Douluo: I mess around in Tangmen

Yan Shaozhe watched the interaction between the group at the door, a faint smile playing on his lips. He raised his hand in a gesture of invitation, saying, "Gentlemen, the time has come. Let's continue the discussion inside. Let's not keep the elders of the Sea God Pavilion waiting."

As soon as he finished speaking, the relaxed atmosphere that had been hanging over the city gate subsided slightly. The three empresses nodded to each other, and led their important ministers and the Guardian Douluo, following Shi Xing and the three deans into Shrek Academy's ancient brick road.

"Where's Xu Jiujiu? That guy shouldn't be late."

Xu Tianzhen's gaze swept across the entire main entrance. Logically speaking, for a meeting of this level, Xu Jiujiu, that guy who only knew etiquette but not soul tools, would not be late.

Moreover, Ye Nanxiao is now managing the entire Douluo Alliance in an orderly manner, and it is impossible for evil soul masters to steal paths in the territories of the four great empires.

At least, while Ye Nanxiao still existed in Douluo Continent, all the discontent, darkness, and distortion would be suppressed beneath the soil.

Xian Lin'er took over the conversation, raising her hand to indicate a direction.

"Xu Jiujiu used the teleportation array; she was the first to arrive."

Following Xian Lin'er's directions, Xu Tianzhen and the others saw a huge cube-shaped pavilion nestled in the middle of a group of ancient-style buildings, clearly newly built.

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianzhen raised an eyebrow slightly, nodded slightly, and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

The Soul Guidance Teleportation Array was Ye Nanxiao's trump card technology left to the Star Luo Empire, something that Xu Tianzhen coveted.

Not only Xu Tianzhen, but also Vina and Xue Lingxun lingered on the Shrek Teleportation Center building for more than two seconds.

As Yan Shaozhe and the others slowly walked into Shrek City, the thousand Soul Masters on both sides of the ancient road immediately transformed into a guard, following closely behind.

Xue Lingxun's gaze swept over these young but resolute Soul Masters. Their brand-new two-word battle armor shimmered with a ghostly light in the sunlight, and the words "Breaking Boundaries" resembled dragons and serpents, making the entire team look imposing.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, Shrek Academy was indeed well-established, with such a large-scale military force as soon as its battle armor system was established!

This is the confidence Ye Nanxiao left behind, and also the confidence of the entire alliance.

The Douling Empire must steadfastly uphold the alliance.

Only the alliance system can enable the severely weakened Douling Empire to recover quickly and even surpass many of its predecessors.

Vina kept an eye on Xu Tianzhen's steps beside her. This Sun and Moon Empress wore her imperial attire over her special forces protective suit, but the mixed style did not diminish her sharpness at all!
The power of that soul-guided mech was still lingering in Vina's mind.

The Sun Moon Empire's soul guidance technology was already unparalleled on the continent, and now that it has come into contact with the Battle Armor system, it is likely that a new gap will be widened.

"The alliance's system cannot be disrupted. At least until the Heavenly Soul Empire masters the relevant technology and skillfully integrates it into the imperial system, it needs to be maintained as much as possible."

Vina's thoughts raced. Although the Heavenly Soul Empire had a strong foundation of Soul Masters, fusion with Soul Tools was the mainstream path of cultivation in the future, especially since Du Busi's combat power had greatly increased after he started using Soul Tools!

This further strengthened Vina's resolve to promote the use of soul tools throughout the entire Heavenly Soul Empire.

Even if things don't go as planned, and those conservative soul master factions are unwilling to accept it, at least it can bring home-use charging soul tools into every household and improve the people's sense of happiness.

The group made their way to the inner courtyard meeting room, where everything had already been arranged. Chairs were placed on both sides of a long table, and Elder Xuan sat in the main seat, his gaze deep as he looked at the group of people who entered the room. He raised his hand to indicate, "Please be seated."

Xu Tianzhen followed Yan Shaozhe into the room and immediately saw Xu Jiujiu, who was resting with his eyes closed and a faint sorrow between his brows.

As the youngest person here, and also the youngest in the history of the Sun Moon Empire, with such a powerful backing, and knowing a lot of targeted gossip, the Sun Moon Empress.

She immediately started speaking to Xu Jiujiu.

"Xu Jiujiu, you're here so early, are you looking for someone?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu slightly opened her eyes, glanced at Xu Tianzhen's smug face, and gave a slight snort.

"According to seniority, you cannot call me by my name directly. According to etiquette, you also cannot call me by my name directly."

"Tsk, it seems someone's goal has not been achieved."

Xu Tianzhen sat down opposite Xu Jiujiu, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Standing behind Xu Jiujiu, Shang Yunshu stared at Xu Tianzhen with a gloomy expression, her fingertips gleaming with silver light.

Jing Ziyan smiled as she stared at Shang Yunshu, her battle armor shimmering slightly.

Elder Xuan coughed, stopping the undercurrent. The hall fell silent instantly, with only the gentle sound of the wind blowing through the window, creating a solemn atmosphere.

Vina and Xue Lingxun both calmly watched the two women's undercurrent of conflict, their eyes gleaming with gossip.
Xu Tianzhen is Ye Nanxiao's disciple, and Xu Jiujiu has already openly expressed her feelings for Ye Nanxiao several times. Isn't this the integrity of a loyal disciple protecting his master?
Actually, he wasn't that loyal. After all, although Xu Tianzhen was Ye Nanxiao's disciple, Ye Nanxiao took her in for multiple political considerations in order to stabilize the Sun Moon Empire.

Despite Xu Tianzhen's undeniable talent and her ability to keep up with Ye Nanxiao's pace in the development of new soul tools, the other three empresses considered it all nonsense.

Elder Xuan tapped the table lightly with his fingertips and spoke first, "The reason I invited you all here today is to discuss the promotion of the Battle Armor System and the alliance cooperation!"

"The reason why Ye Nanxiao vigorously promotes the Soul Guidance Industry System and the Battle Armor System is that he has only one core purpose: to enable the Douluo Alliance to jointly defend against the Abyss and protect the Douluo World! Therefore, Shrek Academy will not keep Battle Armor technology to itself, but there are three rules that need to be explained to you all."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the conference room listened intently. They hadn't expected Shrek Academy to be so selfless!

However, upon closer reflection, this was Ye Nanxiao's research, aimed at resisting the potential backlash from the Abyss World, so it's not so surprising.

Xu Tianzhen leaned forward slightly, her playful expression fading.

Xue Lingxun placed her hands on the table, opened her eyes after a long while, her gaze sharp, sweeping away her worries. Vina also put away her casual expression.

All four great empires are determined to obtain this battle armor system.

Xuan Lao's gaze swept over the faces of the four empresses, he took a deep breath, and focused his eyes.

"First, the core basic technology of the Battle Armor can be shared, but it must rely on the Alliance's unified Soul Guidance Industrial System. Each Empire is not allowed to build its own independent production line. The establishment of the production line must be reviewed and approved by the Alliance. This is to prevent the technology from being leaked and, more importantly, to prevent anyone from using the power of the Battle Armor to harbor ulterior motives."

Elder Xuan's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority: "The industrial network set up by Ye Nanxiao is intended to cover the four borders of the Alliance. Each empire only needs to report its needs, and Shrek Academy will work with the Alliance Cabinet to control production and ensure that every set of battle armor is used for defense."

Xu Tianzhen nodded upon hearing this. This rule was exactly what the Sun Moon Empire wanted. With the soul guidance industry currently under the control of the Sun Moon Empire, plus the core basic technology of the battle armor that Shrek Academy had opened up, the consumption of battle armor research and development would be greatly reduced. The two complemented each other, which not only avoided internal friction, but also allowed the technology to play its maximum role.

Xue Lingxun had no objection. The Douling Empire had only recently emerged from the chaos of war and was in dire need of rebuilding. It was simply unable to establish an independent production line, so relying on the alliance system was the fastest way.

Seeing that the four empresses had no objections, Elder Xuan nodded slightly. After Yan Shaozhe typed his request on the soul guide screen, he slowly spoke up and made his second request.

"Secondly, the distribution of battle armor shall be based on combat strength rating and mission requirements, with priority given to Soul Master teams defending the front lines. No empire shall show favoritism or use battle armor for internal strife between empires."

"Shrek will participate in the Battle Armor Inspection Association established by the Alliance. With the intervention of the Sea God Pavilion, it will monitor the use and distribution of battle armor in various empires. If there are any violations, the qualification for technology sharing will be immediately revoked."

This made Xu Tianzhen and Xu Jiujiu think for a moment. The Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire have always had occasional friction!

Once the battle armor is completed, it's inevitable that some people will have ulterior motives. Shrek Academy's proposed oversight, while a form of restraint, is also a guarantee of the alliance's balance.

After a moment's thought, the two nodded in unison. The danger of the abyss had not been completely eliminated, and the shadow tentacles of the Crimson Domain were still slowly extending. Fighting each other at this moment would be tantamount to courting death. This rule had to be followed.

"Third, the Soul Guidance Mech and Battle Armor systems can be integrated. The Sun Moon Empire needs to open up basic Soul Guidance Mech technology! The Alliance will establish a research department to jointly develop new equipment that integrates 'armor and mech'. Each empire can purchase Soul Guidance Mechs as needed, but must sign a wartime deployment agreement with the Alliance. During wartime, all mechs and battle armor teams will be under the unified command of the Alliance!"

Upon hearing Elder Xuan's words, a glint flashed in Xu Tianzhen's eyes. She had originally intended to promote Soul Guidance Mechs, but she did not expect Shrek Academy to directly bind them to the Battle Armor system.

In this way, the Sun Moon Empire's soul guidance technology was truly integrated with the Alliance, solidifying its leading position in the soul guidance industry!
She immediately stood up, cupped her hands to Elder Xuan and the other three empresses, and said, "The Sun and Moon Empire will abide by the rules! Basic mecha technology can be shared immediately, and the Sun and Moon Empire will fully cooperate in the research and development of armored mecha fusion!"

Seeing this, Xue Lingxun immediately spoke up, "The Douling Empire abides by the rules and is willing to stand with the alliance and devote itself fully to the war in the abyss."

"The Heavenly Dou Empire complies with the rules."

"The Star Luo Empire complies with the rules."

Vina's and Xu Jiujiu's voices rang out one after the other.

Under Shrek Academy's leadership, the four great empires reached a consensus on cooperation regarding the Battle Armor system, and the atmosphere in the hall eased somewhat as a result.

Looking at the four empresses, Elder Xuan finally smiled. He raised his hand to pick up the cup of tea on the table, gesturing to everyone, "In that case, let us drink this cup to establish our alliance! The path left behind by that brat Ye Nanxiao must be followed by all of us, so that the Douluo World can be great again!"

The four empresses simultaneously raised their teacups, the rims touching, the crisp sound echoing throughout the hall. This cup of tea symbolized the alliance of battle armor, protected the Douluo mortal realm, and, more importantly, the balance of the alliance that Ye Nanxiao had painstakingly maintained.

As Xu Tianzhen took a sip of tea, she put down her teacup and smiled at Xue Lingxun. "Sister Xue, about the mecha cooperation we discussed at the door, we'll have our people handle it later. We'll give your Douling Empire a 20% discount on the basic model, plus operator training included. How about that?"

Xue Lingxun smiled and nodded in agreement: "Very good. Fighting spirits need such equipment. I will trouble Emperor Xu."

Watching the interaction between the two, Vina also spoke to Xu Tianzhen, "The Heavenly Soul Empire also needs to purchase a batch of Soul Guidance Mechs, and at the same time hopes to participate in the research and development of Armor-Mech Fusion. I wonder what Emperor Xu thinks?"

"I couldn't be happier!" Xu Tianzhen waved his hand. "The more power in an alliance, the better. If the Star Luo Empire is interested, they can join us as well."

After a long while, he raised his eyes, a hint of approval in them. "Xingluo does indeed have this intention. In that case, let's develop it together."

"If we encounter any technical bottlenecks, we hope that Emperor Xu will fully cooperate, provide technical advice, or even call in reinforcements."

Xu Tianzhen clicked her tongue and slapped the table. "Why are you staring at my master and refusing to leave?" (End of Chapter)
