Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 337: Has the Sun Moon Empire accelerated its soul-guided technology by decades?

At that time, in order to buy time for Bibi Dong in Death Valley, he gritted his teeth and used that level nine defensive soul tool, a one-time consumable item.

He didn't even bother to pick up the broken fragments of the soul tool; he simply didn't have time for it at the time.

Moreover, not finding any value in the fragments, he simply left.

If these fragments were discovered by the people of the Sun and Moon Empire, would it give them some inspiration?

Shi Yu couldn't help but consider this question.

Many of the formations on that soul tool were ahead of their time. In comparison, it was like the difference between the level of soul tools ten thousand years ago and the level of soul tools today.

If such an advanced soul-guiding array were to fall into the hands of the soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire, it's quite possible they could research something from it.

For example, if the Sun Moon Empire's soul guidance technology were accelerated by a few years or even decades, they might already be able to produce humanoid soul guidance devices.

The Sun Moon Empire originally intended to create a humanoid soul tool that could enhance the strength of Soul Saints and Soul Douluos, which was expected to be within the next ten years or so.

In the next ten or twenty years, the technology of the Sun Moon Empire will enter a new stage, not only with the advent of humanoid soul tools, but also with Kong Deming's breakthrough in level nine soul tools.

He claimed to have created a level 10 soul tool, but it was probably a near-level 10 soul tool. Even if it didn't truly reach level 10, its power was still far greater than that of a level 9 soul tool.

There may be other improvements as well. The advancement of cutting-edge soul tools has also placed demands on soul masters. They may be eager to cultivate soul masters at levels ninety-five or ninety-six.

The more Shi Yu thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

"Shi Yu," Yan Shaozhe called out to Shi Yu.

"Senior Brother" Shi Yu came to his senses and looked at Yan Shaozhe with a puzzled expression.

"What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed in your thoughts," Yan Shaozhe asked.

"I was just wondering why the Sun Moon Empire was thinking of bringing forward the timeline," Shi Yu replied perfunctorily.

Yan Shaozhe nodded in agreement, saying, "I personally feel there must be something we don't know about. It's best not to agree and stick to our original plan."

Xianlin'er and the others nodded in agreement, as following their own plan was definitely better than being led by the nose.

Mu En did not express his opinion, but looked at Shi Yu and asked for his opinion: "Then do you want to bring forward the exchange plan?"

"I?"

"Actually, I'm fine with anything. If it has to be earlier, then so be it," Shi Yu said indifferently.

He wasn't afraid of the Sun Moon Empire harming him. He would just bring Xiao Jin and Jingang with him. What was there to fear from them?
He also has an exaggerated ability to escape, so he's not afraid of even Long Xiaoyao or Ye Xishui being asked to join forces against him.

If I were to take out my Black-level mech and show it off, they would probably treat me like royalty.

Of course, there's also a 50% chance that they're the ones being targeted, and then they'll do everything they can to kill them and get the Black-level mech.

Wealth is a powerful motivator, especially since this Black-grade mecha is ahead of its time. For the Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire, who are fanatical about Soul Tools, it is a deadly temptation and poison, and they cannot resist its allure.

"So, we agree to their early exchange?"

"The Sun Moon Empire is eager to achieve a breakthrough in Soul Master cultivation and wants to cultivate a Super Douluo."

“We are also eager to acquire some advanced soul tool technology. It’s just a matter of who can get their wish first,” Moon said.

"Okay," Shi Yu said, seeing that Elder Mu already had a plan. He didn't try to refuse and decided to go ahead with the plan.

"Teacher, won't this put our junior brothers in danger? That place isn't something we can control," Yan Shaozhe worriedly asked. "Lord Jin Gang should be going with you, right?" Mu En didn't answer Yan Shaozhe, but instead said to Shi Yu.

Shi Yu nodded.

King Kong wanted to stay with him, and there were some risks involved in going to the Sun Moon Empire, so there was no need to leave him with Shrek Academy.

“That would be much safer,” Moon said.

Yan Shaozhe and the others didn't say anything more. With a top-tier expert accompanying them, their safety should be guaranteed.

With Moon's approval, the agreement to allow the Sun Moon Empire to conduct preliminary exchanges was finalized.

The exchange was scheduled for ten days from now, as the Sun Moon Empire was quite eager for it.

What needs to be exchanged is not only students, but also some technical resources from each other.

Shrek Academy promised to share the secrets to cultivating to the level of Super Douluo with the exchanged students from Sun Moon Royal Academy as much as possible.

In exchange, the Sun Moon Empire needs to grant some access to the Mingde Hall to exchange students from Shrek Academy.

Both sides have their own agendas and are working together to achieve their goals by exchanging students. As for who will have the last laugh, that remains to be seen.

Over the next few days, Shi Yu received training in theft.

The academy has gained some understanding of the situation of the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire over the years, and now it is sharing this information with Shi Yu so that he can better steal the soul tool technology of the Sun Moon Empire.

He also taught him a lot about theft, making Shi Yu understand what it means to have a code of honor among thieves.

His previous thefts were too simple and crude, lacking in skill.

However, he didn't think that using this knowledge of theft would be more effective than his own methods of theft.

Sometimes, an advantage in ability can make up for a lack of skill, or even completely erase and surpass it.

The day before departure arrived quickly, and Shi Yu and Jiang Nannan had dinner together.

"You must be extra careful when you get to the Sun Moon Empire. If you encounter danger, just run. Anyway, you're fast, no one can catch you," Jiang Nannan kept nagging, giving all sorts of instructions.

With deep reluctance and worry.

Shi Yu listened with a smile and responded. After finishing their meal, she and Jiang Nannan strolled around the city.

The cool evening breeze made Shi Yu feel inexplicably comfortable.

Before they knew it, it was already 11 or 12 o'clock. Jiang Nannan was reluctant to go back and wanted to stay with Shi Yu a little longer.

"There's still a long time ahead, and I'm not going away forever, so why are you so reluctant to leave?" Shi Yu comforted her with a light laugh.

"I'm just a little reluctant to part with you," Jiang Nannan blurted out, then lowered her head shyly.

Seeing Jiang Nannan's shy expression, Shi Yu gave her a gentle hug and whispered, "There's still plenty of time. A short separation is nothing."

"Hmm," Jiang Nannan hesitated for a moment before hugging Shi Yu with both hands, her heart pounding.

After hugging for a while, Shi Yu let go and said with a smile, "Let's go, it's time to go back."

The next day, Shi Yu and the others gathered at the school gate early in the morning. There were ten of them, including him, who were going to the Sun Moon Royal Academy for an exchange.
