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

Before turning to leave, Coco chuckled again and nudged Orange with her shoulder.

However, because of their height difference, Coco's shoulder bumped into Orange's...

The graceful curves are highlighted, compressed, and then rebound.

Both Keke and Ju Zi were taken aback. The strange feeling made Ju Zi tremble slightly, and she glared at Keke with anger in her eyes.

Knowing she was in the wrong, Keke chuckled awkwardly and shrank back, her red lips moving slightly as she spoke in spoken language, her eyes darting around.

"They didn't do it on purpose."

It's fine for the two of them to do this in private, but there's Yu Tianhuang, a male student, present.

Then, the two of them looked at Xu Zihuang at the same time. Seeing that Xu Zihuang's eyes were clear, they couldn't help but feel a little more favorably disposed towards this genius boy from Shrek Academy.

Ju Zi sized up Xu Zihuang for a while before saying, "Let's go. The actual control system is also on this floor."

Orange and Keke walked in front, while Xu Zihuang followed behind them.

After leaving the laboratory, the two led Xu Zihuang to the other side of the corridor before stopping.

The sixth-year students at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy number only a few dozen, and they are all quite familiar with each other. Visiting each other's laboratories is a common occurrence, especially for the Department of Practical Soul Guidance.

In simple terms, the so-called "real-control soul guidance system" refers to special combat soul masters who enhance their strength through soul guidance devices. They do not create soul guidance devices, but they are skilled in using various soul guidance devices, thereby greatly enhancing their combat power and survivability.

The laboratory of the actual control soul guidance system does not have metal tabletops for making soul guidance devices; it is entirely used as a testing ground for the power of soul guidance devices.

Orange and Coco often come here to test their newly made soul tools.

With Orange and Coco present, the three of them easily passed through the access control and entered the laboratory of the actual control soul guidance system.

Besides Xu Zihuang and his two companions, several other people had gathered here. They appeared to be students from the Soul Guidance Department. These people were all gathered around the edge of an area comparable in size to a Soul Arena.

Two Soul Masters were sparring in the center of the arena.

One of them immediately caught Xu Zihuang's attention.

She was a female student who was well over 1.8 meters tall. While she couldn't compare to Orange and Coco in terms of looks, she had a healthy tan. Her long, dark red hair was tied up in a ponytail, giving her a rather dashing and heroic air.

Two yellow, two purple, and one black spirit rings pulsed around her body. As she released her martial spirit, her body became ethereal, giving an unreal feeling as she moved at high speed.

Her speed was incredibly fast; a fiery red light suddenly flashed from her body, and the soul-guided longsword in the hand of the male student opposite her was knocked away, landing on the metal ground not far away with several crisp sounds.

"I lost." The male student smiled bitterly, but he didn't seem to find it hard to accept. Nana was a top student in their Control Department, and her combat ability was among the best in their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Losing to Nana is not shameful.

As soon as the two in the arena decided their match, Keke waved vigorously at the tall female student.

"Nana".

Without a doubt, the female student who just won the victory was none other than the Ghost Nana from the Real Control Department.

All eyes turned to this side. They were familiar with Keke and Ju Zi, but they didn't recognize the handsome and ethereal Xu Zihuang, and immediately began to whisper among themselves.

Nana approached the three men with a puzzled look in her eyes. Like most men, she couldn't help but glance at Xu Zihuang again.

"Ju Zi, Ke Ke, what can I do for you?"

Although they are familiar with each other, Nana's relationship with Ju Zi and Ke Ke is definitely not as close as that between Ju Zi and Ke Ke.

Xu Zihuang took the initiative to say, "I heard from Senior Sister Keke that you hunted down a silver wolf with five thousand years of cultivation when you went out to train. I want to buy it."

"How come I've never seen you before?" Nana asked instinctively.

"Are you sure you want to buy that silver wolf?"

"I'm an exchange student at Shrek Academy. But that's not the point. Just name your price."

Upon hearing the words "Shrek Academy," Nana raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. With a flash of light, the corpse of a wolf-shaped soul beast, about three meters long, landed in front of her.

This wolf-shaped soul beast was entirely silver-white, and its fur was like metal, reflecting a strong brilliance under the illumination of the soul guide lamp.

The blood flowing from its mouth and nose had not yet dried, which meant that the silver wolf had not been dead for long.

Nana explained, "This silver wolf had a cultivation level of about 5,500 years and had been dead for less than twelve hours. If you want it, just give it 50,000 gold soul coins."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Zihuang readily tossed a gold card worth 50,000 gold soul coins to Nana, and at the same time put the corpse of the silver wolf on the ground into his soul tool.

Just like with the orange, Xu Zihuang wasn't in a hurry to have a deep relationship with Nana. A brief meeting would suffice; there would be other opportunities later.

Coco originally wanted to slack off a bit in the actual control of the soul guidance system, but Ju Zi dragged her back to the laboratory.

On the other side, Xu Zihuang also parted ways with the two women and went to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, where they had someone extract the bones of the silver wolf at a place specifically for separating materials from soul beasts.

Both the silver wolf meat and pelts were put to good use. The pelts were made into a beautiful and comfortable blanket, while the meat was frozen and stored by Xu Zihuang. When needed later, they could be taken to the second floor of the dormitory cafeteria and, for a small fee, prepared into a nourishing dish by the chef.

Chapter 257 The pain of licking a dog

It took less than an hour to dispose of the silver wolf's carcass.

After putting his things away, Xu Zihuang quickly returned to the laboratory.

Orange and Coco were leaning against the lab table, inscribing the core magic array. Once they entered experimental mode, they were like different people, extremely focused. They didn't even notice Xu Zihuang's arrival.

Although the learning atmosphere at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is relatively relaxed, those who can pass the assessment to become sixth-year students are all elites.

Many of them were admitted to Mingde Hall.

For them, immersing themselves completely in experiments is just a basic skill.

Xu Zihuang naturally didn't say anything to disturb him. He slowly walked to his experimental table and began to make the bow-shaped soul tool.

The production of the main body requires a series of operations such as stamping and high-temperature molding, which inevitably generates noise. In order not to disturb Orange and Coco, he decided to inscribe the core magic array first.

The three were busy with their own things, leaving only the hissing sound of the carving knife cutting through rare metal echoing in the spacious laboratory.

Time flew by unnoticed. The sky outside gradually darkened.

Meanwhile, in the infirmary of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The room was filled with all sorts of large soul-guided devices, which were about the same size as those soul-guided measuring instruments.

Wang Shaojie, who had been unconscious for most of the day, finally woke up after lying on the bed. But as soon as he regained control of his body, a piercing pain swept through his entire body, causing him to gasp in pain.

"hiss--"

"Don't move, Shaojie. You have six broken ribs and other parts of your body have varying degrees of injury. The infirmary staff treated you, but we still recommend that you rest for at least half a month. During this time, it's best not to use your martial spirit or soul power."

Zi Mu, sitting beside Wang Shaojie's bed, offered a reminder.

Wang Shaojie's dark face had turned slightly pale, and his eyes were filled with a sinister look.

He said through gritted teeth.

"Zimu, where's that kid?"

Zi Mu hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but recall Yu Tianhuang's soul ring ratio, which far exceeded conventional understanding, and his expression became somewhat complicated.

"He should still be in the lab right now."

Wang Shaojie struggled to get up, completely oblivious to Zi Mu's expression.

He received the best treatment from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and although he couldn't fully recover in a short time, he could still walk with difficulty. After all, Xu Zihuang hadn't intended to kill him.

Seeing Wang Shaojie's actions, Zi Mu's expression changed slightly.

"Shaojie, Teacher Xuan said that this matter is over."

"Is this the end of it?" Wang Shaojie snorted coldly, walked past Zi Mu, and left without looking back.

Zi Mu gazed in the direction Wang Shaojie had left, a thoughtful expression on his face. He knew that given Wang Shaojie's vengeful nature, he would not let the matter rest and would most likely call in the royal guards.

But for some reason, he had a bad feeling about it.

The impact of Yu Tianhuang, this genius boy from Shrek Academy, was far greater than he had imagined.

Are such geniuses really so easy to manipulate?

"I hope I'm just overthinking it," Zi Mu sighed softly, and walked towards the sixth-grade second teaching building.

At this moment, the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was shrouded in night. Inside the laboratory, however, the soft lights automatically switched on, maintaining a bright illumination.

On the metal table in front of Xu Zihuang lay a square core magic array. Its lines were predominantly horizontal and vertical, each mark a masterpiece of craftsmanship. It was hard to imagine that these lines had been carved with a chisel.

In addition, there were some small metal parts.

By the end of the day, he had essentially completed the vast majority of the work. All that remained was to create the main body of the bow-shaped soul tool and then assemble it piece by piece.

Xu Zihuang casually put these items into his storage soul tool, then glanced at Ju Zi and Ke Ke.

Keke had long since finished her experiments and was currently adjusting her Thunder Cannon. This Thunder Cannon was even larger than the one Xu Zihuang had seen at Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department. The massive barrel contrasted sharply with Keke's petite frame.

The core magic array created by the orange seems to be nearing its end.

Ju Zi's talent at the Soul Master level is indeed remarkable. Even from a distance of more than ten meters, Xu Zihuang, who possesses the Golden Eye Martial Soul, can clearly see the core magic array inscribed by Ju Zi.

The complexity of the individual core formations combined is no less than that of a level six core formation.

"Phew, finally finished." Orange let out a long sigh and stretched lazily.

Keke's gaze was also drawn to it, and she looked at the core magic array in Ju Zi's hand and exclaimed in admiration.

"Sister Orange, with your level, I feel there's a very good chance you'll pass Mingde Hall's assessment."

Orange smiled, but a barely perceptible hint of loneliness flashed deep in her eyes.

She had never considered applying to Mingde Hall. She would be leaving the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy at the end of this semester.

Just then, a steady footstep sound came from afar, causing the two to instinctively look up.

Xu Zihuang smiled and said to the two of them, "Senior Orange, Senior Keke. Thanks to your help today, I was able to buy that thousand-year-old silver wolf. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Before I go back to the lab, I asked the chef in the cafeteria to grill the silver wolf's two front legs for me."

"Charcoal-grilled thousand-year-old silver wolf leg?!" Upon hearing Xu Zihuang's words, Keke's eyes lit up.

Silver wolf meat is an excellent ingredient, and the foreleg meat is especially tender. This top-quality dish isn't something you can enjoy every day.

"Isn't this a bad idea?" Keke couldn't help but swallow. She hesitated verbally, but her actions betrayed her words.

Xu Zihuang smiled gently.

"There's nothing wrong with that. Didn't Teacher Xuan tell me to ask you and Senior Sister Ju Zi for help if I have any questions in the future? I'll definitely be troubling you a lot in the future, so it's only right that I treat you to a meal."

Keke chuckled and said, "Since you've put it that way, then Sister Orange and I won't stand on ceremony."

Orange gave Keke a disgruntled look.
