Give Douluo a technological shock

Dai Hao felt a twitch on his face, but he didn't dwell on why [Azure] could see into his mind. The Star Dou Empire's Battle Soul Device was extremely sinister, a fact they had known for a long time. This was why many Title Douluos didn't carry their Battle Soul Devices around like ordinary Star Dou citizens, but instead stored them in spatial storage devices, only taking them out when needed.

Although they would also have some information secretly recorded by the evil Soul Instrument, many high-level Soul Tools in the Star Dou Empire were very troublesome to operate. Without using the Star Dou Empire's Soul Instrument for "AI auto-play," many of their functions were beyond the comprehension of these Title Douluos. Therefore, in the trade-offs, these Title Douluos had long since reluctantly accepted their fate.

After all, in times of crisis, the Battle Soul Device is highly bound to the user's mental power. Therefore, in certain special situations, once the user's intuition senses the threat first, the Battle Soul Device can even react faster than the body and mobilize nearby available soul tools to save itself.

This state of emergency is particularly evident when piloting a Soul Guidance Armor, and there are even instances where the pilot is unconscious but the Soul Guidance "AI" frantically tries to escape with the pilot.

Therefore, Dai Hao immediately guessed how Star City managed to implement that so-called "cognitive shielding" against them.

[Correct, via Battle Soul Device]

Just as Dai Hao was thinking this, the voice of [Azure] rang in his ears again, which made Dai Hao frown.

Every Title Douluo is required to wear a Battle Soul Device before arriving at Star Dou City. After entering Star Dou Technology City, the importance of the Battle Soul Device increases dramatically, so everyone wears it at all times. Therefore, it is easy to guess that they have achieved "cognitive shielding" on a mental level.

However, what made Dai Hao feel uneasy was that he didn't understand why [Azure] would tell him this so easily.

Based on his preconceived notions about the Star Dou Empire, this place seemed to dislike lying. [Azure], in particular, was based on rationality and preferred to remain silent by using the phrase "Insufficient authority, no comment," but it would never lie.

But now, it seems that [Azure] has suddenly started to confess? Or has their authority been elevated?

Dai Hao was filled with doubts, but this time [Azure] did not answer his questions.

And so, Dai Hao, already inexplicably reminded by Huo Yuhao, walked with a complicated expression down the increasingly bustling street. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he noticed a growing number of people around him. Looking up, he realized he had unknowingly arrived at the center of the Star Dou Soul Guidance Technology City: [Awakening Plaza].

This is a very open, silver-gray plaza. Dai Hao heard from the titled Douluo accompanying him that this Awakening Plaza is the center of the entire Star Dou City and also the original form of Star Dou City.

Those titled Douluo who arrived in Star Dou City a few days in advance learned that near Awakening Square, there was a world-class hospital, the Star Dou Engineering Institute capable of producing a new generation of talents for Star Dou in large numbers, and the Star Dou Martial Soul Academy capable of producing gold coins from all the Soul Master Academies in the world.

"The world's top hospitals?"

Dai Hao arrived relatively early. Besides gazing at the enormous pavilion overhead, covered in exquisite and profound soul guidance inscriptions, he watched a large group of Title Douluos gather near the plaza, listening to others' stories.

The Inscription Pavilion was supported by four arched golden buildings connecting the four corners of the Awakening Plaza. Dai Hao and the others were below the Inscription Pavilion, but strangely, the sunlight seemed fake, passing through the Inscription Pavilion without any obstruction, so that the plaza below the pavilion was not shaded at all.

"Of course it's the world's top hospital, Your Majesty White Tiger, right? Do you still remember the former 'Ten Fiends'?"

Sitting on a trapezoidal step in a corner of the square, a middle-aged man dressed in blue, with an ordinary appearance but a spirited demeanor, was showing off his knowledge to a group of foreign titled Douluo standing below him. At this moment, he also recognized the rather famous 'veteran Douluo' among the titled Douluo: White Tiger Douluo Dai Hao.

"I remember it, what do you mean?"

Dai Hao first nodded slightly to his fellow titled Douluo around him as a greeting, then frowned slightly as he looked at the somewhat familiar titled Douluo above. He seemed to have seen this person before, but his impression of him was not very deep.

At that moment, the battle spirit device he wore on his ear directly searched the public database in the nearby signal tower and then projected the four words "[Aoki Douluo]" onto Dai Hao's retina, instantly reminding him of this person.

Seeing that the attention of his fellow titled Douluo was drawn to him, Aoki felt quite pleased with himself. After all, there were many titled Douluo below who were stronger than him, but it didn't matter. Today, he would crush them with his wisdom.

"So, everyone knows about the world's number one healing soul beast, the Emerald Swan King, Biji, right? What you may not know is that this Lady Biji is the dean of the Star Dou Medical Academy. Many of her clansmen from the Emerald Swan flock have joined the Star Dou Medical Academy in order to develop better healing potions. For example, there's the [Nirvana]-level life potion, which is almost comparable to the immortal medicine that can revive the dead and restore flesh to bones. As long as you have a breath left, it can save you!"

"And let me tell you," Aoki said, while pulling a bottle of pale green potion that shimmered with a faint glow from his pocket and waving it in front of everyone, "Star Dou's attainments in the realms of spirit and soul are unimaginable. Let me put it this way, even if someone dies, as long as they don't stay dead for too long and are reduced to dust, he can bring them back to life! How can such an existence not be called the world's number one?!"

"No way?! This is outrageous?!"

"The points mall does have life potions, but they're all called low-level or mid-level. So Star Dou is actually quite honest."

"Brother Aoki! Where can we get something like this?!"

"."

Aoki's words shocked the Title Douluos below. They were not unfamiliar with life potions; Xingdou often sold them. However, Xingdou always honestly added "low-grade," "mid-grade," or "diluted high-grade" before the name of the life potion, emphasizing honesty.

What Aoki was talking about was a life-saving medicine that was practically comparable to a miraculous herb!

Moreover, given the Star Dou Empire's track record, once this thing is researched, mass production will not be far off.

"Alright, alright, everyone, quiet down!" Aoki smiled and waved his hand, signaling his fellow titled followers to be quiet. Then, he held up the life potion in his hand and said to them:

"Those methods involving the soul are too confidential and really hard to get your hands on. But, brother, I just managed to get my hands on a [Nirvana]-level life potion. If any of you need some, I can transfer some to you. It's not expensive, just twenty points a bottle!"

"Holy crap! That's expensive?! Twenty points is enough to buy a really good soul tool!"

"Brother Aoki, is this medicine genuine?"

"Hey bro, give me a bottle!"

Aoki, a smile plastered on his face, watched the chaotic crowd below, calculating how much he could earn this time, when he was suddenly interrupted by an angry shout:

"A bunch of idiots! The number 'Nirvana' has been taken by an initial soul tool. Neither subsequent soul tools nor potions can use this number!"

Stunned by the insult, the crowd instinctively turned to look and saw an elderly man with white hair and an arrogant expression standing on the outskirts. From the perspective of the Battle Soul Device, they could also see a virtual title above the old man's head: [Arrogant Heaven Douluo].

After years of mining, he finally emerged. The arrogant Douluo, who had finally traversed the mountain, looked at all these people who had come to see him and sneered:

"Why are you looking at me? That bastard Aoki has already run away."

Everyone turned around instantly, but there was no one left on the platform! Aoki had already slipped away the moment the righteous and awe-inspiring Aotian Douluo spoke.

"Oh my god! I almost got scammed!"

"It's all because of a lack of education!"

"Can we report him? After all, this is Xingdou; selling counterfeit goods should be illegal, right?"

Many of the titled Douluo were muttering curses at Aoki, who had almost deceived them, while others cast grateful glances at Aotian Douluo.

However, Aotian Douluo still maintained that unruly and annoying expression, but he explained, "That bastard didn't sell counterfeit goods. The two highest-level life potions currently have the numbers [Reincarnation] and [Rebirth]. The former kills first and then saves, which is very special and you can't buy it. As for the latter, you should have heard of the Sun and Moon Emperor's title. Xingdou gave a bottle to Xu Tianran, the Sun and Moon Emperor, before, but I heard that saving face won't work. Its effect is very powerful, and it also has the effect of limb regeneration."

"That bastard sold you a diluted version of the [Rebirth] level life potion, it's real, and you can't even buy it. The internal price in Star Dou is 20 Douluo points per bottle. If you need it, I can buy it for you."

"..." Dai Hao, standing in the crowd, looked at Aotian Douluo, who had once again taken over Qingmu Douluo's position, with a strange expression on his face. He felt a sense of unease.

It's simply terrifying.

However, given the precedent of Qingmu Douluo, Aotian Douluo's attempt to attract traffic was unsuccessful.

Although everything Aotian Douluo said was correct, and the [Rebirth] level life potion was indeed priced that way, these titled Douluos who almost fell for it were now unwilling to believe Aotian Douluo.

However, Aotian Douluo didn't feel anything was wrong with this. He simply disliked Qingmu. Because he stayed in the mine for many years and was out of touch with the news, he was deceived by Qingmu. Now that he had come out of the mine, he happened to run into Qingmu and of course he wanted to ruin things for him.

"Oh, and one more thing to remind you."

Having just arrived from the mining area, Aotian Douluo stood in the Awakening Plaza, looked around, and then pointed to the group of other Title Douluos gathered in the distance, saying to Dai Hao and the others:

"Those bastards are all in cahoots."

"Huh? Your Majesty, is that guy selling satellite missiles also a fake?"

Some people don't understand why, at the place pointed out by Aotian Douluo, there is a row of huge soul tool cannonballs for sale, which are said to be super soul tool cannonballs that can be fired from the sky and destroy a city with one shot.

"..." The Aotian Douluo subconsciously turned his head and scrutinized the person who had asked the question from head to toe before explaining with a look of disgust, "That bastard is right. The world's first orbital satellite was launched from this square, and it does indeed possess missiles capable of destroying a city with a single shot from the sky. But look where you are here! Awakening Square!!! Look at what's above this! The Starry Heart—the Government Command Center!!! Do you think that bastard has the guts to bring the real thing here to sell???"

"Your Majesty, has anyone ever told you that you speak rudely?"

"Humph!"

Aotian Douluo snorted coldly, ignoring other people's opinions, and turned to leave alone.

Compared to the others who were being verbally abused, Dai Hao was more concerned about the information that Aotian Douluo had shared.

Whether it was Aoki or Aotian, their words revealed that the Star Dou Empire had achieved a level of military weaponry, life sciences, and medical care that was unimaginable and incomprehensible to other countries.

With extremely complex feelings, yet also a sense of relief, Dai Hao reunited with the Title Douluos from the Star Luo Empire.

Seeing the complicated expressions on the faces of the titled retainers from the Star Luo Kingdom who had accompanied him, Dai Hao knew that as long as these titled Douluo from various places left Star Dou and returned to their respective places, the psychological defenses of all forces on the continent would be broken, and then they would be easily swallowed up by the Star Dou Empire without losing a single soldier.

The titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire looked at each other, each lost in their own complex thoughts. And like them were the titled Douluo of the Heavenly Soul, the Fighting Spirit, and the Sun Moon Empire, who had begun to band together.

As time passed, the warm morning sun illuminated the world completely. In the center of the Awakening Plaza, there were five groups of Title Douluos: Xingdou, Xingluo, Tianhun, Douling, and Riyue, totaling more than two hundred people.

Xuanzi, Dai Hao, and the others looked at the large group of 'people' standing on the side of the Star Dou forces with puzzled expressions.

Those 'people' were all strangers to them, and they couldn't even see each other's information using the Battle Soul Device? This is a very rare situation.

When they saw that Poison Undying was leading a large group of somewhat unnatural-looking titled elders from the Body Sect standing among the titled Douluo group from the Star Dou forces, a knowing glint flashed in Xuanzi's eyes.

'No wonder that old man was able to break through to the Limit Douluo level so quickly; he surrendered long ago.'

However, the more than 160 Title Douluos from the other four countries did not show much emotion when Poison Undying led more than ten Title Douluos from his sect to stand on the side of Star Dou.

Before they arrived, those titled retainers from various royal families might have thought about how to overthrow the Star Dou Empire and then divide up its profits. However, after touring the Star Dou Soul Guidance Technology City, the capital of the Star Dou Empire, they no longer had such unrealistic ideas.

To put it more accurately, they planned to go back and persuade their idiotic emperor not to rebel, but to lie down happily like them and wait for the "royal army to come," so that they could live a good life as soon as possible.

While Xuanzi, Dai Hao, and the others were lost in thought, Du Busi, who had infiltrated the Star Dou forces as a titled Douluo and pretended to be calm, felt a chill run down his spine as a bald, green-haired man.

He discovered that, due to [Azure]'s intervention, non-titled Douluo could only watch the spectacle from the trapezoidal steps at the edge of the Awakening Plaza, while those in the center of the Awakening Plaza were all titled Douluo from their respective regions.

The Star Dou Empire has compiled statistics on the titled Douluo of Douluo Continent, and as of last month, there were a total of 215.

However, according to Poison Undying's perception, there were more than three hundred 'people' on the field.

Since the Sun Moon Empire is currently in close contact with the Star Luo Empire, both countries have a considerable number of Title Douluo guarding their homelands. Adding in the Title Douluo "primitive people" from other places, out of a total of 215 Title Douluo, perhaps 200 would be quite impressive.

However, there are over three hundred humanoid figures standing here.

Among them, Star Luo, Heavenly Soul, Dou Ling, and Sun Moon total 164 Title Douluos. Poison Undying thought that if [Azure Blue] hadn't suddenly crashed and deceived him, Star Dou only had about 25 Title Douluos, right? Adding Poison Undying's own Body Sect, there were a total of 15 Title Douluos.

If Du Busi thought he hadn't miscalculated, even if all the titled Douluos of Xingdou came, 25 + 15 couldn't possibly equal 156, right?

Just as Poison Undying was frantically counting on his fingers, a young woman with white scales on the edge of her face, standing next to a dignified woman in a dark blue cheongsam who had been silently watching them from the Body Sect, suddenly leaned close to Green-Haired Egg and sniffed him carefully, her eyes dangerously bright:

"Baldy, you smell familiar, like one of my clansmen."

Even Du Bu Si, who was already a level 99 Limit Douluo, had his brain instantly shut down!

156-40=116!

Over one hundred 100,000-year-old soul beasts!!
