Douluo Continent: A Man of Unparalleled Talent and Heaven-Defying Comprehension

Chapter 224 Shrek's Decline (Please Subscribe!!!)

Su Yu has already pushed the limits of his ability to protect the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Regardless of what could happen to Da Ming and Er Ming, at least the two of them couldn't enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well unharmed.

Furthermore, they would also face the entanglement of the deadly poison of the Nine-Petaled Jade Flower.

Given their current state in Douluo Continent, the Sea God might not be able to heal them.

Even if they are cured, the God of Destruction will definitely use this opportunity to take away Da Ming and Er Ming.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

For Su Yu, the greatest significance of this arrangement was to announce to the outside world that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well belonged to him and to Mingde Hall.

If Da Ming and Er Ming dare to force their way into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and with two groups of Soul Masters stationed there, and with Su Yu's many methods, they manage to force their way in and take the immortal herb, then one day Su Yu could force his way into the Clear Sky Sect, or even into Shrek Academy, and steal something else.

Therefore, the act of asserting sovereignty still has significance.

As long as Da Ming and Er Ming don't go so far as to completely disregard the legacy of the Haotian Sect.

Although they have no connection with the Clear Sky Sect, Tang San is a member of the Clear Sky Sect, as are Wang Dong and Tang Zhen.

It seems that the purpose of obtaining the immortal herb was for these two people, and if obtaining the immortal herb led to the destruction of the Haotian Sect, these two people would become sinners against the Haotian Sect.

Shrek City.

three days later.

Su Yu arrived at Shrek City, but his heart remained unmoved as he gazed upon the enormous and magnificent city.

I had been to Shrek City once before.

It can be said that Shrek City is even more impressive than Mingdu.

It's not that Shrek City is larger or more advanced than Mingdu, but rather that Shrek City itself is located outside the Star Dou Great Forest, serving as the front line against the beast tides, and has indeed experienced many beast tides.

After being ravaged by the beast tide, the walls of Shrek City were inexplicably imbued with a fierce aura.

Of course, it could also be a psychological effect.

Su Yu didn't dwell on it. He entered Shrek City and found Wanhu Tower.

"Old Qian."

"Hey, Brother Su, what brings you to Shrek City?"

Upon seeing Su Yu, Qian Tong immediately looked around before stealthily leading Su Yu into a secret room.

"Brother, what brings you to Shrek City?" he asked softly, as if afraid of being discovered.

Su Yu was speechless.

As for...

Well, logically speaking, now that I've come to Shrek City, I might indeed be targeted by Shrek Academy.

However, this time it's not a normal situation.

Su Yu didn't explain too much to Qian Tong and started talking about his serious business.

"How's it going? Has Qian Duoduo softened his stance recently?"

Back then, Qian Duoduo was able to break through to become a level nine soul master because he obtained level nine soul guidance technology from Mingde Hall through Qian Tong, which enabled him to complete the breakthrough in one fell swoop.

After the Soul Battle Tournament, he was not defeated by Mingde Hall, but instead, he and Xuanzi and the others accidentally entered Qiankun Wenqing Valley.

Logically speaking, the Valley of Love and Destiny should not accept the elderly or those who have been single for thousands of years, but among the people who have entered the Valley of Love and Destiny this time, almost none of them meet the requirements.

Poseidon needed to use his power to arm them as much as possible, which naturally included everyone in the assessment scope.

Being single and without a partner became a reason for them to pass each test, which was tantamount to openly offering them benefits.

In the Valley of Love and Inquiry, Qian Duoduo received a detailed inheritance of the Soul Guidance Technique.

However, this inheritance remains at the level of Mingde Hall five years ago, that is, before Su Yu's rune system was born.

Even so, this reward is still quite unbalanced.

This is also a key reason why the God of Destruction was able to seize control of the central authority of the God Realm from the Sea God so quickly after agreeing to Su Yu's request.

There was no way around it; the God of Destruction was truly enraged. The Sea God's actions also provided the God of Destruction with a sufficient excuse to forcibly strip him of his management authority over the central authority of the divine realm.

However, the God of Destruction did not seize control of the central authority of the divine realm. Instead, there was a balance between the two sides, with neither retaining control over the central authority.

"Did they inherit a large number of soul tools?"

Su Yu listened to what Qian Tong said with a sense of helplessness.

He guessed where Qian Duoduo got the inheritance from.

However, it is precisely for this reason that he feels helpless.

This is the influence of the gods on the Douluo Continent.

Once gods can exert influence on the lower realms without restraint, the development of the lower realms will become completely stagnant.

The Sun Moon Empire had developed soul guidance technology for many years and implemented strict technological blockades, yet it still couldn't withstand a single test from the gods.

All I can say is that this reward is a bit excessive.

Fortunately, what we got was only technology from five years ago, and that was all.

Given Shrek's current resources, it is also impossible for them to fully digest these technologies.

Therefore, the Sun and Moon Empire does not need to worry too much about this aspect.

Overall, this reward is more like a protection for Shrek Academy, ensuring that Shrek Academy doesn't fall behind in its future development.

There's a sense that he has accepted the current trend of the Sun Moon Empire's unification and the fact that all his previous plans have come to nothing, and now he's focused on maintaining his position as the largest representative force in the Douluo Continent.

"Even the God of War Douluo couldn't change Qian Duoduo's attitude?" Su Yu asked.

Qian Tongdao: "It works. After all, my uncle still has feelings for Martial God Douluo."

Su Yu's expression was somewhat strange.

However, he did not interrupt Qian Tong.

Qian Duoduo still has feelings for Martial God Douluo.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu became inexplicably curious about how Qian Duoduo had passed through the Qiankun Asking Love Valley.

"My uncle is probably still struggling with this, but he went into seclusion recently. It seems he has reached a certain level in his research on soul tools, and his long-standing inner conflict has been resolved, giving him the opportunity to break through to Super Douluo."

Qian Tong knows quite a lot.

Qian Duoduo is about to break through to Super Douluo!

"Once he breaks through to Super Douluo, given the current importance of the Soul Guidance System, he might have a chance to gain more influence in the Sea God Pavilion."

To gain more say, Qian Duoduo's attitude becomes crucial.

Even if we don't ask Shrek Academy to join the Sun Moon Empire, nor do we ask them to betray the Douluo Three Kingdoms, it might still be possible if they simply give up resistance.

At least, it's still possible for Qian Duoduo to make this suggestion.

"Well, the main goal next is to get Qian Duoduo's attitude to become neutral."

Shrek Academy ultimately boasts multiple Super Douluo, and its soul tool technology is rapidly developing. Although they cannot develop their battle armor, and even if they analyze the technology of level nine fixed-position soul cannons, they will be unable to manufacture them due to the lack of rare metals. Nevertheless, this will still affect the progress of the Sun Moon Empire.

The more losses occur during the unification process, the more time Su Yu will need to accumulate if he wants to devour the Abyss in reverse or lead the Douluo Continent to expand its territory in the future.

Things are different now than before.

With the spread of universal cultivation techniques and the potential for a major overhaul of the cultivation system in the Soul Master world, the pace of progress for both Soul Masters and Soul Master Instructors will be unprecedented in this special era.

In particular, it coincided with the pivotal moment of the unification of the Douluo Continent.

Su Yu even planned to unify the other two continents on Douluo Star while simultaneously unifying the entire planet, and even to complete the survey of the entire Douluo Star, bringing it completely under the rule of the Federation.

This will be an unprecedented trend!

Sacrificing even 10,000 more Soul Masters would be a tremendous loss.

After talking with Qian Tong, Su Yu left Wanhu Building and headed towards Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao and his three companions arrived in Shrek City a few days ago and have settled in at Shrek Academy.

Upon arriving at the gates of Shrek Academy, a group of people were already waiting.

The group consisted of Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Bai Feng, along with Xuan Ziwen, the team leader, five members of Mingde Hall, and two elders of the Sea God Pavilion, Xuanzi and Elder Song.

Xuanzi is still only an acting head of the Sea God Pavilion, not the real head.

"Brother Yu."

"teacher."

"Su Yu".

Su Yu nodded, not catching up with Huo Yuhao and the others for the time being, and looked at Xuanzi.

"Now that all five of us are here, we should be able to enter the Sea God Pavilion to cultivate, right?"

Huo Yuhao and the other three had been waiting for Su Yu to arrive so they could enter the Sea God Pavilion together to cultivate.

Xuanzi gave a cold snort, his face showing no kindness.

"Let's go," Old Song said, though there was a hint of reluctance in his voice.

Mingde Hall released many geniuses from Shrek Academy's inner court.

They weren't missing any limbs or crippled, but more than a year of imprisonment undeniably damaged the talents of these geniuses.

Most importantly, Shrek Academy completed its deal with Mingde Hall, while other factions did not.

This has created a rift between Shrek Academy and other factions.

For example, the geniuses of the Proud Sword Sect, the Fighting Spirit Royal Academy, and the Heavenly Soul Royal Academy have not been released by the Sun Moon Empire.

Before Shrek Academy attempted to send people to Mingdu and Mingde Hall to negotiate a year ago, Shrek Academy and these forces were planning to gather powerful individuals to bypass the Sun Moon Empire and create chaos within its borders, in order to force the Sun Moon Empire to release their geniuses.

However, Shrek then made a deal with Mingde Hall on his own, redeeming his own genius.

Although it was delayed by a year, it's still much better than the situation where the geniuses from other forces are currently missing and their fates are unknown.

This led to a deterioration in the relationship between Shrek and these forces.

Of course, a year has passed, and most of these forces have ceased to exist. With the Tianhun Empire and Douling Empire being occupied by the Sun Moon Empire, they have completely disappeared from the Douluo Continent.

If even a few compromises are made and the disciples are released, joining the Sun Moon Empire will actually put considerable pressure on the current Star Luo Empire.

There is currently a ceasefire.

Friction has never ceased, whether in the Mingdou Mountains or along the eastern borders of the Star Luo Empire, but the offensive of the Sun Moon Empire has undoubtedly eased.

This state is known as a truce.

The Sun Moon Empire is assimilating and integrating the forces within the territories of the Heavenly Soul and Fighting Spirit Empires, and is spreading the technology of soul guides.

Although it has only been four months, the people of both empires have already gained a very high level of recognition for the Sun and Moon Empire.

The idea of ​​restoring the country has been completely quelled among the common people.

Furthermore, the Sun Moon Empire recruited soldiers within the former Heavenly Soul Battle Spirit territory, beginning the cultivation of new forces.

Mingde Hall established a branch in Tiandou City and also set up subordinate Soul Master Academyes. It took over the various academies originally located in the two empires, coordinated resources, and transformed them into ten Soul Master Academyes under the jurisdiction of Mingde Hall.

The four-month truce is actually the enrollment season.

It's also graduation season, a time to gather together the many talented individuals who have already grown up in various colleges and universities.

It can be said that these four months were a perfect process for the Sun and Moon Empire to digest the results of the war.

Everything was going smoothly for the Sun Moon Empire, but things were not going well for Shrek Academy.

It's pitiful that Shrek Academy, once the top academy on the continent, is experiencing a dismal enrollment situation this year.

This is why Xuanzi Song Lao's attitude and expression were both very unpleasant.

The geniuses who originally belonged to the Heavenly Soul and Fighting Spirit Empires were attracted to the ten Soul Master Academies affiliated with Mingde Hall, and the geniuses within the Star Luo Empire also began to leave less often.

The Star Luo Empire's royal family was disappointed with Shrek Academy. Without official support, their student body suffered a major setback.

The Star Luo Empire is on the verge of collapse, facing imminent attack. What will become of the various sects after its fall? Only by becoming strong can they protect themselves. At the very least, if they don't fiercely resist after the empire's demise, they can preserve their sect's legacy and have a foundation for future resurgence. With the advent of the Battle Armor Era and the Soul Spirit cultivation system replacing the traditional Soul Master cultivation system, sects must actively adapt to this changing tide to preserve their lineage. Therefore, the major sects have begun recruiting disciples in large numbers, further absorbing geniuses, and Shrek Academy's recruitment has suffered a second blow.

Finally, the ambiguous relationship between Mingde Hall and Shrek Academy caused those ignorant geniuses who rose from the bottom to be deeply disappointed in Shrek Academy and give up the idea of ​​joining it. This was the third blow.

The commoner genius has a sense of national righteousness in his heart and has been brainwashed to a certain extent, so he is hostile to the Sun Moon Empire and will naturally have a resistant mentality towards Shrek Academy.

Shrek Academy, once revered by Soul Masters, has now fallen into this predicament.

Sad, sigh.

However, Shrek is Shrek after all.

With the Golden Ancient Tree and a rich heritage, their status and strength are undeniable, at least for now.

Su Yu entered Shrek Academy.

The outer courtyard presented a desolate scene.

Shrek Academy's outer courtyard was originally built to facilitate the advancement of geniuses from various forces in the Douluo Three Kingdoms. Now that the walls have crumbled and everyone is pushing them down, Shrek Academy's former prosperity has instantly declined.

This is a false prosperity.

The outer courtyard served as a gilded arena, giving Shrek a false sense of prosperity. Only after this false prosperity was shattered by unforeseen events did such a stark contrast emerge.

Soon, the group entered the inner courtyard.

The overwhelming surge of vital energy invigorated Su Yu and the others.

On the shore of Poseidon Lake, one can clearly see the ancient tree that reaches the sky, located on a small island in the center of the lake.

Su Yu glanced around and saw that the huge golden ancient tree was surrounded by a rich and mysterious aura.

"The rules governing the operation around the ancient golden tree are now much clearer."
