Chapter 23 - Railgun Firing Test

At this moment, Flander wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally asked Shao Xin why everyone had gathered here.

Shao Xin smiled and explained that Oscar and Aos Qin had created a new Soul Guidance Device during the vacation, and they insisted that all the teachers see it. In his words, there was also a subtle pride in his disciples.

Although the other teachers looked down on Shao Xin's petty pride over something not yet seen, none of them said anything.

If this new Soul Guidance Device turned out to be powerful, then let the little man be proud — after all, he had two good disciples. If it was mediocre, then they would deal properly with the three of them — teacher and disciples alike.

Seeing that little fatty was now fine, Flander didn't linger on the matter and continued speaking:

"Hongjun, you already know the academy teachers. The other two kids here are the students I mentioned before — the other two students in the academy.

They are two years older than you, twin brothers, food-type Soul Masters with full innate Soul Power, and they also have Martial Soul fusion techniques. Their Soul Power should be approaching level twenty. By then, they can go hunt Soul Rings with you."

Before Flander could finish, Shao Xin interjected:

"Flander, who are you looking down on? Oscar and Aos Qin already reached level twenty during the vacation. Clearly, they are the ones waiting for your disciple."

This made the rest of the teachers all burst into laughter.

But Flander was Flander — could anyone really refute him? He said:

"My disciple has a phoenix Martial Soul with innate Soul Power of rank nine. You people without disciples have no right to laugh at me."

That remark made every teacher except Shao Xin glare at him in anger.

Just then, little fatty, who had finally swallowed what was in his mouth, broke the gradually awkward atmosphere.

With a bright smile, he greeted Oscar and Aos Qin:

"Hello, two brothers. I'm little fatty Ma Hongjun. My Martial Soul is a phoenix, a rank-nine Soul Master. You two are food-type Soul Masters without combat ability, but that's fine. Once I get my Soul Rings, I'll protect you. And you can just call me 'Fatty.'"

Little fatty Ma Hongjun seemed naturally cheerful. Even though the Evil Fire eruption earlier nearly killed him, he immediately approached to make friends as soon as he recovered.

Looking at his smiling, chubby face up close, it was actually quite comical and made him easy to like. Oscar, as the older brother, took it upon himself to introduce them:

"My name is Oscar. I'm the older brother. Martial Soul: Sausage, Level 20, First-Ring Soul Master. This is Aos Qin, the younger brother. Martial Soul: Hamburger, also a Level 20, First-Ring Soul Master."

After Oscar finished, Aos Qin added:

"We aren't far apart in age. There are only the three of us in the academy, so it's better to be close. You can call me 'Big Ao' and me 'Little Ao.' We'll call you 'Fatty.'

Also, my eyes are blue, Big Ao's are dark brown. That way you can tell us apart."

Neither Oscar nor Aos Qin mentioned Ma Hongjun's earlier comment about protecting them. The newcomer didn't understand the power of Soul Guidance Devices — this would be a lesson for later.

With the three now acquainted, the impatient Zhao Wuji spoke:

"Alright, little brats, you've met your partners. There's plenty of time for that later. Now, show us the Soul Guidance Device that made us all come here."

Ignoring Ma Hongjun's puzzled look about what a Soul Guidance Device was, Oscar led the teachers to the training field, while Aos Qin pulled along Ma Hongjun, who hadn't reacted yet.

Once at the field, Oscar stood at a corner and took off his backpack. The contents were heavy, and it was better to let them drop from the Storage Soul Guidance Device rather than try to catch them.

With Soul Power infused, everyone heard a "bang" as dust and debris scattered from the impact — clearly a heavy object had fallen. Aos Qin patted Cohen's head, and the latter controlled the wind element to blow the dust away, revealing the massive railgun base on the ground.

Aos Qin then helped Oscar. The two focused their Soul Power to lift a three-meter-long railgun barrel from the storage backpack and carefully placed it on the base. Oscar then set up the front triangular supports. Only after that was the railgun fully assembled.

Aos Qin retrieved a round, solid metal shell from the storage backpack, loaded it into the barrel, and with a "whoosh," the railgun was ready. He and Oscar then approached the teachers.

"Teachers, this Soul Guidance Device is called a Railgun. After making it, we only knew it could operate normally. We didn't test it before because its theoretical range is extremely far.

Now, we want Teacher Zhao to stand as far as possible and catch the attack it fires to evaluate its offensive power."

Saying this, Aos Qin glanced at Zhao Wuji with an apologetic smile.

Whether this smile was truly "apologetic" or "mischievous" — only he knew. Oscar and Aos Qin were not linked via the Soul Connection at the moment.

Zhao Wuji chuckled:

"Alright, you two little brats are using old Zhao as a guinea pig, huh? Fine, I'll satisfy you. Let's see what this giant device can do."

He walked far into the distance, beyond the edge of the training field, until he was barely visible. The distance looked to be over a kilometer.

As the situation grew more interesting, everyone focused their attention and gathered beside the railgun to see how Oscar and Aos Qin would attack the distant Zhao Wuji.

Once Zhao Wuji was ready, Aos Qin turned on the railgun's Soul Guidance display and switched to magnification mode. The distant image was instantly zoomed in and locked onto Zhao Wuji as the target. The railgun barrel automatically adjusted its aim.

One second later, adjustment completed. The milk-bottle-shaped Soul Guidance Device on the base began charging the railgun. Electricity crackled, and three seconds later, with a "bang," the shell was fired.

Flander let out a surprised "eh?" His eyes had failed to track the shell, and if he wasn't mistaken, the sound came after the shell left the barrel. But there was no time to think.

From the distance came Zhao Wuji's roar. On the Soul Guidance display, everyone could see the shell almost instantaneously reach Zhao Wuji. If he hadn't been prepared, that shot would have dealt him a real hit.

Fortunately, the battle-experienced Zhao Wuji raised a Soul Guidance shield at the last moment, emitting a strong Soul Power light and activating his Martial Soul. He grew taller and stronger, seven optimally-matched Soul Rings flashing.

The attack seemed stopped, but the shell didn't lose momentum and kept pressing against the energy-protected shield. Judging from the indentation on the energy shield, it was blocking with great effort.

The standoff lasted for two seconds until the shell suddenly shook and exploded. The blast shook the Soul Guidance display, obscuring vision with dust, followed by Zhao Wuji's angry shout.

When the dust cleared, everyone saw that the energy shield had been breached. Zhao Wuji himself showed no obvious injuries, but his first, third, and fifth Soul Rings were glowing prominently.

Clearly, the attack had enough power to penetrate a Soul Guidance Device and threaten the target's body. Otherwise, Zhao Wuji wouldn't have needed to release three Soul Skills at once. His clothes were unharmed, but considering the Soul Rings' power comparison, this result was enough to astonish everyone.

While everyone else was still processing, Zhao Wuji retracted his Martial Soul and sped over with his accelerator.

"Goodness, if I hadn't reacted fast, I would've taken some real damage. If a Soul King were here without defense, this thing would've gone right through. Even with my shield, taking it without harm would've required two more Soul Skills."

His words brought everyone back to reality. Aos Qin and Oscar, as creators, hadn't expected the railgun to be so powerful.

As for little fatty Ma Hongjun, he quietly swallowed and muttered to himself:

"I definitely didn't say anything about protecting those two…"
