Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

In Sun Moon Empire, the purchasing power of gold soul coins is actually stronger than in Star Luo Empire. This is because the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool development is rapid, and its economic level is also booming. Therefore, many things are cheaper than in other empires.

Zhao Wei continued, "Of course, improving the treatment of talented people is something that the royal family must consider in any empire."

I once advised His Majesty that more benefits could be provided to talented individuals. Therefore, any human soul master who is willing to join Star Luo can actually receive subsidies from the Star Luo royal family.

Of course, the subsidies are tiered. We can discuss the specifics with me after the lecture, and then we can outline the terms.

"Moreover, some Soul Masters who immigrated from Star Luo to Sun Moon can also receive this subsidy, but the premise is that they continue to be Star Luo citizens and are willing to talk to me."

In fact, there are also some immigrants from Xingluo in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

In the past, immigrating to Sun Moon was not the mainstream in Douluo Three Kingdoms. People like Xuan Ziwen's parents were ultimately a minority. However, since the end of the last Soul Tournament, the number of people immigrating to Sun Moon has increased significantly.

Huo Yuhao looked at Zhao Wei, wondering what kind of incentives Xingluo could offer to attract people. Xingluo only surpassed the Sun Moon Empire in terms of soul beast resources, but this was the least important point, because anyone could enter the Star Dou Great Forest as long as they had enough strength.

The Star Luo people who immigrated to Sun Moon generally had decent talents; otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to join the Sun Moon Empire. As long as these people communicated with their teachers, hunting some soul beasts in Star Dou wouldn't be a problem.

Of course, even if Xingluo offers the best conditions, these immigrants probably won't go back. After all, people who keep changing their minds are easily suspected, and who knows how Xu Jiawei will treat them after they go back? According to the original novel, Xu Jiawei is not a naive and innocent person.

Upon hearing this, the host wondered why Professor Zhao was trying to poach people with his words.

He felt he couldn't let the other party continue their propaganda, so he quickly changed the subject: "Professor Zhao, I have another question. What are your views on the relationship between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire? If war were to break out in the future, which empire would have a greater chance of winning?"

Zhao Wei's voice boomed: "In my opinion, the two great empires should avoid fighting if possible and try to maintain a peaceful situation. After all, we are all human. If we start a war, wouldn't we just be making a laughing stock of the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest? Human soul masters should live in peace!"

"If it really comes to war, I can assure you that even if the Star Luo Empire is at a slight disadvantage in the early stages, everything will be fine as long as Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger launches an attack! Therefore, I warn the Sun Moon Empire not to try to provoke the Star Luo Empire!"

When he's out in the world, he naturally has to be assertive, otherwise it would be difficult to explain when he returns to the Star Luo Empire.

The host pressed on, "It sounds like you have a lot of confidence in Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger?"

Zhao Wei said, "Of course, Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger is a brilliant strategist. As long as he participates in the war, the Star Luo Empire cannot lose. As for some of the slanderous remarks against Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger, they are completely unfounded."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao subconsciously turned to look at Ju Zi, thinking to himself that Dai Hao would later be thoroughly beaten by Ju Zi on the battlefield.

While this is inseparable from the fact that the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools are more advanced than those of other empires, judging from the original work, Dai Hao is completely unrelated to being a master strategist.

If it weren't for Huo Gua helping Dai Hao in the original story, Ju Zi would have already reached Xingluo City and killed Dai Hao.

After a while, the lecture ended, and the host saw Zhao Wei off to the accommodation specially prepared for him by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. The students who had attended the lecture also left one after another.

However, they all wore a slight smile. The reason was simple: in the internal propaganda of the Sun Moon Empire, the Star Luo Empire's national strength was actually inferior to that of the Sun Moon Empire. Therefore, Zhao Wei's words were considered by many to be complete fabrication.

Keke stood up from her seat: "Ju Zi, let's go back to the lab. I feel that this so-called Professor Zhao doesn't have any real talent or knowledge. It's ridiculous that he's called 'Little Yu and Little Gang'. Even if I went up there, I could probably say something useful."

Orange shook her head: "No need, Keke, I still need to talk to Junior Brother Yuhao about some cultivation matters."

A smile appeared on Keke's face. She subconsciously glanced at Huo Yuhao and Ju Zi and said, "Okay, then I won't bother you here. If Teacher Xuan asks, I'll say you have some personal matters to attend to and need to take a day off."

"Of course, Orange, you have to be careful. That Zimu guy is pretty jealous. If he finds out you're getting closer and closer to Junior Yuhao, he'll definitely get jealous."

Ju Zi frowned, and fearing that Huo Yuhao might misunderstand, she immediately explained, "I have no interest in Zi Mu, and I don't need to consider Zi Mu's feelings when I do things. If I don't do certain things because I'm afraid of Zi Mu being jealous, then I won't be able to do many things."

Chapter 236 The Current Development Status of the Spirit Pagoda

“I know.” Keke’s face became serious. “Because of Yuhao’s status as a junior, Zimu doesn’t dare to do anything openly. But who knows if Zimu will do something extreme out of jealousy? For the sake of our good sisterhood, I will keep an eye on Zimu for you.”

If Keke had to choose between Orange and Purple Wood, she would definitely choose Orange. The reason is simple: she and Orange have a good relationship. They are not only both students of Teacher Xuan, but also good friends.

As for Zimu, although everyone has become a disciple of Teacher Xuan, the relationship between Zimu and Keke is actually limited to being fellow disciples.

Orange nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Keke."

"Hehe, it's okay, just cook for me more often in the future." Keke waved her hand with a smile, then parted ways with Ju Zi and Huo Yuhao.

Once most of the people around had left, Ju Zi whispered, "Junior Brother Yuhao, I should go find Zhao Wei as soon as possible and try to turn him against us. This is one of the tasks Xu Tianran gave me."

As you know, warfare tests not only the overall strength of the imperial army but also intelligence gathering, so Zhao Wei actually has some value. Can you come with me?

Huo Yuhao nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."

A smile appeared on Ju Zi's face; she seemed quite happy. Then, she led Huo Yuhao and flew towards Zhao Wei's residence.

Huo Yuhao and Ju Zi both used their flying soul tools, and then the two figures flew towards Zhao Wei's residence.

During this time, he looked at the flying soul tool on Orange's back and asked with some doubt, "Senior Orange, is your flying soul tool a little different from before?"

Ju Zi was somewhat surprised: "Junior Brother Yuhao, you can even sense such a subtle difference. You truly deserve to be called a genius of soul tools."

During your voyage, Teacher Xuan put in a lot of effort and successfully modified the core array of the flying soul tool, so that it could better assist soul masters in flying.

In short, by using this flight soul tool, I can now consume less soul power, fly for longer periods, and experience a slight increase in flight speed.

"I see. Teacher Xuan really is as passionate about soul tools as ever." A smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's face.

The flying soul tool invented by the Sun Moon Empire has a simple function: to allow soul masters below the Soul Saint level who do not possess the ability to fly after their martial soul is attached to them to fly independently.

Given the current level of development of soul guidance technology, even a first-level soul guide master of the Sun Moon Empire can fly using a first-level flying soul guide. This means that the Sun Moon Empire can quickly gain air superiority in future wars.

It's important to understand that, when the strength is roughly equal, the ability to fly is a huge advantage. Although previous Soul Fighting Tournaments have set upper limits on flight altitude, which makes the effectiveness of flight seem to be greatly reduced.

However, on the battlefield, there is no upper limit to flight height set by the organizers of the Soul Fighting Tournament; the upper limit is determined by the Soul Master's own strength.

Even the first-level Soul Masters of the Sun and Moon Realm can fly to relatively high places. With the assistance of the sealed milk bottle, these Soul Masters can naturally fly for longer periods of time and use linked attack Soul Guidance Devices in the air to deal with enemy armies that cannot fly.

This would undoubtedly be fatal for the armies of other empires.

After all, in the armies of any Douluo Empire, the majority are low-level Soul Masters and ordinary soldiers, while those who are extremely powerful are basically only a minority.

Although Shrek Academy also mastered the method of making flying soul tools, which could help soul masters fly.

The problem is that their flying soul tools are at least level three, which is too high a barrier to entry for the military. Moreover, because Shrek Academy's own soul tool technology is not good, they naturally have no chance to obtain the sealed milk bottle.

Furthermore, the Shrek version of the flying soul tool is inherently inferior in quality to the Sun and Moon version.

Therefore, once war breaks out, any empire that has purchased Shrek Academy-style flying soul tools will have its shortcomings exposed during the war.

.......

Some time later, Ju Zi brought Huo Yuhao to Zhao Wei's residence and completed the defection of Zhao Wei.

At first, Zhao Wei pretended to be a loyal subject of the Star Luo Empire, but when Ju Zi revealed a series of secret information related to Zhao Wei and made a threat, Zhao Wei immediately knelt down and chose to surrender to the Sun Moon Empire, promising to collect as much intelligence as possible for the Sun Moon Empire.

Ju Zi was not stingy at all; she directly promised a series of benefits and gave the other party a storage ring filled with gold soul coins.

After resolving this matter.

She led Huo Yuhao to a secluded place and said, "Tower Master, I need to report to you on the development of the Spirit Pagoda."

Huo Yuhao was stunned and puzzled. He thought to himself, "You were just calling me junior brother, why are you calling me tower master now? This isn't a public meeting inside the Spirit Pagoda. It's one thing to be careful about how you address someone in public, but why are you so particular about how you address someone in private?"

Huo Yuhao said, "Senior Sister Ju Zi, there are only the two of us here, so you don't really need to call me Tower Master."

“No.” Orange shook her head. “Whenever I report on matters related to the Spirit Pagoda, I must address you as the Tower Master. After all, I am still your secretary for now.”

Wow, so you refer to your job title when you're at work?

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao stopped refusing and said, "Alright, then you can start your report."

Orange nodded, and then began to speak eloquently: "Overall, the influence of the Spirit Pagoda has improved considerably compared to before."

Taking the five major Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Army as an example, currently, apart from the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps, the other three Soul Master Corps have already begun in-depth cooperation with us.

"This is all thanks to the Soul Spirits you researched, Tower Master. The allure of Soul Spirits to Soul Masters is simply too great."

In this world, no human soul master can refuse a soul spirit, after all, everyone wants to become stronger.

In addition, since Elder Kong usually supports the Spirit Pagoda, some of the three major Soul Master Corps members even had the idea of ​​following the Pagoda Master.

I am confident that in the future, they will all become forces under the Spirit Pagoda's command.

In the Sun and Moon Kingdom, there are five of the strongest Soul Master Corps, known as the Guardians of the Nation.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps, the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps, and the current Sun Moon Royal Family have an extremely close relationship.

The other three Beast King-level Soul Master Corps are simply no match for them.

Take the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps as an example. Their corps leader is surnamed Xu, and he is a genuine member of the Old Sun Moon Banner with the character "Xu". He is not in the same league as ordinary people or common Sun Moon nobles.

"Fire Phoenix, Terror Claw, and Evil Monarch—these three major Soul Master Corps are all cooperating deeply with our side. It seems the Spirit Pagoda is developing well. Of course, Fire Phoenix is ​​an old acquaintance." Huo Yuhao silently pondered for a moment.

Chapter 237 Super Douluo Kong Deming

"Why don't the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps and the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps cooperate more deeply with the Spirit Pagoda?" Huo Yuhao asked, somewhat puzzled.

Ju Zi said helplessly, "The leaders of these two major Soul Master Corps are completely obedient to the current Sun and Moon Emperor's orders. They are unwilling to take the risk of cooperating deeply with the Spirit Pagoda without the Emperor's permission."

Huo Yuhao frowned. He felt that the toughest nut to crack among the current guardians of the nation was actually the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps, which was the strongest soul master corps in Sun Moon.

According to the original setting, compared to the other Beast King-level Soul Master Corps which have two level-nine Soul Masters, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps has a full three level-nine Soul Masters. Moreover, all three are loyal to the Sun Moon Emperor and do not even participate in the battle for the throne between the Third Prince and Xu Tianran.

Therefore, even though Xu Tianran is now the Crown Prince, he is unable to command the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps.

Getting loyal souls to switch sides and even choose to stand with the Spirit Pagoda through their spirits is a difficult task in itself.

As for the other Royal Dragon Soul Master Group, it is actually quite easy to cooperate deeply with them, and it is not difficult to even bring them under our command.

Although the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Group also belongs to the Sun Moon Royal Family and obeys the orders of the Sun Moon Emperor, their loyalty varies. They are completely different from Xu Tianran.

The leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group is Xu Tianyuan, a high-ranking Prince of the Sun and Moon, and also Xu Tianran's cousin. However, Xu Tianyuan does not support Xu Tianran's ascension to the throne. The person he supports is the Third Prince, who did not even appear in the original work.

"I will ask Elder Kong for help to persuade the leaders of the two major Soul Master Corps. However, under these circumstances, the Spirit Pagoda can only temporarily take on the skin of an organization under the jurisdiction of the Offering Hall. After all, the Spirit Pagoda is not strong enough at present and what it needs most is development!" Huo Yuhao gave his plan.

Kong Deming held an extremely high position in the eyes of the ninth-level Soul Masters of the Sun and Moon Sect. In the original work, even before he became a tenth-level Soul Master, Kong Deming tacitly allowed Ju Zi to assassinate Xu Tianran, the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Sect.

He could even persuade some level-nine soul masters not to protect Xu Tianran, the Sun and Moon Emperor. Clearly, the authority of the Sun and Moon Emperor had to yield to Kong Deming's authority at times.

As for persuading Kong Deming, Huo Yuhao felt it would be relatively easy. Kong Deming only needed the Sun Moon Empire to have an emperor, and didn't care who that emperor was. So what the other party should care about was whether the Sun Moon Empire could become more prosperous. The series of things he had done could indeed enhance the strength of the Sun Moon Empire.

Otherwise, given Xu Yunhan's three-eyed white tiger martial soul in the later parts of the original story, it's clear he wasn't Xu Tianran's son. Logically speaking, Xu Yunhan's throne wouldn't be secure.

However, even so, Kong Deming put his disciple Xu Yunhan on the throne instead of choosing a true member of the Xu family from the Sun and Moon royal family to be emperor.

The two then chatted for a while, and Huo Yuhao learned from the conversation that quite a few Sun and Moon Nobles had also been won over by the Spirit Pagoda with their souls. Only then did he feel at ease and leave.

After all, nobles and the military are powerful forces in the Sun Moon Empire. If these forces can be fully controlled, the development of the Spirit Pagoda will inevitably be more rapid.

......

a few days later.

on board.

Kong Deming collapsed on the deck, panting heavily. His aged face showed signs of exhaustion, and his clothes were soaked with water, making him look somewhat disheveled.
