Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

After listening to Chu Ci's words, Yu Guanzhi remained silent. He knew Chu Ci was right. Although the Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda were nominally organizations belonging to the Federation, they had never truly obeyed the Federation. In fact, the Federation was completely unaware of the internal workings of these two organizations. Unlike the War God Temple, whose internal situation and personnel composition were perfectly clear.

If the Tang Clan and the Spirit Pagoda were to gain complete legal control over law enforcement within the city, the future of the Federation would be truly uncertain.

Chu Ci noticed that Yu Guanzhi was showing some hesitation, so he immediately intensified his attack.

"Commander Yu, if the Central Legion can support the Temple of War, I can design a special soul fusion reactor for the Central Legion. With the support of the soul fusion reactor, many of the large soul tools that the Central Legion is experimenting with will make great progress."

Upon hearing this, Yu Guanzhi fell even more silent, for he was tempted.

After learning about the measures taken by the Temple of War to improve the police force, Yu Guanzhi immediately set his sights on the Soul Power Fusion Reactor.

If a soul-storing device can store massive amounts of energy at a relatively low cost, the operating cost of many large weapons will be greatly reduced, which would significantly enhance the strength of the legion.

"Commander Yu, you and our Temple Master are fellow disciples. You should know Old Chen's character very well. He would never do anything harmful to the Federation," Guan Yue said gently, her words like a spring breeze.

After pondering for a long time, Yu Guanzhi stared intently at Chu Ci and said, "Okay, but I have one more condition: this kid must design three high-end weapons for my Central Army Corps in the future."

Yu Guanzhi clearly saw the talent that Chu Ci had shown.

"Alright!" Chu Ci agreed without hesitation, since he also wanted to be on good terms with the Central Legion. As the strongest legion in the Federation, maintaining a good relationship with the Central Legion would also benefit his development.

"It's a pleasure working with you, Commander Yu!"

Yu Guanzhi stood at the entrance of the command center, watching Chu Ci and Guan Yue leave.

"Heh, Chu Ci, I hope you can lead the Temple of War to a better future."

……

With the support of the Central Army Corps, plus the support of the strongest naval force, the Poseidon Legion, Chen Xinjie returned to attend the Federal Parliament, where a proposal regarding the police was submitted to the parliament.

The factions within the Federation all learned of this news at the same time.

Shrek Academy, Seagod Island

"Hmm? The proposal to rebuild the Federal Guard Force from the Temple of War, why would Chen Xinjie make this proposal? Could it be that kid Chu Ci who did it?"

"Hmm, Brother Ming, look at the Source Soul Armor mentioned above. It's very likely that this was Chu Ci's doing."

"..."

“Okay, it’s a good thing to improve the police force and maintain public order. Shrek Academy will continue to remain neutral.”

Shrek City, Tang Sect Headquarters

"Lord of the Palace, look at this matter..."

"This matter has had virtually no impact on the Fighting Spirit Hall, so we can ignore it and maintain our current status."

Spirit Tower Headquarters

Qian Gu Dongfeng frowned as he looked at the proposal on the table and said to his subordinates, "Contact the councilors who voted for us and tell them to oppose it unless the Spirit Pagoda is allowed into the reorganized security force."

"Also, make sure our Spirit Pagoda's councilors remain neutral and don't let Chen Xinjie find out that it was the Spirit Pagoda leading the opposition against him."

Qian Gu Dongfeng stared intently at the proposal. "Long Tianwu and Su Mengjun, let these two lead the newly formed police force. Hmph, the War God Temple is willing to invest so much; it's definitely not just for maintaining order. There's definitely some other scheme behind it."

Mingdu Federal Building, Speaker's Office

The speaker clapped his hands and cheered as he looked at the proposal, "Excellent, excellent, the Temple of War did a great job. This way, we will have a better way to contain the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy."

"But the Temple of War has a monopoly on the police force, which isn't good."

The Speaker waved his hand dismissively, "The Temple of War is the backbone of the Federation and is utterly loyal to it. Just make sure the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy don't get the slightest bit involved with the Guard."

Undercurrents were swirling among various factions within the Federation, but with Chen Xinjie, Guan Yue, and Chu Ci making thorough preparations, none of them could stir up much trouble.

At the Federal Parliament, although the members of parliament lobbied by the Spirit Pagoda strongly opposed the proposal, the proposal to reorganize the guard force was successfully passed with the full support of the Central Legion, the Sea God Legion, and the Temple of War.

Long Tianwu and Su Mengjun, along with a group of elites from the War God Temple, took office and quickly gained control of the police force.

With the news of the reorganization of the guard force, the Source Soul Armor was also revealed to the world.

When the people of the Federation learned that there was such a suit of armor that had no restrictions on wearing it, yet allowed ordinary people to unleash the power of a Soul King, they were immediately excited and eagerly signed up to become members of the guard team.

Once the first batch of police officers has been screened and trained, the police force will be completely transformed and renewed.

……

"With the power of the five fingers, nothing is insurmountable; it can destroy the enemy's head as easily as piercing through rotten soil."

Chu Ci coldly watched Wu Siduo's claw strike in mid-air, then gently twisted his right hand, firmly controlling Wu Siduo's claw and rendering it unable to move.

"I've said it countless times: only by concentrating your soul power at the fingertips of your five fingers can you defeat your enemy."

Chapter 136 Another school year begins

Chu Ci flicked his wrist, deflecting Wu Siduo's attack, and threw a punch that sent Wu Siduo staggering backward.

The next moment, Chu Ci's right hand formed a claw, his soul power gathered at the tips of his five fingers, and with a swift and ruthless strike, he directly crushed Wu Siduo's Netherworld Slash and stopped in front of Wu Siduo's face.

"Wu Siduo, you've lost again," Luo Guixing said with a smile as she watched from the sidelines.

Wu Siduo didn't seem to care much, but Chu Ci said calmly, "Gui Xing, you're next."

"Ah!" Luo Guixing's handsome face fell. Apart from Wu Siduo, the boys had been quite ruthless when sparring with Chu Ci.

"Sigh," Luo Hongchen sighed from the sidelines, saying dejectedly, "Why did I have to be dragged here to train with you guys? I came here to learn about soul tools."

"Hey, don't act like a complaining woman. The boss not only teaches you how to use soul tools, but also trains you. You should be secretly happy about that," Zhang Yangzi said irritably.

Chu Ci waved his hand dismissively and said indifferently, "Hurry up, let's see if I can forge soul weapons for you after the training."

"Really?" Wu Siduo, Luo Guixing, and Luo Hongchen's eyes lit up.

“The forging of Soul Weapons requires the assistance of Level 6 blacksmiths. There are only a handful of Level 6 blacksmiths in the War God Temple, and you will have to pay the price for their assistance,” Chu Ci said.

Upon hearing this, Wu Siduo and the other two frowned. Level 5 blacksmiths were a hurdle; blacksmiths above level 5 were extremely rare on the continent, and their efforts would come at a very high price.

Moreover, the forging method for Soul Weapons is currently known only to the blacksmiths of the War God Temple. They set a price, and Wu Siduo and her companions couldn't even haggle over it.

Once this soul weapon is built, the three of them will probably have to work in the Temple of War for the rest of their lives.

……

Time flies, and Shrek Academy's month-long vacation is over in no time.

Chu Ci returned to Shrek Academy a day early because someone was calling her every day, asking her to come to Shrek Academy to keep her company.

"Hey, Na'er, come down first, come down first."

On Poseidon Island, Chu Ci looked helplessly at Na'er, who was clinging to him like an octopus, ignoring Yun Ming's furious glare beside him, and affectionately ruffled Na'er's hair.

Na'er raised her head in Chu Ci's arms and said pitifully, "Brother, Na'er thinks about you every day, but you haven't come to see me for so long. Have you never thought about Na'er?"

Chu Ci gently pinched Na'er's nose, feeling both amused and exasperated, and said, "I send you messages every day, how could I not have thought of you?"

"Alright, you're all grown up now, get off your brother quickly." Ya Li stepped forward and gently pulled Na'er off Chu Ci.

Ya Li's smile remained gentle as she said softly, "Chu Ci, stay at the Sea God Pavilion tonight and return to the outer courtyard tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Holiness the Holy Spirit," Chu Ci said.

"Hmph," Yun Ming's face turned even uglier, wondering whether he should secretly beat him up that night.

In the afternoon, Chu Ci encountered Tang Wulin, who had come to Seagod Island to cultivate.

Tang Wulin was quite excited when he saw Chu Ci, and happily showed him his second bloodline soul ring, the Golden Dragon Overlord Body, which he had obtained by unlocking the seal of the Golden Dragon King within his body.

Chu Ci curiously tested the strength of the Golden Dragon Overlord Body. The Golden Dragon King bloodline was indeed quite domineering. If it weren't for the fact that Chu Ci's Divine Balance was even more abnormal, he would have been envious.

"Let's go, Gu Yue and the others are back. Let's get together with them," Chu Ci said.

“Okay,” Tang Wulin naturally had no objections.

At the pavilion in the park in the dormitory area, the seven members of the Chu Ci Shrek group reunited after a month.

The seven of them chatted about what had happened over the past month. Sure enough, even on holiday, none of them relaxed at all; they were all incredibly hardworking.

Tang Wulin broke through to level 36, Xu Xiaoyan went to the Star Gazing Platform and broke through to level 37, Xu Lizhi and Xie Xie were both level 38, and Gu Yue and Ye Xinglan were level 41.

As for Chu Ci, his soul power level has reached a terrifying level of forty-six.

"By the way, Wu Siduo told me that their team wants to challenge us tomorrow afternoon. I still won't participate in this challenge, so everyone should be prepared," Chu Ci said calmly.

"I didn't expect them to still be so persistent. Well then, this time we'll beat them until they give up," Gu Yue said.

“Sister Gu Yue is right.” Xu Xiaoyan nodded.

Chu Ci smiled and said, "It's good to have confidence, but what I want to tell you is this."

“During this holiday, Wu Siduo and Luo Guixing came back to the Temple of War with me to cultivate. They have made great progress in the past month.”

"What?! Squad leader, you're aiding the enemy!" Xie Xie was dumbfounded.

Tang Wulin pinched his chin, his brows furrowing slightly. If Wu Siduo and Luo Guixing learned some of Chu Ci's techniques, then their battle tomorrow might be subject to considerable changes.

Chu Ci's smile deepened. "The stronger the opponent, the better it will prove the results of your improvements over this period. So, keep it up!"

The opening ceremony was successfully held the next day. After Cai Yue'er, the dean of the School of Foreign Languages, gave a brief speech, Chu Ci was stunned for a moment before the ceremony quickly came to an end.

In the afternoon, on the Shrek Academy's competition stage, Tang Wulin and his group of six faced off against Wu Siduo and her group of five.

Wu Changkong personally served as the referee for this battle. Most of the students from Class 1 of the first grade came to watch, and quite a few people from Class 1 of the second grade also came, including Yuan Enyehui and Le Zhengyu.

Chu Ci approached Le Zhengyu and Yuan Enyehui and teased, "Oh, I didn't expect that a simple first-year internal battle could attract experts from the second year to watch."

Yuan Enhui crossed her arms and said coldly, "A match that can get you, Chu Ci, to watch in person is no ordinary one."

Le Zhengyu approached with a smile and said, "Chu Ci, when are we going to have a match?"

Chu Ci turned her head and looked Le Zhengyu up and down, making Le Zhengyu feel flustered.

"What, you think you're something just because you've been promoted to the fourth ring?"

"No, no," Yue Zhengyu hurriedly waved his hands, "I just wanted to see the difference between us."

In the last challenge between first and second graders, Yue Zhengyu was eliminated before he even had a chance to play against Chu Ci.

After the match, Yuan Enhui recounted the immense pressure and helplessness he felt when facing Chu Ci, which immediately piqued Le Zhengyu's curiosity. At that moment, Le Zhengyu resolved to fight Chu Ci.

Chu Ci readily agreed, "Alright, let's find some time to have a one-on-one duel."

Le Zhengyu's eyes lit up. "You said it yourself! It's a deal!"

At this moment, Tang Wulin and Wu Siduo and others stepped onto the arena.
