Chapter 2103: Extension of Deadline (Please Subscribe)_1
Douling Empire, Soul Guidance Device Research Institute…
Here, every Soul Master of the Douling Empire was gathered, around a hundred strong!
But because of their crude understanding of soul tools, despite abundant resources, they were utterly unable to utilize them effectively…
At this moment, disciples of the Tang Sect Soul Guidance Hall, clad in black attire, were patiently instructing them…
Yet even when starting from the most fundamental issues, the soul masters of the Douling Empire were completely bewildered…
One of the Tang Sect members clasped his forehead and cried out in pain, "It's no use, teaching is impossible; their understanding of soul tools has remained stagnant for tens of thousands of years!"
Another Tang Sect member also showed a look of distress and said, "Yes, they haven't undergone any systematic learning at all, they are all half-baked. In my view, there isn't a single qualified soul master present!"
"What on earth has the Douluo Federation done to seal off soul guidance technology, this Douling Empire… It's just too pitiful!"
"Now I can understand why Emperor Xue Yuntian of the Douluo Empire was willing to exchange so many resources for the core technology of soul tools!"
"No, I must go and report to the emperor of the Douling Empire right away to see if there are any other soul masters that want to teach. It will take years to teach them at least!"
Hearing these words, the soul masters all clenched their fists, but none retorted…
Because they knew very well that these Tang Sect members had been extremely meticulous in the teaching process!
If they still couldn't learn, they could only blame their own stupidity!
It was then that a voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire institute, "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"
As the words fell, Xue Yuntian walked in with an elder beside him…
Upon seeing him, the members of the Tang Sect all bowed deeply and respectfully said, "Your Majesty the Emperor!"
As for the soul masters, they lowered their heads in shame…
Xue Yuntian frowned slightly, "What's going on with them…"
The leading member of the Tang Sect said with a full face of apology, "We apologize, Your Majesty, we have tried our best. No matter how we teach, they are unable to grasp the core techniques of soul tools!"
After hearing this and casting a sidelong glance at the soul masters, Emperor Xue Yuntian said thoughtfully, "So that's how it is… our Douling Empire really has a poor foundation in soul tools; these soul masters have not been subject to systematic learning!"
"That's why they cannot comprehend anything more profound…"
After a pause, he decisively said, "Let's do this, I will extend the timeline. Please trouble the members of the Tang Sect to start from the very basics, everything from scratch, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the Tang Sect members lit up with joy…
Their greatest worry had been time since the initial agreement was to have the soul masters of the Douling Empire capable of manufacturing soul tools within one month!
With the conditions now eased, everything became much simpler!
The leading member of the Tang Sect confidently said, "Your Majesty, if that is the case, then we at the Tang Sect are confident that we can train them into true soul masters!"
Emperor Xue Yuntian nodded slightly, "Very well, I'll leave them in your capable hands then, hoping to see a significant change before too long."
As for the soul masters, seeing that the emperor had not only refrained from blaming them but had also extended the timeline, their cheeks were touched with emotion…
"His Majesty the Emperor, to think… to think he would be so good to us!"
"Damn it, from now on, study as if your life depends on it, and don't let Your Majesty's hopes down!"
"That's right, His Majesty has made a great sacrifice to have the Tang Sect come and teach us. We must not waste this opportunity!"
Seeing his goal achieved, Xue Yuntian chuckled lightly, "Then, everyone continue to study with the Tang Sect disciples; I will take my leave now. If there's anything you need, just let me know!"
Seeing this, everyone said in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
After leaving, the elder exclaimed with admiration, "His Majesty truly lives up to his reputation. With just a few words, he has ignited the competitive spirit of those Soul Masters!"
Emperor Xue Yuntian shook his head, showing not the slightest hint of joy. Instead, he appeared somewhat melancholic and sighed, "Alas, none of this is important!"
"The reason why the Dou Spirit Empire has fallen to its current state is largely my fault! I just hope that everything can be ready before the war arrives!"
He certainly did not wish to see the Dou Spirit Empire meet its demise under his own rule!
The elder remained silent for a moment before responding with utmost seriousness, "Your Majesty, it certainly will be!"
...
At this moment, Xu Sheng and Shen Yi were leisurely watching Tang Wulin and the others on the practice field...
The latter couldn't help but remark, "Xu Sheng, these young ones have already surpassed most of the teachers at Shrek Academy in strength. I'm really curious to see to what extent they will develop the academy in the future!"
She vaguely remembered when Tang Wulin had first entered the academy, he hadn't even met the soul power rank requirements!
Xu Sheng pursed her lips thoughtfully, "Is that so? I think the same! But, there might not be much time left..."
Shen Yi, puzzled, asked, "Not much time left, Xu Sheng, what do you mean by that?"
Before Xu Sheng could reply, Long Yeyue approached them...
Shen Yi greeted respectfully, "Elder Long!"
Long Yeyue nodded in acknowledgment, then turned to Xu Sheng and asked, "Elder Xu, you don't have any engagements today, do you?"
Xu Sheng shook her head, "No engagements."
Seeing this, a flicker of intent passed through Long Yeyue's beautiful eyes, "There are some matters I would like to discuss with you in private!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi tactfully exited the scene...
Xu Sheng glanced at the departing Shen Yi and continued, "Elder Long, now you may speak."
"I hope you can accompany me to a place that might be of great assistance to you…"
Thus, Xu Sheng followed Long Yeyue into the Sea God's Pavilion, but surprisingly, they did not head towards the main hall, instead, they went downstairs...
It was only when they entered a dim, narrow tunnel that Long Yeyue pressed a secret compartment on the wall...
She then explained, "This is the secret tunnel of the Sea God's Pavilion that leads directly to where the academy's secrets are stored. Only the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion are entitled to enter!"
At the same time, the narrow tunnel began to change drastically as the walls that had appeared sealed expanded rapidly to both sides….
"Humming…"
Finally, when everything quieted down, a secret room suddenly appeared before their eyes!
Upon entering, a hint of nostalgia flickered across Long Yeyue's face.
But Xu Sheng couldn't help interrupting, "Elder Long, what is it that you wanted to show me here?"
Long Yeyue did not deny it and said earnestly, "That's right. If I'm not mistaken, Elder Xu, you have always struggled with the bottleneck of becoming an Ultimate Douluo, haven't you?"
"Here, there are records of the attempts and failures of previous Sea God Pavilion Masters to break through the Hundredth Level."
After hearing this, Xu Sheng fell into silence...
So it seemed, Long Yeyue hoped that she could use these experiences to achieve a breakthrough to godhood!
