Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 291 Establishment of a new Soul Spirit force, formation of the Soul Guidance Guard Legion, and the introduction of new metal Soul Guidance devices.

"What's the big deal? Tell me, I'm listening." Jing Hongchen lowered his brows, taking Xu Tianxi's attitude very seriously. After two years apart, he should be viewed with new respect.

The opponent possesses strength comparable to a Super Douluo, making them a figure on the same level as themselves.

"The first major matter concerns the soul. I've heard that the news has already leaked out. Since that's the case, we don't need to hide it anymore. We should prepare to select people to establish a new force independent of Mingde Hall and set up a signboard."

Xu Tianxi stated his first opinion in a deep voice: since Xu Tianran had given him free publicity, he would go with the flow and step out from behind the scenes openly and honestly.

Upon his return, his mindset had changed. He had killed two level 97 Super Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect. There were very few people in the world who could suppress him. How could he not establish his own sect?
Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen's face lit up with joy, and he nodded vigorously: "Good! You have no idea how much trouble I've been getting from those people these past few days. And among them are many of your senior brothers and sisters, people you see every day. I can't say anything harsh."

"Once you spread this news, they will finally be able to settle down."

Xiao Hongchen, who had listened to the whole thing, asked, "Old Xu, what are you planning to do with the funds for building the new force? Will it be the Hongchen family plus the Xuanming Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianxi turned his head, smiled gently at him, and said, "Not long ago, I joined forces with the Tongtian Baxia clan, the ocean overlord, and the Beast God Di Tian to destroy eight Title Douluos of the Haotian Sect and nine Title Douluos of Seagod Island, and seized a lot of things."

"Haotian Sect and Seagod Island? Joining forces with Ditian?"

Xiao Hongchen was taken aback. He suddenly stood up, bracing himself on the table, and stared intently at Xu Tianxi, asking cautiously, "Old Xu, you're not joking with me, are you?"

"Of course not." Xu Tianxi shook his head and said seriously, "If I hadn't already killed two Super Douluos at sea, why do you think I would say I didn't know if I could kill a Super Douluo on land?"

"Haotian Sect has been in seclusion for many years, and they still have a lot of gold soul coins. The two guys I killed were very rich, with more than 100 million gold soul coins in total. The Baxia clan and Di Tian had no use for gold soul coins, so they helped me collect the relics of those elders."

"The gold soul coins on those eight elders of the Haotian Sect alone amount to more than 200 million. The various miscellaneous items on them can also be valued at over 100 million, and their soul bones are even more valuable."

After the great battle, he made a special trip back to the seabed to collect the bodies of the three Title Douluos who had been killed by Di Tian, ​​and also took their soul bones; he didn't let go of the belongings of the remaining two Title Douluos either.

As for the Nine Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island, they didn't have much to offer. They lived at sea and rarely used gold soul coins. Xu Tianxi was too embarrassed to take their soul bones, so Tongtian Bazu kept them as souvenirs.

"Huh?" "Huh?"

Jing Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen both showed the same surprised expression. Two hundred million gold soul coins? That number is a bit unusual.

Two years later, Xu Tianxi has not only become a top expert, but also a tycoon?
Meng Hongchen blinked her bright eyes and whispered, "Then you have everything you need now, don't you?"

Xu Tianxi thought for a moment after hearing this, and nodded slightly: "You could say that."

The gifts that Tongtian Bazu gave himself were even more valuable, so much so that he was unsure of their astronomical value. If they were put on the market, countless gem merchants would probably go bankrupt crying.

"I have already spoken with Elder Kong about the royal family. The Gongfeng Hall will invest. The Xu family can invest if they want, or it doesn't matter if they don't."

Xu Tianxi is now indifferent to the royal family. He welcomes those who are willing to send him money and will share the spoils with them in the future. If they are not willing, they shouldn't be envious. He respects Kong Deming and the Imperial Hall, and the old emperor of the Xu family can still give them some face, but Xu Tianran is out of the question.

Of course, the new force will be the force of the Sun Moon Empire, and will not be arrogant and think it is above the empire, otherwise it will become the new Shrek.

"Okay, it seems you've thought this through very well. So, what's the second important matter you mentioned?"

Jing Hongchen completely agreed with Xu Tianxi's idea. When the two families formed an alliance, they had already agreed to share weal and woe. Several years ago, when he brought Xu Tianxi back to the academy, he thought it would take at least twenty years to see a return. But now, it was as if he could see a bright future beckoning to him.

"The second major matter is to ensure the safety of this soul spirit force. I will set up a small guard team. I will provide the funding for this guard team, but I need the most advanced soul guidance equipment in the Sun Moon Empire at present, which is at least on par with the four Beast King-level soul guidance regiments."

Xu Tianxi retracted one finger and said seriously, "Once a new force is established, countless people will inevitably covet it. For the safety of us and our staff, we must form a guard team. I cannot access large quantities of new soul tools in the Sun Moon Empire, so I will have to ask you, Dean, for help."

Jing Hongchen's eyes lit up, and she completely agreed with Xu Tianxi's opinion: "That's easy! Of course, of course. I can get you a hundred sets of equipment. It's about your safety, so it's worth spending any amount of money."

Xu Tianxi shook his head, spread his five fingers on his right hand, and said, "Dean, one hundred sets are not enough. I need at least five hundred sets. They must all be the most advanced equipment in the empire at present. Money is not a problem, but the equipment must not be of inferior quality."

"In fact, I think we don't need too many of these things. We just need to get the templates. Apart from the soul tools of level seven and above, all we need are rare metals as raw materials. I can invest in building factories and recruit soul masters to manufacture new equipment."

"Five hundred sets? Isn't that a bit much?" Jing Hongchen was startled by the number Xu Tianxi mentioned. This was the standard staffing for a normal Soul Master Corps, but the equipment was even stronger—the Guardian Hand level.

He suspected that Xu Tianxi, having amassed so much wealth, lacked a concrete understanding of the difficulty of forming a Soul Master Corps, so he said with a serious expression, "Tianxi, you may not know how troublesome it is to recruit Soul Master combatants. Equipment is secondary; finding five hundred Soul Masters of Soul Master rank or higher is not easy, and maintaining such an army long-term is also a considerable burden..."

“I know, but before I came here, my ancestor selected a group of three hundred elites from the sect, all of whom were direct descendants of the Xuanming Shield Martial Soul.”

Xu Tianxi interrupted Jing Hongchen, spreading his hands to indicate that five hundred sets were really not much for him: "If I fully equip this elite force, I can use fewer resources, but in that case, I'm afraid Elder Kong and the others will think that I'm doing this to raise a private army, which is why I expanded the force to five hundred."

"Their training mechanism is based on the actual control of soul masters. They are not required to make soul tools, but only to use them. They only need one soul tool: to give full play to their strengths and make up for their weaknesses."

If necessary, I'm willing to fund a project at Mingde Hall to research and procure new types of soul tools, providing everyone with opportunities to earn extra money. Money is not a problem.

"For the remaining two hundred people, I plan to recruit natives of the Sun Moon Empire. You, Dean, will be in charge of this group. Using your people, is that alright?"

Jing Hongchen was speechless for a moment: "..."

Your ancestor was truly generous to offer up three hundred elite disciples from various sects in one go.

The physical qualities of a Soul Master are not the same as those of a Soul Instructor, let alone the elite of the Xuanming Sect. The average physical qualities of such an elite group must be far superior to those of the four Beast King-level Soul Instructor groups.

This stance suggests they're willing to throw money and manpower at the problem, forcing their way into a fierce and powerful army.

However, Jing Hongchen had no reason to refuse. Xu Tianxi had given him two hundred shares, and he didn't have to pay for the military expenses himself. If he didn't know how to choose people, then he would have wasted his time.

Besides the top students like Xu Tianxi, there were also quite a few other students in the Department of Control Science who, when they had nothing to do, would imitate Chief Ji Juechen and go around picking fights. It would be a good opportunity to kick them all out and solve their employment problems.

"Of course, I didn't say that you, Dean, should collect equipment in a high-profile manner. These things can be done under various pretexts, such as trade with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School or research needs. If the commotion is too big, some people might have some ideas."

Since his power is not yet fully established, Xu Tianxi does not want to completely fall out with certain people. Once his power is established, he will control both the Soul Authority and the military, and will no longer need to fear anyone.

"Good, good, that's good, that's excellent." Jing Hongchen wiped the sweat from the shock of today's bombshell news. Xu Tianxi wasn't blinded by his current success and knew the importance of developing first and then unleashing his potential.

Once this top-tier Soul Master Corps is established, it won't be difficult for his Mingde Hall to occasionally borrow members to help guard the place—a great thing indeed.

"The third thing is about the three girls I brought."

Xu Tianxi's expression grew increasingly serious as he said, "You know that among those three is the Snow Emperor of the Far North; the other two are representatives of the Star Dou Great Forest, with high status and great abilities. I have already recognized the blonde one as my elder sister. Please prepare their respective cultivation environments and treat them well."

"My sister is interested in blacksmithing. Could you please prepare two forging rooms for her at the highest level, one for her and one for her sister, where she can try out various rare metals?"

"As for the silver-haired one, she has a great talent for soul spirit research. I plan to take her to study soul spirits. You must instruct your subordinates not to offend them, otherwise it will be a pointless death if they are beaten to death. Their identities also need to be kept secret for the time being."

Xue Di is relatively calm and can endure loneliness; Gu Zhaoqiu is impulsive and fiery, and if she isn't given metal to smash, this female tyrannosaurus might smash people instead; as for Gu Yuena, who is nominally in charge but actually has the potential to be a punching bag, it's better to give her the treatment of a chief researcher and personally guide her.

When I get tired of studying souls, I can also study alloy technology. Maybe I can directly manipulate the laws to forge and develop the Heavenly Forging technology ahead of time.

Jing Hongchen nodded, indicating that these were not problems, then asked with great confusion, "Why prepare a forging room for them? Do the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest really like forging?"

"They have abundant and vigorous qi and blood, it would be a waste not to use them for blacksmithing. I am certain that once the quality of rare metals improves, the power of soul tools will also increase. Take a look at this."

Xu Tianxi took out a level 5 soul-guided ray gun and handed it to Jing Hongchen, explaining, "This is a soul-guided gun that I made on my way back using rare metals that they forged and processed. Its power is comparable to a level 6 soul-guided device."

"Of course, the difficulty of making soul tools with this new metal has increased two or three times, but it is only equivalent to making a level 5 milk bottle. Compared to its power and the soul power required, this is a completely acceptable transformation."

Jing Hongchen took the soul-guided gun, his fingers trembling slightly. He took a deep breath, summoned three alloy steel plates that could withstand the bombardment of a level-six soul-guided weapon, and fired a shot at the steel plates.

"boom--!"

The soul-guided ray pierced through the first steel plate almost without stopping, then the second, and only ran out of energy on the third.

This result made the air feel much less cold. Jing Hongchen's expression changed, and he looked at Xu Tianxi with a complicated look in his eyes, saying, "Tianxi, this is another huge breakthrough. Just based on this achievement alone, you are qualified to receive the treatment of a specially appointed researcher at Mingdetang."

"I didn't do all of these things. I just came up with an idea and did some practice."

Xu Tianxi did not take credit. He stood up and said solemnly, "This is the core reason why I asked you to prepare a forging room for them. I want to use these metals to forge an unprecedentedly strong army!"

"The historic leap forward for Soul Masters will surely occur in our hands!"
