The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

"Zimu, what's going on?"

"Teacher Xuan..."

Zi Mu lowered his head in shame.

Xu Zihuang said casually, "Wang Shaojie provoked and insulted me, so I took action. Don't worry, Teacher Xuan, I didn't kill him; he was just slightly injured at most. But if there's a next time, things might be different. However, you don't need to worry; I'll take full responsibility and won't cause you any trouble."

"Kicked nearly a hundred meters away and knocked unconscious, and you say you only suffered minor injuries?" Keke's lips twitched slightly.

She had just clearly heard the cracking sounds of bones breaking coming from Wang Shaojie's body.

Xuan Ziwen looked at Xu Zihuang with a complicated expression and pondered, "Since Wang Shaojie provoked and insulted me first, let's let this matter drop. Although you are an exchange student from Shrek Academy, you will be studying here for two and a half years, and fighting is strictly prohibited in the laboratory. I don't want this to happen again. Of course, I will also restrain Wang Shaojie. What do you think?"

Wang Shaojie knew his personality very well, and he knew that Yu Tianhuang's words were not an exaggeration at all.

This was purely Wang Shaojie's own fault for asking for trouble, and he can't blame anyone else for being taught a lesson.

He has always been objective, not personal.

“Teacher Xuan, I agree with most of what you said. However, I don’t think you need to restrain Wang Shaojie. If he wants to cause trouble for me, let him come. We Shrek Academy people are never afraid of trouble.” Xu Zihuang smiled calmly.

Xuan Ziwen waved his hand dismissively.

"Zimu, take Wang Shaojie to the infirmary to treat his injuries."

"Yes." Zi Mu retracted her soul tool and responded. A complex expression also appeared in her gaze as she looked at Xu Zihuang.

Zi Mu carried Wang Shaojie away, Xuan Ziwen said with a furrowed brow.

“Tianhuang, Wang Shaojie’s matter is a bit troublesome. He comes from the royal family, although he is not a direct member of the royal family, but he is still a registered noble. You injured him, and you still have to give the academy an explanation.”

Now that Yu Tianhuang has become his student, he has to take responsibility for him.

In response, Xu Zihuang simply took out a bright golden token from his soul tool.

Upon seeing the elegant characters 'Red Dust' above, Xuan Ziwen's pupils contracted, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

"Alright, you can continue with your work. Feel free to come to me anytime if you have any questions."

From Orange and Coco's perspective, they couldn't see the token in Xu Zihuang's hand. They only knew that Yu Tianhuang had taken something out of the soul tool, and then Xuan Ziwen's attitude changed instantly.

Xuan Ziwen left the laboratory again, and the laboratory door closed, leaving only Xu Zihuang, Ju Zi, and Ke Ke. The atmosphere was slightly heavy.

Xu Zihuang began making the bow-shaped soul tool to match Lei Huojian on his own.

Orange and Coco both sat back down on the chairs next to the lab table, curiously observing Xu Zihuang, without feeling any ill will towards him. Both were girls who could distinguish right from wrong.

Although Xu Zihuang's response was a bit harsh and brutal, ultimately it was Wang Shaojie who provoked the trouble.

Of course, compared to Keke, there was an inexplicable meaning in Ju Zi's gaze.

Chapter 256 Ghost Nana

Xu Zihuang was lying on the metal tabletop, meticulously drawing blueprints for a bow-shaped soul guide device.

Detailed design drawings are required before any soul tool can be made.

He had already conceived of this bow-shaped soul tool, and with his top-tier level six soul master abilities, it was naturally a piece of cake for him.

While drawing the design, he was also thinking about other things.

Although Ju Zi didn't show much unusual behavior just now, the emotions deep in her eyes were impossible to hide.

It seems highly likely that Ju Zi recognized him. His appearance has changed drastically compared to six years ago. Considering Ju Zi's reaction after he released his martial soul, if she recognized him, it must be because of the characteristic of his golden-eyed martial soul.

Xu Zihuang thought back carefully, and vivid images appeared in his mind.

After a moment, he understood.

It turned out to be the case.

In this way, he will have a huge advantage if he wants to contact Orange in the future.

Before they knew it, the ingeniously designed bow-shaped soul guide pattern gradually appeared on the paper, with clear annotations for everything from the source of materials to the combination of the core magic array and even every detail.

The soul tool designed by Xu Zihuang is of the wind attribute.

As the saying goes, fire is fueled by the wind, and wind and thunder are interdependent. This allows the destructive and penetrating power of the thunder rocket to be maximized, and also greatly increases its range.

The silver bow that Xu Zihuang took out earlier was just a basic ten-stone bow, with a maximum range of about three hundred meters. But thanks to the second acceleration from the core array inside the Thunder Arrow, the range can be increased to two thousand meters.

Such a range is already quite astonishing. After all, the attack range of a typical ranged Soul Master is only around two hundred meters. Any further and a fixed Soul Guidance Device is needed to ensure lethality.

Like ranged soul skills, the power of ranged soul tools also decreases with increasing distance.

With the added boost from the wind-attribute bow-shaped soul tool, the maximum range of the Thunder Rocket is expected to exceed four thousand meters, comparable to a fixed-mount soul-guided cannon of the same level.

However, compared to a fixed-mount soul-guided cannon, this lightning rocket is much easier to manufacture. Moreover, it requires far fewer rare metals than a fixed-mount soul-guided cannon, greatly reducing costs.

However, crafting this bow-shaped soul tool requires a considerable amount of high-quality materials. The rare metals supporting the core magic array are secondary; the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's laboratories are never short of rare metals. He can buy even the rarest and most precious ones with money.

What he needs to find most right now is the main material.

Since it is a bow-shaped soul tool, the main body needs to have excellent toughness and resilience, and it also needs to be compatible with the wind element.

The bones and meridians of those wind-attribute soul beasts would be a good choice.

Element affinity?

Xu Zihuang suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a special soul beast that only lived in the Sun Moon Empire: the silver wolf.

Silver Wolf possesses an innate affinity for various elements, and by using his powerful mental strength to control them, he can unleash a variety of multi-attribute soul skills.

Just then, an incredulous soft exclamation interrupted Xu Zihuang's train of thought.

"So you're also a Level 5 Soul Master? And a Soul King with such an abnormal Soul Ring ratio of three purple and two black? Are you an all-around warrior? How did you, this freak, cultivate from childhood to adulthood?"

Xu Zihuang glanced to the side and saw that it was Keke who had come to speak.

Keke is only about 1.6 meters tall, and even when standing, she's not much taller than Xu Zihuang when he's sitting. Her petite stature gives her the appearance of a miniature Lolita, but she's actually nineteen years old this year.

Xu Zihuang stood up and stretched, instantly becoming taller than Keke. But even this casual movement startled Keke, who immediately raised her hands to protect herself, almost crouching down to cover her head.

What are you going to do?

Wang Shaojie's fate is still fresh in everyone's memory. She had just unintentionally called Yu Tianhuang a freak, and she was genuinely afraid that Yu Tianhuang would do the same to her.

Although she possessed superhuman strength, in terms of physical endurance, there was still a significant gap between her and Wang Shaojie. If she were to take a hit, her fate would be far worse than Wang Shaojie's.

However, to Keke's surprise, Yu Tianhuang not only did not get angry, but also gave her a gentle smile, which made her momentarily stunned.

"Senior Keke, don't you know? Our Shrek Academy has another name, Monster Academy."

Coco suddenly realized that this genius boy from Shrek Academy wasn't so difficult to get along with after all.

Also, his smile is really handsome!

"Stop being so infatuated." Orange walked over and patted Keke on the back.

Coming to her senses, Keke blushed slightly and turned around to stick her tongue out at Ju Zi.

"Am I such a shallow person? I was just a little curious."

Xu Zihuang also greeted Ju Zi with a smile.

"Senior Orange".

Orange was considerably taller than Keke, with a well-proportioned figure. While not the voluptuous type, she was still quite well-endowed. Compared to the rather thin Keke beside her, it was a clear case of being outclassed. Her fair, rosy skin was flawless, as if it could be squeezed to release moisture. The silver-white school uniform she wore perfectly accentuated her beautiful figure.

Beneath the same silver-white knee-length skirt were a pair of straight calves, as white and flawless as the skin on her face.

Ju Zi and Xu Zihuang looked at each other and asked with great curiosity.

"Yu Tianhuang, you said your martial soul is the Golden Eye. Does that mean your martial soul is your eyes? And your second martial soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. Are you a descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan from the Douluo Continent?"

Ju Zi's ability to disguise herself was no less than Xu Zihuang's, and she asked the question very naturally. She always gave the impression of being somewhat lazy and naive, completely concealing the hatred she carried deep inside.

Xu Zihuang nodded calmly.

"My first martial soul is indeed my eyes. However, although I am a descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan from ten thousand years ago, I am not from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan of the current Douling Empire. I am a citizen of the Tianhun Empire."

People from the Heavenly Soul Empire?

Orange murmured to herself, but her expression remained unchanged.

Xu Zihuang continued, "By the way, Senior Sister Ju Zi and Senior Sister Ke Ke, do you know where I can buy the bones of a Silver Wolf, a soul beast? It has to be the bones of a Silver Wolf with at least three thousand years of cultivation."

"Silver Wolf?" Keke's eyes darted around, then she said in a sweet voice.

"I know! I heard this morning in the dorm that Nana, a sixth-year student from the Practical Control Department, successfully hunted a silver wolf with 5,000 years of cultivation while training in the Jingyang Mountains and is thinking of selling it. But I have to tell you beforehand, the bones and fur of the silver wolf are excellent materials for making soul tools, and its meat is also very delicious and can nourish a soul master's body. If you want to buy this silver wolf, you'd better be prepared to spend a lot of money. If you're not in a hurry, you can wait until the silver wolf is sold and dissected before buying the bones separately. That should save you some money."

Whether it was because she had a strong liking for Xu Zihuang, or because of her innate kindness, or a combination of both, Keke was extremely open and honest with Xu Zihuang.

Nana from the Department of Real Control?

Upon hearing Keke's words, Xu Zihuang immediately thought of someone.

Among the sixth-year students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the only one also named Nana is probably the Ghost Nana.

Her parents' souls were imprisoned by members of the Holy Spirit Cult, and she herself currently has ties to the Holy Spirit Cult.

Nana's martial soul is the Ghost, and her cultivation talent is considered outstanding within the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Her qualification to represent the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament is the most direct evidence of this.

Her childhood experiences could make her a very loyal subordinate, but only if she helps her save her parents' souls.

Xu Zihuang is determined to destroy the Holy Spirit Cult and exact revenge in the future. Since he's going to confront the Holy Spirit Cult anyway, he wouldn't mind helping Nana once and subduing her, provided his safety is guaranteed.

Unlike Huo Yuhao and Dai Luoli, Nana's current value far surpasses that of the two, so there's no need to worry about her being bitten by a dog instead.

The pros and cons are not difficult to weigh.

Xu Zihuang nodded to Keke and said, "Don't worry about the money. Senior Keke, if you have time, could you take me to find Nana? I'm planning to start making that soul tool soon, so it'll save me a lot of trouble if I buy it sooner."

"Looks like she's not short of money either." Feeling a little smug after being called "senior sister" by Xu Zihuang, Keke crossed her arms and said proudly.

"Alright, alright. I really can't do anything with you. It's all because Teacher Xuan told us to take good care of you. Come with me, Nana and the students in the Department of Practical Control are also in this teaching building."

As for Wang Shaojie's matter, she had long forgotten about it.

Both she and Ju Zi were born into commoner families, and they didn't have much affection for Wang Shaojie, who usually liked to put on airs like royalty. At most, their relationship was only superficially harmonious because of their classmate bond.

In contrast, Zimu, who also came from a noble family, was much better in his approachable manner.

However, because Zimu has always liked Juzi, and Juzi has clearly rejected Zimu several times, their relationship is quite delicate.

"Sister Orange, why don't you come with us? It'll be good to get some fresh air. We're all cooped up in the lab every day, it's driving us crazy. I wonder when we'll be able to go out and gain some experience again."
