Bo Saixi: Didn't Tang San become the Sea God? Why are there no sea soul masters twenty thousand years later?

Over the next few days, Luo Chen kept getting approached by girls thanks to his looks, which were even more handsome than Tang Wulin's, but Gu Yue firmly turned them all away.

On the Douluo Continent during the Spirit Hall era.

Spirit Hall established the Spirit Hall Empire and advanced toward the Heaven Dou Empire, while also dispatching numerous Titled Douluo experts to search for Tang San at sea.

At Yu Xiaogang's suggestion, the Heaven Dou Empire sought cooperation with the Star Luo Empire to resist the Spirit Hall Empire together.

But the Star Luo Empire refused!

Thus, the Heaven Dou Empire could only face the pressure from the Spirit Hall Empire alone.

Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent during the Peerless Tang Sect era.

The Body Sect attacked the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and successfully brought Huo Yuhao back to the Body Sect.

Shrek Academy only barely managed to hold off the beast tide with help from the Star Luo Empire.

Of course, the main reason was that the ferocious beasts had discovered the Emperor Auspicious Beast was missing!

That was what gave Shrek City time to catch its breath.

As the days passed, a new balance gradually began to take shape.

Only the Star Luo Empire's emperors from the two eras were still puzzled.

"Wait, why haven't we reached our destination yet? How long has it been? Where on earth did the Star Luo Empire move to?"

The next day,

Just as everyone thought it would be another boring day.

In the sky screen, the massive ship carrying Luo Chen and the others came under attack from sea soul beasts!

Di Tian said, "Didn't they say soul beasts had gone extinct? Why are there still so many sea soul beasts?"

At that moment, a possibility suddenly struck Di Tian.

"Fine, fine, fine, Tang San. So you were targeting us land soul beasts, huh?"

On-screen, thousands of sea soul beasts surfaced under the leadership of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, radiating an oppressive presence.

On the human side, five Titled Douluo-level experts hovered in midair, confronting the sea soul beasts.

Leading them was Silver Moon Douluo, Cai Yue'er.

"Humans, you trespassed into our territory and slaughtered my kin. Hand over the culprit, or all of you will be buried here!" A terrifying mental voice rang out from the depths of the sea.

Cai Yue'er responded gravely, "We were merely passing through. We haven't killed any of your kin. If you don't make way, don't blame us for showing no mercy. Do you think two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts alone can stop us? There has never been a shortage of humans in need of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."

At those words, the auras surrounding the Demon Soul Great White Shark King and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King immediately turned violent.

Then the two sides began fighting in earnest.

The five Titled Douluo on the human side all released their battle armor.

As Cai Yue'er released her Three-Word Battle Armor, her strength immediately rose several tiers.

Nine soul rings appeared beneath her feet: three purple, three black, and three red.

Those last three red soul rings, in particular, flashed so brightly that Di Tian's eyes turned red!

The people from Spirit Hall watching the sky screen were secretly alarmed.

"Big brother, what exactly is that? Why do I feel that after putting it on, her strength is no less than mine?" Golden Crocodile Douluo asked in shock.

He could sense that Cai Yue'er's soul power was lower than his, but after she equipped that battle armor, even he wasn't completely confident he could defeat her.

Qian Daoliu let out a long sigh.

"Has the curtain finally fallen on pure soul masters like us?"

Ten thousand years earlier, during the Peerless Tang Sect era, at Shrek Academy.

Yan Shaozhe was full of disdain for this sort of soul tool that assisted soul masters in battle!

"A teacher of the illustrious Shrek actually needs soul tools to help her fight. This is an utter insult to Shrek!"

"No matter how powerful soul tools are, could they ever surpass pure soul masters?"

Yan Shaozhe's words drew Qian Duoduo's displeasure.

"What's wrong with soul tools? What's wrong with soul engineers? This is the tide of progress!"

"People like you will only be swept aside by the times!"

"What do you mean by that, Old Qian?" The two started arguing again.

Meanwhile, in the Sun Moon Empire,

The Sun Moon Empire's two strongest soul engineers, aside from Ye Xishui, were standing together.

Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming stared fixedly at the battle armor.

"Elder Kong, could our idea really have become reality ten thousand years later?"

"Very likely. Hongchen, record the design of this battle armor and have the people at Mingde Hall study it carefully."

"Yes, Elder Kong," Jing Hongchen replied respectfully.

At the same time, Jing Hongchen was wondering: since this kind of soul tool that enhanced a soul master's strength had appeared ten thousand years later,

Would the humanoid mechas Mingde Hall was researching also appear ten thousand years later?

If he had an army of humanoid mechas!

Then the person who united the Douluo Continent might very well be him, Jing Hongchen!

The Sun Moon Empire could yet bear the name Jing!

The Douluo Continent could yet belong to their Hongchen Family!

Compared with Jing Hongchen's private scheming, Kong Deming's thoughts were much simpler.

He only wanted soul engineers to become the mainstream.

And soul masters were destined to be supplanted by soul engineers!

In the sky screen, Luo Chen looked toward Cai Yue'er as she fought fiercely against the sea soul beasts.

Cai Yue'er had no idea what was going on, but Luo Chen knew perfectly well.

To help Tang Wulin practice the Body Sect's secret method, Mu Ye had killed quite a few sea soul beasts along the way.

Luo Chen looked at the chef beside Tang Wulin.

[Mu Ye, the Body Sect's sect master, was originally a cultivation genius of the Body Sect. He could have reached rank 99 and become a Limit Douluo. If he hadn't later become obsessed with mechas, how could his rank have stalled at 94? What a pity.]

[Battle armor was already a path to invincibility. Why insist on pursuing mechas instead?]

[Only top-tier soul masters can bring out the true power of battle armor and mechas!]

These words once again shocked everyone watching the sky screen.

First was Du Busi, who simply couldn't understand Mu Ye's actions.

"Wait, he could have cultivated all the way to Limit Douluo, but gave up cultivating for a soul tool?"

Jing Hongchen, on the other hand, was somewhat dazed.

Not long ago, Du Busi had led the Body Sect's disciples in an attack on his Mingde Hall, interrupting their subsequent mecha research.

Yet ten thousand years later, the Body Sect's sect master had become so obsessed with mechas that his cultivation ground to a halt.

Did this count as a kind of karmic cause and effect?

Kong Deming was equally dazed.

"Only top-tier soul masters can bring out the true power of battle armor and mechas?"

Did that mean he could never become the strongest soul engineer in his lifetime?

In the sky screen, another ferocious beast joined the battle and held Cai Yue'er back.

The battle reached a stalemate for the moment. Wu Changkong used his Martial Soul Avatar and froze the surface of the sea.

Aboard the massive ship, black mechas deployed one after another to withstand the sea soul beasts' successive attacks.

Outside the sky screen, Jing Hongchen's eyes lit up the moment he saw the mechas emerge!

The fruits of his years of research could actually succeed! He immediately gave an order.

"Notify the researchers at Mingde Hall to restart the humanoid mecha research project!"

If he had a mecha squad like that!

It would be more formidable than any soul engineer legion in the Sun Moon Empire.

The Sun Moon Empire should have borne the name Jing in the first place!

The Douluo Continent should have belonged to their Hongchen Family in the first place!

That damned Du Busi had nearly ruined his grand plan!

Meanwhile, during the Spirit Hall era,

Bo Saixi on Sea God Island was equally puzzled.

"Didn't Tang San become the Sea God? Why are there no sea soul masters twenty thousand years later?"

If there were sea soul masters, would they need to freeze the sea's surface to deal with sea soul beasts?

Couldn't they simply dive down and fight them?

Fighting in the sea was precisely the sea soul masters' forte!

"Could Shrek Academy have annexed my Sea God Island and left our sea soul master lineage no path to survival?"
