Chapter 251 It's Time to Leave
Although the situation was quite complicated due to the large number of people on the Soul Guidance Warship and the fluctuating Soul Power, making it impossible for this Title Douluo-level Evil Soul Master to control everyone, the sudden emergence of these fearless Evil Soul Masters and Soul Guidance Masters made the situation on the Soul Guidance Warship even more complicated, and also caused the Shrek Academy members to be somewhat at a loss.
Because the defense was misdirected from the start, the soul defense devices worn by the Shrek Academy elders were largely ineffective. Their once-perfect soul shields were now only functioning as alarms for soul position shifts.
However, the elders of Shrek Academy did not harbor any resentment because of the poor performance of the soul defense soul tool. After all, the defensive soul tool they had was only an eighth-level soul tool and was no match for an opponent at the Title Douluo level. Now that it could be of some use and could even indicate that their condition was in trouble, the elders were already quite satisfied.
Knowing they were affected was one thing, but in the current situation, retreating was indeed impossible. Left with no other choice, the elders could only send those with slightly lower soul deviation values to the rear guard, to do the work that had been interrupted by the legend. The people on the ship were practically fighting tooth and nail; they needed to retreat, surround the area, and re-enter when the fighting was nearly over.
However, before completely withdrawing, Shrek Academy suddenly exerted its strength, bringing out the Mingde Hall fleet leader, whose eyes were already turning bloodshot. Seeing their own people withdraw, many of Shrek Academy's elders began to fumble with their storage soul tools. One by one, cannon barrels were pulled out by these Title Douluos who had practically never used combat-type soul tools in their lives, then somewhat clumsily equipped them, and finally arrogantly opened fire.
These soul tools weren't particularly high-level, only level seven with the occasional level eight. Theoretically, they shouldn't be able to do anything to the crazed evil soul masters and soul guides on the ship. However, Shrek Academy's goal wasn't annihilation but disruption. If the disruption was strong enough, the people on the ship wouldn't be able to work together to break out. The longer this chaos lasted, the higher Shrek Academy's chances of winning this encirclement would be. The best outcome would be for the people on the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool warship to simply stop fighting amongst themselves in the chaos.
However, the probability of such an optimal situation occurring is obviously not high. After more than half of the people on the Soul Guidance Warship were lost, the "Purple Man" Title Douluo still managed to control everyone else with his "superpowers" and stared straight at Shrek Academy with his blood-red eyes.
His demeanor was remarkably convincing, giving the impression that this "Purple Man" Title Douluo was indignant about his fate, but in reality, he was releasing controlled hormones. The Shrek Academy students were a bit too far away; the hormones would take time to spread. However, in warfare, the key is that you fight your way, and I fight my way. The more the enemy tries to do something, the less we should let them!
Now that this "Purple Man" Title Douluo is glaring over there, we can't let him just stand there. Fire! Fire! That Title Douluo can survive the barrage, but these puppets around him can't. That Level 8 Soul Master from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy! Hurry up! Make your move!
With a proper Soul Master in hand, Shrek Academy's firepower was naturally several levels more intense. The puppets did try to charge forward, but once they entered the Soul Master's attack range, that was Shrek Academy's expert territory. In short: In the blink of an eye, the enemy's ships and fortresses were reduced to ashes.
In a way, Shrek Academy's response to this "Purple Man" Title Douluo was a lucky accident. In places where the fighting is fierce, the airflow is fast, making it difficult for some ulterior motives to gather, and thus they cannot produce any effect.
A quarter of an hour later, the titled "Purple Man" Douluo reluctantly lost all signs of life. To be honest, the "Purple Man" Douluo's methods were considered bizarre even among evil soul masters. However, such a powerful individual with a single, specialized skill, once his means of survival became ineffective, had little room left to struggle.
That's the situation now. The elders of Shrek Academy have all been affected to some extent, but since they haven't been completely controlled, the chaos that this "Purple Man" Title Douluo desired naturally doesn't exist. Without chaos, a Title Douluo with questionable direct combat strength has no way of escaping the encirclement of more than a dozen Title Douluos.
The battle is over; it's harvest time. First up is the Soul Guidance Warship. This warship, used as a battlefield, is badly damaged, but it hasn't sunk yet and still has research value. The Shrek Academy berthed itself and strapped the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance Warship to its side. Research is impossible now; there are no experts present, so they'll have to wait until they return to Shrek Academy to dismantle the warship.
The important thing now is another gain: the head of the commander of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance Warship, or more precisely, the information inside that head. Shrek Academy had originally planned to forcibly obtain this information, but people, once they decide to betray, will almost always stick to it. Without any force from the Shrek Academy members, this Level 8 Soul Guidance Master from Mingde Hall spilled everything.
However, the information the Holy Spirit Cult obtained from a certain unspeakable place was actually quite vague. Therefore, the Sun Moon Empire only knew the general location. To find the new continent, they still needed to rely on the speed of large aircraft for a rapid and wide-ranging search.
Shrek Command Center
"This matter is now considered to be over. We have found the general location of the new continent, and it seems that we are not far from finally discovering it."
The Sun Moon Empire's ship is a bit too big; our current storage soul tools can't hold it all. Duo Duo, Lin'er, you two get a few people from the Soul Guidance Department to try and dismantle it. We old folks will head back first.”
After such a long period of voyage at sea, the elders of Shrek Academy were starting to feel a bit tired.
"Don't worry, Elder Lin, our Soul Guidance Department will handle this matter properly. I've brought the large aircraft with me, and I can set off now to search for the exact location of the New World."
“Alright, Le Xuan, you can go through the trouble again and go with Dean Qian. If you still can’t find it after wandering around in the sky for two or three days, then contact Xiao You. At this point, he won’t keep holding back his position.”
"Okay, Mr. Lin."
The elders of the Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion began returning to the academy with their spoils of war. Just as the group of soul masters from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had thought, these were not evil soul masters and had their own value. As long as they were certain that they could control the other party, Shrek Academy did not mind keeping some meaningful hostages.
Qian Duoduo acted swiftly. Less than an hour after the Shrek Academy elders left, he had already completed the pre-flight checks for the soul-guided aircraft. The Shrek Academy returned to its dedicated storage compartment for soul tools, Zhang Lexuan boarded the aircraft, and the soul-guided aircraft began gliding over the sea.
A week later, Long You, who had completely moved to the offshore base, raised an eyebrow as he looked at the images playing on the soul-guided display screen in the base's control hall. Having managed the New Continent for so long, with ample resources, Long You had already deployed sufficient surveillance measures around it. It was only because time was tight, and Long You had been busy manufacturing the Soul Conversion Ritual Array and the War God Palace server, that he could have launched a communication satellite. But that wasn't important. What was important was that the surveillance measures Long You had deployed around the New Continent had captured the silhouette of the soul-guided aircraft.
"Tsk, that was incredibly swift! The academy's resources are truly impressive. They managed to take down a top-of-the-line soul-guided warship that the Sun Moon Empire had invested heavily in, and even obtained the intelligence they wanted along the way. They're really amazing."
"Bourne, have the resource robots still on the New World withdraw. Once they're all back, if that large aircraft still hasn't found its correct direction, contact its AI assistance and guide them here."
Just as Elder Lin of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy thought, now that Shrek Academy's search has progressed to this point, no matter what the reason, Long You cannot continue to stop Shrek Academy's progress.
All the resource robots were within the signal transmission range, so their retreat was quite fast. Half an hour later, seeing the soul-guided aircraft moving away from the New World again, Bourne, following Long You's orders, used a detection soul-guided device as a signal base station to infiltrate the auxiliary intelligent system of the soul-guided aircraft.
Inside the cabin of the soul-guided aircraft, Qian Duoduo and Zhang Lexuan were standing in the control room, so they were the first to learn of Bourne's intrusion into the auxiliary AI. Although they were initially quite shocked, after a brief moment of alertness, they both realized what was happening, and their eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of joy.
Although the New World is called a continent, finding a piece of land in the vast ocean is not an easy task, even with a general location, a powerful soul-guided device, and a fast soul-guided aircraft. Now that someone is willing to guide them, it is naturally excellent.
Byrne projected a coordinate map onto the soul-guided aircraft's display screen in the cockpit, and simultaneously controlled the aircraft to complete a turn. Watching the small red dot representing their aircraft on the coordinate map steadily approach a continental marker, Qian Duoduo and Zhang Lexuan breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed into their pilot seats.
Ten minutes later, the soul-guided aircraft, which could already see the new continent from the cockpit window, landed smoothly on the sea. Bourne had successfully completed his mission, and control of the soul-guided aircraft returned to the original auxiliary AI.
"Master, I..."
Seeing the Panlong AI image reappear on the soul guide display screen, still seemingly in a daze, Qian Duoduo smiled wryly and waved his hand to stop the Panlong AI from continuing its report. He already knew the details himself, so there was no need to repeat them.
"Le Xuan, let's log in."
Although he was somewhat hurt by how easily his auxiliary AI was defeated by Long You, the new continent was right in front of him, and the matter of soul tools could be dealt with later.
The Soul-Guided Aircraft returned to its hangar, and Qian Duoduo and Zhang Lexuan easily flew to the beach of the New World. There, Long You left behind a Soul-Guided Robot to entertain them.
And so, Shrek Academy began its exploration and development of the two new continents, while the Sun Moon Empire, contrary to its usual pattern, fell into a state of silence. Long You retreated to his offshore base, which was now surrounded by a mist formation, to study various soul tools and soul spirit transformation issues. Occasionally, he would also take about three days to go to the underwater secret realm to cultivate his soul power in seclusion.
Time flies, and four and a half years have passed since the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament held by the Star Luo Empire. Long You, who had become somewhat silent due to not having interacted with humans face-to-face for so long, walked to the control hall of the offshore base as usual.
Having spent about four years in the New World, Long You's current soul power level has reached 64. Long You's sixth soul ring comes from the ocean and is a giant clam soul beast. This giant clam soul beast is 70,000 years old, but it was unlucky and encountered its natural enemy soul beast in the sea. It was severely injured and fled in a sorry state to the shallow sea area, where it was discovered by Long You, who was searching for his sixth soul ring. Ultimately, it became Long You's first official soul spirit.
The two soul skills provided by this 70,000-year-old giant clam spirit beast to Long You can be considered one soul skill in a sense, both accelerating soul power recovery. One only affects the user, while the other affects others. Based on the giant clam spirit beast's age, Long You's "power station" can at most provide a power recovery buff to five people (including Long You himself).
Now, let's turn our attention back to the control room of the New World offshore base.
"Bourne, start packing. Store away anything you don't need right now. We'll return to the original continent in three days."
Long You was preparing to leave. Huo Yuhao's studies abroad in the Sun Moon Empire were coming to an end, and the new Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament was about to begin. It was time to take a trip to the Sun Moon Empire and find an opportunity to visit the treasure vault of Mingde Hall. Long You had been longing for that place for a long time.
The only problem is that Long You doesn't remember the strategy Huo Yuhao had previously devised. figuring out how to get in will probably require some thought.
