Give Douluo a technological shock

"The price. To gain something, you must bear the price. This is an eternal truth, Your Excellency the Governor."

"We, the [think tank], believe that for the wise not to explain the advantages and disadvantages is dereliction of duty; to fully explain the advantages is unjust; to fully explain the disadvantages is inhumane."

"Heaven and earth, heaven and earth, each have their own duties, responsibilities and righteousness, and we, the [think tank], are primarily guilty of endless harm, madness, and pride. But these are all excuses; the real crime is a lack of wisdom."

The young man in purple, his face expressionless, silently stared at Huo Yuhao, whose face was growing increasingly pale, before finally saying:

“A wise man without wisdom is not a wise man. A swordsman without a sword is not a swordsman. Your Excellency, my speech is finished.”

After the young man silently explained the pros and cons, he sat down quietly and closed his eyes to rest, leaving Huo Yuhao alone, pale-faced, staring blankly in the governor's seat.

Behind the governor's seat, in the mural of soul guide inscriptions, surrounded by various martial soul symbols of the Star Dou Empire, the left and right sides represent the power and technology of soul beasts and humans, respectively, while the top and bottom symbolize the infinite galaxy and the Douluo Star, symbolizing practice. In the center, two ethereal arms converge from the lower left and upper right respectively, firmly grasping a simple double-edged sword located in the very center.

The upper right hand grips the hilt of the sword, while the lower left hand holds the blade, symbolizing that the Star Empire's foundation is built upon the support of soul beasts.

However, think tanks are a double-edged sword.

Thank you to [Book Friend 2137] for the 100 reward.

I went back and looked at the first 10 words of my thesis yesterday, and ugh, they were an eyesore! Time for the defense!

Chapter 268: Huo Yuhao Chasing His Wife! The Fated Showdown Between the Tortoise and the Hare!

"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting."

Seeing Huo Yuhao frozen in place, and the atmosphere in the entire House of Representatives becoming eerily silent, the young man in purple below sighed softly and then offered his opinion:

"The Douling Kingdom is weak and has long been powerless to fight under the Demon Lord. The situation in the Truth War Zone has probably been conveyed, and new support may be on its way. The Dawn Fleet, which is far overseas, will probably appear on the Douluo Continent in an unimaginable way soon. The Tianhun Empire's 70,000 regular troops have been almost completely wiped out. The pressure on the Second and Third Armies and the Academy Army will not be too great. The situation is slowly getting better."

"When necessary, the [think tank] can maintain the status quo, preserving the empire's current state in matters outside of national decrees, and therefore..."

The young man in purple looked up at Huo Yuhao, who had suffered a blow, a hint of self-reproach flashing in his eyes. He whispered to everyone:

"Proposal: Grant His Excellency the Consul a three-day leave."

"I second that!"

"Seconded!"

The other members of the House of Representatives were initially taken aback by the suggestion from the young man in purple who had a title but rarely attended, but they quickly realized what he meant and began to second the motion, suggesting that Huo Yuhao take a three-day leave.

"Let's put this into writing. Whether or not it is adopted is entirely up to Your Excellency the Consul."

Seeing the proposal pass, the young man in purple sighed inwardly, then said his last words and got up to leave as if no one else was there. At the same time, the other members of the House of Representatives also left after completing the document and handing it over to Huo Yuhao. They were still trying to save face for Huo Yuhao in their own way.

As for the current political situation of the Star Dou Empire, when the young man in purple suggested that the Demon Lord's support troops should already be on their way, these people knew that they only needed to stabilize the situation for a day or two. Moreover, judging from the time, the Dawn Fleet should have been approaching Douluo Continent since the loss of contact.

Therefore, as long as they maintain a defensive posture for the time being, and wait for the scattered forces of the Star Dou Empire to regroup, they will be able to suppress the entire continent.

The Dawn War Zone has a bugged area called the Bay of Ten Thousand Beasts, but the House of Representatives and others aren't too worried about problems arising there. The Truth War Zone also has one, namely the Star Dou Great Forest behind it, but in wars between humans, it's best for long-lived soul beasts to avoid actively participating.

Therefore, at the suggestion of the young man in purple, the House of Representatives decided to skip work for one or two hours to give Huo Yuhao some time to think and deal with his personal issues.

"The empire and the beauty have always been topics that rulers can never avoid."

The young man in purple robes walked silently out of the solemn and simple House of Representatives toward the sealed Star City not far away. As he walked along the stone path in the forest, his figure seemed unreal and illusory. Every move he made seemed to blend into the world. Even if you were a little distance away from him, you could not sense the slightest trace of his aura.

Just as the young man in purple sighed these words in the forest, a young yet weathered voice rang in his ears: "He was in the wrong seat from the start."

At the same time, a gentle female voice rang out: "Isn't it better to have a beautiful woman?"

The young man in purple, Chen Hong, laughed and responded with his divine sense: "Good, good, good, hahaha, the location at the Academy of Engineering is the most suitable for Huo Yuhao. Actually, at first we wanted to pave the way for Ye Guyi, but time was tight, so Chen Fu just abandoned the mess and wanted to see what the Starry Sky, whose basic framework had already been built, would become."

In the temporary internal communication network built with god-level mental power, Ah Yin said helplessly, "Casual? It's a wonder you can say that about him."

As Chen Hong walked, he laughed and said, "That's just slacking off. If he had just given some instructions, Huo Yuhao wouldn't have been forced to take the lead. Chen Fu left Xingdou with too many backup plans that could turn the tide. If he had paved the way for Ye Guyi in advance and let her lead the Xingdou Empire to unify the Douluo Continent, she would definitely have become a god within ten years."

"Sigh, I just didn't expect reality to be even more unpredictable." Chen Hong couldn't help but sigh slightly at the end.

Electrolux, speaking quietly on the temporary communication channel, said, "Huo Yuhao has hardly touched his soul tool in the past two months. All of his research projects have been suspended, including the long-range fixed-position soul tool missile that has already begun to take shape."

“That child is not naturally the kind of person who is decisive and ruthless. He has practiced in the army before. If he is not the kind of person, don’t force him to go in that direction.”

"Moreover, young people always regard love and romance as more important than their own lives."

Electrolux commented quietly, as if he had been there before.

At this moment, Chen Hong suddenly said with a strange expression, "Emm, I want to ask something. Among the three of us, who has ever had a proper, real relationship?"

Electrolux: "."

Ah Yin: "."

Chen Hong continued with a strange expression, "Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Guyi seem to be in similar situations to us, right?"

"And then there's the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Not counting Gu Yuena and Di Tian, ​​he hasn't undergone a transformation to divinity. I've discovered that all the officially recognized god-level combatants in our Star Dou are..."

“Let’s get back to Ye Guyi.” Ilex immediately changed the subject and said quietly, “I looked up the history of Douluo Continent. In a sense, the people of Douluo Continent overthrew the Spirit Hall, which was reaping what they sowed. They betrayed the Angel God who led them out of the wilderness, so they owed him a debt of karma.”

"The same is true of Poseidon, the god of the sea. Many inexplicable battles in history show that the first Poseidon interfered with the normal competition for the chosen ones, which can be considered a karmic debt."

"Therefore, Truth City, formerly Shrek City, has a complex population. We are quite unlucky; the karma of angels and mortals has fallen on our heads."

"As for the first Poseidon, the sea god, including Tang San, they all owed the Angel God a debt of karma, which they must repay."

"The same goes for the divine realm. They split up the angelic authority and left the angelic divine head and angelic sword in the divine realm. This means that when the divine realm discovers that a new angel god is about to be born, they will subconsciously help him."

"So, you've made another breakthrough?" Chen Hong asked, somewhat surprised.

Electrolux murmured, "The mortals' indifference and open-mindedness towards life and death have given me a lot of insights, and my understanding of life and death has also deepened."

Electrolux had been silently observing the war on the front lines. He could have saved those who shouldn't have died, but he didn't. He simply watched silently as they struggled desperately on the battlefield driven by their instinctive desire to live, and then fearlessly faced death when necessary.

All of this deeply moved Electrox, which deepened his understanding of the cycle of life and death, and led him to develop his own thoughts on cause and effect.

"By the way, can I know your location? Mu Enlong, Xiaoyao, and Ye Guyi won't be finished anytime soon. If another deity interferes, we'll easily find ourselves on the defensive. Besides, there's a Sea God fragment of Tang San wandering outside. I don't think that person is an honest one."

Electrolux expressed his concerns to Chen Hong, worried that Tang San's Sea God split soul, who had disappeared somewhere, might sneak up on them and cause some trouble again.

"Location?" Chen Hong smiled helplessly: "Don't count on me. Unless Chen Fu has a problem, I won't take action. This time, I only appeared to give Huo Yuhao a hint because I felt that Huo Yuhao wasn't in good condition."

"Giving Huo Yuhao three days of free time is to allow him to sort out his relationship with Wang Dong'er. If Wang Dong'er wants to fully integrate into Xingdou, then she will inevitably have to go to the front line, and the most dangerous front line at that. If Huo Yuhao really can't bear to see Wang Dong'er dancing alone between life and death, then it's up to him to choose."

"Huo Yuhao isn't the only candidate for the Star Dou Empire's governor. The reason everyone chooses him is mainly due to his background and talent, which is why they're willing to believe in him. But if Huo Yuhao really isn't suitable, then the [Think Tank] naturally has other options. As long as they hold an impeachment ceremony and both perish, then the [Sword Pavilion] can directly dissolve the House of Representatives and the First Governor. Of course, Huo Yuhao can also withdraw on his own."

"Life is not always smooth sailing; we will always encounter things that we are not good at or suitable for."

Wang Dong'er is a martial arts academy student specializing in combat, so the only place for her to realize her self-worth is on the front lines. This is something that cannot be changed. It was already difficult for Wang Dong'er to integrate into Star Dou and start a new life, so this is a very good opportunity.

Ah Yin sighed sadly over the communication channel, "My poor granddaughter."

"Hey, stop sighing."

As Chen Hong walked through the forest, he suddenly turned back to look at the House of Representatives. A beam of icy blue light flashed across the sky. Chen Hong said softly, "Your grandson-in-law went to find your granddaughter. According to big data analysis, he might quit. I need to prepare for three days from now."

Chen Hong sighed slightly, then turned around and slowly walked towards the House of Representatives. He basically understood that Huo Yuhao was very likely to give up the 'cage of power', so he would need to go and stabilize the House of Representatives for a few days.

Electrolux then laughed and said, "It's alright. Being able to recognize your own area of ​​expertise is a form of growth."

Chen Hong also laughed and said, "That's why I chose to help him. Anyway, Ye Guyi doesn't need it anymore, so I can also be born if the situation allows."

For Chen Hong, his original plan was to ascend to the top of the Star Dou Empire after Ye Guyi. He needed to become the person in charge of the Star Dou Empire to complete his final tasks.

As they chatted, Chen Hong slowly walked towards the House of Representatives, and soon his figure disappeared into the dense forest.

Starry Plains, the Battle Zone of Truth.

In a wooded area, with a whoosh, a blade of light as fast as lightning flashed among the fallen leaves, instantly slit the throat of a Soul King from the Heavenly Soul Empire who was trying to escape!

"Cough."

The Soul King pinched the cut with both hands, trying to unleash his soul skill to escape, but as soon as he exerted force, blood gushed out from his throat!

"Seventh place, Xiaoxiao, Dong'er, how are things on your end?"

Wearing a full set of black, fitted light armor and a helmet equipped with a wind-breaking soul tool, Jiang Nannan shook the blood off the alloy short sword in her hand. Then, while searching for information on the enemy, she inquired in the internal chat channel of the ultra-low frequency scout squad.

"Nannan is amazing! Dong'er is amazing too! I'm the slowest one, and I've only taken down two bad guys so far!"

"Xiaoxiao, don't run around, I'll come back and take you flying."

Seeing that her other two companions were all fine, Jiang Nannan felt a little relieved. She was a level 60 agility-attack Battle Soul Emperor, with the Martial Soul Lightning Rabbit, possessing even greater speed than Wang Dong'er's Goddess of Light Butterfly in complex terrain.

Her soul power cultivation level was just 60, six rings, and martial arts cultivation. Since she had just broken through, she had only temporarily imprinted the soul rings and had not yet absorbed soul power to upgrade her level.

The alloy dagger in her hand was a soul tool sword with properties such as armor penetration, bleeding, and sturdiness.

Many people in the Star Dou Academy army are like this: their martial soul is mostly just an advantage or talent, and they will use soul tools that suit them more often in battle.

The average physical strength of the Star Dou Army is far greater than that of the Heavenly Soul Army, which is why the Star Dou Army can always achieve an exaggerated kill ratio. However, since the vast majority of Star Dou Army soldiers are 'easy to feed' martial artists and are a group of people without soul skills, they are often ambushed by the soul skills of traditional soul masters in the Heavenly Soul Army. This is the biggest factor causing casualties in the Star Dou Army.

'Huh? A photo?'

Jiang Nannan quickly found a photo in the arms of the Heavenly Soul King. When she picked it up and turned it over to look at it, a photo of a smiling family of three appeared in front of her, causing Jiang Nannan's hand to pause subconsciously.

After noting down the unit number on the Soul King's body, Jiang Nannan, who had been silent, prepared to slowly retreat.

Suddenly, Jiang Nannan's eyes inside the soul tool helmet changed abruptly. Her hand, which had been resting on her waist, instinctively pulled out a throwing blade and, based on the information provided by the detector inside the armor, hurled the alloy throwing blade at a location in the dense forest about fifty or sixty meters to her left!

Ding!Ding!

The suddenly split flying blades emitted two crisp, metallic sounds, causing Jiang Nannan, who had already concealed her figure, to frown.

'Spatial displacement?'

Her split blades have a slight positioning function; just now, the position of her own blades suddenly shifted, and then they were instantly thrown out.
