Huo Yuhao Arrives in the Spirit Hall Empire, the Phoenix God Clears Up Doubts!

"Next stop: Imperial Royal Academy of Sciences. Please exit at the rear!"

As the voice announcement of the Soul Guidance Bus's arrival at the station played, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Tang Ya, and Bei Bei all got off the bus.

Upon arriving in Spirit City, the group felt like country bumpkins visiting a grand garden, finding everything new and exciting.

It wasn't just Spirit City; when they arrived over the Phoenix God Continent aboard the Spirit Hall Empire's Warship, they were already captivated by this unfamiliar land.

Phoenix God Continent is a continent that flies in the sky, so to land on the Phoenix God Continent, Warship must be flying above the clouds.

Above the sea of clouds, a verdant continent floated in the sky.

Green Mountains, vast deserts and yellow sands, and even large areas of inland ocean.

Faced with such a beautiful view, Huo Yuhao and the others couldn't help but be stunned.

When they saw the major cities of the Spirit Hall Empire, Huo Yuhao and his companions were completely dumbfounded.

Currently, whether it's Douluo Continent or Sun Moon Continent, the most commonly used buildings are still made of wood and stone.

Therefore, on the Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent, you won't see buildings that are too tall; they are usually only three or four stories high.

However, even in some smaller cities that are not in the core of the Spirit Hall Empire, there are skyscrapers with dozens of floors.

The crisscrossing asphalt roads weaved through the traffic, with countless residents of the Spirit Hall Empire speeding by in all sorts of Soul Guidance Vehicle.

Those reinforced concrete buildings were even taller than the Golden Ancient Tree of the Shrek Academy, leaving Bei Bei and the others speechless with amazement.

Almost everyone was holding Soul Guidance Communicator; some were communicating, while others were reading books.

Many others, however, kept scrolling through the screen of their Soul Guidance Communicator, staring at the images on the screen and grinning foolishly.

What caught Huo Yuhao's attention most were the Soul Tool Warship and Soul Tool Mecha that flew overhead from time to time.

Although the standard Soul Tool Mecha of the Spirit Hall Empire are not as majestic and imposing as Xu Yi's Divine Mecha, the Golden Crow.

However, the sight of dozens of Mecha forming a neat formation and flying across the sky in a dark mass was still somewhat too astonishing.

The Spirit Hall Empire's fleet finally carried Huo Yuhao and his group to the Mingdu City.

Xu Yi told them to explore Spirit City on their own first, and then he would arrange things for them at the Royal Academy of Sciences.

When Huo Yuhao and his group arrived in Spirit City, they were first taken aback by the rows of shops of all sizes.

Unlike the shops in Shrek City, Spirit City, as the capital of the Spirit Hall Empire, boasts over a dozen large shopping malls.

Huo Yuhao and his companions were dressed in a way that was clearly different from the people of the Spirit Hall Empire.

So they went into the mall first, and each of them bought a piece of clothing.

The variety of clothing available, including Jeans, T-shirt, and Overalls, was indeed overwhelming for them.

Furthermore, music was playing in the mall, and neither Bei Bei nor Tang Ya, who had systematically studied Soul Tool, knew where the music was coming from.

"This is the first time I've ever been like this, how can I deny it..."

Walking down the streets of the Spirit Hall Empire, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but hum the song he had heard in the mall.

Before them stood a massive building, more than ten stories high. From above, the Royal Academy of Sciences of Sciences resembled a Phoenix about to take flight.

The soldiers of the Spirit Hall Empire responsible for guarding the Royal Academy of Sciences scanned them with Soul Tool they couldn't understand at all.

After their identities were confirmed, they were led into the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Bei Bei and Tang Ya's gazes were somewhat mischievous at this moment.

They genuinely wanted to see what kind of powerful Soul Tool the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Spirit Hall Empire was researching.

However, to their surprise, what they saw on the outside were large machines.

After the soldier beside them explained, Huo Yuhao and the others learned that these were actually large agricultural tools, such as harvesters, seeders, and Soul Guidance Drone used for irrigation.

Bei Bei asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Shouldn't the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Spirit Hall Empire be researching some high-powered Soul Tool?"

"What's the point of studying these ordinary farm tools in the most detailed way?"

"Ultimately, in terms of combat power, it's just a tiny, insignificant improvement."

Upon hearing Bei Bei's words, the soldier gave him a meaningful look.

Only a beast lacking confidence will constantly sharpen its claws, worrying whether they are sharp enough.

"What Phoenix God passed down to us is a people-oriented philosophy, which is something the Imperial Family and the Spirit Hall have always emphasized."

"Even ordinary people who haven't awakened a powerful Martial Soul, their lives are precious."

"With great power comes great responsibility. As Soul Master of the Empire, we have a duty to ensure that these ordinary people can live and work in peace and contentment."

"Now, ordinary people in the empire are not only responsible for agriculture and animal husbandry, but they also participate in a portion of the soul-guided industry."

"For example, the outer shell of the Soul Guidance Automobile, and some other parts that don't require Forging, were all made with the help of ordinary people."

"I heard that awakening Martial Soul in the Douluo Continent now costs money, and there are even cases where people are eight or nine years old but still don't have the money to awaken their Martial Soul?"

"Such a thing is absolutely forbidden in our Spirit Hall Empire. All children of the appropriate age must have their Martial Soul awakened by a professional Soul Master from the Empire upon reaching the age of six."

"Then, the young Soul Master who awaken their Soul Power will immediately begin compulsory education at the Soul Master Academy until they reach adulthood."

Both Bei Bei and Tang Ya looked somewhat embarrassed after hearing the soldier's words.

They also knew that in the Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago, the awakening of Martial Soul by eligible children was done free of charge by Soul Master sent by the Spirit Hall.

However, after the Spirit Hall was destroyed, no one did this work anymore. Children from ordinary families who wanted to awaken their Martial Soul had to spend a lot of money to find Soul Master willing to do this kind of work.

Even the subsidies given to Soul Master took hundreds of years to recover.

Legend has it that the royal families of the Three Great Empires believed that all the Soul Master on the Douluo Continent obeyed the orders of the Shrek Academy. In order to win over the hearts of the people and weaken the influence of the Shrek Academy, they issued these subsidies.

"Alright, Dean Xu is waiting for you up ahead, hurry up and go!"

Following the direction indicated by the soldier, Huo Yuhao and his group went there.

Xu Yi was standing in front of the Phoenix God Statue in the very center of the Royal Academy of Sciences, smiling as he looked at them.

"Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, you two may come here to pray to the Phoenix God."

"And all your questions will now be answered!"
