Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 718 The Unpredictable Situation

The Neptune Pavilion meeting lasted a long time.

This time, it lasted for almost two hours before it ended. It started in the afternoon and continued until evening before a basic framework was finalized, resulting in a satisfactory outcome for both parties.

Shrek Academy and Body Sect decided to follow the example of their previous collaboration with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and exchange a group of outstanding students and teachers to learn from each other's expertise.

The tentative timeframe is between one and two years, depending on the specific outcomes of the learning and exchange.

The communication between Soul Masters is not as long as that between Soul Mentors; it is all about enlightenment.

If you can grasp it yourself, your learning speed will be incredibly fast.

Whether it's the second awakening of a martial soul or secret techniques such as combat skills, potential activation, and soul ring enhancement, those who can master them within two years will have no problem learning them, while those who can't will basically have no hope.

While Shrek Academy may not have done much in-depth research on combat techniques, they are quite skilled in various techniques such as ring fusion and X-dimensional fusion.

Neither side will lose out by exchanging ideas.

Compared to the politically motivated exchange with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the cooperation between the Body Sect and Shrek Academy this time is clearly much more genuine.

After all, once the deal was reached that Chen Ping would exchange two prescriptions from the Ten Thousand Jun Prajna Heart Sutra for the Body Sect's Vajra Indestructible Body cultivation method, Du Busi's first thought was to take Huo Yuhao, who was also attending a meeting in the Sea God Pavilion, hoping that Huo Yuhao would go to the Body Sect to exchange and learn.

Of course, this guy's main purpose is probably to see if Huo Yuhao can inherit the Seed of Inheritance of their Body Sect. Since Long Aotian's skin spirit cannot activate the Seed of Inheritance, he can only rely on Huo Yuhao, this wild Body Spirit Master, now.

Especially after hearing that Huo Yuhao had awakened his Silver-level Second Awakening Martial Soul on his own during this period, Du Bu Si's eyes lit up as if they were about to explode.

The results of this Poseidon Pavilion meeting did not disappoint him.

Both sides agreed that if Huo Yuhao could really complete the inheritance of the Body Seed of the Body Sect, he could at least be appointed as the honorary vice sect master of the Body Sect. You can't just make the horse run without feeding it, can you?
In this way, Huo Yuhao could take the opportunity to learn some of the Body Sect's unique skills, which would also deepen the friendly exchanges and cooperation between the two sides and bridge the long-standing gap between the Body Sect and Shrek Academy. This would be a good thing for both sides, who were about to face the impending war.

Unlike Shrek Academy and the Body Sect, who were still discussing their future development plans and formulating strategies in an orderly manner, the people of the Heavenly Soul and Star Luo Empire, who had previously caused a great disturbance in Mingdu, were now somewhat worried.

The political arena within the Sun Moon Empire is in chaos, with various factions vying for power and each having their own differing opinions. One side calls for the removal of the crown prince, another for a special crackdown on evil spirit masters, yet another demands accountability for the three princes who led troops into the capital. There are also rumors that the current emperor is no longer the same as before, but a puppet of the Star Luo Empire, and that the plan to cure the old emperor was a conspiracy from the very beginning.

For a time, the calls for war were suppressed to the extreme in the entire political arena of the Sun and Moon, becoming a topic that everyone could kick.

The leaders of the Soul Master Corps were originally the strongest advocates of war, but after that incident a while ago, they are now as cowardly as quails and dare not mention war at all.

However, everyone knows that this is just an inevitable process in which the new power structure of the Sun and Moon Empire is being reshaped, and all the gods are displaying their supernatural powers. Before long, the political situation of the Sun and Moon Empire will stabilize again.

The best way to stabilize the political situation is to transform internal conflicts into external ones.

The old emperor hoped that Xu Tianran wouldn't be kicked out during his reign.

Xu Tianran's ambition was to be granted land and establish unparalleled achievements.

Although the three kings initially aimed to rebel, if they could conquer the three great empires and become powerful vassal kings ruling over two capitals and thirteen provinces, it wouldn't be much worse than being emperors on the Sun and Moon Continent. Therefore, the final outcome of this palace intrigue would inevitably be the Sun and Moon royal family throwing the entire empire's people and resources into the war machine as fuel, sounding the horn of war.

But even if both empires have discerning individuals who can see this, what can be done?
Taking advantage of the Sun Moon Empire's brief moment of panic to launch an attack?
To be honest, Xingluo and Tianhun really didn't dare.

Just as the Sun Moon Empire dared not easily cross the Mingdou Mountains, which were occupied by the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Empire also dared not easily launch an attack.

The Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided device strongholds, built on its borders over a thousand years ago, are not so easily breached.

In addition, Xu Jiawei has a deep understanding of soul tools and is even more aware of the power of the Sun Moon Empire.

At least in the mind of this monarch, he was essentially unwilling to go to war with the Sun and Moon Empire now.

He would prefer to recuperate for several hundred years and wait for Xingluo to catch up in terms of soul guidance device technology.

It would be best if no war broke out while he was still alive.

The later the battle begins, the smaller the gap between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire will become.

Even the Star Luo, the largest in Douluo Three Kingdoms, was unwilling to fight, so the Heavenly Soul was even less willing.

A general should consider defeat before victory, and thus he will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

This time, several forces joined forces to attack Mingdu, but were forced to retreat because of Mingdu's air defense system. They only managed to achieve their tactical objectives thanks to Chen Ping's intelligence; otherwise, they might have lost several more lives.

Therefore, both empires understood that sending troops to the Sun and Moon Empire at this time would only end the internal chaos within the Sun and Moon Empire more quickly and give rise to a unified voice.

The Sun Moon Empire's continuous troop buildup on its borders in recent years is no joke.

Even if the Sun Moon Imperial Family is in chaos, so what? The Sun Moon Empire has more than just the seven Soul Master Corps in the capital; there are many more Soul Master Corps guarding the borders!

Even without launching an offensive, their legions are impregnable in defensive battles.

Therefore, the tactic that the two empires ultimately agreed upon could be summed up in two words: crouch.

Rather than acting rashly and plunging headlong into the internal strife of the Sun Moon Empire, it is better to avoid such actions.

It would be better to take the time to rest and recuperate, and just like an old man, find a place where no one will notice you and squat down.

At least they already know that Shrek Academy seems to have made a fortune from the Sun Moon Empire this time, and they may be able to quickly increase their reserves of cannons and those extremely difficult-to-produce high-altitude detection soul tools.

By delaying the inevitable, and by deploying more cannons and snipers, they can ensure that their side is not completely overwhelmed and powerless to resist when the Sun Moon Empire's army presses in.

As for what to do next, Shrek Academy has already come up with flying soul tools, soul armor, anti-aircraft cannons, and high-altitude probes. Who knows, they might make another technological breakthrough in a couple of years. Let's just tough it out and hope that the internal strife within the Sun Moon Empire can continue for a while longer!
