Chapter 324 - Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [324]
Looking at Dai Mubai in this state, Zhu Zhuqing finally gave up hope. She didn't insist on joining Shrek Academy but instead left, disheartened, bidding farewell to Zhao Wuji and Shao Xin. She staggered as she walked toward Souto City.
Zhao Wuji and Shao Xin could do nothing about this.
After all, in this world, connections and backgrounds matter. They were well aware of the origin of the Hell Spirit Cat martial soul. Even though Zhu Zhuqing was just one person, if something were to happen, no one could predict the consequences, especially since the prince with the White Tiger martial soul, Dai Mubai, had injured someone from the Zhu family, who possessed the Hell Spirit Cat martial soul.
After a chaotic half-day, this year's enrollment for Shrek Academy was concluded.
However, unlike the original story where talents gathered, this time, only Tang San and Xiao Wu were admitted. At first glance, it might not seem like much, but in reality, it was akin to cutting off two vital supports. This would undoubtedly have a significant impact on Tang San's future growth.
And where was Chen Ming at this moment?
He had already returned to Souto City with Ning Rongrong and Little Wu and was enjoying a meal at a tavern owned by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
Souto City, being far from a small town, naturally had industries belonging to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. After Ning Rongrong revealed her identity, the steward of the clan in this location respectfully arranged for the group to dine in the best private room of the tavern. Fine wine and delicacies were being prepared without a word needing to be said.
While waiting for the food to be served, Ning Rongrong and Little Wu chatted with Chen Ming, mainly to inquire about what he had been up to in recent years and how he had reached the level of a Soul King at just fifteen years old.
However, Ning Rongrong, now in a serious state of mind, was tactful. When Chen Ming subtly avoided certain topics, she didn't press further. After asking what her status required her to ask, the conversation shifted to casual chatter.
The main topic of conversation? Complaints about Shrek Academy.
"I had nothing to do at home and decided to sneak out without telling my father. I'd heard from him that this Shrek Academy was interesting and wanted to check it out. But I didn't expect it to be such a place. Even my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan isn't this overbearing!"
"If I weren't a support-type soul master without offensive capabilities, I'd have punched that Tang San and that Xiao Wu by his side! They dared to try and humiliate me! Even my father has never treated me like that!"
Ning Rongrong slammed her hand on the table as she vented her frustrations. On the side, Little Wu, dressed in a maid outfit, covered her face helplessly, awkwardly looking at Chen Ming, hoping he wouldn't take Ning Rongrong's rant too seriously.
As for the soul masters who had been tasked by Ning Fengzhi to secretly follow and handle Ning Rongrong's affairs? They were already preparing to write a letter to the clan leader, asking how to deal with this Shrek Academy!
When Chen Ming heard that Ning Rongrong had learned about Shrek from Ning Fengzhi, he remained calm on the surface but made another mental note about this sly old fox. Then, under Ning Rongrong's confused gaze, he took out a soul-guided ray gun and a shield-shaped soul tool from his Hundred Treasures Pouch.
"This is a soul-guided ray gun and a shield soul tool. Both are classified as Tier 3 soul tools. They are designed for soul masters at the Soul Elder level. With your current cultivation of 27th rank as a Soul Grandmaster, you can barely use them as long as you don't use them too frequently."
"This is the soul-guided ray gun," Chen Ming said as he handed the ray gun to Ning Rongrong. "First, turn on this switch to activate part of its internal formation. Then, you can inject soul power into it through the handle here. Once it reaches a certain level, the gemstones on the gun's body will light up."

"This gun has three gemstones, and each lit gemstone represents one shot. However, due to structural limitations, soul tools can only store soul power for a short time. After injecting soul power, it will begin to dissipate, so you can't charge it in advance and use it later. You'll need to prepare during or right before a battle."
"This tool has a fire attribute. Its attack takes the form of a penetrating beam, capable of breaking through the defensive soul power of normal Soul Elders or even Soul Ancestors. A defense-type Soul Grandmaster would find their soul skills pierced through even with two defensive soul skills active."
"I'll guide you on how to use it later. While this tool is difficult to manufacture, it's easy to use. With your talent, you should be able to learn quickly."
"Huh?" Listening to Chen Ming's explanation of the ray gun soul tool, Ning Rongrong's mouth fell open in disbelief.
After awkwardly holding the ray gun in front of her, Ning Rongrong watched as Chen Ming took out the shield-shaped soul tool and continued his explanation.
"This is also a soul tool, but it's a defensive-type, also Tier 3. Shield soul tools are divided into two types: manually activated and automatically triggered. The one I'm giving you is the automatic kind."
"The defensive power of a shield soul guide is generally one level higher than its tier. For the best-quality ones, it can even be two levels higher. In theory, a Tier 1 shield soul guide can block a Soul Elder's attack. The one I'm giving you is Tier 3, capable of withstanding a full-power attack from a Soul King. However, after that, it will be nearly destroyed."
"However, shield soul guides consume a lot of energy. With your current soul power, you might only be able to activate it once. Xiao Wu can demonstrate it for you later."
"These... these are all soul tools?" Ning Rongrong asked in disbelief as she tried to inject her soul power into the shield soul guide. No matter how much she tried, she couldn't fill it, let alone activate it. She stared at Chen Ming with wide eyes.
"I thought soul tools were only for storage!"
"No, storage soul tools are just one type. Soul tools are very versatile. Common categories include offensive, defensive, and amplifying tools. Some top-tier soul tools have even stronger and more magical effects."
"For example, there's a special type of defensive soul tool called the Invincible Golden Body soul tool or the Invincible Shield soul tool. The lowest tier is Tier 5, requiring rare materials and precious soul beast bones to craft. The core component is a nearly extinct special crystal. The manufacturing process is extremely complex, and it can only be used once."
"But this type of soul tool is incredibly powerful. As the name suggests, a Tier 5 Invincible Shield soul tool can withstand a Soul Douluo's attacks for three seconds. A Tier 6 one can even resist a Title Douluo's attacks for three seconds."
"There's such a thing in the world? Trading such an extreme cost for near-invincible defense?" Ning Rongrong, though proud, wasn't foolish. After hearing Chen Ming's explanation of the two soul tools, she immediately realized something.
These soul-guided ray guns and shields were practically tailor-made for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, a clan of auxiliary-type soul masters!
