Oschin, perched on the roof of his dormitory, was inspecting the 1.5-meter-long silver-white sniper rifle in his hands. Just moments ago, this Gauss sniper rifle, which Oschin had spent three days crafting, had completed its first live-fire test.
After unloading the remaining custom-made bullet from the magazine, Oschin, channeling his soul power, began inspecting the weapon. His first check was for any structural damage from firing the bullet.
This step focused on the state of the electromagnetic coils inside the barrel used to accelerate the projectile. Through his soul power, Oschin could confirm that the coils etched into the barrel were still clearly visible and intact, showing no signs of wear. Furthermore, the flow of his soul power was smooth and uninterrupted.
Nodding slightly, Oschin pressed the earpiece-type soul tool on his ear and said, "Teacher, the sniper rifle is fine. Next, I'm going to use non-physical bullets formed from soul power to attack."
"Hmm, everything's fine on my end. Focus on aiming."
Huff---, Oschin, his eyes fixed on the scope of the Gauss sniper rifle, had completely calmed himself down. Even his heart rate was deliberately suppressed to an extremely low level.
Although the sniper rifle in his hand was a Gauss weapon and he didn't need to worry about recoil, because his target was 1.7 kilometers away, Oschin had to ensure absolute stability of the muzzle when firing. A distance of nearly two kilometers was enough to cause even a small initial deviation to become a complete miss.
Previously, when using bullets inscribed with runes, the Gauss sniper rifle in his hand had already proven its power. Now, although it had switched to a beam attack condensed from soul power, in this clear weather, the shooting range and power of a beam attack might actually exceed that of a physical bullet attack. Oschin didn't want his hand to tremble and cause the attack to miss the target, resulting in any unfortunate friendly fire.
After confirming that the muzzle was aimed at the target soul-guided shield on the playground, Oschin pulled the trigger, activating the soul power supply device in the Gauss sniper rifle.
After a brief and slight electrical sound, an orange-red beam of light suddenly shot out from the muzzle. Oschin, whose eyes hadn't left the scope, saw that this orange-red beam of light arrived at the target soul-guided shield almost instantly upon activation. The orange-red and light blue colors intersected. Unlike the previous attack using corpse bullets, the orange-red beam of light didn't shatter the soul-guided shield completely but pierced through it, leaving a small hole in the sky-blue shield. The small hole didn't destroy the entire structure of the soul-guided shield. With the supply of soul power, the shield returned to its original state in the blink of an eye.
"Phew, the high penetration and cutting power of laser-type weapons, huh? Although it's not as visually stunning as a projectile attack, the actual attack effect is still no problem. It's quite remarkable that an offensive soul-guided device with a manufacturing level barely reaching level five can break through the defense of a level six defensive soul-guided device."
After checking that the Gauss sniper rifle in his hand hadn't malfunctioned from the attack, Oschin turned off the soul power supply device on the stock of the sniper rifle.
"Teacher, the attack test is over. I'm coming over now."
"Okay, I'll wait for you here."
Oschin removed his headset to end the communication, first storing the silver-white Gauss sniper rifle into his storage soul-guided device. Then, without standing up, he used the powerful physique of a soul master to push off the roof with his hands and pounced directly from a prone position onto the ground without any hesitation. After a smooth forward roll to dissipate the force, Oschin quickly activated the acceleration soul tool on his back and rushed towards the training ground.
When Oschin arrived at the training ground, Shao Xin had already deactivated the soul tool shield he had set up to test the power of the soul tool and was waiting for him in a shady spot.
Watching the handsome young man rushing towards him at high speed, a slight smile unconsciously appeared on Shao Xin's lips. He was extremely satisfied with his disciple; not only was he exceptionally talented, but he also knew how to persevere and work hard. Most importantly, he was composed enough to always know what he should do.
"Teacher, could you please come and help me test the attack power of this soul tool?"
"I am your teacher. Although I can't offer you much effective help in soul tool creation, isn't it only right that I help you with testing the power of a soul tool?
This electromagnetic soul tool you brought out this time is different from that big one before; its practical value in combat is already extremely high.
Judging from the test results just now, a Soul Emperor-level Soul Master, unless particularly skilled in defense, would at least be seriously injured if suddenly attacked by this soul tool. For Soul Masters below the Soul Emperor level, being hit by this level of attack is basically an end to the battle. You are already very skilled at using long-range attack soul tools; with this Gauss sniper rifle, your attack power ceiling will be greatly increased. Given enough distance, your combat power is no less than that of a Soul King-level Soul Master."
"You can't calculate combat power like that, teacher. No matter what, I'm just a Soul Master at the Soul Venerable level. Even with a powerful Soul Tool as an aid, the gap between me and a Soul King is enormous.
My only chance to defeat a Soul King is to ambush him before he can react. If that fails, the wisest choice is to run as fast as possible. I don't think a mere Soul Venerable like me can withstand a Soul King's attacks for long."
"Alright, I know you're cautious enough not to fight recklessly, which is why I'm so direct in my assessment of this Gauss sniper rifle. If it were Oscar or Ma Hongjun, I definitely wouldn't have said that.
There are still about two months left in the holiday; can you break through your Soul Power level?"
"It shouldn't be a problem. My current Soul Power is already at the late stage of level 37. As long as I don't slack off, breaking through to level 38 in about two months should be more than enough.
Has anyone in the academy broken through?"
