~13 min read 2,587 words

"Leiqier, why don't we rent out the venue? We could definitely make a huge profit. If you don't have the money, Leiqier, I can cover it all. As for the earnings, we'll split it two-eight, you get two and I get eight. Hehehe..."

Leiqier rolled his eyes and silently pulled a burlap sack over Lu Jiuyu's head.

Seeing Lu Jiuyu covered by the sack, everyone put down what they were doing and, with tacit understanding, released their Soul Guidance Devices to isolate all information from the outside.

When Lu Jiuyu finally came to his senses, he couldn't tell where the punches and kicks were swarming from, but he could be certain that the largest foot stomping on him was definitely Leiqier's!

Because no one had feet larger than Leiqier's; at over two meters tall, the guy was like a humanoid giant bear, yet he was actually an Agility Attack System Soul Master.

When Lu Jiuyu sobered up from the shock, everyone had already scattered, leaving only Lu Jiuyu sitting on the ground, bruised and swollen.

"Who was it? Come out! Leiqier, I know you did this!" Lu Jiuyu roared viciously at the crowd, who all wore indifferent expressions.

Leiqier spoke in a leisurely manner: "It's broad daylight, how can you slander me? Which eye saw me do it? I could just as well say you did it to yourself and are trying to frame me. We students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy must rely on evidence when doing things."

"That's right. If you can produce evidence, we will definitely help you tie Leiqier up and hang him at the entrance of your laboratory," Jing Peng said without blushing or skipping a beat.

Lu Jiuyu: "............"

"Your Highness, what is the reason for summoning me?" Luo Yu stood outside Xu Tianran's door and asked.

"I heard that the Number Two experimental subject is only one step away from completion? However, it seems there was a small accident, is that right?" Xu Tianran asked nonchalantly.

Luo Yu nodded and said, "The problems with Number Two have basically been completely resolved. However, Number Two cannot be deployed for combat yet; even if it were, it could only operate within the scope of Mingdu and cannot sustain long-term combat."

"The Hall Master has reported to this Palace before that if the Number Two experimental subject is to exert power surpassing a Super Douluo, the energy problem must be solved. The Hall Master told this Palace about your ideas. What are your insights regarding the use of the Mingdu Soul Guidance Matrix? This Palace grants you immunity."

With Xu Tianran's permission, Luo Yu was finally able to approach Xu Tianran, entering the palace and sitting down opposite him.

There was still a faint, elusive aura all around. This aura had not been very obvious before, but with the growth of Luo Yu's soul power, the perception of that aura became increasingly clear.

There was more than one Title Douluo by Xu Tianran's side, but the Title Douluo who had been with him the longest and was also his most trusted was the Shadow Douluo Xuechen.

If he wanted to execute his plan, he had to deal with the Shadow Douluo Xuechen!

"Your Highness, my idea is actually very simple. According to my initial plan, I intended to deploy Number Two into actual combat, but after conducting various experiments, I found that while Number Two can indeed be deployed, we still cannot solve or eliminate the consumption problem. Even if we use a large number of High-level Milk Bottles, the expenditure still exceeds the income; the soul power consumed is too vast, causing Number Two's strength to be unable to be fully exerted." Luo Yu explained the problems of Number Two to Xu Tianran while thinking about how to deal with Xuechen.

Xuechen and Jing Hongchen knew each other, which meant that if Xuechen could not be made to appear voluntarily, he could use this connection with the Hall Master to lure the snake out of its hole, although this method might not necessarily succeed.

"So you want to use the Mingdu Soul Guidance Matrix to solve the soul power consumption problem?" Xu Tianran smiled, his eyes filled with vigilance.

Luo Yu continued to nod and said, "Although I know the risks of doing this are great, for the safety of the Sun Moon Empire, even if I risk my life, I must say it. Your Highness, today Luo Yu comes with the determination to die. If Your Highness wishes to kill me, please let me finish what I have to say!"

"Good! This Palace will give you this chance." Xu Tianran waved his hand, and Luo Yu instantly felt himself locked on by several auras.

Under the feeling of being locked on by these auras, Luo Yu felt the breath of death constantly approaching.

He knew Xu Tianran would not kill him, but if he showed even a hint of cowardice now, then no matter what he said next, Xu Tianran would not believe him. Xu Tianran was a person who severely lacked a sense of security and hated being deceived by others most of all.

Suspicion, the unknown...

These were the death warrants in Xu Tianran's hands!

"To tell you the truth, the Hall Master has already told us about the cooperation with the Holy Spirit Cult, but we are still constrained by the Holy Spirit Cult today. Although the current situation is relatively peaceful, once the Holy Spirit Cult masters power that surpasses ours, there is a great possibility that they will threaten our Sun Moon Empire, and they might even take action against the people of our Sun Moon Empire! I think the Crown Prince understands this better than I do."

Luo Yu knew that the Holy Spirit Cult had always been a thorn in Xu Tianran's side. Xu Tianran was a madman, but also an ambitious ruler. As the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, he would absolutely not allow the existence of something in the Sun Moon Empire that he could not control.

"Although these things are only my conjectures, I know that if we cannot counter the powerful forces of the Holy Spirit Cult in a short time, then no matter what we do, we will be held back by the Holy Spirit Cult. Only when we master the power to contend with the Holy Spirit Cult can we protect the safety of everyone in Mingdu and ensure the safety of the Sun Moon Empire! Number Two is that kind of power. Although we lost Number One, we have once again successfully researched Number Two by relying on our powerful Soul Guidance Technology."

"Your Highness, if Number Two is connected to the Mingdu Soul Guidance Matrix, then Number Two can be equipped with a large number of High-level Soul Guidance Weapons, and can even use the continuous soul power provided by the Mingdu Soul Guidance Matrix to sustain combat. Once my plan succeeds, our Sun Moon Empire will have gained a powerful force capable of rivaling a Peak Douluo, or even a Limit Douluo. At that time, we will no longer have to worry about the Peak Douluos or Limit Douluos of Shrek or the Holy Spirit Cult coming to attack Mingdu!"

This was an incomparably powerful temptation; even if Luo Yu were Xu Tianran, he could not refuse it!

After Luo Yu finished speaking, the palace fell into a long silence. Finally, Xu Tianran slowly raised his hand, and the several auras locking onto Luo Yu slowly dissipated.

Xu Tianran smiled, and Ju Zi also very understandingly pushed Xu Tianran to Luo Yu's side. Xu Tianran reached out and patted Luo Yu's shoulder with gratification, "Luo Yu, having you in the Sun Moon Empire is truly a blessing for me, Xu Tianran."

"Then, Your Highness, regarding..." Before Luo Yu could finish, Xu Tianran waved his hand, interrupting him.

"Allow this Palace to think it over. You may withdraw for now."

Xu Tianran looked at Ju Zi, and then Ju Zi pushed Xu Tianran away, disappearing around the corner of the palace corridor.

"Luo Yu, you should go back."

A familiar voice came from behind Luo Yu. Turning around, he discovered it was the Shadow Douluo Xuechen, whom he had been thinking about how to deal with earlier.

"Your Excellency, I understand."

Luo Yu looked at Xuechen's expressionless face, and his heart began to calculate a new plan.

It seems the road ahead is long and arduous...

Inside the secret chamber of the palace.

"The fact that you dared to risk your life to come and discuss this with me already shows your determination. This Palace has decided to agree to your plan..."

"Go. The data for the Mingdu Soul Guidance Matrix is in the Royal Library. Although the Emperor does not allow us to alter the Mingdu Soul Guidance Matrix without authorization, the current situation is more severe than it was in the Emperor's time, so we must make changes."

Xu Tianran muttered to himself, completely ignoring the puzzled expression on Ju Zi's face. Ju Zi really did not understand what he was doing, talking to himself like that.

Perhaps this also indirectly confirms that saying: Xu Tianran is a madman...

"Your Highness, since you have already agreed to Luo Yu's plan, why didn't you say so at the time..." When Xu Tianran had completely calmed down, Ju Zi asked at the appropriate moment.

Xu Tianran smiled and said, "If I had agreed immediately, what would Luo Yu think?"

"He would definitely be overjoyed and thank Your Highness for your grace," Ju Zi thought for a moment and said.

Xu Tianran patted the back of Ju Zi's hand and said, "That's right, but I also hope he can do it well. However, many things cannot be done right now. We are all waiting for an opportunity. Ju Zi, if it were you, how would you choose? Would you put our actions into practice now, or wait until this tournament is over to come and discuss it with me?"

"Ju Zi is foolish, but I feel that since there is a plan and a research direction, we should naturally execute it immediately. After all, our current situation is not optimistic." Ju Zi felt that immediate execution was the correct path; she could not fathom Xu Tianran's thoughts.

Xu Tianran looked at Ju Zi and spoke slowly, "Ju Zi, there will be time in the future. I just hope that when Luo Yu can truly join my ranks, that will be the time he can truly bring change to the Sun Moon Empire. I am, after all, only the Crown Prince; I have not yet completely become the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire. The more it is like this, the less we can afford any mistakes. This is my test for him, and also a test given to me by those who do not listen."

"Your Highness will surely succeed." Ju Zi did not say anything more, though what she hoped for at this moment coincided with Xu Tianran's.

Xu Tianran slowly closed his eyes, "Ju Zi, take me back to the bedchamber. I am tired..."

Tired, wait...

How could Xu Tianran be tired?

No, this is his excuse. What is he trying to do?

…………

The Sun Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy announced a major piece of news: tomorrow, they would hold a friendly exhibition match against the previous championship team, the current Tang Sect Battle Team. As long as the Tang Sect Battle Team agreed, any student aged twenty or under at the six-ring level or below could come to challenge them.

This news quickly ignited the students of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy and Mingde Hall. Even Jing Hongchen was confused, not knowing what kind of trouble this group had stirred up. However, under Luo Yu's explanation, Jing Hongchen and the various teachers roughly understood the situation.

"However, if you do this, won't it let those fellows from Shrek continue to push their luck?" asked Dean of Academic Affairs Lin Jiayi.

Luo Yu smiled and said, "I told Leiqier to only fight them once. For the remaining time, I will have them challenge other teams for a fee. I believe other teams will be very happy to cooperate with us. Once those people from the Tang Sect want to take the initiative to continue cooperating with us, we will refuse them, citing that we have already fought them and that the conditions they offered were too high for us to accept."

"Luo Yu, how come I never noticed your heart was so black?" Menluo laughed heartily.

"Teacher Menluo, you can't blame me for this; this was all Leiqier's idea, I didn't participate at all." Luo Yu looked at Jing Hongchen innocently, his eyes clear and without a trace of impurity.

Jing Hongchen glared at him fiercely and said, "If Leiqier heard you say that, he would probably happily take the credit. Although Leiqier has indeed learned a lot from you, with Leiqier's brain, I don't think it's likely he formulated this entire plan. Besides Leiqier, it could only be you. Don't try to deny it, kid; who doesn't know that you, Luo Yu, are a master of brilliant schemes?"

"Teacher, you flatter me; this student does not dare accept such praise." Luo Yu humbly accepted Jing Hongchen's instruction, not saying another word about the competition.

Menluo asked with some concern, "Luo Yu, what if we lose this match?"

"Victory and defeat are common occurrences for a Soul Master, and besides, this isn't an official match. Letting them suffer a bit and realize the gap between themselves and their enemies is a good thing. However, I will need the help of the Hall Master and all the teachers when the time comes. After all, although they recognize me as their captain, I still hope that you teachers can properly encourage the team members. After all, you are the people they truly respect. By comparison, I am just a captain brought in temporarily to lead the team, so I will be relying on everyone's help."

Luo Yu bowed to everyone; this was not only a request to the teachers but also a sign of respect for his mentors.

When he first entered Mingde Hall, it was Menluo who taught Luo Yu various forms of knowledge, leading Luo Yu to step into the higher halls of Soul Guidance.

As Dean of Academic Affairs, Lin Jiayi also gave Luo Yu private tutoring for a period of time, and as for the Hall Master, it goes without saying that Luo Yu is his direct disciple.

Not to mention the laboratory for Number Two test subject, where a whole crowd of people fought to take Luo Yu as a disciple, crazily giving Luo Yu private tutoring for fear that this good seedling would be quietly stolen away by other bastards.

Luo Yu respects them and is grateful to them; this is a display of genuine gratitude, devoid of any self-interest.

If that day truly comes, Luo Yu will not let the teachers of Mingdu suffer any harm, because every step Luo Yu has taken has had their guidance and help...

This is the journey that Luo Yu cannot erase within the Sun Moon Empire, and this is the Light of the Sun and Moon in his heart...
