Reincarnation Empire

"Haha, I feel like I'm bursting with vitality now!"

Chen Dong sprang straight up from the ground. Feeling the surging Life Force within him, he summoned the Wolf Lord Broadsword and began swinging the divine weapon in the courtyard!

Lightning and fire intertwined. As the Wolf Lord moved, thunder and flames actually blanketed the entire small courtyard. The power of lightning took on the shape of blades, and in an instant, the whole yard was filled with flashes of blade light.

The blade light seemed highly sentient, even changing direction when it neared Chen Ming.

"Haha, this feeling of wielding it as easily as my own arm really is exhilarating!"

"I told you, the most crucial part of my Wolf Lord is these two elemental attributes!"

"Blade Technique-type soul skills? I can comprehend Blade Techniques myself. What I need is control over the elements!"

The more Chen Dong swung his blade, the more excited he became. The lightning and fire filling the sky grew increasingly condensed, and the blade-shaped lightning seemed to truly turn into countless swords, making people want to reach out and grasp them.

"What profound comprehension of Blade Techniques," Electrolux marveled.

"Although my martial soul never awakened when I was young, I never stopped dreaming of becoming a soul master. I practiced Blade Techniques for twenty years, and now I can finally make them real!" Chen Dong said excitedly.

Physical blades came with too many restrictions, preventing him from displaying much of his understanding. Now, using the two elements of lightning and fire, he gradually brought all his past insights to life.

After practicing for half an hour, everything in the courtyard finally quieted down. It was not because Chen Dong had had enough, but because he had run out of Soul Power.

"Right, Little Ming, my Soul Power has increased by so much. I think I've reached level forty?" Chen Dong said uncertainly.

"Definitely. Thunderfire Heavenly Bamboo is an immortal herb. It can probably raise your Soul Power to at least level forty-two, and level forty-three is possible too."

Chen Dong's eyes widened.

There was more?

Even sensing that his Soul Power had reached level forty already felt unreal to him, and he had not dared to be certain.

Now Chen Ming was telling him that another two, or even three, levels had yet to manifest?

Only then did Chen Dong truly understand the significance of an immortal herb.

It had not only restored vitality to his body and made up for the flaw of his late martial soul awakening, but also allowed him to wield the two major attributes of lightning and fire as effortlessly as his own limbs, even to the point of instinct. And this was lightning-fire power that had fused together.

Beyond those two effects, it had another obvious yet extremely important function: raising Soul Power!

Four levels were not the limit. It was simply that he could not see any further increase before obtaining his fourth soul ring.

"Old Chen, there's another very important matter I came to discuss with you."

Chen Ming took a deep breath, his tone turning serious.

"What is it?"

"I want you to help me lead an army."

"Huh? What the hell are you talking about?" Chen Dong asked in astonishment.

"Which empire have you pledged allegiance to?"

"No, not one of the four great empires of Douluo Continent. It's a nation on another continent. I'm planning to head there now and conquer that country," Chen Ming said.

Chen Dong's eyes widened like brass bells, thoroughly shocked by Chen Ming's words.

There was another continent beyond Douluo Continent?

"What do you think, Old Chen? Interested?"

Chen Dong swallowed. Without even hesitating, he agreed.

"Of course. That said, if I'm leading troops for you, I'll be the highest-ranking general, right?"

"Of course," Chen Ming said.

"Good!"

Six thousand years ago, Sun Moon Continent had collided with the original Douluo Continent. The two continents merged, forming the Douluo Continent of today.

Beyond today's Douluo Continent, two smaller continents still lay deep within the ocean.

After perfecting his method of reincarnation, Chen Ming had naturally tried to search for those two continents.

Drawing on the accumulation of his fourth and fifth lives, he created the first Soul Guiding Aircraft, completed the expedition, and reached one of those continents. He named it Reincarnation Continent.

Chen Ming had considered laying the groundwork for his future reincarnations, but he could not trust outsiders.

Even blood descendants would struggle to stand firm against a clearly documented god without knowing the truth.

Yet if he told his family about reincarnation, news would inevitably leak, and he would become a target.

Chen Ming's method of reincarnation was not invincible. If Tang San truly learned of it and specifically intercepted him, it would become a fatal danger.

Unable to rely even on blood descendants, Chen Ming chose to cultivate a prototype.

He would lay the foundation for a force that could guide his future selves through reincarnation.

When Chen Ming first discovered Reincarnation Continent, it was still in a barbaric age. Under his influence, it began moving toward unification and establishing a unified order.

He had given the empire no instructions. Even the process of its unification had nothing to do with him.

He had merely imparted one concept—unification.

Once that concept existed, people would naturally put it into action and bring it into practice.

Now, Chen Ming was preparing to subdue this empire, then draw elite forces from it and contend for supremacy on Douluo Continent.

"Old Yi, do you have any ability that would make it convenient for me to move troops on a large scale?"

After some thought, Electrolux introduced his Undead Demiplane to Chen Ming.

"I'll have to trouble you when the time comes."

"It's only opening the demiplane twice. I received your Death God Position. Even if you asked me for this Undead Demiplane, I wouldn't refuse."

Shrek Academy.

Soul Fighting Area.

Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin stood facing each other.

There were not many spectators outside the arena, only Bei Bei, Tang Ya, Zhou Yi, Zhu Lu, and a few others.

Huo Yuhao's gaze was filled with intense hostility, and his savage expression made people's hearts turn cold.

Judging from his ferocious appearance alone, Huo Yuhao seemed as though he wished he could skin Dai Huabin alive.

Even the usually indifferent Dai Huabin could not help frowning, subconsciously wondering what exactly he had done to make Huo Yuhao hate him so deeply.

Could it be that he had insulted his mother?

Or that he had looked down on his one-ring cultivation and suggested the academy expel him?

Dai Huabin's furrowed brow relaxed.

He raised an eyebrow at Huo Yuhao across from him.

No matter what the source of their conflict was, his cultivation of three rings and level thirty-two was not something a one-ring soul master could challenge!

Watching the posture of the two on the arena, Zhou Yi narrowed her eyes. Her aged face revealed neither joy nor anger.

"Huo Yuhao, you need to understand that Shrek Academy encourages competition, but that does not mean you can mindlessly provoke others."

Zhou Yi offered a reminder. Seeing that Huo Yuhao gave no response, she did not try to persuade him further.

"Since you both insist, I'll serve as the referee for this match. This battle ends at the proper point."

She walked to the center of the arena and raised her hand, signaling both sides to prepare.

Once they were ready, she announced, "Begin!"

Both sides released their soul rings.

Dai Huabin had a full three soul rings: two yellow and one purple, the optimal configuration. The pressure brought by the fluctuations of his level thirty-two Soul Power was immense.

Yet Huo Yuhao seemed utterly unable to feel the difference in their Soul Power.

Outside his body, a white soul ring pulsed up and down without any distinguishing features.

There were no golden patterns, no crystalline jade-like radiance—only pure white.

His eyes instantly turned blood-red.

Wind blades appeared spinning in both eyes. Three spiraled within his left eye, while four formed windmill shapes in his right.

"Hmph, today I'll tell you this: weaklings must pay a price for provoking the strong!" Dai Huabin sneered as he looked into Huo Yuhao's eyes. "Mental attribute soul skills are indeed hard to guard against, but that isn't the basis for your arrogance."

Rather than panicking at being exposed, Huo Yuhao curled his lips into a smile, his eyes full of mockery.

"Is that so?"
