Brother Sky Dream, You Truly Leave Nothing Unaccounted For!

When Xiao Qiang said that powerful strength would be favored by female soul beasts, Tian Meng could not help thinking of Bi Ji's attitude toward Di Tian among the Fierce Beasts.

Although Bi Ji and Di Tian had never said it outright, some things did not need to be spoken aloud. Anyone with even a little intelligence could see it.

Tian Meng had stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest for so long that he naturally saw many things clearly. It was simply that he had not had the energy to care about them back then. But after Xiao Qiang put it that way, he understood.

Combined with Ice Empress's contempt for him because of his strength, Xiao Qiang's meaning became obvious.

Ice Empress looked down on him because he was weak. Then if he became stronger—strong enough to rival Di Tian of the Star Dou Great Forest...

No, perhaps he did not even need to reach Di Tian's level. As long as he became stronger than Ice Empress, would she stop looking down on him?

With that thought, Tian Meng no longer resisted the idea of becoming a Soul Engineer. Because this was Love Continent, he even desperately wanted to become one and win Ice Empress's heart.

Laziness was his nature, an instinct he had cultivated over so many years. But on Love Continent, as long as love was involved, even one's nature and instincts could be changed.

"Don't worry, Xiao Qiang. Leave the Soul Tools to me. I'll definitely make you the greatest Soul Tool genius on the entire continent."

"The greatest Soul Tool genius on the entire continent? Right, Brother Sky Dream, how did I not think of that? You're truly brilliant!"

"Huh?" Tian Meng was utterly bewildered by Xiao Qiang's words.

Xiao Qiang seemed not to notice Tian Meng's confusion and continued, "If I become the greatest genius in the history of Soul Tools, then the resources of the entire Sun Moon Empire will be massively directed toward me. With the resources of a nation concentrated on one person, my strength will surely rise at an astonishing speed."

"Becoming a Titled Douluo would practically be effortless, and I estimate I could reach Limit Douluo within thirty or forty years. Combined with some of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tool Technology and the benefits my eyes occasionally let me see, Brother Sky Dream, the success rate of your God Creation Plan will increase tremendously."

"I merely mentioned becoming a Soul Engineer, yet Brother Sky Dream was already able to think three steps ahead. Brother Sky Dream, you're incredible. As expected of a million-year soul beast!"

Was that what I was thinking? That was Tian Meng's first thought. But then he looked at the worshipful gaze on Xiao Qiang's face.

"Ahem. I've lived for a million years, after all, and the God Creation Plan was created through my painstaking efforts. Naturally, I have to think far ahead. But there's no need for you to be discouraged. You are the one I chose, and your conditions in every aspect are quite good. See? Before I even said much, you had already understood what I meant. I'm very pleased that you can do that."

"Alright, leave the Soul Tools to me. If you're interested, you can study them slowly after becoming a Titled Douluo. For now, don't let them delay your cultivation." Within Xiao Qiang's spiritual sea, Tian Meng spoke with an air of profound foresight.

"Okay, Brother Sky Dream!"

Watching Tian Meng take control of his body and begin frantically flipping through books on Soul Tools, recording their contents while seriously simulating the construction of various Soul Tools in the spiritual sea, Xiao Qiang was relieved after confirming that this plan had succeeded. At the same time, he once again confirmed that the way he interacted with Tian Meng was correct.

Whether it was the first study of the digestion method or the current study of Soul Tool construction, both were desires Tian Meng already possessed, amplified through Xiao Qiang's rhetoric.

The digestion method had stemmed from Tian Meng's desire for delicious food, supplemented by the flattery Xiao Qiang gave him.

And now, Soul Tool construction stemmed from Tian Meng's desire for Ice Empress, along with the flattery Xiao Qiang gave him this time.

Desires born from one's own will could fully unleash Tian Meng's potential, making him work desperately at Soul Tool construction and greatly increasing the possibility that Xiao Qiang could reach the level of an advanced Soul Engineer in a short time.

Although Xiao Qiang knew that because some matters involved Tian Meng's God Creation Plan, Tian Meng would help even if Xiao Qiang told him directly, Xiao Qiang understood the difference between working hard and risking one's life all too clearly.

As for hard work, if someone gritted their teeth, not everyone could manage it, but at least three out of ten could. In the end, hard work was just gritting one's teeth and persevering, mindlessly pushing ahead. Once unexpected problems arose, hard work would reach its limit.

But if one was risking one's life, then when problems arose, they would think of every possible way to solve them. Their heart, mind, and everything they could use would be thrown into it, resolving the issue at all costs. That was what it meant to risk one's life.

Hard work rarely led to success, but risking one's life was different.

Anything one began risking one's life for because of one's own desires was almost destined to succeed.

If Tian Meng's situation was used as an example, then after Xiao Qiang spoke to him directly, Tian Meng would most likely set aside any Soul Tool research he could not understand, sleep on it, and think about it later—or simply hand it over to Xiao Qiang.

But now, if there was a Soul Tool he truly could not figure out, he would think of Ice Empress's admiring gaze in the future. He would think of ensuring that no one exposed the lie he had told Xiao Qiang. Whether for a beautiful future or for his own pride, he would have to grit his teeth and overcome every difficulty.

Only by pushing Tian Meng's potential to its absolute limit would Xiao Qiang's future plans have the greatest chance of success.

Xiao Qiang was now fourteen years old. Although the original work claimed that becoming a Rank 2 Soul Master at twelve was already a rare talent even in the Sun Moon Empire, that statement had come from Shrek.

After that, Shrek had also claimed that the Sun Moon Empire only had three Rank 9 Soul Masters. But what was the truth?

The intelligence gathered by those self-important Shrek people was simply unreliable.

A twelve-year-old Rank 2 Soul Master was talented, but at most, they were a genius in a backward region. In any major city, a twelve-year-old Rank 2 Soul Master could only be considered above average. Only a twelve-year-old Rank 3 Soul Master could truly be called a genius.

As for a place like the imperial capital, a twelve-year-old Rank 3 Soul Master would be considered exceptionally outstanding, but they would still fall slightly short of being called a genius.

And Xiao Qiang was already fourteen. If he wanted resources vast enough to raise his Soul Power by seven ranks in a short time, simply being a genius would not be enough.

Only by reaching the level of a peerless genius would Xiao Qiang have the qualifications to speak with the Sun Moon Empire's upper echelon. Only they could give him medicines that would raise his Soul Power by seven ranks in a short time without inflicting severe damage on his body or leaving him stuck at a single rank for a long time.

"Time really is tight, and the task is heavy."
