Douluo: Humans are peerless, fake gods

he……

Not a saint.

Su Luoheng will face this cause and effect, this sin, and the responsibility that he should bear calmly.

But please be honest and open-minded.

That's all...that's all.

…

…

The leaders of the five Hand of the Nation Soul Engineer Corps obeyed the emperor's orders, gathered their troops, and began training intensively according to Su Luoheng's orders.

Of course, this is all done in secret.

Naturally, the fewer people who know, the better. Therefore, except for the departure time, which was scheduled for the time of the Soul Fighting Competition, not even Emperor Xu Jinyu was informed about the rest of the Soul Mentor Group.

This is the only example of this kind of trust between monarch and ministers.

Soul contract, yyds!

【……】

As the dinner ended, the news that Xu Jinyu was about to restart the Soul Fighting Competition in Mingdu was also deliberately spread.

The news was like having wings and spread very quickly. Before the envoys from the three empires returned home, it was already presented to the emperor.

Now even if I want to pretend to be ignorant, I can't do it anymore.

The result was just as Su Luoheng expected: although the three empires expressed strong dissatisfaction and condemnation of the Sun and Moon Empire for unilaterally restarting the Soul Fighting Competition without a joint meeting.

But no matter how the three empires complained, they could not change the result of the restart of the Soul Fighting Competition. Even if he knew that there was something fishy about Sun Moon Empire's move, he still had to bite the bullet and follow it.

With no other choice, he had no choice but to instruct the sects of the major colleges under the empire to actively prepare for the competition and select their strongest players to form a team to compete. And promised a lot of benefits for winning the championship.

At the same time, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy also began to select participants. Brother and sister Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were the first choices. The strength of the two people has already broken into the lead.

However, except for Lan Xiu who was successfully selected for the last reserve team, several other members were replaced by new faces.

In addition to talented students like Nana who have accumulated a lot of experience, there are also students like Tang Wutong who stand out from the crowd.

In general, although Su Luoheng did not participate this time, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy took the lead with the combat power of three soul saints.

(Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen took fairy grass, so they were promoted from the original Soul Emperor to Soul Sage. Tang Wutong had a good father, and being promoted to Soul Sage was as easy as eating and drinking.)

…

…

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the soul fighting competition was about to begin.

Just four months ago, the Mingdu Organizing Committee announced the specific requirements, rules, and prizes for this year’s competition.

Most people on Douluo Continent who want to become soul masters have no other choice than joining a sect force or a soul master and soul mentor academy.

The degree of freedom in the academy is higher, it will not bind the soul master's future, and there are no strict rules. The enrollment is wide and it is the first choice of most soul masters.

Of course, this does not mean that the threshold for all soul master academies is very low. For example, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Shrek Academy, and academies directly under the three major empires all have requirements for talent.

But these are only a few.

The sect's forces have higher requirements and only recruit soul masters with extraordinary talents. For example, only the noumenon sect enrolls noumenon martial souls. However, although the sect has strict requirements, it attaches great importance to the safety of its disciples.

Generally speaking, the two paths of sect and academy have their own advantages and disadvantages.

But the academy is equivalent to cultivating talents for the country, while the sect is cultivating private soldiers and strengthening itself.

In addition, there is a precedent for Xingguan Sect to replace the Dai royal family and take charge of the Xingluo Empire. No one in the four major empires wants to raise a tiger to cause trouble.

Therefore, they kept secretly suppressing the sect forces and vigorously supported the establishment of the college.

As a result, with the strong support of the four major empires, the sect's power declined day by day, its reputation faded, and it became increasingly difficult to recruit disciples, unable to replenish it with fresh blood.

In this way, without using a sword or a gun, the sect's power began to decline on its own.

I don’t know how many sects have lost their inheritance and declined due to the shortage of talents and the lack of succession... and finally disappeared silently in the long river of history.

As for this Soul Fighting Competition, restrictions have been relaxed. The major sects within the four empires will definitely not miss this opportunity to become famous, especially the three ninth-level soul tools as the championship prizes. This is a real good thing, more valuable than soul bones.

As a result, talented disciples were sent out one after another.

Therefore, the appeal of this Soul Fighting Competition is far greater than any previous one.

As the registration deadline approaches, the number of participating teams that have come to Mingdu to sign up has reached 458. Coupled with the tourists and local residents who come here to visit, it can be said to be a huge crowd and lively.

Fortunately, the Sun and Moon Empire had anticipated this scene six months ago, so it expanded a large number of hotels in advance.

Fortunately, Mingdu does not have a city wall, so it can be expanded directly on the outside. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so much free land. All teams and tourists were able to settle into the competition hotel smoothly.

Although there are many people, Mingdu is not at all as crowded and chaotic as Xingluo City was back then. Guards wearing silver armor patrolled the streets from time to time, and everything seemed orderly.

In this regard, the Sun Moon Empire's services far exceeded any previous soul fighting competition.

But this excitement was destined to miss Su Luoheng.

【……】

Demonic forest.

At the site of the original Holy Spirit Sect, a group of thousands of soul mentors was now getting ready to go.

The leader is Su Luoheng.

Beside him were Snow Emperor and Xu Han.

The group of a thousand people behind the two people were selected from the best of the five ace soul instructor groups: Terror Claw, Fire Phoenix, Evil Lord, Emperor Dragon, and the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Group.

There are seven ninth-level soul masters in the team, five of whom were specially transferred back from the Enshrinement Hall for this blitzkrieg.

There are eighty-seven eighth-level soul masters in total. The rest are all seventh-level and sixth-level soul engineers.

Moreover, all soul guides equipped by soul masters, from level nine to level six, are all re-created by Mingdetang to a unified standard.

This is also the main reason why Xu Jinyu decided to restart the Soul Fighting Competition half a year later.

Not to mention anything else, in the past six months, just configuring the soul guide has cost the Sun and Moon Empire nearly five years of total treasury revenue.

The Sun Moon Empire's current financial situation is tight, especially the Enshrinement Hall, which is now a bottomless gold sink. A giant gold-eating beast.

Although ultra-ancient soul tools are promising in the future, they require a large investment of resources in the early stage. And in a short period of time, there will be no returns from this project. It takes a long time to post.

Now, the monthly expenses of the worship hall are equivalent to half a year's tax revenue of a small city.

Therefore, if Xu Jinyu had not fought against all opinions and coupled with Kong Lao's great help, it would have been difficult to assemble this thousand-person soul mentor group. Not to mention the soul guides each member is equipped with.
