—------------------—
The Lord of Mingdu was worried.
Likewise, many soul mentors in the Soul Mentor Association are also worried.
Because the mission assigned by Chen Ming was not aimed at the Lord of Mingdu City alone, but at the soul guide world.
The Samsara Empire was initially unified, and its development at this time could not be separated from the joint promotion of the soul master and soul guidance circles. Soul masters are absolutely high-end combat forces and the foundation of strength, but at the same time, soul guidance devices are also the best supplement to soul masters' strength. At the same time, soul guidance devices are also the technology that can be popularized on the largest scale and benefit the general public.
So, we have to do both.
The soul master community must strengthen itself, and then learn from each other's strengths and overcome its weaknesses, using soul guides to make up for its own disadvantages, thereby raising the upper limit of soul masters.
The biggest problem now is that Chen Ming's existence makes the soul guide a joke.
"What does the research institute say?"
The Lord of Mingdu City asked the subordinates in front of him.
The subordinate immediately began to report, saying: "Researcher Xuan Ziwen's original words are that we only need to show the advantages of soul guides. As for how to make soul masters believe that soul guides can bring them stronger strength, they will solve it themselves."
The Lord of Mingdu City was speechless.
He looked at his subordinates, as if he had listened to them in vain.
"The association has studied your majesty's behavior and feels that your majesty's views on soul guides are very inclined towards civilian use. He began supporting civilian soul guides a long time ago, and during the unification of the continent, every time he occupied a piece of land, he would quickly popularize civilian soul guides and actively subsidize them so that soul guides could enter every household."
The eyes of the Lord of Mingdu City flickered at this time.
He captured the information.
So, the popularization of civilian soul guides, is this what Your Majesty wants to see?
What he most wants to see is the growth and development of the entire empire.
However, now that the continent is unified, and even the entire Douluo Star is unified, what is the use of the empire being so powerful at this time?
The Lord of Mingdu City was puzzled.
Now the cognition of the soul master world has been opened. They know that the Douluo plane is a sphere, and have a preliminary understanding of Douluo Star. They know that there are three continents on this planet, namely Douluo Continent, Samsara Continent and a new continent.
So, now that everything on Douluo Star has been explored, why should we focus so much on development?
Could it be that there are other enemies outside of Douluo Star?
The Lord of Mingdu City temporarily transferred the conflict to the outside world.
Perhaps, this Lord of Samsara is not planning to stop at unifying Douluo Star, but may also intend to develop the empire and even lead the empire into the universe.
After the Lord of Mingdu City guessed some of Chen Ming's thoughts, he began to work seriously.
Mingdu is the city with the most developed soul guides. Soul guides have been popularized in every aspect of the city, but this is not the limit.
He wanted to install soul-guided street lamps throughout Mingdu, soul-guided screens in hotels, and broadcast the competition live in every square in the city.
At the same time, he assembled the Soul Mentor Association and prepared to start the Soul Mentor Competition at the same time as the Soul Master Competition, perfectly combining the two competitions.
Research Institute.
When the Lord of Mingdu was having a headache, Xuan Ziwen and others were also having a headache.
They could understand Chen Ming's requirements and they also had direction.
But there is not enough time.
The research on the Soul Bone Armor had been completed long before the end of the Genius War. They also began to replicate the Soul Bone Armor and studied the project of using soul guide technology to complete the fusion of the Soul Bone Armor.
Not only that, they also have a key project, which is to integrate the soul guide with the soul bone.
This is the technology of soul guide device fusing with soul master with the help of soul bone. That is, for every soul bone the soul master possesses, he can fuse it with a soul guide device. This is a deep-level fusion, which is equivalent to developing the soul bone into two soul skills.
Later, this soul guide can be continuously upgraded, which will eventually affect the quality of soul bones and even enhance the soul master's martial soul.
This research is very meaningful, but they are stuck at a critical step and cannot achieve the fusion of soul guide and soul bone in a short time.
This fusion cannot be achieved without long-term and precise nurturing.
This is their greatest achievement.
Unfortunately, this is not enough.
The inability to tear apart shock brought by Chen Ming's power to the soul master world.
When personal strength reaches a certain level, external forces will no longer be effective.
This is the shock that Chen Ming brought to the soul master world, and it is also the realm that soul masters are pursuing today.
The strength of an individual can really be so strong that it cannot be surpassed, so why do we still need to pursue external objects such as soul guides?
Of course, after truly practicing, hitting a wall repeatedly, and realizing one's true level, the soul master will naturally realize the role of soul guides, but that will take quite a while.
Now that the Samsara Empire has just been established, it is the time when the worship of Chen Ming, the Lord of Samsara, is the strongest. Even if the soul masters realize this, they will not acknowledge the role of soul guides.
"The research on the integration of soul guides and soul bones is not enough, so let's add another one." Xuan Ziwen said to his colleagues after careful consideration: "Use soul guides to make soul guide armor to replace soul bone armor. We have already made a semi-finished product for this project. Everyone, please work hard for this month, plus the three months of the competition, so that our team can use their own set of soul bone armor before being eliminated."
Soul guide armor?
The others listened and thought it was feasible.
"The soul master community now worships your majesty more than their soul master strength, and does not mind power like soul bones, so we must promote the theory of soul bone armor, and soul guide armor is the choice when soul bones are incomplete. First, soul guides are used to form the corresponding armor, which can be deeply integrated with the soul master, and is composed of the soul bones that the soul master already has."
Xuan Ziwen elaborated: "Now, the seven regular members of our research institute team all have soul bones, and the captain has three soul bones. We need to make soul guides corresponding to the remaining soul bones according to their soul bone configurations, and combine them with their existing soul bones to form semi-finished soul bone armor, that is, soul guide armor."
Although it's a bit convoluted, it's the best solution he can come up with at the moment.
Soul guides are a transition.
This is also in line with Chen Ming's thinking.
You can rely on external objects such as soul guides to improve your own strength. When you can maintain this power permanently, you can abandon the soul guides.
Soul guide armor is such a starting point.
When the soul master has fused a complete set of soul bones, he can discard the soul guide and only keep the most original soul bone armor.
Moreover, the soul guide also achieves a very good guidance effect of soul bone fusion into soul bone armor.
It is definitely not possible to go against the views of the current soul master community. Xuan Ziwen intends to use a soft approach, moistening things silently, and wait until the soul masters in the soul master world are not yet strong enough and the pursuit of soul guide armor becomes the norm, then their goal will be achieved.
One month later.
The Soul Master Competition begins.
Chen Ming sat on the high platform of the Mingdu Soul Fighting Arena and personally announced the opening speech of the Soul Master Competition.
His appearance also made the atmosphere among the audience extremely warm, and everyone was shouting the Lord of Reincarnation.
Chen Ming could clearly feel the power of faith coming towards him.
He suppressed the emotions at the scene and announced the official start of the competition.
The competition proceeded in an orderly manner.
There were surprisingly many teams participating in this Soul Master Competition, with a total of 700 teams participating.
good.
Seven hundred!
Including the regular team members and the reserve team, each team must have at least ten people, and the full team size may be fourteen people.
In other words, there are at least seven thousand soul masters participating in this soul master competition.
With such a large number and such a large scale, it can be said that this is the largest Soul Master Competition in the history of Douluo Continent.
The Samsara Empire unified the continent, which eliminated many conflicts. The Soul Master Competition was held under the maintenance of the empire, and there was no need to worry about any security issues. In addition, the entry restrictions were changed, and registration was no longer required based on forces. This led to a surge in the number of participating teams.
It is said that Shrek has sent as many as seven teams this time, and each team is fully staffed with a total of fourteen members including regular players and reserve players. All seven teams are led by Wang Yan to participate in this competition together.
Not only Shrek, but also academies that have performed well in the Soul Master Competition in the past have sent multiple teams. Among them, Xingluo Royal Academy has sent two teams. In addition, it is said that there are two more teams formed by recruiting foreign soul masters with students from the Royal Academy as the core. A total of four teams are under the arrangement of Xingluo Royal Academy.
The same is true for the Tianhun Royal Team and the Douling Team, which expanded from one team to two or three teams.
Because the Xingluo royal family was completely destroyed by Chen Ming, the current Xingluo Royal Academy only retains its original name, and the actual controller is the current City Lord's Mansion of Xingluo City.
The same goes for Douling.
Only the Tianhun Empire still maintains the original rule of the Tianling royal family.
As for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Mentor Academy?
It was ruled by the Soul Guide Association, not the Sun-Moon Royal Family, because strictly speaking, the Sun-Moon Royal Family had disappeared in the long river of history.
Xu Tianran had already eliminated all dissidents from his direct lineage.
Collateral branch?
After the Sun and Moon Royal Family lost that bit of glory and the collateral bloodlines no longer recognized this bloodline, there was naturally no such thing as the Sun and Moon Royal Family lineage.
In addition to academies, there are also sects, which have similar structures.
The Soul Master Competition has removed the restriction that one must participate in the competition in the name of a force, so many forces are no longer bound and can form multiple participating teams.
By having multiple teams cooperate with each other, they can avoid being eliminated too early in the previous knockout rounds, and ensure that the real core teams advance in the subsequent promotion rounds and finals.
Of course, even so, among these 700 teams, only 400 belong to major forces, and the remaining 300 teams are real grassroots soul masters.
It is a team formed after independent soul masters recruited each other on the forum. They have more than a year to prepare and get used to each other. Some of them even traveled far away from home and left their own cities to go to the captain's city to prepare for the battle. They practiced every day and became familiar with each other's soul skills.
Now that the competition has opened, each participating team is extremely enthusiastic.
The first thing they face is the knockout round, which is a very cruel competition system.
"In the first round, the elimination round, all the arenas will be merged, and ten teams will form a group. A total of seventy people will enter the arena together for a big fight. Each time a soul master is eliminated, one point will be awarded. Eliminating the last player of the opposing team, that is, completely ending the opposing team, will award three points. If a team is ended, the points will be halved. The entire elimination round will be held in three rounds. In each round, all teams will be broken up and redistributed to avoid teams with strong strength being eliminated due to luck."
It is not a single match that determines the outcome, but it also increases the workload of the competition.
According to Chen Ming's rules, a knockout tournament will have 210 matches, and each match will be a melee involving 70 people.
Just listening to it makes people feel suffocated.
Each team will go through three melees, and then be ranked based on the combined points from the three melees. Finally, one hundred and sixty teams will successfully enter the second round.
"So exciting."
Some soul masters' blood boiled.
Isn't this more interesting than seven on seven?
The huge arena with seventy people seemed like a small battlefield, where they fought in all directions and were invincible.
Some soul masters have already begun to fantasize about their own heroic appearance.
Chen Ming slowly walked out from the platform. He stood between heaven and earth, waving his right hand.
Rumble.
The entire fighting spirit arena seemed to be shaken.
Originally, the Great Fighting Spirit Arena had audience seats and a fighting arena in the middle. In addition to the fighting arena, there were various preparation areas around it.
However, apart from the audience seats, there was no one in the middle arena area, and it was also isolated by the staff of the Samsara Palace.
The audience was confused before, but now they understand the purpose of this arrangement.
In the huge fighting spirit arena, nine arenas slowly rose up. Each arena was square in shape, with a side length of 500 meters. It was no exaggeration to say that this one arena could accommodate five arenas of previous soul master competitions.
The area of the Great Fighting Spirit Arena is very large, spanning ten kilometers, and the distance between the spectators at the two ends in each direction is nearly ten kilometers.
From such a long distance, it is naturally impossible to see the scene on the distant arena, but there are soul guide screens on site, with one screen for every thousand people in each area.
Not only that, as the nine arenas took shape, nine huge suspended platforms outside the Great Fighting Spirit Arena moved in and landed above each arena. When the platform stopped, you could see four screens around the platform, and the four screens were magnified versions of the scenes of the arena that could be seen from four directions.
Because of these four soul guide screens, the arena below has a 'ceiling', so the competition height is limited, and the flight of flying soul masters is restricted to a maximum of only thirty meters.
This design shocked the audience.
They were shocked at Chen Ming's ability to change the terrain with just a wave of his hand and create nine huge arenas. They were also shocked at this huge soul guide platform, which had no visible means of support but was able to float in the air.
The four soul guide screens on the soul guide platform have become embellishments, making people feel that they are ordinary.
Chen Ming took it all in.
He was also surprised by this soul guide platform.
"Sure enough, some technologies can make explosive progress as long as you break something."
The soul guide platform is definitely a masterpiece of soul guide technology. Perhaps many of the technologies it uses are a bit backward, and not yet advanced enough to be energy-efficient and environmentally friendly while operating on such a large scale, but its creation has been a major breakthrough in soul guide technology.
