Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

As the great-grandson of the Dragon God Douluo, you were born with a responsibility and mission, and you must carry that burden forward in the future.

Revealing the cruel truth, Tian Hao's view of Shrek Academy was similar to that of the Spirit Hall back then: neither of them would allow the major empires to unify the continent, otherwise they would surely be destroyed.

As for the sacrifices caused by this standoff, what does that have to do with anyone else?

The worse the beating, the better.

Beibei was completely stunned when she heard such remarks for the first time. It took her a while to come to her senses and try to refute them, but she was speechless.

I didn't know about this before, and I never thought about it, but now that I've heard about it, anyone with a sound mind can judge its accuracy.

Could it be that Shrek Academy is the real culprit behind the millennia-long war on the continent?

Thinking about this, Beibei felt that her values ​​and beliefs were about to collapse.

"Please, sir, show me how we can survive!"

After a while, Beibei forced herself to calm down, stood up, bowed respectfully, and asked for guidance.

Although the conversation was brief, he deeply appreciated the man's wisdom and insight, recognizing him as a rare sage who might have a solution to the problem.

Tian Hao accepted the bow without hesitation and said, "Ever since Shrek Academy decided to stand up and gain independence, there has been no way back. We can only move forward, unify the continent, and establish a political system with Shrek as the main body."

Unfortunately, although your academy's dean back then was very decisive, he wasn't enough. He missed the best opportunity. After that incident, the three great empires would definitely take targeted precautions. It's no longer possible for Shrek Academy to be able to rally a large following and integrate the military forces of the three great empires as it was back then.

To break the deadlock again, one must possess extraordinary power, such as a god.

I've heard that Shrek Academy once nurtured a god. If we could nurture another god, relying on absolute power to sweep away everything and establish a new political system centered on Shrek, then as long as no fools emerge in our descendants, it wouldn't be difficult for it to exist forever.

In Tian Hao's view, the only way to break the deadlock was for Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong to appear and extend the life of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect. Without the deterrent effect of those two becoming gods in the end, Shrek Academy and Tang Sect would have been wiped out long ago.

Even so, this deterrent effect did not last, and Shrek was eventually blown up.

That was not accidental, but inevitable. Shrek had developed itself into an obstacle, especially for those ambitious and ruthless individuals. If they didn't destroy you, who would they destroy?

Beibei fell silent. This was indeed a method, but how difficult it was to cultivate a god. For tens of thousands of years, no god had appeared on the continent.

"Sir, you mentioned the Tang Clan earlier. Is there some hidden reason behind the decline of our Tang Clan?"

Tang Ya did not disturb Bei Bei's silent contemplation, and respectfully inquired about the Tang Clan from the masked man opposite her.

The other party had mentioned the Tang Clan before, which made her take it very seriously.

She is determined to rebuild the Tang Clan, and she must avoid the mistakes the Tang Clan made in the past. This includes not only the idea of ​​combining soul tools and Tang Clan hidden weapons proposed by Bei Bei, but also other aspects that need attention.

The person before them was undoubtedly a rare wise man, with a profound understanding of the essence of things, and able to see aspects that they could not.

If I could get guidance from this person, I would be able to avoid many detours in rebuilding the Tang Clan in the future, and even avoid repeating the mistakes that led to the Tang Clan's decline.

Chapter 694 Light-Speed ​​Slap in the Face

While pondering, Bei Bei looked up at the person opposite her when Tang Ya asked her such a question, wanting to hear that person's opinion on the decline of the Tang Clan.

"Wasn't the Tang Clan wiped out?"

Tian Hao expressed a hint of surprise, as if he was wondering if the Tang Clan still had successors.

"Xiaoya is a surviving member of the Tang Clan!"

Seeing Tang Ya's gloomy expression, Bei Bei offered an explanation.

"I see!"

With a knowing tone, Tian Hao continued to deceive, "There are many reasons for the destruction of the Tang Clan, but two of them are the most important: they brought about their own demise."

First, the Tang Clan is complacent. I have read some information about the Tang Clan and found that their hidden weapons have not changed much over tens of thousands of years. In this era, not progressing is itself a form of regression, and it is normal for them to be eliminated.

Secondly, the Tang Clan was too foolish. They used most of the money they earned from selling hidden weapons to improve the lives of ordinary people in impoverished areas and to build public facilities such as schools.

This is a good thing in the eyes of most people, but for those in power, it is a usurpation of their power. For an empire, the will of the people is the foundation of power.

If the Tang Clan gains greater prestige among the common people, it will make some people very uneasy.

The fact that the Tang Sect is related to the Shrek Academy's Haotian Sect, and that it seems to have been founded by a god, is why many forces haven't openly tried to destroy it.

However, in my opinion, the final destruction of the Tang Sect was a test by some people against Shrek Academy, while simultaneously cutting off one of Shrek Academy's external arms.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

After finishing his explanation, Tian Hao asked a question, and if the person still didn't understand, he could explain it in more detail.

The rise and fall of major powers is essentially a game of power; the victors prosper forever, while the losers decline and perish. This principle applies even at the national level.

Beibei and Tangya both fell silent. Although they were young, they were both very mature for their age, especially Tangya, who had experienced the tragedy of her family being wiped out. The death of her relatives made her even more mature.

Combining his own memories of the Tang Clan, he suddenly realized with sadness that this seemed to be the truth.

This is probably one of the reasons why the Clear Sky Sect and Shrek Academy did not come to their aid or avenge the Tang Sect.

"Are you a Soul Master, sir?"

After a long silence, Beibei suddenly asked a question.

"Hmm, I'd like to check out the Soul Guidance Department at Shrek Academy. If it's suitable for my future research, I'll become a teacher there."

Nodding slightly, Tian Hao indicated that he was a noble Soul Master.

"May I ask what level of soul tool you can currently create, sir?"

Beibei was even more curious, and even Tang Ya, who had recovered a little from her loss and sadness, looked up.

"I created an electromagnetic gun a few days ago with power comparable to a level seven soul tool. However, it can only be used once at its maximum power. It still needs further improvement."

His expression remained calm; Tian Hao had absolute confidence in this stepping stone.

“We are about to return to the academy. Why don’t you come with us to the academy, sir? I will arrange for you to meet Vice Dean Fan Yu of the Soul Guidance Department. He is an eighth-level Soul Guidance Master. You will surely have a lot in common.”

Beibei stood up and extended an invitation. He valued this mysterious person more and more. Not only was the person exceptionally intelligent, but the two guards behind him were also extraordinary. In particular, the man's hidden killing intent made him feel terrified. He probably had more than a hundred lives on his hands.

To have such guards protecting him, his identity must be extraordinary.

The claim that they can manufacture level-seven soul tools is probably true. Level-seven soul tool masters are extremely rare, not only in their Douluo Continent but also in the Sun Moon Empire.

With this new member joining the academy's Soul Guidance Department, their Soul Guidance system will definitely be able to advance further.

We must recruit such a big shot into the academy as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a loss for the entire academy.

"Alright!"

Tian Hao stood up, thinking it would be good to get into Shrek Academy as soon as possible.

Seeing that the other party agreed, Beibei quickly led the way, and Tang Ya followed behind with her head down.

Zhao Ju and Zhao Lian'er, who remained silent throughout, were speechless and shocked, truly never expecting Erlang to possess such wisdom.

At the same time, I wonder how Erlang knew that the great-grandson of Dragon God Douluo was in this restaurant?

It's amazing that they can even get them to pay the bill willingly.

The group quickly arrived at Shrek Academy. With Bei Bei leading the way, the guards naturally did not stop them. They passed through Sea God Lake and Shrek Square. Behind the square was the teaching building, whose main colors corresponded to the four colors of the spirit rings. This was the teaching building for the martial spirit system.

Besides, there is a gray teaching building for the Soul Guidance Department. However, compared to the Martial Soul Department's teaching building, the Soul Guidance Department's building is much more shabby, occupying only one-third of the teaching area, and it is located in a relatively remote location. This shows that the Soul Guidance Department is not very popular at Shrek Academy.

Beibei went into the teaching building first to find the vice dean, Fan Yu. He knew a little about the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department; he was a research fanatic who practically lived in the teaching building and laboratory.

That's why he still brought that person over at night, certain that Fan Yu was still there.

Fan Yu was indeed in the lab at the moment, but he wasn't doing an experiment. Instead, he was exercising with his wife who had come to bring him food. He was about to reach a crucial moment when Bei Bei interrupted him, leaving him feeling extremely frustrated.

It was Elder Mu's great-grandson who came; if it were any other student, he would have been kicked out long ago.

However, upon hearing that a level seven Soul Master had come to apply for a position as a Soul Guidance Department teacher, Fan Yu was overjoyed and, disregarding his wife's resentment, personally came down to greet him.

However, upon sensing the Soul Power aura within the other party, which was only at the Soul Venerable level, he couldn't help but frown.

He glanced at Beibei beside him, but didn't immediately say anything.

After all, Beibei is Elder Mu's great-grandson, so we can't let him look too upset. But we can be sure that the kid has been deceived.

Although Soul Masters rely more on the Soul Tools they create themselves, these tools are often linked to their Soul Master level. A level 7 Soul Tool requires the support of a Soul Saint level to create.

How could a Soul Master possibly create a level seven Soul Tool?

If he wanted to give Beibei some face, he would have kicked her out immediately.

You should know that his time is very precious. In order to research soul tools, he rarely even exercised with his wife, which made his wife complain many times.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear that a Level 7 Soul Master had come to apply for the job, but it turns out he was a fraud.

Absolutely despicable!

Not only Fan Yu could see Tian Hao's cultivation level, but Zhou Yi, who followed him down, also sensed it. Although her senses were not as specific as her husband's, she could still roughly judge that he was definitely not a Soul Saint.

This infuriated her. She had finally mustered the courage to have a thrilling time with her husband, only to be disturbed by a swindler.

Most importantly, she was just about to explode when she was stopped halfway through, and the discomfort she felt was indescribable.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more annoyed he was by the swindler in front of him.

"Beibei, you go back first, I'll talk to this gentleman."

Suppressing her anger, Fan Yu gestured to Bei Bei, after all, she had to give this great-grandson of Elder Mu some face, lest he be offended.

"Sir, see you tomorrow!"

Beibei understood, nodded to Tian Hao, and then quickly left with Tang Ya.

He also wanted to go and ask Xuanzu as soon as possible to see if what that person had said was the truth.

Although reason told him that it was most likely true, he still held a sliver of hope.

The two parted ways halfway through their journey. Tang Ya did not immediately return to her dormitory but instead wandered aimlessly.

The conversation at the restaurant had a huge impact on her, and now her mind is in a mess; she wants to be alone for a while.

Leaving aside the two on this side, Fan Yu on the other side did not invite Tian Hao in, but stood there staring intently, her expression becoming increasingly unfriendly.

"You have quite the audacity, actually managing to deceive us Shrek Academy."

With a forced, cold smile, Zhou Yi even manifested her martial spirit, preparing to blast the thing away.

If she really wanted to give face to Mu's great-grandson, she would have crippled him to teach him a lesson: not everyone can be fooled.

The two men's anger left Tian Hao somewhat bewildered. He then guessed that they might have seen through his soul power cultivation level, which was why they thought he was a fraud.

After all, in the current Soul Master system, the level of a Soul Master is linked to the level of a Soul Master. It is indeed impossible for a three-ring Soul Master to create a level seven Soul Guidance Device.
