Chapter 21: The Beginning of the Spirit Tools

Chapter 21: The Beginning of the Spirit Tools

In just one night, the Dragon Extreme Sect, which had been reigning supreme in the capital city of the Silviya Kingdom, Sil City, for over ten years, was completely annihilated. This was undoubtedly a major earthquake for the entire Sil City.

As people were constantly guessing about this sudden emergence of the Nine Star Palace, the Nine Star Palace sent people to distribute money, treasure, and goods to comfort the families who had suffered from the oppression of the Dragon Extreme Sect in the past.

They also sent several dozen evil Dragon Extreme Sect disciples, who had their soul power removed, to the homes of the victims for them to deal with.

For a while, there was another major upheaval among the people, and countless civilians spontaneously made advertisements for the Nine Star Palace, saying that they were the righteous alliance that removed evil and acted on behalf of heaven.

As for the officials, they could not even suppress the Dragon Extreme Sect, let alone easily destroy the Dragon Extreme Sect's Nine Star Palace. Moreover, the Nine Star Palace's way of doing things was clearly different from the Dragon Extreme Sect.

In the past, the Dragon Extreme Sect caused countless troubles in the city, but now that the Dragon Extreme Sect had been destroyed, the city's public order had improved a lot. They would be crazy to go and find trouble with the Nine Star Palace.

After occupying the precious land where the Dragon Extreme Sect was originally located, the Nine Star Palace demolished and rebuilt the mountain gate on one hand, and successively destroyed several sects with great public grievances on the other hand.

Not only did they establish a good reputation in the Soul Master world, but they also obtained a large amount of wealth.

However, this way of making money was definitely not a long-term plan. For the long-term plan, Xiao Yu must create a steady stream of income for the sect.

In the original work, the Tang Sect's largest source of funds was the sale of hidden weapons. Even during the period of Shrek Academy, Tang San sold 500 sets of full-set hidden weapons of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan and earned 5 million gold soul coins.

However, because hidden weapons were not a product of the original Douluo Continent, the system mall did not sell hidden weapon manufacturing methods. But Xiao Yu discovered the existence of something better than hidden weapons in the system mall - spirit tool manufacturing.

The spirit tool was a theme of the Douluo II period and the fundamental reason for the decline of the Tang Sect's hidden weapons. It was a technology that spread to the Douluo Continent after the collision between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent.

However, the spirit tool was not a technology that only the Sun Moon Continent had. In fact, the Douluo Continent should also have the inheritance of the spirit tool. It was just that for some reason, it had been lost, and only a few storage spirit tools, such as Tang San's Twenty-Four Moonlight Bridges, had been passed down.

It was very fortunate that the system's spirit tool inheritance was complete. Not only did it have the manufacturing of storage spirit tools, but it also had the technology for manufacturing attack-type spirit tools with powerful attack power.

There were many types of spirit tools, including close-range spirit tools, remote spirit tools, fixed-installation spirit tools, storage spirit tools, auxiliary spirit tools, flight spirit tools, and defensive spirit tools.

In Xiao Yu's understanding, close-range spirit tools were actually somewhat similar to the Tang Sect's hidden weapons, except that spirit tools were powered by soul power and had greater killing power.

Of course, this comparison was purely relative to the most common hidden weapons of the Tang Sect. Compared to those hidden weapons that could threaten the sealed-number Douluo or even injure gods, such as the top hidden weapons like Guanyin's Tears, Buddha's Anger Tang Lotus, and Torrential Rain Pear Blossom Needles, the spirit tools were still inferior.

Xiao Yu suspected that the reason why the Tang Sect declined so rapidly in the Douluo II period was related to Tang San's concealment of the inheritance of these top hidden weapons.

Remote spirit tools and fixed-installation spirit tools were also spirit tools with attack power. Remote spirit tools were a type of spirit tool that launched remote attacks by injecting soul power. Compared to close-range spirit tools, they had slightly weaker power within a certain range.

Fixed-installation spirit tools were a new type of spirit tool developed in the Douluo II period and did not appear in the system's spirit tool inheritance exchange.

Its principle was very simple - it divided the spirit tool and the attack weapon into two parts, and the spirit tool only played a role in launching and detonating. It had enormous power, consumed very little soul power, but was difficult to position.

Storage spirit tools, as the name suggested, were spirit tools that could store items and were still being passed down in the Douluo Continent.

The most typical representative of auxiliary spirit tools was the milk bottle, which could be used to restore the soul power of soul masters.

Defensive spirit tools were spirit tools with defensive capabilities, such as shields, protective gear worn on the body, and light shields that enveloped the competition arena. The most common one was the protective shield of the Douluo II period.

Flight spirit tools were spirit tools that could be worn on the body and injected with soul power to gain flight capabilities.

In Xiao Yu's plan, the sect would focus on close-range spirit tools and defensive spirit tools in the beginning. These two types of spirit tools were like a gospel for auxiliary system soul masters.

As long as they were released, there would be no worry about not having a market.

Especially for the only one among the three upper sects who had no attack power, Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, as long as he saw the power of the spirit tools, Xiao Yu was not afraid that he would come to him on his own.

As for the fact that the soul masters of the original three countries of Douluo in Douluo II were very resistant to spirit tools, Xiao Yu thought that the soul masters of Douluo Continent were not so much rejecting spirit tools as they were rejecting the Sun Moon Continent.

In the original work, it was mentioned many times that without spirit tools, the soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire would not be able to compete with the soul masters of Douluo Continent.

Over time, this had become a prejudice of the original soul masters of Douluo.

The more they understood the role of spirit tools between the soul masters of the two continents, the more they wanted to prove themselves by relying on their own cultivation to defeat soul tool masters of the same level, in order to suppress the Sun Moon Empire.

Of course, the cost of this was also extremely heavy.

If it were not for a god-level expert intervening, with the advantage of spirit tool technology, the Sun Moon Empire would have almost unified the original Douluo Continent.

However, in the Douluo I world, the Sun Moon Continent had not yet collided with the Douluo Continent, and Xiao Yu's Nine Star Palace was also a native force of Douluo.

They proposed spirit tool technology, which would definitely not be crazily rejected by soul masters like in Douluo II.

Otherwise, before Tang San appeared, there was no concept of hidden weapons in Douluo Continent. At most, there was Meng Yiran who made large-sized flying knives, which were still far from hidden weapons. No one was seen rejecting the existence of hidden weapons.

Ning Fengzhi bought hidden weapon equipment from Tang San for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan disciples, and the Tang Army of the Heaven Dou Empire was established with hidden weapons as the main force. No one was seen strongly opposing it.

...

After establishing a foothold in the Silviya Kingdom, Xiao Yu began to act as a boss, arranging the general direction and then closing the door to study spirit tools. He left most of the sect's affairs to Mu and Xuanwu to handle.

Mu was a disciple of Pope Shi Dong of the Holy Church. After the Sacred War was settled, Tang Hu, the youngest of the five elders, controlled the layout of the Holy Church from Mount Five Elders, and most of the Holy Church's affairs were handled and controlled by Mu.

Xuanwu was also a person with a broad vision in the Ω era. Whether it was in the Mars chapter or the Palas chapter, he had an extraordinary performance. With these two people in charge, Xiao Yu was extremely relieved.
