Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 684 Ocean-going Soul Guidance Device!
"Hmm." Xu Tianran nodded, his gentle gaze sweeping over the researchers around him, and most importantly, Huo Yuhao. He smiled and asked, "I see you all have smiles on your faces, you seem to be in good spirits. The Hall Master of the Red Dust Hall just told me that your research on soul tools has made progress."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood Xu Tianran's meaning. The other party simply wanted to know the progress of the soul tool, which was quite normal.

Soon, a bald researcher stepped forward, stood still, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, our research on ocean-going soul tools has indeed made considerable progress. In the future, the Sun Moon Empire will definitely have a large number of warships capable of crossing oceans."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran's eyes lit up: "Oh? An ocean-going soul tool, what is its function?"

In fact, given the frequent victories reported by the Sun Moon Army, Xu Tianran believed that the Sun Moon Empire would inevitably unify the Douluo Continent; it was only a matter of time. Once the Douluo Continent was unified, they could naturally turn their attention outward.

For the Sun Moon Empire, which is destined to unify the Douluo Continent in the future, going overseas is indeed a good choice.

It's important to know that more than four thousand years ago, the Sun Moon Continent sailed across the ocean and collided with the Douluo Continent. But who can guarantee that there aren't other sea continents in this world?

If other continents at sea could be discovered, it would undoubtedly mean expanding territory, which would be a great achievement for any emperor.

Of course, for any empire, the biggest problem in sending a large number of people to sea is the dangers of maritime disasters and sea monsters. Therefore, the empires are not very powerful at sea. In this complicated situation, a large number of warships capable of crossing oceans are of paramount importance.

The bald Soul Master smiled and took out a silver-gray metal ball, explaining, "Your Majesty, as you can see, this is the Ocean Soul Guidance Device. Its function is very simple: to deflect force into water."

Theoretically speaking, if this device is placed on a ship, the attack force received by the ship can be transferred through it and discharged into the sea.

This means that the ocean takes the hit instead of the ship. However, the ocean is boundless, so even if it is affected by the deflection of force, there will be no major problems. In this way, the safety of the ship can also be guaranteed.

"Of course, it also has its drawbacks. First, its coverage area has an upper limit, and the power it can unleash into the water also has an upper limit, which is related to its level. The higher the level of the ocean-going soul tool, the stronger its effect."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran's face lit up with joy. He immediately recognized the strategic value of this soul tool. Indeed, the value of the ocean-going soul tool in exploring new overseas continents or hunting sea soul beasts was considerable.

However, for Xu Tianran, who wants to unify the Douluo Continent as soon as possible, he will naturally value the value of the ocean-going soul tool to the current war even more.

The Douluo Continent is surrounded by the sea on all sides.

If warships equipped with ocean-going soul tools could be arranged to travel by sea to the waters near the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire, and then land to fight, and then cooperate with the Sun Moon Army on the Douluo Continent, they could form a pincer attack on the two empires.

"This soul tool is very valuable. Master Hongchen, Mingde Hall should allocate a large amount of funds to manufacture more of these soul tools to prepare for building the Sun and Moon Warships. I hope that in the near future, we can see batches of Sun and Moon Warships sailing on the sea!" Xu Tianran said immediately.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Jing Hongchen immediately agreed.

At this moment, many researchers showed happy expressions.

"By the way, who invented this soul tool?" Xu Tianran suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked about this yet, so he immediately asked about the identity of the maker.

"Your Majesty, the inventor of the Ocean Soul Guidance Device is Duke Spirit Eye!" the bald researcher announced loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the researchers tactfully stepped aside, revealing Huo Yuhao's full figure. Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't allow the researchers to call him Tower Master in front of Xu Tianran; instead, they addressed him as Duke of the Spirit Eyes, a title he had previously acquired.

It's Huo Yuhao again!
Xu Tianran knew that Huo Yuhao was an unparalleled genius in both soul tools and soul master cultivation, but every time the other party displayed his talent, he was surprised. After all, this was the first time in his life that he had seen someone with such talent.

He smiled broadly and began to praise, "Yuhao, it is a blessing for the Sun Moon Empire to have you. I have seen and remembered all your contributions to the Sun Moon Empire. After the Sun Moon Empire unifies the Douluo Continent, I will reward you with a rich territory."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice.

He knew that Xu Tianran was only saying these things to win him over, but he wouldn't fall for it. After all, given Xu Tianran's personality, the other party would only try to win him over for personal gain.

Xu Tianran nodded in satisfaction, feeling that one day he would be able to turn Huo Yuhao into a useful tool to further protect his own interests.

To him, even the most trusted Orange was just a useful tool, and Huo Yuhao was no exception.

If this tool ever becomes useless, he will not hesitate to discard it!

He then had a discussion with the researchers. The discussion was simple, mainly revolving around the current state of soul tool development and the researchers' various needs. During the discussion, Xu Tianran was very gentle and generally responsive to the researchers' reasonable requests.

Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

A nearby shop had its doors locked, and a soundproof protective shield appeared inside.

"Elder Xuan, our men are ready. In about five minutes, our spies will attack key locations within Mingdu. Because we will be using various soul-guided shells, the commotion will be significant," Zhao Yunfeng said slowly, looking at Xuanzi.

"Hmm, well done." Xuanzi stood by the window, looked up at the azure sky, and said calmly, "It won't be long before the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps is drawn to these attacks."

Then I'll have a chance to capture Xu Tianran alive. Yunfeng, you go and help attack the important locations in Mingdu. Leave Xu Tianran's situation to me.”

In Xuanzi's view, Xu Tianran, now that he is in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, will inevitably lower his guard at first, since the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has many people he can use.

However, given Xu Tianran's usual image as a saintly ruler, once he hears of the attack, he will definitely send some members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps to help.

Will Xu Tianran leave the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? The answer is no.

For their own safety, they will definitely stay at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Those members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps who were dispatched will surely arrange for people to return to the academy and report the new information.
