How powerful is the Sun Moon Empire?
Without a doubt, it is the strongest of the major Empires.
Moreover, it far surpassed the second-place Star Luo Empire.
In the eyes of the people of the Original Douluo Continent, the Sun Moon Empire was not powerful. After losing the great war thousands of years ago, the Sun Moon Empire's military strength was limited by the agreements made at the time and it did not expand much. Coupled with its status as the loser in that war, most people of the Original Douluo Continent only regarded the Sun Moon Empire as an ordinary Empire that focused on spirit tools.
But that's not the case.
In the continental war thousands of years ago, it was the Shrek Academy that rallied sixty Titled Douluos, ultimately defeating the Sun Moon Empire. Over the millennia, while the Spirit Master system has made some progress, it lags far behind technological advancements. The Spirit Master community is too constrained by the influence of the World; even on the Douluo Continent alone, the average number of individuals possessing innate spirit power and twin spirits has not shown significant improvement.
As for the restrictions on the size of the army.
What era are we living in? Wars still depend on the number of people involved.
The Five Guardians of the Nation, Soul Guidance Corps.
In Original Douluo Continent While the Three Great Empires were still equipping their armies with armor and crossbows, the Sun Moon Empire had already equipped its army with spirit tools.
An individual's fighting strength may not be enough to contend with several times the number of people. But this is a war in which many people fight together, and technology will demonstrate its ultimate power in warfare.
The history of An Zhen has proven that technology is the key factor in determining victory or defeat in war.
Although this is a fantasy world, it is not a high-martial-arts world. The combat power of individuals is still very limited. Apart from Divinity, even Titled Douluo play a little role in continental-level wars. After all, there are only a few Titled Douluo, and beheading them is not something that can be done easily.
" Sun Moon Empire."
The black-haired boy walked down the quiet silver corridor, leaving An Qiuer and Zi Ji in the bedroom.
Ninth-Level Soul Engineer is crucial.
The Holy Spirit Church, possessing over twenty Titled Douluo, including even two Limit Douluo, was able to gain the upper hand in their cooperation with the Emperor and Xu Tianran not merely because the Holy Spirit Church was currently too shady to be seen in the open. Ultimately, this is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and greater power was the fundamental reason that forced the Holy Spirit Church to submit.
" The Ninth-Level Soul Engineer that Grandpa invited this time is named Zhang Feng. This senior engineer is very old and specializes in the development of close combat spirit tools."
Meng Hongchen's voice carried a hint of doubt, "But I heard Grandpa say that he was researching a level nine spirit tool that could attack from high altitudes. Shouldn't he have asked Zhang Feng's friend, that Starry Sky Douluo? " Is His Majesty Ye Yulin coming?
Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin.
Titled Douluo, Class of '92.
He is a genius in the study of spirit tools, and his age and talent are comparable to Mirror Hongchen. He is skilled in various high-altitude spirit tools and is loyal to the royal family.
"Because Zhang Feng is old." An Zhen said something that puzzled Meng Hongchen. "When people get old, they are not as sharp as they were when they were young. After seeing all the ways of the world, they are more likely to compromise on some things."
" Ye Yulin, I've heard my grandfather talk about him before. He's focused on researching spirit tools and doesn't crave power. As a Titled Douluo, he's still very young at only a few decades old. Such a person must be proud."
"Huh?" Meng Hongchen was taken aback.
What is Brother Xiaozhen trying to do?
To target Old Zhang?
Grandpa invited Old Zhang to lure him into a trap.
An Zhen and Meng Hongchen arrived at Mirror Hongchen's laboratory.
"They're here." Mirror Hongchen smiled as she looked at her grandchildren approaching, raised an eyebrow at An Zhen, and then looked at Meng Hongchen again, as if she hadn't done anything.
"Ahem." An Zhen felt his grandfather's teasing gaze. "Let's get the important things done first."
"Hehe." Meng Hongchen hugged An Zhen's arm tightly.
Hmph, the parents admit it, they're childhood sweethearts. All she needs to do next is take one more crucial step, and she'll be able to overtake them all!
"Indeed." Mirror Hongchen nodded slightly, a glint of light flashing in his blue eyes. An invisible probe spread outwards to confirm everything was foolproof. His voice became more serious. "Currently, the Ninth-Level Soul Engineers within Empire, including the five Guardians of the Nation, are all in the Soul Guidance Army. Only the Royal Army and the Imperial Dragon Army are standing near Mingdu. However, they are, after all, active-duty soldiers with special identities, and they are also members of the royal family. It's not easy to make them relax their guard. As initial experimental targets, they are somewhat unstable."
" The same goes for those guys in the Hall of Enshrinement."
" Zhang Feng, Old Zhang, although he holds a high position, he is old after all and has lost the vigor and sharpness of his youth. There is a lack of successors in the family. For the sake of the family, he also accepts offerings from the underground forces of Mingdu in private."
"Weakness." An Zhen slowly uttered the two words.
This was my first time doing it.
We can't use Grandpa as an experiment.
I wonder how Electrolux's master-slave contract works for Ninth-Level Soul Engineers, whether it can be used to force a relationship, and what the specific effects would be.
In this situation, to be on the safe side, it's natural to find an easy target.
"That's right." Mirror Hongchen nodded excitedly at what was about to happen. "Moreover, he has a very good relationship with Wang Ming, and he is like a mentor and friend to Ye Yulin."
Wang Ming.
A Ninth-Level Soul Engineer, similar in age and cultivation level to Zhang Feng, the two shared a deep connection with the starry sky in their early years. Ye Yulin was very helpful, both a teacher and a friend, and the three of them received offerings from the three major underground forces in Mingdu.
Meng Hongchen was somewhat confused.
But I also realized something: Grandpa and Little Zhen really wanted to take action against Old Zhang, or to be precise, against all the Ninth-Level Soul Engineers within the Sun Moon Empire.
I feel inexplicably excited.
"Knock, knock, knock." A knocking sound rang out on the door.
"Enter."
Laughing Hongchen walked in.
After glancing at Laughing Hongchen, An Zhen looked towards the laboratory, which was spacious enough.
The next second, a gray figure appeared beside them.
Smile Meng and her brother were startled by the sudden appearance of the figure, but An Zhen and Mirror Hongchen did not react.
"Teacher," An Zhen said, "do we need to make some preparations?"
"Prepare?" Electrolux nodded slightly. "It's the first time, so we should definitely do some things."
The gray figure raised his hand, and a staff interwoven with black, white, and gold appeared in his hand. The deathly power of the undead and the holy light emerged. Electrolux gently raised the staff and whispered words unknown to Mirror Hongchen and the others. Invisible spirit power outlined in the void, transforming into a strange six-pointed star array. Just one glance at it felt as if one's soul would be sucked away.
An Zhen looked at the somewhat bewildered Smile Meng siblings and smiled, "If you have any questions, just say them."
"Um, Brother Xiao Zhen." Meng Hongchen, who was holding An Zhen's arm, hugged him even tighter. "Who is this senior? What are we doing right now?"
"This is my teacher Electrolux, the same teacher I mentioned earlier. As for what we are doing now, we are purging the court of corrupt officials, or to put it simply, we are rebelling." An Zhen said these words in a calm tone that could terrify anyone.
Smile Meng and her siblings:...
I woke up to find myself a traitor.
"How well is your Spirit Bone absorption going?" An Zhen asked about another matter.
"Level 60 is the bottleneck." Meng Hongchen smiled with joy. "After absorbing the sixth spirit ring, I should be able to reach around level 65."
"Same." Laughing Hongchen was in a good mood when he talked about this.
Spirit power is secondary. Although they spend a considerable amount of time on spirit tools, with their original talents and the help of the Immortal Herb, they will eventually cultivate those spirit powers. The important thing is the spirit ability brought by these 100,000-year-old spirit bones.
On the other side, another strange six-pointed star array was drawn. Electrolux gently waved his staff, and the two six-pointed stars disappeared.
"Alright." Electrolux put away his staff. Although he felt it was a bit of a waste, it was better to be cautious and prudent for the first time.
"I'll wait for Zhang Feng at the entrance of Mingde Hall." Mirror Hongchen said as he left. He and Zhang Feng weren't close friends, but since he was ostensibly inviting him for help, he couldn't forget some of the usual formalities.
"Hmm." An Zhen waited patiently for the last moment.
First Soul Skill, Reflection, Spirit.
The second is spirit ring, mimicry.
True Hongchen's image appeared, with black hair and black eyes, his calm eyes like a bottomless abyss.
Electrolux has quietly disappeared.
wait.
Wait quietly.
It felt like the excitement before a major exam in her past life, but unlike before, An Zhen felt no trepidation this time, but rather anticipation.
With Electrolux around, how could we not conquer the Sun Moon Empire?!
Time passed second by second.
About an hour later.
Footsteps sounded outside the open door.
" Lord Hongchen, you're too kind." A somewhat aged voice rang out, tinged with a polite smile.
A middle-aged man with silver hair and an elderly man with white hair walked into the laboratory, chatting and laughing.
"Oh?" The smiling old man looked at the people in the room, his gaze landing on An Zhen. " Lord Hongchen, and who is this?"
He knew Smile Meng Hongchen.
The Empire's genius.
The twin stars of the Hongchen Family.
He is hailed as the strongest genius in a thousand years.
But this one?
"My little grandson, True Hongchen," Mirror Hongchen began. "This child used to be frail and sickly, and mostly stayed at home, but he has some talent in spirit tools."
"I see." Zhang Feng nodded slightly. Although he had never heard of it before, he had no doubts. The brilliance of the Smile Meng siblings was too dazzling, overshadowing their little brother.
"Xiao Zhen, come up and greet Elder Zhang," Mirror Hongchen said.
Everything is normal.
The children who came to visit greeted the guests.
"Old Zhang." An Zhen stepped forward, his lips moving as if to greet him.
Zhang Feng smiled kindly.
"boom!"
A gray beam of light suddenly shot out from between An Zhen's eyebrows. Before anyone could react, two strange six-pointed star arrays appeared, and the deathly light pierced into Zhang Feng's brow. The expression on his face seemed to have been paused.
In Zhang Feng's spiritual sea.
The ocean, shrouded in twilight, was serene and tranquil. Suddenly, a gray chain descended from the highest point of the sky. Wherever the chain passed, mental force was assimilated into the deathly power of the undead. In what seemed like an instant, countless chains fell like soul-devouring serpents.
