Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 120 Stealing

Gu Yuena and Di Qiu'er felt that the Dragon God's soul began to release terrifying energy continuously, and this energy did not stop or waste at all, but rushed into his body at an extremely fast speed.

They felt an immense surge of dragon god power flowing into their bodies.

Upon seeing this, the ten dragon kings respectfully prostrated themselves on the spot, as if they were paying homage to their monarch.

With the infusion of the Dragon God's power, Gu Yuena's body became even stronger. Soon after they had absorbed it, a man with colorful hair appeared in front of them.

He was a middle-aged man with a dignified face and clear, unadulterated eyes that shone with a nine-colored divine light, encompassing all things and seemingly containing boundless wisdom and power.

Wearing a nine-colored robe that fluttered in the wind, she exuded an extraordinary and refined aura.

"Lord Dragon God, you are still alive."

The Dragon God looked at the Ten Dragon Kings, Gu Yuena, and Di Qiu'er, then gazed in one direction, slightly shocked, before looking at Gu Yuena and saying, "You are the half of my body that Shura once severed."

"Junior Gu Yuena greets the Dragon God."

"Greetings, Lord Dragon God."

Gu Yuena and the Ten Dragon Kings bowed respectfully.

It is like a subject meeting his king.

The Dragon God paused for a moment before asking the question that concerned him most.

"Could you tell me how the dragon race is doing now?"

"If we don't count the true dragons here in Dragon Valley, there are very few dragons nowadays."

Gu Yuena told the Dragon God about the current situation of the Dragon Clan.

A trace of sorrow flashed in the remnant soul of the dragon god's eyes. He looked up at the dragon heads in the space and finally let out a long sigh: "As expected, it has come to this."

Wait a minute, the Dragon God remembered a key point from Gu Yuena's words. He asked, "Lightning tribulation? What's going on?"

Gu Yuena said, "Wasn't this what you did?"

The Dragon God shook his head and said, "It wasn't me. I did say that before the next Dragon God appears, soul beasts cannot become gods. But there is indeed no such thing as a tribulation of lightning. I didn't set it up. Basically, the maximum cultivation time is only a million years."

Gu Yuena said, "It seems that it was set up by those hypocritical gods in the heavens, who set up this tribulation for us. Now, we soul beasts have another rule: soul beasts will all experience some tribulation when they break through the 100,000-year limit..."

"This is outrageous!" The Dragon God was furious when he heard these words.

"Shura, oh Shura, I shouldn't have trusted you back then."

The Dragon God was furious. Although he had prevented the soul beasts from becoming gods in order to eliminate the threat to their divine realm, he had not expected that they would dare to do this.

But he only has a wisp of remnant soul now, and he doesn't even have one-tenth of his combat power. Unless he finds a physical body first and slowly recovers his strength over the years.

"By the way, here I feel a bloodline that is even stronger than mine."

………………

Meanwhile, at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Fan Yu is researching soul tools, and at Shrek Academy, he is a leader in the field of soul tool masters.

Because the strongest Soul Master at Shrek Academy is only an eighth-level Soul Master, he actually holds a very high position among the Soul Masters at Shrek Academy.

However, at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, he was the weakest level eight Soul Master, mainly because Shrek Academy's standards for evaluating Soul Masters were lower than those of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

So here, he, the so-called Shrek Academy team leader, is actually a humble "student" seeking knowledge.

In fact, one could argue that even the sixth-level soul masters at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy could surpass him.

During this period, he learned a lot about soul tools at Mingde Hall, and he gained a lot. He felt that his skill in making soul tools had indeed improved by leaps and bounds.

However, learning about soul tools is only icing on the cake. He felt that if he wanted to develop Shrek Academy's soul tool department, he would have to take a risk.

Previously, Elder Xuan and Dean Qian had also considered this idea: to "take" some blueprints from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to better improve Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department.

He looked up and surveyed his surroundings, noticing that some researchers had left their workstations to rest. It was already noon, and most had gone to eat, leaving only Fan Yu and He Caitou in Mingde Hall.

Fan Yu immediately coughed a few times. He Cai Tou, who was studying the soul tool diligently, looked up when he heard the noise, glanced at his teacher Fan Yu, and the two exchanged a brief look. He Cai Tou immediately understood what Fan Yu meant.

The two had agreed yesterday to take advantage of the researcher's absence to "take some" blueprints from Mingde Hall and then send them back to the academy to help develop the academy's soul tools.

After all, the development of soul tools requires a lot of time and effort, while "getting some" blueprints can greatly accelerate the development of Shrek Academy's soul tool department.

As for the consequences, this is just a temporary arrangement; once they achieve their goal, they will "return" it.

The last time a demigod Douluo level nine soul master put pressure on Xuanzi, and Kong Deming defeated two god-level powerhouses, made the Shrek Academy people realize that the era of soul tools is unstoppable. If it is for the future of the academy, even stealing soul tool blueprints is a commendable thing.

The Sun Moon Empire harbors wolfish ambitions and will inevitably become a scourge. In the future, it will definitely go to war with the Three Kingdoms of Douluo and attempt to unify the Douluo Continent.

However, Shrek Academy believes that Douluo Continent should have multiple empires. If Douluo Continent only has one empire, that would undoubtedly be an extremely bad thing.

At that time, the entire force will be constrained.

Therefore, Fan Yu believes that by "obtaining" the blueprints now, they can quickly develop Shrek Academy's soul tools. Once these soul tools are used in future wars, they can reduce casualties in the Douluo Three Kingdoms and even hinder the Sun Moon Empire's plan to unify the Douluo Continent in the future.

He has a clear conscience and his actions are entirely reasonable.

Soon, the two began their plan to "take" the blueprints. The process was carried out in an extremely secretive manner, but it put a lot of psychological pressure on He Caitou. Although he disliked the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire, stealing was something that had never happened to him before.

After all, he used to be Xu He, who could basically have whatever he wanted and didn't need to steal anything.

He subconsciously glanced at Fan Yu out of the corner of his eye and found that Fan Yu's movements in "taking" the blueprints were very skillful, and Fan Yu was extremely calm. It didn't seem like Fan Yu was stealing, but rather taking what was his own, doing something he could be ashamed of.

Fan Yu noticed He Cai Tou's state and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Cai Tou, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and get to work."

Remember, everything we do is for the future of Shrek Academy!
Don't feel guilty, just get to work. Taking the soul tool blueprints isn't stealing; we're soul masters, it's a soul master's job, how can that be called stealing?

He Caitou instinctively felt that there was something wrong with what Teacher Fanyu said, but when he thought of his deceased parents and how good Shrek Academy had been to him, he stopped talking and started working silently.

"For the sake of the academy, and to avenge Xu Tianran and his son, we must steal the blueprints!" His mind raced with thoughts.

Then the master and apprentice began to steal the blueprints continuously. The blueprints basically contained the inscription methods for the core arrays of various soul tools. For any soul tool, the core array is always the most important thing.

But He Caitou gradually became proficient, and he also had a soul tool in his hand, which his father had given him before, called the Eye of Record.

A level six soul tool can copy all the blueprints one by one and record them clearly.

During the theft, they also obtained a blueprint for a one-word battle armor. Although they didn't know what it was, it still had some value.

But they seemed to have forgotten that the Mingde Hall, the most important building in the Sun Moon Empire, would have absolutely no security measures.

Soul Guidance Monitoring Room.

Jing Hongchen frowned slightly as he watched Fan Yu and He Caitou "taking" the blueprints on the screen.

Xia Die had mentioned to him before that, in order to prevent smuggling, he had specially installed some extremely hidden soul-guided surveillance equipment inside Mingde Hall, which could basically achieve surveillance without blind spots. This was not because he didn't trust the researchers; it was a necessary measure.

In fact, soul-guided monitoring doesn't involve much technology. In essence, it's not much different from the light-guided screens in the Starlight Auction House. So, Jing Hongchen didn't spend many gold soul coins to secretly install some soul-guided monitoring in Mingde Hall.

As for the more advanced ones, that's a bit troublesome. The kind that can be made by stealth is something only Niye in the entire Sun Moon Empire can do.

We still asked the anonymous elder to arrange a few.

Of course, not many people know that the Soul Guidance Monitoring exists. Even among the researchers in Mingde Hall, not every one of them knows that the monitoring exists. So it is actually quite normal that Fan Yu and He Caitou do not know that there is monitoring in Mingde Hall.

“I never expected that Fan Yu and He Caitou, who came from Shrek Academy, would actually steal blueprints inside Mingde Hall. However, given Xuanzi’s actions, it’s not surprising that you would do the same. Xiao Meng, what do you think I should do to punish them?” Jing Hongchen asked without turning his head.

Meng Hongchen, who was watching the screen, said with dissatisfaction, "Naturally, they should be punished according to the laws of the Sun Moon Empire. Those blueprints are the hard work of the researchers. Fan Yu and He Caitou stole these blueprints, definitely to send them back to Shrek Academy."

If one day the researchers learn that Shrek Academy has seized their hard-earned research results through such despicable means, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to them. Moreover, there's also the blueprint for A-Die's One-Word Battle Armor. Although those people from Douluo Continent and the Three Kingdoms might not be able to figure it out, it's still something that cannot be ignored.

The researchers at Mingde Hall are all talented Soul Masters. However, even for talented Soul Masters, designing some very useful Soul Tools is not a simple task.

Of course, Xia Die is an exception.
