Level 92, Space Douluo Gu Yu! The Sun Moon Empire's Soul Engineer System?

Han Feng saw that the massive fleet had kept its distance and had not launched an attack.

His tense muscles relaxed slightly, but he still did not lower the spear in his hand.

Before long, the red light around Gu Yu receded, and a powerful ripple spread outward.

She slowly opened her eyes, a cold gleam like shattering space flashing through them.

"Brother Feng, I succeeded. Level 91, at the peak."

Gu Yu rose to her feet, sensing the surging power within her, unable to hide the joy in her voice.

"This ninth soul skill is called 'Void Boundary.' Not only can it perform Spatial Shuttle across extreme distances, it can also form a layer of folded-space barrier around my body.

"Even the full-force strike of a level 99 Ultimate Douluo can be forcibly diverted by this barrier. Its life-saving ability is exceptionally strong."

"I have also decided on my title.

"My father uses the word 'Bone.'

"Then I'll use the word 'Space' as my title!"

"Space Douluo?

"That sounds like a pretty good title!"

Han Feng was delighted to hear it, but his expression soon turned solemn again as he pointed at the enormous steel ships in the distance.

"Yu'er, look."

Gu Yu turned her head toward the fleet flying the Sun and Moon Flag, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly.

"That is... what faction?

"I've never seen it before."

"I've been wondering the same thing."

Han Feng said gravely.

"They seem wary of us and do not dare approach.

"But we are in a foreign land, so we must remain vigilant.

"Absorb this Black Tortoise's Soul Bone first and strengthen yourself. Only then will we have the confidence to deal with them."

Gu Yu nodded and raised a hand. A spinal bone emitting a deep blue glow flew out from the Black Tortoise's corpse.

She sat down cross-legged and began fusing with it.

A moment later, Gu Yu completed the fusion, and her aura grew even deeper.

"I broke through to level 92!"

"This Hundred-Thousand-Year Black Tortoise spinal bone gave me two soul skills."

Gu Yu stood up, confidence shining in her eyes.

"The first is 'Black Tortoise Gravity Field.' It can instantly alter the gravity within a thousand-meter radius.

"It can reach up to a hundred times normal gravity and greatly restrict an enemy's movements.

"The second is 'Absolute Defense Barrier.' It can summon a phantom of a Black Tortoise shell.

"It is immune to all physical attacks and can reflect thirty percent of Soul Power damage."

Han Feng's eyes gleamed brightly after hearing this.

"Good!

"With these two soul skills, along with your spatial abilities, even if this fleet is plotting something, we can advance or retreat as we please!"

Just then, Kong Zhao on the largest flagship across from them seemed to notice the activity on the island.

He actually took the initiative to raise a white flag symbolizing peace and slowly approached the island.

"Brother Feng, they're coming over."

Gu Yu gripped the bone spike in her hand and spoke softly.

"War or peace?"

Han Feng sneered. The phantom of the Golden Earth Dragon King flickered behind him, radiating an oppressive presence.

"Let's first see what tricks they want to play.

"If they dare make the slightest suspicious move, we can use them to test the power of your new soul skills!"

The flagship slowly approached the island, with Kong Zhao standing at the edge of the deck.

Relying on the perception of his Silver Moon Martial Soul, he finally saw the Soul Power fluctuations of the two people on the island clearly.

"Level 92, level 90..."

The huge weight hanging over Kong Zhao's heart finally fell away, and his tense shoulders relaxed as well.

"Fortunately, they are merely two newly ascended Title Douluo, not some reclusive Ultimate Douluo."

Kong Zhao gestured for the adjutant behind him to put away his weapon, then rose into the air alone.

He landed steadily ten meters away from Han Feng and Gu Yu, cupped his hands in greeting, and spoke politely.

"Greetings, you two. I am Kong Zhao, commander of the Sun Moon Empire Expeditionary Force.

"I saw the two of you hunting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast here earlier. Your methods were remarkable, and I greatly admire you. I have come specifically to make your acquaintance."

Han Feng held his spear horizontally before him without retracting his Martial Soul, staring coldly at Kong Zhao.

"Sun Moon Empire?

"I've never heard of it. Why has your fleet come here so aggressively?"

Kong Zhao's expression remained unchanged as he smiled gently.

"This sea region is vast. We are merely carrying out patrols under orders.

"You two are not from the Sun Moon Empire. I presume you come from another continent?"

Gu Yu narrowed her beautiful eyes and quietly stepped forward. Spatial ripples faintly emerged beneath her feet.

"You are rather well-informed.

"Since you know where we come from, then let's be direct.

"What do you want?"

After their brief exchange, the two had also confirmed that this fleet definitely was not from Douluo Continent.

That left only the explanation that they came from another continent.

Kong Zhao swept his gaze over the pair, a trace of admiration flashing through his eyes as he spoke sincerely.

"You two have already become Title Douluo at such a young age. Your futures are immeasurable.

"On this vast sea, being alone will ultimately leave you outnumbered and vulnerable.

"If you are willing, I would like to invite you to join us as honored offerings of the Sun Moon Empire.

"Not only can we provide the finest cultivation resources, we can also help you establish yourselves in these waters. What do you think?"

Han Feng exchanged a glance with Gu Yu, the corner of his lips curling into an amused smile.

"Honored offerings? That does sound rather good.

"However, we husband and wife have always been used to freedom. I'm afraid we will have to disappoint you."

Kong Zhao was not angered. Instead, he became even more courteous.

"There is no need for you two to refuse so quickly.

"These waters are fraught with danger. If you wish to return to your homeland, you will likely need my fleet's nautical charts and supplies.

"Why not come aboard and talk? We can make friends. What do you say?"

Han Feng and Gu Yu exchanged another glance. Seeing that Kong Zhao appeared open and straightforward, and knowing that his side truly possessed the navigation information they urgently needed, they retracted their Martial Souls.

"Since Commander Kong is extending such a warm invitation, then my wife and I will accept your hospitality."

Han Feng said with cupped hands.

After the three boarded the ship, Kong Zhao did not take them to the central command room. Instead, he brought them to a display area on one side of the deck.

Kong Zhao casually took an exquisite metal cylinder from his waist and injected it with Soul Power. The cylinder instantly unfolded, turning into a cannon barrel that shimmered with a dark blue light.

"Please take a look. This is a Level 4 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon developed by the Sun Moon Empire. It only requires an infusion of Soul Power to unleash power equivalent to a Soul Ancestor's full-force strike."

Kong Zhao's tone carried a hint of pride.

Gu Yu's beautiful eyes widened in astonishment.

"This... It does not require Spirit Rings, nor does it need the guidance of complicated soul skills, yet it can directly release Soul Power through a metal device?"

"Not only that."

Kong Zhao took out another ring, its surface covered in intricate patterns.

"This is a Storage Soul Tool. It has a capacity of one hundred cubic meters, and its internal structure is stable. It is merely an introductory work for the Soul Engineers of our empire."

Han Feng took the ring and sensed the precise Soul Power circuits within it, setting off turbulent waves in his heart.

On Douluo Continent, Soul Tools had long been lost.

Even when they were occasionally unearthed, they were mostly damaged storage devices.

Yet this fleet before them had developed Soul Tools into such a mature system!

"Commander Kong, how far can the strongest Soul Engineers in your empire reach?"

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Han Feng asked in a deep voice.

Kong Zhao smiled proudly.

"Our empire's strongest Soul Engineers have currently reached level seven.

"The Level 7 Soul Tools they create are enough to let a Soul Saint challenge a Soul Douluo across ranks, and even influence the course of a battlefield."
