The Eldest Young Lady of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect

No, is Shrek Academy just trying to be purely disgusting?

This piece of knowledge is clearly wrong, and this stuff originates from 4,000 years ago; this martial soul also technically belongs to their Sun Moon Empire...

Yet the credited author is Yu Xiaogang from ten thousand years ago.

Xu Yanli shook his head rapidly twice, supported his forehead with his left hand, and continued flipping through the pages.

Actually, that isn't the most ridiculous part; the most ridiculous part is that the Douluo Continent hasn't developed its own cultivation techniques in tens of thousands of years...

You have to understand that back when he awakened his martial soul, he spent about four months tinkering and perfecting his own cultivation technique.

However, the foundation of that technique was based on the scriptures from his past life...

At the time, he hadn't intended to successfully cultivate it; he was just sunbathing every day. Feeling his body was sluggish, he got up and practiced some Wing Chun and Tai Chi he'd learned in college...

As it turned out, his soul power circulation speed became extremely fast, and at the same time, those Tai Chi footwork patterns actually accelerated his movement, achieving something akin to the effect of the Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

But rather than calling it Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, it was more like the Lingbo Microsteps he had seen in his past life...

Naturally, that was the name Xu Yanli chose for it.

After all, he was terrible at naming things; you couldn't expect someone who named his cats and dogs "Lovey" and "Dovie" to come up with a good name...

Xu Yanli pulled his thoughts back and immersed himself in the book again.

Just like that, with him reading and thinking about other matters, the morning passed by.

Xu Yanli put the book away, intending to head to Xiaoyao Pavilion upon returning to see how the signal transmission was progressing.

However, it seemed Shrek Academy had absolutely no awareness of this; after all, this was something he had only just proposed, and there was zero research in that area.

Furthermore, the energy they used wasn't soul power, but a type of wave proposed by Xu Yanli.

Although it was initially converted from soul power, it was very weak and didn't require much soul power, so it failed to attract the attention of those Titled Douluo, including Mu En, who lay on his rattan chair.

After Xu Yanli rushed to Xiaoyao Pavilion, he immediately headed to the room where the printer was located.

"It's a success, Your Highness." The Level 9 Soul Engineer who had been guarding the printer said excitedly, "It seems Your Highness's theory is completely correct; waves are a form of signal transmission..."

Xu Yanli listened attentively from the side without offering too much input, only pointing out a few things where he felt unclear, relying on the knowledge from his past life.

After all, he only had a superficial understanding from his past life and hadn't studied it that well; professional matters should be left to the professionals. He couldn't just force his way through it, otherwise, why bother supporting so many people?

Xu Yanli nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left, choosing to stay at Xiaoyao Pavilion for lunch.

After all, if he could properly enjoy good food, why would he go to Shrek Academy to stand and eat, suffering through that?

Kong Deming asked about his upcoming plans while they ate.

Xu Yanli hesitated for a moment before saying: "Next, you all should start producing those high-risk level bombs, at least capable of defeating a Titled Douluo. As for testing them, there's no rush for now."

"In case Shrek Academy notices too easily..." A hint of nervousness, mixed with excitement, flashed in Kong Deming's eyes.

Xu Yanli rubbed his chin and said: "Rest assured, it's not a major issue. Also, if any non-noble students come seeking help, you can naturally try to win them over."

"By the way, Your Highness, no non-noble students have come by in the last two days, but Ning Tian from the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect did stop by." Kong Deming said.

Xu Yanli frowned slightly, puzzled: "Oh? The young lady of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, what did she come for?"

"She said she hoped to purchase a portion of the soul tools produced by our Xiaoyao Pavilion and deepen our cooperation, while also asking if we could procure offensive soul tools from the Sun Moon Empire." Kong Deming said.

Xu Yanli rolled his eyes, took a few more bites of his meal, and then slowly said: "With the wealth of their Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, procuring offensive soul tools shouldn't be a problem. It seems those low-tier soul tools can't satisfy their needs."

"So, should we take this business or not?" Kong Deming asked.

"Take it. Why wouldn't we take this business?" Xu Yanli chuckled and said, "In the future, they might just use this connection to join our Sun Moon Empire. As for the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, this Highness can give them an opportunity to 'hoard goods for a rainy day' just like ten thousand years ago."

"You mean?" Kong Deming understood instantly, then nodded with a smile.

No one could resist the temptation of investing in a god, especially the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, which had already invested in one before.

Although their sect hadn't gained much from that last investment, they had gained two gods, hadn't they?

And the prestige of those two gods was what allowed the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, a purely support-type sect, to survive to this day.

And now, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect was also in a state of decline due to the weakness of the Tang Sect and other factors.

There was also the Body Sect, which hadn't yet allied with the Heaven Dou Empire; there might be an opportunity to win them over as well.

Huo Yuhao, that bait, could also come in handy in the future—though not right now, as he needed to ensure Huo Yuhao's loyalty first.

Xu Yanli took a few more bites and slowly set down his chopsticks; he was full.

"Right, keep Huo Yuhao training hard. As for that million-year soul beast he wants for his second martial soul, I'll handle it when I come back." Xu Yanli said as he prepared to leave.

Regardless, since he had already conceded that million-year soul beast, he certainly had no intention of giving up the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress.

A hint of darkness flashed in the depths of Xu Yanli's eyes. He didn't know that the moment the Life Core acknowledged him as its master, a grand power had surged toward him.

It was a mysterious and profound power; he didn't know if it was the power of destiny.

But every time he broke through in cultivation or obtained something, he had this feeling, as if he were plundering something, or as if something that should have belonged to him had returned to his body.

Xu Yanli rubbed his forehead, feeling as if he had overused his brain; his CPU was about to burn out.

How did he end up wanting to be a slacker, only to end up on the path of a workaholic with no turning back?

Forget it, better to stay busy; it's still better than being killed by Tang Buddha Ancestor 20 years later.

Xu Yanli sighed, waved his hand, and returned to Shrek Academy.

Time passed day by day. About a week later, a member of the Xiaoyao Pavilion from the Heaven Dou Empire sent a message.

Xu Yanli took the letter delivered to him, read the contents, and suddenly, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
