In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The Soul Master delegation of the Sun Moon Empire deliberately timed their arrival at Shrek City on the night before the Soul Tool Exhibition.

The person in charge of receiving the Sun Moon Empire delegation was Tang Ya, the current sect leader of the Tang Clan.

"Senior Ma, I have long admired your name. I am extremely grateful that you could come to participate in our Tang Clan's exhibition. Please come this way, I will arrange accommodations for you right away."

Although Tang Ya looked extremely tired, her smile grew even deeper. For her, the greatest joy in life was the revival of the Tang Clan and for the Tang Clan to reappear before the world.

"You're too kind, Sect Leader Tang." Ma Tianmu (Ma Rulong's grandfather) clasped his hands in greeting and, led by Tang Ya, brought the delegation from the Sun Moon Empire to the Cloud Rain Hotel.

This "cloud and rain" is not the same as that "cloud and rain" and has little to do with the Cloud and Rain Empire. It is a legitimate business of the Tang Clan. After Chen Yu took office, the status of the Tang Clan rose accordingly and officially gained the support and recognition of the Sea God Pavilion.

"Sect Leader Tang, I heard... at tomorrow's exhibition, Hall Master Huo of the Tang Sect will be revealing the core technology of the new soul tool to the public. Is that true?"

As the deputy head of the Sun Moon Empire delegation, Zhu Ningyu suddenly asked this question while Tang Ya was processing the check-in procedures for everyone.

In an instant, everyone in the hall stopped what they were doing and their eyes involuntarily fell on Tang Ya.

For a moment, Tang Ya felt her scalp tingle. This was the first time in her life that she had been stared at by so many people. Her small hands trembled uncontrollably, as if she had Parkinson's disease.

"Please, everyone, rest assured, the Tang Sect has always valued its reputation and never makes false statements. The core technology of the new soul tool will be revealed to the public at the end of tomorrow's exhibition, contributing to the development of soul tool technology in the Douluo Continent!"

After a moment of silence, Tang Ya finally overcame her restless heart and, despite her petite frame, displayed the strength of a leading lady.

For some reason, Tang Ya's body seemed to radiate some unknown radiance. Almost everyone in the hall was instantly emptied of their emotions, becoming completely absorbed in Tang Ya's words.

"It's the protagonist's halo again. That thing is pretty ridiculous. In the original story, Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao were actually able to leave the Holy Spirit Sect unscathed. Tsk tsk tsk, if it weren't for the protagonist's halo, they would at least have some kind of extra gift in their bellies, right?"

Zhu Ningyu was naturally unaffected by Tang Ya's aura. She grabbed the room card from the table and led Hong Ling and Wang Dong'er upstairs.

"Hongling, what do you think of Tang Ya? Can she become the restorer of the Tang Sect?"

As soon as she entered the door, Zhu Ningyu couldn't help but ask her little follower what he thought.

"Tang Ya?" Hong Ling pondered. "Putting aside our positions, she is a girl with a tragic fate. Not only did her parents die early, but she also had to shoulder responsibilities that she shouldn't have to bear at her age."

"Tang Ya's talent is rather mediocre, even among female soul masters, she's considered below average. She lacks both combat and management skills. If it weren't for the help of Xu Sanshi, Chen Yu, Huo Yuhao, and others, how could the Tang Sect have developed to its current state?"

"Sigh, what do you mean by 'restoration leader'? As long as one Super Douluo is willing to invest in the Tang Sect, and with the support of the Sea God Pavilion, it's only a matter of time before the Tang Sect rises again. What's the point of talking about restoration?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ningyu was speechless for a moment. She felt as if... she herself had been mentally retarded.

Everyone says that the Tang Clan is in a terrible state, but in fact... if the Sea God Pavilion wanted to, restoring the Tang Clan to its former glory would be a piece of cake.

Whether it's the Tang Clan in the original story or the Tang Clan now, without the support of the Sea God Pavilion, this Soul Tool Exhibition simply couldn't have been held!

……

The next morning, after having breakfast, the delegations from various factions, led by Tang Sect staff, headed to Shrek Square.

The square was filled with hundreds of booths of all sizes, displaying all kinds of exquisite soul tools. Soul tools of various levels and categories were available, and a quick glance at them certainly gave people a refreshing feeling.

Hmm... To be honest, Tang Sect's Soul Tool Exhibition was a complete mess. Since it's a Soul Tool Exhibition, why don't you put them out on display, let people try them out, or have someone demonstrate them? That would give people a basic understanding of the Soul Tools you've put out. No, they just leave people here to look at them.

After watching for about ten minutes, Huo Yuhao, the main character, finally walked onto the platform and began his speech.

"Let's all see."

Huo Yuhao picked up the pointer, pointed to the diagram on the whiteboard behind him, and said confidently, "After months of research, I have finally discovered the problem with traditional soul tools. Although some defensive measures are taken around the soul tool array of traditional soul tools, these measures are only for external forces."

"The soul guidance array does not directly enter a self-destruct program because the surrounding energy reaches a certain frequency, but rather... under the fluctuation of a certain frequency, the energy in the air disperses into tiny particles and penetrates into the soul guidance array. The soul guidance array itself is relatively fragile, and under normal operation, once there is external energy interference, it will show a tendency to be destroyed."

"Therefore, based on this, I designed a set of armor for the soul-guiding array..."

After hearing Huo Yuhao's explanation, the delegation members from various forces were dumbfounded. It's just equipping a soul guidance array with a set of armor. Does such a simple theory even need to be studied? Anyone can understand why soul guidance devices were phased out. Doesn't Huo Yuhao know that?

More than two hundred years have passed. Do you really think that only you, Huo Yuhao, are a smart person, and that no one else has thought of this?

Everyone thought Huo Yuhao possessed extraordinary abilities, having developed a 2.0 version of the Soul Tool based on the original one, but... that's it? He just made a slight modification to the 1.0 version of the Soul Tool?

Just then, Zhu Ningyu suddenly raised her right hand, her pretty face full of confusion.

Seeing someone ask a question, Huo Yuhao quickly pointed in Zhu Ningyu's direction and said with a smile, "Senior, do you have a question? Please speak freely! Everyone is welcome to speak their mind! I will share my knowledge here and work together for the development of the Soul Master world!"

Zhu Ningyu chuckled, "Hall Master Huo, I have a question I need you to answer. The former Vice-Sect Master of the Tang Sect, Mo Lian, created an air cannon. Our Sun Moon Empire's army captured two of them at the border. I won't comment on their effectiveness yet. But Hall Master Huo, in your opinion, which is superior, the air cannon or a level-five long-range attack soul tool?" (End of Chapter)
