Dai Mubai is temporarily residing in Tiandou City as a student at the New Shrek Academy. The moment he saw the Limitless War God Breastplate, he could no longer remain calm.
The Heavenly Dou Empire and the Starfall Empire have fought several large-scale wars.
The Limitless War God Armor shone brightly on the battlefield. Its successive owners made great contributions to the Heavenly Dou Empire, while also causing headaches for the Starfall Empire.
Blacksmiths are not valued by Soul Masters in Douluo Continent. Even those in power despise them.
In such a social atmosphere, the blacksmiths' association, lacking financial support, gradually declined and fell to the bottom of society, no longer valued by the upper class.
This also led to the gradual decline of the method of forging soul tools.
High-level soul tools are extremely rare. Apart from storage soul tools, other types of soul tools, such as offensive and defensive ones, are very rare.
I never expected this.
To Dai Mubai's utter surprise, Xue Qinghe was willing to use the Empire's War God Armor as a prize for this year's Genius Exchange Conference.
The War God Armor is a complete set, and the breastplate is only one part of it.
Dai Mubai glanced at the Eastern Palace guards maintaining order.
The guards all emanated fluctuations of soul power, indicating that they were all Soul Masters.
"Hiss~"
Dai Mubai landed on Xue Qinghe's personal maid.
Not only the guards, but even Xue Qinghe's personal maidservant was emanating fluctuations of soul power. Moreover, Dai Mubai couldn't see through their true strength; the maidservant was at least a three-ring Soul Master.
Dai Mubai sighed inwardly, "There are some admirable qualities in Xue Qinghe."
Outsiders often say that the current Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire is respectful to the virtuous and talented, and that the Eastern Palace is full of hidden talents and extraordinary individuals.
Dai Mubai attended the banquet today. As a fellow prince of the empire, he suddenly realized that there were many things he needed to learn from Xue Qinghe.
Perhaps it is precisely because Xue Qinghe is so generous and magnanimous that so many people are willing to follow him.
Dai Mubai reflected on his actions.
What is most important to a dynasty?
The answer is talent.
To boost the economy, we need people who understand economics; to conquer the battlefield, we need people who can lead troops; to stabilize the country, we need people who can offer advice and strategies.
"Sigh~"
Dai Mubai sighed helplessly.
He thought about his current situation.
The Xingluo Empire's traditions differ from those of the Tiandou Empire.
In each generation, the Xingluo Empire selects several sacrifices from among its princes.
It's so frustrating, so incredibly frustrating!
He, Dai Mubai, was unfortunately chosen by his father as a sacrifice to be groomed into the next emperor.
His second brother had been killed by his eldest brother, Davis. In order to survive, he had no choice but to flee the Xingluo Empire.
For him, even if he knew how to be a wise ruler, what difference would it make?
As soon as he returns to the Xingluo Empire, his elder brother will mercilessly kill him.
Xue Qinghe's gaze suddenly shifted to Tuoba Yan. "Brother Tuoba, all those invited are under the age of twelve. Among the invitees, your Soul Master level is the highest. Do you dare to be the first to defend the arena?"
Tuoba Yan was stunned, his mind blank. He cursed inwardly that his cousin had set a trap for him.
No, this isn't digging a hole.
Xueqing River is not a thousand-foot snow.
If Xue Qinghe is indeed Xue Qinghe, then Xue Qinghe cannot clear himself of the suspicion that he was setting a trap for Tuoba Yan.
However, Xue Qinghe is an imposter; her true identity is Tuoba Yan's cousin.
Tuoba Yan had just given Qian Renxue a magical herb, so there was no reason for Qian Renxue to set a trap for Tuoba Yan.
The question is, why did Qian Renxue do this?
Rumors had circulated that those invited to the Genius Exchange Conference must be under twelve years old, including twelve, and must already possess two spirit rings.
Such talent is enough to get into Shrek Academy.
The word "genius" is enough to describe every young talent present here.
Undeniably, Tuoba Yan, a four-ring Soul Master, is the highest-level Soul Master among the children present. It is reasonable for Tuoba Yan to guard the arena.
However, Qian Renxue didn't need to make this request so deliberately and proactively.
So why did Qian Renxue do this?
In their previous conversation, Qian Renxue had already mentioned that she would give a gift to Tuoba Yan.
If the intention was to give the War God Breastplate of the Heavenly Dou Empire to Tuoba Yan under some pretext, then why did Qian Renxue want to trick Tuoba Yan in the first place?
The answer is just two words: deterrence.
The Spirit Hall has always relied on its intimidation to establish itself in the world of spirit masters.
Qian Renxue's actions appeared to be aimed at curbing the arrogance of the Xingluo Empire and the Spirit Hall, allowing the younger generation of the Tiandou Empire to become familiar with Tuoba Yan and Dai Mubai ahead of time. In reality, she wanted to use Tuoba Yan to establish her authority among the younger generation of the Tiandou Empire and intimidate the future stars of the Tiandou Empire.
All eyes were focused on Tuoba Yan.
Shui Bing'er lowered her voice and advised, "Brother Tuoba, your strength is more than enough to win the prize. Everyone invited is a genius. A series of challenges is not in your favor. You can refuse His Highness the Crown Prince's harsh demands. But that's not fair to you."
Among the noble children present were five Soul Masters, including Yao Zi from the Plant Academy; seven Soul Masters, including Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, from the Blazing Fire Academy; and more than thirty other academies, such as Tianshui Academy, Elephant Armor Academy, Divine Wind Academy, Tiandou Royal Academy, Shrek Academy, and Canghui Academy. In addition, there were four members of the Golden Generation from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The total number of Soul Masters invited to participate in the Genius Exchange Meeting exceeded one hundred.
Hoo hoo hoo~
Tuoba Yan's eyes swept over all the geniuses of similar age present.
Undeniably, if Tuoba Yan had defended the arena, it would have indeed had a world-destroying deterrent effect.
However, if things go wrong, the arena is breached, and Tuoba Yan is defeated, then it will be a huge pitfall.
Tuoba Yan looked around, his gaze finally settling on Xue Qinghe, who had "dug the pit."
Like mother, like daughter.
In the original storyline, the Spirit Hall could have simply given away the three spirit bones to Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena. The spirit bones belonged to the Spirit Hall, and those three spirit bones could have been given away directly.
However, the Spirit Hall and Bibi Dong took a roundabout approach and turned the three spirit bones into the champion prize of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.
The purpose is deterrence!
It silently intimidated the entire Soul Master world.
The Spirit Hall wants to use this opportunity to tell the Soul Master world that the red flowers representing you in battle are just grass that our geniuses crush.
In the end, the three priceless soul bones were lost, completely lost.
What could have been given directly was instead taken away by going through a roundabout way.
They did all the work for others, gaining nothing themselves and even benefiting the other side. All their hard work yielded no reward, and they even got hurt in the process.
Now, perhaps due to her bloodline, Qian Renxue has picked up another big rock.
"Hehe..."
Mocking voices came from the surrounding seats.
