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

That's so weird!

"I have learned a lot, but there are still many things I don't understand."

After scratching his sparse hair, Fu Gongfeng used his soul power to lift up the core of the electromagnetic pistol, which was only the size of a peanut, for everyone to see.

"Look at this soul guide core, and then look at this level seven soul guide core that I just made the day before yesterday. Can you see the difference?"

The crowd gathered around to examine it closely, first looking at the level seven soul guide core that Fu Gongfeng had created, which was about the size of a fist. Although the patterns on it were delicate, they were very clear. That was the soul guide array, the core of the soul guide device.

His gaze then turned to the soul guide core of the electromagnetic pistol, and his first reaction was confusion. He looked at Fu Gongfeng with puzzlement.

Are you sure this is a soul guide core?

It was a polyhedral crystal sphere, with no visible patterns on it, perfectly integrated, and with an incredibly smooth surface, so you couldn't see anything.

"Old Li, stop licking that electromagnetic sniper rifle. Come over here and add some lightning attribute soul power, just a little bit."

Knowing the meaning behind everyone's glances, Fu Gongfeng called out to Li Gongfeng, who was still stroking the electromagnetic sniper rifle.

He initially shared the same doubts as everyone else, but after carefully studying the structure of the electromagnetic pistol, he confirmed that it was indeed a soul-guided core.

Upon hearing the call, Li Gongfeng, who was almost like a madman, reluctantly put down the electromagnetic sniper rifle, walked over with his cane, and, following Fu Gongfeng's instructions, injected a little bit of lightning-attribute soul power into the electromagnetic core.

As lightning-attribute soul power was injected, the originally dark soul guide core lit up with dense patterns, the complexity and density of which made everyone's scalp tingle.

"What you see is only the surface. Inside, there are at least a hundred layers of soul-guiding arrays of this density. Moreover, I feel that the patterns are even more intricate, far exceeding what the naked eye can see."

This is a completely new soul guidance inscription system, far surpassing the current soul guidance systems; it is a groundbreaking invention.

Fu Gongfeng's face showed both excitement and pain, and he was very distressed.

What's exciting is that the Soul Master system has finally achieved a groundbreaking breakthrough, allowing it to overtake others on a curve. What's painful is that this ability exceeds the limits of his understanding. Even if the finished product is placed in front of him, he can't understand it, let alone analyze and study it.

This feeling of being able to see something but not be able to have it made him very uncomfortable, and his heart felt like it was being scratched by cat claws.

"If we can analyze it, can we replicate it? It doesn't matter if it's a little off."

Xu Jiawei did not give up. As an emperor, he preferred to have everything under his control.

As long as they can replicate it, even if the efficacy is slightly inferior, they can make up for it with quantity.

"If the magic array can be deciphered, it can be recorded. However, for a magic array of this scale, the core size would probably be very large if it were to be recorded."

After taking another look at the small soul guide core, Fu Gongfeng made a rough judgment and felt that it was a huge project, an exaggerated one.

"How big is it?"

Xu Jiawei pressed further, saying that as long as it wasn't too outrageous, he could accept it; he needed to have this powerful weapon in his hands to feel at ease.

Fu Gongfeng didn't say anything, looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on a palace in the distance.

Everyone looked over in confusion at first, but then seemed to understand something and looked back with disbelief.

Old Fu, are you serious?

"Grandpa Fu, is it really that exaggerated?"

Xu Jiujiu also found it hard to believe; a soul core the size of a palace was simply outrageous.

"The reality may be more exaggerated than I predicted. The inscription of the soul guide core is not as simple as you think. It is not the smaller the better. It is necessary to consider the mutual influence of soul power flow on the array pattern. If you only try to reduce the size of the array, the patterns will inevitably affect each other if they are too close, and it will be difficult to produce the desired effect."

This is related to the purity of the materials. The higher the purity, the smaller the size of the magic array can be. To shrink it to this extent, the purity of the materials has far exceeded our comprehension limits.

Using the purity of existing materials to depict it, the scale becomes so exaggerated.

Fu Gongfeng said helplessly that this was only his current speculation, and he did not yet know exactly how precise this soul guide core was.

If it's even more precise than I predicted, the final core size would be even more exaggerated if I wanted to replicate it.

"Let's study it slowly!"

Rubbing his forehead, which was throbbing with pain, Xu Jiawei realized that it was basically impossible to replicate this. There were two insurmountable obstacles in front of him, and even if he could overcome them, he didn't know how many years it would take.

It seems the only option now is to buy the electromagnetic soul guide from that person. No wonder they were so generous in telling us to disassemble and study it as we pleased; they really have nothing to fear.

"Instead of having us study this, Your Majesty would be better off finding a shortcut to that person."

Fu Gongfeng promptly shirked responsibility, as he had no desire to take on this task. The initial observation alone had given him a headache, and if they were to delve deeper into the research, he feared he would die in the laboratory.

Most importantly, he was self-aware enough to know that even if he studied for a lifetime, he would not be able to achieve any results.

This was far beyond his comprehension; it was an unsolvable problem, and it was a hard gap—either it worked or it didn't, there were no shortcuts.

Xu Jiawei remained silent, then looked at his younger sister. The others also looked at Xu Jiujiu, their meanings clear.

Your Highness, the future of the empire rests on your shoulders.

I tried my best!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she could only reluctantly agree after a long while. She was also feeling uneasy about the matter and had lost her previous confidence.

In previous interactions, that person had been too indifferent to me, their tone was completely flat, and they had never given me a second glance.

Clearly, her identity and appearance were worthless in the other party's eyes and held no appeal whatsoever.

Having lost all her advantages, what can she do?

Most importantly, the other party maintained that steel-like body, and she couldn't tell whether the other party was hiding inside or remotely controlling from somewhere else.

How can she flirt with someone when she can't even meet them in person?

Shall we tease that metal lump?

“Your Majesty, a few days ago, people from Shrek Academy came to the capital and secretly bought up a large amount of special lightning-attribute metals. They are probably also working on imitations. We must be wary of this.”

The Star Shattering Douluo, who had been silent until now, brought up something. He had been puzzled by Shrek Academy's actions, but now he understood.

It turns out that the core of this electromagnetic soul guide is lightning attribute, and the special metal used must also be lightning attribute. Shrek Academy's actions are despicable.

"Damn it, what is Shrek Academy trying to do?"

Cheng Gang was furious. Manufacturing electromagnetic soul tools inevitably requires a large amount of special lightning-attribute metals, but Shrek Academy had come to their capital and bought up all the special lightning-attribute metals in advance. This would definitely affect the subsequent orders for electromagnetic soul tools.

This is restricting their Star Luo Empire!

The others also looked very unhappy, increasingly dissatisfied and even resentful towards Shrek.

"Shrek is getting more and more audacious. Do they really think our Star Luo Empire is their backyard?!"

Xu Jiawei's face was ashen; he had also thought of this.

Although the merchants in the city certainly still have special metals with lightning attributes, the quantity will definitely not be large, and the price will be driven up. Even if the royal family manages to acquire the remaining special metals with lightning attributes, they will inevitably have to pay a higher price.

Shrek is openly ripping them off!

His intentions are truly despicable!

"Shattered Star Offering, please go and destroy all the main roads leading to Shrek City."

With a cold glint in his eyes, Xu Jiawei decisively decided to retaliate and teach Shrek a lesson so that they wouldn't take advantage of him next time.

Shattered Star Douluo nodded, turned and left to prepare for the matter.

His martial soul is the Shattering Star Light, which excels at destruction and wide-range attacks, even capable of destroying space itself, making it ideal for this kind of work.

Xu Jiawei's expression was still very unpleasant. This wave of retaliation was not the end of it. He would raise the tariffs there, three times over, to see how Shrek would continue to develop its trade.

Do you really think I have no temper?

Previously, Shrek Academy was needed to deter and restrain the Sun Moon Empire, but now that we have the Electromagnetic Soul Guidance Device, Shrek Academy is no longer necessary. Yet you are still so arrogant and courting death!

"Your Majesty, the Duke's Mansion has always been on good terms with Shrek."

Zhao Gongfeng suddenly reminded them that although their royal family had always been wary of and resistant to Shrek Academy, the Duke's Mansion had been very friendly. Even the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao had sent his eldest son to Shrek Academy for training, and it was said that he had already become an inner disciple.

Given the relationship between the two sides, things are unlikely to be peaceful at the Duke's mansion.

"The empire now belongs to the Xu family!"

Xu Jiawei took a deep look at everyone present and said something meaningful.

Although the Xu family took over the throne from the Dai family back then, it wasn't really peaceful and friendly. There were many schemes involved. Otherwise, do you really think the Dai family would give up the throne so easily?

He also knew that the Duke's mansion had been trying to reclaim the throne for thousands of years, otherwise they wouldn't have been so persistent in holding onto control of the elite Western Army Group.

Now that they have ascended to the throne, the Xu family will never give it up.

The White Tiger Clan has a divine ancestor protecting them, plus the support of Shrek Academy, so no one dares to exterminate them. But the Xu family doesn't have a divine ancestor, nor does it have the power to protect them like Shrek Academy.

If he were to be dethroned, he would surely die and his entire clan would be exterminated.

The struggle for the throne within one's own family is so cruel and bloody that it can cause fathers and sons to kill each other and brothers to kill one another, let alone the competition between two families.

There is no turning back on this path; the Xu family will absolutely not back down.

"We swear to serve Your Majesty to the death!"

Giant Hammer Douluo was the first to bow and express his loyalty, and the others followed suit, pledging allegiance to the royal family.

This is not a problem to consider. Before the advent of electromagnetic soul tools, their royal family could not compete with Shrek Academy. But now that they have electromagnetic soul tools, as long as they form a large enough force, it would not be a problem to flatten Shrek Academy. Even if Dragon God Douluo came, a salvo from hundreds of electromagnetic sniper cannons would turn him into a sieve, not to mention there are also electromagnetic cannons.

With this power as their foundation, Shrek's deterrent effect has dropped to rock bottom. Do they even need to think about what to do?

Moreover, the fact that His Majesty did not summon Xuanji Douluo this time already speaks volumes. It should be noted that Xuanji Douluo is close to the Duke's Mansion and is a close friend of the previous generation's White Tiger Grand Duke.

Clearly, His Majesty has always been wary of the Duke's mansion.

Leaving aside the thoughts of everyone in the palace, in the other mansion, Tian Hao was thinking about Shrek Academy's actions.

"You've actually come to buy special materials with lightning attributes? I've overestimated your intelligence."

Recalling the information he had secretly obtained from Xu Jiujiu's memories, Tian Hao was quite disappointed with Shrek Academy's actions.

Although everything was the result of his secret guidance, it was too foolish for Shrek to act so directly, and they weren't even on guard.

Don't they realize that if they agreed to sell electromagnetic weapons to the three great empires, and the special lightning-attribute metal, a key material for forging electromagnetic soul guides, was taken away by Shrek Academy in advance, what would the three great empires think?

"Shrek's days are probably going to be tough."

With a slight chuckle, Tian Hao wanted to see how Shrek Academy would handle the aftermath.

In any case, the three great empires will definitely react, especially after learning about the power of the electromagnetic soul tool and the fact that it can be used. Shrek's deterrent power will inevitably be greatly weakened, and it will no longer be feared by the three great empires.

"If you keep pouting like that, your mouth will be big enough to hold a urinal."

Turning his gaze to Tang Ya, who was flipping through the textbook for studying Soul Masters, Tian Hao said with amusement.

This girl is really petty.
