Douluo Continent: The Second Prince of Xingluo Intercepts the Zhu Sisters

Chapter 98 The Favoritism of the Ancestor, and the Shame of Dai Long

"Boss. What kind of behavior is this, rushing around like this the whole way?" Dai Long was already in a bad mood these days, and seeing Davis's lack of progress only made him feel worse.

Davis is destined to be the emperor of the empire.

"Father, these are some soul tools made by my second brother. I came here specifically to show them to you." Davis quickly bowed to Dai Long and took out the soul tools.

"Soul tools?" Dai Long's expression turned serious. He couldn't care less about lecturing Davis now. The reason he had humbled himself and begged Dai Tian to come back was for these soul tools.

However, he was unsure just how useful the soul tool Dai Tian had created would be.

After all, soul tools are still just conceptual things, with only spatial soul tools ever being released on a large scale.

Without any physical evidence, relying solely on a few papers is hardly convincing.

Even though Dai Tian was already a true theoretical master who had put forward the theory of the [Soul Core], he was still too young. Some Soul Masters even felt that Dai Tian was young and impetuous and exaggerated the use of Soul Tools for fame and fortune.

After all, the soul tool brings about a new profession.

If the Soul Guidance World described by Dai Tian is true, then the profession of Soul Guidance Master will very likely surpass that of pure Soul Master in the future.

Anyone with a brain can see that the prospects for Soul Masters are definitely good.

In the future, commoner Soul Masters can learn to make Soul Tools to get rich. Even if they only become Level 1 or Level 2 Soul Masters, they will definitely be able to make a living.

Unlike now, ordinary Soul Masters used to team up in Soul Hunting Town to hunt Soul Beasts and earn their money through hard work.

Lower and middle-level Soul Masters can earn money, and ordinary people can also earn money through part-time jobs. The upper-class noble Soul Masters will naturally become even wealthier. It can only be said that with the opening of the Soul Guidance Industry, every social class will benefit from this era's tide.

"How are these soul tools used?" Dai Long asked somewhat awkwardly.

"Father, this is a flying soul tool. You can fly as long as you carry it on your back. I've tested it, and even a Soul Master can use this soul tool to achieve short-distance flight." Dai Long's expression changed upon hearing this.

Aside from Soul Masters with Flying Martial Souls, most Soul Masters below the Soul Saint level do not possess the ability to levitate. Even Soul Saints only have the ability to levitate for short periods.

Soul Masters rely on their Martial Souls. Since Martial Souls do not have the ability to fly, it is quite difficult for Soul Masters to achieve flight.

Dai Long took off his dragon robe, put on the flying soul tool, and activated his soul power. A bright red light shot out from the back of the flying soul tool, and Dai Long took off at that moment.

Dai Long quickly got the hang of it. He used the tilt of his body to control direction and the amount of soul power he transferred to control flight speed.

Dai Long was greatly alarmed.

Soul Masters above the Soul Emperor level are extremely rare, with only a few thousand across the entire continent.

However, there are quite a few Soul Masters at the Soul Venerable level.

If a thousand-strong Soul Master squad were assembled and equipped with such flying soul tools, the combat power of this thousand-strong squad would probably be no less than that of an army of 100,000-year-old beings.

Dai Long tested the soul tools one by one, and then summoned Zhu Yue, the head of the Zhu family.

"Zhu Qing, what do you think of these soul tools?"

"This could absolutely revolutionize the development of the entire continent. With the advent of soul tools, the importance of ordinary armies will be greatly diminished. Whoever possesses a powerful legion of soul masters will be able to seize the initiative in battle." Zhu Yue could not hide his shock.

These soul-guided devices will absolutely revolutionize the future of military technology.

"Sigh. Yes. Soul tools are too important. What Dai Tian showed us is probably just the tip of the iceberg."

"Moreover, the research on soul tools is still in its early stages. If the manufacturing becomes more refined in the future, there should be soul tools that far surpass these," Dai Long said earnestly.

"It's a pity... Zhu Qing, I'll need you to negotiate with Dai Tian more." Dai Long knew that he was no father in Dai Tian's eyes, and he couldn't use the father-son relationship to ask Dai Tian to serve the country.

Zhu Yue's two daughters are now loyal to Dai Tian. He feels that Zhu Yue's words probably carry more weight than his own.

"Your Majesty, I will do my best." Zhu Yue's lips curled up. He was increasingly delighted. Although that brat Dai Tian had secretly taken advantage of his two daughters, it was a good thing.

He could tell that Dai Long had already regretted it.

If Dai Tian wanted to be the crown prince now, Dai Long would probably make him the heir apparent without hesitation. And no one would dare to object.

……

After returning to the palace, Dai Tian did not go to see Dai Long, but went to see Dai Tianhong, the ancestor of the Dai family, as soon as possible.

Although he was very unhappy with Dai Long, Dai Tian always held this ancestor in high esteem.

Since awakening his martial soul, Dai Tian has been cultivating with the old man, and they have developed feelings for each other.

"Great-Grandpa, Xiaotian is back."

The secluded palace was spotless, yet completely empty.

The old man prefers peace and quiet and has been practicing meditation here, not wanting to be disturbed by outsiders.

"You brat. You actually came back to see your grandpa?" The old man was clearly delighted to see Dai Tian. He looked Dai Tian up and down, quite surprised.

Compared to when he left, Dai Tian's aura was far, far stronger. For a moment, he was surprised to find that he could not detect Dai Tian's true strength.

"I was just afraid that if I came back, I would upset some people." Dai Tian shrugged.

Back in the Dai family, Dai Long disliked him. The Empress and Davis were constantly afraid of him, fearing he would get involved in the struggle for the throne.

Even if they maintain a facade of kinship, can there truly be any kinship in such a state?

"Hmph. Who dares?"

"You are the most outstanding descendant of my Dai family in a thousand years. Who would dare to be dissatisfied with you? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? The things in the Dai family are getting worse and worse. They only dare to flatter each other in their own backyard." Dai Tianhong said angrily.

He had previously been fairly satisfied with Davis.

But watching Dai Tian grow up by his side, he became dissatisfied with Davis and even Dai Long.

The Dai family has finally produced a true genius; what exactly are these people trying to do?

Especially Dai Long. He couldn't control his lust, yet he still despised his wife. Regardless of whether Dai Tian was born to a maid, since she is of the Dai family bloodline, what distinction is there between high and low status?

Dai Long and Zhu Yue, who had rushed over and were about to push open the door, stopped in their tracks upon hearing the commotion inside. Zhu Yue was somewhat embarrassed and uneasy. Had he actually overheard the Dai family patriarch cursing the emperor? Should he still stay here?

Dai Long was pale and filled with shame. After all, it was the truth; he had indeed made a mistake.

This world is an era where bloodlines matter, and nine out of ten Soul Masters have a hierarchy of contempt in their hearts to some extent.
