Chapter 3334
Guan Yue naturally had to be modest, "Ah, Hall Master Tang is joking."
"What contributions or not, Xu Sheng is in his current plight because of his dedication to this continent, and it is the duty of every power to rescue him!"
"The federation will certainly do its utmost!"
If they could cling to Xu Sheng's coattails, the federation's predicament might be lifted!
Tang Wulin cast a satisfied glance, "I naturally trust Hall Master Guan, but there is one thing I must remind you of!"
"That is the spatial instability is extremely frequent. The Soul Masters sent to investigate must be stronger; otherwise, it is very likely they will lose their lives!"
Even they, as Ultimate Douluo, felt pressured; if a Soul Ancestor or Grand Soul Master were to go instead, they might become an idiot from the strain or even die!
Guan Yue nodded slightly, "Thank you for the reminder, Hall Master Tang, I will take note of this!"
It seems that the ruins are not so simple!
However, there aren't many soul masters with spatial abilities within the federation; they might have to rely on the power of science!
Just then, a federation member entered from outside, "Report, Hall Master, I have an urgent matter to report!"
Guan Yue asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"
The latter glanced at Tang Wulin and didn't speak immediately…
Instead, hesitatingly said, "Hall Master Guan, this..."
Seeing this, Tang Wulin also realized his presence was affecting them and immediately said, "Hall Master Guan, if you have important matters to discuss, I won't disturb you."
But Guan Yue stopped him first, "Hall Master Tang is not an outsider, speak your mind!"
There was nothing confidential anyway, and this would also show him the federation's sincerity!
Tang Wulin hesitated for a moment, but didn't refuse…
"Alright, since Hall Master Guan trusts me so much, whatever I hear next, I won't reveal it to anyone!"
Guan Yue said nothing, instead gestured with her eyes at the federation member…
The latter understood and honestly reported, "Hall Master, regarding the new type of soul weapon we've been manufacturing, it has been preliminarily completed. We just need to conduct a test before we can deploy it for normal use!"
Tang Wulin's interest was piqued, "A new type of soul weapon? Hall Master Guan, what does this mean?"
The federation was secretly developing new types of soul weapons, and not a word had been leaked to the outside world!
It's probably not just a simple new soul tool!
Guan Yue didn't avoid the topic, but patiently explained, "Hall Master Tang might not be aware, this new type of soul weapon is a product of multi-faceted modifications made to the existing soul tools. It has greatly improved in terms of portability and usability!"
"If Hall Master Tang is interested, you are welcome to accompany me to have a look!"
Tang Wulin politely refused, "That wouldn't be right, would it? It's the federation's secret, after all; I'm just an outsider!"
The pupil of the federation member shrunk, and he couldn't help but remind, "Hall Master, revealing such an important matter…"
Guan Yue, interrupted, scolded, "Is it your place to speak? Don't forget, Hall Master Tang is the second Divine Craftsman after President Zhenhua!"
"This so-called new type of soul weapon is nothing to him!"
The former lowered his head, "Hall Master Guan, I spoke out of turn."
Tang Wulin didn't mind what the federation member said and promptly replied to Guan Yue, "If possible, I would like to take a look and maybe offer some advice!"
Guan Yue agreed almost instantly, "No problem, if you could give some useful advice, it would be beneficial for the perfection of the new type of soul weapon!"
Having said that, she stood up, "Hall Master Tang, let's go, I'll take you there personally!"
Of course, he could not possibly let ordinary federation members take the former; after all, it's important to be on guard!
Tang Wulin also stood up, smiling as he said, "Then I'll have to trouble Hall Master Guan to lead the way!"
Watching them leave together, the gaze of this federation member turned somewhat vacant, "Then what should I... what should I do?"
He hadn't even finished reporting his own matters yet!
Forget it, he thought, the rest of the matters can be reported after Hall Master Tang has left!
...
Following Guan Yue to the Federation Research Room was Tang Wulin...
Looking at the research room's somewhat sparse scientific personnel, he expressed some surprise, "Hall Master Guan, I remember that the federation's research rooms shouldn't have so few researchers, right?"
Guan Yue's expression did not change as he casually responded, "Not to hide it from Hall Master Tang, ever since the Spirit Pagoda started aggressively recruiting Soul Masters, the majority of the federation's researchers left on their own accord to join the Spirit Pagoda!"
"Because of this, the current number of scientific researchers in the federation has decreased to a third of the original number, and even less!"
Tang Wulin had an epiphany, "I see, I thought that the federation's technology was not inferior to the Spirit Pagoda's; there should be more scientific researchers than this. I didn't expect so many to have joined the Spirit Pagoda!"
Thinking about this, he couldn't help feeling somewhat guilty...
If it wasn't for the Spirit Pagoda, perhaps the federation wouldn't be experiencing such a talent drain in the field of scientific research!
Even so, being able to research and develop new soul weapons was a remarkable feat!
Seeming to notice something, Guan Yue said with a light laugh, "Hall Master Tang need not feel guilty; it was the choice of those who left. After all, the potential of the Spirit Pagoda has already surpassed the federation!"
To say that there was no resentment at all would be impossible, but he could understand their decision!
"However, all of this is in the past; for now, let's focus on this new type of soul weapon!"
As he finished speaking, he gestured to the nearest researcher...
Seeing this, the said researcher quickly approached...
"Hall Master Guan, you've arrived. Are you here to check on the progress of the new soul weapon research?"
Guan Yue nodded in affirmation, "Yes!"
Then, the researcher turned to Tang Wulin, looking puzzled, "And this person is?"
Those who could enter here were basically all known to them, but they had no recollection of this individual!
Guan Yue took the initiative to introduce him, "This is the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, Tang Wulin!"
Tang Wulin also gave a slight nod, offering a simple gesture, "Hello!"
Upon realizing this, the researcher scrutinized Tang Wulin carefully and exclaimed, "You are the Sea God Pavilion Master Tang? So young, I must apologize for my earlier behavior!"
In their minds, anyone qualified to succeed the position of the Sea God Pavilion Master had to be of considerable experience and obviously not young!
Yet, it came as a surprise that the current Sea God Pavilion Master was so young!
If it were not for Guan Yue's initiative, he would have even mistaken him for an ordinary member of the federation!
With a subtle intonation, Guan Yue explained, "Since Hall Master Tang has been able to take up this position, his abilities are definitely acknowledged by the other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion; you all shouldn't judge a person by their appearance!"
