Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 258 The Flourishing New Tang Sect, Goddess of Light and King of Sunfire (3 words)

Shrek City.

Two more years have passed, and during this time, Shrek Academy has been developing rapidly.

Perhaps due to the three previous provocations, or for some other reason, Shrek Academy had been holding its breath, and the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department were completely integrated in just over four years.

This time, however, without a brainwashing figure like Huo Yuhao willing to risk his life to help them steal soul tool blueprints and seize various rare metals, Shrek Academy's soul tool development has always been at a bottleneck. It can only be said that it is much better than other academies and countries, but it is obviously not as good as the Sun Moon Empire.

Xuanzi, the master of the Sea God Pavilion, even considered taking a few portions from the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, but was persuaded to stop by the elders.

To put it simply, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was eager to conduct exchange student activities before, but after the Soul Battle Tournament, they immediately turned their backs on them. Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department was unable to learn cutting-edge technologies and could only work in isolation.

But their resentment wasn't limited to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy; it also extended to Wang Dong'er and those who chose to publicly announce their withdrawal from Shrek Academy during the competition.

With the merging of the two factions within Shrek Academy, the development of the New Tang Sect is also progressing steadily.

As the sect leader, Bei Bei, backed by Shrek Academy, recruited many students into the New Tang Sect, including both outer court students and inner court disciples.

He Caitou's teacher, Fan Yu, also joined in and quickly mastered the production of most of the Tang Sect's mechanical hidden weapons. He was appointed by Bei Bei as the head of the Tang Sect's Soul Guidance Hidden Weapon Hall, while He Caitou became the deputy head.

Meanwhile, due to Fan Yu's connection, Zhou Yi, the stern-faced teacher, also joined the Tang Sect and became its head instructor, responsible for teaching the disciples combat skills.

Seeing the thriving new Tang Sect in Shrek City, both Bei Bei and the elders of the Sea God Pavilion were overjoyed.

In the past two years, the Shrek Seven Devils, who were preparing to participate in the competition, have also made considerable progress in their strength.

Although due to time constraints and lack of talent, none of the Shrek Seven Devils except He Caitou learned how to make soul tools, they did learn how to use them.

With the comprehensive development of the Soul Guidance System and the full support of the entire Shrek Academy, even the weakest, Cao Jinxuan, now has a cultivation level of over fifty Soul Kings.

Dai Huabin has already reached the Soul Emperor level.

Xu Sanshi and He Caitou, who were both older than Dai Huabin, were also Soul Emperors.

As for the team captain, Bei Bei's cultivation level is already on the verge of becoming a Soul Saint. Before the official start of the competition, he will definitely be able to step into the Soul Saint level.

No one knows how Beibei did it, since Beibei is often elusive and hard to find. However, considering that he received a gift from the former Sea God Pavilion Master and that his martial soul has been evolved and nourished, it doesn't seem so strange.

As for the substitutes, they were at most Soul Kings, and the rest were even Soul Masters. It was only because Shrek Academy fed them a few Soul Upgrade Pills that they were able to barely keep up with the level and try to reach level 50 before the Soul Battle Tournament officially started, so as to hunt for Soul Rings and become Soul Kings.

Judging from their strength on paper, Shrek Academy's lineup for this competition can be considered the strongest in its history.

One quasi-Soul Saint, three Soul Emperors, three Soul Kings, and even the substitutes are Soul Kings and quasi-Soul Kings. Even the group of Soul Masters at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy who like to take drugs couldn't possibly achieve that.

Who can stop us in this year's Soul Fighting Tournament?

However, the Sun Moon Empire Tournament Organizing Committee had already issued a notice that the format and rules of this year's Soul Fighting Tournament would be changed, and the other three empires had also agreed to the new format and rules.

In the past, the Soul Battle Tournament was only participated in by the major Soul Master Academies on the continent. However, this time, the tournament organizing committee has added a rule to allow the major sects on the continent to send young Soul Masters to form teams to participate.

With more teams participating, the competition will become even more intense. The elimination tournament format used in the first round of the previous Soul Fighting Tournament will continue until the top 32 teams are determined.

Next, the 32 teams will be divided into four groups, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the quarterfinals.

After the preliminary rounds, group stage and finals, the rules of these competitions were all changed to individual elimination rounds plus team competitions.

In each preliminary round match, each team can only send seven players, and once the roster is finalized, it cannot be changed.

In the individual elimination rounds, each of the two teams needs to send one player to the field and fight one after another until they are defeated or voluntarily concede defeat.

Each player on the field earns one point for each victory. Teams that win all individual elimination matches receive an additional two points after each victory.

After the individual elimination rounds, there is no rest time. The team competition is based on the seven players who registered for the individual competition. If a team has fewer than seven players due to injuries, they can field as many players as they have. The winning team receives five points.

After the match, the team with the higher score advances to the next round. This rule shows that this year's Soul Fighting Tournament places greater emphasis on individual skill compared to previous tournaments.

In order to achieve the best results in the competition, the Sea God Pavilion decided to provide some additional resources to the substitute team members. At the same time, all the students who are about to be promoted, including Bei Bei, will be led by the Sea God Pavilion Master Xuan Zi to hunt souls after reaching their bottlenecks.

……

In the two years since then, some changes have taken place in Mingdu.

The various soul-guided streetlights and other props that originally used soul power as their energy source have all been replaced with solar-powered electricity, but they still retain the function of injecting and converting soul power.

Refrigerators, typewriters, electric fans, and other emerging technological products are gradually entering the lives of ordinary people.

However, along with the development and promotion of these emerging technological products, a name called "Spark" has also become widely known.

Many people are speculating that "Spark" is the researcher who developed these emerging technologies, while others speculate that the "Spark" organization collaborated with Mingdetang to produce these emerging technology products.

Because all of these products are decorated with a cluster of golden-red flames and the words "fireworks" written on them, like some kind of label.

These are the things that the research team led by Wang Dong'er has been working on.

Originally, these technologies were not enough to be fully developed in such a short time. However, with Wang Dong'er in charge of the overall direction, coupled with her precise descriptions of certain aspects, and finally supplemented by the three universal weapons of Soul Masters, Soul Power, and Soul Guidance Devices, the rapid progress of technology was obvious.

In addition to these technologies that have already entered the civilian market, ultra-large hydroelectric generators, wind turbines, and photovoltaic generators are all being tested, while steam locomotives, internal combustion engines, airplanes, and so on are also under intensive research.

However, these scientific researches are divided into two parts. One part, like Wang Dong'er's previous life, uses various energy sources and is at a level that ordinary people can also use.

The other one is specifically designed to use soul power as the main energy source, attempting to expand further.

With a universal energy source like soul power, and soul masters and soul instructors with various abilities, these technologies can undoubtedly be further developed on the original basis.

"Spark" was the code name that Wang Dong'er chose.

Even Wang Dong'er herself was unaware that, through word of mouth, she had acquired two more nicknames.

Goddess of Light, Lord of the Sun!
A goddess who spreads light and hope to the world, a king of fire that shines like the sun upon the world!
As the forefront of soul guidance technology, Mingdu is the most receptive to new technologies. And the research conducted in Mingde Hall is all funded by the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire. Wang Dong'er doesn't care at all; it's a very generous investment.

As the apparent "representative," Jing Hongchen successfully drew the attention of the royal family to him, causing various princes to vie for his favor.

Under these circumstances, Xu Tianran lost the idea of ​​meeting Wang Dong'er and began to do everything he could to win over Jing Hongchen, lest Jing Hongchen side with the other princes and become a threat to him.

Orange had already joined the army and taken the holy servants who had been rescued from various places with her. They formed a personal guard that was scattered throughout the army and even managed to keep Xu Tianran's spies in the dark.

Wherever she received accurate information, Wang Dong'er would lead her people to destroy the Holy Spirit Cult's branches in Tian Dou City, Xing Luo City, and even the Dou Ling Empire, while leaving behind the Shrek Supervision Group's name. However, she only managed to destroy two or three locations.

The Holy Spirit Cult seems to be operating very quietly. These branches are actually very peripheral branches and cannot be said to be truly controlled by the upper echelons.

However, groups like the Xishui Alliance in the Mingdu underground black market, which actually have high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Cult, are very scattered and cannot be gathered and destroyed all at once. Not to mention that most of the Xishui Alliance members who come out to operate are ordinary soul masters who are not even evil soul masters. Killing them would only alert them.

In addition, with the help of Xu Jiujiu, Vina and the Body Sect also took notice of the Holy Spirit Cult, an organization of evil soul masters.

Although the Body Sect is capricious and cannot be definitively called good or bad, it will not allow organizations like the Holy Spirit Cult to cause trouble within the Heavenly Soul Empire.

However, since several of its branches were destroyed, not only the Holy Spirit Cult, but even the Evil Soul Masters have basically disappeared without a trace, and no clues can be found.

According to long-term observation, almost all the officials in the Star Luo Empire, whether military generals or civil officials, are now Soul Masters who graduated from Shrek Academy. Only the middle and lower-ranking officials are Soul Masters who graduated from their own royal academy.

This step was not accomplished overnight, but rather took decades at a very slow pace.

As the Holy Spirit Cult disappeared, Dai Yueheng, who had been relatively quiet since joining the army, began to distinguish himself. He won several small-scale conflicts with the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire, and after each victory, he would massacre the enemy, earning him the title of "God of Slaughter."
