Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

Ye Yulin was slightly taken aback, then smiled wryly:

"Master Kong has a good memory. I was only thirteen years old then, and it was my first time trying a flying soul tool. I almost fell to my death. If it weren't for your timely intervention, I probably wouldn't be where I am today."

“Meng Kai,” Kong Deming asked again, “when did you discover that your sword spirit could be integrated into a soul tool?”

Liao Mengkai replied respectfully, "Master Kong, I discovered it by accident when I was eighteen years old and trying to make a carving knife. You were right beside me at the time."

Kong Deming nodded and said nothing more.

In fact, almost all the level nine soul masters in the Sun Moon Empire were Kong Deming's disciples and former subordinates.

It can be said that without Kong Deming, the Sun Moon Empire would not have achieved its current glory in soul guidance technology.

Even though they have all achieved their own successes, they are still as uneasy as first-year students in front of Kong Deming.

They didn't know why Kong Deming had gathered them here at this time.

There may be some speculation, but no one dares to say it aloud.

Of course, not everyone wants to come.

Xu Tianran's years of persistent efforts to win him over have certainly not been without results.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood; Kong Deming could not possibly provide every level-nine soul master with everything they needed.

Moreover, the huge losses caused by the several reforms he has promoted in recent years have truly pained some people.

Old favors can turn into enmity over a single benefit.

However, as level nine soul masters, they are naturally not blind or deaf.

Everyone saw Kong Tianxu's performance in the competition today, and even those who didn't see it should know from the shouts on the street.

They didn't care much about the result of fighting a level 98 Super Douluo, since it was a battle at the level of martial soul, and had nothing to do with soul tools.

An eighteen-year-old level nine soul master?

Sorry, I'm honored by my grandson's status, it's nothing to be ashamed of.

Kong Deming finished carving the simplest and most basic level one energy-gathering soul-guiding core array in his hand, held it in his hand, blew on it gently, and then revealed a satisfied smile.

After all that, you just wanted to see this?

Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer.

A highly capable middle-aged soul master stepped forward and tentatively asked:

"Master Kong...?"

Kong Deming raised his hand and turned to look at everyone. His face showed an extremely sincere expression, like a kind elder earnestly advising his juniors not to go astray.

"After decades of working together, I hope you will grant me one request."

Everyone looked at each other.

A glint flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged soul master, who immediately stepped forward and said:

"As long as it does not violate His Highness the Regent's teachings, Master Kong, please feel free to speak."

Kong Deming gently stroked the simple, even rudimentary, core magic array in his hand.

"I hope that no matter what happens tomorrow, you will not take any action."

The middle-aged soul master raised an eyebrow, about to speak again.

next moment--

Kong Deming threw the level-one energy-gathering core array into the air.

A layer of hazy moonlight descended.

The seemingly fragile energy-gathering core array suddenly sprouted strands of indescribable, wondrous light. These rays, like living things, moved, intertwined, and entwined in the air, eventually transforming into a massive light shield.

That is……

Only the core magic array, only the martial spirit.

However, it demonstrated the full power of a soul tool.

Level 10 Soul Tool!

A silver moon divine light shield descended from the sky, enveloping everyone within it!

The hazy, sacred light shimmered with silvery moonlight, seemingly echoing the bright moon in the sky.

"I will follow the teachings of Master Confucius!"

Led by the middle-aged soul master who spoke first, all the once arrogant figures bowed down.

Level 10 Soul Master.

For all Soul Masters, it is an unparalleled path. A height they could never reach in their entire lives. A peak they could only look up to in their dreams.

They could only obey; they had no way to disobey.

Okay, actually it's because their fists are bigger, so it's not shameful.

The weaknesses of high-level Soul Masters are nothing more than this.

Kong Tianxu, your grandfather is still your grandfather, but your grandson is still no good.

Right now, I wonder how many people are secretly complaining.

Kong Deming opened the door and looked out the window.

The moonlight shone down, complementing the silvery moonlight shield. The shield echoed the bright moon above his head, as if the entire sky was under his control.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Power is everything.

……

Mingyue Hotel, Villa No. 1.

Kong Tianxu gently kissed Cain's forehead and tucked her in.

He looked at Cain's sleeping face, a slight smile playing on his lips. He casually draped a single garment over Cain's naked, muscular body, which resembled that of a wild beast, and then quietly got up and left the room.

Turn left, go straight, and open the door.

Xu Tianzhen stood by the window, looking at the moon outside.

The moonlight cast a silvery outline on her figure. She stood there, like a statue of a young girl in prayer.

Hearing footsteps, she turned around and saw Kong Tianxu, her eyes filled with surprise and delight.

"Tianxu?" Her voice held a hint of surprise. "You didn't go to Cain's place tonight?"

Kong Tianxu walked up behind her and gently hugged her from behind.

I came to see you.

His large hands began to roam, caressing her slender waist and her smooth, intoxicatingly smooth back.

Xu Tianzhen's breathing became heavy, and her face flushed slightly. She leaned against him, feeling his warmth and sense of security.

"You never stay up late, are you in a bad mood today?" Kong Tianxu asked softly.

Xu Tianzhen hesitated for a moment.

"tomorrow……"

Kong Tianxu gently stroked her collarbone.

"Tomorrow you will ascend the throne as emperor."

His voice was extremely soft, yet incredibly firm.

"We will always be together and never be separated."

Xu Tianzhen turned around and looked at him.

Those eyes held tenderness, determination, and a hint of indescribable emotion.

She did not speak.

He simply stood on tiptoe and kissed her.

As the girl's back was gradually revealed in the moonlight, its graceful movements, like a butterfly fluttering in flight, foreshadowed a sleepless night...

As the enchanting atmosphere in the room gradually unfolded, the night outside the window slowly receded like a curtain.

A sliver of dawn appeared on the horizon.

The curtain rises.

……

The fierce battle between the Holy Spirit Cult and Shrek Academy seemed to have intensified the atmosphere throughout the city.

After a night of stillness, when dawn broke, Mingdu was unusually quiet. It seemed the entire city was still asleep, unable to awaken for a long time.

The silence in Mingdu lasted until noon, when the people who had been overly excited the day before gradually came to their senses. Everything seemed to be returning to normal.

However, after yesterday's great battle, the final match tomorrow seems to have lost some of its luster with Kong Tianxu's earth-shattering sword strike that severed his destiny.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy easily defeated the Mingyu Sect, but the popularity of the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition seems to be declining.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes to see. With Kong Tianxu in charge, plus those genuine Soul Saints from the Holy Spirit Cult, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has absolutely no competitive edge against the Holy Spirit Cult.

However, the only speculative aspect is that Xiao Hongchen and his group were able to hold out against Kong Tianxu for even a few seconds, and most betting odds revolve around this point.

Xiao Hongchen was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

It should at least be measured in minutes...

But as time passed and the sun began to set, the atmosphere in Mingdu seemed to grow more enthusiastic. This was because, besides the major competitions, another contest closely related to the lives of many people was about to begin.

Moreover, it was the final round.

The final round of the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Competition, hosted by the three major underground forces of Mingdu, will be held tonight.

Chapter 315 Slacking Off

Under the dim light, Kong Tianxu patiently draped layers of brocade robes over the naked girl in front of him.
