Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 701 How could anyone have such an evil thought!
After entering the sea territory of the Sun Moon Empire, Huo Yuhao and the others became even more cautious.

Although Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen are the strongest in the team, Huo Yuhao, who has experienced the Extreme Solo Project, is more proficient in this aspect.

Therefore, at Huo Yuhao's suggestion, the entire team flew further after entering the Sun Moon Empire's maritime territory, because the Sun Moon Empire had deployed its navy in its maritime territory.

Neither the Star Luo Empire nor the Sun Moon Empire was particularly adept at naval warfare, but that didn't mean they had no defensive measures at sea. Both sides feared the other coming from the sea, so they each deployed a naval force in the confluence of the South China Sea.

The navy was not large in number, and both sides had a limited number of soul tools on their ships. Relatively speaking, the Sun Moon Empire's navy was slightly stronger.

It's not that either country doesn't want to develop its navy; it's simply that the existence of sea spirit beasts in the world of Douluo Continent greatly limits naval development. If the navy becomes too large, the sea spirit beasts will inevitably attack, let alone venture deep into the ocean.

You should know that there is a terrifying sea spirit beast in the vast ocean known as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

According to records, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has cultivated for nearly a million years!
Although he was eventually killed by Tang San, the ancestor of Shrek Academy, it was enough to illustrate how terrifying the soul beasts in the ocean were.

Moreover, the most terrifying aspect of sea spirit beasts is not their powerful individual spirit beasts, since even the strongest individual spirit beasts in the ocean can only occupy a small area of ​​the ocean.

The most terrifying thing about the sea spirit beasts is that there are just too many of them!
The ocean is much larger than the land, and correspondingly, the resources in the ocean have nurtured far more sea spirit beasts than land spirit beasts!

It's no exaggeration to say that if sea spirit beasts and land spirit beasts were to fight each other, the land spirit beasts would inevitably be the losers, even if Di Tian were there.

Quantitative change can indeed lead to qualitative change!

It is precisely because of the sheer number of sea spirit beasts and their terrifying strength that communication between different continents is virtually impossible.

If the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent had come into contact and collided due to tectonic plate drift, the people of the two continents would probably never have met.

Of course, now that the continents have collided, the two continents have started fighting. The Sun Moon Continent wants to occupy the Douluo Continent and merge the two continents to form the Sun Moon Continent.

The three great empires of Douluo Continent obviously could not agree to such a thing, and a protracted war began between the two sides.

Furthermore, what was originally a civil war between three empires on the Douluo Continent transformed into a situation where three empires jointly resisted the Sun Moon Empire after the Sun Moon Continent collided with it.

There's no way around it, the Sun Moon Empire is just too strong! They have one empire on one continent, while we have three empires on one continent. We're also lagging behind them in soul guidance technology. We simply can't compete without joining forces.

Bypassing both sides' navies, and because they ventured deeper into the sea, Huo Yuhao and his group also encountered attacks from some seabirds and sea spirit beasts.

However, these sea spirit beasts were clearly no threat to them and were easily dealt with.

Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan concealed themselves in the higher clouds, following the crowd below while admiring the magnificent view of the ocean from above.

Looking at the boundless ocean in the distance, Jiang Ming suddenly had an idea.

He was a high school student when he transmigrated. Although he chose science, he still had some basic geographical knowledge.

Land, ocean, sea level curvature, and astronomical features similar to those of their previous life—clearly, they exist on the same planet.

So, with his current strength, is it possible for him to circle the planet he is on?

His memory was still fairly good; he could vaguely recall the formula for roughly calculating the radius of a planet using the curvature of the sea level.

Suppose the arc observed from the sea level is θ (in radians), and the chord length is d (the straight-line distance between two points on the sea level).

Using the chord length formula, based on the relationship between chord length, radian length, and radius, we can obtain the following:
Oh no!

What am I thinking? !

How could I have such an evil thought!
Jiang Ming immediately suppressed those wicked thoughts in his mind; they were too evil! Absolutely too evil!
After crossing the defensive boundary of the Sun Moon Empire's navy and entering the Sun Moon Empire's sea area, the group flew from the deep sea towards the sea level.

As for taking breaks to replenish their soul power, it wasn't a big deal for them.

Since we poached Lao Xuan from Mingdetang, he also brought over the technology for sealing baby bottles.

No, the sealed baby bottle technology was developed by Xuan Ziwen himself, and Jiang Ming even contributed to it. After all, he and Xuan Ziwen often discussed and researched soul tools together when they were in Mingde Hall.

With the sealed baby bottle, there's no need to worry about soul power consumption when using a soul tool.

Of course, this thing has only just started production and still has many flaws.

For example, older soul tools cannot use sealed milk bottles. Before sealed milk bottles were created, soul tool makers would not leave a special slot for a sealed milk bottle when making soul tools. Only newly made soul tools with an energy slot for a sealed milk bottle can use sealed milk bottles.

Another point is that the technology for sealing baby bottles is quite complex. Currently, the academy's production line cannot carry out mass production using soul-guided machinery, so it can only be made manually.

After flying for another half day, Jiang Ming looked down from the clouds and could see the distant coastline and the outline of a city.

He didn't know much about the cities of the Sun Moon Empire, or rather, he didn't know much about many cities on the continent.

Over the years, he has visited so many cities that he can basically count them on two hands.

After all, he has spent the last few years either improving his cultivation, researching soul tools, or undergoing divine assessments, and has really not had much time to do anything else.

If it weren't for the classes he attended in the outer academy and the guidance he received from Elder Mu, he probably wouldn't know as much about the mainland as an ordinary inner academy student.

Zhang Lexuan, on the other hand, knows more about these things.

In recent years, Jiang Ming has been studying soul tools at Mingde Hall, while Zhang Lexuan has devoted most of her energy, apart from cultivation, to investment.

To make an investment, one must understand the major cities in mainland China.

Zhang Lexuan was held in Jiang Ming's arms. She searched her memory for information about the city ahead and said softly, "If I remember correctly, that city should be Haiyue City, a city located on the southern coast of the Sun Moon Empire. In the South China Sea of ​​the Sun Moon Empire, it is considered a large city, possessing the largest port in the Sun Moon Empire, Sun Moon Port."

Although ships cannot venture deep into the ocean, with the development of soul-guided devices, safety is still guaranteed when sailing closer to land. After all, sea transport is much easier than land transport, requiring less manpower and resources. Therefore, this city is also among Zhang Lexuan's investment targets.

From afar, everyone could already see Sun Moon Harbor.

Huo Yuhao did not lead his companions directly to the destination. Instead, he landed on the beach a dozen miles away from Sun Moon Port and Haiyue City. He then had everyone change into the Sun Moon Empire's clothing that had been prepared beforehand, and only then did they fly towards Haiyue City.

It's always good to be cautious. Seeing this, Jiang Ming also led Zhang Lexuan into the small world and changed into clothing from the Sun Moon Empire.

After all, he had been in the Sun Moon Empire for so many years, so he must have had this kind of clothing.

After changing his clothes and leaving the small world, Jiang Ming arrived at Haiyue City ahead of Huo Yuhao and the others.

Perhaps because this is a remote area of ​​the South China Sea, Haiyue City did not conduct strict checks on these outsiders, and they easily slipped in.

The architecture of Haiyue City is noticeably different from that of the Sun Moon Empire's inland areas. It lacks the towering skyscrapers of Mingdu, but possesses a more distinctive seaside fishing port character. The houses are all very sturdy, designed to withstand storms from the sea. The entire city of Haiyue is built on higher ground, with Sun Moon Port situated diagonally below it.

When Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan came in, they had put on some makeup, or rather, Zhang Lexuan did their makeup.

In fact, makeup is not something only girls can learn. The Inner Academy teaches makeup, and good makeup skills are very helpful for them in carrying out Shrek Inspection Team missions.

Of course, due to his special circumstances, Jiang Ming hadn't learned much about this stuff.

However, as the senior disciple of the inner courtyard and a girl, Zhang Lexuan's skills in this area were already quite advanced.

When Zhang Lexuan got into the mood, she even wanted to dress up Jiang Ming as a girl.

Jiang Ming refused on the spot!
What a joke! He is the honorary master of the Sea God Pavilion, a super Douluo, a level nine soul master, and a real man who is 1.87 meters tall. How could he possibly dress up as a woman!

impossible! Absolutely impossible!
In the end, although Zhang Lexuan was very tempted, seeing how resistant Jiang Ming was, she let him go and allowed this peerless genius to wear women's clothing for the first time.

If they resist so much now, maybe they'll have a chance when it's just the two of them.

Upon entering Haiyue City, Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan found the best hotel to stay in.

Although they came to keep an eye on Huo Yuhao and the others, they didn't forget their purpose of sightseeing.

After all, I've never been here before, so strolling around Haiyue City is quite nice.

After putting on makeup, Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan walked hand in hand down the street. Their stunning good looks were mostly concealed by the makeup, but their figures and temperament were still outstanding.

Jiang Ming casually bought some local specialties, such as dried fish and scallops. They tasted a bit fishy, ​​but were still acceptable. However, the flavor was really not good. After eating a little, Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan did not buy any more.

However, it's worth mentioning that after walking around, they discovered that Haiyue City also has a milk tea shop and a chess and card room.

It's not a very large business, but it's always booming.

Jiang Ming even went out of his way to buy two cups of milk tea.

Well, the milk tea here seems to have some local flavors added, and it tasted a bit strange to both of them.

It's drinkable, but as for how delicious it is, Jiang Ming can only say that different regions have different tastes.

While Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan were enjoying themselves, Huo Yuhao and the others started taking care of serious business.

Huo Yuhao went to the Sun and Moon Port Maritime Transport Company in Haiyue City and spent several thousand gold soul coins to rent a ship about 150 meters long with a carrying capacity of 10,000 kilograms. The ship was also equipped with ten level-three soul-guided cannons and ten level-three soul masters. It was loaded and set sail a week later.

This configuration is already considered average for a city like Haiyue City, considering that the number of Soul Masters in a city like Haiyue City is not large to begin with.

However, after leaving the Transport Department, Huo Yuhao and his group were stopped by pirates from the Sun Moon Empire who called themselves Bluebeard.

Bluebeard the pirates demanded a toll of one-third of the value of their goods, and they even had a set procedure for it, including a price assessment of the goods when they were loaded onto the ship.

This can only be described as greedy.

Not only that, after seeing Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, these pirates even tried to take them into an alley and grope them.

As soon as they entered the alley, the group of pirates were frozen into ice blocks by Ling Luochen's ultimate ice power.

With a gentle tap, the ice cube shattered into countless fragments, and the person also turned into fragments along with the ice.

Then, intense flames rose up, instantly evaporating all the ice shards.

It didn't even leave a speck of dust; it evaporated on the spot!
The scene was so gruesome that even Huo Yuhao, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but shudder.

Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder how Senior Brother Jiang managed to subdue these two senior sisters.

After settling everything, Huo Yuhao and the others did not rush to leave, but rested in Haiyue City for one night before setting off the next day.

However, during their night at Haiyue City, everyone felt a slight sense of disappointment.

Compared to Jiang Ming's villa, the hotel in Haiyue City is far inferior.

Putting everything else aside, it's really frustrating to lose the benefits of meditation practice.

After arriving at the city of the Sun Moon Empire, the group stopped using their flying soul tools.

The Sun and Moon Empire is definitely the place with the most soul-guided detection devices on the entire continent! They are almost everywhere in the empire, even in the wilderness.

However, even without using a flying soul tool, their speed would be sufficient for them to reach their destination within one or two days.

The city of Sunrise, where the hostages were being held, was located in the southern part of the Sun Moon Empire. They took such a long detour to avoid being exposed.

Once they were on their way again, they didn't take any remote paths, but followed the official road on the map and moved forward at full speed.

Whenever they encountered passersby, Huo Yuhao's simulated soul skill would activate automatically, producing an invisibility-like effect, allowing him to dart past them without slowing down. They didn't encounter any trouble along the way.

However, they never noticed that two people were following them from not far behind.

As the group rapidly advanced towards Sunrise City, a group of uninvited guests arrived at the border of the Sun and Moon Empire.
