Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 425 The calm before the storm

Ji Lin was very familiar with Xu Jiujiu's room in the palace. He held Xu Jiujiu in his arms, easily avoided the guards and palace maids, and quickly returned to Xu Jiujiu's room quietly.

Ordinary people dare not enter or leave the princess's room at will, but Ji Lin can do it with confidence.

Time passed day by day, and everything was peaceful at Zizaimen.

Ji Lin is working hard to create humans, the people of Zizai Gate are working hard to practice, the soul mentors from the Sun and Moon Empire are obsessed with new knowledge and have fallen into madness, and the Xingluo Empire is actively preparing for war.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed.

It was not only Zizaimen that was peaceful, but also the entire continent.

After so many changes happened in the Sun-Moon Empire, the continent seemed to have suddenly fallen into peace. Every country seemed very calm. The three countries that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent no longer asked the Sun-Moon Empire for people, and the Sun-Moon Empire did not take any further action. Even the small frictions and conflicts that used to occur frequently on the border suddenly disappeared during this period of time. It was like the calm before the storm, so quiet that it was scary.

The only event that was expected by everyone and of great significance was that Xu Tianran, the Crown Prince of the Sun-Moon Empire, officially ascended the throne and became the new generation of Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire. After ascending the throne, the new emperor seemed very low-key. He only issued a few decrees and rebuilt the damaged areas of Mingdu, but did not take any major actions.

In the eyes of the people, such peace is certainly a good thing, but in the eyes of discerning people, this is clearly the calm before the storm. Anyone who is slightly familiar with Xu Tianran knows that the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire is a man of great courage and heroism. How could he be so quiet? This is just a buffer before the outbreak.

The three kingdoms originally belonging to Douluo Continent are also making intensive preparations. War may come at any time, but for them, every extra day means they can be more fully prepared.

On the other hand, although the Xingluo Empire was also preparing for war, Xu Jiawei quietly transferred all the pro-royal factions to safe locations, and even took the initiative to delegate military power to Duke Baihu, allowing Duke Baihu to preside over the war against the Sun-Moon Empire, expressing his absolute trust in Duke Baihu.

The Xingluo royal family retreated behind the scenes and took charge of logistics, while the ones who stood in the front and took up the banner to fight against the Sun-Moon Empire were only the people of the White Tiger Duke's line.

Many nobles who supported the Duke of White Tiger did not understand what Xu Jiawei meant by this, but it did not prevent them from taking the opportunity to gather military power.

For Xu Jiawei, the military power in the hands of their Xingguan Sect was not much. Most of it was in the hands of Duke Baihu, the commander-in-chief of the three armies. The prestige of their royal family in the army was not as high as that of Duke Baihu, so it was better to let go.

Their Xingguan Sect only needs to preserve their strength during this turmoil caused by the Sun and Moon Empire.

The gap in soul guide technology has put the original Douluo Three Kingdoms in a completely passive position. If they want to catch up with the Sun-Moon Empire in technology, what the original Douluo Three Kingdoms need most is time.

The same goes for Shrek Academy. Although it has trained a group of excellent soul mentors and even made a breakthrough in the Sun-Moon Empire, it still takes time to monetize its technology.

It was in this context that Zizaimen once again expanded its territory.

The Zizai Gate, which was originally located in Xingluo City, moved to the suburbs of Xingluo City this time and occupied a large piece of land in the west city of Xingluo City, with an area more than ten times that of the previous one.

Although the continent-wide elite competition for senior young soul masters organized by the Sun-Moon Empire ended in failure, the reputation of Zizai Gate still spread throughout the continent. Everyone knew that Zizai Gate had made it to the finals and was set to win the championship. If it weren't for the sudden explosion in Mingdu, Zizai Gate would now be the first team to win the championship after Shrek Academy in a thousand years, which is of great significance.

However, due to the Mingdu explosion and the upcoming war, Zizaimen failed to obtain this honor. The good news is that the reputation has spread, and many students who graduated from the academy have come here to join Zizaimen.

Zizaimen's generous treatment, strong strength, and background that can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye have attracted a large number of talents to join. Even many talents who graduated from the external college of Shrek Academy have joined Zizaimen.

It’s a pity that there are too few disciples in Shrek Inner Academy, and most of them choose to stay in Shrek. Otherwise, with Ji Lin and his status as graduates of Shrek Inner Academy, they could really attract some Shrek Inner Academy geniuses to join.

However, with Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao in Shrek Academy, Ji Lin is not in a hurry, because Shrek Academy will be his sooner or later.

The new generation of Shrek Academy, Beibei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan and others all have a good relationship with Ji Lin. Together with Zhang Lexuan and others who have begun to take over the power of Poseidon Pavilion, they are just waiting for the older generation of Poseidon Pavilion to step down. Ji Lin still has the final say in Shrek.

During these two months, He Caitou and Huo Yuhao, who joined the Tang Sect, also transformed the Tang Sect's hidden weapon, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, into a soul guide weapon, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon, and cooperated with Shrek Academy to produce a large number of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon.

Because of their research results, the two redeemed themselves and Shrek Academy exempted them from punishment. After all, the academy did not want to punish them. After all, the dead were not from the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, but from the Sun-Moon Empire. Prejudice always exists, otherwise there would be students from the Sun-Moon Empire in Shrek Academy.

It’s not that people from the Sun-Moon Empire don’t want to study at Shrek Academy, but that Shrek Academy won’t accept them.

After all, it was the first academy on the continent, with a history of thousands of years. If Shrek Academy was willing, many people from the Sun Moon Empire would go and sign up. With the help of Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect established cooperation with the three major empires. A large number of various common metals and rare metals were constantly purchased at high prices and entered Shrek City, and then turned into soul guides and quietly shipped out.

In just two months, the Tang Sect has delivered three batches of soul guides, mainly the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, to the three empires.

After the test, the militaries of various countries were very satisfied, and the Tang Sect also received more orders. Ji Lin had foresight and invested in the Tang Sect early on. He and Shrek Academy were the two major shareholders of the Tang Sect. Therefore, Ji Lin and Zizai Sect also had a share of this profit, so everyone was happy.

For the Tang Sect, with Zizai Sect and Shrek Academy behind them, they don't have to worry about the covetousness of other evil spirits, and they can quickly make a name for themselves. For the Tang Sect's current acting leader Bei Bei, interests are not important. The most important thing is to let the Tang Sect rise again and help Tang Ya revitalize the Tang Sect.

In addition to the unexpected income from the Tang Sect, the main source of income for the Zizai Sect is the Holy Mark. Because of the appearance of the Holy Mark, the number of low-level soul masters in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms has skyrocketed, and the number of soul master troops formed by various countries has increased greatly. Equipped with soul guides and the Zhuge Divine Crossbow provided by the Tang Sect, their combat effectiveness has begun to catch up with the ordinary soul guide corps of the Sun and Moon Empire.

If the original Douluo Three Kingdoms were given enough time, they might actually be able to protect themselves. Although it is a pipe dream to catch up with the Sun-Moon Empire in soul guides, self-protection should be no problem.

After all, the number of soul guide corps in the Sun-Moon Empire is limited, and the number of soul masters is far less than that of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

If you can't get the quality, you can make up for it with quantity. If you have ten soul guide corps, I will use thirty soul master troops to fight against you, equipped with soul guides and Zhuge divine crossbows, which are not much inferior to the soul guide corps.

The door of freedom.

"boom--"

Amidst the violent roar, Nan Qiuqiu and Wang Donger flew to both sides at the same time, and Wang Qiuer's figure gradually appeared in the smoke and dust.

Her face was calm, her eyes were sharp, and she held a golden dragon spear in her hand.

Nan Qiuqiu stood there panting, with fear in her eyes. She was almost stabbed by the Golden Dragon Spear just now. Although it was not a fatal part, it would be very painful!
"Qiu'er, you are serious!"

Wang Dong'er, on the other hand, showed excitement. Without using the Clear Sky Hammer spirit, she was completely suppressed by Wang Qiu'er. But with Nan Qiuqiu joining her, she was finally able to fight Wang Qiu'er to a draw. She enjoyed this battle very much.

During these two months, apart from practicing, they also sparred with each other in the Zizaimen martial arts training area to improve their combat abilities.

Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er's cultivation is close to that of Soul Saint. The effect of the magic grass is still continuing to take effect. It will not be long before the two of them can break through to the Soul Saint level.

Wang Dong'er, Wang Qiu'er, Ye Guyi, and Xiaoxiao were all very hardworking in their cultivation. Nan Qiuqiu, who originally wanted to be lazy, had to work hard in this atmosphere. This made Nan Shuishui very pleased. She felt that the wisest decision she had made in her life was to sell Nan Qiuqiu to Ji Lin. Otherwise, there would be no Nan Qiuqiu today. With Nan Qiuqiu's talent and character, she would probably still be just a Soul King in Dilongmen.

After two months, Nan Qiuqiu, Wang Dong'er, Xiaoxiao and others formed a team to fight Ye Guyi and Wang Qiu'er. They cooperated with each other more and more tacitly, and even created a joint attack technique that was unique to them. Although it was not as good as the martial soul fusion technique, it was not bad either, and was much better than fighting alone.

If the two of them join forces, they can at least hold off Ye Guyi for a while. If he is not careful, Ye Guyi might be taken advantage of by them.

Of course, this was just a competition. Ye Guyi had no intention of killing, and he did not dare to use many powerful spirit skills at will. However, Wang Dong'er and the others were the same in this regard.

However, in the past two months, the women's progress has been quite amazing, and their practical experience has become more and more rich.

"Pah, pah, pah!"

A sound of applause was heard, and the girls turned around to look and saw Ji Lin standing lazily under the martial arts stage, looking at them with a faint smile.

Nan Qiuqiu curled her lips and said, "Isn't this our busy man, Master Ji? How come you have time to come here and watch us fight today?"

Ji Lin's mouth twitched and he glared at Nan Qiuqiu.

"Not bad! You have all made rapid progress recently. Have you decided what kind of stigma you want? Have you chosen the age and soul beast? We can ask the Liyue Chamber of Commerce to prepare it in advance."
