Under normal circ.u.mstances, suits of two-word battle armor only required spirit refined metals to be constructed. There were extremely few two-word battle armor masters with spirit alloys used in their suits of battle armor, let alone alloys created from three types of metals like the ones they were using.

It was a ma.s.sive upgrade from a suit of one-word battle armor to a suit of two-word battle armor, and the benefits of using alloys would gradually begin to s.h.i.+ne through at this stage. For their current cultivation ranks, this was already sufficient.

Every piece of battle armor that Tang Wulin finished refining would be taken by Ye Xinglan to another chamber for the finis.h.i.+ng touches to be applied.

As time pa.s.sed, Tang Wulin became more and more accustomed to his skills as a Saint Blacksmith, and for him, the process of upgrading battle armor was a very important and meaningful one. The fact that failure wasn't an option made it so that he had to fully concentrate on his forging, and even though the process was quite simple to him, it also gave him a profound understanding of the level that he was currently at.

Regardless of what kind of chaos was spreading into the outside world, Tang Wulin and his friends continued to improve themselves with all their might inside the belly of this mountain.

……

Bright City.

This was the capital of the Douluo Federation, and once the second-largest city on the continent, second only to Shrek City. However, ever since the destruction of Shrek City, it had become the largest city on the Douluo Continent.

The atmosphere in Bright City had been extremely tense during the past few days.

There was no way to keep a monumental event like the destruction of Shrek City confidential from the public. It was undoubtedly the case that the organization that all evil Soul Masters hated the most was Shrek Academy, which had been constantly keeping them in check for countless years. Second to that the Tang Sect, which was always deploying Battle Hall agents to hunt down evil Soul Masters all over the continent.

So what was the third-most hated ent.i.ty in their eyes? It was most definitely the capital of the Douluo Continent, Bright City.

In the aftermath of that terrorist attack, many of the city's residents had chosen to move to rural suburbs or smaller cities. They were concerned for their own safety, as well as the current state that the government was in.

Now that the federal parliament had disbanded, the government had fallen into a semi-crippled state. After this, the parliament was going to be reformed, and at the same time, a series of revenge missions and exhaustive searches were going to be carried out against all evil Soul Masters in response to the recent terrorist attack.

The Holy Spirit Cult seemed to have already predicted all of this in advance as all of their members suddenly disappeared following that terrorist attack, leaving not even a single trace to be found. The federal military was doing everything in its power to search for members of the cult, but they had very little to show for their efforts.

The parliamentary reform was finally completed after three months, and it was undoubtedly the case that the aggressive Eagle Faction had taken the upper hand. The Battle G.o.d Hall had secured seven parliamentary seats, and the number of seats given to the military had increased by over a third.

Following the conclusion of this reform, many laws were introduced. A zero-tolerance approach was adopted against the Holy Spirit Cult, and everyone had the right to kill evil Soul Masters on sight. After verification, those who managed to kill evil Soul Masters were even ent.i.tled to handsome rewards from the federation, and those who came forward with useful information would also be rewarded.

At the same time, the government decided to pour more resources into strengthening the Battle G.o.d Hall, as well as to expand the military in order to better target the Holy Spirit Cult.

The most important task came next, and that was to provide rea.s.surance to the general public.

The government gave permission to the military to enter all of the major cities with the most cutting-edge sensory devices to conduct exhaustive searches, in order to ensure that there were no longer any underlying threats lurking within those cities.

After all of these measures were adopted, the situation on the Douluo Continent finally began to gradually stabilize around half a year after the Shrek City bombing. However, those two colossal craters still remained at the site where Shrek City once stood.

Strangely enough, the Tang Sect didn't display much of a reaction following the attack. Instead, all of the companies of the Tang Sect in the major cities closed down one after another, and the Radiant Tang Sect Technology Limited Corporation, which was being run directly by the Tang Sect, had also completely shut down. What was once the most powerful sect on the entire continent seemed to have been completely crushed by the impact of this bombing.

This was something that the vast majority of people didn't wish to see. There were some Shrek Academy graduates who made all types of vehement statements, vowing to avenge and rebuild their academy.

Some people also proposed for the newly-elected federal parliament to rebuild Shrek City, but the federation didn't have any plans to do this in the immediate future. It seemed that they didn't have any time or resources to spare toward that initiative for now. As such, the two ma.s.sive craters remained on the plot of land that was once Shrek City.

”Sister, do you think the federation really isn't going to let Shrek Academy rebuild?” Shen Xing asked her sister, the latter of which had two general stars on her epaulets.
