destroy him.

  After some investigation, Wang Shaojie found that the only people associated with Qin Xiao were Xuan Ziwen and the Juzi who brought him food daily.

  He couldn’t touch Xuan Ziwen, so he decided to use Juzi to threaten Qin Xiao.

  At the same time.

  In the b.

  As Xuan Ziwen finished carving the core array, Qin Xiao was also busy and had completed a soul tool.

  Bullet.

  For regur firearms, the gunpowder in the bullet provides the main source of kinetic energy.

  Qin Xiao didn't pn to use gunpowder; instead, he used energy that was environmentally friendly and convenient: soul power!

  By engraving a storage array on the bullet casing, when the storage array was damaged during use, the soul power would burst out and propel the bullet forward.

  If further amplified by arrays within the firearm, the power could be increased.

  In essence, the bullet could be considered a small fixed soul tool.

  "Now let's build the gun body."

  Xuan Ziwen carefully pced the array core aside and brought out a rge amount of rare metals, prioritizing durability.

  Compared to the complex core arrays, making the gun body was much simpler.

  With Qin Xiao and Xuan Ziwen working together, it took less than half an hour to produce dozens of components of various sizes.

  After all, this was quite simir to a soul guidance ray gun.

  As the final assembly was completed, a one-meter-long, entirely bck, menacing sniper rifle appeared on the b table.

  "Even without using it, I can feel the hidden killing intent."

  "Let's install the core array and test it."

  Xuan Ziwen eagerly embedded the array into the reserved slot. Instantly, the sniper rifle emitted a strong fluctuation of soul power.

  He then loaded the bullets crafted by Qin Xiao and aimed at the test steel pte not far away, firing a shot.

  Bang!

  With a burst of blue fme from the barrel, a fist-sized hole appeared on the test steel pte.

  The bullet penetrated three steel ptes before stopping.

  "Wow!"

  "This power!"

  Xuan Ziwen was astonished, staring at the sniper rifle in his hands, "Before it was finished, I thought this soul tool's power would reach level five at most. Now, it's at least at the level of a level six soul tool."

  "And the difficulty of making this soul tool is only equivalent to a level three soul tool."

  Qin Xiao chuckled, "Looks decent, huh?"

  "More than decent, it's amazing."

  Xuan Ziwen said, "The core of this soul tool is the storage array, meaning anyone can use it as long as it's charged with soul power. This alone is terrifying.

  And it’s simple to make. A level three soul tool master can produce a soul tool with the power of a level six soul tool. I can’t imagine the impact this will have on the soul tool world."

  "Bro, don't get too excited. The sniper rifle has its fws." Qin Xiao said, "For instance, one bullet costs at least ten gold soul coins.

  And the gun body is also expensive. Without high-quality materials, it couldn't withstand the operation of so many arrays. Poor materials would result in the gun exploding before the bullet is even fired."

  Xuan Ziwen nodded, "That's true, but what if we use a simplified version?

  I don't aim to harm soul saints or soul emperors, just to threaten soul masters. If we don't pursue such strong power, the cost will drop significantly. Mass production and widespread use wouldn't be a dream."

  Qin Xiao nodded, "In that case, yes. Even just making a regur metal firearm and using bullets engraved with arrays could harm soul masters."

  "Yes, yes."

  Xuan Ziwen nodded vigorously, "I believe this soul tool has great potential for further development. Qin Xiao, I'll go organize my thoughts first. If this can be promoted on a rge scale, you’ll be greatly rewarded.

  I believe the empire will heavily reward you. If you want to marry a princess, I’m sure His Majesty won’t refuse."

  Qin Xiao: "..."

  He rolled his eyes at Xuan Ziwen, "In that case, the royal family would still benefit. I'm not interested in marrying a princess. I'd prefer practical benefits, like pills or treasures to improve my cultivation."

  "Haha, you're good at bargaining." Xuan Ziwen ughed, "I'll remember your words and help you negotiate."
