Chapter 192 Target, Mingdu!
Three days later, all the contestants and teachers leading the Shrek team took off into the air, their target - Mingdu.

The new competition still has the same plot as the original novel, but this time the number of participating teams is slightly more than the 167 teams in the original novel, reaching a total of 314.

It's not because their time has not changed, but because the Sun-Moon Empire has made some concessions on conditions, so the number of participating teams has reached as many as 314. Luo Yu was fortunate enough to listen to some of the meeting as the prince's entourage, and even gave some suggestions.

In the early days, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition was open to all sects and academies, but in the past thousand years, for some unknown reason, the scale was reduced and only academies were allowed to participate. Su Yu did not know the reasons.

However, the power that could make the competition make such a decision, on this continent, it is easy to guess with your toes who it is...

This time, the Sun-Moon Empire encountered restrictions, and the participating teams naturally underwent earth-shaking changes.

However, because of Luo Yu's participation, the team size increased several times this time, not for any other reason, but because Luo Yu said this at the staff meeting organized by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Your Highness, I think there is no need to impose too many restrictions on the participating teams this time. First, as a participating team, if too many restrictions are imposed, there will still not be too many participants, which will not provide us with enough actual combat data for the Sun-Moon Empire. Shrek's strength lies in its research on the pinnacle of spirit masters. If we can also obtain a large amount of experimental data through this competition, I think in the future wars between us and the three empires and Shrek, we will not fail due to insufficient understanding of spirits."

"Secondly, as far as I know, the students participating in the competition from Shrek Academy are basically candidates for Shrek. Their strength means they are the strongest among their peers in the three empires. The more battles they experience, the more we will know about them. Moreover, we can also learn about the general strength of the younger generation of soul masters in the three empires through other participating teams."

"Third, as exchange students, the other students naturally know the strength of Shrek. Shrek is very powerful, but whether it is the three major empires or Shrek Academy, their soul guidance research is too far behind our Sun Moon Empire. This time we are not only competing for glory, but also showing our strength to the three major empires. The future is destined to be the era of soul guidance. What we have to do now is to spread the news that the Sun Moon Empire is a holy land of soul guidance. There is only one purpose for doing this, which is to weaken the soul guidance strength of the original three major empires."

…………

Even Xu Tianran had to admit that this was a pure conspiracy after listening to it.

In the end, Xu Tianran finalized the rules because after thinking about it, he found that this was indeed a good strategy.

Once the concept that the Sun-Moon Empire is the holy land of soul engineers is publicized, the future development of soul engineers will definitely mention the Sun-Moon Empire. This concept will be engraved in people's hearts, and the final outcome will be that soul engineers will choose to join the Sun-Moon Empire for the sake of strength and soul engineering research.

The concept of the country by the casual soul masters is actually not that profound. If it were that profound, then no matter how hard the soul masters of the other three empires tried in the future, they would never be able to become the holy land of soul masters.

Just like Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago, it was not because of how strong its teaching ability was, but because a god appeared in their academy!

What would happen if the Sun-Moon Empire demonstrated a level 10 soul guide in this competition?

The reason behind this is something that Xu Tianran, this extremely smart madman, would definitely understand. The smarter a person is, the less he needs to say the full content because he already knows it all.

Communication between smart people is always pleasant, but Xu Tianran is an exception because he is a madman!

A madman with ruthless tactics, strong desire for control, and extremely smart!
The last close minister of Xu Tianran had his house ransacked by Luo Yu himself, and none of the more than 300 members of his family survived, as they were all killed by Xu Tianran’s guards.

If Luo Yu's value was not great enough, perhaps after Xu Tianran came to power, the first thing he would do would be to liquidate Luo Yu. However, Xu Tianran was destined not to do this because he knew that liquidating Luo Yu would only make him lose his wings. Moreover, he suspected Luo Yu in the beginning, but later, with more and more detailed investigations, he could finally confirm that Luo Yu was a trustworthy person.

As the richest country on Douluo Continent, hosting such a competition is naturally a piece of cake. Moreover, not only can they earn more profits through this competition, because the soul guides of the Sun-Moon Empire are far superior to those of the three major empires, the profits can be imagined...

This time, the prize was changed to the soul guide of the Sun Moon Empire. In terms of rarity, the rarity of soul bones is indeed far higher than that of soul guides, but the versatility and practicality of soul bones are far inferior to those of soul guides. The quality of the soul skills provided by soul bones depends on the characteristics of the soul master himself, and whether the strongest characteristics of soul bones can be brought into play also depends on the ability of the soul master himself.

However, the value contained in a ninth-level soul guide is definitely far greater than that of soul bones. Even a hundred thousand year old soul bone cannot compare to a ninth-level soul guide!
Because the intrinsic value of the ninth-level soul guide device is not only a powerful weapon, but also the crystallization of the soul guide knowledge contained in the soul guide device. It is the ladder to the palace of knowledge that the three empires cannot refuse!

The significance of the ninth-level soul guide war is far more important than soul bones. Even a powerful sect like the Body Sect, which has more than a dozen Titled Douluo, was eventually reduced to ashes by the lightning attack of the Sun-Moon Empire's Soul Guide Corps. Even a huge sect like the Sky Soul Empire was destroyed in an instant.

This is the powerful versatility and practicality of soul guides, and this is the powerful war value that cannot be matched by soul bones!
Moreover, for a soul engineer, owning a high-level soul guide device is a dream come true. If one can thoroughly study the high-level soul guide device, his or her own strength will be further improved.

The improvement of soul engineers is inseparable from soul guides, and soul guides are accompanied by high prices. Soul engineers without financial strength can only choose to rely on powerful forces. This is an inevitable vicious circle... Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, and the Demiplane of the Undead.

Su Yu has now been in this undead demiplane for half a month. Although his current condition does not look as good as it appears on the surface, Old Yi is very satisfied with his performance in the past half month.

After half a month of training from Master Yi, Su Yu is now a quasi-necromancer. However, he still cannot use various high-level spells like Master Yi. However, Su Yu has basically mastered some curses and the undead summoning spells.

"Teacher, can I leave now? I can't stay in this crappy place for another day!" Su Yu protested dissatisfiedly.

He conservatively estimated that half a month had passed in this undead demiplane. During this half month, he had experienced countless crises. The most outrageous thing was that Master Yi sealed his soul power, making it impossible for him to use soul skills. Su Yu originally thought that it would not be excessive to use some soul guides.

But after using it once, Elder Yi immediately confiscated his storage soul guide...

Relying on manipulating the undead and the undead curse, as well as other soul-stealing techniques, Su Yu successfully became a qualified necromancer in a very short period of time using the most dangerous but most efficient method. It is no exaggeration to say that even if Su Yu now goes to the evil soul master's lair, he will not reveal any flaws.

Even those evil soul masters who have awakened the undead martial spirits may not be able to defeat Su Yu. After all, don’t you see who their teacher is?

Looking at the dusty and ragged Su Yu, Yi Lao nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad. Although the time is a bit short, there are still some results. Go ahead, go ahead. I guess it's about time."

"Mr. Yi, I know you still said that you didn't give me time to practice before, and now you are forcing me to do it. Can you find a suitable time in the future, or change the method..." Su Yu really didn't want to recall the miserable experience of the past ten days. He was chased all over the world by all kinds of strange undead creatures. The worst thing was that he actually encountered a bone dragon that was comparable to Contra. If Mr. Yi hadn't acted quickly, he, Su, would probably have died here.

Yi Lao smiled and said, "Boy, you can't say that. Forget it. You will know why later. If you were really tired, you probably wouldn't even have the strength to stand up now, but aren't you standing in front of me now?"

"I..." Su Yu was speechless for a moment and silently covered his forehead.

Only Su Yu himself knows the pain...

After leaving the Undead Demiplane, Su Yu returned to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. The Snow Queen no longer continued to practice. With the help of the power of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, she was finally able to leave Su Yu's sea of ​​consciousness and move freely for a short period of time.

However, there is a time limit for leaving. The reason why Su Yu was able to leave so quickly before was purely because of the peculiar environment of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. Otherwise, Xue Di would have lost control of her power long ago, causing her soul power to run wild and eventually exploded and died.

"Let's go, Xue Di, to Mingdu to meet your old acquaintance." Su Yu waved to Xue Di and spoke slowly.

"What's wrong? Are you out of retreat?" Xue Di retracted her power into her body and looked at Su Yu, who was in high spirits.

Su Yu nodded. "I guess so. You don't need to stay here any longer. Staying here will only cause too much power to accumulate in your body. Once it accumulates too much, if it gets out of balance, it will burst both you and me."

"I understand. After I leave here, I will fall into a deep sleep for a while. I need to absorb these powers. So while I am absorbing this power, I will not be able to come out to help you, so you should be careful."

After saying this, the Snow Queen turned into an icy rainbow and sank into Su Yu's brow.

It’s time to set off, our destination is Mingdu.

　Lifetime series.
