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

Lin Huiqun hesitated for a moment, then ultimately rejected the proposal.

"Then there's nothing I can do. Now it all depends on Elder Mu himself. If he can overcome that hurdle, perhaps the transformation of his martial soul can heal his injuries; otherwise..."

Old Zhuang said helplessly. He knew that it was impossible to invite Wang Xian'er, otherwise, if she knew about Old Mu's health condition, the potential problems would be even greater.

Although the three great empires needed Shrek Academy to fight against the Sun Moon Empire, they also always feared Shrek, just as that person said.

Especially the Star Luo Empire, which has the most powerful national strength. Before the Sun Moon Empire came, the Star Luo Empire had always been ambitious and wanted to unify the entire continent. If it weren't for Shrek Academy secretly helping the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire, they would have succeeded long ago, and there would have been no place for Shrek Academy to stand.

"I hope he wakes up soon!"

Lin Huiqun sighed again, feeling helpless and deeply worried about the future.

Elder Mu is the pillar of Shrek Academy and one of the three ultimate Douluo of this era. There are two others, and according to their intelligence, those two are in a mysterious force within the Sun Moon Empire. This is not a good thing.

If Elder Mu were to perish, Shrek Academy would be in considerable danger, especially after the loss of Elder Song, which would significantly reduce its deterrent power at the peak of its combat strength.

At the same time, the fierce battle that took place at Shrek Academy was being relayed back to various forces as quickly as possible through various means. Many people were shocked by it and began to have some thoughts about it.

"A level nine soul tool capable of severely injuring both Dragon God Douluo and Gluttonous Douluo."

Inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace, Emperor Xu Jiawei of Star Luo's eyes gleamed, showing great interest in the divine physician and the level-nine soul tool in his hand.

While he was surprised that the Dragon God Douluo was still alive, it wasn't unexpected. After all, he was a super-powerful being at level ninety-nine, whose lifespan was far beyond that of ordinary people, so it was normal for him to still be alive.

To his surprise, the Dragon God Douluo was defeated, and by a soul tool, even with the blessing of the Sea God's Light.

This is very interesting.

It should be noted that before that Dragon God Douluo went into seclusion, he once withstood a level nine soul-guided cannon from the Star Luo Empire. Even though he took the hit head-on, he was not killed, and was not even seriously injured.

To kill that kind of being, at least five level-nine soul-guided cannons would need to be fired in unison.

However, there is now a soul tool that can severely injure the Dragon God Douluo and the Gluttonous Douluo who joined forces, even with the blessing of the Sea God's Light, which is quite extraordinary.

“Brother, judging from the intelligence, the level nine soul tool he is using seems to be different from the level nine soul cannons of the Sun Moon Empire.”

After reading the intelligence report, Xu Jiujiu's eyes lit up with interest; she was very interested in that divine doctor.

The other party not only possesses extraordinary medical skills, but is also a Soul Master capable of creating a Level 9 Soul Tool, and a brand new Level 9 Soul Tool at that, which is of great significance.

In addition, the opponent seems to be able to create a super-large soul-guided mecha, which even killed the Divine Eagle Douluo of Shrek Academy and captured the two deans of Shrek Academy.

If we can win this person over, it will be a qualitative leap for the entire Star Luo Empire.

"That divine doctor has already announced that he will be coming to our Star Luo City. You should go and receive him when he arrives. His abilities are more than worthy of you."

Xu Jiawei laughed and said that he also wanted to win that person over, preferably by binding them to their royal family through marriage.

On his side, his younger sister Xu Jiujiu is the only one of marriageable age, and Jiujiu is quite intelligent and should be able to handle that kind of person.

"She is definitely worthy of me!"

She didn't show any girlish shyness for a long time. As a member of the royal family, she was much more mature than other women her age. She also knew that as a princess, she enjoyed all the resources and privileges of the royal family and therefore had to make sacrifices for the royal family.

Arranged marriages were often the final destination for princesses of the royal family, and all they could do was choose a good partner.

The intelligence indicated that this doctor was exceptional, and as long as his background was legitimate, she wouldn't mind marrying him.

"Have you found out his background?"

Thinking of this, he inquired about the progress of the investigation after a long pause.

In fact, they had already received intelligence about the existence of this divine doctor, but at that time he only showed his powerful medical skills. Now he has revealed his identity as a Soul Master.

"Their accents are from our Star Luo Empire, so they must have grown up here. We just haven't been able to find out yet. We wonder if they were secretly trained by some force."

Xu Jiawei was most satisfied with this point; as long as the other party was from their Star Luo Empire, it would be more likely to persuade and recruit them.

These days, people live for nothing more than fame, fortune, power, and sex, and he can provide all four.

However, the fact that he hadn't been able to find out the other person's background over such a long period of time made him uneasy.

He dared not place a bet lightly if he couldn't ascertain the other party's identity and background, otherwise he would be ripped off if the other party had a grudge against their royal family.

"That's a problem. To find out his identity and background, we probably have to start with his martial spirit. We need to figure out his martial spirit."

Xu Jiujiu was also aware of this. It was indeed not easy to find out the other party's identity based on the existing information alone. In the end, they would have to start with the martial soul.

Names can be faked, appearances can be changed, and identities can be forged, but a martial spirit is real and cannot be faked.

Once the opponent's martial soul can be identified, it can be used as a clue to find out their identity.

"The Zhu family seems to have made some moves recently."

After a long while, he mentioned the Youming Zhu family, which felt strange.

"It seems to have something to do with your older sister. You should visit the Duke's mansion when you have time."

Xu Jiawei was also quite puzzled by this. All he could find out was that the younger sister who had married into the Duke's mansion seemed to be in trouble and was looking for someone.

"Ok!"

After a long while, he nodded and agreed to the matter.

Although they didn't have much contact with her half-sister, they still had some familial ties. It was just a pity that her martial soul was not Star Crown, which was a disadvantage for their Star Crown lineage.

When the Star Crown Martial Soul awakens, it is not as domineering as its Soul Skill. The chance of awakening it has always been low, and less than 10% of the members of the royal family possess the Star Crown Martial Soul.

It was precisely because that older sister awakened not the Star Crown Martial Soul, but her mother's Netherworld Cat Martial Soul, that she married the White Tiger Duke.

After all, the White Tiger and the Netherworld Cat are a perfect match.

"The Sun Moon Empire is becoming increasingly restless, and now that Shrek Academy has suffered such a setback, I'm afraid their peaceful days are numbered."

When Xu Jiawei spoke of the Sun Moon Empire, a deep worry lingered in his eyes.

Based on the available intelligence, the Sun Moon Empire is clearly well prepared and another major war is likely to break out. Even if the Star Luo Empire manages to withstand the attack, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses and may even face the risk of annihilation.

"It's all Shrek's fault. If they hadn't secretly supported the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire, our Star Luo Empire would have unified the continent before the Sun Moon Empire arrived. With the combined power of the entire continent, we could have definitely destroyed the Sun Moon Empire."

Xu Jiujiu was very dissatisfied with Shrek Academy. As a princess of the Star Luo Empire, she knew far more than ordinary people, including the historical truths that had happened in the past and some secrets that were not recorded in history books, which were passed down in their royal family.

The Sun and Moon Continent arrived more than four thousand years ago. Before that, their Star Luo Empire had fought with the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire to the north for more than five thousand years. They had many opportunities to defeat the two empires and unify the continent, but they failed for inexplicable reasons.

Shrek Academy was involved in all of these things in secret. If Star Luo had unified Douluo Continent earlier and gathered the resources and strength of the entire continent to cultivate Soul Masters, they would never have been so badly defeated by the Sun Moon Empire back then. Instead, Shrek Academy would have had to step up and act as the savior.

That's outrageous!

"Shrek wanted to become the Spirit Hall of ten thousand years ago, but unfortunately their foundation was far inferior."

With a cold laugh, Xu Jiawei, as an emperor, was certainly aware of Shrek's little scheme.

If Shrek Academy hadn't had inherent limitations, and if the Spirit Hall hadn't served as a cautionary tale, making the three great empires wary and on guard, Shrek Academy wouldn't have been the number one city in the world, but rather the Shrek Empire.

Despite Shrek Academy's voluntary reduction in faculty size, they still possess the Sea God's Decree, which can summon all graduates of Shrek Academy to obey orders.

With the existence of the Sea God's Decree, the self-limitation of the number of teachers has long been a mere formality.

In this respect, it is even more terrifying than the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago. At least the Spirit Hall never took the initiative to interfere in national politics and the military. If Shrek Academy were to accumulate enough resources and find an opportunity, it might really transform into the Shrek Empire.

"Brother, I don't understand why the dean of Shrek Academy suddenly changed his attitude back then?"

When asked about a question that had been lingering in her mind, she mentioned that she had that question when reading the secret history of that battle more than four thousand years ago.

Judging from the situation at the time, the dean of Shrek Academy had already taken control of the legions of the three great empires, and all the generals in the army came from Shrek Academy. He could completely turn the tables and destroy the three great empires, thus establishing a Shrek Empire.

Even their Star Luo Empire investigated those generals back then and obtained concrete evidence. Shrek Academy did indeed have that intention, but the dean suddenly changed his mind, which was really strange.

"Only gods can change the attitude of such people."

Xu Jiawei looked up at the sky outside the window.

He knew that the reason why the Star Luo Empire had been unable to unify the continent was only superficially due to the existence of Shrek Academy; the real problem lay with the gods of the God Realm.

Putting himself in the emperor's shoes, he could understand the thoughts of the gods. In the end, it was just the same old trivial matters, not much different from those of the mortal world.

Even the disappearance of the Martial Soul Empire back then seems to have been orchestrated by the God Realm, which had long been an obstacle to their world's further progress.

As long as the realm of gods exists, there will never be a chance for them to unify.

"The previous plan remains the same. We must use the competition two years from now to intensify the conflict between the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy. Only when the two sides start fighting each other in advance can we reap the benefits."

Xu Jiawei changed the subject, saying that although Shrek Academy was powerful, it was not invincible. The other party had become a thorn in the side of the Sun Moon Empire after that war.

If the Sun Moon Empire wants to unify the continent, it will inevitably have to eliminate Shrek Academy first.

Both sides are still wary of each other, so they're adding fuel to the fire, trying to get them to fight each other prematurely, ideally resulting in mutual destruction or even mutual annihilation.

“My sister understands.”

Nodding solemnly, Xu Jiujiu was well aware of the importance of this plan.

They had already prepared for the competition two years later, sowing discord between the Sun Moon Empire, the Heavenly Soul Empire, and Shrek Academy from all sides, drawing the Sun Moon Empire's attention more towards Shrek and the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Even if we were to fight, we would have to fight Shrek Academy and the Heavenly Soul Empire first.

"By the way, Your Majesty, do you still remember that White Tiger Guard from eleven years ago?"

Thinking about her sister Zhu Qingxia, or rather Xu Qingxia, Xu Jiujiu suddenly thought of someone from eleven years ago, the first man who had piqued her interest.

She was still young at the time, but she heard about that person from her father, who even praised him highly.

"That Yang Erlang?"

Xu Jiawei remembered a name. Although the royal family trusted the Duke's Mansion, they had also planted and bribed many people within it, including the White Tiger Guards, who knew about the attack on Dai Hao back then, as well as the White Tiger Guard Yang Erlang who suddenly appeared.

Even the Emperor praised him highly, saying that he had some of the brilliance of a genius from ten thousand years ago.

The emperor even planned to send someone to recruit the other party, but unfortunately the person mysteriously disappeared. Even Dai Hao sent people back to investigate, but they didn't seem to know where the other party went, and then there was no news of them since.

Why are you asking this?

Looking at his younger sister with confusion, Xu Jiawei couldn't understand why she was asking about that person.

"Father said that Yang Erlang has the demeanor of a prodigy, and now a divine doctor has appeared. The soul tool he created can severely injure even the Dragon God Douluo, and even destroy the phantom of the Sea God. This must be a prodigy."

The repeated appearance of such figures these days, is it foreshadowing something?

He voiced his bold guess, hoping it was true, because then the future would be exciting, and he might even have a chance to succeed.

"You mean the golden age of geniuses is about to begin again?"

Startled, Xu Jiawei understood his sister's thoughts.

Their Star Crown Sect has a long history and personally experienced the golden age ten thousand years ago, witnessing one genius after another. They even indirectly clashed with one of them. Although they suffered heavy losses, they could be considered to have lost with honor.

According to the family's ancient records, the golden age ten thousand years ago was also ushered in by the first prodigy known as the Holy Spirit Sword Saint. After that, prodigies emerged one after another, and even peerless prodigies with combat power comparable to gods appeared.
