Douluo: The Fallen Garuda, Feathers Crossing the Mortal Realm

Fu Yu's words immediately silenced Ning Qingyun and Elder Wu, their throats bobbing but no words of rebuttal coming out.

Currently, the two people with the highest soul power in the minds of the original three kingdoms of the mainland are Poison Undying, the sect leader of the Body Sect, a level 98 Super Douluo, whose Body Martial Soul has been awakened to the Gold level, and whose peak combat power can barely reach the threshold of Limit Douluo.

The second is Xuanzi, the head of the Shrek Academy's inspection team, whose gluttonous bull spirit is also extremely powerful.

To be honest, neither of these two can reliably defeat Kong Deming. Although the Soul Master community in the Three Kingdoms doesn't say it, they are well aware of this.

As for why there is no Limit Douluo in the hearts of Soul Masters of the Three Kingdoms, that's perfectly normal.

Dragon God Douluo Mu En, Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, former sect master Du Bisi.

These three were the three publicly known Limit Douluos in the Soul Master world of the Three Kingdoms period.

After the great battle between Dragon God Douluo Mu En and the original Douluo Du Bisi, Du Bisi died, and Mu En disappeared without a trace.

Apart from the Shrek Academy's higher-ups and a few members of the Holy Spirit Cult who knew that Mu En was not dead but seriously injured, even the current sect leader, Du Busi, believed that Mu En had perished together with his brother in that battle.

Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao disappeared even earlier than Mu En, and has not appeared in the Three Kingdoms Soul Master world for over a hundred years.

"Xiaoyu, I really can't refute what you said." Ning Qingyun smiled wryly. "Indeed, you are right. Most of us in the Three Kingdoms Soul Master world are immersed in the idea that Martial Souls are invincible and cannot extricate ourselves from it."

"It's not that no one has noticed this. For example, my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is the faction that favors the use of soul tools. The lack of support-type martial souls means that we always have to rely on other soul masters for our martial power."

"To be honest, any Soul Master with a bit of ambition doesn't want to hide behind others. The appearance of hidden weapons ten thousand years ago has made up for this to some extent."

When talking about the hidden weapons that appeared ten thousand years ago, Ning Qingyun paused for a moment before continuing.

"However, the disadvantages of hidden weapons are also obvious. High-level hidden weapons are difficult to make, and low-level hidden weapons are not very useful on the battlefield above the Soul Saint level. They are also limited by the consumption of materials and crossbow bolts, so their target audience is too small."

"But soul tools are different. From soul masters to titled Douluo, there are corresponding soul tool levels and soul tools. As long as soul power is used, support-type soul masters can also unleash the same level of attack as battle soul masters."

As Ning Qingyun spoke, he took out several offensive soul tools from his storage soul tool and showed them to Fu Yu.

"This is incredibly beneficial for support-type Soul Masters whose combat power has been sluggish for tens of thousands of years."

"To tell you the truth, Xiaoyu, I also studied Soul Master, but because of my status and age, I couldn't go to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy like you."

Ning Qingyun strongly agreed with Fu Yu's words and also shared some of his own opinions.

But after saying that, he sighed again.

"Unfortunately, our voice is too weak to change the winds of the Soul Master world. Even the royal families of the Three Kingdoms might not be able to do it."

"unless..."

Fu Yu finished what Ning Qingyun was about to say.

"Unless Shrek Academy leads the three kingdoms of the continent, right?"

Ning Qingyun looked at Fu Yu and Elder Wu with some helplessness and said, "Yes, only Shrek Academy has such appeal. However, Shrek's martial soul system is too deeply rooted. Even though the academy has a soul guidance system, the support from the Sea God Pavilion is pitifully little."

"Even in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, Shrek Academy only fielded Martial Soul types, and there was never a Soul Master among them."

"On the contrary, other academies in the three kingdoms did not reject soul tools much, and all of them used them to some extent."

After mentioning Shrek Academy, Fu Yu's expression turned slightly colder, and the smile on his lips faded.

"Shrek has been mythologized far too much by the Soul Masters of the three great empires. Now it's just being used by various forces to build relationships."

At this point, Fu Yu sneered: "How many truly grassroots geniuses can actually get in? Are recommendation letters from the main city so easy to obtain?"

"As for how much advanced knowledge you can learn once you get in, the knowledge you can learn in the outer academy can also be learned in other advanced soul master academies, and perhaps even with more preferential treatment in terms of resources." Fu Yu toyed with his teacup. "Countless families and forces send their best young generation to Shrek Academy to study, but are they really there to learn?"

"If we're talking about research on martial souls, Shrek Academy is indeed the most extensive, but the most in-depth research is another matter."

"In terms of research on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, is Shrek Academy truly superior to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School? And similarly, are the Xuanming Sect's Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield, the Star Luo Sect's Star Crown, the White Tiger, and so on, really more deeply researched than these ancient, millennia-old institutions?"

As Fu Yu spoke, the disdain on his face grew even stronger: "As for the inner courtyard, I look down on it even more. The cultivation environment, resources, and knowledge in the inner courtyard are indeed far superior to those in the outer courtyard."

"But what did they pay for that? The lives of the students. Every student who joins the Inner Academy is forced to join the Shrek Inspection Team and go to various places in the three continents to handle all kinds of missions."

"But where are those who should really be mobilized? In the Sea God Pavilion, in the Colosseum, in the auction house, in everything that represents Shrek City's wealth."

"Only the students are handling the incident and fighting against the evil spirit masters. But didn't these people come to Shrek Academy to cultivate better? Why are they doing things that aren't their responsibility?"

"Doesn't Shrek Academy claim to be the guardians of the continent? Why aren't the elders going?"

Ning Qingyun and Elder Wu shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

Is this something you should be thinking about at your age? Even they only seriously consider this question when they become leaders of various forces, and then they are powerless to change it.

Ning Qingyun smiled and interrupted Fu Yu before she could say anything more.

"Xiaoyu, let's not talk about this anymore. Besides, aren't you being a bit too biased towards Shrek Academy? It does have many problems, but the purpose of the inspection team is good."

Fu Yu then took a sip of tea, his fingers unconsciously stroking the rim of the teacup as he spoke.

"Is it biased? But isn't this the reality? Haven't they always done it this way? Uncle Ning, what I'm about to say might be a bit offensive, a bit harsh, I hope you don't mind."

Fu Yu's words made Ning Qingyun smile and wave his hand dismissively.

"Hey, we're just chatting casually, there's no offense involved, Xiaoyu, just say what you want."

Since the other party had already said so, Fu Yu decided to continue speaking.

"I think that Shrek Academy today is far less significant than the Spirit Hall was ten thousand years ago."
