Douluo: The True Eye

Under the leadership of Du Bu Si, many Soul Douluo and above experts in the Body Sect had already gathered.

At the same time, they had also formed a loose alliance in secret with forces that were eyeing the treasure and True Dragon Egg because the Star Luo Empire had secretly spent 100 million gold soul coins to issue a treasure hunt mission for Mingde Hall in the mainland adventurer's guild.

While the members of the alliance were wary of each other and concealed their identities, this group of forces with ulterior motives was already preparing to test Mingde Hall.

"Sect Master, are these oddballs really useful?" A Titled Douluo from the Body Sect asked, puzzled.

"Let them make a fuss first. Only when the water is muddied can we come into play."

The members of the Body Sect nodded repeatedly and went to prepare according to Du Bu Si's arrangements.

However, although this so-called treasure hunt alliance has taken shape, it will probably be a while before a real action and general attack is launched against Mingde Hall.

After all, the various forces have to cooperate with each other and reach a tacit understanding, while also weakening the strength of Mingde Hall.

And this time is just right for the Body Sect to make a feint to the east while attacking in the west.

Because the fundamental purpose of the Body Sect is different from that of other forces, their real goal is to take away as much of the basic soul tool system in Mingde Hall as possible and plunder the low-level soul tool researcher personnel.

High-level soul tool masters themselves have high cultivation levels, making them difficult to control and influence by various means. At the same time, the weak soul tool system of the Heaven Soul Empire and the Body Sect's homeland, which is almost non-existent, cannot support the work and research of high-level soul tool masters.

But low-level soul tool masters are different. There are many Body Soul Masters in the Body Sect who are good at mental power.

And for those soul tool masters who are relatively weak, the strength of the Body Sect Soul Masters can be described as a dimensionality reduction strike. As long as these plundered low-level soul tool masters can be brainwashed and controlled.

Then, by utilizing the basic soul tool system and slightly polishing it, it will not take much time to put it into use, and the Heaven Soul Empire and the Body Sect can also cultivate their own soul tool masters.

As for the seventh-level and above high-level soul tools, these cannot be replicated by simply grabbing blueprints or having theoretical knowledge.

And every seventh-level or higher soul tool master needs to spend a lot of rare metals and time to cultivate from a young age.

Therefore, the Body Sect's goal for seventh-level and above soul tools is not on the blueprints, but on the soul tools themselves.

In short, the Body Sect's concept for this operation is to grab blueprints and soul masters at the low level to build their own military industry system.

High-level soul tools will be directly snatched. Taking away one more means the Sun Moon Empire will have one less. Just take it and use it directly.

In the Far North.

Since last year, the Ice Emperor has greatly reduced the time she spends in her own territory, and most of the time she stays in the Snow Emperor's territory.

Although her clansmen are puzzled by this behavior, no one dares to raise any questions to the Ice Emperor.

As the three great heavenly kings of the Far North, the territory ratio of the Snow Emperor, the Ice Emperor, and the Titan Snow Demon King is not equal, and can even be said to be inversely proportional to their strength.

The weakest Titan Snow Demon King occupies the largest territory in the Far North, but its territory is also the farthest away from the core area of the Far North, almost on the edge of the core area of the Far North.

This is also because the huge Titan Snow Demon clan needs the most vast territory to support the survival of its clansmen.

The territory occupied by the Ice Emperor is in the middle of the core area of the Far North.

The Ice Jade Scorpions abandoned the venom ability of ordinary scorpion soul beasts and embraced the power of extreme ice.

Every Ice Jade Scorpion needs to be at a very low temperature to move and grow normally. Otherwise, low-level Ice Jade Scorpions may even experience discomfort.

The territory owned by the Snow Emperor is in the most core area of the Far North, but it is also the smallest in overall area.

The most core area of the Far North is not a frozen land with no vitality like other areas of the Far North, but a lake.

A lake that condenses the most concentrated heaven and earth aura in the Far North, with rippling blue waves, as if overflowing with some kind of different vitality, and wind and snow gather around it, as if elves are playing here.

In the center of the lake is a small island formed of ice.

The temperature here has reached the level of extreme ice, even colder and harsher than ordinary extreme ice. Therefore, even in the Far North, few creatures would rashly come here.

Even for the Ice Emperor, who was previously a fierce beast and one of the three great heavenly kings of the Far North, this place cannot be considered a suitable place to live.

Because in addition to the extremely low temperature factor here, there is also the fact that only those who are favored by the Far North can be nourished by the aura of this place.

Otherwise, others who come here will only suffer in vain. But the past is the past, and now is now.

After obtaining a portion of the Snow Emperor's original source energy, the Ice Emperor can now also use the aura of this place to nourish herself.

In addition to using the aura of this place to nourish herself, in order to recover from her injuries, increase her strength, and make her next tribulation crossing more certain.

The most important purpose of the Ice Emperor coming here is to protect the Snow Emperor, who has now transformed into a human form.

At this time, a year has passed since the Snow Emperor transformed. Even if she used the 100,000-year snow lotus to forcibly seal her original source power for transformation.

So that the Snow Emperor can still normally retain some of her previous original source power after transformation and rebuild.

Therefore, even if the Snow Emperor does not use the breath of humans, she can use the favor of the Far North to cultivate without violating the laws of heaven and earth, and can also use the original source power to quickly increase her cultivation.

It's just that the current Snow Emperor only has the strength equivalent to a Soul Sage level human soul master.

Although the Snow Emperor also possesses the ultimate attribute, as a Soul Sage, her strength is vastly different from the previous Snow Emperor.

Many things that she could originally do now require the help of the Ice Emperor to avoid revealing flaws, so as not to shake the situation in the Far North.

Therefore, to prevent any accidents during the Snow Empress's reconstruction, or to help her at any time, the Ice Empress has been guarding her side during this period.

Moreover, this protection is necessary, because if it weren't for the Ice Empress's protection, the Snow Empress would have been interrupted by a human Rank 9 Soul Guidance Master when she was transforming.

Fortunately, the furious Ice Empress was present and directly killed him, allowing the Snow Empress to complete the transformation process smoothly without any other accidents.

However, even with the power of a Ferocious Beast, the Snow Empress's reconstruction has its limits.

To help the Ice Empress overcome her next tribulation, the Snow Empress also divided a portion of her own origin power for her to absorb.

In addition, due to the constraints of the laws of heaven and earth, a portion of the Snow Empress's own origin power had already returned to the Land of Extreme Ice during her transformation.

Therefore, the origin power she currently possesses, sealed within her body, is only about thirty to forty percent of her peak state, and this portion of origin power is only enough for the Snow Empress to cultivate to the Rank 90 bottleneck.

Generally, when a 100,000-year Soul Beast reconstructs, after obtaining the seventh Soul Ring as its Martial Soul True Body, the origin power it has accumulated before will be exhausted, and the eighth and ninth Soul Rings need to be obtained on their own.

As a Ferocious Beast, even if half of the Snow Empress's origin power returned to the Land of Extreme Ice due to her reconstruction,

the remaining half would be enough for her to condense the ninth Soul Ring, but in order to increase the Ice Empress's chances of successfully overcoming the tribulation,

after the Snow Empress further divided her own origin power, the remaining origin power was no longer enough to help her condense the ninth Soul Ring.

Because Soul Beast reconstruction also has its strengths and weaknesses. As a Ferocious Beast reconstructing with the ultimate attribute, the Snow Empress, the energy consumed for each Soul Ring condensed and the energy required for each realm improvement are far greater than those of ordinary 100,000-year Soul Beast reconstruction.

Therefore, even with the help of the 100,000-year Snow Lotus to seal her own origin, completing the reconstruction, the Snow Empress must enter human society like an ordinary 100,000-year Soul Beast after reaching the Rank 90 bottleneck.

Unless she can obtain a God-bestowed Soul Ring from legends, or if there is a pure and extremely powerful ice-attribute origin power to supplement her, the Snow Empress can condense the ninth Soul Ring on her own.

Otherwise, the Snow Empress also needs to use human 'aura' to wash away her original identity as a Soul Beast, so as to integrate into human society and conform to the laws of heaven and earth before she can normally hunt other Soul Beasts to fuse with the ninth Soul Ring.

"Bing'er, how is your injury recovery going?"

The Snow Empress, who looked like a human girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, gently stroked the crystal-clear and beautiful emerald green diamond carapace of the giant scorpion in front of her.

The Ice Empress responded, "Although my injuries have gradually begun to recover with the help of the Ice God Lake's energy, I'm afraid it will take at least ten years to remove all hidden dangers."

"But I have a premonition that my next tribulation will definitely come within three years." Speaking of this, the Ice Empress's tone also became a little low. The closer she got to the tribulation, the greater the pressure in her heart.

The Snow Empress was also silent for a long time. Three years, there were still three years left.

By that time, even if she absorbed all of her origin power, she would not be able to break through the bottleneck, and no matter how the origin power was arranged, the remaining part would only be able to restore her to her former strength and make one more move.

However, the Ferocious Beast's tribulation is a hindrance set by heaven and earth, and it is impossible to have only one wave of tribulation. Even if she can take action to resist one for the Ice Empress, it will at most increase the success rate by half a percent.

"I only hope that the sacrifice of that little fox can really exchange for a glimmer of hope for you, Bing'er." The Snow Empress sighed.

If it weren't for the fact that she and the Ice Empress were both approaching their lifespan limits, she would not have risked reconstruction. Otherwise, with her cultivation, as long as she existed, the status of the Land of Extreme Ice would not be shaken.

At this time, Shrek Academy.

After Huo Yuhao left, for some reason, the Clear Sky School also recalled Wang Dong to the sect.

Even if he was unwilling, Mu En had to let him leave, but he had already had psychological expectations before.

Now, among the original Shrek reserve team, only Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and Xiao Xiao are still in the school.

Ning Tianye was also recalled by her sect like Wang Dong and dropped out of school. It is said that something happened in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, so she, the young sect master, was recalled.

Now, Mu En's main energy is focused on Bei Bei, Jiang Nannan, and Xiao Xiao.

Jiang Nannan, whose Martial Soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit, can only be regarded as having average potential for cultivation, while Xu Sanshi, who has the bloodline of the Douling Empire's royal family and the identity of the Xuanming Sect.

Mu En's main training targets are Bei Bei and Xiao Xiao. Bei Bei is Mu En's great-grandson, and his bloodline and talent are the most compatible with him.

Xiao Xiao is a rare twin Martial Soul. If she can be cultivated, she will be enough to add a backbone force to Shrek Academy.

On the surface, in addition to the four of them, this year's Shrek main team has also supplemented three other promising outer court students, exceptionally allowing them to join the inner court in advance and enjoy the resources of the inner court for cultivation.

But this is just Shrek Academy and Mu En's preparations on the surface for the next All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition held in the Sun Moon Empire.

In fact, in the dark, the students with the most resources invested by Shrek Academy besides Bei Bei and Xiao Xiao are not Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister of the inner court, but Ma Xiaotao.

The Dark Phoenix Martial Soul is so powerful that even at the Soul Sage level, she possesses combat power comparable to a Title Douluo. Although the mutation of the Martial Soul can no longer be corrected, in order to leave a trump card for the future Shrek Academy,

Mu En still cultivated Ma Xiaotao in secret, and now Ma Xiaotao, after his observation, can be considered controllable.

In addition, under the multiple movements of Mu En and the Sea God Pavilion Elders, the original Three Kingdoms of the Douluo Continent have also begun to form a not-so-strong alliance against the Sun Moon Empire.

After all, if we have to talk about new and old grudges, the internal conflicts of the original Three Kingdoms of Douluo, which have been fighting in the original Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years, are even greater than the hatred with the Sun Moon Empire.

The previous friction between the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, the grievances between the Heaven Soul Empire and the Douling Empire, the contradictions among them have long been too numerous to sort out, but they are just helpless to each other.

If it weren't for the emergence of the Sun Moon Empire, which could overturn the entire continent and directly reshuffle the original social system, I am afraid that the first to fight would be the original Three Kingdoms of Douluo.
