Kong Deming originally had no interest in contacting the Star Luo Imperial Family; he was only standing in front of Xu Jiawei to cooperate with Kong Xuan's plan.
Even though he was not in combat at the moment, Kong Deming was still wearing his silver One-Word Battle Armor.
He looked at Xu Jiawei, who was feigning composure, and slowly said, "I've come here to discuss a business deal with His Majesty."
Kong Deming's words left Xu Jiawei somewhat bewildered.
He had thought of countless ways to start, but he never expected Kong Deming to say this as his first words.
Xu Jiawei was naturally envious of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tool, but he didn't believe Kong Deming had come to discuss that.
After all, many Soul Tool are prohibited from being sold to those originally belonging to the Douluo Three Kingdoms; this is a national policy of the Sun Moon Empire.
Xu Jiawei, looking rather uninterested, asked, "What kind of business does Your Majesty wish to discuss?"
Kong Deming spread his arms and said, "This Soul Tool Armor I'm wearing is the latest creation of the Sun Moon Empire, called Battle Armor!"
"During the previous competition, my grandson Kong Xuan was also wearing Battle Armor, and I believe Your Majesty witnessed its power firsthand."
"Take one of its effects for example: after Soul King- level Soul Master wears this Battle Armor, their Soul Power can be raised to the Soul Saint level!"
Kong Deming deliberately raised his voice, which rolled across the entire Star Luo Plaza like thunder.
After he uttered those last words, the square, which housed hundreds of thousands of people, fell into a deathly silence.
Upon hearing about the effects of the Battle Armor, everyone had only one thought in their minds: Impossible!
Raising Soul Power from the Soul King level to the Soul Saint level is something even the top Auxiliary System Soul Engineer cannot achieve.
However, Kong Xuan's changes in aura during the competition were undeniable. With him as a living example, even if it seems unbelievable, many people have now chosen to believe it.
In an instant, a cacophony of exclamations, doubts, and gasps that nearly lifted the sky drowned out the previous silence.
All the Soul Master, regardless of their level or country of origin, were now in utter shock!
A level 20 boost to Soul Power!
What does this mean?
This means that high-level combatants at the Soul Saint level can be mass-produced!
After all, the difficulty of a Soul Master cultivating to Soul Saint and Soul King is worlds apart, but now, as long as there is Battle Armor, Soul King can immediately become Soul Saint!
This is no longer just an ordinary soul-guided equipment; it is a strategic weapon capable of changing the entire continent's Soul Master hierarchy and power structure!
Standing opposite Kong Deming, Xu Jiawei could no longer maintain his composure, his voice trembling slightly as he asked, "The business Your Majesty speaks of... could it be this Battle Armor?!"
Despite feeling it was impossible, Xu Jiawei couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, it's Battle Armor!"
Kong Deming's answer surprised Xu Jiawei. He couldn't understand why the Sun Moon Empire would sell such a powerful Soul Tool to the Star Luo Empire, after all, the two countries were considered enemies.
Kong Deming continued, "If Your Majesty is interested, you can send someone to the Sun Moon Worship Hall to discuss the specific details of the cooperation."
After saying this, without giving Xu Jiawei a chance to ask any further questions, Kong Deming disappeared from his sight.
Kong Deming did not return to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's team, as if he had already left Star Luo Plaza.
With his departure, today's match has officially come to an end.
Although some unexpected events occurred after the competition, the necessary procedures still need to be followed.
The Heavenly Fiend Douluo reappeared and began announcing the final results of the competition, as well as awarding prizes to the champion and runner-up.
Xu Jiawei sat down again, pondering Kong Deming's words, and asked the Giant Strength Douluo beside him.
"What exactly do you think this Silver Moon Douluo means? Will he really sell Battle Armor to the Star Luo Empire?"
After thinking for a moment, the Mighty Douluo Cheng Gang said, "Your Majesty, the Sun Moon Empire harbors wolfish ambitions and has always wanted to unify the continent. I believe there must be a conspiracy involved."
Xu Jiawei nodded; this was also what he was worried about.
But what should we do now?
Regarding the specific matter, he looked to the other side and asked, "Prime Minister, what are your thoughts?"
"Your Majesty, I also suspect something is amiss. Although this Battle Armor is powerful, it is, after all, crafted by the Sun Moon. If they might use some underhanded tactics, we must be on guard."
Xu Jiawei frowned, but nodded, then asked, "Does the Prime Minister think this cooperation is still worth discussing?"
The Prime Minister laughed and said, "Of course we must talk, otherwise how can we know what their true intentions are?"
"However, even if the Battle Armor is powerful, we cannot rely on it too much."
Xu Jiawei pondered for a moment, then finally said, "Very well, then I would like to trouble the Prime Minister to come up with a plan."
After eighteen days, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament has finally come to a close.
This competition is destined to be a significant chapter in the history books of various countries.
This was the first time Shrek Academy had lost its championship title. Furthermore, the subsequent events, such as Kong Deming of Sun Moon Academy easily defeating Xuan Zi of Shrek Academy, and the first official appearance of the Battle Armor, were all events with a huge impact.
The day after the competition ended, the group from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy embarked on their journey back to the Sun Moon Empire.
With the protection of Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming, naturally no one dared to come up and court death along the way.
On the way back, Ma Sheng couldn't help but lean close to Kong Deming and ask, " Elder Kong, are you really going to sell the Battle Armor to the Star Luo Empire?"
Kong Deming answered without hesitation, "What is said in public is naturally true."
Ma Sheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "But the Star Luo Empire is an enemy of the Sun Moon. Isn't what Elder Kong is doing...?"
He didn't finish his sentence, but Kong Deming understood his meaning and laughed, "You mean to say it's aiding the enemy?"
Ma Sheng nodded; that was exactly what he meant.
Kong Deming recalled the plan Kong Xuan had once told him. If it could really be realized, perhaps everything would be different.
He smiled mysteriously, " The Battle Armor sold to them by the Worship Hall naturally had a backup plan."
"If the Star Luo Empire tries to use Battle Armor against the Sun Moon, they will be the ones who suffer."
Just as the Prime Minister of the Star Luo Empire had guessed, Kong Deming wouldn't let them get away with it so easily.
Kong Deming then explained, "Furthermore, I only agreed to sell the Battle Armor to the Star Luo Empire; I haven't cooperated with Heavenly Soul or Dou Ling."
" The Douluo Three Kingdoms, though seemingly united against my Sun Moon Empire, were not a monolithic entity."
"What do you think the other two countries would think if the Star Luo Empire gradually grew stronger because of its Battle Armor?"
Hearing this, Ma Sheng understood the key point and exclaimed excitedly, "Brilliant! We don't even need to lift a finger; the three kingdoms will probably fall into chaos on their own."
"Even if a balance is barely maintained, the power of the Star Luo Empire will cause the three kingdoms to distrust each other, making it difficult to form a united force."
After calming down, Ma Sheng asked another question, "But Elder Kong, what if the Star Luo Empire discovers the secrets hidden within the Battle Armor they sold them?"
Kong Deming confidently laughed, "With their Soul Tool Technology alone, even if they research for another hundred years, they absolutely will not be able to create Battle Armor!"
Battle Armor is a product from ten thousand years in the future, and its manufacturing logic differs greatly from the current soul guidance system.
The Star Luo Empire doesn't even have a single Level 9 Soul Engineer, so it's indeed unlikely they'll be able to fully understand Battle Armor within a hundred years.
In fact, there was one more thing Kong Deming didn't say: this was also a beginning, the beginning of "colonizing" the original Douluo Three Kingdoms through Soul Tool!
