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

Compared to this gain, the losses in the previous battles were insignificant, since most of those who died in battle were mediocre people who could not become gods.

In the future era, only those at the god level can be considered strong; those below the god level are nothing but ants and cannon fodder, unless they are unreasonable geniuses.

With the soul rings and soul bones of these ferocious beasts, they can quickly cultivate many top geniuses, or even prodigies, and then become gods.

"The teacher's plan is finally going to succeed!"

Yan Shaozhe felt an unprecedented sense of relief; after suppressing his emotions for so long, he finally saw hope.

As long as they cultivate those elemental gods according to the teacher's plan, Shrek Academy will be able to grasp a future, at least no longer feeling as hopeless as before.

"Now is not the time to relax. Geniuses created by using spirit rings are not true prodigies, and they are far inferior to those peerless prodigies."

Long Xiaoyao gave him a warning, saying that when he first came to Shrek Academy, Mu En showed him many secrets, including the era ten thousand years ago.

Ten thousand years ago, the original Shrek Seven Devils, including the Sea God Tang San, were created using high-limit spirit rings and divine herbs. However, apart from Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, the others were no match for true geniuses.

Clearly, those who rely on external aids can at most reach the limit of genius, but cannot cross the threshold of becoming a prodigy, let alone an unparalleled prodigy who can create their own unique system.

That one has now become powerful and assisted Xi Shui in transcending tribulation and becoming a god. He must have figured out the secrets of becoming a god. Next, he will probably push the system he created to the god level, and more and more level 100 gods will be born in the future.

Moreover, he is a level 100 god who achieved this through his own strength, far beyond what a mediocre person like him can compare to.

The future remains challenging, and we cannot afford to relax our efforts in the slightest.

These words made everyone present solemn, realizing how heavy the burden on their shoulders was, and that it was indeed not the time to relax.

"Fanyu, let's go check on those soul-guided instruments. I just saw some corrosion marks on them, probably caused by the Poison Undying technique. I wonder what's inside. It would be best if they could be repaired."

Yan Shaozhe beckoned Fan Yu back to the previous firing range to check the soul guidance instruments.

"There are signs of corrosion, hopefully it's not too serious."

With a serious expression, Fan Yu quickly returned along the same route, and Xian Lin'er followed.

She is the dean of the Soul Guidance Department and an eighth-level Soul Guidance Master. She also has a strong desire for the Soul Guidance equipment that originated from Mingde Hall, especially that Soul Guidance Mecha.

Although they shattered that thing's soul-guided mech last time, revealing a new form, they were unsure whether the other party would use that soul-guided mech again, or mass-produce it.

Moreover, the Sun Moon Empire has clearly developed the Soul Guidance Mech to a certain extent and is likely to mass-produce it in the future. They must also study it. Even if they don't mass-produce it, they must at least know its weaknesses and vulnerabilities so that they can deal with it if they encounter it in the future.

The group returned to the previous shooting range and called over all the members of the Soul Guidance Department. They carefully disassembled the outer shells of the Soul Guidance instruments.

The outer shell is mostly used to protect the main body of the soul tool and does not participate in the function of the soul tool. Simply disassembling it will not cause any problems, and there is no need to worry about damaging it.

"The corrosion is quite severe, and it will take a lot of effort to repair it."

After seeing the disassembled inner shells of the soul guidance instruments, Fan Yu was both happy and worried. He was happy because, based on the current situation, the corrosion only reached the inner shell and the soul guidance core was undamaged. He was worried because repairing the inner shell alone would not be easy, mainly because they lacked materials.

“Take your time repairing it. Yuhao brought the Mingde Hall’s database, which should contain the structural blueprints for these soul-guided devices. Just follow the blueprints and repair it slowly. Besides, there’s still a top-of-the-line set that’s intact.”

Xianlin'er comforted her, saying that she was already very satisfied with all the gains she had made.

"Lin'er, from now on, Fan Yu will be in charge of the Soul Guidance Department. You should focus on your cultivation and reach level 99 as soon as possible."

Yan Shaozhe suddenly spoke up. Compared to Xian Lin'er's talent and achievements in the Soul Guidance System, he valued her talent as a Soul Master more, believing that she had the potential to become a Limit Douluo.

"So what if I've reached the pinnacle? I can't withstand that kind of heavenly tribulation."

With a gloomy sigh, Xian Lin'er also wanted to reach level 100 and become a god, and like Ye Xishui, she wanted to transcend tribulation and become a perfect level 100 god.

However, the power of that heavenly tribulation was too great. She had gone to observe it from afar before, and she had no confidence whatsoever that she could not withstand its might.

Furthermore, she is already a Title Douluo, so she can no longer obtain spirit rings or refine the spirit rings of those ferocious beasts. Even if she obtains a fully equipped spirit bone, it will still not be enough, far from enough.

"You keep practicing. Later, I'll take you to a place where you can have the opportunity to break through your limits. Whether Shrek Academy can turn the tide in the future depends on us."

Yan Shaozhe did not elaborate, but it was indeed impossible for them to transcend the tribulation and become gods on their own. However, with the help of the sea god, the situation would be very different.

In addition, he wanted to communicate with the Sea God in the secret realm to see if he could obtain the inheritance from ten thousand years ago, such as the cultivation methods of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, two of the original Shrek Seven Devils. Those two were the only two true gods among the Shrek Seven Devils who completed the tribulation and became gods.

The Sea God traveled the world for a thousand years and erased many cultivation traditions, especially sword traditions, which he must have collected.

He didn't know the specific reasons why it wasn't passed on before, but now that things have come to this point, and considering that the Sea God himself wants to cultivate a new generation of elemental gods, the stronger the better, he figured the Sea God would loosen the restrictions.

This is their opportunity!

"Dean Xian, the Soul Guidance Department has enough of me."

Fan Yu also spoke up to persuade her. Although he didn't know what kind of opportunity Yan Shaozhe was talking about, since he said so, it must exist. Compared to letting Xian Lin'er waste her time on the Soul Guidance System, it would be better to specialize in the Soul Master System.

“I’ve been cultivating my soul power all along, and researching the soul guidance system doesn’t affect that. Besides, I want to try out their natal soul guidance device.”

According to that bastard's original statement, the God-Making Project is essentially a soul tool, and perhaps we will gain some understanding after we create a soul tool.

Moreover, a natal soul tool can greatly enhance one's strength. If one truly wishes to transcend tribulation and become a god, the natal soul tool might become a breakthrough.

Xian Lin'er did not agree. At her level, simply practicing soul power meditation would not be very effective, at least not in the short term.

In comparison, she believes that the path of natal soul tools has greater potential. If she can create one, there is a high probability that it will increase her soul power level, which is much faster than hard training.

In addition, her martial soul is very special, with a companion weapon martial soul, a dragon spear, which she wants to use as the foundation to create her life soul guide.

Furthermore, I gained some insights from my previous encounter with those level 10 Soul Masters from the Sun Moon Empire, and perhaps I can succeed.

"We cannot delay the cultivation of our soul power."

Recalling the power of the natal soul tools of those level 10 soul masters from the Sun Moon Empire last time, Yan Shaozhe ultimately did not try to persuade them again, but reminded them not to delay the cultivation and improvement of their soul power.

"Dean, leave this to me. You go and study the blueprints for those level-nine soul tools. I will install those intact soul tools for you as soon as possible."

Fan Yu took over the repair work of the soul guidance instruments here. There was no need for Xian Lin'er to waste her time on these trivial matters. It was more important for her to study the secrets of becoming a level nine soul master.

Unfortunately, he's only a Soul Douluo at the moment and it's impossible for him to quickly become a Level 9 Soul Master. But Xian Lin'er is already a Super Douluo. As long as she understands the mysteries of a Level 9 Soul Master, she can immediately advance to that level, which will benefit both of them.

Chapter 762 Refining the Spirit Eye Martial Soul

Leaving aside Xian Lin'er and the others who were researching those soul-guided devices, Zhou Yi brought Huo Yuhao to a dormitory next to her and her husband's dormitory for easy daily care.

"Things are a bit complicated. The Body Sect and the Clear Sky Sect are deliberately trying to drag Shrek Academy into this mess, and the Sun Moon Empire is also deliberately smearing Shrek Academy. Many people misunderstand you now. I've made you a new disguise mask and registered your identity in the academy."

From now on, you must not use your Spirit Eye Martial Soul in front of outsiders. Your contributions should only be announced at the appropriate time…

Zhou Yi explained a lot to Huo Yuhao. She had been thinking about how to take care of the child since the last great battle.

Compared to others, she could better understand the child's current feelings and situation.

Because she and her husband were blind to his true worth, they turned him away and expelled him from Shrek Academy, which led to a series of events. In recent years, she has felt the most guilty and remorseful every time the academy has been robbed.

Having had such an experience, one would naturally have an unparalleled understanding of Huo Yuhao's current situation.

"Teacher Zhou, what are the goals of the Haotian Sect and the Body Sect in the Sun Moon Empire?"

After listening attentively to Zhou Yi's explanation, Huo Yuhao inquired about the purpose of the Body Sect and the Clear Sky Sect in the Sun Moon Empire. The fact that the Sun Moon Empire was so furious in its revenge must mean that it wasn't just about killing people; there must be something else involved.

"Our people went to Mingdu, which has been greatly damaged by Haotian Sect and Body Sect. The entire Sun Moon Imperial Palace is covered by the poison gas of Poison Must Die, turning it into a dead end. In addition, the Sun Moon Crown Prince is preparing for his wedding and enthronement ceremony. I'm afraid the Sun Moon Emperor is also nearing his end."

Their true objective was to develop a soul tool that could transform the body into a martial soul; based on current intelligence, they seem to have succeeded.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Yi finally revealed the truth.

After the incident broke out, they immediately contacted their people in the Sun Moon Empire, learned about the situation, and understood why the Sun Moon Empire was retaliating so fiercely.

It can only be said that the Body Sect and the Haotian Sect are even more insane. They not only slaughtered the Mingde Hall, but also turned the imperial palace into a dead zone. Even the Sun and Moon Emperor suffered a disaster. It would be strange if they weren't insane.

Although she deeply resented the attack by the Sun Moon Empire, she would not distort the facts; the facts were as they were.

Huo Yuhao's mind was buzzing. He really hadn't expected the Haotian Sect and the Body Sect to be so crazy. If he had known this earlier, he would never have gotten involved, which led to Shrek Academy suffering such a calamity.

"What about Senior Brother Xu and the others..."

Forcing himself to calm down, Huo Yuhao inquired about the situation of Xu He and the others, but he could already guess in his heart that those people were probably in grave danger.

This is a really big deal!

"They were chosen because they were sufficiently aware of their mission, and their sacrifice was worthwhile."

Zhou Yi could only say this now: she had personally examined the bodies of those eight children. The Sun Moon Empire still had some bottom line; the children had no wounds on their bodies, so they obviously hadn't been tortured before they died. This was the only consolation.

"I want to go and pay my respects to them!"

With his fists clenched tightly, Huo Yuhao felt even more guilty. It was all his fault!

"Put on your mask and come with me!"

Zhou Yi did not refuse. She gestured for Huo Yuhao to put on the mask, then turned and walked out of the dormitory. Huo Yuhao put on the disguise mask and draped the large cloak over his head, covering his entire head with the hood, before quickly following her.

The two walked through the underground passage for more than half an hour before arriving at a cold and huge space where memorial tablets were placed. These tablets belonged to the teachers and students of the academy who had perished in the disasters of recent years, including the tablet of Mu En.

Zhou Yi led Huo Yuhao to a place where eight memorial tablets stood side by side, representing the eight people who had gone to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy for exchange and study last time.

"Isn't there one for Senior Brother Xu?"

Upon seeing the eight memorial tablets, Huo Yuhao felt a pang of pain in his heart, but then, upon not finding Xu He's name, he was overjoyed.

Could it be that Senior Brother Xu is still alive?

"The odds are against him. Xu He is from the Sun Moon Empire and has royal blood, but he was exiled due to internal royal struggles. His identity will inevitably be exposed this time, and I'm afraid..."

Zhou Yi didn't continue, but the meaning of her words was already clear.

Actually, they had been hesitant about whether to set up a memorial tablet for Xu He, mainly because they didn't know if Xu He was really dead. They were fantasizing about escaping with Huo Yuhao. Unfortunately, this time Elder Long only brought back Huo Yuhao, and Xu He was obviously left behind in the Sun Moon Empire.

The reason the body wasn't returned last time was probably due to its identity.

Now we can set up a memorial tablet for that child.

Huo Yuhao's mind went blank, and he knelt on the ground, filled with immense regret and self-reproach.

"This is not your fault!"

Zhou Yi raised her hand and pressed it on the boy's shoulder to comfort him. She didn't think it was Huo Yuhao's fault; it was all the fault of that damned Body Sect and Haotian Sect.

That's outrageous!

After the memorial service, Huo Yuhao was comforted and returned to his dormitory. He remained silent for several days before his emotions recovered somewhat. Then, he integrated into the various research projects of the Soul Guidance Department under his new identity and, together with Xian Lin'er, reviewed and deciphered the materials of Mingde Hall.

Having gleaned knowledge from his spying at Mingde Hall, he was able to gain a better understanding of it, and his progress was in no way inferior to Xian Lin'er's. In fact, the two could even discuss things together, deepening their understanding of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance System.

Fan Yu and the others focused on repairing the soul guidance equipment, and even had to contact Dai Hao to obtain support in the form of special metals.

Although Huo Yuhao also looted Mingde Hall's material warehouse, Mingde Hall's main work is research, not manufacturing, and it does not stockpile too many special materials unless there is a mission from the royal family.

That materials warehouse focuses more on comprehensiveness, containing all the special materials discovered by the Sun Moon Empire, but the reserves are not very large, making it difficult to support the repair of those soul-guided devices.

Therefore, cooperating with Dai Hao was inevitable. Then the Body Sect and the Haotian Sect arrived, and they came with Dai Hao, which clearly indicated that they had already reached a cooperation agreement with Dai Hao beforehand.
