Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 207 Xu Jiawei, on the verge of tears

Was Xu Jiawei's plan perfect?

It's not perfect, but it's definitely quite effective.

By offering an irresistible item for auction to the Sun Moon Empire, they could not only amass a large number of soul tools, but also use this opportunity to issue bounties on the black market and stir up trouble within the Sun Moon Empire.

In the original work, Xu Jiawei's plan, while not necessarily delaying the Sun Moon Empire's advance into war, certainly greatly weakened the Sun Moon Empire's national strength.

The Mingde Hall was attacked by the Body Sect, resulting in the casualties of a large number of high-level soul masters, and the Mingde Hall headquarters also lost a large number of soul tools.

These are all things that require time and resources to rebuild.

An even greater blow was the loss of the Snow Empress embryo and Experiment No. 1, the ten-meter-tall soul-guided robot, which embodied countless efforts of the Sun Moon Empire and was a true crystallization of soul-guided technology.

Without this thing, it would be a pipe dream for Huo Yuhao and Xuan Ziwen to create the prototype of the Battle Armor - the Ice Extreme War God Armor.

Although the Star Luo Empire did not gain much benefit from this, only obtaining some resources and soul tools, Xu Jiawei's plan was undoubtedly successful.

But now, no matter how upset Xu Jiawei is, he can only cut off the follow-up plans.

The faction that purchased the Glazed Jade Tea is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, which originally belonged to the Douluo Three Kingdoms and has a history of ten thousand years.

Naturally, they are on the side of Douluo Three Kingdoms.

The Star Luo Empire can issue bounties on the black market and mobilize Soul Masters to cause trouble for Mingde Hall because Star Luo and Sun Moon are inherently hostile forces. No matter how dirty Xu Jiawei's actions are, as long as they are not made public, the Sun Moon Empire can only swallow its anger and accept it.

In the original work, Jing Hongchen had anticipated the possible actions of the Star Luo Empire and was not greatly surprised.

Because all of this is normal, it is reasonable for hostile forces to use any means necessary.

At most, Jing Hongchen didn't expect the Body Sect's tunnel-digging skills to be so proficient.

But if the target were changed to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, would Xu Jiawei still need to do this?

Is it that attacking the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will cause losses to the Sun Moon Empire, or that attacking the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will stop the war for the Sun Moon Empire?

That's completely unrealistic!

Even if something isn't done openly, everyone will turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it. But as forces from the same Douluo Three Kingdoms, you made me spend a lot of money to buy your immortal herbs, and then you turned around and treated me like a sucker, sending people to attack me.

From both an emotional and rational standpoint, the Star Luo Empire is untenable. If he dares to do this, even if the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School runs to the Sun Moon Empire in the next second, no one will accuse them of treason.

Xu Jiawei is truly suffering in silence this time.

If he had known things would turn out this way, he would have preferred to give the Glazed Jade Tea to his sister to consume for a long time!

It's important to know that the Glazed Jade Tea has a tremendous effect on Star Crown Martial Souls. Even if the Glazed Jade Tea isn't a Celestial Herb, it can transform a Star Crown Soul Master into a top-tier genius.

The celestial herb-grade Glazed Jade Tea could absolutely transform Xu Jiujiu into a prodigy whose talent rivals that of Ma Xiaotao.

Even if it doesn't evolve into the ultimate attribute, it can at least allow the Star Crown Martial Soul to reach the quality of a super Martial Soul, and may even evolve into the Star Crown, the legendary Star Crown of the Star Crown Sect.

As for Gold Soul Coins?

That thing is utterly useless! The Star Luo Empire isn't short of money; resources are the most important thing!

Now, recalling the longing and reluctance in his eyes as he gazed at the immortal herb for a long time after the auction of Liuli Yuming, Xu Jiawei felt incredibly guilty.

I'd probably slap myself twice if I woke up in the middle of the night. I was so careless!

Each Glazed Jade Tea requires a great deal of time to cultivate. The Star Crown Sect has cultivated Glazed Jade Tea for tens of thousands of years, but only twice has a Glazed Jade Tea been cultivated to the level of a celestial herb.

One instance was ten thousand years ago, hundreds of years after the original Shrek Seven Devils ascended to the God Realm, when the first immortal herb, the Glazed Jade Tea, was successfully cultivated.

It was only after the sect leader of the Star Crown Sect in that era consumed it that the foundation was laid for the Star Crown Sect to replace the White Tiger Family and become the Star Luo Royal Family in the future.

The second time was not long ago.

The celestial herbs are a marvel of nature, and only one can appear in an era on the Douluo Continent. Xu Jiawei was clearly unaware of this.

The Glazed Jade Tea that the Star Crown Sect successfully cultivated ten thousand years ago was because Tang San plucked the Glazed Jade Tea from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and the Glazed Jade Tea, which was already on the verge of advancement, was completely upgraded to a divine herb.

However, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye has an amplifying effect on plant growth. Before the Star Crown Sect's Glazed Jade Tea had fully grown, the Glazed Jade Tea in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye had already recovered. This is why they have not been able to cultivate a second Immortal-grade Glazed Jade Tea in ten thousand years.

Not long ago, Lin Yun plucked the Glazed Jade Tea from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well again, and naturally, the Star Crown Sect's plant also advanced in rank.

All of this has to be considered a coincidence.

Xu Jiawei originally thought that if they could cultivate the first plant, they could then cultivate the second one. However, since they had already cultivated the second Immortal Grade Glazed Jade Tea Plant, it was obviously not impossible to cultivate the third one.

That's why he used his "long-term vision" to try to delay the situation with this Glazed Jade Tea and find a new way out for the Star Luo Empire.

It's just a pity that Lin Yun brought Shrek Academy's only rich girl to this year's competition.

For a fleeting moment, Xu Jiawei really wanted to snatch that Glazed Jade Tea back, even at the risk of being scorned by the entire continent, he wanted Xu Jiujiu to be able to consume the immortal herb and undergo a complete transformation.

But in the end, he gave up.

He was willing to offer up this Glazed Jade Tea to find a way out for the Star Luo Empire, so naturally he wouldn't let the Star Luo Empire fall into an unjust situation and be isolated and cursed by the entire continent because of this Glazed Jade Tea.

Passing on traditions is the most important thing.

"Brother, I'm so sorry..."

The auction of top-quality items came to an end, and the round of 16 elimination matches began as scheduled the day after the auction.

The round of 16 is even more brutal than the round-robin stage. In the round-robin stage, you have at least a few more chances, and even if you lose one or two games, you won't be eliminated immediately. But in the round of 16 and beyond, losing just one game means you're out.

Shrek Academy, with a perfect record of seven wins in the knockout stage, deservedly became the number one seed team among the top sixteen teams.

And their opponent in the round of 16.

They're old acquaintances...

Zhengtian Academy Team.

When the draw results came out, Lin Yun could see that everyone in the Zheng Tian team had turned green, and their fighting spirit had instantly plummeted.

How do I play?

There's no way to win!
