The first matter was that Huo Yuhao had been expelled from Shrek Academy.
In the original story, Huo Yuhao was the undisputed child of fortune.
But now, Huo Yuhao had actually been expelled from Shrek Academy so easily, without any room for maneuver.
When this information reached Xu Tianhao's ears through the regular monthly letters sent back by Ji Juechen, Ma Rulong, and the others,
he was instantly stunned, his heart filled with surprise and confusion.
Huo Yuhao was the child of fortune after all; even without the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Electrolux, how could he end up in such a state?
Could it be that his own arrival had triggered a massive butterfly effect, altering the original plot trajectory?
Had even Tang San, who manipulated everything from behind the scenes, adjusted his plans accordingly?
This series of questions made Xu Tianhao a bit more wary of the current situation.
And the second matter was even more incomprehensible to Xu Tianhao than Huo Yuhao's expulsion.
That was the appearance of Tang Wutong.
In the original plot, to get close to Huo Yuhao, Tang Wutong used the alias Wang Dong and entered Shrek Academy as a male, becoming roommates with Huo Yuhao and gradually developing a connection.
But now, not only did Tang Wutong not use the alias Wang Dong or disguise herself as a man, she appeared directly before everyone using her real name.
Furthermore, there was no Soul splitting, and her style of action was completely different from the original story, not approaching Huo Yuhao according to the established plot at all.
This abnormal situation left Xu Tianhao full of confusion, and he couldn't help but secretly speculate.
Could it be that the all-controlling God King Tang had a change of heart and decided to stop manipulating the fates of his descendants?
Or was it that because of the changes in the plot, God King Tang's plans had also been adjusted with new arrangements?
The change in Tang Wutong's identity and trajectory also led Xu Tianhao to think of more.
Since there was no Tang Wutong under the alias Wang Dong, would Wang Qiuer, who had countless ties to Wang Dong in the original story, still appear?
Wang Qiuer (the split Soul of Tang Wutong) was closely related to the Three-Eyed Golden Ni. If Wang Qiuer's plot changed,
then would the fate of the Three-Eyed Golden Ni and the situation in the Star Dou Great Forest also undergo world-shaking changes?
All sorts of doubts and speculations constantly filled Xu Tianhao's brain, making him feel distracted and irritable for a moment.
The reason he could seize the initiative step by step in such a short time was largely due to his knowledge of the original plot and his advantage of foresight.
Relying on these, he could plan ahead, avoid risks, and seize Opportunities.
But now, with such a massive change in the plot and the trajectories of key figures like Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong completely deviating, the future situation had become blurred and unpredictable.
He might no longer be able to make precise predictions as he had in the past, and this sense of losing control inevitably made him feel anxious.
However, Xu Tianhao was firm of mind after all, possessing the grand ambition to become a Heaven-Defying god and unify the continent.
After a brief moment of irritation, he quickly adjusted his mindset and restored his usual calm and composure.
Since he had already stepped onto this path of contending with heaven and fighting fate,
and had made the grand wish to unify the continent and become a Heaven-Defying god, he couldn't let his rhythm be disrupted by the current plot changes.
Even if reality was far removed from the original plot, and even if the future was full of unknowns, he didn't need to overthink it.
He would meet whatever came his way; by relying on his own strength and effort, and by solidifying his Foundation and improving his cultivation step by step, he would be sufficient to handle all variables.
After thinking this through, Xu Tianhao completely let go of the stray thoughts in his heart and stopped dwelling on the changes regarding Tang Wutong and Huo Yuhao.
He also stopped speculating about Tang San's plans, instead putting all his energy into Cultivation and preparation for the tournament.
Rather than wasting time thinking about an uncertain future, it was better to focus on improving his own strength.
Only by being strong enough himself could he remain invincible in the face of any change and realize his grand ambitions step by step.
Since setting his goals, Xu Tianhao's days had become regular and tight.
Every day, besides settling down to Cultivate diligently and make full preparations for that high-profile tournament nine months away,
he spent almost all his remaining free time with Electrolux, wholeheartedly studying the Soul Spirit Method.
The Soul Spirit Method was originally the result of Electrolux's research in the original story, a Major Achievement that combined Necromancy with the cultivation system of the Douluo Continent.
Now that Electrolux was with Xu Tianhao, he naturally wanted the Soul Spirit Method to be introduced to the world ahead of time.
Although the Soul Spirit Method was not perfect and could not completely eliminate the conflict between humans and Spirit Beasts that had lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, nor could it be entirely friendly to all Spirit Beasts,
for the current Sun Moon Empire, it was a subversive revolution sufficient to change the entire combat system of the Empire's Spirit Masters.
The combat system of the Sun Moon Empire's Spirit Masters was completely different from the other three nations on the Douluo Continent.
The Spirit Masters here were almost all Soul Engineers, and their combat methods mostly relied on spirit tools.
spirit power was used more to drive the operation of spirit tools, while their own spirit ring combinations had instead become secondary.
But if the Soul Spirit Method was introduced, allowing every Soul Engineer to have a Soul Spirit that was in sync with their mind to fight alongside them,
the Soul Spirit could both provide spirit rings and independently use Spirit Abilities to coordinate with spirit tool attacks.
Such a combination where one plus one was far greater than two would surely allow the overall strength of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Engineers to achieve a qualitative leap.
It might even completely rewrite the power landscape of the Spirit Master's world on the continent.
With such considerations in mind, Xu Tianhao shared his complete vision of the Soul Spirit Method from his memories with Electrolux without reservation.
When Electrolux finished listening to this theory, which used Necromancy as a Foundation to transform Spirit Beasts into Soul Spirits and reshape the way Spirit Masters obtained spirit rings,
his originally calm eyes instantly burst with brilliant light, and he repeatedly praised it as an unprecedented and ingenious idea.
Electrolux now also understood the cultivation system of the Douluo Continent and remarked that this was a world-shaking method that could resolve some of the conflicts between Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts.
Electrolux was already a Peak powerhouse in Necromancy, with an understanding of life-form transformation that far surpassed ordinary people.
Xu Tianhao's vision happened to open a brand-new research direction for him. The two hit it off immediately and decided then and there to start refining and practicing the Soul Spirit Method.
With Xu Tianhao's current status in the Sun Moon Empire, holding supreme power and resources, he naturally didn't need to risk his own body for experiments.
After a brief thought, he directly gave the order to select a group of Spirit Masters who had reached a Bottleneck in their cultivation from the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Engineer Legions and the imperial Spirit Master teams.
These Spirit Masters ranged from the Spirit Elder to the Spirit Douluo level, making them the most perfect experimental subjects.
At the same time, Xu Tianhao arranged for personnel to secretly capture Spirit Beasts of different ages and species.
These Spirit Beasts ranged from hundred-year and thousand-year to ten-thousand-year, covering various types such as power-attack, control, and support.
Xu Tianhao sent all these Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts into the Undead Semi-Plane controlled by Electrolux.
The Undead Semi-Plane was a space of its own, and Electrolux had absolute control over this place.
This could both isolate external interference and allow for the adjustment of experimental progress at any time, making it an excellent place for developing the Soul Spirit Method.
Electrolux presided over it, relying on his Peak mastery of Necromancy.
Combined with the mature theory provided by Xu Tianhao, he dismantled the core principles of Soul Spirit transformation step by step, deducing the patterns of the magic arrays and their operational logic over and over again.
With sufficient experimental samples and complete theoretical support,
plus Electrolux's top-tier strength and Xu Tianhao's precise control, the research process advanced extremely rapidly.
In just half a year, the Soul Spirit Method saw a Breakthrough in progress and was officially developed successfully.
