Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 96 What era is it now!

“We are lagging behind, very behind.”

One of the regular team members shook his head and sighed, saying to the team leader, "It's such a different era now, and we still have ancient fortifications like city walls and gates! They're not convenient at all for getting in and out!"

"And, did you all see that? The defensive soul guides on their city walls are still the primary defensive soul guides that our Sun-Moon Empire has long eliminated! It's so funny!" Another official team member laughed, not hiding his ridicule of the Star Luo Empire's soul guide technology.

Xingluo City, the most prosperous city in the Xingluo Empire, gave them a sense of backwardness and obsolescence. From the city gates and defensive soul guides to the streets and buildings within the city, this was true!

Under the promotion of Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong, the civilian soul guides of the Sun-Moon Empire have already entered a path of rapid development.

Although the popularization of civilian soul guides was opposed by many nobles, who believed that civilians could not enjoy civilian soul guides, this might lead to civilians peeping into soul guide technology.

But with the support of Kong Deming, the number one man in the Sun Moon Empire, no matter how many nobles opposed him, he could just slap them in the face.

With Kong Deming's support, civilian soul guides have become rapidly popular in recent years. Mingdetang and the emerging nobles, who have made a lot of wealth through civilian soul guides, will no longer allow the old nobles to prohibit the popularization of civilian soul guides.

Money is only money when it circulates.

The Sun-Moon Empire couldn't stop its pursuit of profit from civilian soul guides. Although many people from the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent openly resisted, they secretly enjoyed the convenience brought by the Sun-Moon Empire's soul guides.

It is impossible for these people to make public the civilian soul guides they obtained from the Sun-Moon Empire with great difficulty. This has also led to the fact that the people of the three countries originally belonging to the Douluo Continent have not changed much, and the soul guide technology has not brought them any convenience.

As for imitation, the soul guide technology of the Sun-Moon Empire is a thousand years ahead of the three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent. The technologies of both sides are not in the same era at all. The three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent simply do not have the resources to imitate so many soul guides.

Moreover, the imitation of civilian soul guides would drag down resources and lead to a relative reduction in military investment, which was unacceptable to the officials of the three countries.

The Three Kingdoms need high-intensity military investment to maintain resistance to the military of the Sun and Moon Empire.

As for the people, let them suffer a little longer.

After listening to the team members' stories, the teacher nodded and said, "Yes, this is the scene of Xingluo City, the capital of the Xingluo Empire, the most powerful of the three kingdoms on Douluo Continent! It's old and outdated, the result of not paying attention to soul guidance technology."

The team members quieted down and listened to the leader's explanation.

Teachers are always teachers. Their abilities may be stronger than that of the team leader, but when it comes to teaching, everyone has their own expertise.

"Just now, on your way here, you also saw those staff members' disdain for our Sun Moon Empire, right? It's just like looking at the world from a well."

The leading teacher looked at everyone calmly and continued, "Of course, I'm not saying this to encourage you to hate those staff members. I'm reminding you that although you have great talent in cultivation, don't forget your soul guidance skills. It's because of soul guidance technology that our Sun-Moon Empire has such powerful strength! Moreover, in the future, soul guidance technology will eventually become mainstream, and everything will be inseparable from it."

"understand!"

Everyone nodded, believing the leader's words without a doubt. They had already seen soul guidance technology in action, and naturally believed it would become mainstream in the future.

As for those originally from the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent, officials likely wouldn't believe it. Even if they did, few would embrace soul-guiding technology for the sake of their existing power. The first to oppose it were the ancient soul-master families originally from the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent. Their transcendental status stemmed from their overwhelming superiority at the level of their martial spirits.

How could they maintain their superiority after the common people used soul guides to close the distance between them? When the common people could kill the soul master with one shot, the soul master was no longer a master.

After the brief meeting, it was time for everyone to go about their own activities. The competition wouldn't start until tomorrow, so today was just about registration and grouping, which the team leader would naturally take care of.

Huo Yuhao stood at the window, gazing at the scenery of Xingluo City in silence.

Meng Hongchen came up and patted his shoulder, asking, "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing...nothing." Huo Yuhao shook his head. Although he said nothing, everyone could see that he was worried. However, the regular team members were unfamiliar with him, so they had to ask Meng Hongchen, the socialite, to come and inquire about the situation.

Meng Hongchen said to Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, if you don't speak out, it will be very uncomfortable. You are from the Xingluo Empire, and this place is related to your past, right?"

After hearing this, Huo Yuhao fell silent and nodded after a long time.

Meng Hongchen gently pinched Huo Yuhao's arm and said, "Okay, I won't ask any more questions! Remember, you are now a member of our team. Everyone here is your family!"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao looked over there and saw several members of the regular team waving to him. Tang Ya and Nana from the reserve team were also standing there, smiling at Huo Yuhao.

Seeing so many people looking at him with concern, Huo Yuhao nodded heavily: "Yes!"

He saw that Jiang Shengyu and Xiao Hongchen were not there, so he asked, "Where are my cousin and senior Xiao Hongchen?"

Meng Hongchen looked back, then shook his head and said, "I don't know. After the teacher announced the disbandment, they disappeared. I guess they ran out to go shopping. Don't worry about them. One of them is a Soul Sect and the other is a Soul King. They can't be lost."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded.

On the streets of Xingluo City, Jiang Shengyu and Xiao Hongchen were taking a walk. They walked towards the city gate and soon arrived here. After the Shrek Academy team entered, the traffic here was restored.

Although more and more Soul Master Academy teams arrived, these Soul Master Academy teams that were unknown in Xingluo City did not attract the interest of passers-by.

They are just here for formality, as they have no hope of making it to the top three anyway.

The top two spots for Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy are set in stone, and the other teams are all vying for third place. And how could these small, foreign soul master academies possibly compete with the big soul master academies for the third place?
The two of them walked around the Soul Master Academy teams and continued walking out.

Jiang Shengyu looked at Xiao Hongchen in front of him, frowned and asked, "Where are we going?"

Xiao Hongchen turned around and said, "You're ruining the place!"
