Chapter 52: Knowing This Was an Accident

Looking at the four shameless people before him, Su Yu ultimately bowed his head to the forces of evil.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the four, he took a step and headed toward the cafeteria...

After Su Yu left, the group finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you think we went a bit too far this time? After all, Ji Juechen is a Level 5 Soul King..."

The four huddled together, and Keke spoke up first; recalling the disheveled state Su Yu was in when he returned, she was naturally a bit worried.

Just then, someone's Engraving Knife fell to the ground, and everyone jumped in fright.

"Uh, I just dropped my Engraving Knife. I'd say you guys are overreacting..." Zi Mu looked at the three who had reacted so intensely and picked up the Engraving Knife from the floor with a helpless expression.

However, the look on Wang Shaojie's face was not very natural. "It seems we really went too far this time. Even if Ji Juechen suppressed his strength, Junior Brother Luo Yu couldn't possibly be his match. So what should we do? Are we just going to let it go like this?"

His words couldn't help but make the group fall into deep thought. Joking around wasn't excessive, but this time they had really played it big. Looking at the mess outside the window, the open space that had nearly become ruins, all four of them began to imagine the scene from back then.

"Ah, this..."

Zi Mu looked stunned, staring at the vast stretches of ruins, his eyes widening involuntarily.

Ju Zi gave a bitter smile and said, "To be honest, I don't know what happened, but I can only say that it's a stroke of luck that Luo Yu was able to come back alive."

"Hm? Is it really that serious?" Keke looked at Ju Zi with some terror.

There was still the residual Sword Intent of Ji Juechen on the field. Feeling the powerful lingering Sword Intent, the expressions of the group could not help but turn unnatural.

The four frowned slightly, wanting to say something, but they helplessly turned and returned to the laboratory.

"Wang Shaojie, if anything happens to Junior Brother Luo Yu, I'm not done with you! If something happens to him, who's going to cook for me!"

A Soul Guidance Cannon with an astonishingly large caliber appeared directly in front of Wang Shaojie. Looking at Keke holding the cannon, cold sweat began to bead on Wang Shaojie's forehead.

"How was I supposed to know something like this would happen? Who knew that I was just making a joke and that madman would actually go? Don't just talk about me, count every one of you—this rotten idea was something all four of us discussed together. Zi Mu, what are you hiding for!"

Dragging out Zi Mu, who had silently slipped into a corner, Wang Shaojie felt a bit indignant. It was agreed that everyone would shoulder it together, but you lot are instead pointing fingers at me.

Just as the atmosphere began to grow tense, Ju Zi slowly stood up and said, "Enough. Since Junior Brother Luo Yu is fine, it wasn't as serious as we imagined. Just don't do such stupid things in the future. Junior Brother Luo Yu will be back soon."

Ju Zi's words caused the four to scatter in a flurry. They returned to their respective posts, but their hearts remained immersed in the chaotic scene on the plaza earlier and that powerful residual Sword Intent.

Not long after, Su Yu returned to the laboratory and began today's lesson.

Xuan Ziwen glanced at the group and then slowly said, "Today, we are going to learn how to engrave a new Level 3 Soul Guidance Core Array..."

After Xuan Ziwen's explanation, everyone began to try engraving the core array on their own laboratory tables.

"Teacher Xuan, why don't you demonstrate it for us? There are some parts I still don't understand. I hope you can demonstrate it yourself, Teacher, so we can understand it better, right?"

Looking at the complex array before him, Su Yu only felt his head swelling. He really didn't know how they had developed such complicated things. It was clearly a path of technology, yet the complexity of this thing was no different from a circuit board.

The energy of a circuit board comes from electricity, but the energy of a Soul Guidance Array comes from soul power. In principle, the two actually have similarities, but Su Yu was not one of those invincible protagonists from the web novel orphanage, nor was he a peerless genius who was nothing before transmigrating and mastered all Blue Star technology after.

A ten-thousand-foot tower rises from the ground; glory can only be relied upon by oneself...

Xuan Ziwen didn't feel there was anything wrong with Su Yu's words. After all, as a Level 7 Soul Engineer, engraving a Level 3 array was a piece of cake for him. For this reason, Su Yu even specifically requested that Xuan Ziwen engrave it slowly so that it would be beneficial for their learning.

Little did they know, Xuan Ziwen had long been led astray by Su Yu. Just as everyone was staring intently at Xuan Ziwen, Su Yu's Mirror Martial Soul appeared silently.

First Spirit Skill, Mirror Reflection!

Xuan Ziwen's figure appeared in the mirror. Every movement of Xuan Ziwen, the magnitude of his force, and the speed of his blade were all completely replicated by Su Yu.

Because Xuan Ziwen deliberately slowed down his speed, Su Yu was able to replicate and feel it at the same time, which could be considered a deeper understanding.

"Alright, this is the final appearance of this array. When you are engraving a Soul Guidance Array, you must pay attention to controlling the output of soul power. Otherwise, once a mistake occurs, the entire Soul Guidance Array will instantly collapse, understand?"

It must be said that Xuan Ziwen's teaching was quite distinctive. Whether it was the initial explanation or the later demonstration, it really wasn't something the pitiful Soul Guidance Department at Shrek could compare to.

There is no harm without comparison. In terms of Soul Guidance Devices, Shrek really didn't lose unjustly.

When Su Yu picked up the Engraving Knife, the effect of his First Spirit Skill manifested. Staring at this piece of metal, Su Yu began to engrave slowly.

The first attempt, when it was half engraved, the array collapsed...

The second time, it collapsed again...

The third time, Su Yu collapsed...

…………

Su Yu's body had not yet reached a state of complete control. After successive failures, Su Yu almost drove himself to despair.

After more than ten attempts back and forth, Su Yu finally engraved the array as he had wished. Looking at the golden light that lit up, Su Yu couldn't help but raise the metal in joy.

"Teacher, I succeeded!"

Watching the array begin to flicker from time to time, Xuan Ziwen's brows furrowed slightly.

"Luo Yu, wait!"

"What?"

A harsh sound rang out. The array in Su Yu's hand was still flickering, and finally, a striking red light appeared.

Damn it, don't, I finally managed to make it, big brother don't explode...

Xuan Ziwen waved his large hand, and several small Soul Guidance Protective Barriers protected the few of them within. However, Su Yu, who was holding the metal, was not so lucky.

Following a harsh sound, the Soul Guidance Array exploded with a bang as expected.

A flash of light appeared, and the group finally regained their vision...
