"But it doesn't matter anymore. I already know the precise attack system of this battle armor. Now I need to test the heavy firepower coverage attack mode."
As his thoughts raced, the excitement in Oschin's eyes intensified. The battle armor transformed in an instant. The previously bulging shoulder armor returned to its original shape, but the left arm armor swelled up completely.
Raising his arm, eight menacing gun barrels and the plasma cannon muzzle in his palm began to slowly rotate.
A second, perhaps less. Oschin's entire left arm turned a bluish-purple color, arcs of electricity crackling and buzzing. A barrage of fire, composed of blue-white plasma and silver-white bullet rays, enveloped a hundred meters in front of Oschin. Those soul-guided fleas, charging towards Oschin according to pre-set instructions, were all reduced to smoking metal fragments within this barrage.
Silently sensing the depletion of his soul power, Oschin stopped the heavy firepower equipment on his left arm battle armor when his soul power was reduced to only 30%.
Looking at the ravaged forest before him, the smile on Oschin's lips became even more pronounced. Indeed, this kind of heavy firepower capable of tearing apart any obstacle was the romance that a soul master should pursue.
Turning the detection soul tool on his battle armor to maximum power, several small red dots representing "enemies" quickly appeared on Oschin's eyepiece.
"Tsk, using a heavy machine gun to kill a swarm of mosquitoes is satisfying, but it's inevitable that small oversights will occur. In order to avoid causing unpredictable damage to students who might appear in this area, I'd better go and clear them out."
Muttering to himself, Oschin continued walking towards the location marked by the detection soul tool. As he moved, the ferocious left arm battle armor silently returned to its original form, while a crimson light flashed on the right arm battle armor.
When Oschin stopped beside the first Soul-Guided Flea, its power system destroyed and lying paralyzed on the ground, a dark red lava Tang sword, about 1.2 meters long, appeared in his right hand. With a slight flick of his wrist, the sword sliced through, and the Soul-Guided Flea turned into a small pile of metal fragments in a puff of blue smoke.
Wandering around and cleaning up, Oschin arrived at the spot where the initial silver-white cube had landed. Ten minutes had passed. Looking at the metal box on the ground, now beyond salvage, a belated pang of heartache surged through Oschin's brain.
"Ah, these heat-sensitive explosive Soul-Guided Fleas cost me a full fifty gold soul coins and a whole week! I must have lost my mind! Wouldn't it have been better to find free human sparring partners to test the power of my battle armor? Why did I have to use a Soul-Guided Device for testing?! Ah! Ah!"
While Oschin was questioning what was wrong with his brain, six figures with twitching lips appeared where Oschin had stood.
"Is this the power of a soul tool?" The only woman among the six could hardly believe her eyes. Oschin was only a Soul Master, but look at this forest! Not only were the branches and leaves gone, but the trunks were riddled with tiny, translucent holes. And then there were those trees, still emitting white smoke, completely collapsed.
These were all old trees over fifty years old, their trunks so thick a person couldn't wrap their arms around them. In less than three minutes, they'd been reduced to this wretched state. Was this something a Soul Master should be doing? Try aiming this kind of attack at a Soul King in their fifties; it would be a miracle if they fared well. With bad luck, they might even lose their lives.
"Ahem, Erlong, Xiao Ao's ability to create such destruction using a soul tool must be a special case.
The armor he's wearing isn't the same as the mecha Lao Shao used before. Besides, I think that kid probably used up all his soul power to achieve that.
You can't take that kid's fighting style as a regular combat method using soul tools."
After hearing Flander's explanation, Liu Erlong's expression returned to normal. If this was just an explosive tactic, then it was understandable. These days, which talented soul master doesn't prepare a final trump card?
However, the academy teachers, including Flander, Liu Erlong, and Shao Xin, didn't know that while the heavy firepower coverage mode was indeed a killer move mastered by Oschin, this seemingly un-soul master-like attack mode was actually the least cost-effective of all the killer moves Oschin possessed.
If it really came down to a life-or-death situation, Oschin would choose methods that consumed less soul power but had greater destructive power. For example, a fixed soul tool that burned gold soul coins.
Turning the perspective back to Oschin, having completed his task of checking and repairing while still feeling an overwhelming sense of heartache, Oschin stood there, unsure whether he should leave the forest.
There was no way around it; the detection results from his soul tool were clearly displayed on his eyepiece. As a student, having just caused a major disturbance in the academy's property, and now the six strongest teachers in the academy had appeared where he had just damaged the facilities—who wouldn't panic?
However, Oschin didn't linger there for long. He had already spotted the teachers; how could they not know what he was doing?
"Alright, kid, it's just a forest. It'll recover naturally in a while. Get over here now!" Noticing Oschin's hesitation to approach, Zhao Wuji shouted, urging him to hurry up.
"Greetings, teachers. I finally finished making the complete battle armor and was eager to test its power. I didn't expect to disturb you all; I'm truly sorry."
Upon hearing Zhao Wuji's summons, Oschin quickly activated the propulsion soul tool behind him, arriving before the teachers in just one second. However, Flander and the others clearly had no interest in listening to Oschin's words; their attention was entirely drawn to the starry blue armor he wore. The armor was currently disintegrating into six parts right before their eyes, flowing into Oschin's body like liquid.
"This is the complete battle armor." If Flander and the others showed a hint of admiration in their eyes, then Liu Erlong's eyes revealed utter shock.
