Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

"Your goal is to train a group of Soul Guidance Department teachers within ten years, and in the next ten years, to get the Soul Guidance Department on the right track and officially train students for the whole continent."

Wu Qi's work plan is divided into two decades.

The first decade was proposed by Zhao Chenggong. Based on the training methods of the Sun Moon Continent, it was believed that ten years would be sufficient to train truly talented students to the level of a sixth-level Soul Master.

Level 6 Soul Masters are the main personnel for teaching and can also participate in the research and development of higher-level Soul Tools.

If the plan goes smoothly, Zhao Chenggong will gain a group of capable assistants in the future, and will be more confident in developing level eight or even level nine soul tools.

After handing over his work, Wu Qi left the Spirit Hall Academy.

Meanwhile, inside the Papal Palace, Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo had been waiting for a long time.

Before Wu Qi ascended to the papacy, he had already reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with Ning Fengzhi regarding soul tools. Furthermore, the research and development funds for the Soul Tool Association have been provided by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been a member of the Spirit Hall for a long time and has actively cooperated with the Spirit Hall's experts in many operations, making outstanding contributions. Before the widespread use of soul tool technology, allowing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to share in the benefits can be considered a reward for them.

Furthermore, the core disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are all support-type Soul Masters. In the past, to protect the sect's safety, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School recruited many Battle Soul Masters across the continent. If they could acquire Soul Tools, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's defense pressure would be greatly reduced, and they could also save a lot of money recruiting powerful individuals.

The funds saved can be used for the research and development of soul tools, which is undoubtedly a virtuous cycle.

Not long after, Wu Qi returned from the Spirit Hall Academy and met with Ning Fengzhi immediately.

"Your Holiness, regarding the development of soul tools..." Ning Fengzhi unusually cut to the chase without beating around the bush.

He was summoned by Wu Qi. At the same time, Wu Qi had recently visited the Spirit Hall Academy. With Ning Fengzhi's abilities, he naturally guessed that Wu Qi's actions were for the development of soul tool-related technologies.

Wu Qi smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Ning, there's no need to be so formal in private."

"The Spirit Hall Academy has only recently established its Spirit Guidance Department, and the teaching of spirit tools is still in the experimental and exploratory stage."

Wu Qi could certainly copy the talent cultivation model for soul tools from the Sun and Moon Continent, but the situations on the two continents are different. If he simply copied it, trouble would inevitably arise.

Furthermore, the two great empires on the Sun and Moon Continent did not keep the Soul Guidance Device technology a secret, and even encouraged the exchange of talents between the two countries, which laid the foundation for the vigorous development of the Soul Guidance Device technology.

But in the Douluo Continent today, only the blacksmiths in the Blacksmith Association are low-level Soul Masters.

Moreover, these people entered the trade through blacksmithing. While it wouldn't be difficult to teach other blacksmiths soul tool technology, most students knew nothing about blacksmithing, making this model impossible to replicate.

Not to mention the scarcity of talent, the technological blockade imposed by the two great empires alone is impossible to resolve.

The Star Luo Empire has already staked everything on the Clear Sky Sect's hidden weapons, and hasn't shared them with the Heaven Dou Empire or the Spirit Hall. Given this selfishness, Wu Qi naturally wouldn't share his soul tool technology with them.

Now that Zhao Chenggong can no longer return to the Sun Moon Continent, it can be said that the entire Soul Master Association is working in isolation, and naturally needs to make corresponding changes according to local conditions.

"I don't know what soul tool technology will look like in ten years, so I can't give Uncle Ning a precise answer. However, if Uncle Ning is willing, you can select ten disciples from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who have talent in cultivating spiritual power. I will arrange for them to enter the Soul Guidance Department to study as initial talent training."

"Furthermore, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will have ten slots every two years. However, these slots cannot be transferred to other forces; only disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can come." "Once the talent for cultivating soul-guided artifacts is developed, we will discuss new conditions. Of course, we will also allocate more slots to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for further study and will help the Seven Treasure Academy open relevant courses."

The Soul Guidance Department is still in its infancy, and no one knows how it will develop in the future. Only time will tell. Wu Qi's arrangement is reasonable, and Ning Fengzhi could not find any fault with it.

"In that case, I thank Your Holiness for your kindness. I will arrange for my disciple to study at the Spirit Hall Academy within a quarter of the year at most."

Wu Qi nodded slightly, then added, "The talents cultivated at the beginning will become the cornerstone of the soul master world on the continent in the future. In addition, soul tools are inherently dependent on talent. If these ten disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School cannot keep up with the teaching progress or do not have the relevant talent, they will be eliminated."

"I hope Uncle Ning can understand that soul tool technology has broad application prospects in the future. The talents trained in the early stage will become teachers in the soul tool department in the future, so we must raise the training standards for them."

Ning Fengzhi had no objection to this.

Competition is everywhere; those who lack ability will be eliminated, and they can only blame themselves for their incompetence.

Whether it's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School or other major forces, they all have internal talent cultivation systems, and naturally they will ruthlessly eliminate those with poor talent.

For Ning Fengzhi, the next ten candidates need to be carefully selected to avoid a "total defeat".

However, Wu Qi didn't impose too many restrictions, such as limiting the age of the candidates. To be on the safe side, Ning Fengzhi would definitely select relatively powerful high-ranking members from within the sect.

If it weren't for concerns about the impact on him, Ning Fengzhi would have even considered enrolling in the university.

……

Star Forest.

Tang San and Tang Xiao, uncle and nephew, came here to hunt souls.

Fearing that Tang San might run into trouble, Sea Dragon Douluo also followed them.

With the three Super Douluos joining forces, they would have a fighting chance even against a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Of course, if a 100,000-year-old soul beast were to actually appear, it would not be a bad thing for the three of them, but rather a fortunate one.

Without the pressure of survival, the three walked through the forest with a relaxed demeanor, occasionally exchanging a few jokes.

"By the way, Uncle, there's something I don't understand."

Upon entering the forest, Tang San clearly noticed that the number of Soul Hunting Teams guarding the Soul Beast Town had decreased significantly compared to before.

Logically, after the end of the continental war, a large number of idle Soul Masters should have flocked to the Soul Beast Town, instead of the current situation.

Clearly, Wu Qi's strategy worked.

Most Soul Hunting Teams are willing to accept the control of the banking sector, and with the continuous establishment of branches of the Spirit Hall Bank, the self-management model of Soul Hunting Teams has become a thing of the past. Under the control of the bank, although their behavior is restricted, they can earn more money, so most legal and compliant teams naturally do not resist this.

The teams still remaining in Soul Beast Town are most likely problematic to begin with, afraid to join the bank for fear of being purged. (End of Chapter)
