The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

"The evil spirit masters on the continent have been dormant for hundreds of years. If they have been secretly accumulating power and have already become a force to be reckoned with, then everything makes sense."

Xu Jiujiu realized her loss of composure at this moment, and her full breasts heaved.

Indeed, as Vina said, nothing is absolute. And most importantly, Shrek Academy had absolutely no reason to deceive her.

The matter is easy to verify. Since that team of evil soul masters participated in this competition, they will inevitably demonstrate their evil soul master abilities during the matches. The cultivation methods of evil soul masters dictate that their methods are bizarre and sinister, vastly different from ordinary soul masters. It's easy to distinguish them.

Although Xu Jiujiu's heart was somewhat troubled, she still did not forget to express her sincerest gratitude to Xu Zihuang and Zhang Lexuan.

"Thank you, thank you for telling me all this. I will immediately send someone to verify the truth of these matters and convey the information to my brother. We will certainly reward you handsomely afterwards."

Their Star Luo Empire was indeed the most powerful of the three great empires on the Douluo Continent, but in terms of high-end combat strength, it always lagged behind the Heavenly Soul Empire. This information was extremely important to them.

This is a legacy from history. The Heavenly Soul Empire split off from the former Heavenly Dou Empire, and the territory it occupied was home to the residences of the top three of the seven major sects ten thousand years ago. The area centered around Heavenly Dou City was extremely prosperous in the world of Soul Masters. Even after ten thousand years, the Heavenly Soul Empire still produces far more talented Soul Masters than the Star Luo Empire.

The Dragon God Douluo Mu Lao, Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, and Death God Douluo Ye Xishui were all from the Heavenly Soul Empire. Furthermore, the two generations of sect leaders of the Body Sect, Du Bisi and Du Busi, and even the current sect leader of the Sea God Pavilion, Xuan Lao, also hailed from the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Among the younger generation of Soul Masters, Xu Zihuang is the most talented. He also possesses half the blood of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Zhang Lexuan said solemnly, "Our Shrek Academy is informing the two princesses of these things not to seek any so-called reward. For us, the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult are enemies we may, or even inevitably, have to face together in the future."

Xu Jiujiu took a deep breath.

"In that case, I'll take my leave now. I must convey this to my brother as soon as possible. Thank you again for this information. If Shrek Academy ever needs our Star Luo Empire's help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

As she spoke, she bowed slightly to Xu Zihuang and Zhang Lexuan before turning and leaving. Accompanying her was, of course, the Nebula Douluo, Manyi.

After a long while, Vina gazed at Xu Zihuang with eyes full of affection and asked softly, "Tianhuang, I wonder if I can talk to you alone?"

Noticing two pairs of eyes on him, Xu Zihuang's heart tightened, but he appeared calm and collected on the surface.

“Vina, I think I can guess what you’re thinking. Actually, there’s no need for us to talk alone.”

With a flash of light, Xu Zihuang placed a curled-up drawing on the table in front of him and then pushed it in front of Vina.

"This blueprint is the design drawing for the Nalei rocket."

Vina instinctively took the blueprint, her face showing surprise. Mu Xue, standing beside her, couldn't help but open the blueprint on the spot. Seeing the detailed information recorded on it, although her knowledge of soul tools was not as in-depth as Xu Zihuang's, she still confirmed the authenticity of the blueprint at a glance.

The design blueprints for the rocket are indeed fine, but they are missing a crucial element.

Upon discovering these details, Mu Xue's appetite was whetted. Gone was her previous aloof demeanor; she eagerly inquired, "This blueprint must be missing a part, right? If the Thunder Arrow is manufactured according to this blueprint, even if it is fired, the charging array at the tail of the arrow cannot be activated, and the fixed soul-guided cannon embedded at the front cannot be triggered either."

"Sister Xue," Vina whispered a reminder. Mu Xue immediately fell silent, but the intensity in her eyes was even greater than it had been for Xu Jiujiu before.

Vina looked at Xu Zihuang again and said, "I understand, Tianhuang. Our Tianhun Empire is willing to pay any price to purchase the complete design blueprints you have. Please name your price."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she emphasized the word 'complete'.

Zhang Lexuan, Ye Guyi, and Ning Tian were also stunned. They could see the determination in Vina's eyes.

Should we buy this design at all costs?

Xu Zihuang smiled calmly.

"No need, Vina."

Mu Xue, who thought Yu Tianhuang had no intention of selling the complete design blueprints for the Thunder Rocket, immediately became somewhat impatient.

"As long as you make your request, our Heavenly Soul Empire will do its best to fulfill it."

Xu Zihuang shook his head again, but he took out another blueprint from his storage soul tool and handed it to the unexpected Vina.

“Vina, Muxue, that’s not what I meant. Actually, from the beginning, my plan was to give you the complete design blueprints for the Thunder Rocket. The Thunder Rocket itself isn’t complicated to make. The reason it has such miraculous effects is because it uses a rare metal alloy called Thunderflame Gold. You should know that even when two identical rare metals are fused together, the slightest difference in the fusion ratio will result in a huge difference in the alloy’s properties. This blueprint is the forging and fusion method for Thunderflame Gold.”

"The Thunderfire Gold forged in this way has a characteristic called dispersion. When it rotates at high speed, it emits a weak energy fluctuation. This energy fluctuation can activate the charging array within it and can extend forward until it triggers the fixed soul-guided cannon embedded in the front of the Thunderfire Rocket. This is the fundamental reason why the Thunderfire Rocket can accelerate multiple times and increase its range."

"In other words, even ordinary people can use this Thunderfire Rocket. The structure of the Thunderfire Rocket determines that it will enter a high-speed spinning state after being launched. Only an initial power source is needed. It can be launched with a longbow or a crossbow. My suggestion is that the Heavenly Soul Empire can specially train a fine archer to equip this Thunderfire Rocket."

Xu Zihuang not only gave Vina the complete blueprints for the Thunder Rocket and the forging of Thunder Flame Gold, but also gave her a very constructive suggestion.

Having studied soul tools, Mu Xue instantly understood the principle behind Xu Zihuang's explanation. Using soul tools made from rare metal alloys was, without exaggeration, already ahead of its time.

After all, this soul tool perfectly solved the problem that ordinary people couldn't use powerful soul tools. The value of this design blueprint is self-evident, and Yu Tianhuang gave it to them so readily.

Vina stared wide-eyed and shook her head sincerely.

"No, Tianhuang, I can't accept this. This design is too valuable..."

Before Vina could finish speaking, Xu Zihuang interrupted her in a deep voice.

“Vina, you don’t need to refuse. I am a Soul Master with a spiritual attribute, and I have an extraordinary sensitivity to certain things that haven’t happened yet. In the future, the Sun Moon Empire may not be peaceful. Moreover, to be precise, this design is not for you and Mu Xue, but for the Heavenly Soul Empire. If the Sun Moon Empire makes any moves in the future, equipping the Heavenly Soul Empire’s army with these Thunder Rockets will provide them with more protection. Most importantly, I am a citizen of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and I deeply love my country. I think even if you are a princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, you should have no reason to refuse my contribution to my country.”

Hearing this, Mo Feiyun and the Super Douluo from the Snow Demon Sect behind Vina were both moved.

As luck would have it, all eight people present were from the Heavenly Soul Empire. Apart from Ye Guyi, Xu Zihuang's words resonated with everyone to some extent.

Mu Xue's gaze towards Xu Zihuang held a hint of admiration. With exceptional talent, formidable strength, and outstanding looks and demeanor, coupled with his strong sense of national honor and identity, Yu Tianhuang was practically perfect.

Ye Guyi suppressed the urge to laugh, leaned close to Ning Tian's ear, and whispered something using her soul power.

Ning Tian regained his senses with a slight tremor, and nodded almost imperceptibly when he saw the smile in Ye Guyi's golden eyes.

"Thank you, Tianhuang." Vina stood up and bowed deeply to Xu Zihuang. Having been asked this far, she couldn't possibly refuse. Her gaze softened, and she continued, slightly shy.

“I have something else to tell you. It involves some secrets, and I hope it’s just the two of us alone.”

Xu Zihuang met Vina's gaze with a slight frown. Although Vina's pretty face was flushed, her eyes showed more composure.

Just then, under everyone's gaze, Ye Guyi and Ning Tian stepped forward and took Xu Zihuang's arm from either side.

Ye Guyi leaned lazily on Xu Zihuang's shoulder and said apologetically to Vina, "I'm sorry, Princess Vina, we only just arrived here recently and we're all quite tired from the journey. If you have anything you want to say to Tianhuang but don't want others to know, you can use your soul power to transmit your voice."

Mu Xue stared in disbelief at Xu Zihuang and the other two, especially Ye Guyi and Ning Tian beside Xu Zihuang, who both looked very affectionate.

"You—you guys?!"

Although Ning Tian blushed slightly, she did not explain anything.

Xu Zihuang's lips twitched slightly; he knew without a doubt that this was Ye Guyi's idea.

As expected, Ye Guyi narrowed her eyes slightly and responded to Mu Xue with complete indifference.

"Is there anything strange about it? Tianhuang is so outstanding, it's normal for several girls to like him."

Mu Xue was speechless for a moment after being rebuked by Ye Guyi. She suddenly looked at Vina beside her, about to say something. But before she could speak, Vina made a bold move that surprised her.

Vina moved closer to Xu Zihuang, tiptoed, and whispered her red lips near his ear. And this was all so close, right in front of Ye Guyi and Ning Tian.

After doing all this, she nodded to Zhang Lexuan and pulled the stunned Mu Xue out of the room. From an angle unseen by Xu Zihuang and the others, Vina's eyes were already misty with shyness.

For the latter part of the conversation, Zhang Lexuan acted like an outsider from beginning to end. However, her expression at this point was somewhat subtle.

"Senior Sister, we're leaving now." After a moment, Xu Zihuang, who had come to her senses, coughed awkwardly and led Ye Guyi and Ning Tian out of Zhang Lexuan's room.

Ye Guyi's expression turned sour after being tricked by Vina.

After entering Xu Zihuang's room and closing the door, she immediately asked, "What did she say to you?"

Ning Tian was also staring intently at Xu Zihuang, clearly very concerned about these things as well.

"She said that the reason I was able to use the second awakening of my Gold-level Body Martial Soul without suffering any particularly serious negative effects is because I am extremely rare and have a naturally flawless body. From birth, a trace of innate energy has remained within me. The greatest characteristic of the Body Secret Technique is that it can trigger the innate energy that is the mystery within a person's womb, allowing them to re-evolve and surpass the limits of humanity. If I want to perfectly control the ability of the second awakening of my Gold-level Body Martial Soul, I can go to her room to see the Sect Master of the Body Sect if I have time."

Xu Zihuang did not hide anything and conveyed the entire message to Ye Guyi and Ning Tian.

Chapter 380 Haotian Sect and Tang Wutong

In a luxurious room on the sixth floor of the Mingyue Grand Hotel, Vina and Muxue sat facing each other on a sofa near the balcony. Through the crystal floor-to-ceiling windows, they could overlook the view of Mingdu.

The buildings in Mingdu are mostly exceptionally tall and have a strong metallic feel, which is significantly different from Tiandou City, where the two of them grew up.

If the capital city is like a metal metropolis infused with countless soul-guided technologies, then Tiandou City has a more antique and historical feel.

Vina and Muxue represent the Snow Demon Sect in this year's Continental Youth Soul Master Tournament. Although the Snow Demon Sect is a powerful sect with a long history on the continent, it is very low-key and basically lives in semi-seclusion. Moreover, the Snow Demon Sect's reputation is far less widespread than that of ancient sects such as the Clear Sky Sect and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so they were only assigned to stay on the sixth floor of the Mingyue Grand Hotel.

However, the treatment is roughly the same from the fourth floor upwards. You can order whatever you want to eat directly from the hotel, and the hotel will try its best to meet any needs. The only difference lies in the level of luxury of the accommodations.

Teams staying on floors four and below had to eat at the hotel restaurant.

Mu Xue quietly observed Vina across from her, her eyes now holding a scrutinizing gaze. Vina's bold actions just now had truly taken her by surprise.

"Vina, what did you say to him?"

"I just told him he could come to my room sometime; I have something to discuss with him privately." Vina's pretty face was slightly flushed, the afterglow still lingering. Her delicate and shy appearance was exceptionally endearing.

Mu Xue was not a disciple of the Body Sect after all, so she couldn't mention those secrets about the Body Sect to her.

In fact, even if Shrek Academy hadn't invited her to discuss matters this time, she would have proactively sought out Yu Tianhuang. Because it was a matter entrusted to her by the current sect leader of the Body Sect.

Mu Xue's expression was solemn as she met Vina's gaze. In the past, she would have been very happy for Vina to compete with Ning Tian. But now, Yu Tianhuang had another woman by his side, Ye Guyi, whose appearance and temperament were in no way inferior to Ning Tian's.

What she found most unacceptable was that Ning Tian and Ye Guyi were actually getting along peacefully. This greatly shocked her.

In the Douluo Continent, it's quite normal for nobles and powerful Soul Masters to have multiple partners. However, Vina is a princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire. For her to interfere in this situation would be a disgrace to the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family.

However, noticing the tenderness in Vina's eyes, Mu Xue didn't say anything more, but simply sighed softly, "Vina, have you really fallen for him?"

Hearing Mu Xue's question, Vina hesitated for a moment, but the emotion in her eyes was replaced by determination.

"Sister Xue, once you've seen the best, you can't accept even the slightest flaw. That's just human nature. After meeting him, how could I possibly tolerate any other man?"

Vina always appears gentle and kind, but as the owner of twin martial souls, with her second martial soul being the brain, a top-tier spiritual attribute, she also possesses her own pride.

Mu Xue fell silent, for she felt the same way. Before a peerless genius like Yu Tianhuang, all other talented young soul masters would appear mediocre. She could foresee that in the future, when choosing a partner, she would likely inadvertently compare herself to Yu Tianhuang.

But unlike Vina, who was already deeply involved, she still retained a sliver of her rationality.

With her chest rising and falling slightly, Mu Xue brushed a strand of hair from her temple and asked, "Can you really not care about these things?"

"Sister Xue, actually, these are nothing to me." Vina smiled sweetly.

“I never felt entitled to have him all to myself. As long as he is willing to marry me, I can ignore everything else.”

"You're really crazy..." Mu Xue stared blankly at Vina, her red lips slightly parted.

"Yu Tianhuang is indeed outstanding, but you are no less so. You also possess twin martial souls, and you are also a princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Vina, why do you have such thoughts?"

Meeting Mu Xue's gaze, Vina shook her head meaningfully.

"Sister Xue, you still haven't truly recognized Tianhuang's excellence. Or rather, you've placed us on too high a level."

……

Meanwhile, Xu Zihuang and his two companions had just finished their conversation and were sunbathing by the outdoor swimming pool.

The area where the pool is located protrudes outwards and is entirely constructed of a special crystal material, making it transparent and pristine. Above the azure pool water is a glass dome. At night, a soft, pale blue light illuminates the area around the pool. Standing beneath an endless starry sky, this beauty is enough to captivate anyone.
