Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 173 The Three Kingdoms Axis Alliance, Soul Orb

The situation on the mainland is changing dramatically every moment.

Since the Three Kingdoms joined forces with Shrek Academy to thoroughly eliminate evil spirit masters, they have also tasted the benefits.

This already fragile alliance, under Shrek's leadership, began to develop in an even more bizarre direction.

Perhaps wanting to seize the opportunity to gain more initiative, or perhaps having had this idea all along, the Three Kingdoms finally felt the pressure as they watched the Sun and Moon Kingdom develop rapidly.

Under Shrek's call, the three kingdoms gradually began to form a strange axial military alliance.

With the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire as the vanguard, the Dou Ling Empire as the reserve, and Shrek Academy as the core, a general military program was established: if the Sun and Moon Empires launch an attack on any of the three countries, the other two countries must provide support to the attacked country.

If the Sun and Moon factions were to wage war against two of the three kingdoms simultaneously, Shrek Academy would have the authority to call upon its graduates to counter the Sun and Moon factions' growing ambitions.

Does it look familiar? That's right, it's exactly the same situation as four thousand years ago. However, the Three Kingdoms is still the Three Kingdoms, and Shrek Academy is still Shrek Academy, but the Sun and Moon are no longer the same.

In this process, the Body Sect also began to drift further and further away from the Heavenly Soul Empire.

The reason is simple: the exchange student program between the Body Sect and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has been launched.

For three years, until the start of the next Continental Soul Master Tournament, the Sun Moon Sect and the Body Sect will conduct an exchange program for outstanding disciples.

Sun Moon Sect will learn from the advantages of Heavenly Soul and Body Sect's martial souls, while Body Sect will select Body Martial Soul Masters who are good at mental power to learn the cutting-edge research and application of soul tools.

As mentioned earlier, the three kingdoms formed a temporary military alliance, which made Tianhun very dissatisfied with the exchange student program. This is also the main reason why he gradually drifted away from the Body Sect and developed a rift with it.

Tianhun was not unaware of the power of the Body Sect, but unfortunately, the Body Sect did not want to pay any attention to Tianhun, which made those people in Tianhun feel uncomfortable.

In the eyes of the three kingdoms, Shrek Academy is on their side. Even though Shrek Academy claims to be a neutral academy and is now leading the three kingdoms to form a military alliance, it is still beneficial to the three kingdoms.

But your Body Sect has started some kind of student exchange program with Sun and Moon Sect. Isn't that a betrayal of the Three Kingdoms?

How can a sect be compared to an academy?

This is betrayal, a blatant betrayal!

When the Body Sect launched its plan, Tianhun actually intended to stop it. He even joined forces with the other two countries and Shrek Academy, and mobilized several Super Douluo to put pressure on the Body Sect.

Shrek Academy's idea is simple: now, under Xuanzi's leadership, Shrek Academy is following Mu En's dying wish and is preparing to vigorously develop the Soul Guidance System.

Although they were unwilling to admit it, deep down they still wanted to learn the advanced soul tool technology from the Sun Moon Sect. However, now that the Body Sect had taken the first bite of the "cake," Shrek felt somewhat unbalanced.

Rather than claiming to be treacherous and wanting to punish the Body Sect, it's more accurate to say they also want a share of the spoils.

However, this plan was stillborn before it even began, because the two countries besides Tianhun and Shrek Academy somehow got wind of the fact that the Sect Master of the Body Sect, Du Busi, had broken through to the level 99 Limit Douluo.

How can this be played? Shrek Academy only has Xuanzi, a level 98 Super Douluo. Xuanzi is aware of the grudges between the Body Sect and the previous Shrek Pavilion Master, namely Du Bisi and Mu En.

If they really anger Poison Undying, and it comes to Shrek Academy and goes berserk, what will Shrek Academy do to deal with it?

Shrek Academy can disregard the attitudes of minor sects and families because they cannot influence the overall situation. However, when faced with a super reclusive sect like Body Sect, which is not much weaker than Shrek Academy, Shrek Academy, now led by Xuanzi, is neither willing nor capable of provoking it.

As a result, in a short period of time, the current situation on the mainland has become a seemingly stable alliance of offense and defense among the three kingdoms, while the powerful and rapidly developing Sun and Moon are extremely threatening, with the two sides in a standoff.

The ambiguous involvement of the conservative forces led by Shrek Academy, and the reclusive sects led by the Body Sect, who were unwilling to get too involved in the politics of the Three Kingdoms.

The Three Kingdoms originally dreamed that by centering on Shrek Academy and continuously deepening their connections with the various sects within their own empires, they could recreate the situation they had four thousand years ago when war broke out in the future.

But now, with Shrek Academy's power waning and the attitude of the reclusive sects, led by the Body Sect, changed, the political situation in the three kingdoms, though unspoken, has begun to waver, and they can even feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

Whether they can withstand the war that will begin in the future is a question worth pondering.

Three months later.

Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Mingde Hall.

After months of study, with the assistance of Xuan Ziwen and an unlimited supply of metals and learning materials, Huo Yuhao advanced another level from a level 5 Soul Master to a level 6 Soul Master.

In his previous works as a Level 5 Soul Master, in addition to continuing his Soul Bone and Soul Tool fusion technology, he also researched some very novel things.

For example, from the very beginning, they were determined to use the principle of universal benefit of soul power and prepare to popularize soul tools for the common people and soul masters in the field of people's livelihood.

The research focused on developing level 5 soul tools suitable for low-level soul masters, and even high-level soul masters and soul masters could drive them. Through modular design, the research aimed to reduce manufacturing costs and was directed towards fields such as agriculture, infrastructure, and medicine.

Huo Yuhao remembered everything he said during his first class at Sun Moon Academy. Soul tools shouldn't be distorted or simply used for military purposes.

The future of soul tools lies in making them more accessible and beneficial to ordinary people and soul masters.

With this in mind, during the time he passed the Level 5 Soul Master assessment and became a Level 6 Soul Master, he tinkered with a series of user-friendly Soul Guidance Devices that could benefit the lower classes.

For example, the agricultural soul guide device series named "Abundance" integrates an amorphous compressed core array to establish a seeding unit core, driven by wind attribute soul power, which leaps up the seeding device by several levels.

The agricultural problems that would normally require dozens or even hundreds of people to solve daily in agriculture can now be accomplished with just a simple soul tool block core.

There is also an irrigation core, with water as its soul guide core; and an insect control module, with light and fire dual-attribute low-frequency pulses as its core soul guide array.

In addition to agriculture, there is also the infrastructure soul tool set named "Rock Solid" by Huo Yuhao.

It includes the core of an earthmoving device; the core of a building material synthesizer, which can solidify crushed stone and clay into standard building materials; safety armor, an automatically triggered soil-based protective shield in case of danger, etc.

Healthcare solutions that benefit the underprivileged, such as water purifiers, can continuously purify corresponding water sources after being charged, allowing people at the bottom of society to drink healthy drinking water.
In short, Huo Yuhao has come up with quite a few good things during this period.

His designs inspired many of the Soul Guidance Masters of Mingde Hall, and he single-handedly brought the distorted Soul Guidance Research System of the Sun and Moon Sect onto the right track.

Huo Yuhao's name reappeared in the sight of those lower-level soul masters and common people. Previously, he was known as the number one genius of the Sun Moon Empire. Now, he is making a sensation among lower-level soul masters and the Sun Moon Empire in a different form, thanks to those universal soul tools.

Countless people have once again come to know Huo Yuhao's name. With the Sun and Moon Sect's intention to promote him, Huo Yuhao, in terms of reputation alone, can be said to have become the most watched young generation Soul Master in the Sun and Moon Sect, apart from the royal family.

Coupled with the reputation he had built up among the higher-ups and the younger generation, his prestige is now even greater than that of some level nine soul masters.

The soul tools he created were also prevented from flowing into the original Douluo Three Kingdoms. Strategically, these things were more powerful than some simple level nine soul tools.

Those level-nine soul tools would only frighten the high-ranking officials of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, while these universal soul tools could not only improve the productivity of Sun and Moon and accelerate the widening of the gap between the two sides, but also shake the hearts of the common people at the bottom of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Mingde Hall.

Looking at his second creation after becoming a Level 6 Soul Master, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile contentedly.

"Yuhao, what is this thing?"

Xuan Ziwen was recording the data, but after looking at it for a long time, he still couldn't find anything unique about this level-six soul tool.

Previously, whether it was Fengrang or Qingshi, he could immediately identify the uses of different types of soul tools. However, he couldn't figure out the purpose of this thing no matter what he did.

They couldn't even understand the core magic array inside.

You should know that he is now a level nine Soul Master!

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly, tossed the small gadget, about the size of a marble, into the air, and then caught it steadily in his hand.

“Senior brother, I plan to name this soul tool the first generation [Soul Sphere], a soul tool container that can store special energy.”

Soul ball?

Xuan Ziwen still didn't understand, and the name sounded like someone was cursing.

What is its function?

Huo Yuhao explained, "It's a soul tool that can store soul beasts."

what!
Xuan Ziwen slammed his hand on the table and stood up in shock. A soul tool that could store soul beasts?
"Yuhao, you said you wanted to study the Conferred God Platform, was it to create something like this?"

What's the use of storing soul beasts?
Xuan Ziwen couldn't think of any future uses for such a soul tool.

"Yes and no, senior brother, don't you think the relationship between soul beasts and soul masters is too unhealthy these days?"

Some things don't need to be said too explicitly, but Xuan Ziwen clearly understood Huo Yuhao's meaning: his junior brother never makes useless soul tools.

Xuan Ziwen swallowed nervously, looked at Huo Yuhao, and said in a somewhat anxious tone.

"Yuhao, don't do anything reckless, I'm telling you."

He had some suspicions that his junior brother might be trying to disrupt the current world rules of Soul Masters absorbing Soul Rings and hunting Soul Beasts.

But how is that possible with just this soul tool called the Soul Ball?
