The soul masters of the entire continent were stunned.
What... what is this thing?
Without cultivating martial souls, just by relying on these pieces of wood and iron, they could possess such terrifying destructive power?
This completely subverted their understanding!
Rewards followed.
[Mo Family Mechanism City, Exquisite Craftsmanship.]
[Special Grant: All Artisan Soul Masters within the Mechanism City will have their Soul Power Level unconditionally increased by 5-10 levels!]
[Additional Reward: City Lord Mozi will receive a set of Soul Tool Core Technology Blueprints!]
Deep beneath Chang'an City, in an extremely hidden, massive space.
The sound of gears turning, steam, and sparks flying were everywhere.
Mozi was wearing a strange pair of Goggles, holding a Wrench in his hand.
He was Mozi.
Upon hearing the rewards on the Heavenly Curtain, Mozi merely glanced up, his expression quite calm.
"Increase Soul Power?"
"Uninteresting."
He shook his head and casually tossed the Wrench aside.
For someone like him, who was devoted to Mechanism Arts, Soul Power Level was merely for better driving mechanisms.
Even if he were raised to level ninety-nine, if it couldn't help him solve the technical problems before him, it would be meaningless.
After being summoned to this world by Li Xin, he had remained here.
Li Xin gave him the greatest freedom and resources.
He didn't force him to fight and kill, only letting him do what he loved.
And in return, he provided the Great Tang with a continuous stream of advanced technology and mechanical creations.
The stealth equipment of the Wonderful Sound Workshop and the Powerful Crossbows of the Great Tang Army were all his creations.
"However..."
Mozi's gaze fell upon the last line of rewards.
"Soul Tool Core Technology Blueprint?"
In that instant.
His eyes, which were originally a bit cloudy, instantly erupted with a radiance more dazzling than the sun.
"This is good!"
"This is the real treasure!"
As for rankings and exposure, they had long been forgotten.
He turned and lunged towards his workbench, grabbing the Golden Light Cluster that had appeared out of thin air and began studying it with insatiable thirst.
With this information, his God-Tier Mechanical Beasts, which had been stuck at a bottleneck, finally had hope of being completed.
Tang San stared intently at the mechanical beast on the Heavenly Curtain that was slowly retracting its Giant Claw.
"Manually crafting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
Tang San's throat made a gulping sound.
His pride and joy, the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons, the top-tier Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus, were indeed astonishingly powerful, but they were single-use consumables.
Whereas this thing before him was a War Machine capable of sustained combat.
If this technology could be combined with the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons...
Even if he could only learn a fraction of it, modifying the Godly Zhuge Crossbow would likely increase its power severalfold.
If he could master it completely and create hundreds of these mechanical beasts, what need would there be for Titled Douluo?
He, Tang San alone, would be an army of thousands.
That intense possessiveness grew wildly in his heart like weeds.
"I must obtain it."
"This ingenious craftsmanship can only be carried forward in my hands, Tang San's."
"To fall into the hands of that Mozi is simply a waste of heavenly resources."
Tang San abruptly turned around and looked at the Tang Sect Agility Hall disciples who had gathered there.
His gaze was somewhat terrifying, filled with a near-obsessive fervor.
"Transmit my Sect Master's order."
"Use all channels, no matter the cost, and find out the location of this Mo Family Mechanism City for me!"
"Even if I have to turn the continent upside down, I must find that Mozi!"
Several disciples were startled and quickly bowed to receive the order, then fled as if escaping.
Tang San looked out the window again, his fists clenched, making cracking sounds.
The items on this list should have belonged to him.
Martial Soul City, Papal Palace.
A huge crystal chandelier cast a cold radiance, reflecting on Bibi Dong's extremely beautiful face.
She was still seated on the throne symbolizing supreme power.
Unlike her previous anger, at this moment, her eyes held more profound calculation.
Bibi Dong slightly adjusted her posture.
The luxurious Pope Robe slid down with her movement, revealing a section of her slender and shapely calf.
Her skin was like jade, and her lines were breathtakingly smooth.
She lightly crossed her legs, propped her chin with one hand, and her gaze lingered on the image of that Mechanical Beast.
"As long as there are enough materials, we can mass-produce combat power at the Titled Douluo level..."
Bibi Dong's red lips parted slightly, her voice echoing in the grand hall.
The Martial Soul Hall had been passed down for thousands of years, with deep foundations and the most soul masters on the continent.
Yet, even so, cultivating a Titled Douluo required immense resources and a long period of time.
It even depended on talent.
If they had the technology of this Mo Family Mechanism City...
"This is simply a tailor-made weapon for my Martial Soul Empire."
A glint of determination flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.
She didn't need to understand those complex blueprints; she only needed to possess people who understood them.
That Mozi.
As long as he was captured and imprisoned in the Martial Soul Hall's death row, he would be forced to manufacture these killing machines for the empire day and night.
The pace of unifying the continent could be accelerated by at least ten years.
"Yue Guan."
Bibi Dong's voice was not loud, but it carried a bone-chilling pressure.
A black shadow instantly solidified in the center of the hall, kneeling on one knee.
"Your subordinate is here."
"Pass down the order, mobilize all spies lurking in the major empires."
"Especially Heaven Dou City and the deep mountains and old forests, investigate them thoroughly."
"Once the trace of the Mechanism City is found, do not alert the enemy. Report back immediately."
Bibi Dong slowly stood up, her scepter heavily striking the ground.
"This seat will personally lead the expedition."
"Whether by seizing or by killing, this Mo Family Mechanism City must belong to the Spirit Hall."
Chang'an City, a viewing platform with an excellent location.
The group from Shrek Academy was gathered here.
Ning Rongrong's large eyes were wide open, her small mouth slightly ajar, her face filled with disbelief.
"This... this is too exaggerated, isn't it?"
"Those lumps of iron can actually fly?"
"And that Mechanical Beast looks even more imposing than Grandpa Jian's Seven Kill Sword."
"..."
As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she had seen countless treasures.
But the things displayed by the Mo Family Mechanism City were completely beyond her scope of understanding.
It was a pure industrial aesthetic of violence.
Dai Mubai also had a solemn expression. As a prince, he placed more importance on the military applications of such things.
"If these things appeared on the battlefield, ordinary Soul Master legions would simply be sending themselves to their deaths."
"This Mozi, one man is worth a million soldiers."
Everyone was amazed, but only one person's face was ashen.
Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, his brows tightly furrowed, staring intently at the Heavenly Curtain, his eyes full of suspicion.
"Absurd!"
"Utter nonsense!"
"!!!"
He suddenly raised his voice, drawing the attention of those around him.
