Chapter 262: The Great Era of Soul Guidance

Su Yu and Luo Yu were both experimenting, and both of them had experimented thousands of times!

Who could have imagined that, in the end, it was actually Luo Yu's side that succeeded first?

As pioneers, the experimental journey of the two could be described as nothing short of bitter.

A massive amount of resources was wasted, and a vast quantity of metals was processed; fortunately, Luo Yu was a core figure and also a High-level Soul Guidance Master, so they were able to easily obtain large quantities of metals and Rare Metals. After all, when experiments fail, it is normal for a High-level Soul Guidance Master to consume a large amount of metal.

As for Su Yu, he had a large family and a big business, so he didn't care about this bit of loss at all; thus, other than being scolded by Xuan Ziwen for being a spendthrift, there was nothing else to it.

During the last tournament, Su Yu had already begun to look into the forging of Spirit Metal, but it was a pity that there was no progress in the forging at that time. In order to save time, he did not continue the research then.

Later, when time was abundant, he and Luo Yu conducted extensive research. Once these things were cracked, the forging industry of the future would immediately rise, and the application and design of various Soul Guidance Devices would immediately become popularized.

More importantly, it would be an improvement in combat power and a leap for the era!

It is just a pity that these things would not fall into the hands of the Three Great Empires.

If some things appear ten thousand years ahead of time, the coming era will undergo earth-shaking changes. Although it is temporarily unknown what changes will occur now, these things must be researched in advance.

"The analysis results are out: the toughness of this piece of Deep Sea Ice Soul Steel has increased by 80%, its volume has shrunk by 60%, its strength has increased by 300%, and its soul power compatibility has increased by..."

A massive amount of data was continuously sent to Luo Yu's laboratory. This data surprised even Luo Yu himself; although it was the only successful product after thousands of experiments, its effects were too astonishing to Luo Yu.

Given the special nature of this piece of Spirit Metal, Luo Yu did not adopt the blood sacrifice method, because this piece of metal would be the most precious research material for the Sun Moon Empire today!

The appearance of this first piece of Spirit Metal would also be the foundation for the mass production of Number Two!

Once this method is thoroughly researched, the Sun Moon Empire will unify the Three Great Empires at an even faster speed!

Whether the Three Great Empires disappear or not has nothing to do with Su Yu; what he needs to do is collect everything that can be used for his own purposes to pave his own way.

"Luo Yu, Luo Yu..."

After all the analytical data came out, Jing Hongchen excitedly arrived at the laboratory where Luo Yu was: "How did you do it? This piece of Deep Sea Ice Soul Steel has undergone a comprehensive improvement. If it can be used as the core material for Soul Guidance Devices, then the effects of Soul Guidance Devices will also be greatly enhanced. If we can apply its purification method to other metals on a large scale, then the Sun Moon Empire will usher in a brand-new era!"

Jing Hongchen stared with wide, excited eyes; the piece of Deep Sea Ice Soul Steel in his palm was like the most precious treasure in this world.

"Teacher, if we use this type of metal for all of Number Two, can we achieve mass production?" Luo Yu began to ask about the thing he cared about most.

"Of course we can. Not only can we achieve mass production, we can even fully upgrade Number Two to Level 10! That is a Number Two that can truly contend with a Peak Douluo! Can you tell Teacher how you managed to purify this piece of Deep Sea Ice Soul Steel?" Jing Hongchen had long since lost his dignity as a Hall Master; at this moment, he was like a devout pilgrim, harboring a fanaticism for his faith!

"Gather all the Venerables and seniors; I want to announce a major event. Teacher, I will provide a complete report and explanation of the manufacturing process of these things and how they are produced later. The most important thing now is to let Kong Lao know about this matter!"

Kong Lao, the father of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Engineers, the Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming!

Three days later, Luo Yu produced a complete report on the entire forging process, as well as the data changes and the changes in the various properties of the metal.

This report and that piece of Spirit Metal were sent to the hands of the Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming. When Kong Deming saw this report, he could not help but sigh that the era had changed.

This report would be recorded in the annals of the Sun Moon Empire, and that piece of Spirit Metal would be sealed forever, becoming a witness to that legend for future generations to admire!

"The above is the result of all my experiments."

Luo Yu finished recounting his report and then placed that piece of Spirit Metal in front of everyone.

In an instant, the entire conference room turned into a mess...

"Don't grab it, let me see, move aside..."

"What's the rush, let me see first..."

"Don't push me, I %@#..."

…………

Looking at the chaotic scene before him, Luo Yu smiled calmly. This was a breakthrough that spanned eras. These Soul Engineers who were proficient in Soul Guidance Devices had encountered such a magical purification technique; how could they not be crazy?

"Your achievements are already no longer below mine. I'm afraid I'll have to call you teacher from now on." Kong Deming looked at Luo Yu with gratification, his face full of pride.

"You flatter me. If it weren't for the empire's cultivation and resources, Luo Yu could not have achieved such success. If possible, I hope the empire can promote this technology within Mingde Hall. This technology can bring us huge benefits and can even solve all our current difficulties. We need craftsmen to provide us with materials, but this technology must absolutely not be leaked."

Luo Yu knew that a leak was only a matter of time, but he had to keep these things within a range he could control!

"I will discuss your proposal with His Majesty. Now, as your teacher, I have nothing left to teach you..."

Watching Kong Deming disappear into Mingde Hall with that piece of Spirit Metal, all the Soul Engineers knew that the great Soul Guidance era belonging to the Sun Moon Empire was about to arrive.

For anything, going from 0 to 1 is always the hardest part, but the difficulty of going from 1 to N is far less than going from 0 to 1.

Luo Yu no longer had the time to attempt the subsequent forging. All he had to do was open the gate to the sanctuary of Spirit Metal, and leave the rest of the path for them to explore on their own.

Although this technology was in his own hands and Luo Yu would reap endless wealth and fame, this was of no use to his plan. At his current position, wealth and fame were already of no benefit to him.

If he wanted wealth, he only needed to speak, and countless people would scramble to send money and all kinds of riches into his hands.

Because he was Luo Yu!

The next path was to conquer the problems of Number Two and the Battle Armor.

"It seems I need to arrange new topics for them..."

Luo Yu stood beside Xu Tianran and spoke slowly.

"Indeed, Luo Yu, it is necessary to arrange new topics for them; after all, you have brought them new hope." Xu Tianran stood at the highest point of the imperial palace, overlooking the earth.

He was the monarch of the Sun Moon Empire, and he would surely be the conqueror of the Douluo Continent!

"I have only opened a door. I cannot walk the path of the future alone. Your Majesty, these paths need them to explore." Luo Yu looked at the high-spirited Xu Tianran and spoke slowly.

"I still miss the time when I was the Crown Prince. Only then could I feel myself constantly climbing upward, constantly progressing. Now that I have inherited the throne and become the master of the Sun Moon Empire, facing the Three Great Empires and Shrek, I no longer have that feeling from back then. Luo Yu, do you think we can defeat Shrek?"

Xu Tianran's brows furrowed slightly, and ripples stirred in his heart. The Three Great Empires had never been his goal.

His goal was to completely crush Shrek and erase it from the history of the Douluo Continent!

"Your Majesty, nothing is impossible, just like how we once captured almost all the elites of the Three Great Empires, isn't that right?"

"Indeed, it is because you are here that I feel at ease. You, who pilot the Sun Moon Battle God, are the light of hope for my Sun Moon Empire..."

The night in Mingdu was the most beautiful moment of Mingdu.

The boundless city, the rows upon rows of high-rise buildings, and the brilliant lights illuminated the city.

A city that never sleeps.

A city of brilliance.

"This place, it really is so familiar, so nostalgic..."

"What are you reminiscing about? Reminiscing about that period of impoverished life back then?"

In a daze, a familiar voice pulled Luo Yu back to reality.

Luo Yu slowly exhaled a breath, raised his head, looked at Mingdu with his deep eyes, and laughed heartily, "Your Majesty, what I am reminiscing about is that period of time when we repelled the Three Great Empires."

"Is that so? Those places that were destroyed have all been rebuilt. When you have time, why not accompany me for a walk?" Xu Tianran looked at Luo Yu's sentimental appearance and comforted him.

"Let's wait until this research is finished. Your Majesty should also go out and take a look. After all, the world outside the imperial palace is not as complicated as Your Majesty thinks."

"Is that so?"

Xu Tianran's brows relaxed, and as he looked at those rebuilt places, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

…………

"It's done, it's done! I've done it too!"

At the same time, in a secret chamber of the Wanjing Sect, Su Yu also successfully forged Spirit Metal.

With the insights from Luo Yu's successful forging, his forging standard could be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds, and he followed closely behind to complete the forging of Spirit Metal.

Their memories were interconnected, and since someone had already completed the breakthrough from 0 to 1, there were no major difficulties with the subsequent problems.

Arriving at the Sect Master Hall, as the behind-the-scenes controller of the Wanjing Sect, his identity had always been top secret, and the power he possessed was also supreme within the Wanjing Sect.

"Family Head Yuan'en, I wonder how much your Yuan'en Family knows about forging?"

Arriving at the main sect hall, Su Yu inquired about forging-related issues concerning the Yuan'en Family. Although he was the founder of the Wanjing Sect, some things had to be handed over to people he could trust.

And the Yuan'en Family was a very, very good candidate; the son of Xiong Xiaoling would not have poor character.

Even if he were poor, there would naturally be someone to rectify him.

"Commoner Su Yu, greets Your Majesty." Su Yu bowed and saluted. Now that he had officially become a graduate of Shrek, there was no need to perform the kneeling kowtow to Xu Jiawei.

"Regarding the Su Family's matter, I am very sorry. You are a person of the Star Luo Empire; I do not wish for any rift to appear between you and the Star Luo Empire. Regarding your parents' matter, we will do our best to compensate for the Su Family's losses." Xu Jiawei's tone was gentle; he hoped that the youth before him could let it go.

Shrek had told Xu Jiawei that Su Yu's potential was absolutely not below that of Huo Yu Hao, and it was even highly possible that it was above Huo Yu Hao's!

Moreover, both Shrek and the Body Sect had given him extremely high evaluations. Although Huo Yu Hao was the representative of the Body Sect, the Sect Master of the Body Sect also highly affirmed Su Yu's ability.

"It is of no matter. Regarding the past, the Su Family was a bit too presumptuous. It is inevitable for great clans and families to make mistakes when doing things. It is understandable for Your Majesty to act this way. If it were the other two great empires, I fear it would not have been handled with such magnanimity as Your Majesty. It is just a pity..."

Su Yu stopped mid-sentence, as if the words that followed would deal an incomparably heavy blow to Xu Jiawei.

"Pity what? Could it be that you have some difficulty?" Xu Jiawei continued to ask.

"No, no, no, Your Majesty is overthinking it. It is just that now the family has yet to settle down, and Su Yu truly does not have the extra heart to dabble in external affairs."

Many things are meaningless if stated clearly; both sides were shrewd, so they naturally knew the other's intentions.

"I will handle the Su Family's matter well, but I hope that you can lend a hand to help the Star Luo Empire in the rescue mission half a year from now. If it succeeds, I will no longer pursue everything from the past, and you may also head to the treasury of my Star Luo Empire to choose one soul bone at will! If you can save Jiujiu back, the Star Luo Empire's treasury will allow you to choose three treasures at will."

Xu Jiawei no longer held hope for recruiting Su Yu; he was very clear about Su Yu's intentions.

"I will not participate in the operation half a year from now. My name is not in the deployment for this operation either. It would be more appropriate for Your Majesty to go and discuss these matters with Huo Yu Hao; Huo Yu Hao is also a person of the Star Luo Empire."

Soul bones held no attraction for Su Yu; it would be nothing more than adding one more soul skill for him, but he was currently not lacking in soul skills at all, nor did he care about the treasures of the Star Luo Empire.

There was nothing more valuable than the things in the Star Dou Great Forest and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; he already possessed the things that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect needed most.

When it comes to the wealthiest in the world, none surpassed the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

What's more, now that he had mastered the forging method for Spirit Metal, he had absolutely no need to worry about resource issues.

Once these words were spoken, Xu Jiawei's eyes went dark. After experiencing a few seconds of silence, he finally continued to speak: "If the future truly reaches a dangerous time, I hope you can step in to help the Three Great Empires, and help the Star Luo Empire."

"Your Majesty, I will. If there is an opportunity, I think I will."

If it were the Su Yu of the past, Xu Jiawei would not be so polite to him. Having experienced the bitterness of that period of time, he chose to display his own value at the appropriate time.

Shrek would back him up, because Shrek owed him too much.

Regardless of whether he would join the Sun Moon Empire in the future, he could be said to owe no one anything. Shrek and the Star Luo Empire both enjoyed the brilliance that Su Yu once brought; after Su Yu left, they had to learn to endure the pressure.

Dignity exists only on the edge of the sword!

Truth exists only within the firing range of the cannon!
