Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 247 Infiltrating the Interior: Master's Attempt to Get Water Was All for Nothing

After the five divine envoys entered Wuhun City, apart from Oscar and Ma Hongjun, who were both gluttons, the other three had very clear objectives.

Yu Xiaogang most wanted to enter the inner city, and only then did he want to enter the Spirit Hall Academy.

Tang San is becoming increasingly interested in soul tools and wants to enter the Spirit Hall Academy.

Dugu Yan, on the other hand, has always been searching for her grandfather, secretly inquiring about everything related to the dungeon every day.

They were very confident that, apart from the three god-level powerhouses, Qian Daoliu, Poseidon, and Jerry, no one else in the entire Wuhun City posed any threat to them.

Tang San felt that the Spirit Hall had too many secrets, and it was better to learn them himself than to rely on believers to learn them secretly.

After arriving in Wuhun City, he found everything novel and interesting, feeling that Wuhun City was a completely different world from the outside world.

Tang San only knew about the Heaven Dou Empire of the past. Now that Xue Ke has become the Empress, it has been developing rapidly and is no longer the same as before.

Tang San had been hiding in the far north, a region on the edge of the empire. After the world advanced, the planet's area increased several times, making the far north even more remote.

The far north is covered in ice and snow all year round and is poor in resources. At present, the empire's main development is along the coast and inland. There is not enough manpower and resources to manage the far north. This is why Tang San and his companions were able to take over the far north by deception.

When the group arrived in Spirit City, everything seemed new and exciting. Even though Yu Xiaogang had lived in the Spirit Hall for several years, he couldn't keep up with the pace of development in Spirit City after returning.

Tang San wandered around Wuhun City alone, occasionally eavesdropping on the conversations of the people around him, from which he learned a lot.

Airport, train station, bus station, teleportation station—four long-distance travel stations—completely overturned Tang San's understanding.

Upon arriving at the airport and seeing airplanes taking off with passengers, I couldn't help but become very interested in airplanes.

They also learned that there are two types of aircraft: soul-guided aircraft and ordinary aircraft.

Soul-guided aircraft can only be piloted by Soul Masters, while ordinary aircraft can be piloted by ordinary people without Soul Power.

Both aircraft are equipped with weapon systems, making the journey very safe.

Tang San made his own hidden weapons and knew some mechanisms. He thought that airplanes could be used by ordinary people and were even equipped with weapons, which meant that airplanes were large-scale mechanical weapons, just like his hidden weapons, only more complicated and much more powerful than what he had learned in the Tang Sect in his previous life.

Afterwards, he went to the train station and saw trains, and the bus station and saw long-distance buses, which gave Tang San the feeling that these were all large mechanical weapons.

When Tang San arrived at the teleportation station, he was stunned. He heard the staff tell everyone to walk to the center of the teleportation array. A teleportation array, a formation!

Later, they learned that the teleportation station had been in public use for four years, and before that, it was only available in the inner city of the Spirit Hall.

What shocked him even more was that he heard some people call the cultivation tower a spirit gathering array, and some people call the gravity field a gravity array.

Even the reason why the floating courtyard can float is because of the anti-gravity array installed.

It turns out that the Spirit Hall didn't not have any publicly known formations, but rather that they had been using them in Spirit City for a long time, starting with the earliest training tower. If you think about it, I was still studying at the academy back then.

Tang San regretted not coming to Wuhun City sooner. Many places that others hadn't noticed were protected by arrays. If he had come earlier, he probably would have discovered them long ago. Back then, he wasn't wanted by the Wuhun Hall yet, and he might have been able to learn systematically.

No wonder. When the rumors about the Summoner class were circulating before, everyone was actively discussing it. But when the rumors about the formation were circulating, they couldn't generate any discussion. It turns out that everyone was already used to it.

In fact, many soul tools use arrays in their release mechanisms. The people in Wuhun City have been using soul tools for many years and don't care about these things at all.

This was the first time Tang San and his companions had heard of it, and they felt like they had discovered something amazing.

The more Tang San thought about it, the more horrified he felt. The Spirit Hall had laid so many traps without anyone noticing.

Then Tang San looked at the spirit ring manufacturing machine, the spirit ring upgrade device, the spirit beast contract room...

After a day of observation, there was still much to see, but it had already deeply moved Tang San. That night, Tang San returned to his residence and looked up at the starry sky, as if deep in thought.

The next day, Tang San changed his name to Tang Yin and applied for a job as a guard at the Spirit Hall Academy, successfully infiltrating the school.

At the same time, Yu Xiaogang was also trying to find a way to enter the inner city.

The people in the inner city are basically direct subordinates of the Spirit Hall, or those who have passed the entrance exams from the Spirit Hall Academy to the Research Institute. They know each other well, making it difficult for outsiders to enter.

Yu Xiaogang had been inside once before, when Jerry asked him to let him in. He tried many methods but failed, so he has been inquiring about how to enter the inner city.

When he learned that Tang San had already infiltrated the Spirit Hall Academy, he had no intention of going there anymore and spent his days researching ways to enter the inner city.

Yu Xiaogang knew that there was a library in the Elder Hall of the inner city, where the core information of the Spirit Hall was kept.

When he was young, although he rose to the position of elder, everyone in the elders' hall felt that he only achieved this through his relationship with Bibi Dong, and no one recognized his abilities.

No one else gave him any face, and he had no chance to enter the Elders' Library.

Tang San and his group had discussed that before overthrowing the Spirit Hall, they needed to obtain its important information.

The most important information about the Spirit Hall is, of course, in the Elder Hall's library.

Previously, I thought that if I couldn't get into the Elder Hall, I could go to the Spirit Hall Academy, but Tang San beat me to it.

With Tang San's talent, he learns things very quickly.

After mastering the skill, pass it on to yourself.

Going there myself would be pointless.

What troubled Yu Xiaogang even more was that Dugu Yan had learned Tang San's method and passed the exam to join the law enforcement team. He knew that Dugu Yan was looking for her grandfather. After the law enforcement team arrested people, they assigned the criminals to different places according to their crimes.

If Dugu Yan stays with the law enforcement team for a few more days, she will soon be able to find out her grandfather's whereabouts.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun need no further explanation; they have no hatred for the Spirit Hall, but stand on their side because of their friends and teachers.

Seeing that Tang San and Dugu Yan had both achieved their goals, while he stood facing the inner city gate with no way to enter, he couldn't help but feel very annoyed.

The others were busy with their own things every day, but he made no progress, which made him feel like he was a good-for-nothing again.

Yu Xiaogang really wanted to achieve something and prove himself. He had been burdened with the reputation of being a good-for-nothing for many years and wanted to use this to wash away that reputation.

Tang San and his friends are different from Yu Xiaogang. They are young and geniuses, and they can't understand someone like him who carries the label of "good-for-nothing" for his entire life.

He wanted to change himself and studied the theory of martial spirits, but in the end, the Spirit Hall released his information and dealt him a devastating blow.

Now that he has become a god, he is eager to prove himself. Without revealing his cultivation level, he chooses to study the materials of the Spirit Hall. He believes that with his own abilities, he can definitely innovate and bring new ideas to the table.

However, he was now blocked at the first step. He couldn't put aside his pride and couldn't infiltrate the Spirit Hall's Soul Master Academy like Tang San, but he also had no way to enter the inner city.

He felt that the reason why his previous theories on martial spirits were so easily refuted was because the important information was kept in the Elder Hall and he had never had the opportunity to access it.

If I had the opportunity to access the Elders' Hall's information, I could definitely do better than Jerry. Jerry was just standing on the shoulders of giants.

The Elders' Hall and Research Department of Wuhun City are located in the inner city, so Yu Xiaogang is eager to enter the inner city.

Even disregarding Bibi Dong's reasons, I still want to go in.

If Jerry knew that Yu Xiaogang wanted to enter the inner city for these reasons, he would definitely laugh.

The inner city is different now; all the buildings have been moved to the sky. Only the teleportation plaza, training ground, and park remain in the inner city.

It can be said that apart from the outer city walls, which were not demolished, there was nothing of importance inside the inner city.

Even with a teleportation array, you can't teleport anywhere without a teleportation card.

The current inner city only has two guards at the entrance, just for show, to display the majesty of the Spirit Hall.

As for the so-called Elders' Library, the materials inside have already been scanned and uploaded, and anyone with the necessary permissions can view them on their mobile phone.

There's so much raw data, and it takes up so much space. Soul guide rings used to be quite rare, but now they're incredibly common.

Qian Daoliu took a soul guide ring, put all the data into it one by one, and then put it in his home safe. He hasn't taken it out for many years.

This safe was a soul-guided safe specially made for him by Jerry, complete with defensive, location, and authentication functions. Even a god-level powerhouse couldn't open it without identification and authentication.

The highest-ranking figures in the Spirit Hall now mostly live in the floating courtyard at an altitude of nine thousand meters, which is inaccessible to ordinary people.

As for the server that stores all the data, it's not even inside Douluo Planet.

This server is quite important; it contains all the data related to Douluo Continent. It's located on the mainland and would require heavy guard. Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to target this server.

Just in case, Jerry never thought the secret of the server would remain hidden forever, so he placed the server in his yard on the moon.

To get to the moon, you first need to be strong enough, and then you also need to be able to withstand the active and violent soul power in space.

Ordinary god-level powerhouses only have a divine body at the first level, which is simply not enough to withstand it.

Even Qian Daoliu, the Sky Douluo who was known as invincible in the sky, struggled to withstand the environment of the next level after breaking through to the god level and passing through the ten-thousand-meter barrier. Not to mention the several levels that followed.

However, Jerry did set up a teleportation array in the Moon Courtyard, so it's possible to teleport directly there. The environment in the courtyard has been modified to be similar to that of Douluo Continent, but only one teleportation card was made, and it's still in Jerry's possession.

A month later, Yu Xiaogang had tried all methods but failed to infiltrate. Tang San and the others had obtained some of what they wanted. Yu Xiaogang was anxious because he hadn't accomplished anything yet, so he decided to sneak in.

At night, Yu Xiaogang secretly arrived at the entrance to the inner city of Wuhun City. There were two guards. Perhaps because it was late at night, one guard was listless, while the other was even more serious, standing there almost asleep.

Their defenses are far too lax; isn't this exactly what I wanted?

Yu Xiaogang waited a while longer, and the listless guard also began to feel sleepy and slowly closed his eyes.

When the time was right, Yu Xiaogang, dressed in black, quietly walked past them and entered the inner city.

Why didn't Yu Xiaogang fly in? To prevent the inner city from being spied on, a barrier had been set up above. Touching the barrier would be detected, so he could only enter through the main gate.

Having entered the inner city, and thinking that there might still be guards inside, Yu Xiaogang quickly hid himself. After waiting for a long time, he still didn't see anyone, which made Yu Xiaogang feel very strange.

The inner city was pitch black at night, which was completely different from what Yu Xiaogang had imagined. He had been to the inner city before, but the inner city in his memory was not like this.

The entire inner city was deserted, with not a single person in sight. If it weren't for the traces of buildings on the ground, Yu Xiaogang would have thought he had left the city.

Yu Xiaogang quickly toured the entire inner city. Apart from the city walls, which proved that this was the inner city, there was nothing else.

The inner city of the Spirit Hall has vanished!

What on earth is going on? Yu Xiaogang felt a bit overwhelmed. He had put so much effort into getting into the inner city, but there was nothing there.

Various buildings, such as the Papal Palace and the Presbyterian Palace, have disappeared.

Yu Xiaogang quickly calmed down.

This disappearance was definitely not without reason, and the fact that there were guards outside could only mean one thing: the inner city of the Spirit Hall had been relocated, quietly, without anyone outside knowing.

The guards here are just for show.

No, Yu Xiaogang has been watching the inner city entrance for a month. People are coming and going every day, and judging from their behavior, they don't seem to be acting.

So there must be some special places in the inner city. Yu Xiaogang scanned the inner city again. The only place with lights was a square, which had an unobstructed view and he hadn't noticed it before.

At first, I was worried that there might be people in the inner city, and that I would be discovered if I were exposed to the lights. But now, after looking around, there is no one in the inner city.

The only place with lights on—this place is highly suspicious.

Yu Xiaogang went straight to the square and only then did he realize that there was a formation set up on the ground; it was a teleportation array.

No wonder, now I see. After the Spirit Hall relocated, they needed to use the teleportation array to get there.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Xiaogang decided to take the plunge and walked directly onto the teleportation array.

A platform rose from the ground, with only a long, narrow gap on it and nothing else.

"Beep, please insert the teleportation card!"

A voice rang out, startling Yu Xiaogang, but he breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that it was an electronic voice.

What is a teleportation card?

Why is this teleportation array so strange? Shouldn't it be able to teleport you as soon as you step on it? Why isn't it activated?

The publicly accessible teleportation arrays have a few fixed locations, so they are not set up in such a complicated way. Each time, the staff sets the destination in advance, and then the person who needs to be teleported simply steps into the teleportation array and can be teleported directly.

The teleportation array here is set up this way because it can not only teleport you to other places, but also back home. Whether you go home or to other places is up to each person to choose.

Besides the teleportation arrays publicly displayed by the Spirit Hall, Yu Xiaogang had also seen Thor's teleportation array, which was a one-way fixed teleportation array, so there was no need to set anything up.

Therefore, this strange teleportation array is now asking me to insert a teleportation card. What exactly is a teleportation card?

Without a teleportation card, Yu Xiaogang wanted to see if he could study the teleportation array. After looking at it for a while, he shook his head. Without learning the basic symbols and rules of array setup, he couldn't understand any of this stuff.

Having spent so much time, even sneaking in, only to find I couldn't do anything, a sense of helplessness washed over me.
