The Shock of the Star Luo Visitors (Four Thousand)

The ship arrived at the port, and the Star Luo Federation delegation disembarked.

A group of mission members dressed in dark blue uniforms stepped ashore one by one with steady steps. The head envoy held diplomatic documents with gold-embossed emblems, the silver buttons gleaming in the morning sun.

The Douluo Federation's reception officials were already lined up at the port, leading a group of men dressed in white suits.

He stepped forward, placed his right hand on his chest in a gesture of respect, and smiled, saying, "Welcome, esteemed envoys of the Star Luo Federation." The head of the delegation returned the courtesy with the same standard greeting, presenting the gilded documents with both hands. "We are here on the orders of the Speaker of the Star Luo Empire Council to deliver these documents."

The Federation official took the documents and said with a smile, "You must be tired from your journey. Please come with us to the guesthouse to rest."

The Tianhai Governor has prepared a luncheon and looks forward to meeting you all.

Afterwards, Federation officials naturally led these people to the Skysea Administrative Center, preparing to give them a proper welcome.

"There are nobles among them." Some people noticed that the behavior of several members of this delegation was unusual and secretly speculated.

While the officials of Skysea City were observing these visitors from the Star Luo Empire, they were also observing the situation of the Federation along the way.

The Star Luo Empire delegation's gaze slowly swept across the streets, secretly marveling at the prosperity of Skysea City. Towering soul-guided buildings gleamed in the sunlight, soul-guided vehicles flowed endlessly along the wide streets, and pedestrians were impeccably dressed.

His expression was calm and composed.

Such a scene is not uncommon in their Star Luo Federation, but that is the capital city, while Skysea City is just a coastal city of the Federation.

However, some people don't take it seriously.

The delegation included several young men and women, one of whom was very young, appearing to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, yet she was extremely beautiful and graceful. What was particularly striking were her hands, which were as white as jade and had long, slender fingers.

But compared to her appearance, her eyes were exceptionally sharp.

She whispered, in a voice only her companions could hear, "Is this the Federation? It doesn't seem like much. Although the technology is advanced, the Soul Masters' senses aren't very strong."

In response to Lin Yuhan's remarks, one of her companions expressed her agreement.

"Yes, the strongest person who came to receive us was only a Soul Emperor. It seems they have been focusing on the development of Soul Guidance Technology all these years, but the Soul Master aspect is probably still the same as it was Ten Thousand Years Ago, with Soul Guidance Technology not being valued as much."

The Sun Moon Empire has a tradition of valuing Soul Guidance Technology, and the Douluo Federation has clearly continued this tradition.

Another person disagreed, "You can't say that. At least with the Shrek Academy around, the Federation's Soul Masters are definitely not to be underestimated. I've heard there are four major powers here, with numerous powerful individuals."

"That's right, Yuhan, don't underestimate them. This isn't the center of the Federation, it's just a first-tier city."

Many young people from the Star Luo Federation shared what they knew in their conversation, but their words still carried an air of arrogance.

Following the official arrangements of Skysea City, they only saw prosperity along the way, but did not witness the strength of the Federation.

But such a bustling city, a first-tier city in the Federation, can't possibly be unimportant, can it?

If there aren't any truly strong or talented individuals here, perhaps the Federation isn't as powerful as our elders think?

"Wait, are those Thousand Year Soul Spirit? The pillars of those great families?"

A young boy suddenly saw a group of Soul Masters and his own Soul Spirit playing around on the street. His expression first turned serious, then he breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "They must be the Soul Master geniuses from Skysea City, right? Their cultivation is a bit lacking."

However, possessing Thousand Year Soul Spirit is not bad.

These teenagers thought no one was hearing their conversation, but due to the difference in strength, the Federation officials in charge of receiving them naturally heard everything.

While purple Soul Spirit are indeed precious, they're hardly the backbone of a major clan, are they?

A family with Hundred Thousand Year Soul Spirit is a true great family, while Ten Thousand Year Soul Spirit is the backbone of a great family!

Can a family of Soul Masters without Hundred Thousand Year Soul Spirit or Ten Thousand Year Soul Spirit still be called a major family?

What does the Star Luo Federation think? Oh, right, they don't have Spirit Pagoda over there. It's strange enough that they have Soul Spirit spirits, but if they have more Soul Spirit spirits than the Douluo Federation, then it can only be said to be divine protection.

The official, who had long been displeased with the foreign visitors' comments and criticisms, chuckled inwardly and coughed lightly, saying:

"Judging from their school uniforms, they are just ordinary students of the Skysea Soul Master Academy, not considered geniuses in the entire Federation. Moreover, because of the existence of the Spirit Pagoda, while Thousand Year Soul Spirit are precious here, they are not exactly the backbone of major families. Only Ten Thousand Year Soul Spirit deserve such an honor."

"And Hundred Thousand Year Soul Spirit is a symbol of those top-tier families."

Those teenagers who were about to say these geniuses weren't all that great immediately shut up.

In their Star Luo Federation, Soul Spirit are a very precious thing. Soul masters from small families can only obtain Soul Spirit that are ten or a hundred years old at most. The number of Thousand Year Soul Spirit is very small. Only geniuses like them who can join the Monster Academy can obtain them.

The Ten Thousand Year Soul Spirit is a symbol of those who are destined for greatness.

As for Hundred Thousand Year Soul Spirit? Does the Star Luo Federation even have Hundred Thousand Year Soul Spirit?

He had never heard of any family possessing it!

But what is this Federation official saying? Do the major families of the Douluo Federation possess Hundred Thousand Year Soul Spirit?

Are you sure you're not bragging?!

The young man wanted to question it, but an elder leading the group transmitted a message to the younger generation. "Don't forget, this is the origin of Soul Spirit —the Spirit Pagoda. In terms of Soul Spirit, we are no match for the Douluo Federation. Don't humiliate yourselves."

Comparing Soul Spirit to the Douluo Federation? That's a joke!

Most of their Soul Spirit come from the Douluo Federation, how could they possibly surpass them in this respect!

Upon hearing this, the boy muttered to himself, "Why doesn't the Spirit Pagoda establish a branch in our area?"

With the help of the Spirit Pagoda, he felt that the Star Luo Federation wouldn't fall too far behind the Douluo Federation.

No one answered, while the Federation official secretly rolled his eyes.

Establishing branches in other countries? And providing you with Soul Spirit? Isn't that treason?

The Spirit Pagoda is doing well in the Federation, so why should it do these thankless and arduous tasks?

However, unlike the indifference of these Federation officials, the guests from the Star Luo Federation were intrigued after hearing the boy's words.

Their main purpose in coming to the Douluo Federation this time was to observe and understand the strength of the Douluo Federation from various aspects such as economy, soul masters, and technology.

But perhaps they could negotiate for more—for example, establishing a branch of the Spirit Pagoda within the Star Luo Empire?

The thought flashed through the minds of several high-ranking members of the mission.

The leading envoy remained expressionless, only slightly turning his head to whisper to his deputy beside him, "Write down the matter of the Spirit Pagoda. We can test their attitude later."

The deputy nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping thoughtfully over the Soul Master students on the street.

The antagonism between the Star Luo Continent and Douluo Continent is common knowledge. If it weren't for the vast ocean separating them, their conflict would likely be even more intense.

But this doesn't mean they can't win over the forces here.

The ancestors of the Star Luo Federation also came from the Douluo Continent. They were forced to migrate to the Star Luo Continent by the Sun Moon Empire and had no choice but to do so.

Some residents of the Douluo Federation believe that they were once one family and could perhaps reach a consensus peacefully, without having to fight to the death. Some factions within the Douluo Federation even worried that the Douluo might take action against their Star Luo Empire and provided them with some support.

This also shows that some forces within the Douluo Federation can be won over.

If the Spirit Pagoda is willing to establish a branch in the Star Luo Continent, the Speaker of their Star Luo Federation will surely show his sincerity!

Shocked by the Soul Spirit, the younger generation of the Star Luo Continent temporarily quieted down and stopped making comparisons.

Afterwards, the group met with the Federation Governor, received a warm welcome, and stayed in Skysea City for a few days.

In the past few days, they have witnessed firsthand the prosperity of the Douluo Federation.

Thousand Year Soul Spirit that can fetch astronomical prices in the Star Luo Empire are not uncommon here; well-off families of spirit masters can afford them.

What surprised Lin Yuhan and the others the most was that even a Soul Master from a commoner background could obtain Soul Spirit!

Furthermore, if they don't have the money to buy Soul Spirit, they can even "buy on credit" and sign a contract with the Spirit Pagoda.

We will repay this money through future actions.

This was simply unbelievable to the Star Luo Empire people.

Soul Masters of commoner origin are at the very bottom of the Soul Master class in their Star Luo Empire. This is because the Soul Beast and Soul Spirit on the continent are controlled by powerful Soul Master families, and the Martial Soul Awakening also requires the help of Soul Masters. Therefore, they must follow their arrangements to advance in order to rise in rank.

As for Soul Hunting in the ocean alone? Without a powerful soul master to guide you, would you dare?

The chances of surviving a solo Soul Hunting in the Star Dou Great Forest are very low, let alone in the ocean.

Such ordinary Soul Masters receive completely opposite treatment in the Douluo Federation. If ordinary Soul Masters in their own country saw this, they would probably be very envious.

In the Spirit Pagoda Skysea Branch, Lin Yuhan and the others looked at the bustling contract room and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Turning to Gu Qinghan, the Federation Soul Master acting as their "guide," Gu Qinghan asked, "Can we obtain Soul Spirit here?"

"If you reach the bottleneck and gain the Soul Spirit's approval, then naturally you can."

Gu Qinghan replied, "Of course, if you haven't reached your bottleneck, it's best not to disturb the Spirit Master's work. The Spirit Pagoda is one of the Four Great Federation Powers, with many powerful individuals, including seven Limit Douluo. The Branch Pagoda Master are all at least Super Douluo level. Here, it's best to abide by the rules of the Spirit Pagoda."

Seven Limit Douluo? And all the Branch Pagoda Master are Super Douluo?

Lin Yuhan and the others swallowed hard.

The Star Luo Federation only has one Limit.

And this powerful Spirit Pagoda is only one of the four major powers— the Federation. How can the Federation have such a terrifying number of top-tier experts?

Gu Qinghan glanced at the incredulous expressions on the faces of the young men and women, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

She had been feeling resentful for serving as a guide for the Star Luo Empire people these past few days.

It's unclear where these Star Luo Empire people get their confidence from. Despite being the defeated side Ten Thousand Years Ago, they are extremely proud and believe they are no less than the Federation.

Do they really think that after Ten Thousand Years of development, they can surpass the Federation?

Wishful thinking!

A young man from the Star Luo Empire remained silent for a moment, watching the passing Soul Masters. He noticed that one of them was dressed the same as the student from the Skysea Soul Master Academy he had seen a few days ago, and changed the subject.

"I've heard in the past few days that Skysea Soul Master Academy is the strongest academy in the Skysea Alliance. I wonder if we could have a chance to exchange ideas with its students?"

His observations over the past few days had made him somewhat irritable. Whether it was soul-guided technology, Soul Spirit, or the number of powerful individuals, his country seemed to have no advantage whatsoever.

Since that's the case, let's compare the talents of these next generation. He doesn't believe that the Douluo Federation is stronger than their Star Luo Empire Federation in every aspect.

If they were better than them in everything, wouldn't the Star Luo Empire clan have been wiped out long ago?

"The strongest?" Gu Qinghan thought for a moment and declined, "Within the Skysea Alliance, Skysea Soul Master Academy is naturally one of the best, but in the entire Federation, it can only be considered average. You are all geniuses from the Star Luo Empire. If you really want to exchange ideas, it would be better to go to those top-tier academies."

The boy scratched his head in disappointment and said helplessly, "Then I'd like to ask, what are the top universities in the Federation?"

Lin Yuhan: "Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy."

Several Star Luo Empire people frowned upon hearing these two names.

Shrek Academy? Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy?

They know these people well.

The former is a place highly regarded by the Star Luo Federation, with profound cultural heritage and a long history. The Star Luo Federation has a Monster Academy, which copied some of the theories of the Shrek Academy.

An elder who followed these younger generations, Lin Yuhan's forging teacher— Chang Gongyan— also knew this.

In some corner of the Star Luo Continent, there is a branch of the Shrek Academy. Although that branch is called Tang Sect, those who know the inside story understand that it belongs to the Shrek Academy and is also the channel of communication between the Star Luo Empire and Shrek Academy.

As for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, the Star Luo Empire people were naturally very familiar with it. However, unlike Shrek Academy, they only felt disgust for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. After all, it was a place that cultivated talents for the Sun Moon Empire, and one of the culprits who forced their ancestors to leave their homeland!

However, some geniuses do not join either of the two academies.

While Lin Yuhan and the others frowned in thought, Gu Qinghan added, "For example, Huo Yuhao, the strongest genius in our Douluo Federation right now!"

The young man from the Star Luo Empire raised an eyebrow. "Is he that powerful? Lin Yuhan beside me is a forging genius that Star Luo Empire sees only once in a century, and her strength as a Soul Master is also quite good. I wonder how much stronger this prodigy named Huo Yuhao is than her?"

There's absolutely no comparison!

Gu Qinghan glanced at Lin Yuhan, then her voice suddenly became agitated, startling the others.

"Huo Yuhao is currently fourteen years old. He has already advanced to the Soul Emperor, is Two-Word Battle Armor Master, a level seven Mecha Manufacturer, a level seven Mecha Designer, the owner of Black Level mecha, and is recognized by the Spirit Pagoda as the next generation of Spirit Pagoda Douluo, a future Limit Douluo, and Four-Word Battle Armor Master."

Her face showed admiration and pride. "Moreover, he's a Soul Master who came from our Skysea Alliance!"

Lin Yuhan and the others stared at her in disbelief. After a long while, the boy finally roared:

"This is impossible!!!"

Such a monster could not possibly exist in this world!
