Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 402 The Battle Ends: The Victor's Prestige
"Uncle Long, what exactly happened just now? Did you understand it?" Zhongli Wu asked in confusion.

Long Xiaoyao speculated, "If I'm not mistaken, the fragment that just appeared in Yuwentuo's soul should be a fragment of some divine artifact. It reshaped Yuwentuo into a stronger physical body. I never expected that Yuwentuo would have such an opportunity. From now on, his flesh and blood will have no connection with the Star Luo Empire or the Sun Moon Empire."

"Long Xiaoyao, you truly deserve to be called one of the Limit Douluos of this era; you have some insight," Yuwentuo praised. "Just wait, soon your Holy Spirit Sect will be destroyed by the sword of my true body. Let's end it here for today." Yuwentuo walked up to Du Busi and said, "Sect Master, please give the order!"

"You little rascal, you really scared the old man to death just now. Luckily you're alright," Poisonous Undying complained. "Alright, all you members of the Body Sect, you've had your fun today, haven't you? Come home with me!"

Continuing the war against the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult now certainly offers a high chance of victory, but if we launch a full-scale attack, our own losses will inevitably be severe.

After all, not only were powerful figures like Long Xiaoyao, Zhongli Wu, and Feng Ling present, but also Kong Deming, Ye Yulin, the leader of the Guardian Hand Soul Master Corps, and a group of level nine Soul Masters, with Ye Xishui also lurking in the shadows.

Yuwen Tuo wanted revenge, but he wouldn't let his brothers sacrifice their lives to help him. This new body had unlimited potential. If he could hunt for a spirit ring now, he could become a Soul Douluo, and becoming a Title Douluo would be just around the corner.

Today, the Sun Moon Empire has suffered heavy losses in terms of Soul Masters, but because Yuwen Tuo deliberately allowed Xiao Xiao and the others to leave behind a small portion of the warehouse's resources, the preservation of Soul Guidance Cannons has surpassed the original story.

If the Sun Moon Empire can settle down for a few years and cultivate another batch of level four or five Soul Masters, it won't be a problem to surpass the original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent, let alone restore its peak strength.

However, this would inevitably postpone the continental war that was originally scheduled to take place for several years, which was exactly what Yuwen Tuo wanted to achieve.

He will use this time to break through to the Title Douluo level.

"All of you from Guigu, follow me! Let's see who dares to chase us!" Yuwen Tuo waved his hand and strode forward, with Xiao Xiao, Ling Luochen, and Qiu'er following behind him.

Then Cao Jinxuan, Lian Yue, and Jiang Peng followed.

Meanwhile, Vina and Long Aotian led the disciples of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Body Sect on the other side. Although they also had identities with the Ghost Valley, their more important identities were still the imperial princess and the young sect master of the Body Sect.

"Wait—" Just then, Xu Tianzhen finally couldn't hold back any longer. She stepped forward, opened her arms, and stood in front of Yuwen Tuo, asking with teary eyes, "Can I still call you my brother from now on?"

She knew that Yuwen Tuo had just returned his bones to his father and his flesh to his mother, severing their blood ties. But for the past few days, she had genuinely treated Yuwen Tuo as her younger brother.

Yuwen Tuo retorted, "I've caused your Sun Moon Empire so much suffering, don't you hate me?"

Xu Tianzhen shook her head. "I don't hate him. It's only natural for you to resist when the Crown Prince plotted to ambush you. He also killed your entire family. It's only right for you to take revenge on him. On the contrary, I'm very grateful that you're willing to give up today and spare our Sun Moon Empire."

Yuwen Tuo was stunned. He hadn't expected that this princess, who seemed so carefree, was actually so sensible.

He thought she would break off all ties with him because he had completely ruined Xu Tianran.

"Call me whatever you want. My relationships with people are not based on blood ties," Yuwen Tuo said.

Xu Tianzhen immediately burst into laughter through her tears, "Thank you, little brother!"

Yuwen Tuo smiled slightly, "Take care, and we'll meet again someday."

After saying this, he led everyone away from the Sun and Moon Palace. Although Tianyang Douluo and Xingguan Douluo were unwilling, they understood that if the Body Sect didn't intervene, they wouldn't gain any advantage even if they wanted to fight.

Moreover, they couldn't really force the Body Sect and Yuwen Tuo, because without them, all the elite disciples from various countries would have been captured or killed by Xu Tianran.

This time, they owe the Body Sect a huge favor.

All the major forces successfully withdrew from the east gate of Mingdu, except for Shrek Academy, which was still foolishly running westward. They should be heading into the Qiankun Dog Training and Love Valley by now.

However, that was none of Yuwen Tuo's business; he had no desire to go to that godforsaken place.

His top priority now is to absorb the eighth ring and break through to the Soul Douluo level. Although this body has unlimited potential, potential is not the same as strength. As long as he is not strong enough to break the limits of the world, he must act in accordance with the rules of the world.

Moreover, after breaking through to the eighth ring, he has another very important thing to do.

His next target is not evil spirit masters, nor the Sun Moon Empire, but Shrek Academy.

He wants to personally erase Shrek from the continent!
The primary reason was naturally to avenge himself, while the secondary reason was the path to future unification.

In fact, the reason he temporarily spared the Sun Moon Empire was because he knew that the biggest obstacle to the unification of the continent was not them, but Shrek Academy.

Shrek Academy is definitely the force that least wants the continent to be unified. In fact, Yuwen Tuo felt that Jing Hongchen's understanding was a bit wrong. Shrek Academy is not really just an academy as he thought. Now everyone knows that Shrek Academy is just a force that uses the name of an academy but is actually comparable to a warlord, or even a country within a country. No unified major power would allow such a country within a country to exist.

Shrek Academy today is like the Spirit Hall of yesteryear; only when the continent is divided into multiple nations can they maintain their superior status and stand proudly in the world.

Moreover, the people they have trained have already penetrated into the courts of the three great kingdoms of Xingluo, Douling, and Tianhun, and can even influence the politics of the three kingdoms. For example, the city lord Ma Sino, who is a nobleman of Tianhun, is only loyal to Shrek Academy and not to Tianhun. There are too many people like him in Tianhun. If this problem is not solved, then even if Vina comes to power in the future, she will actually just be a puppet of Shrek Academy.

One of the most important objectives of Yuwen Tuo's meeting with Emperor Xuexin was this.

The two of them will each act as bait to eliminate all these guys.

Then, the young talents that Vina had secretly cultivated over the years, such as Mu Xue and Mo Yunfei, immediately rose to power and consolidated the court.

About thirty miles from Mingdu, the group decided to disperse and return home.

Xu Jiujiu, along with Star Crown Douluo and Heavenly Sun Douluo, arrived in front of Yuwen Tuo. Xu Jiujiu looked at Yuwen Tuo with a complicated expression. In fact, she was just as conflicted as Xu Tianzhen was just now, wondering whether the person in front of her could still be considered her nephew.

There is no trace of Xingluo left in Yuwentuo's bloodline now.

But Xu Jiujiu still sincerely expressed her gratitude, "Yuwen Tuo, no matter what, thank you so much this time. Without you, none of us would have escaped unscathed. Thank you!"
