Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

"It's right here..."

"In addition, I hope that all seniors can put aside their pride as level nine soul masters and learn more about soul beasts."

"Furthermore, spirit beasts also play a very important role in the research of artificial spirit rings. In future research, I hope that everyone can get along harmoniously and make progress together."

"If the basic knowledge is not up to par, even if it is a level nine Soul Master, I will not hold back in my words."

"In a completely new field, everyone is a greenhorn, and the starting line is the same."

"It's just that everyone here has more research experience and a faster learning speed, that's all."

"As for this newly established organization, I welcome everyone to join if they wish, and I don't mind if they don't."

However, joining means taking on corresponding responsibilities, and I will draft a general charter later.

"And remember one more thing: do not harm the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. However, it doesn't matter if they are sea soul beasts or those within the Sun Moon Empire."

"I think no one wants to experience that feeling of being trapped again."

"I can tell you all clearly that artificial spirit rings are far more promising than spirit beast spirit rings."

"Although you are all now titled Douluo with nine rings, the development of artificial spirit rings will also include a matching technology to artificially increase the age of spirit rings."

"Perhaps you can break through to Super Douluo by continuing to improve your spirit rings."

"Furthermore, I offer rewards for each completed milestone, including but not limited to 100,000-year-old soul bones..."

"Friendly reminder: Don't underestimate the potential of soul beasts. There are quite a few who have exhausted their potential and can change their fate by using a 100,000-year soul bone."

Xu Yang isn't stupid; he'll definitely give plenty of sweet treats after the big stick.

Otherwise, why would anyone work under him? He can't possibly summon thousands of soldiers to follow him to the death just by flexing his muscles.

A 100,000-year-old soul bone, the technology to increase the age of soul rings, and the possibility of breaking through to Super Douluo—these were undoubtedly the best temptations for the old men in the Hall of Worship.

Sure enough, after Xu Yang put forward his conditions, many people began to consider them.

The first to speak was Jing Hongchen, who, besides Kong Deming, knew Xu Yang the most. He knew the true value of everything Xu Yang said, and the generous terms Xu Yang offered were undeniably tempting.

The second is Ye Yulin, a titled Douluo known as the Starry Sky Douluo, who has conducted in-depth research on high-altitude soul tools.

Xu Yang had discussed many interesting ideas with him.

For example, the grand idea of ​​launching a super probe soul guide device called a satellite, so that level nine fixed-position soul guide shells can be directly bombed from Mingdu to Shrek Academy.

After several theoretical verifications, Ye Yulin finally confirmed its feasibility. However, when Ye Yulin wanted to discuss the follow-up details with Xu Yang, she heard that Xu Yang had gone to work on some kind of soul beast bionic soul tool.

This infuriated him; in his view, it was utterly a waste of time and energy. However, Xu Yang's Evil Eye Tower later changed Ye Yulin's opinion of him considerably.

He still has a communication soul tool that Xu Yang made back then. Putting everything else aside, this thing is really useful within the Mingdu area.

With Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin taking the lead, more and more people joined one after another.

On the one hand, it was due to their relationship with Kong Deming, and on the other hand, it was because their own soul master cultivation had reached its limit at their age.

They spend their days at home enjoying their grandchildren. Compared to these people who once made significant contributions to the development of soul tools for the Sun Moon Empire, it's better to burn their old bones a little longer than to laze around at home and retire.

To make more contributions to the development of the empire, and at the same time pave a better path for future generations.

Everyone present was aware of Xu Yang's talent: an eleven-year-old four-ring Soul Master and a near-seventh-level Soul Master—a young man who surpassed his father in Soul Master talent and his maternal grandfather in Soul Master talent.

It is destined to suppress the entire Sun Moon Empire, and even the entire continent, in the future.

Following someone with such a bright future, you're unlikely to end up doing too badly.

Xu Yang hadn't expected that these senior members of the ancestral hall would come to accompany him in this seemingly unreliable research.

"Alright, that's all for now. Those who are interested can take a look here. I'll have Senior Di Tian escort you out later."

"The subsequent research will be conducted in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the project will be able to officially start in about six months."

"As for the commuting issue, I will help everyone solve it."

"Everyone can conduct research here during the day and go home for dinner in the evening."

Kong Deming also greeted them, indicating that they should do as Xu Yang said.

Xu Yang arranged the laboratory here partly because of Gu Yuena's requirement that she keep a close eye on Xu Yang's experimental progress.

On the other hand, it's also because it's easier to obtain materials in the Star Dou Great Forest. If they were transported to Mingdu, they would be watched by many people, both overt and covert, and would be subject to restrictions to some extent.

The titled Douluo from the Hall of Offerings dispersed, all of them filled with curiosity about this place that had long been considered a forbidden zone for humans.

Xu Yang pulled Kong Deming aside, and the grandfather and grandson began to whisper to each other.

"Ah Yang, that lady from earlier..."

"That's Gu Yuena. As for her strength, it's just as you imagine, Grandpa..."

"But now we're allies, so Grandpa, just treat her like any other girl."

Kong Deming's lips twitched. He never expected that his grandson would quietly pull off such a big job again.

"What I want to talk to you about is... the money."

"We can't just be the ones to provide this; we need to leak it to the royal family. As the richest landowner on Douluo Continent, I feel like something's missing if we don't let them drop some gold soul coins."

"Whether it's equipment research and development, employee salaries, site setup, or subsequent maintenance."

"Money is in every word."

"You don't need too much. Ten billion gold soul coins should be enough for the initial funding."

"I believe His Majesty is not a fool and can see the future of this technology."

"Besides, I have the contributions from the sealed milk bottle and the Evil Eye Tower. Getting a billion gold soul coins from him shouldn't be a problem."

"As for where to replenish it, there are so many smugglers in the Mingdu underground market, and it even seems that princes are personally involved. I think His Majesty should have quite a bit of profit."

Kong Deming kept Xu Yang's instructions in mind, but at the same time, he thought of something else.

"But what's the name of your new force?"

"Destiny!"

"Fate...?"

Kong Deming pondered these two words.
