Volume 33, Chapter 431.2: Shes Donger! (2/2)
Huo Yuhao wasn’t too concerned about that. He turned towards Elder Xuan and said, “Don’t worry, Elder Xuan, I’ll protect teacher Wutong.”
“Who needs your protection?” Tang Wutong interjected.
Huo Yuhao smiled faintly, but said nothing. He didn’t want to argue with her.
Elder Xuan said, “Then you guys can set off. Wutong, don’t you want to see how miraculous and mystical Spirits are? You can follow Yuhao and the others to take a look. It’s a pity you already have your seventh soul ring. Otherwise, you could get yourself a Spirit along with everyone else.”
“Yes.” Tang Wutong was still very respectful towards Elder Xuan.
Bei Bei smiled and said, “We’ll be setting off immediately, Elder Xuan. Can Yuhao and the others go directly to the Star Luo Empire after we get our Spirits?”
Elder Xuan said, “Yes, they can do that. Yuhao, please pass back any news or intel as soon as possible.”
Bei Bei said, “Don’t worry, Elder Xuan. I will have the Tang Sect’s members maintain contact with Huo Yuhao from the beginning to the end. The Tang Sect has produced sound-transmitting soul tools that can reach a distance of roughly one hundred kilometers. As long as we send people as transit stations in between, we won’t need Huo Yuhao to run back and forth.”
Elder Xuan nodded and said, “You have to hurry on your side, the Tang Sect Soul Engineer Legion has to be established as quickly as possible. Lin’er and Duoduo will gather people over the next few days.
“I will give you two pointers! First, you have to help them adjust and adapt to using soul tools as quickly as possible. Just as you’ve said in the conference at the Sea God’s Pavilion, they will unleash custom-made soul tools according to their varying martial souls. Second, you have to use our advantages as soul masters as much as possible, and we can’t weaken our own forces because we’re using soul tools.”
“Yes!” Bei Bei answered reverently.
Elder Xuan waved his hand and said, “Go, then. Wutong is new here, so you guys should take care of her.”

Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei walked in front as they left the Sea God’s Pavilion, and Tang Wutong followed behind.
Bei Bei turned towards Tang Wutong and said, “Teacher Wutong, let me introduce our companions to you.”
Tang Wutong’s expression was cold, and she said nothing. However, Bei Bei acted as if he didn’t see her expression and introduced everyone one by one, anyway. Tang Wutong couldn’t help but grunt out loud when Bei Bei introduced Xu Sanshi, and it was clear that she didn’t have a good impression of him. Tang Wutong’s expression only became a little more gentle when Bei Bei was introducing the girls.
“Let’s set off right now, then. Yuhao, are we going to the Spirit Pagoda directly? Or are we going to the Great Star Dou Forest?”
Huo Yuhao said, “Let’s go to the Spirit Pagoda first. Even though the Spirit Pagoda has yet to be completed, the people from all incumbent parties have already moved in. The Emerald Swan has always been there to represent the Great Star Dou Forest, and it’s more convenient to ask her to find suitable soul beasts for us.”
The Emerald Swan could be said to be one of the most sensible and reasonable soul beasts, and she was very supportive of the Spirit Pagoda. Ever since the organization had been established, she had done quite a lot of work over on the soul beasts’ side.

They left the Academy and entered Shrek’s new city. They were no longer in the outskirts that used to be here.
After all the construction work that had been carried out over this period of time, and in addition to the immeasurable investments from various large trade associations and Shrek City itself, Shrek’s new city was starting to take shape. Construction sites were in full swing and buzzing with activity everywhere.
Bei Bei lamented, “After this new city is completely constructed, Shrek’s scale will be enough to compare with the capital cities of other empires. Even though we are still smaller in surface area than Radiant City, our position as the center of the Continent will be gradually consolidated in the future. In my opinion, the new city will be complete in only two or three years, at most.”
Huo Yuhao heaved a faint sigh and said, “There’s a precondition... that the new city isn’t laid to ruin by the fires of war.”
Bei Bei glanced at him and said, “Little junior brother, you seem to be very pessimistic towards the Heavenly Soul Empire! They have the Body Sect’s support. Are they really that weak?”
Huo Yuhao forced a laugh and said, “It’s not that the Heavenly Soul Empire is weak, but that the Sun Moon Empire’s soul tools are too powerful. Once Class 9 stationary soul cannon shells appear on the battlefield, at least for now, not a single force or entity can block or defend against them. Even Transcendent Douluo cannot possibly collide directly with those things. It’s hard to say how many Class 9 stationary soul cannon shells the Sun Moon Empire has in their arsenal, but I feel that they can’t have less than ten of them.
“When they were assaulting the Star Luo Empire, three Class 9 stationary soul cannon shells blew open a large gap in the Ming Dou Mountain Range. In terms of geographical and topographical advantages, the Heavenly Soul Empire is weaker than the Star Luo Empire, and if the Sun Moon Empire’s soul engineer legions appear on the battlefield right now, they might break through the Heavenly Soul Empire’s defenses like a hot knife through butter!”
