Five years, a full five years!During these five years, Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya obeyed Huo Yuhao's every order wholeheartedly, all for the sake of one day reuniting with him—or rather, to bring down the Holy Spirit Church as soon as possible, and then remain forever by their master's side.
Unfortunately, the Holy Spirit Church was far too resilient, and Shrek Academy, along with the two great empires Star Luo and Heavenly Soul, were simply too useless. Their efforts never achieved the expected results.
But fortunately, the rules of this round of the Soul Master Tournament had changed, allowing sects to participate as well.
This gave these two Saintesses the chance to head to Mingdu together with the Holy Spirit Church's competitors, and once again see their master!At this moment, Tang Ya finally noticed Beibei's gaze on her. She turned her head, her eyes filled with disgust and murderous intent.
During these five years, Tang Ya had several chances to kill Beibei and devour his life force and soul power using Dark Blue Silver Grass.
But every single time, at the crucial moment, a Shrek powerhouse would step in front of Beibei and ruin her attempt, driving Tang Ya into absolute frustration.
But this time—if they met Shrek Academy during the Soul Master Tournament—Tang Ya really wanted to see whether anyone would be able to save Beibei again!
She wanted to swallow Beibei's everything right before Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe's eyes, with Dark Blue Silver Grass!
Tang Ya's gaze made Beibei's entire body turn cold. He felt that something terrible was very likely to happen during this Soul Master Tournament.
Tang Ya had become more and more unfamiliar, killing without the slightest hesitation, especially toward him. Every move aimed to take his life and absorb all his life force and soul power.
With the help of the Dragon Pellet, Beibei's martial soul had undergone a metamorphosis, completely evolving into the same Light Holy Dragon as Mu En. His soul power had also reached the Soul Emperor level.
But even so, in front of Tang Ya, Beibei had absolutely no chance of winning.
The current Tang Ya filled Beibei's heart with true fear!
Perhaps… he would never be able to pull Tang Ya out of the ranks of Evil Soul Masters.
When the academies and sects participating in this Soul Master Tournament arrived in Mingdu, they were all shocked by the level of prosperity in the Sun Moon Empire's capital.
Wherever they looked, there were soul tool products everywhere. Although many items were new and completely unfamiliar to them—they had no idea what they were used for—everyone could guess how convenient the lives of Sun Moon Empire citizens must be with these soul tools.
And the smiles on people's faces were clearly heartfelt. It was obvious how satisfied they were with their lives and how high their sense of happiness was.
Although many believed that the number of powerhouses determined a nation's strength, many also understood that only when even the lowest-level ordinary people lived good lives could a country be considered truly strong!
Clearly, the current Sun Moon Empire was the most livable, with the highest living standards, and also the most tolerant nation in the entire Douluo Continent.
Even here in the capital Mingdu, many people spoke with accents from the Star Luo Empire, the Heavenly Soul Empire, or even the Dou Ling Empire, yet faced no discrimination. Everyone interacted harmoniously.
This made the participants from all over the continent find it hard to believe.
Could the hatred between the Sun Moon Empire and the original three Douluo nations really be eased so easily?
Of course not!
But after Xu Tiannan's unwavering efforts for five years, they had finally achieved this result—allowing ordinary people from all nations to coexist peacefully, even becoming friends.
He had asked Huo Yuhao how they should deal with those defecting from the original Douluo Three Empires to the Sun Moon Empire.
Based on Huo Yuhao's answer, Xu Tiannan created a series of policies.
He let everyone know that the hatred between the Sun Moon Empire and the original three nations ultimately stemmed from the nobles. Regardless of their nationality, ordinary people were all victims.
Was there any need for victims to hate each other?
Of course not!On the contrary, they should unite and work toward a better life.
After experiencing the Sun Moon Empire's lifestyle, these people could never go back to their former countries to serve the nobles like livestock.
With the strategies Huo Yuhao helped Xu Tiannan draft, these people found meaning in life—they discovered their value. There was no way they would return to the hopeless, muddled days they once lived.
"Wow! Mingdu is even more prosperous than the legends said!"
Nan Qiuqiu of the Earth Dragon Gate found everything fascinating. She kept inspecting every stall and shop, her face full of amazement.
Seeing her daughter acting so inexperienced, Nan Shuishui felt equally shocked inside but still forced herself to remain calm.
"Nan Qiuqiu! Can't you be a little more composed?"
But before she even finished speaking, she noticed that the other Earth Dragon Gate members were all acting just like her daughter—looking around, studying everything in this flourishing Mingdu.
Nan Qiuqiu, acting as if she didn't hear her mother, picked up a small pink table lamp and asked the vendor:
"Boss, what is this thing?"
The vendor smiled at her curiosity.
"This is a soul tool table lamp. It was personally made by Viscount Huo Yuhao."
Soul tool table lamp? Huo Yuhao?
Before Nan Qiuqiu could ask what this unfamiliar soul tool did, the vendor demonstrated it. After pressing a switch, a soft light shone down.
"The core of this soul tool table lamp is made from a special rare metal, allowing it to function without soul power. As long as it's left under sunlight for a certain amount of time during the day, it can provide illumination at night. It's the best tool for lighting when traveling."
A soul tool that didn't require soul power?
Hearing this, everyone from the Earth Dragon Gate turned pale with shock.
Thankfully, this table lamp was only for illumination and had no offensive capabilities. Otherwise, it wouldn't be displayed at a street stall.
But they had heard that the Sun Moon Empire developed offensive soul tools five years ago that could function without soul power. So why would Huo Yuhao create something so… useless?
When Nan Qiuqiu voiced this question, the nearby vendors and Mingdu residents all burst into laughter.
The laughter wasn't malicious, but it still made the Earth Dragon Gate disciples feel embarrassed—like true country bumpkins entering the city.
The vendor didn't tease them further but kindly explained:
"According to Viscount Huo, a nation's strength does depend partly on its powerhouses, but the happiness of its ordinary citizens is equally important."
"So aside from other types of soul tools, the Viscount also developed many non-offensive items like this soul tool table lamp to make life easier for ordinary people."
"The Crown Prince and Viscount Huo genuinely want everyone in the Sun Moon Empire to live better lives!"
