Douluo Continent II: You're an evil spirit master, but also a philanthropist?

"Your Majesty, as the meeting was drawing to a close, a veteran general from the Sun Moon Empire inquired about when the war would begin. His reply was, 'Within three years of taking office…'"

The girl's beautiful eyes narrowed sharply as she looked at her brother, whose face was full of worry.

"Is he a hawk?"

"Heh, hawk. At this year's Sun Moon Military Headquarters press conference, he said he was a conservative." Xu Jiawei smiled helplessly.

"This……"

After a long while, his eyes were filled with confusion.

"He said he disliked the hawks in the Sun Moon Empire for being too conservative."

For a long time: "..."

"In any case, his radical approach has garnered the support of at least 70% of the current Sun Moon Empire military, and even the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps has completely sided with him, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them his direct subordinates."

Xu Jiawei remarked with emotion.

Since sincerity exists, why is greatness also born?

Since taking over this mess, Xu Jiawei has seemed to be enjoying great success, but in reality, he was put on a pedestal by the nobles in the past few years. It wasn't until the last two years that he slowly began to show his tough methods and start purging the parasites.

But centuries, even millennia, of decay and the deeply entrenched web of vested interests are not something he alone can easily shake.

If time could be turned back a hundred years, he might have had a chance to clash with the Sun Moon Empire.

but now……

Their soul tools have become increasingly sophisticated; a complete system of soul tools is terrifying.

If it really comes down to a fight, he only has a 30% chance of winning.

"..."

They spent a long time examining the letter, which had been risked by their spies sent to the Sun and Moon Empire.

My mood is inevitably a bit heavy.

"Then I wonder what your meaning is, brother..."

"If the continent truly opens up, the Star Luo Empire will be the first to suffer. After all, among the three kingdoms, only Star Luo borders the Sun Moon Empire. Relying on the Mingdou Mountains, we might be able to resist for a while, but based on my countless calculations, the outcome is highly likely to be a crushing defeat. As for the other three kingdoms... heh, not to mention the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold,' even if those guys help, they'll probably only postpone the empire's demise by a few days. So..."

“Shrek Academy!” Xu Jiujiu said in a deep voice.

“Yes, we can only rely on Shrek Academy,” Xu Jiawei said sadly.

Chapter 76 Shrek Can't Afford to Lose Drama, The Birth of the Film Industry.

Chapter 76 Shrek Can't Afford to Lose... The Birth of Drama and the Film Industry.

"Jiu Jiu, as you know, although I outwardly maintain an extremely respectful attitude towards Shrek Academy, in reality, I don't have high hopes for them at all."

Xu Jiawei sighed.

"With Shrek Academy's profound foundation, if it had truly valued soul tools enough, its development would have been completely different. When I was young, I studied at Shrek Academy. Their research on martial souls is indeed extremely profound. Tens of thousands of years of history and the relics of countless geniuses are Shrek Academy's most precious things."

"But they have always had an arrogance, and I know that arrogance will be the biggest obstacle to future progress. They cannot accept new changes and are indulging in past glories. Therefore, in terms of the research and development of soul tools, they are not even as good as us."

"..." He remained silent for a long time.

"To be honest, they recruit thousands of geniuses from the Star Luo Empire every year, and forty percent of them are forced to drop out for various reasons. Like a sieve, the weak are sifted out. Of the remaining sixty percent, thirty percent stay in the outer academy of Shrek Academy as teachers or in other positions. In short, they are completely assimilated into Shrek. The ten percent who are truly geniuses will enter the inner academy and then they start some damn Shrek Academy Disciplinary Committee!"

Xu Jiawei was furious.

“Dozens of true prodigies die every year! Are they even from Shrek Academy? They are subjects of my Star Luo Empire! Sending a bunch of greenhorns to deal with infamous evil soul masters? What are those Sea God Pavilion elders doing! If it weren't for the reputation of Shrek Academy, I would have thought they were deliberately wasting their geniuses!”

"call……"

Xu Jiawei slumped back into his chair.

"Only 20%! Only 20% of the geniuses will return to serve my Star Luo Empire."

"If Shrek Academy's training is worthy of these geniuses, then I have nothing to say. But what is the truth? The students who enter the inner academy all rely on their own cultivation. Have those so-called teachers provided any guidance? Or do they need your guidance?"

"Shrek Academy, humph, their brainwashing skills are truly exceptional."

After venting his frustrations, Xu Jiawei closed his eyes.

“Shrek is the number one academy on the continent, that’s a consensus among everyone,” Xu Jiujiu pondered. “It is indeed a supreme honor, but it is also a burden. The entire academy is dragged down by this heavy honor, and they have no choice but to move forward.”

"Only with a good pool of students can this massive machine be put into operation. This is why they fight tooth and nail for first place in every continent-wide Soul Master Tournament."

Xu Jiujiu hit the nail on the head: "Because once they lose, they're completely finished."

"You see things very clearly."

Xu Jiawei remarked with emotion.

If my younger sister were a boy, I might very well consider her as the first person to inherit the throne...

"But that's the reality. Even if I despise Shrek, I have no choice but to bow down and flatter them in order to prepare for the war that the Sun Moon Empire will launch in the future."

Xu Jiawei said leisurely.

"Even if they are complacent and complacent in their past pride, they may eventually be driven to their doom by the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided cannons in the future."

"But at least for now, their strength is sufficient to deal with this continental war."

"So what does my brother mean?" Xu Jiujiu asked.

"Make every effort to win over Shrek Academy, and take advantage of this continent-wide academy competition to discuss possible responses to future wars with Shrek Academy."

Xu Jiawei said calmly.

His disdain for Shrek Academy was a personal sentiment, but as a qualified emperor, he would not confuse it with important matters.

"Yes……"

After a long while, he nodded.

At the same time, her beautiful eyes were fixed on the photo, her gaze filled with complex emotions...

……

"呲呲~"

In the laboratory.

A projection was cast on the snow-white wall.

The image of another bedroom is projected.

Xu Cheng examined it. It was just like the earliest projector in his previous life, but the color and frame rate were exceptionally good, almost indistinguishable from what the naked eye could see.

Randomly disassemble one of the core formations.

A simple explanation will make it clear instantly.

Although this only enables broadcasting, if you want to shoot, record, and then distribute the footage like a movie, you only need to make a simple modification to this formation and add a "record" point.

"tangerine."

Xu Cheng replied without turning his head.

"I'm here~" Orange quickly stood up beside him and said.

"Go and invite the people from the Sun and Moon Empire Opera House."

"Yes."

Half an hour later.

The once empty laboratory.

More than twenty people stood there, bewildered, awaiting the prince's orders.

Xu Cheng directed his men to set up the "camera position".

Four angles.

Then he addressed the crowd, saying, "Gentlemen, perform one of your best plays, whatever it may be."

An old man at the front breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "Your Highness, let's perform a piece called 'Snow and Rain'."

"it is good."

The others didn't hesitate; they were all seasoned actors.

They started performing in no time.

……

Xu Cheng flipped through the documentary.

He nodded from time to time.

The performances of these stage actors were somewhat exaggerated, and on camera they resembled cheap, low-quality films from a past life.

But in reality, it's because facial movements are difficult to capture when performing in a theater, so exaggerated movements and body language are necessary to describe one's feelings.

These are just minor obstacles.

With just a little training, they can adapt.

After all, in the previous life, many actors came from the stage, and some even managed to make a living by juggling stage and acting.
