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

But this is also a kind of helplessness. This is a problem that existed from the very beginning of Shrek Academy. The Shrek Seven Devils have all become gods and have connections with many forces, especially the Star Luo Empire.

If we really want to destroy all forces and unify the continent, we won't be able to get past the gods.

Although the gods on Shrek Academy's side were almost wiped out, outsiders didn't know the outcome of that battle and assumed that all of Shrek's gods had ascended to the God Realm.

With this deterrent in place, Shrek couldn't even entertain such thoughts.

This is an inherent limitation, a dead end, and there's no way to solve it.

He even speculated that the Shrek Academy Dean who led the three great empires to defeat the Sun Moon Empire more than four thousand years ago might have wanted to take the opportunity to unify the continent, but was probably persuaded by the intimidation of the Tang God King and gave up.

Tang Shenwang is absolutely capable of doing such a thing; in the near future, he even forced the Sun Moon Empire to change its name to the Heavenly Dou Empire.

For the divine realm, unity and cohesion within its subordinate planes is not a good thing.

This applies to any power. For example, if an emperor doesn't want his ministers to be united, then a change of dynasty would be necessary.

This is a very simple principle, so not only do mortal emperors play the game of balancing imperial power, but the gods do it too.

"Bullshit! It was you who took away so many special metals from the city, which seriously affected the development of our academy. You're retaliating against us."

Xianlin'er, who had been silent until now, couldn't help but retort. She still harbored deep resentment towards this person for disrupting the city's special metal market. Coupled with the disaster caused this time, it would be even more difficult for their Soul Guidance Department to develop in the academy in the future, and they might even be ostracized.

"I earn money through my own abilities, and then I use that money to buy special metals. Is there a problem with that?"

Don't get me wrong, Shrek City is yours, but the merchants inside are not yours, and their goods are not your private property.

As for revenge, I'm not that bored. I need a lot of special metals to continue my research, which has nothing to do with Shrek Academy.

Furthermore, as prisoners of war, they must be prepared to be prisoners.

He said it calmly, then activated the third soul ring on the Soul-Breaking Spear. The lightning-attribute soul power erupted in Xian Lin'er and Yan Shaozhe's bodies, causing their hair to stand on end, their bodies to convulse, their eyes to roll back, their mouths to drool, and even a little water to flow from their bodies.

Given their cultivation levels, it was impossible for them to be so badly affected by this lightning. However, after such a long time, their soul power had been completely devoured. Without soul power, their physical strength alone was naturally insufficient to withstand it.

Once the lightning-attribute soul power was exhausted, the two of them lowered their heads, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Xian Lin'er, in particular, was so ashamed and angry that she went crazy.

Yan Shaozhe felt even more resentful and depressed. He hadn't said a word, so why was he being tormented like this?

Furthermore, he could clearly sense that Xianlin'er had soaked his trouser legs, which showed that even a goddess wasn't perfect.

"You fool me!"

Zhang Lexuan finally realized that she had been tricked by that thing. She was so angry that she glared at it and couldn't help but manifest her martial soul again.

This thing is infuriating!

Just as his martial soul manifested, a long spear suddenly shot out from the side and pinned him to the ground. A strange force disrupted the soul power within his body and began to devour it, causing the martial soul that had just manifested to disintegrate and return to his body.

That wasn't all. A surge of electricity erupted, causing him to tremble all over, his eyes to roll back, drool to flow, and some water to seep out from under him.

"Sister Xuan!"

Bei Bei, standing nearby, was extremely anxious. Just after Zhang Lexuan manifested her martial soul again, he secretly cursed, realizing that he had indeed angered his master.

“When facing a strong person, you must show enough respect. I’ve tolerated you several times for Beckham’s sake. Since you like being a prisoner so much, then stay and keep them company.”

Looking down at the girl pinned to the ground by the Soul-Breaking Spear, Tian Hao had no intention of showing her any pity. What he was thinking about was taking the opportunity to study her body and martial soul.

He had never encountered a Moon Martial Soul before, so he could study it and compare it with Xu He's Sun Martial Soul to see what the differences were.

"gentlemen……"

Beibei was even more anxious. Xuanjie had come with him this time, and now she was severely injured and taken prisoner, so he was naturally worried.

"I avoided her internal organs; this shot only caused a superficial wound. I will release her when Shrek Academy fulfills those three conditions."

You can go back now. Don't let those people do anything foolish again. My kindness has its limits.

Tian Hao gave a reminder, then took out the tent and began to set it up. After all, they would be staying here for three days. He could sit there idly, but Zhao Ju and the other three couldn't. Moreover, he wanted to use the tent as cover to conduct some shady research on the three prisoners.

Zhao Ju and Jiang Nannan stepped forward to help, while Tang Ya went to Bei Bei.

“Sister Xuan will be fine with me taking care of her. You have important things to do, so don’t let things get worse.”

She didn't want things to turn out this way, and she certainly didn't want anything worse to happen. The teachers were fine, but the situation at Shrek Academy was uncertain. Who knew if someone might try to take advantage of the situation and cause trouble?

"I'm going back to see Grandpa Xuan. I'll leave Sister Xuan and the Dean in your care."

After confirming that Zhang Lexuan was indeed out of danger, Bei Bei finally felt relieved, nodded to Tang Ya, and got up to run quickly towards Shrek City.

He was also afraid that those people in the academy would take another risk, and things absolutely could not be allowed to deteriorate any further.

He had no power to resolve or dissuade them from doing so, so he could only go to Xuanzu and ask him to order the suppression of those people.

A kilometer was nothing to Bei Bei, and with her martial spirit in control, she quickly returned and went straight to find Grandpa Xuan, who was receiving treatment from Elder Zhuang.

Elder Zhuang is also a senior member of the Sea God Pavilion. His martial soul is the Tree of Life, and he is skilled in healing. Although he is not as specialized in healing as the Immortal Doctor Douluo of the Star Luo Empire, he is still very capable. As long as someone has a breath left, he can save them.

Thanks to Dr. Zhuang's best efforts in treating him, Mu En finally recovered, but his condition was still very poor.

He injured his spine in a previous battle with the Poisonous Death of the Undying Sect. Afterwards, he forcibly swallowed and refined the Dragon Pill, which damaged his very essence and impaired his bodily functions. If it weren't for the blessing of the Golden Ancient Tree and the Light of the Sea God, he would have died long ago.

This time, he withstood the onslaught repeatedly, even though he only managed to deflect the attacks and didn't withstand them all head-on. However, he still suffered severe injuries after many of these attacks, with many of his bones broken.

"Pass down the order: no one is to leave the city without my command. Anyone who disobeys will be killed on the spot."

After hearing the intelligence brought back by his great-grandson, Mu En gave the order with a grim expression.

Only after enduring the onslaught of those soul-guided weapons did he truly understand the terror of such a weapon. Not to mention him, even the Sea God's clone was blown up, truly possessing the power to slay gods.

What's most terrifying is that this kind of soul tool is a single-target, concentrated type of attack, which is far more threatening to the strong than the level nine soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire. If he hadn't been able to activate the Light of the Sea God, he would have been crippled even if he didn't die from being hit by it.

Compared to the limited number of level nine soul-guided cannons, the opponent's cannons are obviously capable of firing continuously. Although they seem to require the help of celestial phenomena to gather lightning power for energy, they are still a devastating weapon.

If a fight were to break out again, even if they managed to kill the opponent, Shrek Academy would be wiped out.

Not to mention that it's not even certain that they can kill the opponent. Their bodies, made of special metal, have extremely strong defensive capabilities and can be immune to all attacks below the level of Super Douluo. Even Super Douluo would find it difficult to break through them.

It's likely that only he and Xuanzi have the power to destroy that kind of body, but both of them have suffered severe injuries and can barely move, let alone fight.

Shrek no longer has the strength to fight their opponent and must endure.

"I'll go and relay the order right away."

An old man received the order and hurriedly flew out to relay it. He was also terrified and didn't want anyone else to anger the monster.

"Fan Yu, have you figured it out yet?"

Mu En looked at Fan Yu who was walking over. Although they had handed over those four people, they had copied the other party's soul tool.

This is a soul skill belonging to one of their teachers, capable of replicating physical matter.

It's a pity that the black battle suits worn by those four people had the effect of blocking mental power; otherwise, using a mental-type soul skill would have allowed them to directly obtain the memories of those four people, and the effect would have been even better.

"It's very complicated. I only understand a little bit of it. It is indeed a completely new soul guidance system. Even if it can be replicated, it will be very bulky and difficult to make it that small. It can only be used as a city defense tool."

Fan Yu replied with a complex expression, feeling regret, shock, and a touch of surprise.

Simply by thoroughly researching this electromagnetic gun, they could improve their Soul Guidance System several times over, even surpassing the Martial Soul System. They wouldn't even need to fear the Sun Moon Empire's Level 9 Soul Guidance Cannon anymore.

He rejected this groundbreaking new soul guidance system back then, even driving people out, which has now turned into a tragedy.

He is now filled with deep regret. How could he have been so arrogant and blind to reason?

"In the future, the academy's resources will be tilted towards the Soul Guidance Department, and it may really become the future of the Soul Guidance Department."

Upon hearing that it could be copied, Moon's expression softened, and he immediately gave instructions.

Although he knew that the peak of a Soul Master was also terrifying, capable of slaying gods with a mortal body, reaching that level was too difficult.

In contrast, the Soul Master system now has a shortcut that has also demonstrated the power to slay gods.

Furthermore, the opponent's massive soul-guided armor already possesses the power to directly confront a Super Douluo.

Moreover, they are continuing their research and may develop even more terrifying soul tools in the future.

The existence of that person will inevitably cause the Soul Master system to surge, and the Soul Master system simply cannot compete with it.

"I will do everything in my power to analyze the electromagnetic gun."

With a solemn and resolute assurance, Fan Yu was well aware of his responsibility in this incident. Only by quickly analyzing and replicating the core of the electromagnetic gun could he atone for his sins.

Even if it costs me everything, I must replicate it.

With electromagnetic guns and even electromagnetic cannons, Shrek Academy will become even stronger, and they will be confident in dealing with any future attacks.

"We can't just sit here and wait to die. The hatred has already been sown, and they will definitely come back to Shrek Academy in the future. Once I've recovered from my injuries, I'll go and wipe that brat out."

Xuanzi, who was receiving treatment from Elder Zhuang nearby, said resentfully, "This fight was so frustrating!"

In order to protect the teachers and students of Shrek Academy, he had no choice but to use his body to attract and withstand the electromagnetic cannon, just like Elder Mu. Otherwise, even if he rushed over at his own speed, the electromagnetic cannon would be enough to cause incalculable casualties to the academy.

It was so frustrating to play like this!

Moreover, Shrek Academy suffered heavy losses this time. Elder Song died in battle, a vice dean was killed, and an outstanding junior with a spacetime attribute martial soul was also killed.

He couldn't swallow his anger at the other party's unreasonable demands.

Moon remained silent, but a murderous intent emanated from him as well.

Those who offend Shrek Academy, no matter how far away, will be punished!

Not to mention that the other party also killed members of Shrek Academy; a blood debt must be repaid with blood.

Moreover, they even stole the Demonic Sword of Slaughter, which is one of the two great treasures of their academy and must be taken back.

Furthermore, the opponent is not invincible; they were simply too passive this time. In order to protect the academy, Xuanzi and I had no choice but to use our bodies to withstand the impact of those electromagnetic cannons.

If it weren't for the constraints and concerns from the academy, he could have killed that kid with a single swipe of his claw.

The power of a Limit Douluo is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, not to mention that he can also use the Light of the Sea God to unleash combat power comparable to a level 100 god.

This grudge must be avenged, and I have the ability to do so.

Moreover, it's not just about revenge; the opponent is too much of a threat. Putting aside whether they can create even more powerful soul tools, their current electromagnetic cannon alone is enough to pose a fatal threat to Shrek Academy.

This time, he and Xuanzi were able to barely hold their own against one electromagnetic cannon, but what would they do if the enemy built two, three, or even more electromagnetic cannons next time?

This is what makes Soul Masters so terrifying; if a Soul Master is properly prepared, they can easily kill any Soul Master of the same level.

The hatred had already been sown, and he didn't believe the other party would really let it go. They would definitely strike Shrek again when they were better prepared. They couldn't entrust the safety of the academy to the promises of others; only by striking first could they be on the safe side.

We absolutely cannot let them get into Shrek Academy again.

Seeing Grandpa Xuan's grim expression, Bei Bei wanted to offer some words of advice, but she didn't know how.

He agreed with the gentleman's words, but he couldn't say that Grandpa Xuan and the others were wrong. Most importantly, he had no right to persuade or change Grandpa Xuan and the others' decision.
