Xuan Ziwen spoke with a grave tone, "That's right, if we join the war rashly, we will only drag Shrek Academy into trouble. But if we don't participate, we can only watch the Sun-Moon Empire unify the Continent."
Elder Zhuang said coldly, "Why are you all speaking with such certainty? Even with their soul tool equipment, it won't be easy for the Sun-Moon Empire to unify the Continent. Their weakness lies in their top-tier combat power!"
Cai Mei'er shook her head, "No, if the Sun-Moon Empire spares no expense to unify the Continent, it would only take one day!"
As long as they use level 9 soul tools to bombard the two great empires, they might even make them surrender without a fight!
Fan Yu pursed his lips and said, "The existence of level 9 soul tools is indeed like a decisive weight in determining the outcome of wars. And the Xingluo Empire and the Sky Soul Empire just happen to lack such things!"
If the other two empires also possessed level 9 soul tools, relying solely on Soul Master Troops equipped with soul tools to conquer both empires would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!
Zhang Lexuan raised her Beautiful Eyes and suggested, "What if we provide level 9 soul tools to the other two empires? That should maintain the balance of the war!"
Elder Song retorted harshly, "Lexuan, you are too optimistic. The Sky Soul Empire and Xingluo Empire aren't fools; if they acquired level 9 soul tools, they would definitely join forces to destroy the Sun-Moon Empire!"
"In that case, it might even be better to let the Sun-Moon Empire unify the Continent to reduce future disputes!"
Therefore, as a neutral party, Shrek Academy, like other sects, should not intervene in the wars between empires.
Once the balance is broken, what follows will be a disaster that plunges countless residents and Soul Masters into despair!
Yan Shaozhe sighed and said, "Now that Qian Yu isn't at Shrek Academy, it's difficult for us to go to the Sun-Moon Empire to observe..."
"If we want to move over long distances, apart from Qian Yu, there is another person! That would be Huo Yuhao!"
"But even if we get there, we can't stop the war from happening!"
An agitated Elder Zhuang slammed down on the table, causing a loud "bang" to echo through the Sea God's Pavilion…
He then gritted his teeth and asked, "So what are we supposed to do now??"
Xuan Zi, equally at a loss for a solution, simply uttered one word, "Wait!"
All that they, from Shrek Academy, could do was wait…
The members of Sea God's Pavilion looked at each other and fell into silence…
...
Meanwhile, Qian Yu had already left the Sun-Moon Empire and returned to the Hao Tian Clan...
Qian Yu's pale golden eyes swept across the empty hall, with only Niu Tian present, and asked, "Sect Master Niu, hasn't Wutong finished absorbing the Soul Ring yet?"
The current Tang Wutong, having reached the Soul Douluo rank in Soul Power, was no longer as weak as she was at the Soul King stage. Even absorbing a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring shouldn't take this long…
Niu Tian, sitting in his chair, slowly opened his eyes upon hearing Qian Yu's words and said calmly, "Wutong is still absorbing the Soul Ring. It will take some more time..."
Qian Yu's pupils contracted sharply, his tone laced with worry as he said, "Sect Master Niu, you didn't let Wutong absorb a million-year..."
Before he could finish, Niu Tian cut him off, saying, "Hold it there! How could we let Xiao Wu Tong absorb such a dangerous Soul Ring that could pose risks? Besides, even with our Hao Tian Clan's resources, no, even Tang San, Wutong's father, couldn't manage to cultivate a million-year soul beast!"
"Do you think everyone is a freak like you, obtaining a million-year Soul Ring just by increasing Soul Power?"
After speaking, Niu Tian glared fiercely at Qian Yu…
Qian Yu gave a rare, awkward laugh...
But then he felt something was off...
Wait a minute...
If that's the case, where did that Huo Yuhao kid get his million-year Soul Ring from?
Before he could internally complain any further, Niu Tian fixed his cloudy eyes firmly on Qian Yu…
"Returning to our previous conversation, where were you yesterday? You were gone for an entire day! Don't tell me you... went to see some other woman?"
As he spoke, Niu Tian's terrifying pressure instantly permeated the area, causing the entire space to throb incessantly...
Qian Yu's heart tightened, and after pursing his thin lips, he responded without changing his expression, "How could that be, Sect Master Niu must be joking."
After observing for a while and seeing nothing amiss, Niu Tian let out a cold "hmpf" and turned his head aside...
Upon seeing this, Qian Yu said, "If that's the case, then I'll go in and check on Wu Tong first."
Having said that, he stepped toward the innermost part of the great hall...
But when he reached a certain spot, suddenly a "buzz!" sound rang out, and Niu Tian's massive prohibition repelled him a meter or two away...
Qian Yu frowned at the prohibition before him...
Immediately, intense Divine Power burst forth from his body, and with a single punch, he shattered the restriction and continued on his way.
Feeling this development, Niu Tian couldn't help but squint and said, "This kid's strength has really dropped ridiculously, to think he was even repelled by the prohibition I set up."
He used to be able to disable a prohibition with a casual wave of his hand, but now he had to break it by force...
...
After stepping over the Twisted Space, Qian Yu entered a place isolated from the outside world...
What met his gaze was Tang Wutong, who sat cross-legged on the ground, clenching her teeth as she absorbed the hundred-thousand-year soul ring...
On her delicate body, there were several bloody wounds...
Titan glanced at Qian Yu and asked indifferently, "How did you get in, young man?"
Qian Yu didn't answer Titan but asked solemnly in return, "Sect Master Titan, what happened to the wounds on Wu Tong?"
Upon hearing Qian Yu's words, Titan felt somewhat annoyed, irritably saying, "If not for you, young man!"
Qian Yu, confused, said, "Me? Sect Master Titan, what do you mean by that?"
He and Tang Wutong were partners; how could he possibly lay a hand on her...
Titan said flatly, "Tsk, little Wu Tong insisted on killing that soul beast with more than a hundred thousand years of cultivation by herself, claiming she didn't want to drag you guys down."
As he heard this, Qian Yu suddenly realized...
Although Tang Wutong was now very gentle, she also had a strong pride, which could be seen from the time when she was Wang Dong...
As for now, it was likely because she felt the gap in strength between herself and Huo Yuhao growing larger, so defeating this hundred-thousand-year soul beast was her way of proving she wasn't inferior to the two of them!
After understanding all this, Qian Yu looked at Tang Wutong, who was absorbing the hundred-thousand-year soul ring, with an incredibly complex expression, feeling quite uncomfortable inside...
...
Meanwhile, Xu Jiawei and the others, riding in a carriage, were swiftly escorted to Ming City, the central city of the Sun-Moon Empire, by countless Sun-Moon Empire Soul Masters...
At the same time, this was also where they were about to conduct their peace negotiations...
Xu Jiawei surveyed the high-tech environment around him and inwardly exclaimed, "As expected of Ming City, where soul tools are most developed. The facilities here are indeed incomparable to those in the Xingluo Empire and the Sky Soul Empire..."
Leading the Sun-Moon Empire Soul Master Troop, a Hyper Douluo extended his hand, and the massive formation came to a halt...
He smiled at Xu Jiawei and the others, saying, "Honored guests, carriages are prohibited in Ming City, please proceed on foot!"
Prohibition?
A load of crap for a prohibition!
Did these soon-to-be-dead have the right to ride carriages to the Sun-Moon Empire Imperial Palace?
