Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 821 Simulation: The Century-Long Super-Large-Scale Defense Soul Guidance Array Project!

"The Mingjiang River doesn't exist, right?"

Seeing Jing Hongchen's face flushed red, her eyes narrowed to slits, and her voice very weak but extremely serious as she spoke those words, Jiang Ming paused slightly.

He said softly, "Master of the Red Dust Hall, you're drunk."

Jing Hongchen suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Hahaha! Yes, I'm drunk, I'm drunk!"

After laughing twice, Jing Hongchen slumped onto the table, completely drunk and unconscious, ignoring the fact that he was inside the Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department experimental building, a den of dragons and tigers for him, the head of the Mingde Hall.

Or perhaps, Jing Hongchen no longer cares about these things.

When he finally voiced his long-held doubts after drinking, and heard Jiang Ming's answer, he already knew the answer in his heart.

If Mingjiang truly exists and is indeed Jiang Ming's twin brother, then Jiang Ming would undoubtedly be enraged by his words. After all, Mingjiang chose to self-destruct with a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon because the Sun Moon Empire was besieging Jiang Ming.

If Jiang Ming had even a shred of conscience, he would have been furious when he heard him ask that question.

But the truth is, Jiang Ming's reaction was so calm.

So calm, it was as if Mingjiang, this so-called twin brother, had never existed.

This already says far too much.

This is why Jing Hongchen said that he was drunk.

I'm drunk, I can't tell the difference!
Jiang Ming sighed softly, then reached out and helped Jing Hongchen up, leading her to a temporary rest room in the experimental building.

This newly built Soul Guidance Experiment Building has a dedicated floor for Soul Guidance Masters to rest temporarily. After all, many Soul Guidance Masters are so engrossed in researching Soul Guidance Devices that they forget to eat and sleep. Being able to take a short rest in the building is quite convenient.

When Jiang Ming returned to the guest restaurant in the experimental building, Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu, whose faces had just been flushed, walked up to him.

Compared to Jing Hongchen, the flush of drunkenness on their faces had faded considerably.

After all, the goal was to extract information from Jing Hongchen, so how could she really get herself drunk to the point of being incoherent?

"Xiaoming, I feel like there's something wrong."

Qian Duoduo glanced at the two attendants beside Jing Hongchen who were slumped on the table, then whispered, "Jing Hongchen seems a little too cooperative, telling us everything he knows. Could there be a trap he's setting?"

Originally, they didn't have high hopes for getting Jing Hongchen drunk and then asking him about matters related to soul masters. After all, he was drunk, and as the head of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen would definitely be very wary. It would be difficult to get any information out of him.

But in the situation just now, Jing Hongchen really did provide a clear and logical explanation to the Soul Masters on their side.

Several level-eight soul masters had a sudden realization, and they had truly gained a lot.

But this is going way too smoothly!

Jiang Ming sighed slightly upon hearing this.

"There shouldn't be any problems. I listened to the whole thing. Maybe Jing Hongchen's mindset changed after he got drunk."

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, he listened attentively to Jing Hongchen's explanation regarding the Soul Master.

At least, he didn't find any pitfalls inside.

"However, if anything happens, please let me know immediately."

He didn't notice the problem, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. We still need to be cautious.

Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu both nodded. They hadn't actually noticed anything wrong with what they heard, but it was always good to be safe just in case.

"What about the two of them?"

Fan Yu looked at the two attendants lying on the table.

Jiang Ming said, "Just throw it there."

After saying that, he, Qian Duoduo, and Fan Yu went to a large soul guidance laboratory.

"Dean Qian, Professor Fan Yu, what stage has the deduction of this super-large defensive soul-guided array reached?"

Looking at the dazzling, illusory scene inside the large soul-guiding laboratory, Jiang Ming asked softly.

In fact, even before his body had fully recovered, Jiang Ming had already exchanged ideas with the Soul Guidance Department regarding their research on large-scale soul guidance defense arrays.

Many years have passed since the initial idea of ​​this defensive soul-guided array plan first came to light. Over these years, he has been researching and refining this concept, and has even conducted live simulations in the small world.

However, due to various limitations, it is still very difficult to create a large-scale defensive soul-guided array that can cover an entire city.

Qian Duoduo led Jiang Ming to a soul guidance simulation device and said, "Currently, with our soul guidance technology, it is not realistic to create a defensive soul guidance array that can cover the entire Shrek Academy and Shrek City. Therefore, in terms of simulation, after research, we have decided to start with Seagod Island first."

Shrek Academy is quite large; in terms of land area, it's the size of a city. It would be extremely difficult for the soul guide shield to cover the entire Shrek Academy.

Even narrowing the scope to Poseidon Island is quite difficult.

Of course, despite the difficulties, the research still needs to be conducted, as it is for the sake of long-term development.

Hearing Qian Duoduo say this, Jiang Ming nodded slightly.

“Indeed, it’s too difficult to handle the situation of the entire academy and Shrek City all at once. It’s better to try it out on Seagod Island first. Let me see the specific situation.”

The next second, the terrain map of Poseidon Island appeared on the soul guide simulator in front of them, and then nine soul guide pillars appeared in nine locations on Poseidon Island.

"Our plan is to first use nine level-eight soul-guiding pillars to form a nine-palace array, directly covering the entire Seagod Island."

As he spoke, the nine soul guidance pillars in the soul guidance simulator simultaneously emitted beams of light.

It can be clearly seen that nine rays of light converge and collide in the sky above the center of Poseidon Island.

Upon colliding, these beams of light instantly released a golden barrier that rapidly enveloped Poseidon Island below.

In this way, a large defensive soul-guided array was formed.

However, this thing only forms in the soul guide simulator. To achieve this effect, continuous experimentation is still needed.

"Can you use your soul power to simulate the defensive capabilities of this soul-guided shield?"

Jiang Ming looked at the soul-guided shield that had formed and said in a deep voice.

Fan Yu nodded: "That's fine."

As he spoke, Fan Yu went to the control panel and, along with several other level-eight soul masters, adjusted the parameters of the soul guidance simulator in front of them. Soon, a fixed-mount soul guidance shell appeared in the soul guidance simulator. "This soul guidance simulator can only simulate the effect of an explosion of a level-eight fixed-mount soul guidance shell at most."

This simulated soul tool is only at the peak of level eight, at most a half level nine soul tool, and it is impossible for it to simulate the power of a soul tool with a higher level than itself.

"Level eight it is, let's see how it goes."

Soon, the experiment began.

This level-eight fixed-position soul-guided cannonball, simulated using soul power, flew rapidly toward Poseidon Island, which was not far away.

One second later, the level 8 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell exploded!
boom!
It was clearly visible that at the moment the level 8 fixed-position soul-guided cannon exploded, a strong soul power fluctuation erupted in this soul-guided simulator, which was almost at level 9. The terrifying energy impacted the soul-guided shield above Seagod Island.

Unfortunately, the soul-guided shield covering Poseidon Island showed no signs of breaking even after the explosion completely ended.

If it is only one or two level-eight soul guidance pillars that release soul guidance shields, then when faced with the explosion of level-eight fixed-position soul guidance shells, these soul guidance shields may be shattered, or become extremely unstable. After all, the power of fixed-position soul guidance shells is the most powerful among soul guidance devices of the same level!
But these are nine level-eight soul guidance pillars, and they are a complete set!
This complete set of level eight soul tools is even more valuable than level nine soul tools. The nine level eight soul tool pillars can defend against level eight fixed soul tool shells without any problem, both theoretically and practically.

"Hmm, this defense is not bad."

Jiang Ming nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.

Creating a super-large defensive soul-guided array is extremely difficult, but the current defensive soul-guided array that only covers Seagod Island is undoubtedly much less difficult.

"Have these nine level-eight soul-guiding pillars been completed?"

Jiang Ming looked at Qian Duoduo beside him and asked softly.

The effects of a simulated soul tool cannot fully represent the actual effects; it needs to be actually made and tested.

"We're still short two. These level eight soul guidance pillars are more difficult to make than ordinary level eight soul guidance devices, and we also need to consider the matching issues. We've only been able to make seven in the past few months."

Qian Duoduo responded.

As the Soul Guidance Department has developed, although there are currently only three level-nine Soul Guidance Masters, there are many more level-eight Soul Guidance Masters.

There are only a handful of level eight soul masters capable of creating complete sets of level eight soul guidance pillars, and the production cycle is indeed very long.

"Hmm, it's a bit slow."

Jiang Ming reached out and stroked his chin, a thoughtful look in his deep eyes.

It's important to know that in his plan, the super-large defensive soul guidance array that could cover the entire Shrek Academy and Shrek City would have an incredibly large number and level of supporting soul guidance devices!

Even the most basic concept requires at least nine level-nine soul guidance pillars, thirty-six level-eight soul guidance pillars, and one hundred and eight level-seven soul guidance pillars!

The combined defensive power of the 153 soul-guided pillars is enough to withstand the simultaneous attacks of several Limit Douluos! In terms of withstanding level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs, it is enough to withstand level 10 or even level 11 fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs!

At this rate, he probably won't be able to complete this massive project before he ascends to the God Realm.

Upon hearing Jiang Ming say that the speed was slow, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but give a wry smile.

“Xiao Ming, the difficulty of making this level eight soul guidance pillar is already high enough. Fan Yu and I are not fully confident in making the level nine soul guidance pillar. If we follow the previous plan, it will take at least a hundred years to complete this project! This is on the premise that the soul guidance system does not weaken and the continent is at peace without war during these hundred years.”

He supported Jiang Ming's plan for a super-large defensive soul-guided array, and even discussed it at a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion.

At the time, Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan both felt it was unnecessary, since with Shrek Academy's current strength, basically no one would dare to make a move against Shrek Academy.

He believed that this defensive soul-guided array could be used not only at Shrek Academy, but also in other cities on the continent.

Furthermore, Shrek Academy has been powerful for the past few hundred years and is unlikely to face any major crises, but what if the academy weakens a thousand years from now?

We must always leave some cards for future generations.

Ultimately, thanks to Jiang Ming and the entire Soul Guidance Department's persistence, the plan for this super-large Soul Guidance Array was approved at the Sea God Pavilion meeting.

However, implementing this plan is quite difficult.

The academy currently only has three level-nine soul masters. Jiang Ming himself still has the god assessment to prepare for. As the vice deans of the soul guidance department, he and Fan Yu also have to research other soul tools and mentor some level-eight soul masters and young level-seven soul masters, since these are the future of the academy.

This undoubtedly reduces the amount of energy that can be devoted to this project.

Without disrupting normal life arrangements, a hundred years is not a long time to truly complete this plan.

It's important to understand that this isn't just about making a soul tool; it also involves experimentation. If there's even one mistake, you have to start all over again.

"Indeed, I had oversimplified things before."

Jiang Ming nodded slightly.

He had been too idealistic about the plan. After all, people are not tools and cannot be implemented exactly according to the plan.

"But it doesn't matter, the academy won't encounter any accidents within a hundred years."

Given the current state of the academy, even if Elder Xuan and Elder Lin reach the end of their lifespans in a hundred years, Yan Shaozhe and other elders will still be there to support them. However, Elder Mu was resurrected through some clever means, so it's hard to say whether his lifespan will be affected.

After learning about the progress of the defensive soul-guided array, Jiang Ming left the laboratory.

After the nine level-eight soul guidance pillars are completed, he will personally test the results.

Now, he needs to start preparing to repair the small world.

Over the past few days, Jiang Ming has fed the sleeping elves a considerable amount of rare and precious materials of various attributes, and they are already showing signs of awakening.

Jiang Ming felt that all it would take was a powerful energy surge of the corresponding attribute to awaken him.

This is when you need to put your network to the test.

The best candidate to represent the light that Xiao Guang represents is undoubtedly Elder Mu, followed by Yan Shaozhe.

Xiao An corresponds to darkness. There are no powerful individuals with strong dark attributes in Shrek Academy, but Xie Jun was still able to contribute something before his death. Xie Jun's attributes are darkness and evil.

The best candidate to represent the ice that corresponds to Xiao Bing is Xue Di, Ling Luo Chen is also acceptable, or even Huo Yu Hao, since they are all ultimate ice beings.

Xiao Ling has already woken up; there's no need to look for her.

The fire that corresponds to Xiaolian must be Ma Xiaotao, and she herself also has the Sun God Fire, which can provide double stimulation.

The wind that corresponds to Xiaofeng is not found in Shrek Academy. There is no extreme wind attribute, so we can only let Elder Song try. Her martial soul, Azure Shadow Divine Eagle, has a large proportion of wind attribute. We will then obtain some natural treasures with wind attribute to enhance it.

Xiao Huang corresponds to the earth. Xuan Lao's Taotie Divine Ox is very strong in terms of earth attributes, but it is not the ultimate and still needs the blessing of rare and precious materials.
