Ye Guyi: Teacher, long time no see; Lu Cheng: Danger! (4K)

The Half Undead Plane.

Dark clouds obscured most of the world, and the barren, Life land gave off a desolate feeling. Looking at the scattered undead soldiers around them, the people from the original continent had strange expressions.

"Where is this..." Xu Jiujiu stood on a small hill, his expression one of shock, gazing into the distance. Deep in the clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared, vaguely revealing the silhouette of a massive Bone Dragon.

Moreover, no Soul Power fluctuations can be sensed here.

Use a little, then less.

This is my world.

Lu Cheng chuckled, poked a line of chibi-style undead soldiers who had gathered around. The leader fell down, and the others immediately collapsed in disarray like dominoes. After a while, they scrambled to their feet, clutching bones and shields, and "alertly" sized up the intruders.

"Ouch..."

Tang Wutong looked at the undead knights surrounding her from afar with a face full of terror and timidity. Each of them had the combat power of Soul Saint, and there were hundreds of them at a glance.

Behind them stretched a vast army of undead cavalry, necromancers, and archers, seemingly endless.

Those Tang Sect disciples and Long Aotian, who knew the details, sat obediently beside Lu Cheng, their expressions calm; they had known all along.

"Stay on this hill, don't move."

Lu Cheng said calmly, "If you leave, don't come looking for me even if you're torn to pieces by those undead creatures."

"Gurgle~" Tang Wutong turned pale with fright and cautiously led a few Clear Sky Sect disciples back to a spot not far from Lu Cheng.

Seeing this, Xu Jiujiu and the others also restrained their own team members.

"Young Master Lu, it seems our academy's teachers... haven't come up yet." Xie Huanyue looked slightly embarrassed as he walked in and scratched his head.

"If that old good-for-nothing Xuan Zi doesn't want to believe it, then let him stay," Du Busi said with a grin. "We all heard it; he's the one who won't leave."

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old woman from the Star Luo Empire Manyi, coughed lightly twice and nodded slightly. The titled expert from the Dou Ling Empire hesitated for a moment, then also nodded.

With the strength of Xuan Zi and Xian Lin'er, it's impossible for them not to keep up.

"..." Xie Huanyue an awkward laugh, shrank back, and sat down.

Currently, the Shrek Academy Team has been split up, Bei Bei is dead, and Tang Wutong and others have formed their own faction, the Clear Sky Sect.

The two sisters, Lan Ruoruo Lan Susu, exchanged a glance, unable to suppress the longing in their eyes any longer. They stood up and, under Xie Huanyue's astonished gaze, walked towards Lu Cheng and the others.

"May I speak to you in private?" Lan Ruoruo said, biting her lip lightly.

"Which one of you is the older sister?" Lu Cheng asked with a smile.

"I..." Lan Susu stepped forward and spoke weakly.

"You want to join the Body Sect?" Lu Cheng continued.

"..."

A hush fell over the room.

The two sisters exchanged a glance, then nodded heavily, declaring with a sense of urgency, "Our Martial Soul are both hair, and we possess Martial Soul Fusion technique, which aligns with the Body Sect's philosophy, so..."

"Lan Ruoruo, Lan Susu, you..." Xie Huanyue was completely dumbfounded. She hadn't expected that, instead of sticking together for mutual support, her teammates would choose to defect to the enemy in public when Xuan Zi was not around.

"Shrek's spirit has crumbled." Manyi sighed inwardly upon seeing this scene.

It's not just a series of losses.

Furthermore, all of Shrek's long-accumulated illnesses and scars were revealed by Lu Cheng without reservation, exposed to the world.

And what they found was indeed shocking.

After all, who would be willing to send their disciple to an academy that squanders their Life at will, even if it has abundant resources? The things that Lu Cheng has exposed all demonstrate Shrek Academy's arrogance and lack of self-awareness.

If it weren't for the support of veteran powerhouses like Mu En and Xuan Zi, Shrek would probably have disbanded long ago.

But even if they manage to hold on, how long can they hold on?

Ten years, or twenty years?

Although this year's Shrek Academy disciples are strong, they have clearly relied on external forces. Just look at the reserve team; there's a lack of qualified successors, which is what an academy should fear most.

but...

Manyi smiled. This was a good thing for the Star Luo Empire.

The era of these vampires is finally coming to an end.

"Of course, even if it's not Body Martial Soul, you can still join the Body Sect." Lu Cheng smiled warmly.

However, the surrounding powerful figures noticed Sisi amiss.

For so many years, hasn't the Body Sect only recruited those with Body Martial Soul?

He actually agreed to change the rule... wait...

What is he trying to do?!

Not long ago, the Body Sect carried out sweeping reforms throughout the Heavenly Soul Empire, setting up various locations for awakening Martial Soul, providing free Martial Soul awakening opportunities for ordinary people.

Manyi's eyes were full of apprehension as she secretly glanced at Lu Cheng.

It seems they have quite the ambition.

However, their abilities justify their ambition.

With war looming, how should the Star Luo Empire respond?

Lan Ruoruo and Lan Susu left excitedly, and Long Aotian came over again, pulling Lu Cheng a little further away, and said excitedly, "Young Sect Master, we've struck it rich!"

"I roughly counted the Soul Tool taken this time: 321 level 4 long-range Soul Cannon, 123 Level 4 Milk Bottle, 421 level 4 Soul Guidance Ray Gun, and other Soul Cannon totaling 421. In addition, most of the high-level Soul Tool were level 7 or above, adding up to about 200 pieces."

"Oh, and there are also Fixed Soul Cannon Shell. There are over four hundred at level four, and one hundred at levels six, seven, and eight combined."

"Good."

Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly and nodded.

Although the Big Head the spoils from this trip came from rare metals, these Soul Tool should not be underestimated either.

According to the standards of the Sun Moon Empire's elite Soul Engineer Legion, this set is enough to equip an enhanced version of an elite Soul Engineer Legion.

As for the majority, they are all level four Soul Cannon.

This is because in the Douluo Continent, the Level 4 Soul Cannon is a bottleneck and a limit. It is the fastest to produce and has the highest power-to-efficiency ratio.

Therefore, each elite Beast Soul Engineer Legion is equipped with members at the basic level of Level 4 Soul Engineer.

Of course, even elite units like the Beast Soul Engineer Legion can't have all Soul Ancestor. At least half of the taxi drivers are Soul Elder, just there to make up the numbers. The armory contains enough Level 4 Soul Cannon to equip several elite Soul Engineer Legion.

However, unlike the Sun Moon Empire, Lu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly. Using disciples of the Body Sect to equip a Soul Engineer Legion was indeed a bit of a loss. After all, the advantage of Soul Master lies in individual combat, while Soul Tool are mass-produced and would distort the advantages of Soul Master.

Or sell it to Xu Jiujiu?

Lu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and decided to suppress his thoughts for the time being. Since he had done business with Xu Jiujiu earlier, he had almost sold out the rare metals of the Star Luo Empire. In addition, he did not accept Gold Soul Coin.

As for things like Soul Bone, his Body Sect has no shortage of them, so selling these Soul Tool now is completely unnecessary.

Moreover, the Star Luo Empire has grown significantly in this wave.

Having taken at least a third of the entire warehouse's stock, it was enough to form two elite Soul Engineer Legion. By relying on drugs, they were able to create two elite Soul Engineer Legion in a short period of time, which would have prevented them from suffering such a crushing defeat at the hands of the Sun Moon Empire in the Ming Dou Mountain Range.

The White Tiger Duke's 100,000-strong army is pure nonsense.

It shatters with a single flush.

"Understood, keep it for now, and give it to Elder Jing when we get back." Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

"Yes." Seeing Lu Cheng's calm expression, Long Aotian Aotian's excitement gradually faded, and he asked in surprise, "Young Sect Master, are you still not satisfied?"

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied." Lu Cheng shook his head.

"But these things aren't suitable for the Body Sect. The Body Sect is more suited to... Battle Armor."

"That is, individual combat capability, utilizing Soul Tool to maximize the effectiveness of each person's Martial Soul, rather than a mass-produced arsenal like the Sun Moon Empire."

"That's right, Battle Armor..."

Lu Cheng's eyes flickered.

The existence that gathers the ultimate essence of Soul Tool, the limit of individual combat power, yes!

He suddenly felt that he had grasped something. He shouldn't be confined to the framework set by the Sun Moon Empire. If Jing Hongchen were to start building a second "Illustrious Virtue Hall" from scratch, even if it were completed, the Body Sect's situation would be completely unsuitable for following the Sun Moon Empire's path.

That would be like Dong Shi imitating Xi Shi – not only wasting enormous human and material resources on cultivating basic Soul Tool, but also proving to be a thankless task.

It's better to skip it altogether and not compete with the Sun Moon Empire in terms of Soul Tool.

Instead, it's about... Battle Armor!

In any case, facts have already proven that ten thousand years later, most people are still using Battle Armor, and very few people are using Soul Tool anymore. In fact, in the eyes of most people, Soul Tool are already outdated.

And mechs... well, they're not really necessary.

The mechs of ten thousand years later are another extension of the current humanoid Soul Tool, abandoning individual characteristics and uniformly moving towards collectivization and assembly line engineering.

When I get back, I'll talk to Teacher Xuan about it.

Incidentally, this also led Elder Jing to change the direction of development, making it unnecessary to learn a large portion of the core formations for Soul Tool.

However, there is one tricky aspect to the Battle Armor.

It is metal forging...

Ultimately, Battle Armor is another extension of modern humanoid mechs, leaning more towards being small and refined, which means combining the soul-guided core array with forged metal.

The strength doesn't lie in the soul-guided core formation; it lies purely in the forged metal.

That's why blacksmiths would be so popular ten thousand years later.

But in this era, completing the Heavenly Refinement is extremely difficult...

So-called master craftsmen exist in this era, but they are nowhere near as powerful as they will be ten thousand years later. One possibility is that we could try training blacksmiths; the second is...

Lu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

That means skipping the step of forging metal!

For example, Huo Gua's Ice Extreme War God Armor was not forged by the Heavenly Refinement, but relied on an array + mental Control System + Ice Extreme Divine Crystal.

Ice Extreme Divine Crystal is equivalent to metal after forging.

Does this continent possess any rare metals similar to those obtained through forging?

Yes, there are quite a few.

It is estimated that during these ten thousand years of development, many people discovered this loophole, but it was used up over the years. After all, the sea tribes have an abundance of metal mines in the Far North, which are unparalleled.

It's time to go see the Far North and the ocean.

Lu Cheng exhaled a breath of stale air.

On the other side.

Evil Demon Forest.

Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters.

This place was both strangely familiar and unfamiliar to Lu Cheng. He followed Ye Guyi closely and joined the Holy Spirit Cult with this Holy Maiden, but the atmosphere became increasingly awkward.

Seeing Ye Guyi's passionate gaze and her frequent attempts to hold her hand and touch her, Lu Cheng was somewhat taken aback.

"This is the Holy Spirit Cult, so be careful," Lu Cheng said, frowning slightly.

"Yes, I know, Master." Ye Guyi softly, her voice as melodious as a silver bell.

Lu Cheng: "..."

Could you please remove your hand from my butt while you're talking?

It seems like you've joined the Holy Spirit Cult; you've stopped pretending at all.

"Let's go, Master, I'll take you to see the Holy Cult's secret chamber." Ye Guyi was quite eager.

"Um."

Lu Cheng pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Meanwhile, his own self had already entered the Undead Demiplane through the Mirror Clone, while his true self had followed Ye Guyi to the Holy Spirit Cult. As for why it was his true self, perhaps it was to make amends to this girl, or perhaps it was a sign of his confidence.

Anyway, you can leave at any time using the Half Undead Plane.

Although this Half Undead Plane can only appear in the place where it last disappeared, it cannot choose its landing point.

But he can exploit bugs.

Each of his Mirror Clone can serve as a foothold and can manipulate the Half Undead Plane.

This is why he dared to penetrate deep into the Holy Spirit Cult's stronghold.

As for the Mirror Clone... it will exist indefinitely as long as the original body doesn't die, continues to receive Soul Power, or doesn't disappear from this continental plane.

Disciples of the Holy Spirit Cult, clad in black robes, passed by from time to time, respectfully addressing the two as "Your Saintess Hall."

"The layout here... isn't quite right." Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow. He had been a Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult for many years and knew the structure of the Holy Altar headquarters like the back of his hand, but looking at the route and the layout of the surrounding corridors, everything gradually became unfamiliar.

"This was recently renovated. I don't like damp and cold environments, so I had them do some work on it again," Ye Guyi said, glancing around nervously.

"I see..." Lu Cheng nodded slightly, no longer harboring any doubts.

Until the end of the corridor.

In front of a large gate.

"Is this the place where the ' Holy Lord ' is worshipped?" Lu Cheng became suspicious again. "I remember when we were waiting for you to storm in at the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters, it wasn't here..."

"Ahem, perhaps you've misremembered." Ye Guyi scratched his head, looking completely innocent. "Anyway, this is indeed where the Holy Lord is enshrined. You'll see once you go inside."

"..."

Lu Cheng finally glanced at his side with some suspicion.

Ye Guyi stared wide-eyed, blinking rapidly, her little tiger teeth peeking out, her face full of seriousness.

"Alright, could it be that they're from two different worlds... and not quite the same?" Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow, scratching his head in confusion.

He walked straight up and slowly pushed open the door.

The inside was pitch black.

But as he walked in, lights gradually lit up, and all around him were various angel patterns, both male and female. The murals on the walls were also decorated with various angel patterns, some black and some gold, all lifelike.

But looking behind, something seemed a bit strange.

Clearly, this is an erotic picture between two angels?

In the end, it made everyone blush with embarrassment.

etc.

Lu Cheng turned around abruptly and realized that the door had been closed at some point, and Ye Guyi, who had been so obedient and sensible, was now gradually unfolding her six wings, half snow-white and half pitch-black.

The power of the Limit Douluo was no longer concealed in the slightest.

Her figure gradually settled on the bed at the far end of the secret room, smiling at Lu Cheng, "Master, you've kept Guyi waiting for so long..."

"Gurgle~"

Lu Cheng's throat bobbed. "Then, that Guyi... weren't we here to find the Holy Lord to help you lift the curse on your Sea of Consciousness? Don't scare me."

"Yes, teacher."

Ye Guyi smiled sweetly, patting the soft bed beneath her with her delicate hand. "You'll be able to help me untie it better if you're here..."

Lu Cheng: "..."

Danger!
