Chapter 15 Shock
"Teacher Long."

Chen Zhou stood in the teaching office of the intermediate department of Donghai College, looking at a familiar figure with a puzzled look on his face as he lowered his head and left.

That person seems to be Tang Wulin?
"Enter."

Chen Zhou, having received permission, shook his head. It was his principle to mind his own business. He adjusted his expression and clothes, then pushed the door open and walked in.

In the teaching department, Long Hengxu was sitting at his desk, holding a document in his hand, his brow furrowed, as if he was thinking about something. Seeing Chen Zhou come in, he raised his head, and the slightly gloomy expression on his face relaxed a lot.

"Xiaozhou, what's wrong?"

With the guarantee of his former junior sister, coupled with his excellent academic performance at junior college, Long Hengxu had a special trust and expectation in Chen Zhou. He put down the documents in his hand, motioned for Chen Zhou to sit down, and even relaxed his mood. He picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip, looking at Chen Zhou with a gentle gaze.

Chen Zhou nodded slightly and sat down in the chair in front of his desk, his expression respectful yet calm. He knew that although Long Hengxu appeared serious on the surface, he had always been very caring towards him. This time, he came to see him because of an important matter.

"Teacher Long, I want to rent a room outside the academy, so I came to you specifically to get your signature."

Chen Zhou spoke straight to the point, with a hint of sincerity in his tone.

"puff!"

"what?!"

Fortunately, Long Hengxu only took a light sip, not much splashing out, but it was clear that Chen Zhou's words had taken him by surprise. He put down the cup, his brow furrowed again, a look of confusion and seriousness in his eyes.

"Xiaozhou, what do you mean? Doesn't the academy have dormitories? Why do you suddenly want to move out?"

Long Hengxu's voice was filled with anxiety and worry. He couldn't understand why such an outstanding student like Chen Zhou would suddenly ask to move out of the college dormitory. After all, the dormitory conditions at Donghai College were among the best in the entire city. Not only were they fully equipped, but they were also extremely safe and fully capable of meeting the daily needs of students.

Chen Zhou lowered his head slightly, as if considering how to respond. After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Long Hengxu with a firm gaze. His tone was calm but carried a hint of unquestionable determination.

"Teacher Long, I know the dormitory conditions at the college are very good, but I have some personal reasons and need to move out. I won't tell you the specific reasons, but please sign this for me."

Long Hengxu: What the hell?

"Xiaozhou, what do you mean you won't tell me the specific reason?"

Long Hengxu closed his eyes weakly, and stretched out his hand to gently massage and relax the sadness between his brows.

"We just sent away a few kids who got into a fight at the start of the school year, and now here comes another one who doesn't want to stay overnight."

"What happened to this year's Donghai College?"

Long Hengxu sighed, put down the water cup in his hand, and looked back at Chen Zhou. He tried to read something from Chen Zhou's expression, but Chen Zhou's face remained calm, even with a hint of alienation.

This made Long Hengxu feel a little helpless, but he also knew that in the report sent by Lin Ximeng, Chen Zhou had always been a student with his own opinions. Since he made such a request, he must have his reasons.

"Xiaozhou, you are a smart child, and I have always trusted you."

Long Hengxu spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of admonition, "But you have to understand that the academy's regulations are designed to protect the students' safety and learning environment. If you don't have a good reason, I can't easily agree to your moving out."

Chen Zhou nodded slightly, as if he had anticipated Long Hengxu's words. He was silent for a moment, then raised his head, his gaze firm. "Teacher Long, I understand your concerns. But I can assure you that moving out won't affect my studies or my life. On the contrary, I believe it will be of greater benefit to my personal growth and development."

Long Hengxu frowned, clearly dissatisfied with Chen Zhou's answer. He pondered for a moment, then said, "Xiaozhou, if you truly have something to hide, please tell me. As your teacher, I will do my best to help you resolve the issue. But if you simply want to move out, I'm afraid I can't agree."

Chen Zhou's eyes flickered with hesitation when he heard this. He lowered his head, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, he raised his head again, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Teacher Long, actually... I moved out to study soul guides." Long Hengxu: Are you crazy or am I crazy?

Long Hengxu stared at the boy in front of him in a daze. His young face looked serious and solemn at the moment, but there was a special kind of humor in it.

"Xiaozhou, you are only nine years old. If you are just looking for an excuse to fool me, you might as well find a reason that seems more suitable for your age."

Long Hengxu's words startled Chen Zhou for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He knew his reasoning did sound a bit outrageous, especially for a nine-year-old. However, he had no intention of backing down.

"Well, seeing is believing. Teacher Long, please take a look."

Chen Zhou stretched out his hand with the storage soul guide ring and gently tapped it on the table beside him.

A strange small gun-shaped soul guide appeared on the table.

"This is a portable cannon I developed. It can be used in combat for ordinary people, and it can also be used to mount external weapons on mechas."

"As long as it's paired with the right energy source, this small machine gun can continuously release offensive energy shells comparable to those of a Great Spirit Master."

As he spoke, Chen Zhou placed his hand on the loading adapter at the rear end of the small machine gun.

"Crack!"

As if by automatic recognition, the rear end of the small machine gun quickly engaged Chen Zhou's palm, emitting a crisp mechanical sound. Immediately afterwards, a faint layer of soul power fluctuations appeared on the surface of the machine gun, clearly entering a state of readiness.

Long Hengxu's pupils narrowed slightly, and his expression gradually changed from initial confusion to shock. Although he was not an expert in the field of soul guides, as the Dean of Studies at Donghai College, he did have some understanding of the basics of soul guides.

The design and structure of this small machine gun in front of us is not uncommon in the Sun-Moon Federation. After all, both standard mechas and military equipment of the Sun-Moon Federation have similar combat equipment.
But what does “as long as it is matched with the right energy source” mean?
This means that as long as there is a suitable energy source, ordinary people can also launch!

"This...did you research this on your own?"

There was a hint of disbelief in Long Hengxu's voice.

Chen Zhou shook his head and explained, "No, this is something one of my uncles taught me."

"At that time, my talent was valued by a senior, so he sent an uncle to teach me the basics of soul guides."

“This is just a product I imitated.”

This is a lie!

There is not a single true lie.

But Long Hengxu believed it!
no way!
Or he believed that a person without any support from elders could create a new track for armed soul guides through personal efforts alone.

Or he believed that there was a senior with considerable strength and superb soul guidance skills who took a fancy to Chen Zhou's talent and accepted him as a disciple.

The choice of which one to believe is self-evident.

Long Hengxu stared at Chen Zhou seriously, his eyes so deep that he seemed to be trying to see through Chen Zhou's thoughts. However, Chen Zhou's expression remained calm, even with a hint of composure.
