If he hadn't pretended to be asleep after waking up, he would never have learned this news...
The lead scientist's complexion showed no change as his gaze was fixed intently on the man...
"This is simply a precautionary measure, after all, you possess those two powers that could grow strong enough to threaten the federation at any time!"
"However, I can assure you that as long as you behave yourself, your parents will not be in any danger, and they will even be protected by the federation!"
The man let out a cold laugh, "Heh... what a hypocritical excuse!"
However, the other did not get angry, but patiently said, "Now, on behalf of the federation, I give you one more chance, is it to become the strongest secret weapon, or to go to hell with those two powers!"
The man pursed his lips and said coldly, "Do I even have a choice? But before I agree, I need to see my family to ensure they are safe and sound!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his request was agreed upon, "No problem!"
Shortly after, right in front of the man, a virtual screen popped up, showing the figures of his family members!
"We did not tell them the specifics, so, your parents are living very comfortably!"
The man's gaze flickered for a moment, "Then what do I need to do now?"
Once he had mastered those two powers and possessed the strength to contend with a Hyper Douluo, he would show the federation...
What true fear is!!
The corners of the lead scientist's mouth turned up slightly, "It's simple, cooperate with our experiments..."
...
Several days later!
The Blood Dragon Squad had successfully arrived at Skysea City...
Stepping off the Soul Guidance Train, Aruheng looked around with curiosity, "So this is Skysea City? I've never been here before, but what is Wulin doing here!"
Jiang Wuyue shrugged his shoulders, "Who knows, maybe he's just visiting his alma mater, after all, he did graduate from East Sea Academy!"
Ling Wuyue expressed her doubt, "Yuxue, what exactly is the favor that Wulin asked of us? From his tone, it seemed very important!"
Long Yuxue shook her head, "Wulin didn't specify, but we'll know once we meet up."
Sima Jinchi pondered, "Whatever it is, this time we brought the entire Blood Dragon Squad with us, we should be able to help Wulin!"
Jiang Wuyue urged, "What are we waiting for then, let's go!"
With that, they quickly headed towards East Sea Academy...
In just an hour and a half, they had already arrived outside the academy gates...
Upon learning of their arrival, Tang Wulin led the Shrek Seven Monsters out of East Sea Academy and met up with the Blood Dragon Squad!
Long Yuxue looked at Tang Wulin and Gu Yue in front of her, and joyfully said, "Wulin, Gu Yue, it's been a while!"
Gu Yue simply nodded in acknowledgment...
Tang Wulin said with a light laugh, "Yeah, it's been a while. Let me introduce to you, these are my comrades, the current Shrek Seven Monsters!"
Then, he turned to Xu Xiaoyan and the others and said, "Everyone, they are members of the Blood Dragon Squad! They are my brothers in arms who have been through life and death with me!"
After he spoke, the two groups got to know each other briefly...
Jiang Wuyue's eyes gleamed with strong fighting intent, "As expected of the Shrek Seven Monsters, each of you has reached the terrifying level of a Soul Douluo, I hope to spar with you in the future!"
Sima Jinchi also excitedly said, "Exactly, being Shrek Seven Monsters, your strength must not be inferior to Wulin's, what rare and worthy opponents!"
After all, he had traveled such a long distance just for the opportunity to battle strong opponents!
Tang Wulin covered his mouth and coughed, "Brother Jiang, Elder Sima, there's no need to rush. There will be chances in the future!"
Aruheng's gaze sharpened, "Wulin, can you now tell us what you were talking about earlier?"
Tang Wulin's expression became serious in an instant, "Senior brother, I was just about to explain. I called for the Blood Dragon Squad because I hope you can accompany me to the Douling Land!"
Upon hearing this, members of the Blood Dragon Squad revealed expressions of astonishment...
Long Yuxue frowned and said, "Heading to Douling Land? That place is considerably more dangerous than the Soul Land!"
Jiang Wuyue pressed on, "Wulin, what do you want to do in Douling Land? There must be a reason. If it's not absolutely necessary, it's better not to go rashly!"
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, suppressing the fury in his heart, "According to my investigation, my parents are imprisoned in a Spirit Pagoda within the Dou Spirit Empire. The purpose of this mission is to rescue them, and along the way, it is very likely that we will encounter evil Soul Masters!"
"Therefore, if anyone in the Blood Dragon Squad is unwilling, I will not force you!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Aruheng interrupted, "Junior brother, what are you talking about? Your business is the business of the Blood Dragon Squad."
"What I'm worried about is, even with the Blood Dragon Squad and the Shrek Seven Monsters, we are less than forty people. Trying to rescue someone from the hands of the Spirit Pagoda and the Holy Spirit Cult, I'm afraid..."
Tang Wulin explained, "You don't need to worry about that. Two Elders of the Sea God Pavilion will accompany us on this journey!"
Upon hearing this statement, members of the Blood Dragon Squad who had been slightly hesitant immediately dismissed their concerns...
Jiang Wuyue gestured with his hand, "Then it's settled. With two Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, there's nothing to fear even if we encounter the Four Great Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult!"
Sima Jinchi nodded, "I have no objections. Let's consider it a trip to the Douling Land!"
Aruheng and Long Yuxue looked at each other and said in unison, "We have no objections either!"
Upon hearing their agreement, Tang Wulin's face filled with relief, "Good, then once the two Elders of the Sea God Pavilion arrive, we will take a ship to the Douling Land!"
Dad, Mom, you must wait for me!
...
Spirit Pagoda!
Sitting alone on the sofa, Leng Yaozhu voiced her discontent somewhat grievously, "Gu Yue was only supposed to be gone for a few days, right? Why hasn't she come back yet?"
Just then, a screen suddenly popped up before her...
The aged figure on the other side, a ninth-rank soul-guidance master of the Spirit Pagoda!
Seeing him, Leng Yaozhu contained her emotions and calmly asked, "What happened?"
Clearly visible, the elderly man spoke with extreme excitement, "Pagoda Master, great news, after our experiments, using the Heart of the Ice God as a carrier for the God-Slaying Fixed Soul Cannon is feasible!"
This meant that the fourth God-Slaying Fixed Soul Cannon was not a dream!
Leng Yaozhu was momentarily stunned, then joyfully said, "Good, with the current level of soul guidance technology at the Spirit Pagoda, what are the chances of a successful research outcome?"
The old man paused for a moment, somewhat reluctant to admit, "With the current soul guidance technology of the Spirit Pagoda, the success rate doesn't exceed fifty percent!"
Leng Yaozhu pondered for a moment, "A fifty percent success rate? That's already enough! Go ahead with the research with peace of mind, even if it fails, it won't matter!"
A success would catapult the status of the Spirit Pagoda to a whole new level!
If it failed, it would only be a loss of ten billion federation coins!
The old man earnestly said, "Yes, Pagoda Master! We will not disappoint your expectations!"
