Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 357 Dai Huabin: Sir, don't you know he's my brother? I need more money! Xu Jiujiu: What's done is done.
"Boom~"

A thunderous roar echoed from within the dark clouds.

"Can it really withstand it?" Old Du's lips twitched. Good heavens, judging from the amount of elements, it must have attracted at least twelve lightning tribulations.

Even an ordinary Super Douluo would likely be blasted to smithereens; only a Limit Douluo could barely withstand it…

But the next moment.

Giant purple vines rose from the ground.

Xiao Zi's voice trembled with excitement: "This is... a lightning tribulation!!! My most, most, most favorite lightning tribulation! Master, I love you to death, can we have more of this in the future?"

"Don't worry, there's plenty." Su Wen gently wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath. It wasn't that the Heavenly Forging was tiring; it was purely the Heavenly Forging incorporating twelve elements that was tiring...

Above the Heavenly Forging, there is also Heavenly Forging.

This level of forging skill is probably far beyond the reach of even the legendary craftsman Du, who was the master craftsman of this era, and Zhenhua, who would achieve it ten thousand years later...

After all, no one is like Su Wen, a true all-rounder with no weaknesses! He controls more than twelve elements and is so powerful that his physical and mental strength rivals or even surpasses that of a Limit Douluo.

And... its own built-in lightning "absorber".

"Boom!"

Thunder roared incessantly in the sky, as if it too possessed sentience. Sensing the provocative aura emanating from the giant purple vine below, a bolt of colorful lightning, like a giant dragon, crashed down upon it.

"Ah~ so good~!!"

Xiao Zi's voice trembled; this truly gave her a thrill. To advance in cultivation, the Thunderous Hell Vine required being immersed in a sea of ​​thunder, constantly training and honing its skills.

Unlike other soul beasts, which have an innate fear of lightning tribulations, they actually look forward to them.

"what!!!"

Seemingly angered by the colorful lightning in the sky, another bolt of lightning struck down.

Xiao Zi cried out in surprise, but the pain quickly turned into energy and surged into Zi Zhu's body.

Colorful lightning struck the purple bamboo, transforming into strange, colorful patterns that lashed out relentlessly, yet became nourishment for the bamboo to grow stronger...

"Hiss... It's quite noticeable that even the soul power of my second martial soul has increased." Su Wen was slightly surprised.

Currently, his soul power is around level 73. After the lightning tribulation is over, he should be able to increase by at least two or three levels.

"Come on!" Xiao Zi transformed into a slender and beautiful girl with a single ponytail, dressed in a purple outfit, and raised her middle finger towards the sky.

"Boom!"

As the twelve bolts of lightning struck down, the colorful thunderclouds grew increasingly speechless and annoyed, heading away into the distance, no longer paying attention to the purple-clad girl who was still provoking them from the same spot.

Monster, pervert, monster...

They have never encountered such a creature since the tribulations of heaven and earth.

"Oh, don't go!" Little Purple said reluctantly.

At this moment, her true form was radiating a faint colored halo, and the destructive power of thunder was slowly merging into her body, transforming into her own reserve of energy.

"Beastmaster..."

Mr. Du was speechless.

"Is it too late to switch sides now?"

"We Beast Tamers don't accept nobodies," Su Wen joked with a smile. "Of course, if Elder Du is willing, he can also use the Poké Balls from the Pokémon Tower to capture Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest to aid his cultivation..."

"Tsk, I'm really envious." Old Du looked at Su Wen and the piece of colorful metal in front of him, his face full of envy.

"Such a level of Heavenly Forging is rarely seen throughout history..."

"is it?"

Su Wen held the piece of metal in his palm, his eyes filled with admiration.

This familiar feeling...

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's like one's own "Nascent Soul" in a cultivation novel, with a shared mind and spirit, as if another version of oneself has truly been born.

That's terrifyingly strong. If you were to forge it all day long and create a complete battle armor, wow!

"However, the technology for manufacturing battle armor... we still have to go back ten thousand years to learn it. Innovating behind closed doors can never compete with the wisdom of the times."

……

"You are...the Holy Spirit Cult!!"

Dai Huabin, clad in heavy armor, stared solemnly at the several black-robed figures that had suddenly appeared in the tent opposite him. He slowly placed his hands behind his back and began to circulate his soul power.

"Why is the Second Young Master so wary? We've heard that your martial soul has also undergone a mutation of the dark attribute, which perfectly matches the entry criteria of our Holy Spirit Sect. Perhaps if you come, you could even become a Holy Son or something..."

The leader, dressed in black, spoke in a cold tone with a sinister laugh.

"I am a righteous man!! The son of the White Tiger Duke, how could I collude with a bunch of sewer rats like you? If word got out, wouldn't that ruin my reputation?" Dai Huabin said with an upright expression, but he remained seated and showed no intention of making a move.

The two men in black robes exchanged a smile; clearly, they had found the right person.

"pat~"

The leader of the black-robed men tossed out a soul-guided storage ring, saying in an extremely tempting tone, "Inside are thirty million gold soul coins, and enough equipment to arm a five-hundred-man soul master regiment. If you can help me kill someone, then..."

"They're all yours!"

Dai Huabin's expression was indifferent, as if he was weighing the pros and cons, his sharp eyes fixed on the person opposite him: "I wonder who you intend to kill, sir?"

“The guy who now commands the remnants of your father, Duke White Tiger’s, army and is still stubbornly resisting my army… Dai Yueheng.”

"Who?" Dai Huabin frowned, his face calm as still water. "Doesn't your Excellency know that he is my elder brother?"

"Heh, stop pretending. We're the same kind of people, why would we care about these things?" The man in black robes opposite him curled his lips.

"No, sir, you've probably misunderstood," Dai Huabin said calmly.

"He's my most beloved older brother! Killing him... I'd have to pay extra!"

"Pfft hahaha!"

The two people opposite were grinning from ear to ear.

Dai Huabin revealed a sinister smile: "I guarantee I'll bring his head back to you..."

Since being expelled from Shrek Academy by Su Wen, and with a notice that caused a great uproar throughout the Star Luo Empire, he was forced to have his father give him thirty lashes, and then, ignoring his mother's advice, he was thrown into the frontier for trials.

The disdain in his elder brother Dai Yueheng's eyes was impossible to hide.

The brotherhood that had grown thinner in Japan has become increasingly distant.

Not to mention that her father had already disappeared and was being pursued and besieged by the enemy; he was probably already dead in the deep mountains.

"Alright, let's add another three hundred sets of full equipment for level five Soul Masters and above, including Soul Guidance Rays, long-range Soul Guidance Cannons, healing items of the same level, and invincible shields... How about it, Commander Dai, is our sincerity enough?"

"What did you call me?" Dai Huabin asked, bewildered.

“Commander Dai! After you kill Dai Yueheng, won’t you be able to command the remaining remnants of the White Tiger Duke’s forces? If we don’t call you Commander Dai, what should we call you?”

"Marshal Dai? Or..."

"Hahaha!" Dai Huabin laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

"Then I wish Commander Dai success in his mission." The man in black robes smiled, realizing they were birds of a feather and had been successfully turned.

The White Tiger Duke's army of 100,000 is indeed not to be underestimated.

Even though they lured the enemy deep into their territory and wiped out most of their elite core forces, Dai Yueheng still managed to organize an effective resistance against them, which at one point even caused the Holy Spirit Cult to suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, it is still worthwhile to take down this tough nut with minimal losses.

"Don't worry, I will kill him..."

……

"Princess Jiu Jiu, it's been a long time."

Su Wen said with a smile.

Poseidon Pavilion.

The Golden Wooden House. In the spacious hall, a girl dressed in a purple gown of court etiquette from the Star Luo Empire, wearing women's leather shoes, with her hair in a bun, her purple eyes sparkling, and her fair, swan-like neck looking up at Su Wen, was gently pursing her red lips, her expression complex.

"Yes, it's been a long time..."

"I haven't seen you since the competition ended."

Su Wen looked emotional.

Who would have thought that a mere few years would feel like an eternity to him?

From ten thousand years ago, to ten thousand years later.

However, we have somewhat neglected this century.

His impression of Xu Jiujiu was quite good; she possessed political acumen, understood the bigger picture, and was noble and elegant. As a princess of a nation, she was undoubtedly qualified…

But unfortunately...

"Since you're here, I don't need to put on any pretense." Su Wen revealed a smile, which he then slowly concealed, calmly looking down at Xu Jiujiu.

"Submit, or... perish."

"..."

After a long while, her red lips parted wide, her beautiful purple eyes filled with shock. She had never imagined that Su Wen would say such a direct thing.

However, with her keen mind, she quickly realized that it was extinction, not death.

That means that if they do not submit, the other party will not kill them, but will let the Star Luo Empire, this behemoth, slowly die at the hands of the Sun Moon Empire.

He didn't care who was emperor.

The only difference is whether or not one can submit to him!
"Ha ha……"

Seeing that Xu Jiu was deep in thought, Su Wen did not press him further, but said softly, "I will give you time to think it over. After you go back, convey the message to the Xu family..."

"I do!!"

The girl in the audience suddenly raised her head, her bright purple eyes, like those of a violet, fixed on Su Wen.

Yes, she had to consider whether this was the only opportunity the Star Luo Empire had in thousands of years...

To dominate the entire continent.

Even if they are subject to Shrek.

but……

If this opportunity slips through the fingers of the Star Luo Empire, then what awaits is the destruction of the nation.

They've been wrong all along.

How wrong.

Shrek Academy has never taken a stand on any particular side; it is a truly neutral academy.

Their ambition is to conquer the entire continent and all its powers.

Now, under Su Wen's leadership, Shrek Academy, which has been lying dormant for many years, is about to reveal its true strength for the first time.

It brought shock to the entire continent.

A unique existence that transcends all other powers, and so on.

In a daze, I seemed to recall a colossal entity long forgotten in history, now instigating the Sun and Moon Empire to wage war, but having long since lost its rightful place...

Spirit Hall!
Su Wen is trying to replicate the Spirit Hall!

“You’re very smart, and you guessed all this…” Su Wen smiled as he looked at Xu Jiujiu’s face, his voice filled with admiration, “But don’t you really need to go back and discuss it with Xu Jiawei?”

"I will do my best to persuade my brother." Xu Jiujiu's eyes were resolute.

"The Star Luo Empire had no choice."

"Especially when faced with absolute power..."

"However, I have a question." Xu Jiujiu took a deep breath: "If Shrek Academy were to switch all its resources, how many days would it take to destroy the Sun Moon Empire?"

Su Wen stroked his chin, considering the travel time... "One day is enough."

"There are no more questions."

After a long while, she slowly lowered her head and knelt before Su Wen. This most noble princess of the Star Luo Empire, representing the Star Luo Empire, offered her loyalty.

"Then how can I trust you?" Su Wen leaned back tactically, his eyes indifferent, and slowly extended his finger to lift the girl's chin.

"My purpose in coming here is to offer myself..." After a long while, she raised her head, a hint of shyness flashing in her beautiful violet eyes.

"Empty talk will naturally fail to gain your trust."

"The biggest surprise from the Star Luo Empire this time is myself, its princess..."

"If you can leave behind an heir to succeed the Star Luo Empire, you would trust him even more, wouldn't you?"

"..."

Su Wen sighed, his hands clasped behind his back.

"I am not one to force anyone. These so-called power-for-sex transactions were not my original intention. Even if they are of the bloodline of your Star Luo Empire, it doesn't matter..."

"But I'm willing!!" Xu Jiujiu gritted her teeth, her purple eyes glaring at Su Wen with a mixture of shame and annoyance.

So clueless about romance.

She's already gone this far.

Did the other side think she wasn't doing it voluntarily?

If it weren't for her own choice, she wouldn't have come here and said such shameful things...

Do you really think she's despicable?
"Ok?"

Su Wen was bewildered.

“After giving birth to a child, I will return to the Star Luo Empire, or I can stay here. Anyway… all you need to know is that the future Star Luo Emperor is of your bloodline.” Xu Jiujiu became increasingly ashamed and angry.

"Try to cook the raw rice into cooked rice first?!" Su Wen was even more dumbfounded.

No wonder Xu Jiujiu said she had a way to absolutely persuade Xu Jiawei.

It turns out she went home with her belly protruding.

This is this...

"Would it be wrong to do this?" Su Wen asked, looking conflicted.

"I'm a girl and I'm not shy, what are you afraid of!" Xu Jiujiu stood up directly, getting even closer to Su Wen: "Is having a baby difficult?"

"Ah..." Su Wen's throat bobbed.

The aura of life and death that had just been in his hands was gone.

I'm a little confused.

Is it really that much money they're willing to pay out of their own pockets?

Xu Jiawei probably never expected this, right?
"I've already said what I wanted to say. If you don't want me, I won't live either. Even a princess of the Star Luo Empire has her pride," Xu Jiujiu said angrily.

"Trying to make it a done deal?" Su Wen suddenly interrupted.

"Hmm." Xu Jiujiu still had her arms crossed over her chest, looking somewhat annoyed.

“Let’s go then,” Su Wen said earnestly.

"Huh?! Now?" Xu Jiujiu's purple eyes widened.

“Hmm…” Su Wen nodded.

"No, right, right here?!" Xu Jiujiu's throat bobbed, his face turning increasingly red.

“No, let’s go to the bedroom,” Su Wen said with a smile.

"I'll get you back to report as soon as possible."
