"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Not Much Money looked at his uncle's somewhat unusual expression and said with a hint of concern.
"It's nothing. It's just that for this information, you've really sacrificed too much, and our Qian Family has sacrificed too much."
After lamenting, Qian Duoduo ultimately did not tell Not Much Money about Xian Lin'er's ordeal.
"Uncle, they've treated me pretty well. Apart from restricting my freedom, I actually have been doing okay."
...
There wasn't much the uncle and nephew could say to each other, and soon Qian Duoduo left the room.
"Let's go."
"Senior, I think you should still consider the bigger picture."
"Enough, I won't listen to your rhetoric."
Qian Duoduo had already come to realize Su Yu's eloquent skills.
He could turn white into black.
"Senior, you're being a bit narrow-minded here.
I was just expressing my point of view.
Don't you have any feelings?
What exactly is Shrek's mission?
I haven't seen Shrek make any significant contribution in its ten thousand years of history.
Oh, to me, the hunting of Evil Soul Masters that you mentioned before is just a way to cover up your own mess.
The contribution I'm referring to is the development of the Soul Master realm.
Is today's Soul Master realm any different from ten thousand years ago?
I don't think it is.
In fact, Shrek has led the resistance against such a development opportunity like Soul-guiding Devices for thousands of years."
When Su Yu spoke these words, Qian Duoduo's ears twitched slightly.
He loved hearing this.
Soul-guiding Devices are an opportunity for the development of Soul Masters.
Those idiots in the Martial Soul System are all shortsighted.
"I assume you agree with what I said, Senior?
Don't you, as an insightful person, want to truly explore the ultimate power that can be unleashed when Soul-guiding Devices and Soul Masters are combined?
Do you really want to continue wasting your talents on meaningless ideological conflicts?"
Qian Duoduo snorted coldly but didn't say anything.
Su Yu continued clinging to his side, talking incessantly.
"What exactly are you trying to express?"
Qian Duoduo, now thoroughly annoyed, asked coldly.
"I just wanted to discuss your understanding of Soul-guiding Devices, Senior."
"Hmph!"
...
Su Yu noticed that Qian Duoduo had completely ignored his words and stopped talking.
However, during the conversation, he still shamelessly obtained Qian Duoduo's contact information.
Although Soul-guiding Devices haven't yet developed products similar to Soul-guiding phones, means of information exchange through resonance between Soul-guiding Devices have already appeared.
Returning to the reception room.
Su Yu saw Fan Yu's disappointed face and Huo Yuhao's slightly guilty expression.
Qian Duoduo once again asked Mirror Hongchen about the exchange student program.
The answer remained the same.
"Fan Yu, let's go."
Upon leaving Mingde Hall, Qian Duoduo noticed Fan Yu's strange mood and asked what happened.
"What? That blue-haired boy is the Huo Yuhao you mentioned before?"
Qian Duoduo felt like the world was playing a joke on him.
Why?
Why does a student from the Xingluo Empire end up in the Sun and Moon Empire?
Su Yu may be considered an exception, but why is Huo Yuhao here too?
Is this what Su Yu called the bigger picture?
Their reasons might be different, but they are all forced to join the Sun and Moon Empire.
Qian Duoduo thought of Su Yu's words.
"Choosing the Sun and Moon Empire isn't because it's better here; on the contrary, I feel remaining in the original Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent isn't good."
...
After Qian Duoduo left, Elder Ma entered the reception room.
"Hall Master."
"What is it?"
Mirror Hongchen saw Elder Ma's expression was a bit off and asked with a frown.
Elder Ma is only responsible for the operations of Mingde Hall; what unexpected things could possibly occur within Mingde Hall?
"Hall Master, the Crown Prince's people have just entered Mingde Hall."
"Hmm?" Mirror Hongchen's frown tightened, asking, "What are they here for?"
"They went to visit Xuan Ziweng."
"Xuan Ziweng?"
"Hall Master, those few people seem suspicious."
Elder Ma described the features of the people sent by the Crown Prince.
Mirror Hongchen was extremely angry.
"Bastard!"
What is Xu Tianran trying to do?
"Xiaoyu, you all should go back and cultivate."
Mirror Hongchen sent Su Yu and the others away, then headed to Xuan Ziweng's research institute with Elder Ma.
"Are they Evil Soul Masters?"
On his way back to the dormitory, Su Yu speculated.
The features Elder Ma described couldn't help but make Su Yu think of this.
Moreover, they were the Crown Prince's people.
There's a high possibility they are Evil Soul Masters.
But what do Evil Soul Masters want with Xuan Ziweng?
"Is it the Sealed Milk Bottle?"
The milk bottle is a type of auxiliary Soul-guiding Device, capable of pre-storing Soul Power for rapid recovery when needed.
However, in the Sun and Moon Empire, with the military application of Soul-guiding Devices, milk bottles also serve as the power source for important Soul-guided Cannons.
However, the milk bottles have a fatal flaw.
Which is the constant loss of the stored Soul Power within.
Xuan Ziweng is the only Soul Guide who has researched and developed the sealed milk bottle technology.
Xu Tianran now sends people to find Xuan Ziweng, which Mirror Hongchen can tolerate, but when the ones sent may be Evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Sect, it truly enrages Mirror Hongchen.
Leading those few Evil Soul Masters was Xu Kun.
The two sides faced off outside Xuan Ziweng's research laboratory.
...
Su Yu didn't join the commotion, focusing on cultivation in his dormitory.
The Crown Prince's action this time, whatever its purpose, Su Yu temporarily didn't want to care.
Instead, the Crown Prince's action reminded Su Yu.
Xuan Ziweng is a research genius.
Su Yu wanted to develop Battle Armor; perhaps Xuan Ziweng could be very helpful.
Moreover, there's the Soul-guiding Device that stores Soul Rings, which is also a groundbreaking product.
Leaving aside the projects not yet developed, just Xuan Ziweng's currently developed sealed milk bottle technology is of great use to Su Yu.
The sealed milk bottle technology allows the Soul Power within the bottle not to degrade.
Similarly, if the principle is applied to runes, it will further enhance the runes.
The fundamental aspect of runes is their stability, highlighting stability in the overall structure, maintaining the stability of the entire rune through interaction.
Once outlined, the effect can be solidified.
As long as there is constant Spiritual Power circulating within the rune, the entire rune won't collapse.
However, the rune itself was created by Su Yu referencing existing Soul-guiding Device Core Array technology, and he doesn't possess the sealed milk bottle technology, thus unable to solve the issue of energy dissipation.
In this way, the biggest problem of the Rune Technique arises.
That is, the Spiritual Power of the Soul Master must not be excessively consumed first; otherwise, insufficient Spiritual Power in the rune will lead to its collapse.
But if we incorporate the principles of the sealed milk bottle, this problem can be solved.
...
Sun and Moon Empire, Crown Prince's Mansion.
Xu Tianran toyed with a piece of Ninth-Level Soul-guiding Device in his hand, looking down at the Soul Guide below.
"God-Sealing Platform? Such big words!"
"Does His Highness not trust the legacy of my Sealing Demon series?" The Soul Guide was full of confidence, evidently extremely assured of their own sealing Soul-guiding Device technology.
