Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 359 The Thief Who Spent Two and a Half Years in Heaven Makes His Debut in Two-Word Battle Armor

"A person's destiny depends on their own efforts, of course, but the course of history must also be taken into account."

In the open-air lecture hall of the Heavenly Court's Special Agent Department, Minister Xuan Ziwen was interviewed by Meng Hongchen, the top reporter of Mingdu, and gave a public lecture, sharing his life experiences as a minister of the Heavenly Court and a ninth-level soul master.

With a look of reminiscence, he held the microphone soul tool and said with emotion, "Two and a half years ago, with the help of my mentor, I broke through the level 90 barrier and was about to come to the Heavenly Court to contract a ten-thousand-year soul spirit to become a titled Douluo when I heard from one of my students at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy that my laboratory had been moved here intact."

"I don't understand why they would move my laboratory to the Heavenly Court when I was doing so well at Mingde Hall. I found out that the Heavenly Court and Mingde Hall have decided to open a new research department and I will be the head of this department to oversee the overall situation and coordinate research and development."

"I'm not being modest, but how did a newly promoted level nine soul master like me become a department head? Besides, the technical foundation here is very weak, there's a severe shortage of talent, and it's very difficult to carry out the work."

At this point, Xuan Ziwen revealed a mischievous smile, drawing out his words in a humorous tone:

"I asked him then, 'You have nothing, what am I supposed to do?' He was very confident and gave me a reason I couldn't refuse."

Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen seemed to recall something, her lips curving upwards into a smile, her two dimples appearing faintly on her cheeks. However, her professional journalistic instincts prevented her from actually laughing.

Xuan Ziwen deliberately spoke loudly: "What's the reason? The Heavenly Court is rich! There's plenty of research funding! And plenty of rare metals too!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The audience around him laughed and were having a great time, including many outstanding graduates from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

With sufficient audience feedback, Xuan Ziwen's speech gradually improved, and he passionately declared: "What else is there besides money? Authority. Here, I am the boss, and even the Lord of Heaven would have to respect my opinion."

"He said he would only be responsible for allocating funds and getting results. If necessary, he would personally participate in the research and experience of the products. My research team and I were responsible for completing the tasks, but he didn't care about the process."

"As long as I can produce the results he wants, it's entirely within my capabilities for me to lead a team to embezzle 100 million gold soul coins. Tell me, do you think I could let such a good opportunity slip by?"

"No way!!!"

The audience below howled like wolves, seemingly exhibiting signs of human atavism, their emotions running high, especially among the special agent research and development members, including Orange and Coco, who had been raking in year-end bonuses for over two years, practically achieving a visible upward social mobility.

Xuan Ziwen nodded in satisfaction and continued, "And so, I took office. In the past two years, I have done a lot of work, but there are only three things worth mentioning."

"The first thing was participating in the research collaboration on the giant humanoid soul tool of my old unit, Mingdetang. The second thing was my sealed baby bottle technology, which gave the soul tool a new life. The third thing was completing the research on the miniaturized humanoid soul tool in cooperation with multiple departments, and standardizing and normalizing it."

"Among them, the miniature humanoid soul tool is an equipment that the Lord of Heaven personally ordered to be released. It is a piece of equipment that we have high hopes for and is about to be unveiled. We believe that this technology will make the soul master world, and even the entire soul master world, tremble. Of course, this is not all my achievement."

"I'm ashamed to say that I only made a small contribution, but I think it was roughly worth the funds allocated..."

Just then, a gentle breeze swept by, caressing everyone's faces. Xu Tianxi, along with Gu Yuena and Ji Juechen, found a secluded spot to sit down and began their incognito visit with great interest.

The supreme ruler of the Heavenly Court returned to his loyal Heavenly Court with his tool dragon!

“Old Ji, we’ve said that you need to be gentle and approachable in Heaven. You’re a minister now, so don’t always have such a stern face.”

Noticing that Ji Juechen always had a blank expression, Xu Tianxi smiled and waved his hand, advising Ji Juechen to relax.

Ji Juechen glanced at the audience below the stage and said, "As you know, my department's work is special, so it's fine to keep things as they are normally."

Recalling the nature of the other person's work, Xu Tianxi nodded slightly, "That's true."

"What is his job? What kind of minister is he?" Gu Yuena asked curiously.

"The Special Service Department's main job is to deal with spies and agents who have infiltrated the Heavenly Court. They often cooperate with my sister's Security Department to jointly apprehend spies who have sneaked into the Heavenly Court and dangerous individuals who attack Heavenly Court staff. They have made outstanding contributions."

"Oh, my sister's security department is responsible for protecting the personal safety of Heavenly Court personnel and fighting against foreign enemies. The minister is Xiong Jun, the deputy minister is Ice Bear King Xiaobai, and my sister is the human-beast peace ambassador."

Xu Tianxi's expression turned cold as he explained, "In the past two years, the Heavenly Court's reputation has spread far and wide. From hundred-year-old soul spirits to ten-thousand-year-old soul spirits, they have begun to circulate within the Sun Moon Empire, which quickly attracted the envy of the former Three Kingdoms."

"With the examples of Shrek Academy, Body Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, and Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, they dare not openly attack the Heavenly Court, so they resort to all sorts of underhanded tactics."

From sending spies to collect soul contract incantations and infiltrating the Heavenly Court to steal soul research data, to dispatching powerful soul masters to attack and kidnap off-duty staff, they spared no effort.

"Fortunately, we have a special intelligence network with experts like Xiong Jun and Ice Bear King Xiaobai in charge, and the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps can be mobilized at any time, so we didn't suffer a big loss."

Ji Juechen nodded and said coldly, "A year ago, we laid a trap and killed over a hundred elite Soul Masters, including a Title Douluo of the Agility Attack type, wiping out their plans near Mingdu. Only then did they have peace."

"Since then, they have dared not run wild near the Heavenly Court anymore, and have instead set their sights on our Heavenly Court's branches throughout the country." "The Martial Soul Department, which is responsible for awakening martial souls for civilians for free, has suffered multiple terrorist attacks. The department head, Ye Guyi, has even been assassinated by a Title Douluo. It is truly despicable."

"However, so far, any Soul Master who dares to attack us has met a tragic end. Our headquarters has already killed over two hundred Soul Masters. If they dare to come, we dare to kill them!"

Xu Tianxi recounted to Gu Yuena in detail that the agility-type titled Douluo whom Ji Juechen and the others had plotted to kill came from Shrek Academy, and the other Soul Masters were a mixed bag, including Shrek Academy members, members of the Sea God Alliance, and even a few evil Soul Masters.

Thanks to the intelligence sources of both the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Star Luo Empire, the Heavenly Court set up a tight encirclement and succeeded in eliminating the five strongholds and spies of the original three kingdoms in Mingdu.

The Spirit Department, as its name suggests, is dedicated to recaptured the glory of the Spirit Hall. Its head is the Holy Angel Ye Guyi, and its main functions are modeled after the Spirit Hall: distributing money and awakening spirits, which is quite stimulating.

After the two Title Douluos who attempted to assassinate Ye Guyi failed, they were captured alive by Qian Gu Jingzhe. One of them was a military leader who followed the Heaven Dou Empire in attacking and destroying the Spirit Hall, and the other was a member of the Sea God Alliance.

After learning the truth, the Heavenly Court experts used them as bait and captured a group of Soul Masters, thus largely eliminating the threat.

The consecutive deaths of three Title Douluo made every faction realize the power of the situation, which finally brought a year of peace to the Heavenly Court.

After listening to Xu Tianxi's account, Gu Yuena frowned deeply, her delicate eyebrows furrowing repeatedly. She said with great disdain, "How can the people from Shrek Academy and the Sea God Alliance be so shameless?"

Evil Soul Masters are not only despicable, but they also sound like bad people. Shrek Academy is famous, and the Sea God Alliance claims to be great and righteous, but instead of developing their own technology, they do shameless things like stealing chickens and dogs.
Her hard work is evident in the soul research data; aren't these bastards stealing the fruits of her labor? How despicable!
The Silver Dragon King is very angry, and the consequences will be severe!

"They always act this way; they don't think like normal people at all. It's possible for them to develop some unorthodox methods like secret techniques and soul bones, but these things are really difficult for them."

"And even when they are prisoners, they don't seem to be sober until a knife is at their throat. I don't understand where they get their courage. It's as if they can keep deceiving themselves and win as long as they don't die."

Xu Tianxi shrugged and sighed, while Ji Juechen nodded in deep agreement.

During the Mingdu War, Xu Tianxi captured more than twenty Shrek Academy's inner court geniuses. After becoming a minister, Ji Juechen suddenly decided to find these people to practice with and see if he could recruit a few employees to show that he, Ji Juechen, was also ambitious and hardworking.

After arriving, Ji Juechen said that apart from Han Ruoruo, there was no one who could fight. However, before losing, those Shrek people would always shout slogans such as "Honor cannot be dishonored" and "Shrek will not be defeated," as if losing to him, Ji Juechen, was a huge insult.

The actions of these religious fanatics annoyed Ji Juechen so much that he finally cleaved them in two with a single sword strike, crippling them, and afterwards remarked that "the Heavenly Court cannot employ such staff."

I've already cleaved one of your Shrek Academy's titled Douluo alive, why would I care about you lunatics?
"So what's happening to those Shrek Academy students you captured?" Gu Yuena blinked, secretly looking forward to Xu Tianxi making things difficult for these despicable Shrek people.

"I've been in seclusion these past few days, so I don't know," Xu Tianxi shook his head and asked Ji Juechen, "Old Ji, how are those guys doing now?"

Ji Juechen looked thoughtful and slowly said, "Except for a few inner court students who were saved by Zhang Lexuan, the rest who refused to surrender were sent to have their sperm extracted for breeding."

"The Red Dust Hall Master said that since they are unwilling to become Sun and Moon people, then we only need their martial spirits."

"Excellent, Master's insights are indeed unique."

Xu Tianxi applauded and praised Jing Hongchen's actions, expressing his strong approval.

Extracting sperm for breeding is a technique that exists in the Sun Moon Empire. In the original story, Huo Qubing used this technique to poke his kidney and give birth to a son. It is quite appropriate to use it on these Shrek people.

You're unwilling to surrender, huh? We have plenty of ways! Once the child grows up, he'll wipe out all of you biological parents, and your top-tier martial soul will be unique to the Sun Moon Empire.

Gu Yuena didn't quite understand the meaning of sperm extraction for breeding, but seeing Xu Tianxi laughing happily, her mood improved as well. Her usually aloof face softened like snow melting in the night, like a lily blooming in the darkness.

The Mountain Dragon King was her subordinate. If his subordinate took revenge, it would be equivalent to her taking revenge herself. The logic makes sense.

On stage, Xuan Ziwen and Meng Hongchen's conversation continued. After recounting some anecdotes, Xuan Ziwen began to talk about soul tools, focusing on humanoid soul tools, and then began to demonstrate them personally.

He put down the microphone, stood up, opened his arms, stretched his body, and a dazzling halo was released from under his skin.

A headband resembling that of a researcher appeared around his forehead, followed by eleven pieces of armor: chest armor, left and right shoulder armor, arm armor, hand armor, waist guard, battle skirt, leg armor, and battle boots. Suddenly, a pair of metal wings unfolded from his back, and with a slight flap, Xuan Ziwen took to the air.

The bright sunlight shone on Xuan Ziwen's battle armor, reflecting the two large characters "Special Agent".

Below the stage, Xu Tianxi smiled and nodded, very satisfied. This was the highest achievement the Heavenly Court had made in the field of humanoid soul tools in more than two years: a standardized two-word battle armor.

A Soul Saint clad in two-word battle armor possesses strength comparable to a Title Douluo!
