[Meng Shu (laughing): The second live quiz has finally begun! I've been preparing for this day for a long time!]
[Huyan Zhen (grimacing): Come on! Do you think the answers to these questions are easy to find? If they were, that lucky kid wouldn't have won the prize last time!]
[Ning Fengzhi (smiling): Everyone, let's not worry too much. This quiz might not be the same as the last one. The previous question involved the legendary God Realm, but the live room mentioned that the questions would mainly be about past, present, and future events on our Douluo Continent. Our preparations might still prove useful.]
[Xue Ye (pondering): Do you think this live room can show us future events? I'm genuinely curious to know what the future holds…]
In Wuhun City, within the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong frowned, feeling uneasy as she read Xue Ye's message on the virtual screen.
The live room claimed it could broadcast past, present, and future events. Could it reveal Wuhun Hall's plans? If it did, many of their schemes could be ruined, and her ambitions might fail…
Meanwhile, in the Prince's Mansion of Heaven Dou City, Qian Ren Xue sat in her study, equally uneasy. She feared that her identity might be exposed by this so-called live room. Although she had two Title Douluo protecting her, and could safely return to Wuhun City even if exposed, she was unwilling to have her cover as Prince Xue Qinghe blown after all the effort she had put into infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire.
As the messages continued to scroll across the virtual screen, the conversation turned to the future. After Xue Ye's comment, Star Luo Empire's Emperor, Dai Tianfeng, declared that the future belonged to Star Luo Empire, which immediately sparked a heated argument between the two empires.
But amidst the argument, the live broadcast finally started.
Suddenly, the dark, deep space on the screen transformed into what appeared to be a warehouse. The room was filled with shelves, each packed with various metal objects, leaving little space to move around.
In the warehouse, a disheveled, dirty middle-aged man was holding a carving tool, standing at a metal workbench. He was carefully engraving a cylindrical metal object, muttering incomprehensible words as he worked.
No one could understand the man's language, but after listening for a few moments, the knowledgeable Ning Fengzhi suddenly realized that it seemed to be an ancient language from the Soul Tool Empire era, hundreds of years ago. Could this scene be someone developing a soul tool?
Ning Fengzhi frowned, deep in thought.
And indeed, Ning Fengzhi's guess was correct. In the warehouse-like space, the dirty middle-aged man continued to mutter to himself while meticulously engraving the cylindrical metal object. Finally, as if he had succeeded, the man placed his mouth near the metal cylinder and shouted a few words, then threw his head back in wild laughter.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze.
A line of blood-red text appeared before everyone's eyes, and a cold voice echoed in their ears:
[The broadcast has ended. The quiz begins now!]
[Question: Who is the inventor of the Amplifying Soul Tool?]
[This quiz's reward: One opportunity to evolve a Martial Soul!]
The reward is a chance to evolve a Martial Soul?!
When everyone heard the reward announced by the system, they were momentarily stunned before their bodies began trembling with excitement and joy.
On the Douluo Continent, the most precious treasures for soul masters are soul bones and hundred-thousand-year soul rings. But if one could obtain the opportunity to evolve their Martial Soul, the value of that would far surpass the former! However, because no one knew of anything that could evolve a Martial Soul, soul bones and hundred-thousand-year soul rings were regarded as the most valuable treasures in the soul master world.
But today, this so-called prize quiz live room offered a Martial Soul evolution opportunity as a reward, driving everyone to the brink of madness.
Among them, Ning Fengzhi, Emperor Xue Ye, and Yu Xiaogang were the most excited. All three had long pursued the goal of evolving their Martial Souls, though for different reasons. Ning Fengzhi sought to overcome the limitation of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, which could only reach the Soul Sage level. Emperor Xue Ye wanted the Heaven Dou royal family's strength to match that of the Star Luo royal family, so they wouldn't have to rely solely on external experts. Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, wanted to rid himself of the stigma of being a waste.
Of course, besides these three, everyone else was equally thrilled and excited by the opportunity to evolve their Martial Souls.
"Quick, go find out who invented the Amplifying Soul Tool!" Emperor Xue Ye ordered his attendants, suppressing the excitement in his voice as he issued commands.
In preparation for this second quiz, Xue Ye had stationed people in the palace's library, ready to search through books to find the answer to the quiz.
At the same time, in Star Luo Palace, Wuhun City, Haotian Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Elephant Armored Sect, Dragon Serpent Clan, and other factions, similar orders were being given, though the individuals searching through the libraries varied.
However, compared to these large factions, those without private libraries or archives were in a much more difficult position.
"Damn it! Who the hell knows who invented the Amplifying Soul Tool? There's no way I could know this!" Sitting on his bed in Windmill Village, Lin Yu's face darkened as he cursed in frustration.
In his previous life, although he had read the novels, comics, and watched the anime of the Douluo series, Douluo Continent was ultimately a fictional world. The novels only covered the main plot, leaving out many details about the world. While Lin Yu knew the broad strokes of Douluo Continent's history, he had no clue about the finer details. The inventor of the Amplifying Soul Tool was completely outside his knowledge!
Similarly, in Notting Academy, Yu Xiaogang's face was also grim as he felt increasingly irritated. Why did this quiz have to ask about some historical figure? Why couldn't it ask about soul beasts or soul masters, which were his areas of expertise? If it had, he was sure he could have answered correctly and claimed the reward for himself! Damn it!
As most people were at a loss, with various factions frantically searching through their libraries and archives for the answer, someone suddenly provided the correct answer.
[Ning Fengzhi (smiling): The person you're looking for is named Farnos!]
When Ning Fengzhi's answer appeared on the virtual screen, everyone in the live room was stunned, filled with shock.
No way! Did he find the answer so quickly?!
