Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 213 Ascending to the highest throne!

This was the first time that the Golden Body Douluo had come to the Sun Moon Empire, and the shock he felt from all the soul-guided technology along the way was indescribable!
He never imagined that soul tools could be used in this way!
The extensive highway network and high-speed soul-guided trains not only enabled ordinary people to travel at the same speed as advanced soul masters, but also greatly enhanced the Sun Moon Empire's control over its entire territory.

With such a transportation network, the Sun Moon Empire could deploy an entire army to any location within its borders within two days!

Mingdu, the only capital city on the entire continent without city walls, lies across a vast plain, with towering buildings rising up like a steel forest from afar!

Smooth, clean roads crisscross the city, with soul-guided vehicles coming and going, and people bustling about. The city's prosperity far surpasses that of Shrek City, which is known as the number one city on the continent!

The Golden-Bodied Douluo gazed at the magnificent city and fell silent once more. Only now did he acknowledge Poison Undying's decision.

Jing Hongchen personally led some level-nine soul masters from Mingde Hall with light missions to await the arrival of Du Busi and Jin Shen Douluo. Their whereabouts had already been revealed to them through various reconnaissance methods.

"How is it? Doesn't the grandeur of my Sun Moon Empire surpass that of the Heavenly Soul Empire?" Jing Hongchen asked with a smile, looking at the Golden Body Douluo who had just arrived in the Sun Moon Empire.

The Golden Body Douluo didn't want to praise the Sun Moon Empire, but he couldn't bring himself to say something against his conscience. After a long while, he nodded heavily and said, "Indeed."

Jing Hongchen laughed and said, "Teacher is already waiting for you two! Come with me. Also, Qingtong, Teacher and I have some things to discuss with you and Shengyu later, so go find your brother first."

"Oh," Jiang Qingtong replied, wondering what Jing Hongchen and the others wanted to talk to her about.

Jiang Shengyu was still working with Huo Yuhao on new soul tool technology when Jiang Qingtong pushed open the laboratory door. A soul tool component flew directly towards her, which she easily dodged.

"Cousin, your reflexes are amazing!" Huo Yuhao gave Jiang Qingtong a thumbs up when he saw how easily she dodged the impact of the exploding soul tool part.

Jiang Qingtong twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled at him.

If you can see the soul tool explode before the door opens, and the parts fly over, you can dodge it.

Jiang Shengyu walked over and picked up the fragment of the soul tool, sighing, "It seems the stability is still not good enough. To effectively compress soul power, the requirements for the stability of the soul tool core formation and the strength of the materials are too high!"

"The current compression level can effectively compress soul power to around level 35, which can provide power to a level 3 soul tool for a long time. I believe that as long as we continue our research, we will definitely be able to greatly enhance the function of the energy storage soul tool!" Huo Yuhao encouraged Jiang Shengyu.

"Materials! It has to be materials!"

Jiang Shengyu sighed and said, "There are too few suitable materials! But right now, Mingdetang is unable to spare the manpower to conduct research on composite materials..."

"Composite materials?" Huo Yuhao looked at Jiang Shengyu, bewildered by the name he had suddenly mentioned.

Jiang Shengyu explained: "It is a new type of material formed by mixing multiple single materials in a certain proportion. Depending on the proportion of mixing and the properties of the materials, it can have many characteristics that single materials do not have."

After listening to Jiang Shengyu's story, Huo Yuhao also said, "It does sound difficult."

Just as the group was worrying about the materials for the energy storage soul tool, Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming arrived at the laboratory and found the two of them.

"Teacher, you've finished talking with the original Douluo already?" Jiang Shengyu asked in surprise when she saw the two of them approaching.

Kong Deming nodded and said, "There's not much to say. The emperor is seriously ill and in no mood to see them, so he left everything to us. We just briefly discussed the new location of the Body Sect and some matters of cooperation." The two then realized what was going on.

"I have something to say to you two. Yuhao is here too, so listen in," Kong Deming said to the three of them.

"Yes."

Huo Yuhao nodded and followed Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong to the rest area on the side.

Kong Deming said to the three, "The Emperor is seriously ill, and even Tianyin Douluo cannot cure him! In my opinion, the Emperor has at most two years to live. After his death, who do you think is most suitable to be the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire?"

To openly discuss the emperor's lifespan is a major taboo in any feudal empire! Only Kong Deming possesses absolute authority, and in the Sun Moon Empire, the Hall of Worship where Kong Deming resides is even more important than the royal family!

Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong exchanged a glance and said in unison, "The emperor is dead, so won't Crown Prince Xu Tianran inherit the throne?"

"He's no good." Kong Deming shook his head and asserted that Xu Tianran was no good.

Seeing Kong Deming's attitude, Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong understood his meaning. Jiang Qingtong asked, "Since Xu Tianran is not suitable, which member of the royal family has the teacher chosen?"

Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen exchanged a glance, and Jing Hongchen sighed, "After the emperor ascended the throne, he launched a massive purge against the royal family, even altering their inherited martial spirit. In addition, Xu Tianran has been collaborating with the Holy Spirit Cult on assassinations over the years, leaving very few close relatives of the royal family. The only royal family member who fits the criteria is probably He Caitou from Shrek Academy."

"We can't really make him emperor, can we?" Jiang Shengyu frowned.

"Do you think we're fools?" Jing Hongchen rolled her eyes at Jiang Shengyu and said, "Let the teacher talk to you."

Kong Deming's expression grew even more serious as he watched Jiang Shengyu's expression harden. He said to him, word by word, "Shengyu, listen carefully. Your senior brother and I have decided to place you on the highest throne!"

"what?"

Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong exclaimed in unison, their synchronization even surprising Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen.

Jiang Shengyu looked at Kong Deming, calmed herself down, and asked, "Teacher, are you joking?"

"When have I ever joked with you like this?" Kong Deming retorted.

Jiang Shengyu frowned and said, "But I'm not royalty..."

"I am!"

Kong Deming looked at Jiang Shengyu and said in a deep voice, "With my support, whether you are a member of the royal family or not is not important! After you ascend the throne, you only need to marry a royal woman to carry on the royal bloodline."

Kong Deming was very open-minded about who should be the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire. In his opinion, it would be better to let his student take the throne than to let Xu Tianran, who was cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult, take the throne!
At least Jiang Shengyu is exceptionally talented, and he watched him grow up.

An emperor who is a Limit Douluo is enough to lead the Sun Moon Empire to its peak!
