Chapter 444

Thank you, Your Excellency Tang Wulin, I truly thank you; our Northwestern Group Army will forever be friends of Shilake Academy.

You're welcome; this is what we should do.

Before the camp, Dai Hao took Tang Wulin's hand and sincerely expressed his gratitude.

He witnessed the entire battle; Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, these two youths, are absolutely the greatest contributors.

Without them, even just a Death God Douluo Ye Xi Shui could probably wipe out all those dozen-odd Honored Douluo of the Northwestern Group Army.

Although the Star Net Empire is powerful, even surpassing the combined strength of the Tian Hun and Dou Ling Empires, their number of Honored Douluo is not limitless; losing a dozen or so Honored Douluo is already a heavy blow that hurts the bones and sinews.

Moreover, the loss of Ming Dou Shanmai is another matter; if Ming Dou Shanmai falls, the Star Net Empire will face a direct threat from the Ri Yue Di Guo, and at that point, trying to retake Ming Dou Shanmai will not be easy.

Now, having completed their mission here, the Shilake party is also preparing to leave.

Tang Wulin smiled slightly and slipped a ring into Dai Hao's hand.

By the way, this is for you; I consider it my final gift before I leave—make good use of it, and don't waste it.

?

Dai Hao took the ring, curiously infused it with soul power, glanced inside, and then his mouth fell open in surprise.

This, this, so many good things—where did you get them from?

In this storage soul conductor device that Tang Wulin gave him, there are countless soul conductor devices and rare metals.

Although Dai Hao's eyesight is not as good as Tang Wulin's and Huo Yutong's, it is still quite high among the original three countries of Douluo; at a glance he recognized several seventh-level soul conductor devices.

And the number of soul conductor devices emitting the same aura is actually close to a hundred, making him feel dizzy.

You should know that even as the supreme commander of the Northwestern Group Army, he can only wear a set of seventh-level soul conductor armor; although there are a couple of eighth-level soul conductor devices, there are only two, and as for ninth-level soul conductor devices, they are unthinkable.

Moreover, this ring contains a large amount of rare metals; if taken to the Starlight Auction to sell, it would definitely be the climax of the climax.

Tang Wulin laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, I took this from the leader of the Terror Claw Soul Mentor Group; I hope it helps you."

One of the reasons Tang Wulin specifically grabbed Liao Mengkai's hand back then was this; before using qi and blood power to wash Liao Mengkai into pulp, he first snatched the ring from his hand.

This is the storage soul conductor device of the Beast King Soul Mentor Group's leader; the quantity of good things inside can hardly be imagined.

Earlier, after killing the leader of the Xie Jun Soul Mentor Group, Wang Yiheng, he actually also specifically retrieved his storage soul conductor device; thus, during this period Tang Wulin was actually in a state of great wealth, and he didn't mind sharing some spoils with his comrades in this battle.

Of course, the truly top-tier items—such as the eighth- and ninth-level soul conductor devices collected by Liao Mengkai, as well as most of the most precious rare metals—still remain in Tang Wulin's hands and were not handed over to Dai Hao.

Anyway, given the soul conductor level of the Star Net Empire, giving them these would mostly be wasted; it's better to take them back for Xuan Ziwen to study properly, and the rare metals would only truly shine in his hands.

After all, in this battle the Shilake party originally accounted for ninety-nine percent of the merit; even if they took all the spoils and left nothing for the Star Net Empire, no one could complain, and giving them these things is already out of camaraderie.

Dai Hao naturally understood this as well; he gave Tang Wulin a deep look, nodded, and accepted this precious gift.

"I understand; if there's anything I, the White Tiger Duke, can help with later, just say it—I'll do my best without violating my principles." After expressing thanks, he then asked, "By the way, could you reveal Shilake Academy's next plans?"

He is now full of curiosity about this young man and very eager to know what his next move will be.

Tang Wulin chuckled lightly:

"Well... I think we should first use the Shilake Summons next; it's time to let the Ri Yue Di Guo witness the power of the original three countries of Douluo."

"What?!"

As expected, upon hearing the term "Shilake Summons," Dai Hao couldn't help but exclaim.

Four thousand years ago, it was the Shilake Summons that changed the tide of battle, helped the original three countries of Douluo reverse their decline, and set the foundation for victory; this time they actually plan to use it right at the start of the war.

Recalling the Rising Sun City incident two years ago, this time the sects responding to the Shilake Summons will certainly not be few, and the original three countries of Douluo will gain a tremendous surge of living force.

For the first time, Dai Hao felt that under the influence of this young Sea God Pavilion Master, defeating the Ri Yue Di Guo might not be so difficult.

This youth possesses a kind of miraculous charm that can gather the originally fragmented power of the original three countries of Douluo into a united front against external foes, which is extremely valuable.

This is probably his unique personal charm.

Dai Hao's gaze softened considerably.

He smiled helplessly:

"Sigh, if my few useless children combined had even half your excellence, I wouldn't have to worry about them all day."

Tang Wulin smiled faintly, speaking with implied meaning:

"Nowhere, Your Excellency the Duke's child is not inferior to me at all; she is truly excellent, sometimes so excellent that I feel ashamed in comparison."

Dai Hao didn't catch Tang Wulin's hidden meaning, and gave a wry smile: "You mean Luo Lai? Stop teasing me; he has indeed made great progress recently, but that's all thanks to your teaching, right? Once you leave, he'll revert to his former self."

He let out a long sigh and patted Tang Wulin's shoulder.

"Alright, I won't say more; hurry back to the Academy to get busy, but remember, the Northwestern Group Army and the Duke's Mansion will forever owe you a favor, and we look forward to fighting side by side again."

Tang Wulin said no more, nodded, and then walked out of the camp.

Outside the camp, the other three who came with Shilake on this trip were waiting for him.

Tang Wulin suddenly unfurled a pair of dragon wings behind him and said cheerfully, "Let's go, we're returning to the Academy."

This battle was a great victory for them, but next time it may not be so easy.

We must hurry back to the Academy to make plans for what comes next.
