Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 175 Moon's En's Sights and Sounds in Xilu City
While Huo Yuhao was heading to the Passion Headquarters, Mu En was leisurely strolling through the streets of Xilu City in his wheelchair.

He looked around at the shops with curiosity, clicking his tongue in amazement.

Then, I used the magic net to take pictures and sent them to the group chat of the higher-ups in Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department.

Dark Dragon Emperor: "Lin'er..."

What do you think of these soul tools?

"I am the dean!" "!"

"Teacher, the quality of these soul tools is only average, but is the price really not a joke?"

“How can it be so cheap?”

"Lin'er, you'll regret this!" "Goodness!"

"Although the soul tool is not of a high grade, its price is truly in a class of its own."

"Elder Mu, is this true?"

Dark Dragon Emperor: "Let me take another look."

"I'll let you know if I have any more information."

After shutting down the magic network, Moon continued to look at the dazzling array of soul-guided artifacts on the commercial street.

Moon's online name was taken from Long Xiaoyao as a way of commemorating him.

Of course, what Mu En didn't know was that Long Xiaoyao's online name was "Light Dragon God," which just goes to show how true he was to his former best friend.

The commercial streets of Xilu City are filled with soul tools for sale at extremely low prices.

A soul-guided lamp costs only five copper soul coins, which is incredibly cheap. Mu En even doubted whether the price was enough to cover the cost of materials.

He knew a bit about soul tools and knew that making one cost a lot of money.

Material costs, labor costs, and time costs make soul tools expensive.

Non-Soul Master groups simply cannot afford it!

Suddenly, Moon stopped in front of a shop, his eyes scanning the soul tool hanging at the entrance.

Unlike the other bustling shops, this store was extremely quiet.

Because this shop sells soul-guided weapons, there are a large number of soul-guided cannons, soul-guided shells, and soul-guided shields hanging inside.

With a gentle sweep of his mental energy, Mu En gained a general understanding of the grades of these soul tools.

"Is the highest level five?"

Then, he picked up a very simple level four soul-guided ray gun, examined it carefully, and sent the picture to the Soul Guidance Department's group chat.

Then, after looking at the prices, Moon's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Two hundred gold soul coins?"

"Are you kidding me with this price?"

The shopkeeper inside was idly browsing the magic network when he saw Moon playing with a soul tool at the entrance. He came out and said:
"Guest, is there anything you would like?"

"However, I should mention in advance that you need passion certification to possess a soul-guided cannon in Xilu City."

"I wouldn't dare sell it without proof."

Moon shook his head slightly, looking at the shop manager with a smile and saying:
"I'll just take a look."

"I'm just surprised how cheap the soul tools are here."

"Shop manager, can you talk to the old man about this?"

The store manager glanced at Moon and thought that business wasn't good, so it would be nice to have someone to chat with.

"Of course, the elderly can come into the store."

Moon followed the shop manager into the store.

The store manager took a bottle of chilled juice from the refrigerator in the back room and handed it to Moon, saying:
"Is the old man from outside the Tiandou Plain?"

"The Tiandou Plain is very different now."

Moon took the juice, his eyes showing a hint of doubt, and said:

"I am a teacher at Shrek Academy, but it has indeed been a long time since I left the academy."

Why do you say the Tiandou Plain is different now?

The store manager showed a hint of excitement when he heard that Moon was a teacher at Shrek Academy.

"Are you a teacher at Shrek Academy?"

"Do you know the children, Bai'er and Medemus?"

"How are they doing?"

“These two kids used to come over every day to help move things. They were well-known as handsome young men in the surrounding area of ​​Xilu City.”

Moon nodded to himself, a look of appreciation on his face. He had already heard quite a few stories about these children during his visit.

The residents of Xilu City were all praising the children, and once they started praising them, they couldn't stop.

"Yes, these two kids are quite famous at Shrek Academy right now."

"You could say you're my future student."

"They are all true super geniuses."

The store manager scratched the back of his head and said with a smile:
"I'll just say it."

"These two children will make something of themselves someday."

"If they can't even achieve anything significant, then this world is truly beyond saving."

Upon hearing that Moon was Bai Er's teacher, the shopkeeper immediately started talking.

"To be honest, since the emergence of the new soul tool factory, the price of soul tools in the entire Tiandou Plain has plummeted."

"A large number of high-quality and inexpensive soul tools have flooded into the Tiandou Plain."

“The Soul Guide Lamp that originally cost one hundred gold soul coins can now be bought for five copper soul coins outside.”

"All soul tools of level five and below are worthless now."

“I visited the Soul Tool Factory when I was sourcing goods before.”

"The soul tools are manufactured and assembled on an assembly line like a flowing river."

"Everyone who saw it showed an expression of surprise!"

"Oh, right, I also took a video, let me show you."

The shopkeeper pulled up a picture of the Soul Tool Factory from the magic network. Mu En took a closer look and his eyes widened slightly.

He saw a large number of people sitting neatly on both sides of the assembly line, with different batches of people responsible for different parts of the soul guide.

Everyone worked together seamlessly, producing soul tools at an astonishing speed. On the assembly line, there were also tools that Moon didn't recognize, used to cut and process rare metals.

There were also some unknown large soul tools buzzing around, from which soul tool cores inscribed with core magic arrays flowed out.

These large soul tools are simplified versions of soul tool machines personally designed by Huo Yuhao. The carving precision is average, and the highest level they can carve is a level 5 core magic array.

Huo Yuhao permitted the buying and selling of these machine tools, but their core components were encrypted using alchemy to prevent technology leaks.

Moon mentally estimated the speed of both the traditional soul masters and the soul tool factory.

Without a doubt, the Soul Tool Factory could easily annihilate traditional Soul Masters.

Just thinking about how this production capacity could be used to mass-produce soul-guided projectiles made Moon's body tremble.

"Let me tell you a little-known fact: I heard that a factory north of Xilu City is researching some kind of high-precision soul-guided machine tool."

"I heard that if the research and development is successful, advanced soul tools can also be produced in factories."

Moon listened to the store manager's words while keeping her eyes glued to the video in front of her.

He felt like a country bumpkin. He had only stayed at Shrek Academy for a short time, but when he came out, he found that Shrek Academy was almost abandoned by the times.

"Is the entire Tiandou Plain like this now?"

"Also, how do ordinary people use soul tools? Don't they have no soul power?"

Upon hearing Moon's question, the store manager answered enthusiastically:

"Yes, now the Tiandou Plain is full of soul tool factories."

"They have even begun dumping soul tools in areas outside the Tiandou Plain."

"Ordinary people can use Dream Coins to activate Soul Guidance Devices; one Dream Coin can keep a Soul Guidance Lamp burning for half a year."

"Although ordinary people do not have soul power, they still have spiritual power. A family can slowly accumulate spiritual power on the magic network for ten days and exchange it for a dream coin."

"Moreover, the wages in our Xilu City are known for being very high."

"It's hard to say about other places."

Moon realized that Shrek Academy could no longer remain stagnant, as the outside world had already begun a massive explosion of soul tools.

Shrek Academy still maintains the traditional Soul Master system, and the Martial Soul system even suppresses the Soul Guidance system.

Shrek is falling behind the times little by little.

He looked at the store manager and said:

Could you send me a copy of this video?

The store manager waved his hand and said:
"So what? There's no ban on enthusiasm anyway."

After the shop manager sent the video to Moon, Moon transferred 100 Dream Coins to him as a token of gratitude, thanked him, and left. On his way to the orphanage in Xilu City, Moon turned back and took one last, deep look at the commercial street.

The widespread use of soul tools has made this place increasingly resemble a modern metropolis, almost unrecognizable from Shrek City.

Mu En shook his head slightly and posted the video and his observations of Xilu City to the Shrek Academy Soul Guidance Department group chat.

Everyone in the group chat was horrified after watching the video.

"I am the dean!" "What?!"

"How can this be?"

"Soul tools from the outside world are actually being mass-produced?!"

"Lin'er, you'll regret this!" "Unbelievable."

"However, Lin'er, this might not be an opportunity for our Soul Guidance Department!"

"Fan Yu": "That's right, this might be our opportunity."

"It seems that an unprecedented revolution in soul tools is taking place in the outside world."

"Shrek Academy cannot be late for this grand event."

"Fortunately, this revolution in soul tools occurred in the Heavenly Soul Empire, not the Sun Moon Empire."

"We need to visit these soul tool factories, and perhaps even cooperate with them!"

"We are all from the Douluo Three Kingdoms, so there shouldn't be any difficulties in cooperating."

"Once the cooperation is reached, we will take full responsibility for the money and resources, and we will also build such a factory in Shrek City."

"I am the dean!" "Well said, let's do it that way!"

"Qian Duoduo! Let's contact them right away and go for a visit over there."

"Lin'er, you'll regret this!" "It's wrapped!"

After reading the conversation from the Soul Guidance Department, Moon felt slightly relieved.

At least the higher-ups in the Soul Guidance Department are quite good; they are ambitious and understand the current situation.

If Xian Lin'er weren't a bit lacking in talent, she would be more suitable to take the helm than Yan Shaozhe.

The thought of Yan Shaozhe made Mu En furious! The outside world was already undergoing a revolution in soul tools, yet he was still clinging to the old ways.

Do soul tools conflict with soul masters? Can't soul masters use soul tools?

Fortunately, Shrek Academy has ushered in new hope.

Moon really didn't want to hand Shrek over to Yan Shaozhe and Xuanzi before he died.

If Zhang Lexuan were even a little stronger, Mu En would have dared to take Yan Shaozhe down with him.

One lacks a sense of the big picture, and the other is always causing trouble. How can these two guide Shrek's future?
As Mu En pondered this, he wheeled himself in his wheelchair and soon arrived at the orphanage in Xilu City.

Looking at the gate of the orphanage, he used his spiritual power to sense the overall architecture and couldn't help but nod.

"really not bad."

“They really care about these orphans.”

"Hahaha! They live even better than the students at Shrek Academy."

Mu En entered the orphanage with a smile, where Director Zuo Man'er had been waiting for a long time.

Huo Yuhao had told her in advance that the Sea God Pavilion Master would be visiting the orphanage.

Upon seeing Mu En, Zuo Man'er bowed and said:

"Your Majesty the Dragon God, welcome."

A smile graced Moon's aged face as he spoke to her:

"I know you."

"Lin Huiqun told me that the director of the Xilu City Orphanage used to be a student of Shrek University."

"Judging from your energetic appearance, you must have chosen the right path."

"That's good. The most important thing in cultivation is to find the path that suits you best."

"Unfortunately, my apprentice just couldn't understand this principle."

Zuo Man'er didn't speak, but listened to Mu En's ramblings as a listener. After getting his permission, she pushed him around the orphanage.

Moon's attention was entirely on the children. Seeing their rosy complexions and healthy appearance, he couldn't help but say:
"I'm quite old, so I'll call you Xiao Zuo. I hope you don't mind."

"The children at the Xilu City Orphanage are living quite well."

"The food is fine, and the accommodation is also acceptable."

"If the students of Shrek Academy saw this, they would probably be green with envy."

"Hahaha!"

The thought of the accommodations at Shrek Academy made Zuo Man'er's face fall.

"Your Majesty the Dragon God, I actually think the students' living environment could be better."

"At least add more showers."

"Back then, there were four hundred people vying for those few showers."

Feeling the curious and energetic gazes of the children around him, Moon laughed heartily and said:
"You're doing alright."

"Back in my day, there were 600 people vying for one toilet."

"Every time I go to the toilet, I have to activate my martial spirit and take down a bunch of people."

"By the way, is that the teaching building over there?"

"You're still teaching these children?"

Hearing Moon's words, Zuo Man'er looked gently at the distant teaching building and said:
"It was covered with enthusiasm."

“These orphans won’t live here forever.”

"The Passionate Society will send people to teach children without soul power some life skills."

"These basic skills, such as blacksmithing and arithmetic, and the smarter ones can learn soul tool design. If you learn these, you won't necessarily become rich and powerful, but you'll definitely be able to live a normal life in Xilu City."

Upon hearing about the soul tool design, Moon looked somewhat puzzled.

"How can a child without soul power learn about soul tools?"

Zuo Man'er didn't speak, but pushed Mu En towards the teaching building, stopping by a classroom window and saying:

"This is the Soul Tool Design course."

"Although these children don't have soul power, they are all quite intelligent."

"They drew the core magic array on paper and completed the operation verification through theoretical calculations."

"This is what the passionate leader once said."

"The design of soul tools does not actually require soul power at all."

"Ordinary people can completely replace soul power by learning theoretical knowledge and using mathematical formulas."

"Complete the design of the soul tool on a single sheet of paper."

"They can't make soul tools, but they can design them!"

"To be honest, these kids who have learned soul tool design are in high demand at the soul tool factory."

Upon hearing Zuo Man'er's words, Mu En's eyes showed surprise, and he said from the bottom of his heart:

"Lingbing Douluo is truly a genius."

"A soul tool design, what a wonderful soul tool design."

"Shrek's Soul Guidance Department is not only technologically backward, but also seriously outdated in its teaching philosophy."

"Soul tool design and soul tool manufacturing also involve calculations."

"No wonder a revolution in soul tools has broken out here!"

"This has truly broadened my horizons!"

"it is good!"

"Next time I see Lingbing, I must have a good talk with him."

Moon's eyes gleamed as he saw the teaching methods of Xilu City. He seemed to understand how to deal with the Soul Guidance Department.

Afterwards, Zuo Man'er took Mu En to the archives and handed him the files of Bai E and others.

When Mu En saw the village where Bai E lived being slaughtered by evil spirit masters, his eyes narrowed, and he silently thought to himself:
"Perhaps this is fate."

"We didn't let this child die under the evil spirit master's blade."

"When you get old, you really can't wait any longer."

"Bai'er, the future of Shrek Academy is in your hands and your companions' hands."

"Before that, let me personally cleanse Shrek Academy for you. I will be the one to initiate the reforms of the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department."

"I won't leave Shrek's illness to you young people."
