Douluo Continent: Copying Ya Li, the Carefree King of the Sun and Moon

Xu Yanli slumped in the chair, feeling his soul power seemingly increasing continuously.

It seems that the legend of Zihuang destroying the Heavenly Dragon is true; it is a sub-dragon born from the sun.

Xu Yanli thought he could lie down all day and no one would bother him, but...

Jing Hongchen rushed to his mansion with the first-level soul-guided pistol he had created.

"Your Highness, did you take the test the other day? Is it really usable by ordinary people? Does it not require the use of soul power?" Jing Hongchen asked a barrage of questions as soon as he came up, and Xu Yanli didn't know which one to answer first.

“Yes, this really doesn’t require soul power. Do you think there’s a problem with that?” Xu Yanli stretched his arm and looked up at Jing Hongchen.

"No, no, I just want to know a little about soul tools. How can you make a soul tool that can be used without soul power?" Jing Hongchen was a little nervous, so he spoke incoherently.

Xu Yanli looked at him for a while before slowly saying, "Mechanical, gears, and besides, it's not like it doesn't require the assistance of a Soul Master at all. After all, it still needs to be charged. In terms of usage strength, it is definitely more powerful when used by a Soul Master."

"This is a huge leap forward for our technology. May I invite you to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?" Jing Hongchen said excitedly.

Xu Yanli shook his head: "I usually go to my teacher's place most of the time, but I spend the rest of the time doing experiments at my residence. If you don't mind, you can come here."

"Then I'll gladly accept your offer," Jing Hongchen said excitedly. "My grandson and granddaughter are about your age, so why don't we have them come and play with you, and have them be your study companions?"

Xu Yanli: ? ? ?

Is this guy selling his grandson and granddaughter so quickly?

"Let them come if they want," Xu Yanli said, rubbing his forehead.

"Then Your Highness, please rest well. I'll be right back." Jing Hongchen rushed out quickly, leaving behind only a fleeting shadow.

"Luo Xu, do you think our Red Dust Hall Master is a bit too prudent?" Xu Yanli said, somewhat speechless.

"Yes." Luo Xu.

"Luo Xu, do you think our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy can surpass Shrek Academy?" Xu Yanli continued to lie in the chair, sighing.

"Yes." Luo Xu.

"Luo Xu, tell me, am I exceptionally powerful?"

"Yes." Luo Xu.

Xu Yanli suddenly stood up, raised an eyebrow at Luo Xu, thought for a moment, and then lay back down.

Getting up is too tiring, I don't want to do it.

Sigh, I'm not in the mood to talk anymore.

However, Xu Yanli did not wait for Jing Hongchen, but instead waited for Xu Tianran.

"Yanli, come here, I have something to tell you." Xu Tianran pushed the wheelchair next to Xu Yanli's recliner and said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yanli gestured for Luo Xu to leave first.

"Brother, what is it?" Xu Yanli asked with a smile.

"Let me tell you about the Holy Spirit Cult," Xu Tianran said calmly.

"Your Majesty, what are your plans?" Xu Yanli asked calmly.

"What should we do? I plan to hand over the affairs of the Holy Spirit Cult to you when you grow up," Xu Tianran said, tapping the handle of his wheelchair.

Xu Yan paused for a moment before saying, "The Holy Spirit Cult has a terrible reputation. In the future, we can try to incorporate them to some extent."

"I'll listen to you," Xu Tianran said casually, tossing Xu Yanli a jade pendant engraved with the words "逍遥" (Xiaoyao, meaning carefree and unrestrained).

"What is this?" Xu Yanli asked, looking completely bewildered.

“I used your title to establish a trading company, and this trading company is now yours,” Xu Tianran said calmly.

Xu Yanli had a strange feeling that Xu Tianran was like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, with ill intentions.

But judging from his expression, he didn't seem like he wanted to trick him.

Xu Tianran remained silent for a while. Seeing that he didn't take it, he sighed and said, "Take it. Don't worry, I'm not trying to cheat you. As long as you don't want to be the emperor in the future, you'll always be my brother."

Xu Yanli paused for a moment, then reached out and took the jade pendant, smiling as he said, "Thank you, brother."

"And that Jing Hongchen, you should get to know his granddaughter and grandson. After all, they're the same age and should have things in common," Xu Tianran said, rubbing Xu Yanli's face.

Chapter 8 Preparing to Leave

Xu Tianran did not leave, but chose to stay here with Xu Yanli, basking in the sun and enjoying the breeze.

For a moment, Xu Yanli thought that Xu Tianran was actually quite normal, not as crazy as described in the original novel.

However, those who aspire to great things are bound to be somewhat mad; they'll go mad in one way or another.

Xu Tianran left around dusk.

Xu Yanli breathed a sigh of relief after Xu Tianran left. Being with Xu Tianran was quite stressful.

Early the next morning, Jing Hongchen arrived at the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion with a smile on her face, along with her brother and sister Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

“Your Highness, these are my grandson and granddaughter. One has innate full soul power, and the other has innate level nine soul power. They are both outstanding geniuses,” Jing Hongchen said respectfully.

Xu Yanli put down the soul guidance array he had just carved and said, "Since you have good talent, then learn with me. I need to go to my teacher this afternoon."

“Your teacher…” Jing Hongchen said excitedly, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

Xu Yanli waved his hand, indicating that Jing Hongchen could leave.

When Meng Hongchen saw Xu Yanli's appearance, she was instantly stunned.

Xu Yanli's skin tone is somewhere between fair and bronze, generally leaning more towards the skin tone of the Star Luo Empire.

Xu Yanli knew that his appearance was exactly the same as his mother who died young, and he did not resemble his father at all.

And how could a woman who caught the emperor's eye be anything less than beautiful? Moreover, his mother possessed an angelic martial spirit, and was said to be a descendant of the angel god.

"Your Highness, can I ask you for an autograph?" Meng Hongchen asked, blinking her big eyes.

"Huh?" A look of confusion flashed across Xu Yanli's eyes.

Xiao Hongchen pulled his younger sister aside, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

"Your Highness, is there anything we need to do?" Xiao Hongchen asked after a moment of silence.

Xu Yanli glanced at the two of them, thought for a moment, and then said, "How are you two doing with your soul tools?"

“Grandpa said we’re still okay,” Meng Hongchen replied immediately.

Xu Yanli paused for a moment, then pointed to a pile of drafts next to him: "Please help me organize these, thank you."

Xiao Hongchen stepped forward and began to tidy up, only to be surprised to find that each draft seemed to contain all sorts of whimsical ideas that he had never considered.

Xiao Hongchen was also captivated by the drawings. At first, Meng Hongchen always looked at Xu Yanli, but as she looked at more and more drafts, her mind was completely drawn to the drafts drawn by Xu Yanli.

"Your Highness, why does this piece fit so perfectly?" Xiao Hongchen asked with a puzzled look. It seemed that he had been looking at it for a long time and immediately asked about anything he didn't understand.

Xu Yanli rubbed his temples and then began to explain to him.

Actually, he didn't quite understand some of these things, but he had memorized a lot of questions back then, so he naturally memorized them.

Surprisingly, the blueprints we draw today are actually drawn using the mechanical drawing techniques we used to hate.

And so, time passed little by little.

For the past six years, Xu Yanli, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen have been inseparable. They did not attend the junior academy but instead continued to study under Kong Deming.

Meanwhile, Xu Yanli also reached level 57 in these six years, but the biggest improvement was in his physical fitness. Now his basic physical fitness is equivalent to the Soul Saint level.

Meanwhile, the Xiaoyao Pavilion that Xu Tianran had given him had gradually developed, but not in the Sun Moon Empire, but in Douling, Tianhun, and Xingluo Three Kingdoms.

He mainly sells low-level soul tools, and many of these soul tools were even invented by Xu Yanli himself.

However, most of these soul tools are not military-grade, but civilian-grade, such as refrigerators and air conditioners.

These are priced extremely high because the cost of manufacturing them is currently too high, so it's certain that the nobles will be fleeced first.

Moreover, ordinary people have no use for these things; after all, it's good enough for ordinary people in Douluo Continent to just survive.

Although Xu Tianran's leg was not completely healed, at least the necrotic nerves had regained sensation, and taking a few steps was no longer a big problem.

"Your Highness, please come with me." It was the same eunuch who had summoned him for his Martial Soul Awakening, but this eunuch was noticeably more respectful than before.

Xu Yanli followed him once again into the magnificent Sun and Moon Empire Palace.

He rarely comes here, after all, it's not a good place for him, and every time he thinks of it, he recalls some unpleasant memories.

Before Xu Tianran took him away, his life in the palace was miserable.

To be precise, if he weren't a time traveler, he would probably be dead by now.

Xu Yanli looked at the palace with deep emotion and slowly walked into the study of his adoptive father, the emperor.

"You've arrived, please have a seat," the emperor said calmly, gesturing to the seat beside him.

"Father." Xu Yanli bowed respectfully and sat down in the chair next to him.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then said, "Do you know why I summoned you here?"

"Your subject knows," Xu Yanli said calmly. "Going to Douluo Continent originally belonged to the Three Kingdoms."

"Yes, go to Shrek Academy. I don't need you to stay for long. I just need you to understand Shrek Academy's system and recruit as many geniuses as possible," the Emperor said after a moment of silence.

"And there's the former crown prince, Xu He, who's your cousin. Find him and kill him." The emperor held a string of beads in his hand, seemingly fiddling with them one by one.

Xu Yanli nodded and said, "Your subject will certainly complete the mission, but I need some manpower."

"Don't worry about that. You can ask for anyone from the Imperial Hall. Your trading company, Xiaoyao Pavilion, is doing quite well." The emperor seemed unsure of what to say, so he could only force a conversation.

"Well, Father, how about I give you a few civilian soul tools? Those refrigerators are very useful for storing wine, drinks, and the like," Xu Yanli agreed.

"Alright, by the way, there's an elder in the Hall of Offerings named Xue Chen whose martial spirit is Shadow. Have him accompany you." The emperor said, flipping through the memorial in his hand.

Xu Yanli nodded: "Yes."

"Sigh, go, go. Remember, no mission is more important than your life, understand?" the emperor suddenly said as Xu Yanli was about to leave.

Xu Yanli turned around, bowed, thanked him, and left. He seemed to vaguely hear, "I'm sorry."

Chapter 9 Blonde Girl

Xu Yanli arrived at the Hall of Offerings and went straight to his teacher, Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming.
