Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 655 A Huge Gain!
"Wait, isn't his soul guide set already finished? Why is he still inscribing the core magic array?"

An elderly man on the referee's bench immediately frowned.

Judging from the production process just now, this set of soul guide equipment is already very complete. In particular, the soul guide link array that can connect the set of equipment containing the five soul bones to form a whole set of soul guide equipment is enough to make this set of soul guide equipment into a real humanoid soul guide equipment that covers the whole body, and it is the kind that is close to the body!

Logically speaking, this soul tool should be almost finished, but judging from Mingjiang's appearance, it seems that it's not over yet?
Ye Yulin didn't speak, but kept her eyes fixed on Mingjiang's movements.

When he saw the core magic array that Mingjiang was inscribing, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Good heavens, this kid is serious. There's less than an hour left, and he's still trying to inscribe an eighth-level core magic array?!"

Even for Ye Yulin himself, it would be a bit tight to inscribe an eighth-level magic array in less than an hour.

Mingjiang, he actually...
This monstrous little fellow might actually surpass those old guys and become the first level 10 Soul Master in history!
Ye Yulin sighed inwardly.

Time ticked by, and as the match neared its end, Mingjiang's movements became increasingly faster.

The holy blade of light seemed to transform into a golden ray in his hand, leaving no afterimage.

The level eight core magic array is not difficult for Mingjiang's current level of soul mastery, but compressing the time to this extent is still a bit challenging.

Unfortunately, he was just a soul skill clone with a divinely bestowed soul bone. If he were a real person, this talent might have allowed him to directly enter a state of oneness with heaven and man.

While the process of creating soul tools for the final round of the Mingdu Soul Master Competition is nearing its end, the other teams are also busy.

Jiang Ming's mental clone, along with Xiao Huang and Xiao Kong, began a frenzied sweep of the spatial coordinates that had been left in advance throughout Mingdu.

The Sun and Moon Empire has incredibly abundant rare metal resources!

If the mountains within the territories of the three empires that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent only had occasional rare metal veins, then the mountains within the Sun Moon Empire had metal veins hidden in most of them.

This resulted in the Sun Moon Empire having an extremely high output of rare metals.

As the capital of the Sun and Moon Empire, Mingdu naturally has extremely rich reserves of rare metals.

Previously, when Jiang Ming was in Mingdu, he collected the private collections of some officials and nobles of the Sun Moon Empire, in order to prevent the Sun Moon Empire from turning against him all at once.

But now that the decision has been made to turn against each other, there's no need to leave any room for negotiation.

Anyway, the small world is big enough, so let's just move it!
Take as much as you can get! Don't leave Xu Tianran a single grain of rare metal!
After all, these rare metals, if left behind, will most likely be used to make war soul tools.

"This warehouse is full of stuff, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Xiao Kong showed great enthusiasm for this act of emptying the enemy's warehouse.

With a flick of his finger, the space shifted, and Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming's spiritual entities arrived together in a warehouse.

The warehouse contained at least thirty kinds of rare metals, all of which were extremely valuable.

Each one is several times more expensive than those on the first floor outside.

Especially the seven or eight rare metals inside, at least five of them, were things that even Jiang Ming had never seen before.

The reserves of these rare metals here are at least in the tons.

The rare metals in this warehouse are completely immeasurable in monetary terms.

"Alas, the Sun Moon Empire is truly blessed with unique advantages for the development of soul tools!"

Jiang Ming sighed, but didn't forget to have Xiao Huang do it.

"Xiao Huang, Xiao Kong, move everything out of here! Move everything out! Don't leave them a single thing!"

Although there are only two of them, Xiao Huang and Xiao Kong, with the combination of their spatial abilities and the power of the earth, can quickly take away any amount of rare metals in the warehouse.

In terms of spatial storage capacity, Jiang Ming's small world is far more useful than any storage soul tool!

"Multifaceted Magic Crystal? What a find! Soul-Forging Silver, Crimson Sun Soul-Shocking Steel... Wow, this looks like a huge warehouse! Hmm? Even Golden Cloud?! How come there's only a little bit? Move it all! Move it all!"

Jiang Ming watched and sighed.

Some of the rare metals here are even materials used to make level nine soul tools.

Even since he became a level nine soul master, he hadn't had much contact with this rare metal.

But there are so many here!

In no time, all the rare metals in the entire first-floor warehouse were taken away, and the once dazzling array of rare metals disappeared completely.

"Master, there seems to be another layer below."

Xiao Kong said softly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming immediately led Xiao Kong and Xiao Huang downstairs.

There was a metal door on the lower level, which looked very sturdy. Jiang Ming tried to pass through it directly with his mental power, but failed.

This door can actually block spiritual energy!
But that didn't work either.

"Xiao Kong, open it."

Xiao Kong nodded and ran a finger across the metal door.

The sturdy metal door was easily cut in two by the spatial cutting technique.

"This door is a good thing too, take it, take it!"

Jiang Ming glanced at the cut-open door and made a comment.

After the door was opened, what appeared before the three of them was a downward staircase that extended twenty meters down. The light was very dim, with only a few weak soul guide lamps illuminating the walls.

A strong metallic aura emanated from it, giving people a sense of solemnity and impending doom.

Upon seeing what was below, Jiang Ming's eyes lit up.

What he saw was a steel forest.

That's right, it's a steel forest, a steel forest that stretches as far as the eye can see.

Descending the stairs, they entered a vast plaza. The first thing they saw was a vast array of soul-guided cannons.
At the very front row are large level 4 soul-guided cannons.

This type of soul-guided cannon boasts a high rate of fire and accuracy, with an effective range exceeding 500 meters. Due to its large size, it is equipped with wheels for transport. A level four soul master, without the aid of a healing item, can fire over thirty shots continuously.

In this underground warehouse, there were at least a thousand of these soul-guided cannons, and this was even the worst-looking one. Numerous boxes were neatly stacked. Guided by his mental energy, what did Jiang Ming see?
He saw a large number of soul-guided ray guns and small soul-guided cannons, each of which was at least a level four or five soul-guided device.

Even more terrifying, he also saw whole boxes of fixed-position soul-guided shells, and whole boxes of sealed baby bottles.
The number of sealed baby bottles should be the smallest among these soul tools.

But what is the purpose of this thing? With it, ordinary soldiers who are not Soul Masters can also take Soul Guidance Devices to the battlefield!
Even if there aren't many, there are still thousands stored here.

It is conceivable that Mingdetang immediately began full-scale production after developing this technology.

In this vast underground warehouse, Jiang Ming saw the highest-level soul tool: a level seven fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell. There were no higher-level ones.

However, with such a large number of soul tools here, if they were used to arm the army...
The sheer number and scale of the soul tools here are enough to fully arm at least four Sun Moon Empires' soul tool legions!

Currently, the Sun Moon Empire has fewer than ten Soul Master Legions in active service, and their equipment is nowhere near as good as the Soul Tools here.

In other words, if the soul tools here were taken out, they could immediately arm four extremely elite soul master regiments, building a fully mechanized elite soul master regiment, including one hundred simplified all-terrain self-propelled artillery turrets.

This equipment is still unmatched, even now that the three major empires of the former Douluo Continent have access to low-level soul tool production lines provided by Shrek Academy.

Those production lines are only at the level of level two or three soul tools now, while here, the lowest level is level four soul tools!
The most terrifying thing about soul tools is that once they are produced on a large scale, their destructive power will increase dramatically.

A single level-four soul-guided cannon is something a Title Douluo wouldn't even bother to glance at. But if a hundred soul-guided cannons were firing simultaneously, a Title Douluo would have to defend against them with all their might.

If a thousand soul-guided cannons were to fire simultaneously, a Title Douluo would have no choice but to turn tail and run! Not to mention so many fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells.

This thing can attack from a distance. The range of a level 7 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell can reach tens of miles.

"These are really good things! Take them all! Take them all!"

To be honest, if it were anyone else, even if they saw such a large-scale collection of soul tools, they would definitely not be able to take it away.

There are far too many; the storage soul tool couldn't possibly hold that many.

But Jiang Ming is different; he can take all of these!

Xiao Kong and Xiao Huang immediately sprang into action, their movements somewhat rough.

A level 5 fixed-position soul-guided cannonball was accidentally triggered by Xiao Kong. Fortunately, at the last moment, Xiao Kong threw the fixed-position soul-guided cannonball into the small world.

boom!
The explosion of the Level 5 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell startled the soul beasts that were grazing, and they scattered and fled.

"Phew! Xiao Kong, take it easy! This is a fixed-position soul-guided shell! If this thing explodes here, all the fixed-position soul-guided shells here will be triggered. Then, the whole of Mingdu will know what we're doing!"

Jiang Ming said in a deep voice.

Xiao Kong nodded quickly, and then became gentler when moving the fixed-position soul-guided shells.

In no time at all, all the soul tools here were taken away, leaving not a single one behind.

"What a great harvest!"

Looking at the empty warehouse, Jiang Ming felt very satisfied.

"Xu Tianran, I'll gladly accept the equipment from your four Soul Master Corps!"

"Come on, Mingde Hall is right next door. This warehouse already has so many good things, there must be even more good things deeper inside Mingde Hall!"

Jiang Ming had been in Mingdetang for so many years, and although he wasn't entirely sure how much wealth Mingdetang had, he could still make a rough guess.

As the highest-level soul guidance technology research institute in the Sun Moon Empire, Mingde Hall definitely possesses terrifying existences such as Level 9 fixed-position soul guidance shells!
However, these level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells belong to Mingde Hall now, but they will belong to Jiang Ming later!
The looting continued. All of Mingdetang's warehouses, those that Jiang Ming knew about and those that Jiang Ming didn't know about but that Xiao Huang and Xiao Kong found, were emptied.

When he arrived at the underground warehouse of Mingde Hall, a highly encrypted and heavily guarded place that even a level nine soul master of Mingde Hall was not qualified to enter, Jiang Ming discovered sixteen level nine fixed-position soul guidance shells that were sleeping there!

Sixteen level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells!

Given the resources of the Sun Moon Empire, they definitely won't have many level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells.

Around Mingdu, in the three directions of east, south, and north, Xu Tianran deployed more than fifteen level-nine fixed-position soul-guided shells.

This means that even if these level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells in Mingde Hall are not all the remaining level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells in the Sun Moon Empire, they are probably still a large part of it.

Now, it all belongs to Jiang Ming!

After taking away the sixteen level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, Jiang Ming thought for a moment, then took out three more and installed timed high-explosive shells on each of them.

Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided shells are precious, but they are still meant to be used!

As the highest-level soul tool research institute of the Sun Moon Empire, Mingde Hall is undoubtedly the best choice to use three level-nine fixed-position soul tool shells here.

"Let's go! Towards the next stop!"

After making all the arrangements, Jiang Ming, Xiao Kong, and Xiao Huang continued to search for the treasures hidden underground in Mingdu.

Jiang Ming knew that after looting the two major warehouses, the other places in Mingdu should not have much storage, at least not more than the warehouse they had just left and the underground warehouse of Mingde Hall.

But since the locations have already been marked, of course we should take them all!
Putting aside everything else, having emptied most of Mingdu's resources, Xu Tianran's desire to launch a war will have to be delayed for at least a few years!

In the nine-story teahouse in the western suburbs, Jiang Ming and Xu Tianran were still talking.

Xu Tianran offered many conditions, even the privilege of being a king of equal rank, which could be described as being second only to the emperor.

But Jiang Ming remained unmoved.

I am destined to become a god; who am I to be second only to you here?

In contrast, he preferred to revel in the enormous gains on the other side.

Sixteen level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells!

The equipment of four Soul Master Corps!

Countless rare metals!

Even with Jiang Ming's current perspective, it would be difficult to give these things a specific valuation.

This wave is incredibly lucrative!

These things alone are enough to determine the course of a large-scale war!
This is no exaggeration!
As Jiang Ming thought about it, a smile appeared in his eyes when he looked at Xu Tianran.

Hopefully, when His Highness the Crown Prince sees that the resources Mingdu has accumulated over the years have vanished without a trace, he won't be so angry that he vomits blood and dies.
