Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 766 War Preparations (6K)

In this awkward situation for all three parties, the two great empires of Tianhun and Xingluo tacitly engaged in a frenzied arms race, hoarding all kinds of strategic materials like madmen.

War could break out at any time.

For them, every extra day means they can be better prepared.

The technological gap between them and the world has left them with no initiative.

Even small-scale probing made the two empires cautious and tread on thin ice.

If they want to catch up with the Japanese Empire in terms of technology, what they need most is time.

On this point, the goals of the two great empires and Huo Yuhao coincidentally aligned.

Huo Yuhao also needs time.

He needs time to improve his skills and, incidentally, strengthen his foundation.

After emerging from seclusion, the first thing he set his sights on was the Tang Sect. As the largest supplier of new-style soul tools for the Heavenly Soul and the Star Luo Empire, Tang Ya and Bei Bei were currently overwhelmed by the Tang Sect's insufficient production capacity.

The huge orders they couldn't fulfill made the two of them so upset that they couldn't even eat.

It's fair to say that the opportunity has arrived, and the Tang Clan is like a pig riding the wave. Whether they can take off depends on this opportunity.

Huo Yuhao saw this advantage, which is why he approached the Tang Sect, which was severely understaffed.

The Soul Palace has a group of excellent industrial workers who are all skilled in making soul tools. Do you have any parts that need to be manufactured?

Our Soul Hall fully respects the secrets of the Tang Sect. The final assembly process is entirely carried out by Tang Sect personnel, and we will never interfere. We only need to pay a small processing fee.

Seeing the opportunity to expand production capacity and build good relations with the two great empires of Xingluo and Tianhun within reach, and with the Soul Palace's ridiculously low OEM prices, Beibei and Tang Ya finally couldn't resist the temptation and chose the Soul Palace as their OEM factory, turning Tangmen into a large-scale assembly plant.

Huo Yuhao simply smiled at this.

The Soul Palace's low outsourcing prices are naturally thanks to the liches. For Soul Masters, working eight hours a day is considered a lot, six hours is good, and twelve hours is even more difficult to do, even with extra money.

As for the liches, they work at least twenty hours a day!

Despite Huo Yuhao's outsourcing prices being 30-40% cheaper than other places, he actually earns much more than other forces!

In addition, Huo Yuhao was also trying to improve the combat power of his undead legion. Unfortunately, apart from the Soul Core system, Huo Yuhao had not found any other way to mass-produce and improve the combat power of the undead legion. He could only wait for the undead in the undead legion to try to absorb and control the Soul Core and activate the Soul Master system.

If we don't want to follow the same path as Yinlaix, which nearly wiped out the human civilization of Douluo Continent, collective strengthening is essential.

The Soul Master Legion of the Sun Moon Empire is not a pushover that can be easily dealt with; we must be well prepared.

At this time, the undead who were the first to absorb the soul core in the undead army had already raised their soul power level to level 68.

This is the domineering nature of having a soul core within the body from level one. Almost the instant they absorb the soul core, these undead's soul power level jumps to level twenty, and a day later they reach level thirty. However, the soul power level increases more and more slowly afterward, and to this day, the fastest undead level is only level sixty-eight.

If the contents of a Title Douluo's body are placed inside a low-level Soul Master, it's blatant cheating!

The only pity is that the six white artificial spirit rings without any spirit skills hanging on them are somewhat comical.

However, the lifespan of a spirit ring can be increased. It's just that most of the energy is currently used to condense the spirit core and charge the milk bottle, so all the spirit rings used by these undead life spirit masters are only ten years old. It wouldn't be difficult to change them all to ten thousand years old in the future.

This includes the branch in Shrek City.

The Soul Temple, which was originally located in the center of Shrek City, has acquired a sizable area in the west as a training base for reserve talents.

Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department also uses the guise of exchange to continuously exchange resources and conduct cross-training with the Soul Hall.

Large quantities of rare metals were continuously moved from the Soul Palace's warehouses and transported to Shrek Empire, Heavenly Soul Empire, and Star Luo Empire.

No one knows where these rare metals came from.

As relations between the Sun Moon Empire and the original Douluo Kingdom soured, the prices of rare metals on the black market not only decreased but also increased more than tenfold.

Even with a hefty reward, mules still can't transport rare metals. The rare metals of the Sun Moon Empire require multiple layers of guarantees and verifications for even the major academies to purchase them, let alone those mules who want to buy low and sell high.

The Sun Moon Empire has changed its initial plan, shifting from wanting to amass wealth through smuggling to suppressing the development of soul tools in the Douluo Three Kingdoms, paving the way for the Sun Moon Empire's future conquest and its own rule.

No matter how much they restrict it, the Soul Palace still maintains a large and stable output, and the price has not increased too much.

Even so, in the eyes of the two great empires and Shrek, this was absolutely a charitable deal.

After careful inspection, Xingluo and Tianhun went all out, investing more resources and placing more orders.

Regarding Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance System, Huo Yuhao generously gifted Qian Duoduo several more experimental tables, along with numerous Soul Guidance Device blueprints compiled by the team over this period.

Huo Yuhao always believed that if you treat me with respect, I will treat you with even greater respect.

Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er, and the Soul Guidance Department have always supported me wholeheartedly. As their disciple, how could I be an ingrate?

Now that my power has grown to a considerable size, it's time to repay the kindness shown to me over the years.

Not only did he give away blueprints for various advanced soul tools, but Huo Yuhao also gave away two boxes of level eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, and two level nine ones as well.

They all have their anti-theft components removed, making them easy to disassemble and study, allowing for analysis of their internal structure.

Qian Duoduo didn't ask where these things came from; she just happily accepted them.

The master and disciple both knew the truth, so there was no need to explain it too clearly.

Under this reverse infusion of resources, Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department is developing at an astonishing pace, with new stars constantly emerging in forging and soul guidance.

The original situation, where the Soul Guidance System was weak and the Martial Soul System was strong, is constantly changing.

All parties involved can be said to have benefited from this mutually beneficial arrangement.

Regardless of the era or background, the demand for talent remains constant.

In such mutually beneficial exchanges, the development of both Shrek and other forces can absolutely be described as thriving.

Just then, the day for Elder Mu to break through to level 100 finally arrived.
