After discussing the doubts surrounding the Holy Spirit Cult and making detailed plans with Gu Yuena, Xu Xingyu continued with her daily life.

In addition to handling work, cultivation, and evening activities as before, Xu Xingyu is also in charge of training the team for this Soul Master Tournament.

On the surface, Gu Qiuxi and Wang Dong'er are the team leaders and vice-leaders, but the entire team knows that Xu Xingyu is the one with the real decision-making power.

This wasn't simply because of her identity, but more so because of Xu Xingyu's unimaginable strength.

However, even though she could single-handedly sweep through all the teams in this Soul Master Tournament, Xu Xingyu did not plan to play in any matches except those against the Holy Spirit Cult.

Beating up Evil Soul Master is a matter of course, and everyone has a responsibility, so there's no need to worry about the vast difference in cultivation level between you and them.

However, Xu Xingyu still had no interest in bullying the weaker teams.

Of course, he can't do nothing at all, otherwise it would give the impression that he's just freeloading.

This is why Xu Xingyu took the initiative to choose the task of being an instructor for the contestants in the Soul Master Tournament.

After all, even though everyone in this team possesses cultivation levels far exceeding those of their peers, apart from a few who participated in the last competition, the others have never cooperated with each other.

Therefore, in order to enhance the team members' teamwork, Xu Xingyu adopted the easiest teaching method, namely the so-called team practice.

Only through more team battles will they gradually learn how to cooperate with each other and utilize their respective strengths to achieve a synergy greater than the sum of its parts.

Xu Xingyu used two different methods to explain how she actually did it.

The first method is to divide the entire team into two, with Wang Dong'er and Gu Qiuxi, as the captain and vice-captain respectively, each leading a team to fight against each other.

The specific team members were selected by Wang Dong'er and Gu Qiuxi, in order to help the two captains better understand their teammates' abilities and learn how to properly utilize their skills.

Of course, it's not just team competitions; after all, the Soul Master Tournament also includes individual competitions and 2-2-3 matches, so there are quite a few variations.

The second method was to have all of them attack him alone. In this process Xu Xingyu would of course not use his full strength and would also add some restrictions to himself.

If you don't do this, it's just a matter of getting beaten up, and it won't have any training effect whatsoever.

These battles will be recorded and broadcast by the image-recording Soul Tool so that they can watch them during their leisure time.

The reason for doing this was to allow them to see from a third-person perspective how they performed in those battles, and what their strengths and weaknesses were.

This will allow them to think about how to make up for these shortcomings, and at the same time, make them reflect on how they should act in the next situation.

This period lasted for about a month before it ended, and Xu Xingyu led the participating team to the Sun Moon Empire.

As for how they got there? Although Xu Xingyu and Gu Yuena, who was in charge of supervising, could have simply used Power of Space to teleport them to the Spirit Contract Pagoda branch in Mingdu, that would have been so boring!

So Xu Xingyu drove the Spirit Contract Pagoda's latest soul-guided vehicle, letting them truly experience the charm of driving.

Xu Xingyu was driving a very stylish soul-guided vehicle. Its body shone with a streamlined metallic luster, and with the exquisite soul-guided array, it looked both gorgeous and full of technological sense.

When the vehicle is in motion, the suspension system at the bottom allows it to glide silently on the ground at extremely high speeds while maintaining stability, giving everyone inside the vehicle an unprecedented driving experience.

Although there are other soul-guided transportation options, they all have their limitations and cannot compare to Xu Xingyu's vehicle.

The smooth, bump-free driving experience completely surpassed their usual horse-drawn carriages. It just goes to show that high technology is indeed a symbol of human evolution.

This idea became even more firmly established when they entered Mingdu, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire and the venue for this Soul Master Tournament.

Along the way, Wang Dong'er and the others looked at the Sun Moon Empire through the car window.

Mingdu, as the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, is renowned for its highly advanced military Soul Guidance Technology.

The tall buildings lining both sides of the street shimmered with various colors of light, and all the buildings seemed exceptionally well-designed, as if they had undergone meticulous design and reinforcement.

Every corner of Mingdu seemed to conceal countless defensive measures, making the entire city resemble a massive, impregnable fortress.

At every entrance and exit of the city, there are towering defensive towers equipped with powerful Soul Cannon. These cannons can strike any threat in an instant.

The patrolling soldiers were well-equipped, each wearing Soul Tool Armor and wielding soul-guided weapons, vigilantly observing their surroundings.

The soul-guided barrier system on the streets is ready to activate at any time, capable of quickly forming an indestructible defensive barrier in emergencies, protecting the city from any danger.

Wang Dong'er and her teammates were deeply moved by what they saw.

Faced with this situation, they had to admit that although the Spirit Contract Pagoda had a high level of Soul Guidance Technology in some areas, the Sun Moon Empire, as the former number one country in Soul Guidance Technology, also had its own value.

After all, the vast majority of the Soul Guidance Technology of the Spirit Contract Pagoda revolves around the research of Soul Spirit. The few researches that are not related to Soul Spirit are only everyday Soul Tool, Battle Armor, and Mechs.

Nothing else can compare to the Soul Guidance Technology of the Sun Moon Empire.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Gu Yuena couldn't help but sigh softly, "Indeed, humans are the most creative race on this planet."

Just now, she used her Divine Sense to perceive that there was a special Soul Tool placed in each of the four corners of the central palace of this city.

The main function of this Soul Tool is to compress, store, and utilize Soul Power. Once it is unleashed at full power, even Limit Douluo could perish as a result.

Despite the fact that the Spirit Contract Pagoda possesses Battle Armor and mecha Soul Guidance Technology that is 10,000 years ahead of its time, these technologies were largely created thanks to Xu Xingyu's understanding of the original work and his extensive knowledge of weapon crafting from his time as the Starry Dragon Emperor.

Therefore, from a certain perspective, Xu Xingyu deserves at least 60% of the credit for the development of these Soul Guidance Technology.

Although their Soul Beast Clan can learn this knowledge and then create these things themselves.

However, their actions are ultimately based on imitation and modification of existing knowledge.

They had absolutely no way of coming up with these ingenious theories on their own, nor did they have the ability to turn these ingenious theories into reality.

Under these circumstances, it's normal for the Soul Beast Clan race to decline.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuena felt very fortunate and looked tenderly at her lover Xu Xingyu, who was driving.

Fortunately, she met Xu Xingyu, the reincarnation of the Dragon God's son; otherwise, relying solely on her own strength, the only path she could ultimately take would be similar to the one in the original story.

Sigh, recalling the original plot she had read in Xu Xingyu's mind, all she could think was, why was that version of herself so stupid?

As an embodiment of the Dragon God's wisdom, has its intelligence been completely consumed by its romantic mind?

However, considering that the Dragon God herself is quite love-obsessed, her behavior in the original work is quite normal.

Unfortunately, Xu Xingyu, as the son of the Dragon God, would occasionally complain about this. Although he loved his father very much, he sometimes couldn't accept some of his actions.
