Douluo: So You're the Theory Master

Every faction understood this very well, and they fully accepted it. Trading resources for time was a good thing when there was demand.

The Extreme Research Institute truly needed more things, which was why Ning Qinghe had pondered this for so long.

This continent was filled with talented people, possessed a long history, and was rich in resources. There were countless things he wanted to acquire.

Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, wealthy enough to rival a nation, would always have gaps in its reach.

For example, there were things from the Extreme North and the Star Luo Empire that they simply could not obtain.

There were also all sorts of talented yet proud people across the continent. Without sufficient ability and reputation, it was not easy to recruit them. They had not gone without rejections over the years.

There were surely unexplored places on the continent as well, Immortal Herbs, and perhaps even things left behind by the legendary gods. Those were also things Ning Qinghe longed to acquire.

Only abundant resources and numerous talents were the greatest keys to developing a faction. If he relied solely on flashes of insight and the understanding gained from two lifetimes, he would run out of ideas sooner or later.

Pursuing the limits of research was a difficult path.

For that, Ning Qinghe needed greater strength and more helpers.

He hoped to stir the emotions of the continent's major factions and turn the Extreme Research Institute into a sacred land of learning in the hearts of many people across this continent.

This was also a way to accumulate strength. Only then would they stand a greater chance when the dangers that might truly arise finally came.

So that the major factions would not only know how to fight and kill!!

Having made plans long ago, Ning Qinghe began his impassioned speech, giving no one else a chance to interrupt.

Whether the others were reading the booklets or not, his burning gaze swept over the people from every major faction around him, his eyes filled with hope and purpose.

There was spirit in his eyes, and his fighting spirit soared. His entire body seemed to radiate light!!

"Everyone, the Extreme Research Institute has no intention of merely minding its own business!!"

"As long as you have enough points, you can even send researchers here to study. We will teach them with everything we have, and afterward, help develop your own Research Institutes."

"Of course, we also hope that when you develop something worthwhile in the future, we can trade and learn from each other."

"Knowledge is meant to be shared. Letting others learn it does not diminish it. On the contrary, with different branches of study, its content will become richer and more abundant. The more we learn together, the more comprehensive our development will become. I believe we will all soon come to understand this."

"Research and insight always require someone to pursue them. Every step we take, every small step, is paving the way for future Soul Masters. Our Research Institute sincerely hopes that learning can create a bright future for everyone, and that we can often exchange knowledge and learn together in the future."

"I also hope that together, we can break through the limits of the current Soul Master cultivation system. Perhaps, one day, one of our descendants may even become a legendary 'god'!!"

"Let the current Soul Master cultivation system become a 'Divine Cultivation System'!!!"

From the moment Ning Qinghe began speaking, his hands moved with impassioned vigor, as though he were delivering an extraordinary speech.

Surpassing the current Soul Master system, breaking the system, even creating a divine system and all that.

Is there really nothing wrong with your brain?

A Divine Cultivation System??

If they truly reached that point, perhaps many people would indeed have bright futures.

Becoming gods—how did he even dare to say that?

Quite a few young people stared blankly at this peer of theirs, who seemed to radiate a strange brilliance.

What are you doinggg? Oh my~~~

Has being a Soul Master become this competitive already???

"?????"

Xie Yue and Yan, two members of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation who had remained nearby to watch the show, exchanged glances.

What sort of person were they supposed to face????

Was this guy really a Soul Master??

Wasn't he some kind of politician?

Hadn't they come here in the first place to observe and test his combat strength?

What was going on now? Had they come to the wrong place?

Some felt Ning Qinghe was being too exaggerated and was simply fooling people, while others thought he was overflowing with ideas.

Perhaps even if they were given another lifetime, they would not dare to think of or do such things.

To them, this was far too disrespectful toward the gods.

Ning Qinghe's speech truly began to stir people's blood.

Some elderly people thought of the youth they had lost. Looking back on those days, they too had possessed their own goals, high spirits, and boundless fighting spirit.

How many people had their edges worn away by time, gradually becoming smooth, and called it maturity?

In truth, they no longer even dared to dream.

Perhaps if there had been someone around them back then who could move people's hearts like this—

Someone who told them to slay gods—they would have wanted to try it, so long as they could find a way.

"Everyone, the Extreme Research Institute has no intention of forcibly recruiting anyone, nor do we intend to use technology to force you into doing anything."

"We only hope that we can unite as one. We hope that one day, later generations will remember this day. When that time comes, we will have left our mark on history and earned our names in the annals."

"I hope this day will become a special beginning!!!"

His speech was wildly exaggerated, but as long as he was not embarrassed, the embarrassed ones would be everyone else. Ning Qinghe's every gesture was full of surging emotion and imposing bearing.

He ignored the strange looks some people gave him and focused instead on those who were excited, even fanatical.

Those were the people who interested him. Having goals was a good thing.

As long as some of them took the bait, that was enough.

These were all his like-minded, good comrades!!!

As for the others, perhaps they would only regret it once real results appeared!

And if no results came, they would be glad that they had remained clear-headed!!

"Good!!"

"Dean Ning, we will support you."

"No matter what it is, we can offer the Extreme Research Institute some support."

"Dean Ning, what are the requirements for truly joining the Extreme Research Institute?"

When Ning Qinghe looked at some of them so eagerly, they could not help but respond.

Some were already elders at the rank of Spirit Douluo or Soul Saint. Having lived in calm detachment for half their lives, it had been a long time since they had felt this stirred up.

Fortunately, quite a few people around them felt the same way. Some were even more direct, already planning to switch factions and join the Extreme Research Institute. It no longer seemed like anything shameful.

Perhaps this day truly could become a moment that others would carve into history, one that would leave their names behind for posterity.

They might not have the chance to become gods, but they truly might be remembered.

Come to think of it, aside from the Martial Soul Hall Saintess being knocked flat, the most remarkable performances today had been from the two Soul Grandmasters who took the stage first.

They seemed to be called Yu Xiaogang and Tang San or something. Perhaps they too could be recorded in history in such a distinctive manner.

That counted as good luck, at least...

If the unconscious Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, who had already been carried away, knew about this—

They would only want to say, Do you want this good luck yourselves?!

But there was nothing to do with them now.

The atmosphere at the scene was fervent.

Quite a few elderly people transformed into hot-blooded warriors. Anyone unaware of the situation might have thought some unknown tavern was about to raise their hands and cheer!!

Even Yu Yuanzhen wore a somewhat complicated expression as he looked at Ning Qinghe.

Whether gods were real or not was hard to say, but people with grand ambitions, the ability to act, and no fear of facing the major factions were truly rare.

Why did the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan not have someone like that?

Why was Ning Fengzhi so lucky?

The thought that this boy was terrifying and must not be allowed to live had even flashed through his mind.

But he gave up on it and chose to be a decent person.

"..."

Dai Luoge looked at the intelligence on treasures in his hands and the booklet on the Research Institute's projects. His gaze was grave, his breathing deepening as he wavered between hope and worry.

Looking at the introductions to the various research projects, he wanted to question them and ask about the research, but he ultimately gave up. The facts were right before him.

As for the treasures required, some were precious, but to an empire or a prince, they were truly nothing.

These things could be exchanged.

For their Star Luo Empire, it could only be called an excellent bargain.

As for the things to trade with the Extreme Research Institute, he could even procure these exchange resources himself.
