Chapter 138 Soul Master Association, Phone Call
As night fell and the last rays of sunlight faded, the captain and Dugu Xin chatted animatedly around a half-person-high piece of black metal in the tallest building in Donghai City. This was refined gold, a rare metal with excellent soul power conductivity and extremely high strength, making it an ideal material for crafting energy-emitting soul tools.
Unlike the empires on Douluo Continent, the tallest building in the Sun Moon Empire is the tower of the Soul Master Association, which is led by the royal family. Even administrative institutions such as the City Lord's Mansion are shorter than it.
This hints at the status of the Soul Master.
The Sun Moon Empire's research on Soul Masters is not profound, and the strongest Soul Masters to date are not above level 95. However, they have developed level 9 Soul Tools, and their strongest output is by no means weaker than the top powerhouses of the Douluo Continent.
"If you're going to build a Soul Guide Dragon Breath Cannon according to your idea, you don't actually need this much refined gold. A quarter or even a fifth of it would be enough to make the core. The cannon body can be made by melting down the carved materials and ordinary refined iron."
Dugu Xin shook his head and sighed, "I lack the ability, so I can only rely on piling up materials to barely make a level seven soul tool. I plan to keep this soul tool in the family as a clan-protecting artifact, the more sturdy and durable the better."
"I see." The captain nodded. "Then I still recommend using an alloy. Pure refined gold isn't the most durable and long-lasting material; mixing it with a little black iron would be better. Of course, refined gold is perfectly fine for the core."
Dugu Xin pondered for a moment, then said, "Thank you for your guidance, sir."
"If there's anything else you want me to see, just bring it out."
Dugu Xin smiled sheepishly and took out the prepared soul guide blueprints.
"Thank you for your trouble, Master."
There are differences between people.
All Soul Masters in the Sun Moon Empire who abide by the rules will go to the Soul Master Association to get their Soul Master level certified. Although Chi Ping and Dugu Xin's Soul Master levels are only one level apart, this represents the first level of Soul Saint, which is a huge difference.
Furthermore, Dugu Xin is a level 6 Soul Master because his abilities only reach level 6, while Chi Ping is level 7 because, apart from the headquarters, other association branches cannot certify level 8 and level 9 Soul Masters.
The Voyager spent some time in East Sea City, leaving behind a reputation for being upright, powerful, and having no ties with any faction.
Superb skills and abilities, along with a good character and background, are why Dugu Xin sought advice on forging the clan's treasure.
……
The Lord's Mansion, a side room.
Lighting and air circulation temperature control soul tools kept the entire room in a highly comfortable state. Such soul tool systems were already widespread among the middle class throughout the Sun Moon Empire.
Abundant mineral resources and advanced soul-guiding technology enabled the people of the Sun Moon Empire to live a good life even in the feudal era.
Susa is having a remote video call with Bibi Dong.
"Your Majesty, it can be confirmed that this is indeed another continent, with customs, culture, and systems completely different from Douluo Continent!"
Bibi Dong nodded, not surprised by the result; Chi Ping had no reason to lie.
"Can we ascertain the strength of the Sun Moon Empire?"
Su Sha shook his head. "We need to gather more intelligence, but our initial estimate is that they won't be much weaker than the Empire. Soul tools allow low-level Soul Masters to exert the power of high-level Soul Masters, and they can be preserved for a long time. According to the intelligence we've gathered, the Sun Moon Empire has lasted for at least a thousand years and possesses more than one level 9 soul tool."
The power of soul tools lies in their low requirements for users and their ability to accumulate.
Lower requirements mean more users; the ability to accumulate means a vast number of high-level soul tools that can be used simultaneously. The combination of these two factors represents a massive and rapidly evolving power.
For a competent diplomat, an afternoon is enough to gather the necessary intelligence.
Susa toured Donghai City and thus gained a preliminary assessment of the Sun Moon Empire's strength.
If the Sun Moon Empire and the Spirit Empire were to go to war, in a clash of high-level combat forces, the Spirit Empire would need nearly a hundred years to replenish the losses of a Title Douluo, while the Sun Moon Empire would only need a few decades, or even less.
Soul tools can enhance a Soul Master's power, indirectly shortening the growth cycle.
Bibi Dong said seriously, "Such a high evaluation?"
Su Sha nodded. Bibi Dong said, "I understand. Continue to gather intelligence on the Sun Moon Empire, and keep a close eye on the people of Xingluo and Tiandou. We can't let them gain the support of the Sun Moon Empire! Qingluan will follow your instructions."
"May I ask Your Majesty Qingluan..." Su Sha made a gesture.
As her name suggests, Susa is ruthless enough.
Bibi Dong shook her head. "Do you think you can escape Chi Ping's surveillance? He won't allow it. Do you think you can kill someone without his noticing?"
Susa remained silent, recalling the information she had seen before setting off and the captain's behavior throughout the journey.
Countless clones, intelligence control across the continent, unparalleled strength...
"I was being presumptuous."
"Don't do anything unnecessary," Bibi Dong reminded her, "but you can borrow that person's power."
He followed the rules, and now the Life Merchant Guild pays the most taxes in the empire.
As long as you're mindful of boundaries and within the rules, you can use any means necessary. That's something you excel at.
But remember, your primary task is only to prevent Tian Dou and Xing Luo from gaining the support of the Sun and Moon.
A glint of light flashed in Susa's eyes.
Meanwhile, in the rooms of the Star Luo Envoy and the Heaven Dou Envoy, Devon and Murong Nian received similar instructions.
"Ikehira hopes to promote exchanges between the two continents, and this is an opportunity that can be taken advantage of."
Once the emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire realizes his power, he will not go against his wishes.
The establishment of diplomatic relations between the two continents is inevitable. Under this premise, the Sun Moon Empire will at least choose one side to establish cooperation. As long as it doesn't choose the Spirit Hall, it will be a success.
the other side.
"Don't be picky about food. If you really can't get used to the taste there, just call me, and Mom will teach you how to cook. Listen to your husband, study hard, don't be temperamental, and try to be patient with some things. Don't cause trouble for your husband..."
On the screen, Mom and Dad kept nagging, and Miki listened attentively.
Some of what I heard I took to heart, while others I completely ignored.
Having been taught by Chi Shu, who had gained knowledge and culture from another world, for over a year, this girl is not one to passively accept her fate.
When faced with injustice and bullying, throwing a punch is what she should and would do.
Moreover, the captain even taught her martial arts to protect herself while on the ship.
"Okay, goodbye Mom and Dad!"
Miki said goodbye excitedly and promptly hung up the phone. Then she threw herself onto the soft single bed.
"Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy..."
I wonder what it will be like there?
As Miki pondered this, she gradually drifted off to sleep.
Inside the Soul Master Association building, the captain revealed a silent smile.
Two days later, the New World set sail, and half a month later, it docked at Xuanwu City.
