The moment the alarm sounded, the Soul Master on night duty inside the Tank immediately initiated countermeasures.

Gun barrels suddenly emerged from several small viewing ports, bullets spitting out like fiery serpents, wiping out the majority of the enemy forces attempting a sneak attack.

The effect demonstrated by the Tank sparked a massive wave of heated discussion across the entire continent, especially among the Soul Mentor groups.

After all, Soul Mentors were the professionals; they could better grasp what the emergence of the Tank truly signified.

Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Xian Lin'er said to Elder Mu, "Teacher, the Composite Strategic Soul Tool that Junior Disciple Brother proposed in the future has provided a new development direction for all Soul Mentors under heaven."

"I think Shrek Academy should also vigorously develop in this direction. The Tank's potential is absolutely enormous..."

···

Inside the Sun Moon Empire's imperial palace.

"A detection ability similar to the Spirit System?!"

Kong Deming stared at the scene on the Heavenly Curtain and made an instant judgment.

Even as the pinnacle of Soul Tool Department technology on the continent, after watching the Tank's live combat demonstration, he couldn't help but sigh, "Truly, the younger generation inspires awe!"

Although the scenes displayed on the Heavenly Curtain weren't extensive, Kong Deming, with his seasoned experience, dissected the Tank in remarkable detail.

Firepower System: Equivalent to the main cannon of a fixed Soul Tool, but instead of ordinary shells, it compresses and accelerates high-purity Soul Power before firing, producing a devastating energy explosion. It is also supplemented with various standard weapons, making attack methods more flexible and diverse.

Mobility System: Externally, it appears to be ordinary tracked design, but it is actually equipped with specially designed propulsion Soul Tool devices. It is speculated to be capable of operating on various terrains; even if the tracks are destroyed, it can likely still move.

Defense System: At first glance, it seems like the most basic Soul Power shield, following the brute-force approach. However, from the details of its activation, it is a linked system, triggered by each Tank individually, spreading from points to a surface. This reduces the burden of Soul Power supply while achieving better defensive effects...

It could only be said that this was Kong Deming, the very man who would later create the continent's first tenth-level Soul Tool—the Sun Moon Divine Light Shield.

His credentials were absolutely beyond doubt!

"Composite Strategic Soul Tool—well-deserved name." Kong Deming gave a high appraisal of the Tank and the definition of its Soul Tool.

This kind of Soul Tool, armed to the teeth, was truly extraordinary.

Because of the existence of the Soul Master profession, the development of Soul Tools had always been an extension of individual Soul Masters' attack methods.

Even with the later emergence of fixed Soul Tools as the times evolved, this remained the case.

Even when ninth-level or even tenth-level Soul Tools were created, the concept and function of those Soul Tools had always remained within this scope.

The Composite Strategic Soul Tool proposed by Shao Zhuang, however, introduced a completely new concept, a complete revolution.

This kind of Composite Strategic Soul Tool was more of an independent war platform.

It made Soul Mentors across the world realize that Soul Tools could take such a path.

However, this wave of discussion about the Tank and other Composite Strategic Soul Tools quickly faded. After all, such complex matters were generally only studied and delved into by professionals.

Outsiders were mostly just watching the spectacle.

More critically, the Heavenly Curtain suddenly revealed earth-shattering information that threw the original Douluo Three Kingdoms into extreme panic.

[Several Composite Strategic Soul Tools, led by the Tank, did cause some trouble for Our Holy Church and the Sun Moon Empire.]

[But the tide is unstoppable. Given the decay and backwardness of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, even with a genius like Shao Zhuang, it only delays the time of their death.]

[The blitzkrieg was highly effective; the original Douluo Three Kingdoms truly were paper tigers. Less than ten days into the war, on the Heaven Dou Empire front, we achieved massive results first.]

[Heaven Dou Imperial City has completely fallen, one-third of the territory has been captured by our side, and the offensive shows no sign of stopping, advancing with unstoppable momentum. All areas west of Heaven Dou City have fallen into the hands of the Sun Moon Empire.]

[Four of the Six Great Soul Mentor Legions of the Heaven Dou Empire have been annihilated; the Heavenly Soul royal family, under the cover of the remaining two Soul Mentor Legions, is continuously retreating eastward.]

[As for the so-called nation-protecting sect, the Body Sect? Not worth mentioning.]

[Its leader, Du Busi, was severely wounded by the combined attack of my son Zhong Liwu and another elder within the church, and the entire sect fled in defeat.]

[The Heaven Dou Empire's defeat is already certain. I believe it will be completely destroyed before long!]

"Damned Sun Moon Empire! Damned Holy Spirit Cult!"

Du Busi, who had just returned to his sect, looked at the Heavenly Curtain's content and immediately burst into curses.

He himself had been severely wounded, his sect had fled in defeat, and now his nation was on the verge of destruction.

Putting himself in that position, anyone would feel unbearable pain and fury.

"No! The Body Sect must counterattack! We can no longer sit idly by!"

Du Busi was extremely agitated. He suddenly felt that his previous preparations had been too lax.

If the future was like this, and they didn't prepare to the death to deal with it, were they supposed to just sit and wait for their nation to fall and their families to perish?

Du Busi's mood at this moment was a reflection of the feelings of the vast majority of people in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Although the original Douluo Three Kingdoms were indeed much more backward compared to the Sun Moon Empire.

But the problem was that a future scene of national destruction had already appeared—how could anyone remain calm?

'Is this our nation's end?' Princess Veena's expression was deeply sorrowful.

As the princess of the Heaven Dou Empire, her emotions were even more mournful.

She never imagined that her country would be so easily overrun by the Sun Moon Empire in the future.

In just over ten days since the war began, her nation was nearly completely lost.

This was something she had never imagined; Wei Na felt as if the sky was falling!

Because for the original Douluo Three Kingdoms' royal families, having such an ambitious and powerful empire by their side was certainly a cause for concern.

No matter how much they slacked off, they would still put in some effort.

The Heaven Dou Empire, though not as diligent or hardworking as the Star Luo Empire, still had its preparations in place.

For example, recruiting the Body Sect as a protectorate sect was one of their countermeasures.

Binding the powerful Body Sect to their side was, in the eyes of the Heavenly Soul royal family, absolutely the most correct decision they had ever made.

With such an ally protecting them, combined with the Six Great Soul Mentor Legions cultivated over many years, the safety of their royal family had been greatly enhanced.

Some members of the royal family even confidently believed that even if the Sun Moon Empire launched an attack on their country, they could absolutely hold out in a war of attrition and await reinforcements from the other two empires.

But now, the Heavenly Soul royal family was completely dumbfounded. Under the Sun Moon Empire's three-front full-scale offensive, their own country had fallen so quickly!!
