In Progress

Tang San's consciousness understood Tang Wulin's worries and said, "They are indeed close to becoming gods. They could achieve it at any moment."

"But you don't need to worry. The one in the abyss is not easy to deal with. Even if they both become gods, they won't be able to match the abyss. Unless Gu Yuena can become the Dragon God, but that's not a simple thing."

"And even if they are that arrogant, I have other plans to help you grow. All you have to do is practice well and live up to everyone's expectations. You don't have to worry about anything else."

After saying this, Tang San's consciousness went silent. Tang Wulin was used to this, so he didn't ask any more questions.

While they were chatting, many people arrived at the Miracle City Square. They came from all walks of life in the Federation, from heads of major families to leaders of various associations.

As the last group of guests entered, the ceremony officially began. The first to speak was the person in charge of Miracle City, who introduced the situation and future plans of Miracle City. Le Zhengen was responsible for this.

Le Zhengen took the stage and took out a projection device. He injected his soul power into it, and a huge projection of Miracle City appeared on the square. Everyone felt like they were in a miniature version of Miracle City.

Le Zhengen didn't waste any time and started to introduce the functions of each area of Miracle City, including administration, education, research, commerce, residence, and so on. He lit up each area as he introduced it, so that people could see it clearly.

After introducing all the areas, Le Zhengen gave a summary. He said that Miracle City was a comprehensive city that focused on education and research, and that anyone with lofty ideals was welcome to join.

Le Zhengen finished his speech and returned to his seat. Then Yali walked to the stage. She introduced the education system of Miracle City.

Miracle City divided the academy into primary schools, middle schools, and universities. Primary and secondary schools were compulsory education. The curriculum was the same for everyone, regardless of whether they were soul masters or ordinary people.

As for universities, they had different admission standards. They also had different categories, such as comprehensive, political and legal, finance and economics, research, military, normal, art, and so on. Each category had many subdivisions.

Zhuo Shi and Wu Zhangkong from Shrek Academy frowned as they listened to the education system of Miracle City. They didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but they could sense Miracle City's ambitions.

They saw that Miracle City was trying to attract all the talents, but they didn't understand the purpose of Miracle City's actions.

They thought that Douluo Star was a world that valued strength above all. They could understand the research and military academies, but they didn't see the point of politics, law, finance, or even art. They thought that Miracle City was wasting resources on useless things.

In fact, not only Zhuo Shi and Wu Zhangkong were puzzled, but even Yali only learned the reason why Anping did this after talking to him several times.

Yali finished her introduction and returned to her seat. Then Yun Ming walked to the podium. He introduced the laws and regulations of the City of Miracles. He didn't go into detail, but he gave an overview of the categories and their general contents.

He didn't read them out one by one, because that would take too long. He didn't know if anyone would listen, or if they would just be intimidated by his strength.

After Yun Ming, it was Ling Hongchen's turn. He mainly talked about what he was good at, which was the research direction of the Miracle City Soul Guidance Device.

But no one really believed him. The lowest-ranking person in the audience was the leader of a large company. They were not fools. They would never think that Ling Hongchen would reveal the true research direction of the City of Miracles.

Next was Leng Yaozhu. She didn't want to attend the celebration. She had a lot of work to do. But she couldn't find anyone else who was more suitable.

Qiangu Dongfeng would have been a good choice, but since the Qiangu family's joining the City of Miracles was not public yet, he could only sit in the audience as a representative of the Spirit Pagoda.

The introductions by Le Zhengen, Yali, and Yun Ming had given people a refreshing feeling. But the introduction by Leng Yaozhu only shocked them.

She announced that the City of Miracles could mass-produce soul rings and soul bones. The crowd went silent. For a soul master, soul rings and soul bones were more important than battle armor and mechas.

Mecha were external objects after all. They required high skills from soul masters to operate. Battle armor was originally a substitute for soul bones. And for ordinary people, the cost of these two things was much higher than soul bones.

She said that the cost of artificial soul rings was lower than that of souls, and that they could evolve with the soul master. It was even possible to replace the skills in them in the future. The cost of artificial soul bones was lower than that of battle armor and mechas. Qiangu Dongfeng was the first to react. He snorted coldly and left with Qiangu Zhangting.

Le Zhengen, as the person in charge, tried to persuade him to stay. Qiangu Dongfeng pretended to say some harsh words and left without looking back.

After this incident, the audience started to discuss. Most of them questioned its authenticity. Not to mention the cost issue, it seemed too fantastical to be able to evolve independently according to the soul master's training.

But the people from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy believed Leng Yaozhu. They thought that the City of Miracles wouldn't do such a thing at this time. It was an unwise move.

They also thought of Anping and Gu Yuena. They believed that Gu Yuena, as the Silver Dragon King, the clone of the Dragon God, might not be very strong now, but she still had wisdom.

And with the mysterious Anping and the godlike Ditian, the three of them might be able to achieve the artificial soul ring and soul bone technology.

They felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. They knew that the soul ring was the most essential thing for a soul master. If it could be customized, evolved, and changed as Leng Yaozhu had described, it would be bad news for the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.

They wanted to go back and devise a countermeasure, but they couldn't just leave for the sake of their sect and academy.

Their shock was shared by the rest of the world. The celebration was not only for the attendees, but also for the entire federation watching the live broadcast.
