Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 132 The Interplay of Metal and Water and the Level 10 Cannonball, Tang Clan's Death Knell, Breaking into the Soul Tower

"Thump" "Thump" "Thump" —

Yu Xin took out a piece of Dragon Fungus Leaf from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire and put it in her mouth. Her soul rings flashed alternately, and she drew dozens of huge bear-like beasts to act as laborers, moving the earth and shaking the mountains.

In no time, the bears finished their work.

"Four level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, twelve level eight shells, thirty-six level seven shells, over a hundred level six shells, and various conventional weapons."

After the inventory was completed, Feng Zaixing frowned deeply: "Even the Federation's most advanced battleships can't compare, can they? Tang Clan, you've got some skill."

"Arming two ships is enough," Yu Xin said.

"That's a good wage." Feng Zaixing accepted it all and filled four storage soul tools.

During the subsequent inspection, Gu Yue, who had been studying at Mingde Hall for a year, rummaged around and discovered a collapsed passage.

"President, this passage may lead to other warehouses."

Gu Yue was in high spirits, her bright eyes shining with a lighthearted joy; she had finally accomplished something.

"It has exploratory value, but it's quite dangerous; let's dismantle this warehouse first." Feng Zaixing thought for a moment and made a plan.

"Huh? Demolish the warehouse?" Gu Yue was stunned. You want everything?

"Of course, this warehouse uses a large amount of Soul Forging Grade metal. None of the eight legions' armories can compare to it. It's a treasure trove when it's recycled."

Feng Zaixing looked at the lump of iron and sighed, saying, "Even if we mobilized the Blacksmith Association, it would be a lot of work to complete so many soul-forged metals. I really don't know how many resources the Tang Sect has used up over the years."

"They even criticized the Federation for being poor and lazy in its military affairs. If the Federation hadn't been provoked by them, how would they have made the decision to research the Level 12 fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shell?"

The Federation had been aware of the fact that Shrek Academy and Tang Sect had been building underground headquarters for three thousand years, but they couldn't stop them and could only follow suit in the arms race.

According to the records Feng Zaixing saw, more than two thousand years ago, the Tang Clan caused a great stir in Tiandou City. The immense unease led the hawks to completely overwhelm the doves, and they gathered a massive amount of resources to create a god-killing cannonball as the Federation's trump card.

It can be said that the first two god-slaying cannonballs were originally prepared for Shrek Academy and Tang Sect.

The Tang Clan is also very self-aware, upgrading the defenses around its headquarters to withstand god-killing shells; at the same time, it is researching a top-tier defense system, which will be completed in a few years.

Both the Federation and the Tang Clan have planted spies in each other's research institutes.

Upon encountering these records, Feng Zaixing understood that using god-slaying cannonballs to destroy Shrek City was a plan the Federation had long held for over two thousand years, and it would inevitably be implemented soon.

If this is not implemented soon, the Tang Sect will be able to develop a defense system that can withstand the God-Slaying Cannonballs. At that time, the first two God-Slaying Cannonballs will be useless, and the only option will be to use the Eternal Heaven. This is something the Federation does not want to see either, because the Eternal Heaven was originally designed for the Abyss Plane.

"In any case, we did our best to resolve the danger." After working for three hours, Aruheng pulled out the last piece of Soul Forged Metal Plate and lay on the ground, panting heavily.

"Yes." Feng Zaixing sat down to meditate in the cleared space. After working hard for more than a week, he also needed to rest.

The news of the discovery of the special artifact was secretly reported, and Luan Hongchen arrived at lightning speed, bringing with him federal commendation.

"Apart from the emergency response team led by the Title Douluo, your team's work efficiency is the highest. The Federation is prepared to award you the 'Disaster Relief Hero' medal."

Luan Hongchen sighed, "The Nine Stars Society are the future pillars of the Federation, and you are the heroes. As the Dean, I am honored to be a part of it."

"It's our duty, but why is there so little federal coverage of the Tang Sect? Are the doves putting in a lot of effort?"

Feng Zaixing chewed on the dragon mushroom leaf, the newly formed blood energy vortex in his chest and the soul power vortex in his lower dantian forming a double cycle. He swayed his shoulders to relieve his physical fatigue.

"It's not the dove, it's that guy from the Sea God Legion. He has a past relationship with some old man from Shrek Academy, and that old woman really doesn't care about saving face..."

Luan Hongchen's face darkened as he explained the whole story, and everyone else's faces also darkened.

They're fighting desperately down below, while a fire breaks out in the rear? It's infuriating.

"Don't be too angry. Anyway, they don't have many years left to live. The future of the Federation belongs to you." Luan Hongchen was also angry, but there was nothing he could do. After all, Chen Xinjie was the Federation's number one fighting force.

Normally, this person is perfectly fine, advocating for the suppression of Shi Tang and promoting war. However, when his old lover comes, he suddenly loses his mind, and even Luan Hongchen finds it hard to understand his thoughts.

"Hopefully, this Lord Han Hai can regain his senses a little longer."

Feng Zaixing's expression was cold and stern. He and Chen Xinjie were not very close to begin with, and he had always relied on using and winning over Chen Xinjie. Now he had to be more wary.

He handed a storage ring to Luan Hongchen, who burst into laughter with excitement. The research value of Tang Sect's fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells was extremely high.

"Dean, there's another passage down there. Could you please take care of that? We're exhausted."

"No problem! Watch me!" Having received such a huge benefit, Luan Hongchen was full of energy.

The level 98 Super Douluo was incredibly efficient. In no time, Luan Hongchen cleared the collapsed road and searched for hundreds of meters along the way, eventually finding a new warehouse.

The warehouse wasn't large, but once it was opened, even Luan Hongchen was so excited he couldn't take his eyes off it.

"Rare metals, and two fixed-position soul-guided shells—Holy crap, level ten stuff!"

Luan Hongchen examined the red fixed-position soul-guided cannonball for a while and quickly confirmed that it was a level 10 fixed-position soul-guided cannonball that the Federation did not have, with an extremely terrifying armor-piercing effect.

According to Tang Sect records, this thing is called "Mother and Child Soul Chaser," and it is specifically designed to attack naval motherships.

"The fact that it contains both gold and water shows the Tang Clan's profound heritage."

What he saw was all extremely rare metals. Feng Zaixing, with his sharp eyes, discovered three pieces of the legendary rare metal, gold and water mixed together.

Even at the Blacksmith Headquarters, he had only seen one in Master Zhenhua's forging room, a piece of which was worth as much as a god-level mecha.

The interaction of gold and water is the best medium, allowing all rare metals to fuse perfectly. The only regret is that no one has yet been able to forge it.

Swallowing hard, Feng Zaixing turned to look at Luan Hongchen, his face resolute, and said, "Dean, quickly empty this place and then fake the scene of it being blown up!"

"good!"

The two worked together seamlessly, and Luan Hongchen took out some Tang Sect soul-guided cannonballs. With a series of thunderous sounds, the secret warehouse, which had been dismantled into pieces, was reduced to ashes.

Aftershocks and secondary explosions are common underground, which the Federal expedition team is used to. Only Zang Xin, a member of the Tang Clan who was transferred from Shrek City headquarters and other branches, looked worried.

The rescue excavation was unsuccessful; the research institute was completely destroyed, researchers and senior workers were all killed, and almost none of the more than two thousand Soul Masters survived.

Of the twelve Title Douluos, only one defensive-type one has survived, but he is barely alive. Three of them have had their bodies found, while the remaining eight are still missing.

Those repeated secondary explosions were like a death knell, striking the hearts of every member of the Tang Clan, making them increasingly dejected and pessimistic.

Zang Xin led his men to salvage some of the few remaining mechanical wreckage from Factory No. 13. Feeling the continuous aftershocks, his expression grew increasingly sorrowful, and he sighed deeply:

"The Tiandou City region has witnessed countless large-scale wars throughout history, and the rights and wrongs are difficult to discuss. It is in this ancient city that the rise and fall of many sects has been determined."

Twenty thousand years ago, Tang San's ancestor led the Seven Devils to establish the Tang Sect, became an imperial tutor, and personally led a million warriors to conquer the evil Spirit Hall, achieving a great victory.

Ten thousand years ago, Lingbing Douluo led the Seven Devils to revitalize the Tang Sect and rebuild its legacy, thus achieving the sect's revival.

Wherever our disciples went, the people welcomed them with open arms; the vibrant life and flourishing of all things are still vivid in our minds. How could this place have become a place of decline for our sect in the past?

"Sect Leader! Don't be discouraged!" Zhao Song and Liang Xiaoyu immediately advised.

"Hehe, just a spontaneous thought—" Zang Xin smiled bitterly, walking with increasing listlessness.

With the decline of millennia of cultural heritage and the dramatic regression of soul-guided technology, many assets have had to be sold off to make ends meet. What does the future hold for the Tang Sect?

He can't see it.

The turmoil in Tiandou City lasted for three months. The Federation spent enormous amounts of manpower and resources, and the Limit Douluo repeatedly investigated to ensure that there were no more hidden dangers underground.

Feng Zaixing led his team to play the entire game, and Yu Guanzhi publicly awarded the nine people the "Federal Hero" Medal of Honor and the "Disaster Relief Task Force" Honorary Banner, and they were reported on together with many other heroes.

Commando leader Feng Zaixing was granted the rank of colonel, Yu Xin was promoted to lieutenant colonel, and Aruheng, being very powerful, was specially promoted to senior colonel, while the rest were promoted to major.

Le Zhengyu was beaten again and exiled by Le Zhengen to Sima Jinchi's Gale Division.

Once the credit was secured, it was time to assign blame. The Federation discovered ten truckloads of soul-guided weapons underground, which Yu Guanzhi personally escorted to Mingdu, causing a huge uproar.

Qian Gu Dongfeng immediately stepped in, publicly accusing the Tang Clan of treason by supplying weapons to the hostile mainland.

That day, after he finished spraying the Tang Clan and returned to his office in the tower, a subordinate reported some special news that made his eyes light up.

"Feng Zaixing led his men to challenge the Soul Tower, selecting soul spirits for his subordinates. Has Deputy Tower Master Leng already sent them in?"
