Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 155: Showing Mingde Hall’s smuggled goods to the Master of Mingde Hall, thoughts on the movie

At the Starlight Auction House, the Sun and Moon Team, led by a maid, walked deeper into the house. After watching a series of bizarre changes, they entered a room of about two hundred square meters.

In the room, the huge wall is an invisible soul guide device, a light-guiding screen derived from the Sun-Moon Empire. It can transmit images in a special way. The core magic array does not require the use of soul power, but a kind of mineral from the Sun-Moon Empire.

Xu Tianxi, who had not paid much attention to these things in the past, quickly thought of the television and film business and whispered to Jing Hongchen:
"Dean, is it possible to use this light-guided screen to shoot something that lasts longer?"

Jing Hongchen was confused: "Tianxi, what do you mean by this?"

"I think these things will have great publicity significance and can be used to promote a positive image of our country."

As a passer-by on the Blue Planet, Xu Tianxi knew very well that during a special period in history, movies had once become the most important weapon in the cultural field. In order to make a masterpiece that would be passed down through the ages, a certain Russian bear took advantage of the whole country and mobilized resources from all major departments across the country to make the most grand movie in human history.

In order to make that movie, they even mobilized the army, and sent lieutenant generals and above from the navy, army and air force to provide guidance; all major museums across the country were mobilized, and the director died twice, which shows how big the project was.

And the film lived up to expectations, causing a huge response both at home and abroad, making a lot of money, not to mention its cultural impact.

In the Sun and Moon Empire, the economic cost is almost negligible. As long as the price of the Guangdao screen is lowered and it is popularized in the country first, and cinemas are opened in places like Mingdu, a huge profit can be made.

If it could spread to the other three empires, it would be a comprehensive blow to cultural confidence; it could play a certain role in both pre-war preparations and post-war stability maintenance.

Xu Tianxi organized his words and said calmly:
"Think about it. The living standards of our Sun-Moon Empire are far superior to those of the three great empires. What would happen if we could film some sporadic footage and broadcast it to certain areas of the three great empires where living conditions are very poor?"

"I can say with certainty that most of the nobles in the three empires are not die-hards. Many people don't really care who stands above them."

"As for the common people, whose emotions are the simplest, they have experienced repeated exploitation by the nobles and the empire. The three empires have shown them no favors. As long as the Sun-Moon Army can do nothing to harm them, it won't affect their lives at all. In fact, it will even be better for them.

However, changing the country's name might make it difficult for them to adapt emotionally, so this requires a subtle change..."

Jing Hongchen's eyes suddenly brightened when he heard this, and then he said with some concern: "But the three empires have already had a deep prejudice against me, Sun and Moon. Will it really be of any use in the short term?"

Xu Tianxi's expression remained unchanged: "Just because this generation can't do it doesn't mean the next generation can't do it. Those people can manage themselves, so how can they manage their descendants?"

"If the Sun-Moon Empire conquered the three great empires to bring a better future to the people of Douluo Continent, who can say we were invading rather than punishing the people? As for the diehards who resisted, not a single one will be spared."

"The nobles of the three empires have been high and mighty for countless years, while the common people have barely even had the chance to awaken their martial spirits. What's the point of keeping them alive? We are eliminating the shadows hanging over the three empires. Once the common people of the three empires understand this, they will know who the true army of justice is."

The practice of punishing criminals to comfort the people has existed since ancient times. Ji Zhou had used it, and after entering the Shanhai Pass, there were also great Confucian scholars who debated on the classics.

Jing Hongchen couldn't help but take a few breaths of cold air, and his back felt inexplicably cold.

Is this really something a teenager could think of? Has he already decided to destroy the three empires?
Moreover, Xu Tianxi's move...is probably not only aimed at the nobles of the three major empires. There are also nobles in the Sun and Moon Empire, and Jing Hongchen is the Duke.

Noticing Jing Hongchen's expression change, Xu Tianxi smiled and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry, Dean. I understand the fundamental relationship. As long as the professions of soul masters and soul instructors exist, people at the level of nobles will always exist. I just want to create a better environment. I won't go crazy and attack all the nobles."

In this world where great power belongs to oneself, equality for all is unrealistic, but the power of soul masters must be restricted to create a larger and better living space for civilians.

Building order is more difficult than destroying it, but at least there must be a prototype of proper development. The three great empires, which were a mixture of slavery and feudalism, can be swept into the garbage dump of history.

Apart from them, the next one is the Sun-Moon Empire. First they have to destroy the evil soul masters and then restore order within the country. This requires them to learn more valuable experiences from Blue Star.

Jing Hongchen's expression relaxed and he gently stroked his chest.

At this moment, the optical screen gradually became clearer, some patterns appeared on both sides, and an auction table appeared in the center, which was extremely clear on the screen.

The auctioneer who was in charge of entertaining the Sun and Moon Team spoke at the right time to introduce the auction process to everyone.

After a while, the soul guide screen emitted a soft golden light that was not dazzling, and Princess Xingluo's long and melodious voice sounded from it.

"Welcome to the Starlight Auction House's top auction. Today, we will present nine precious items to you, our distinguished guests..."

The light and shadow on the soul guide screen changed, and Xu Jiujiu, the chief auctioneer of the Starlight Auction House, appeared in a red long dress. She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with fair skin and a beautiful face. Combined with the lighting effects, it gave people a perfect visual experience.

Xu Tianxi thought to himself that royal life was not easy, and the princess had to act as an auctioneer herself.

But speaking of it, Xu Jiujiu and Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul were the rare women in Douluo Continent who weren't obsessed with love. Their minds were quite unique. On the screen, Xu Jiujiu said a few polite words, performed court etiquette, and then displayed the first auction item—

The Eighth-level melee soul guide, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Knife, is made with the right arm bone of the Ten Thousand Year Tyrant Tiger as the core material and is produced in Mingde Hall.

"This Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade was produced in the Mingde Hall of the Sun-Moon Empire. With this precious eighth-level melee soul guide, it will be possible for a Soul Sage to challenge a Soul Douluo..."

Xu Jiujiu was introducing herself on the screen with a smile on her face, but Jing Hongchen, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly felt cold and his face turned darker than coal.

Introducing the top-tier soul guide smuggled out of Mingde Hall in front of the Mingde Hall Master? Little girl, you're going too far.

It must be a pleasant feeling to be in front of the Minotaur, right?

"Asshole! Don't let this hall master know which bastard did this! Otherwise, this hall master will make him pay!"

Jing Hongchen's eyes flashed with an anger even more intense than when he fought with Cai Meir. The eighth-level melee soul guide device is an important contraband that is absolutely not allowed to be smuggled. The Xingluo Empire not only smuggled it, but also put it up for auction. What does this mean?
There must be more than one eighth-level soul guide device smuggled out!
The auctioneer in charge of the reception swallowed his saliva and tried hard to act invisible.

Private room number 2 next door.

Xiao Changfeng, who was quietly watching the auction items on the sofa, couldn't help but smile at the Broken Star Douluo who was entertaining him after hearing the introduction of "from Mingde Hall".
"Aren't you afraid that the Mingde Hall Master will go crazy if you do this?"

Shattered Star Douluo laughed heartily and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, Senior. We dared to take it out because we had something to rely on. It's just an eighth-level soul guide. I believe that Master Mingde will not turn against us because of such a small matter."

"That's true." Xiao Changfeng nodded slightly. It seemed that the big things prepared by the Starlight Auction House this time included a lot of imported goods from Mingdetang. Jing Hongchen was a little angry tonight.

"Besides, this Starlight Auction House is part of the royal family. If that Mingde Hall Master shows off his power, you wouldn't stand idly by, would you? With you here, I'm sure that Mingde Hall Master won't act recklessly."

Shattered Star Douluo spoke next, and his words were clearly familiar.

He and Xiao Changfeng were both students of Xingluo Royal Academy. Xiao Changfeng was just one grade higher than Shattered Star Douluo. At that time, Xiao Changfeng was the captain of the regular team and Shattered Star Douluo was the captain of the reserve team. The two had a close friendship.

After graduation, Xiao Changfeng returned to the sect, and Shattered Star Douluo joined the Star Luo Empire. After several decades, he became a level 95 Super Douluo and was also one of the strongest masters in the Worship Hall. The Star Luo Empire hoped that he could reach level 97 or even level 98.

But this strength is undoubtedly far behind Xiao Changfeng: the latter disappeared after graduating from the academy. When he reappeared, he was already a Super Douluo with a cultivation level of 97, and he also cultivated the Ice Crystal Phoenix Martial Soul into the legendary Ultimate Ice.

In the battle of Shrek City, Eternal Douluo Xu Xiaoyun became a god in one battle, and Ice Phoenix Douluo Xiao Changfeng also became famous. He fought alone against two and defeated Song Lao, the third strongest man in the Sea God Pavilion, and Yan Shaozhe, the dean of Shrek. His outstanding record was second only to Xu Xiaoyun.

There is no need to say much about the strength of level 97. There are only a handful of strong people in the world whose cultivation is higher than his. There is also the legendary Extreme Ice, which is absolutely invincible at the same level. He can fight against the Super Douluo of level 98, and the result of the battle with the Extreme Douluo is still unknown.

In the eyes of Shattered Star Douluo, this kind of strength is definitely not inferior to Jing Hongchen.

Xiao Changfeng smiled indifferently and did not tell his junior that his position had changed.

If Shrek had not caused that accident, perhaps they would be willing to trust the three empires for once and try their best to fight against the Sun-Moon Empire, but now the matter is done and there is no turning back.

Star-Breaking Douluo's face was eager, and he smiled as he said, "After hearing about your situation, Senior, Your Majesty wanted to find time to visit you and your Master, but with the upcoming competition, I was so busy that I couldn't get away."

"His Majesty has instructed me to treat you well since you came to deal with the evil spirit master. I have something that might be useful to you today. If you take a fancy to it, it will definitely not escape!"

Shrek was successively defeated by the Haotian Sect, Xuanming Sect and Mingde Hall, and its deterrent power was not as strong as before. Upon hearing that Xiao Changfeng appeared in Xingluo City, Xu Jiawei immediately became interested and sent Shattered Star Douluo to reminisce with the most outstanding student in the history of Xingluo Royal Academy, and promised to win him over at all costs.

Among the powers obtained by Shattered Star Douluo, as long as Xiao Changfeng can be brought into the Star Luo Empire, the positions of Palace Master and National Master can be granted. It just so happens that the old Palace Master is about to leave, so preparations can be made to make room for the newcomer.

At Xiao Changfeng's age, it is certain that he will break through to level 98 in the future, and there is also great hope that he will break through to the Limit Douluo. Even if it is a 100,000-year soul bone, Xu Jiawei will never frown.

Xiao Changfeng smiled faintly and shook his head: "That's not necessary. After practicing to my level, external things are no longer of much significance. Although our Xuanming Sect is not as financially strong as Mingde Hall, we can still afford it."

Shattered Star Douluo chuckled and changed the subject to continue the conversation. It was expected that Xiao Changfeng would not be won over, and they had plenty of patience.

At this time, the auction items on the optical screen had become twelve level six fixed-type soul guide shells. Seeing this batch of top-level contraband, Xiao Changfeng's eyes twitched slightly.

"With this level of contraband, Jing Hongchen won't really get angry and cause trouble, right?"
