War Machine - Tank

The lightning war launched by the Sun Moon Empire had proven highly effective.

Even while fighting on multiple fronts and simultaneously attacking the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, they could still unleash tremendous combat power.

This fully demonstrated the military strength of the Sun Moon Empire, and with the help of their Holy Spirit Cult, it was like adding wings to a tiger!

Just when the war situation was progressing favorably, an unexpected development suddenly appeared!

Although Shao Zhuang's traces had vanished from the continent, the contributions he had made in Soul Tool Technology during his early years played a crucial role in this great war!

A type of soul tool called the 'Tank' emerged from Shrek Academy and officially stepped onto the world stage, bringing a complete revolution to soul tools!

Before this, soul tools could be roughly categorized by function into three types: melee, ranged, and fixed-position soul tools. Each had its own uses, with fixed-position soul tools being the most powerful and demanding on their users.

However, after the Tank was officially unveiled, Shao Zhuang's previously written thesis brought a brand-new classification to the world: the Composite Strategic Soul Tool!

A Composite Strategic Soul Tool is like a mobile war fortress capable of delivering powerful strikes, requiring multiple personnel to operate in coordination. When applied to medium and large-scale battles, the damage it inflicts on armies is devastating.

Fortunately, the original Douluo Three Kingdoms' level of technology still made mass production of Tanks impossible. Furthermore, the crew coordination required to operate a Tank needed training that couldn't be developed overnight.

Otherwise, the existence of these Tanks might have truly been able to halt the Sun Moon Empire's advance!

Ye Xishui herself was not only a Limit Douluo but also a Level Nine Soul Tool Master, so she naturally had a deep understanding of soul tools.

In her personal monologue, suddenly devoting a large passage to describing this new type of soul tool was undoubtedly an affirmation of the Tank's value.

Thus, all human factions on the Douluo Continent, especially those researching Soul Tool Technology, became even more curious and eager to see for themselves.

What kind of new soul tool could warrant being classified into an entirely new category and make a Level Nine Soul Tool Master like Ye Xishui so wary?

At the same time, the scene displayed on the Heavenly Curtain also showed the effect the Tanks could achieve when applied in warfare.

Facing the Sun Moon Empire's grand army, a full twenty Composite Strategic Soul Tools called 'Tanks' were activated.

They began to advance forward, their speed increasing, yet their formation remained flawless.

Unlike ordinary Soul Master legions, this was a cold, orderly advance accompanied by the low rumble of grinding metal.

Under the sunlight, the massive steel bodies of these Tanks reflected a hard, cold luster, and one thick, long cannon barrel after another slowly adjusted its angle.

The Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master legion attempted to attack these unfamiliar soul tools.

But just as these attacks were about to land, the battle formation formed by the twenty Tanks quickly condensed a translucent Iron Curtain of light to escort them.

Ripples spread across the light screen, yet they could not shake it in the slightest. The first round of attacks from the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master legion was thus easily blocked.

Seeing their attacks ineffective, the highly disciplined Soul Master army quickly prepared a second round of assault.

But it was already too late!

The thick, long cannon barrels at the front of the twenty Tanks erupted with blazing light, firing in unison at that moment.

"Boom!~"

"Boom! Boom!..."

Accompanying the tremendous explosive roar was a sensation like the earth splitting and mountains shaking, along with the screams of Soul Masters.

As the thick black smoke dispersed, huge craters were everywhere, along with the broken limbs and remains of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master legion.

"Ugh~" Some Soul Masters, seeing the scene like a hell on earth, dry-heaved from physiological disgust.

"What power, simply amazing!"

Of course, many Soul Tool Masters under the original Douluo Three Kingdoms were extremely excited.

A soul tool with such terrifying power, invented by someone from their original Douluo Three Kingdoms and used in the future to repel the Sun Moon Empire's invasion—that couldn't be better.

Inside the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, Qian Duoduo said excitedly, "This kid's surprises just keep coming one after another."

He never expected that Shao Zhuang, who primarily focused on martial souls, would also have such immense talent in soul tools.

It was truly fortunate that the Soul Tool Department had insisted on giving him the status of a core disciple back then.

"See that, Yan Shaozhe? Geniuses are connected in many fields. If we had let Junior Disciple Brother give up on soul tools, this epoch-making technology would have disappeared. Your Martial Soul Department needs to keep up with the times."

Xian Lin'er also taunted Yan Shaozhe as if flaunting a victory.

After the teacher's heart-to-heart talk, Yan Shaozhe had finally resolved his inner conflict and come out of it.

So she could safely mock him now.

Not to mention those who studied soul tools—even someone who didn't understand them much could tell just by looking.

That soul tool called the Tank was absolutely cross-generational, completely changing the face of warfare!

"Why wasn't such a great talent born in our Sun Moon Empire?"

Jing Hongchen, Dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and Head of Mingde Hall, watched the Tank's power and effects and could only feel that Shao Zhuang had been born in the wrong country.

Such a great talent in Soul Tool Technology simply didn't seem like someone who could emerge from the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Just then, a knock came at the Dean's office door.

Jing Hongchen cleared his throat before saying, "Enter!"

The next moment, the visitor pushed the door open and walked in.

"Dean Hongchen, the Crown Prince's oral decree: Effective immediately, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and Mingde Hall are to vigorously pursue the research and development of Composite Strategic Soul Tools."

This person was a close minister by Crown Prince Xu Tianran's side, responsible for conveying His Highness's orders.

"Yes~" Jing Hongchen accepted this task without hesitation.

He was not at all surprised by the Crown Prince's craving for the Tank.

Such a war-killing tool was absolutely something every ambitious person in the world would want.

So there was even less need to mention His Highness the Crown Prince, who harbored the ambition to unify the entire continent.

At this moment, the scene within the Heavenly Curtain quietly shifted.

The original daylight instantly turned into night.

The flying soul engineer legion, arriving from the air, used the cover of night to silently approach these Tanks, attempting to destroy these great killing tools.

Just as the viewers thought these Tanks were about to be scrapped, the situation changed once more.

The perspective suddenly shifted to the inside of a Tank.

On a screen, red dots suddenly appeared one by one.

Accompanying them was the beeping sound of an alert.

Now everyone could see clearly.
