Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 373 Grace: Don't start a war recklessly; the Star Luo Empire can surrender under conditions.

Faced with the offer of surrender from Sun and Moon Elder, the five Heavenly Kings of Monster Academy remained steadfast: "In principle, we cannot surrender!"

Luan Hongchen nodded: "Then you can surrender. Let's talk about the terms, or you can contact your families."

"My Mingdu has been providing you with good food, drink, and cultivation for many years now. You often reside in the Mingde Hall and gaze at the Ancient Tree of Life from afar. You should know how vibrant and full of geniuses our Federation is, which is incomparable to your Star Luo Continent."

Since Feng Zaixing brought these five Heavenly Kings back, they have been living a college life where they have everything except freedom. However, the scale of Mingdu is much larger than that of Xingluo City on Xingluo Continent.

Luan Hongchen had no interest in torturing a few talented captives, so he simply arranged for them to serve as practical instructors, which was a way of not keeping idle people around.

The five Heavenly Kings exchanged glances, and finally, the Fox King Su Mu, who was ranked the highest, stepped forward and stated his position: "We have been out of contact with our families for a long time and are not clear about the current situation of the Star Luo Continent, so it is difficult for us to make an effective response."

Luan Hongchen's lips curled slightly: "What kind of problem is this? If you've lost contact, just try to get back in time. Anyway, there's still some time before all the naval warships are completed and launched. This is your window of opportunity to communicate with your homeland."

"I can tell you clearly now that the Star Luo Continent has not a single chance of winning against the conquest of the Federation's top experts. Last time, the Holy Spirit Cult caused great harm to the three major navies. This time, we will send an unprecedentedly powerful lineup, with at least ten Limit Douluos, more than a hundred Title Douluos, and thousands of black mechs."

"Among them, the one you are most familiar with, our Federation's number one powerhouse, Saint Venerable Douluo Feng Zaixing, will also be going to war with the army. No matter how strong the Star Luo Empire's military preparations are, there will be not even the slightest chance of survival. I remember that your native territory only has two Limit Douluos, right? And they are not both four-word Douluo Armor Masters."

After a long period of contact, and having done thorough background research, Luan Hongchen confirmed and affirmed that, throughout the entire Star Luo Continent, only Enci...

Tong Yu and his two Limit Douluo were both native to the region.

Including Yun Ming from Shrek Academy, Cao Dezhi from Tang Sect, and Guan Yue who once served in the War God Temple, there are only five Limit Douluo at most. Among them, Tong Yu is not a four-word battle armor master, and Enci's four-word battle armor is a defective product that he nurtured by expending his life force.

The five Heavenly Kings fell silent for a moment, then lowered their heads, speechless.

The facts are undeniable. During their time cultivating in Mingdu, they saw many Limit Douluos from afar, including the one right in front of them. The Mingde Hall Master was another, and there were countless other Limit Douluos who had cultivated near the Ancient Tree of Life.

Everyone in the Star Luo Empire loves martial arts and admires the strong. If the Five Heavenly Kings thought that the Soul Master world of the Star Luo Continent was capable of fighting before they came to Mingdu, they have long since given up on that idea. If Shrek Academy and Tang Sect hadn't joined Star Luo, the gap between the two sides would have been so large that it would have been despairing.

Dai Yun'er said in a low voice, "When I came here, Brother Long Yue's cultivation level was already quite good. With his bloodline power, he still had a good chance of becoming a Limit Douluo."

"A genius who hasn't fully matured is meaningless in the face of a strong person. I don't need to teach you that, do I?"

He seemed indifferent to the chaos of the world, and what did it matter if the Mountain Dragon King, Long Yue, possessed extraordinary talent? Not all geniuses of this era were like Feng Zaixing.

This being is an absurd being capable of fighting across borders. As a demigod, suppressing a dragon leap is as easy as turning his hand.

"Oh, by the way, compared to Long Yue, we are actually more interested in that Qilin Douluo Tong Yu. He has a big secret worth exploring."

Changing the subject, Luan Hongchen's eyes lit up, expressing his strong interest in Tong Yu, or more precisely, in his martial spirit.

His martial soul strength goes without saying. The Five Elements Qilin bloodline is powerful and it is a rare beast martial soul that can be compared with the dragon and phoenix. However, in Mingdu's research, Tong Yu's mentality is flawed, and even with his extremely high talent, he has no chance to break through to the quasi-god level.

Back then, he was convicted of murder. The Spirit Pagoda and the Tang Sect did not want to see the Star Luo Empire have another exceptionally talented Limit Douluo, so they secretly instigated the masses to take to the streets to protest, smearing Tong Yu's reputation countless times. Even though Tong Yu was not executed afterward, he was already very depressed.

The saying "some people are still alive, but they are already dead" describes people like Tong Yu. He faces complete social death and has very little attachment to this world. The only things that can keep him living like a walking corpse are the influence of his teacher Enci, his guilt towards Monster Academy, and perhaps something else.

The reason why Luan Hongchen was interested in Tong Yu was that Tong Yu's early martial soul was just a very ordinary and even weak dog martial soul. Judging from Tong Yu's early cultivation speed, it was even a useless martial soul that could sit at the same table as Blue Silver Grass. Nobody knew when the trace of Qilin bloodline deep in this martial soul was passed down.

The Five Elements Qilin Martial Soul is a mutated martial soul that Tong Yuxin discovered when he almost died after drinking pesticide.

The transformation of an ordinary puppy into a Five Elements Qilin, activating a tiny trace of Qilin bloodline, is a miracle that anyone who learns of it cannot help but marvel at. Even Feng Zaixing is extremely curious.

Even in the records of the Body Sect, there has never been a case of a puppy mutating into a divine beast martial soul. Given Tong Yu's physical condition before the martial soul mutation, he simply could not withstand the Body Sect's nightmarish martial soul secondary awakening method.

But precisely because of this, Feng Zaixing was extremely interested in Tong Yu, because he seemed to see a second path of martial soul awakening or ancestral evolution in Tong Yu.

Of course, it's not about recklessly drinking pesticide, but rather about unleashing the immense potential hidden within one's martial spirit through a life-or-death situation.

Feng Zaixing has always been happy to use Mingde Hall's superior technology to research scientific cultivation methods that are more conducive to the cultivation of Body Sect Soul Masters, and even methods for the second awakening of Martial Souls. After setting his sights on Tong Yu, he did not keep anything to himself and proposed a topic at Mingde Hall: "Soul Masters may be able to achieve a great explosion of Martial Souls between life and death," which attracted a lot of attention.

As for the other Limit Douluo of the Star Luo Empire, Enci, the Holy Dragon Douluo, whose martial soul is the Holy Light Dragon, he is an old friend of the Federation. Ten thousand years ago, he was enough to dominate all directions, but in this era, he is somewhat outdated.

The once extremely rare Holy Dragon of Light, thanks to the early efforts of a certain "Feeding Douluo" of Shrek Academy, has been passed down on a large scale, if not completely disappeared.

"In short, we have thoroughly investigated and understood the strength of your Star Luo Empire. All your secrets are clear to us. You are about to face a war you are destined to lose. Preparing in advance for a safe landing is not a bad thing."

With a smug and villainous look on his face, Luan Hongchen issued an ultimatum to the five Heavenly Kings of Monster Academy.

Seeing this, Dai Yun'er's eyes darted around, and she spoke up, expressing her willingness to act as a relay point, conveying opinions between the two parties.

The five Heavenly Kings all looked at the princess: "We haven't even started fighting yet, why is the princess acting this way?"

Dai Yun'er sighed with a "give up" expression, "When I came here, my father told me that I could try to surrender under conditions, because I actually have the status of an envoy."

"Of course, I can only speak for myself and some innocent members of the royal family at this time."

Seeing this, the Five Heavenly Kings felt no more burdened. Su Mu sighed and said to Luan Hongchen, "Please restore our communication signal with the outside world. We need to contact our families."

"Alright! As you wish."

As time passed and more than half a year went by, naval warships were launched into the water for aerial surveys one after another like dumplings being dropped into a pot. The new mother ships of the Northern and Eastern Naval Groups were equipped with brand-new technologies and, after three rounds of in-depth testing, were re-equipped and put into service, restoring the vitality of the three navies.

After careful consideration, Chen Xinjie did not change the name of the Sea God Legion. His life force was getting weaker and weaker, but his eyes became stronger and stronger as he stared intently in the direction of the Star Luo Continent.

Feng Zaixing, the commander of the Northern Navy Legion, was stationed on the mothership, accompanied by top-tier warriors from the Yixin Society and the Body Sect.

The Yixin Society, which once gathered nine hearts, comprised members ranging from Super Douluo to Limit Douluo, representing the entire multitude.

The East Sea Fleet's mother ship, with Yu Guanzhi temporarily taking over the leadership, accompanied by Yu Guanjun and Yu Xin, and War God Temple powerhouses such as Long Tianwu, Su Mengjun, and Luo Yuhang lined up.

On the mothership of the Sea God Legion, Chen Xinjie nodded slightly to Ao Rui, Mo Zihong, and his younger brother Chen Xinyun, who had returned from their rest period with the Blood God Legion and followed him on his expedition to Xingluo. He then gave a few words of advice to his son, who was about to succeed him, and said nothing more.

The Spirit Pagoda provided the greatest support for the expedition to Xingluo. The Illusionary Brain Douluo Han Tianyi was stationed at the central hub, using his Divine Origin Realm spiritual power to assist in command. Qian Gu Die Ting and Leng Yao Zhu were stationed in the East Sea and North Sea Legions respectively. Top experts such as Gu Yue and Sima Jin Chi were also present.

Thus began the war against the Star Luo Continent.

"The Tang Clan colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult, causing trouble for our Federal Navy. If we do not destroy the Tang Clan in this expedition, our Federal Navy will not turn back!"

'

The strong and resolute anti-terrorism declaration placed the Federal Navy in a rare victim position. A massive fleet of warships, formed by the three navies, set out at an extremely fast pace, heading towards the Star Luo Continent.

This time, the naval fleet not only carried a large military force, but also a considerable number of technical officials, signifying that after conquering the Star Luo Empire, they would begin to govern on the spot and eradicate the ills of the imperial system.

As it turned out, the new warships launched their attack very quickly. In just over half a month, they had brazenly approached the outer waters of the Star Luo Empire and surrounded it en masse.

Feng Zaixing stood at the bow of the ship and waved his hand gently: "The surrender process is initiated. We demand that the Star Luo Empire hand over all of Tang Sect's power."

"Okay." Aruheng nodded, activated the broadcasting device, and used a loudspeaker to urge the Star Luo Empire to sever ties with the Tang Sect as soon as possible, abolish the imperial system, and surrender on the spot to achieve the most peaceful unification possible.

"Look, senior brother, several speedboats are heading this way." Just as the broadcast was about to end, Na'er spotted several fast-moving ships rushing out of the Star Luo Empire's coastline.

The man at the front, a handsome man in his early twenties, dressed in a fur coat and ceremonial robes, was none other than Dai Yueyan, the fourth prince of the Star Luo Empire, whom he had met several times before.

However, judging from his current attire, Feng Zaixing felt that he should change his title. This was the current emperor of the Star Luo Empire, and probably also the last emperor.

Beside Dai Yueyan, Enci slowly stepped forward, channeling the full power of a Limit Douluo, and shouted, "Don't start a war recklessly! Our Star Luo Empire is willing to negotiate a conditional surrender!"
