Zhong Kui's Views on the Sun Moon Empire and the Three Kingdoms

"Finally, I have succeeded! I have successfully reached the Super Douluo level. With this, I am qualified to step into the ranks of Level 10 Soul Masters! This means our Red Dust Family will be able to secure a greater status within the Sun Moon Empire, and I will be able to command much more influence!"

Jing Hongchen was truly overjoyed. He had been at level 94, and he had originally assumed that, given his aptitude, he would peak as an ordinary peak Title Douluo and never have the chance to become a Level 10 Soul Master in this lifetime.

Yet now, the opportunity had arrived! Now that he was a Super Douluo-level soul master, he finally had the qualifications to cultivate toward becoming a Level 10 Soul Master and create Level 10 Soul Tools.

With this, the status of their Red Dust Family in the Sun Moon Empire could be said to be infinitely close to that of the royal family.

After all, Jing Hongchen knew the true value of a Level 10 Soul Master; even Kong Deming, who was currently hailed as the closest person to a Level 10 Soul Master, was only a level 94 Title Douluo.

But he was now at the Super Douluo level. Even if he wasn't a Level 10 Soul Master yet, his status—based solely on the fact that he was the Sun Moon Empire's highest-leveled Super Douluo soul master and currently the only one—was secure.

At the very least, his status would be on par with Kong Deming.

"I am preparing the second pill now. You should be careful when the time comes... Fortunately, this kind of medicinal pill is relatively simple."

Zhong Kui's words were not wrong from his perspective. First of all, these low-grade pills were simple enough for him to refine, and items that boosted soul power were straightforward—unlike Dou Qi, which was much harder to refine pills for back on the Dou Qi Continent. He was currently only a Grade 2 Alchemist capable of refining Grade 2 pills.

Therefore, to Zhong Kui, refining pills to boost Dou Qi was difficult, but it was different on the Douluo Continent. As everyone knew, the Douluo Continent was a low-tier fantasy world, so pills that boosted soul power were quite simple, as was divine power.

In Zhong Kui's view, even divine power wasn't that difficult; after all, it probably wasn't much stronger than Dou Qi.

After all, the divine skills used by the gods of the God Realm had a hard time dealing with the city walls built by people 10,000 years ago on Douluo Planet, so they probably weren't that impressive.

"Then I will leave it to you. I hope the first pill can be given to Elder Kong Deming. After all, he is the pillar of the Sun Moon Empire. If he can also break through to level 95 Super Douluo, he will surely become a Level 10 Soul Master faster than I can. If that happens, we will have hope in dealing with the Douluo Three Kingdoms. However, won't you feel any psychological burden helping us deal with the Douluo Three Kingdoms?"

Jing Hongchen asked Zhong Kui cautiously at this moment. He wasn't entirely sure of Zhong Kui's thoughts, so he had to be careful and hoped Zhong Kui would be honest. He could feel that there was nothing wrong with his body, so the pill Zhong Kui gave him was healthy, which eased his fears.

Moreover, he was certain that Zhong Kui could not be a mole sent by the Douluo Three Kingdoms. After all, who would send someone with such talent to be a mole? If they did, he could only say those people had their brains caught in a door.

Zhong Kui's talent—being able to possess the destructive power of a Title Douluo at such a young age—was already formidable.

His strength and physical constitution had both reached the Title Douluo level, which was proof enough of his power and talent.

Therefore, it was even less likely that he was a mole sent by the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

"I won't have any burden. After all, I'm not some noble or high-ranking official from the Douluo Three Kingdoms. My parents were just ordinary soul masters, and they had to expend a great deal of effort and pull many favors to help me awaken my martial soul. I truly have no affection for the Douluo Three Kingdoms, so I have no interest in helping them. Even if the Sun Moon Empire annexes the Douluo Three Kingdoms, so what? What does that have to do with me? We are just people who want to eat, live more brilliantly, and live better lives. We really aren't interested in national affairs, nor do we want to manage them. To me, or to my parents, as long as the Sun Moon Empire is not a scourge and a country that won't bring disaster to the Douluo Continent, what does it matter if it unifies the continent? If the Sun Moon Empire unifies the Douluo Continent, they won't kill us. As long as they don't engage in tyranny and allow us to live normally, eat, and live better, we won't care about anything else. Besides, the rule of the Douluo Three Kingdoms isn't even as good as the Sun Moon Empire's! Although I know it doesn't sound good for someone born in the Douluo Three Kingdoms to say this, the problem is that it's the truth. The rule of the Douluo Three Kingdoms is really not better than the Sun Moon Empire. In the Douluo Three Kingdoms, even commoners have to spend money to awaken their martial souls, while the Sun Moon Empire can ensure that everyone can awaken their martial souls. Doesn't this prove that the Sun Moon Empire is stronger than the Douluo Three Kingdoms?"

After hearing Zhong Kui say this, Jing Hongchen understood that, simply put, Zhong Kui was someone who didn't care about politics and only wanted to live well and live more brilliantly, hoping to bring his parents along with him.

To put it bluntly, he didn't care about politics, wasn't interested in his origins in the Douluo Three Kingdoms, and the Douluo Three Kingdoms were indeed rotten. The fact that Zhong Kui's parents had to spend so much effort and pull so many favors to help him awaken his martial soul showed just how failed the rule of the Douluo Three Kingdoms was. It was no wonder he would come to defect to the Sun Moon Empire.

"Alright, I am going to refine the pills now. Please prepare some more materials just in case. If I happen to fail, I can refine another one. For me, one must always be prepared and ready for failure, as I am also afraid of failing when refining this kind of pill."

"No problem."

"Huo Yuhao, I want to ask you a question. Which of the Douluo Three Kingdoms are you from? And you always carry this strange dagger; where is this dagger from? I feel like I've heard of it somewhere?" Wang Dong looked at the White Tiger Dagger Huo Yuhao was carrying, feeling curious. It was normal to feel like she had seen the dagger somewhere before, after all, her true identity was Tang Wutong from the God Realm.

The White Tiger Dagger was a symbol that only existed in the family of the descendants of Dai Mubai, the former ruler of the Star Luo Empire. This weapon was custom-made.

Tang Wutong had seen Dai Mubai when she was in the God Realm and had learned about some things regarding Dai Mubai's family, so she had seen such a dagger before. It was just that her memories were chaotic now, and her soul had been split, so she couldn't remember.
