Douluo Continent II: You're an evil spirit master, but also a philanthropist?

Xu Cheng and Tang Ya exchanged a glance. The latter glared at Xu Cheng and looked away. Xu Cheng just smiled and didn't say anything more.

"..."

The dinner table.

Meng Hongchen kept searching for topics to discuss.

Criticizing the actual control of the soul guidance system is a waste of time teaching them soul guidance knowledge; it would be more satisfying to have more practical combat experience.

The actual control soul guidance system, also known as the "martial soul system", focuses on manipulating soul guidance devices and combining them with humans, rather than researching and manufacturing soul guidance devices.

After another round of casual conversation, Meng Hongchen finally steered the conversation toward Xu Cheng.

"Hey, Xu Cheng, your eyes are so beautiful! Are they dyed?"

"I?"

Xu Cheng was stunned.

“His eyes are his martial spirit, they’re innate, how could they be stained?” Xiao Hongchen answered for Xu Cheng, oblivious to the romantic implications.

"Is that so..." Meng Hongchen narrowed her beautiful eyes, making Xiao Hongchen feel a chill down her spine.

"Mmm, the food smells really good today..." The latter buried his head and focused on eating.

"Is Xu Cheng's martial soul an eye?" Meng Hongchen's expression changed in an instant, and she looked at Xu Cheng with a gentle expression.

"Yes, Blood Eye."

Xu Cheng chuckled.

As for Meng Hongchen, we should try to win him over if possible.

Since it was Jing Hongchen's good intention, and as a prince of the Sun Moon Empire who had never intended to avoid the competition for the throne, he naturally could not refuse.

Moreover, even if we don't try to win them over, we absolutely cannot hand them over to the other side.

His two older brothers, the Fourth Prince Xu Jiran, who had many cronies in the court, and the Crown Prince Xu Tianran, who, although crippled, was extremely secretive, were both keeping a close eye on him...

Chapter 11 Laughing at the World: People's Hearts Are Too Cold for Me to Touch

After dinner, Xu Cheng declined Meng Hongchen's invitation to attend the welcome party.

Dance partners and the like.

Compared to girls, he still found soul tools more interesting.

For example, missile design.

If the current Sun Moon Empire could develop ballistic technology for precise long-range strikes, such as a certain wind, it could travel around the world and instantly silence the entire globe.

If the Sun Moon Empire could also achieve the same level of precision, using level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons to target any inch of the entire continent, Shrek Academy would likely not have witnessed Xuanzi's arrogant and domineering act of openly stealing students during the Soul Master Competition...

Of course, short-range automatic tracking technology had already been developed in the Sun Moon Empire. When Huo Gua was transferred to the Royal Academy of the Sun Moon Empire, some students from the Sun Moon Empire used it during the challenge.

It's not a technological barrier.

However, to accurately strike a level 9 soul-guided cannon tens of thousands of kilometers away is not in the same league as short-range (within 100 meters) tracking technology; it requires at least a level 7 or 8 soul-guided device.

Furthermore, it also needs to counter radar. Before Mu En and Xuan Zi could discover it, they had to smash the level 9 fixed-mount soul-guided cannon in, which made the difficulty level much higher.

Of course, the reason for this idea also lies in the analysis of the soul tool this morning.

Within the core formation of a first-order soul tool.

Because of his [Analysis Mastery], Xu Cheng's analysis was exceptionally thorough, including the operational rules of the entire formation, how each element combined together would activate when soul power was mobilized.

These runes, like a program, appeared before Xu Cheng.

After investigation, Xu Cheng discovered a clue: the Sun Moon Empire's technology tree seemed to have gone astray, focusing too much on explosions and the power of soul tools, thus neglecting guidance technology.

In the original work.

The ninth-level Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire all carry ninth-level Soul Guidance Cannons with them. When they really need to strike a target, they use a flying Soul Guidance Device to transport themselves there, then act as a World War II aircraft, dropping them off and running away.

How cumbersome! How embarrassing!

There's always this feeling that the train isn't powered by steam, but rather pulled by horses.

"Xiao, what classes do you have this afternoon?"

Xu Cheng snapped out of his daze and asked Xiao Hongchen, who was lazily sitting with his hands on his neck.

The two were walking on a tree-lined path on campus.

Proceed to the teaching area.

"History class, it's like they're talking about continental changes..."

Laughing at the world's ways.

"What, trying to skip class?"

“There’s no need. Studying it tonight will be the same thing,” Xu Cheng pondered.

As for missile guidance, it is still in the conceptual stage.

His priority right now is to solidify his foundation, avoid being overly ambitious, and first understand the principles of most level-one soul tools.

At least it can be foreseen that his future achievements in soul guidance will not be low, and it can also greatly improve his combat power. He has already reached the pinnacle in terms of martial soul. With a level 30 twin martial soul, he is definitely a genius who appears only once in a thousand years among the violent madmen of Shrek Academy.

Therefore, what we need to do now is to do both things at the same time...

"Holy crap, you, King of Scrolls... I didn't realize!" Xiao Hongchen exclaimed exaggeratedly. "Stop pretending! You said you'd never handled a soul tool before, but you finished analyzing it in ten minutes. Even I'm not as fast as you at this level!"

"..."

Standing on the podium was an elderly man with glasses and a scholarly air.

"come in……"

Upon seeing the two, he smiled and said...

After everyone was seated, he tapped the blackboard.

His face gradually turned serious.

At the same time, the entire classroom fell silent.

"Four thousand years ago, the Sun Moon Continent collided with the Shrek Continent. This was a turning point in history. At the same time, the Three Kingdoms, equipped with Tang Sect hidden weapons, immediately entered a state of war with our Sun Moon Empire. As it turned out, although Tang Sect hidden weapons were sophisticated, they were still far inferior to our soul tools. In that battle, the old Three Kingdoms were defeated by us..."

The old man leaned back, a hint of emotion in his eyes.

"But Shrek Academy truly lived up to its reputation as the number one academy. The dean at the time responded to every call, summoning over sixty titled Douluo to join the battle, and then turned the tide of the war. My Sun Moon Empire and Sun Moon Continent were forced to change their name to Douluo Continent..."

At this point, the trainees present were clearly filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could go to the battlefield and fight back...

The name change remains a permanent source of pain for the people of the Sun and Moon Empire.

No matter how many times I've known about it before, I can't let it go when it's brought up again.

"..."

The old man's voice was deep.

It slowly recounts that "humiliating" history. After all, as a defeated nation, it naturally had to pay reparations and a series of treaties.

Although these treaties became less important as the Sun Moon Empire's national strength increased, they were still a humiliating and bloody history.

"Damn it, once I get stronger, I'll throw a few level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons over there and blow Shrek Academy up!" Xiao Hongchen said angrily.

"That'll probably be at least thirty years from now," Xu Cheng said dismissively, flipping through his textbook.

"Hey, you're supposed to be from the Sun and Moon Royal Family, how come you don't seem to have any of that aura?" Xiao Hongchen nudged Xu Cheng's arm and whispered.

"What should I do?" Xu Cheng raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Hongchen.

"At least... well, be indignant, at least appear angry about this humiliating history." Xiao Hongchen pondered, stroking his chin.

"That's all fluff. What's the use of anger? Can it raze Shrek Academy to the ground? Can it erase that humiliating history?" Xu Cheng turned his gaze back to the textbook. "It's better to secretly research soul tools and go for something big..."

"Damn, that's sneaky!" Xiao Hongchen shrank his neck.

"Besides, if you want revenge, there has been a suitable opportunity in the last few years..." Xu Cheng smiled.

"You mean... the Continental Academy Soul Master Tournament?" Xiao Hongchen's eyes lit up.

"Laugh, stand up and answer this question."

A voice interrupted their conversation from the podium.

Xiao Hongchen slowly stood up, awkwardly scratching the back of his head. He gently lifted Xu Cheng's stool with his foot, lowered his head, and asked in a low voice, "What question did the teacher ask?"

"Discuss that battle, why the Sun Moon Empire was defeated, and the insights and discussions about the defeat."

Xu Cheng transmitted his voice directly through mental energy.

His expression remained calm, and even under the watchful eyes of the entire class, he showed no flaws whatsoever.

"Ahem, about the defeat, well... I mean, nothing is absolute. Personally, I think it's still... well, this matter..." Xiao Hongchen spoke nonsensically with a calm expression.

"Alright, sit down." The old man shook his head helplessly.

"Xu Cheng, you're my deskmate, stand up and say something."

"Yes."
