Douluo Continent: The Legend of the Dragon King? No, the Legend of the Six Kings!

It's a dark and windy night; tonight is likely to be very lively.

Despite its remote location, this remote city of the Sun Moon Empire has a much better level of development in soul tools and economy than the place where the Body Sect is located. It can be said that soul tools really enable a country to progress very quickly.

The Sect Master of the Body Sect, Poison Undying, brought all the elders of the Body Sect, including Lin Rui, here. Today, they were going to do their old business here: dig tunnels, take away soul tools, and then sell them. This was the Body Sect's old business.

"Given this location, we should be able to dig to our destination by tomorrow morning."

After thoroughly confirming the map in his hand, Du Bu Si turned to the elders before him and said, "Then let's begin!"

Upon hearing this, the elders immediately began to work with their tools. They were not afraid of this kind of physical work at all, as they possessed their own martial souls and even had a natural advantage.

You could even say that digging tunnels is an art!

At this moment, Du Busi walked up to Lin Rui and asked curiously, "Rui, I heard you're very interested in soul tools?"

Although Du Busi looks down on soul tools, if his precious disciple from the sect likes them, he can take a few more with him later, or if Arui takes a fancy to them, he can take them all.

Lin Rui understood that this was a good opportunity to change the teacher's opinion on soul tools, so he immediately asked, "Teacher, what do you think a soul tool is?"

"Unorthodox methods are far inferior to one's own martial spirit."

Without a second thought, Du Bu Si gave his evaluation. His thoughts were actually similar to those guys from Shrek Academy, or perhaps the Three Kingdoms people looked down on soul tools and thought that martial souls were the mainstream.

During the war a thousand years ago, Shrek Academy turned the tide, which further proved that martial spirits are the mainstream, and soul tools will be eliminated like the hidden weapons of the Tang Sect!

"Teacher, what if I think that soul tools will be the mainstream in the future?" Lin Rui directly stated his thoughts. The development of soul tools ten thousand years from now is terrifying. If the Body Sect wants to develop in the future, it must keep up with the pace of soul tools.

Upon hearing this, Poison Immortal looked intently at his precious disciple who had spoken those words. Seeing his determined gaze, he wanted to object, but considering his disciple's strength and talent, as well as his quick wit despite his laziness, he ultimately swallowed his words.

"Tell me your thoughts." Poison Undying chose to patiently listen to his apprentice's opinion.

"Teacher, as a level 98 Title Douluo, you may be far behind Limit Douluo, but you might as well think about the strength you have to fight Limit Douluo with just using a soul tool." Lin Rui began to explain. He couldn't give his teacher the immortal herb yet, so he would let his teacher get used to the soul tool first.

"Think about that elder of the Sun Moon Empire. Despite the huge difference in their levels, he achieved so many amazing victories using a soul tool. Teacher, why don't you give it a try?"

After hearing Lin Rui's words, Du Busi couldn't help but say, "Wouldn't the teacher be laughed out of the room for using a soul tool when he's a level 98 Title Douluo?"

"Teacher, you are mistaken."

Lin Rui was immediately displeased upon hearing this and retorted, "Teacher, we are bandits from the Body Sect! How can we be as concerned with face as Shrek Academy?"

Lin Rui really didn't understand why so many people in Douluo Continent cared about face. What good was face? If you were strong, people would naturally give you face.

Even though Poison Undying is very powerful now, so what? He's still not a Limit Douluo, and he'll always be inferior to others. Why not join the Soul Tool family and start playing with a wheelchair?

The thought of the strongest martial soul body, plus the soul tool, filled Lin Rui with immense excitement.

It's true what they say: those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly.

Lin Rui's words were like opening up the Ren and Du meridians of Du Bu Si.

At this moment, Poison Undying stroked his chin, pondering what his precious disciple had just said. "That's right, the Body Sect isn't as concerned about face as that damned Shrek Academy."

Why should I be so rigid?

Only when you are powerful can you have face.

Seeing his teacher deep in thought, Lin Rui nodded in satisfaction. As long as the teacher listened, that was fine; what he had just said was a prelude to what was to come.

Lin Rui suspected that Tang Hao's dislike of soul tools in the original story might be more due to the influence of Tang San, the Sea God.

Thinking about it, that guy set up a restriction on Wang Dong, showing extreme disgust for soul tools, but an extreme love for hidden weapons, which is quite morbid.

"Wang Dong is truly skilled at being born into this family, having such a father." Lin Rui felt sorrow for Wang Dong's fate.

……

While the Body Sect is digging tunnels, in the Sun Moon Empire, an unexpected person has appeared in this remote city.

Those were Kong Deming, the worshipper of the Sun Moon Empire, and his personal disciple Lin Fan. The appearance of these two was probably something the Body Sect had not expected.

As for why the two of them were here, it was naturally because Lin Rui told Lin Fan that these two little foxes had a very immature idea.

"Lin Fan, are you well-informed?" Kong Deming asked his disciple curiously.

The higher-ups of the Sun Moon Empire were aware that the Body Sect liked to do this kind of thing, but when they investigated and found that these guys were selling outdated soul tools, they were too lazy to investigate further. As long as it didn't threaten the Sun Moon Empire, they basically turned a blind eye. In fact, they just didn't want to provoke Poison Undying.

Kong Deming learned about this from Lin Fan today, and naturally he wanted to do something about it. However, he was a little puzzled as to how Lin Fan knew about such a thing.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "Teacher, to be honest, my younger brother is the personal disciple of the Sect Master of the Body Sect. We made contact with him a few days ago through our martial soul bloodline."

Indeed, he and Lin Rui talked a lot and thought it would be better to have the Sun Moon Empire and the Body Sect cooperate. As for the cooperation, naturally the two of them would act as a bridge between the two parties.

"What?!" Kong Deming's mouth dropped open in shock. "Why didn't you tell me about something so important?"

"Teacher, mainly because I thought my younger brother was already dead."

Lin Rui: "6~"

Kong Deming nodded upon hearing this reason, acknowledging that such things were indeed common, but still offered his opinion: "Even with your brother involved, this cooperation will likely be difficult. That Du Bu Si is an old-fashioned rigid man who completely looks down on our Sun Moon Empire's soul tools, making cooperation very challenging."

The original Three Kingdoms held an extremely negative view of soul tools. They believed that martial spirits were the mainstream, and soul tools were nothing more than so-called hidden weapons that would eventually be eliminated by the times.

Even though his beloved disciple's younger brother is the sect master's personal disciple, he probably still has a great prejudice against soul tools.

"Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain that is difficult to overcome, Lin Fan," Kong Deming kindly reminded him, to prevent his disciple from being hurt later.

Lin Fan smiled confidently and said, "Teacher, I think this can work!"

With him and Lin Rui present, an alliance between the Body Sect and the Sun Moon Empire is inevitable.
