Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 350 Xu Jiujiu was played with to death.

The double rings of gold and silver symbolize the power of the sun and moon.

This is the masterpiece of Ye Yulin, a ninth-level Soul Master and Starry Sky Douluo—the Sun and Moon Divine Needle!

Capable of ascending to a height of several thousand meters and conducting precise strikes within a radius of thirty kilometers, the attack power of a single Sun and Moon Needle is enough to severely injure or even kill a Title Douluo!

In terms of destructive power, this thing's single-target output even surpasses that of a level 8 fixed-position soul-guided cannon!

The moment the gold and silver rings appeared, a surge of soul power, even more intense and dangerous than an eighth-level fixed-position soul-guided cannonball, exerted its lingering killing intent and pressed down on Xu Jiujiu and Manyi once again.

This is the unique charm of soul tools; every soul tool with strong destructive power can make a soul master feel an instinctive threat!

Xu Jiujiu felt a chill run down her spine, her heart pounded, her eyes glazed over, and she felt dizzy as she stared blankly at Lin Yun.

She felt like she was broken.

Each level-nine soul tool is a testament to the strength of a level-nine soul master, and it is almost impossible for them to be handed over to outsiders. Even for Xu Jiujiu, this was the first time she had come into such close contact with a level-nine soul tool.

Her own excitement, coupled with the pressure and threat brought by the level nine soul tool, caused her heart to beat faster involuntarily, and then she developed a kind of... uh, what was it called again?

Subjectively, she believed that her reactions were due to these soul tools, but subconsciously, she believed that her reactions were due to Lin Yun.

This time, Lin Yun didn't really try any dog ​​training tactics or have any intention of brainwashing anyone for a long time. He simply felt that having so many big toys and not showing them off would leave him with a sense of emptiness and boredom.

Xu Jiujiu's status was high enough, and her face was beautiful enough. The excitement and admiration of a beautiful woman can always bring joy to people.

As for why he chose the Sun and Moon Needle out of all the level nine soul tools, it's simple: he just liked it and thought it was cool.

If you ask why he dared to openly show it off in front of Xu Jiujiu right after buying it for free from the Sun Moon Empire's armory, without fear of it being leaked and discovered by the Sun Moon Empire, thus causing trouble for himself?

There's absolutely no need to worry about it.

Princess Xu Jiujiu of an empire is not that stupid. The soul tools that Lin Yun took out are all for trade with her Star Luo Empire. In other words, as long as the transaction goes smoothly, these soul tools will eventually belong to their Star Luo Empire. She would be out of her mind to say that.

Why tell anyone?

Not only would offending Lin Yun potentially cause the deal to fail, but even if this action didn't offend Lin Yun, it would still attract the attention of the two great empires, Tianhun and Douling.

Do you create competitors for yourself?

She acted this way because she thought the Star Luo Empire had too much money. Not only would she not leak the secret, she would actively keep it a secret, even going so far as to hunt down any third party who might know about the deal.

Between the interests of the Star Luo Empire and the survival of the nation, Xu Jiujiu will make the most rational decision. She is not a fairy like Bibi Dong or Gu Yuena who defies the heavens. Your giving birth to me and raising me does not mean I have to repay you.

I can even betray you.

This is also the reason why Lin Yun made a deal with Xu Jiujiu. The Star Luo Empire is undoubtedly the most suitable partner. Unlike the Dou Ling Empire, which is just sitting around doing nothing, it is not like the Tian Hun Empire, which has the Body Sect behind it and has its own strength.

They are desperate, they are cornered, that's when they have weaknesses, and that's when they can make a profit.

Even... taking this princess, who is quite boring but also intelligent and beautiful, into the harem would be a good choice? Hmm, we'll talk about that later.

Xu Jiujiu left, ignoring even the participating team members from Xingluo Royal Academy who were still competing in Mingdu, letting them play freely and do whatever they wanted.

With Shrek Academy in front, Body Sect behind, Lin Yun eyeing them from the left, and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy eager to try their luck from the right, the Star Luo Royal Academy, surrounded by enemies, is in a real predicament. Whether they can even make it into the top four, no, whether they can even break into the top eight is a question.

Why even bother paying attention to this kind of competition?

No matter how you look at it, the matter of the soul tool is more important!

So she left without stopping, having Manyi take her straight to the Star Luo Empire. She only felt at ease after personally speaking with Xu Jiawei about this. After all, this wasn't the kind of trinket Huo Yuhao brought out in the original story. While the Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon could play a huge role in low- to mid-level battlefields, this world was ultimately dominated by high-level combat power players.

To put it bluntly, no matter how many Zhuge crossbows you have, I can still destroy your entire city by throwing a level 8 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell at your face from a super long distance. So what if it's the best?

If one shot isn't enough, then two; if two aren't enough, then five. As long as this deal goes through, the Star Luo Empire, with ninety-nine level-eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells in its pocket, can stand tall and proud.

So what if your Heavenly Soul Empire has the Body Sect in charge? I'll just blow you up!

Art, oh art!

Not to mention the unknown number of high-level soul tools, which depend entirely on one's sincerity. Xu Jiujiu didn't think that just because Lin Yun took out a Sun and Moon Divine Needle, he really only had one Sun and Moon Divine Needle; he definitely had quite a few other level eight and nine soul tools as well.

Holy crap, what kind of monster is this?

Even though she had already made up her mind never to explore the secrets behind these soul tools, she was still a little hesitant.

It would be strange if someone were to entrust this kind of transaction to someone else.

Only yourself is truly reliable!

In Xingluo City, Xu Jiujiu had returned to the palace and held a secret meeting with the reigning emperor, Xu Jiawei. After the meeting, Xu Jiawei began to try his best to collect funds from the Xingluo Empire, including not only gold soul coins, but also rare and precious materials, ancient and mysterious items, and unknown strange props.

Lin Yun had said that if there wasn't enough working capital, rare treasures could be used as a substitute, and if he was satisfied, the rare treasures could be used to offset more cash.

Xu Jiawei is going all in this time!

He was one of the few emperors in the Star Luo Empire with a long-term vision, as can be seen from the original work. If the era had not given him so little time, he might have even led the Star Luo Empire to catch up with the Sun Moon Empire.

Even though Xu Jiujiu's mind was normal for a long time, it's possible that her elder brother, the emperor, had influenced her.

As the eldest brother, Xu Jiawei played a crucial role in setting a good example for Xu Jiujiu from childhood to adulthood.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Lin Yun.

He just needed to wait for the Star Luo Empire to send the money, and then let them use the soul tools they bought to kill each other.
