Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 25 Soul Master and Soul Master
Under the coercion of Shrek Academy, the defeated Sun-Moon Empire not only changed the name of the Sun-Moon Continent from ancient times to the present, but also signed a series of unequal treaties.

From then on, Shrek Academy's reputation reached a new level. It was originally a dominant force in the Douluo Continent, and now it has the style of the dominant Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago.

Liu Xing knew very well that Shrek Academy, Tang Sect and Haotian Sect were all closely related to Tang San, the former protagonist of this world.

Tang San has already become a god, and with his care, it is natural that Shrek Academy is doing so well. Although the Haotian Sect has chosen to hide from the world, anyone with a little status dare not underestimate the Haotian Sect.

The only one that is hard to understand is the Tang Clan. Among the three forces, it feels like the Tang Clan was raised by a stepmother and is the one that is doing the worst.

But these are not what Liuxing should care about. He collects this information just to find something familiar to him. After all, he is not sure whether this is really the world ten thousand years later in the novel he has read, or a seemingly parallel world.

With Luan Yu's introduction, Liuxing and Liuying gradually got to know the Sun-Moon Empire. Although the Sun-Moon Empire and the three major empires are still in a state of hostility, the current emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire still abides by the treaty signed by the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire when it was defeated four thousand years ago. He has no intention of starting a war, and restricts domestic soul guides from developing soul guides related to war. He vigorously promotes the development of civilian soul guides, making the living standards of the people in the Sun-Moon Empire far ahead of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

The current emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire suppresses the pro-war factions, restricts the research and development of soul guides of mass destruction, and also restricts the popularization of soul guides in the military field. He concentrates on the research and development of civilian soul guides. He is deeply loved by the people of the Sun-Moon Empire and has a good reputation among the people of the Sun-Moon Empire.

Even Luan Yu has a good impression of the current royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire. After all, she does not like war, nor does she reject the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, otherwise she would not call Nan Shuishui sisters. Her dream is to do research peacefully and make some money. If she has the opportunity, she also wants to climb to the realm of the legendary tenth-level soul engineer.

She is happy to see the relatively peaceful environment in Douluo Continent today.

But now that she has two little ones, she also has to consider their future. They can't be like her, traveling around the world.

To survive in this Douluo Continent, strength, connections, and relationships are all indispensable. The reason why she can be so free is because she is a ninth-level soul mentor and has a powerful sister to support her, so she wants to bring the two little guys back to Mingdu of the Sun and Moon Empire to give the two little guys a good foundation.

Although strength is respected in Douluo Continent, those who are righteous will have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous will have few. The way to go is to make many friends, just like Shrek Academy. When they stood up and called for the support of hundreds of people, they gathered hundreds of Titled Douluo to fight for them in a short period of time. That was an extremely powerful force that not only shocked the Sun and Moon Empire, but even the three original Douluo Kingdoms were moved by it. Because of that holy war, Shrek Academy exposed their amazing appeal, which made the three major empires extremely wary of Shrek Academy until now.

However, due to Shrek Academy's appeal, powerful strength, and thousands of years of heritage, the three empires did not dare to break off relations with Shrek Academy. They could only find ways to suppress it and weaken Shrek Academy from the side.

The Shrek Academy's Supervisory Group is well-known throughout the continent. They have the right to conduct private trials even for nobles from the three major empires. As long as there is solid evidence and the nobles have violated the law, the Shrek Supervisory Group can execute them first and report later. You can imagine how powerful Shrek Academy is.

It's no wonder the three empires were so wary of Shrek Academy. Any emperor wouldn't have allowed it to exist. However, circumstances proved more powerful than anyone. While Shrek Academy was merely a single academy, its influence and power far surpassed those of the Three Douluo Kingdoms. If a war broke out, the three empires would likely be crushed. Furthermore, Shrek Academy guarded the Star Dou Great Forest, repeatedly blocking waves of ferocious beasts from the forest and making indelible contributions to the continent. The three empires couldn't easily move against Shrek Academy, so they could only allow this kingdom within a kingdom to develop smoothly for tens of thousands of years.

Especially in the Tianhun Empire, Shrek Academy is located in their territory, which is an area beyond the jurisdiction of their imperial family.

In Luanyu's opinion, the future of this Douluo Continent belongs to soul masters. Even if Meteor and Firefly do not have the talent to become soul masters, they can still familiarize themselves with how to use soul guides so that they will not fall behind the times like the traditional soul masters of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

The people of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms may still look down on soul masters and underestimate soul guides, but Luan Yu, as a ninth-level soul master, is very clear and is certain that soul masters will become the mainstream in the future.

This is also one of the reasons why Luanyu wanted to bring Meteor and Firefly back to the Sun and Moon Empire instead of leaving them in Dilongmen.

Although among the Titled Douluo, the Ninth Level Soul Master is at a disadvantage most of the time when facing traditional Titled Douluo, but if the Ninth Level Soul Master is given enough preparation time and distance is kept, the Ninth Level Soul Master can kite and kill any Titled Douluo without any injury.

The two sides are not on the same track at all. Below the Titled Douluo, soul masters below the Soul Sage level can often rely on the endless stream of soul guides to gain the upper hand and suppress traditional soul masters.

However, once a traditional soul master reaches the Soul Saint level and possesses a martial soul avatar, he can in turn suppress soul masters of the same level again, and can suppress them all the way from Soul Saint to Titled Douluo.

This is also one of the reasons why traditional soul masters have never been able to take a fancy to soul engineers. So what if they are stronger in the early stage? Once they break through to the Soul Saint level, soul engineers are really a bit powerless when facing traditional soul masters.

The disadvantage of soul masters is the soul power training, because most soul masters' energy is on the research of soul guides, and the time for training is inevitably reduced. Therefore, most soul masters practice by taking drugs, resulting in a foundation that is not as good as traditional soul masters. Moreover, in the future, with the cooperation of soul guides, most of the soul rings absorbed by soul masters are soul skills that amplify soul power, or amplify the soul skills of soul guides, which do not greatly increase their own combat effectiveness. Once they lose their soul guides, they are lambs to be slaughtered.

Moreover, among the soul guides, there is not a single Super Douluo on the surface. They can only rely on powerful ninth-level soul guides to compete with Super Douluos, let alone Extreme Douluos.

There is a reason why most traditional soul masters look down on soul guides and despise soul guides. Since they cannot produce top-notch masters, the soul guide system is a dead end in the eyes of traditional soul masters.
