Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 203 Sky Courtyard
Looking at the wings made entirely of metal in her hands, Huo Wu's face was full of question marks.

The others had the same expression. It was hard to imagine that this metal rack could make them fly.

"You'll know if you try it."

Meteor gave a wicked smile.

Although the flying soul guide device is not difficult to use, Huo Wu and others are encountering this kind of flying soul guide device for the first time, and they have suffered a lot in order to master its use.

Except for Shui Bing'er and Feng Xiaotian who could fly, everyone else fell heavily several times.

Fortunately, they were all soul masters with thick skin and flesh, and they didn't fly very high, so the injuries they suffered were only superficial.

The first ones to become proficient in using the flying soul guide were Shui Bing'er and Feng Xiaotian. They already knew how to fly, and after mastering the tricks, they quickly adapted to the flying soul guide.

Later, under the careful teaching of Liuxing and Liuying, Huo Wu and the others finally learned how to use the flying soul guide. Although they were not very proficient, at least they would not suddenly fall from the sky.

After learning to fly, Liuxing waved his hand and everyone set off towards Mingdu.

"Wuhu, so cool, is this what it feels like to fly freely?"

Shuiyue'er rolled and flew in the air. After flying for a while, she became more and more familiar with the flying soul guide. Shuiyue'er couldn't help but do some tricks.

"Yue'er, be careful, don't fall."

Shui Bing'er was frightened by Shui Yue'er's bold action, and she couldn't help but speak worriedly, as if she were an old mother.

"Don't worry, sister. I'm very stable."

Shui Yue'er showed a happy smile on her face and gave Shui Bing'er a thumbs up.

The flying soul guides provided by Meteor are the most advanced soul guides in the Sun-Moon Empire, with the best balance and stability. If Shuiyueer were to use the original Douluo Three Kingdoms flying soul guides, she would have crashed long ago.

Although Liuxing and his companions did not fly very fast and often stopped to rest along the way, they still arrived in Mingdu within three days.

Looking at the magnificent Mingdu with its tall buildings from high in the sky, Huo Wu and the others were stunned. Even Shui Bing'er, who was always calm and reserved, couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise.

After all, they had never seen such a modern city, and what shocked them most was that the city had no city walls to protect it.

This completely overturned their three views. After all, in their opinion, a city without city walls would not feel safe at all.

"How about this? This is the first city on our continent, Mingdu, the capital of the Sun and Moon Empire."

Meteor pointed at the huge city ahead and smiled.

"Is this really the capital of an empire? And it's the first city on the continent, so why doesn't it have city walls?"

Feng Xiaotian asked in confusion.

"Because there's no need. Even without walls, this city is the most difficult to capture on the entire continent."

Liuxing laughed and said, the capital of the Sun-Moon Empire does not need city walls to protect it. Those advanced and powerful soul guides are just for decoration.

When they were still more than ten kilometers away from Mingdu, a meteor fell from the sky with everyone. As they got closer, they entered Mingdu's restricted airspace.

The place where the meteor landed with everyone was the main road, which was paved with cement and was very wide.

Feng Xiaotian and others originally thought that they had to move forward on foot, but they didn't expect that Liuxing stretched out his right hand, and a ray of light shot out from the ring in his hand, and a huge soul guide vehicle appeared on the road.

Looking at the pitch-black behemoth in front of them, Feng Xiaotian and others looked at each other in confusion.

Seeing this soul-guided car, Liuying's eyes lit up and she walked straight to the driver's seat.

Liu Xing opened the car door, looked at Feng Xiaotian and the others and said, "Get in the car."

"What is this? A carriage?"

Shui Bing'er blinked, her eyes full of confusion.

When they got in the car, they found that Liuying was already sitting in the driver's seat and had input her soul power into a crystal ball.

Then, without any prelude, the carriage in their eyes suddenly rushed out, and its speed was faster than their full speed running.

You know, they are all Soul Masters. With the blessing of soul power, their running speed is not slow, and it is far beyond that of ordinary people.

In just a few minutes, the distance of more than ten kilometers was reached in an instant. When Shui Bing'er and others got off the car, they were still in a trance.

They were not frightened by the speed, after all, flying soul guides were faster, they were just a little overloaded by the impact of this new thing.

A 'carriage' that could run on its own without the need for horses or spirit beasts to pull it was still far slower than a horse carriage, and it consumed only a fraction of Liuying's spirit power. Such an advanced spirit guide made it difficult for Shui Bing'er and the others who came from another spirit guide desert world to adapt.

After putting the soul guide vehicle back into the storage soul guide device, Liu Xing took Shui Bing'er and others to the city gate to register. He showed the identity token of the core disciple of Mingde Hall to the registration staff, and the registration staff immediately and enthusiastically helped Shui Bing'er and others to apply for identity verification.

The speed was so fast that several businessmen queuing nearby were stunned.

After entering Mingdu, Shui Bing'er and others couldn't take their eyes off the various shops, the soul guide screens and lights on the roadside, and all kinds of novel things.

The meteors and fireflies also slowed down their pace at the same time. The scenery along the way dazzled them, and the shock in their eyes could not be dispelled for a long time.

In their world, they had never seen such a scene. Compared with Mingdu, they felt that even Tiandou City and Wuhun City were considered rural areas.

"This is truly breathtaking. I'm so glad I joined the Nevernight Palace. Otherwise, how could I have seen such a magnificent city? I might have been stuck in a well my whole life."

Feng Xiaotian sighed.

"Yeah, I originally thought that Tiandou City was already prosperous enough, but compared to this city, Tiandou City is no different from our Tianshui City."

Shui Yue'er also showed a look of surprise.

"Okay, there's plenty of time later. Next time I'll take you on a tour of Mingdu. Now I'll take you to our Nevernight Palace."

Seeing that everyone had come back to their senses, Liu Xing clapped his hands and smiled.

"Well, let's go quickly. We can't keep Senior Bingfeng and the others waiting for too long."

Shui Bing'er nodded with anticipation in her eyes. Although she had already decided to take Luan Yu as her master, she had not changed her mind since they had not officially met and become his disciple.

Huo Wu and the others looked at Shui Bing'er with envy. They also wanted to take a Titled Douluo as their master! But unfortunately, Luan Yu was only interested in Shui Bing'er, and Luan Feng had no time to accept disciples. After all, she was still the leader of the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group.

Soon, Liuxing brought everyone to a huge villa, which was Luanyu's villa. The Never-Night Palace was just being built and there was no residence at all, so they could only use Luanyu's villa temporarily.

As I entered the villa gate, I saw Luan Yu, Luan Feng, Ji Juechen, Jing Zi Yan, Xu Tian Zhen and Nana waiting behind the door.

At this time, they were the only ones in Mingdu. Xue Nu, Gu Yuena, Ye Guyi, Meng Hongchen and others were not in Mingdu.

Although everyone was already familiar with each other in the chat group, this was the first time they actually met. However, with Xu Tianzhen being outgoing, Shui Binger and the others quickly became familiar with each other after the initial awkwardness.

Luanyu's villa is big enough to accommodate hundreds of people. After arranging for Shui Bing'er and others to move in, Luanyu accepted Shui Bing'er as his disciple in front of everyone. This was something that had been discussed long ago, and now it was just a ceremony to become a disciple.

After handing Shui Bing'er and others over to Luanyu, Liuxing went to the warehouse and put the soul guide prepared by Luanyu into his own storage soul guide.

He and Liuying will not stay in Mingdu for long. They will go to the other world again after a while.

After obtaining the resources of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, they will begin to prepare to establish the headquarters of the Never-Night Palace. Meteor plans to build a huge aerial battleship as the headquarters of the Never-Night Palace.

He, Liuying, Luanyu and others personally went to ask Kong Deming for help in the design. After agreeing to a series of conditions, Kong Deming agreed to gather some ninth-level soul masters to help them create the design drawings of the aerospace battleship.

Although the Sun-Moon Empire already had some small warships and had secretly built giant floating warships, Meteor wanted something different.

What he wanted was not an aerospace battleship, but a small courtyard in the sky. This was extremely difficult. Although the Sun-Moon Empire had already mastered the anti-gravity soul guide, the technology and resources required to build such a courtyard in the sky were astronomical.

In terms of technology, there are ninth-level soul masters such as Kong Deming, Jing Hongchen, Luan Yu, and Luan Feng. If they are given time, there will be no problem in designing a complete blueprint.

The problem is how to make a small sky courtyard float in the air, which requires unimaginable resources.

Liu Xing dared to do this because, firstly, the resources on the other side of the world were very rich and he had enough time to collect them; secondly, after Gu Yuena learned of his idea, she told Liu Xing that she could provide a large amount of basic resources and metal ores.

The Snow Girl also told him that she also had a way to collect a large amount of mineral resources in the Far North.

Although Liuxing didn't know when Gu Yuena and Xue Nu became rich women, he didn't refuse.

The construction of the Sky Courtyard not only belongs to him and Liuying, but also to the entire Nevernight Palace. Everyone has the obligation to contribute to its construction.

With the basic resources and technical personnel in place, the only problem is floating.

The current technology of the Sun-Moon Empire can only allow giant warships to float a dozen meters high, while small warships can fly hundreds of meters high.

But Meteor requires that the sky courtyard be able to fly to a height of thousands of meters, which is a bit embarrassing.

It's not that the technology is not up to standard, but the hardware is not good enough. The anti-gravity technology of the Sun-Moon Empire comes from the soul skill of gravity control, and the gravity room is also developed based on this.

A soul guide equipped with the soul skill of gravity control, even if it reaches the ninth level, cannot support an aerial courtyard.

Moreover, this kind of large flying soul guide is very difficult to produce and consumes a lot of resources. Otherwise, the Sun-Moon Empire would have built a more powerful flying battleship long ago.
