Soul Land: Top Comprehension-Chapter 352 - 228: Qian Duoduo’s Counterattack

Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Bai Feng all worry about Su Yu.

They have truly experienced the effects of deep meditation and know that once interrupted, the losses can be significant.

However, what the three don’t know is that for Su Yu, deep meditation itself is not so rare.

For Su Yu, the cultivation environment is most important.

After all, with his own insights, Su Yu often enters deep meditation occasionally anyway, but his insight speed is fast, and he often breaks through small bottlenecks, making it seem like normal meditation for other Soul Masters.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed since the five entered the Sea God Pavilion for cultivation.

Yan Shaozhe unceremoniously arrives outside the room where Su Yu is and wakes him from his cultivation state.

"Huh? Is it time already?"

Su Yu, immersed in insights, has indeed forgotten the time.

However, since the time is up, there’s no other choice.

The relationship between Mingde Hall and Shrek means there’s less dissatisfaction when someone directly interrupts him when the time’s up.

When they were in meditation, Shrek didn’t make a fuss outside to disturb their insights, which is satisfying enough.

...

Su Yu is invited out by the many elders of the Sea God Pavilion.

Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Bai Feng are already waiting outside the Sea God Pavilion, relieved to see Su Yu come out.

It appears there are no adverse effects.

Su Yu feels the somewhat changed attitude of Shrek’s elders and is puzzled.

Though still stiff, something seems to be missing.

After a moment’s thought, Su Yu seems to have an answer.

"Is Orange progressing that fast?" he frowned, feeling somewhat surprised.

Logically, Orange should slow down the war’s progress a bit to have an opportunity for assassination.

However, why hasn’t Qian Duoduo been seen today?

Su Yu notices the absence of Qian Duoduo’s presence.

"Xiaoyu, you’re out, so let’s go," Xuan Ziweng waited in Shrek for a long time, but didn’t waste time. Over the year, besides pondering soul-guiding devices theoretically, he was cultivating.

Just right, the Shrek Inner Courtyard, though not as good as the environment inside the Sea God Pavilion, still serves as an excellent cultivation place.

A year has passed, and Xuan Ziweng’s Soul Power has reached Level 94!

This already matches the peak level of ninth-level Soul Guides in the history of the Sun and Moon Empire. With some more accumulation, and arming himself with ninth-level soul-guiding devices, he can unleash the power of a Super Douluo.

With Xuan Ziweng’s talent, creating his own exclusive soul-guiding devices to reach the pure Soul Master’s Level 98 Super Douluo like Mirror Hongchen isn’t impossible.

Of course, all this is based on previous systems.

Now, the whole Soul Master Realm and Soul Guide Realm are undergoing transformation, and future evaluation systems will be unified at the combat level.

After all, the appearance of Battle Armor intertwines Soul Masters and Soul Guides completely.

Comparing based purely on the existence of a single system is no longer suitable.

These will be the future tasks of Mingde Hall, to quantify the various aspects of reform, making everything data-driven.

This is what Mingde Hall was previously working on, developing instruments to measure body quality, Martial Soul quality, and even Soul Ring quality for Soul Masters as a result.

...

"Qian Duoduo is undertaking further study at Mingde Hall?" Su Yu’s face shows mixed emotions, listening to Xuan Ziweng’s explanation, feeling quite speechless.

It seems that the scene from the original where Shrek went to Mingde Hall for study has indeed occurred.

However, many things are no longer the same.

It’s truly a legitimate further study.

During his time in Shrek, Xuan Ziweng had brief contact with Qian Duoduo, which led to great admiration for Xuan Ziweng’s soul-guiding theory.

Even though Qian Duoduo also has comprehensive inheritances, it pales in comparison.

Because it’s a problem of the system.

His inheritance, no matter how comprehensive, isn’t systematic. Consequently, he intended to go to Mingde Hall for further study.

Three months ago, he initiated a Sea God Pavilion meeting, where he presented his views on the current continental situation.

At the same time, he also brought up the future choices for Shrek.

It can be said that during this meeting, Qian Duoduo earnestly debated, truly dominating the discussion. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Yan Shaozhe was left speechless, Xuanzi was silent, and apart from the two, the others with the oldest qualifications and most authority, Elder Lin and Elder Song, notably Elder Song due to his daughter Martial God Douluo’s relationship, supported Qian Duoduo, and Elder Lin did not oppose Qian Duoduo.

Since then, Shrek’s direction truly shifted.

Qian Duoduo’s trip to Mingde Hall became a logical step.

Of course, Shrek’s side paid a considerable price.

Su Yu listened to Xuan Ziweng recounting the events, stunned.

It seems the honest Qian Duoduo, when pressured, can indeed accomplish great things.

He indirectly obtained a subtle dominance over Shrek Sea God Pavilion, changing Shrek’s policy, and even entered Mingde Hall himself.

Facing the crisis, he also improved himself.

By the time the war ends, when he returns safely, he will bring back the digested soul-guiding technology inheritance and the Battle Armor system theory, becoming Shrek’s main force for future development.

Truly an underdog story.

...

"Wait for me."

After leaving Shrek City, Su Yu asks the five to wait for him at the same spot while he goes to retrieve the ninth-level fixed soul-guided cannon.

He originally planned a year’s cultivation, and his arrangements were sufficient for a year.

Even leaving a precious soul-guiding device like the ninth-level fixed soul-guided cannon in the wild, Su Yu is confident enough.

Arriving at a dense forest, Su Yu waves his hand, causing Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy to surge.

A light shield appears from thin air, with runes streaming over it, subtly connected to the interior.

Su Yu manipulates Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy, forming specific patterns added to each rune. Instantly, the light shield flickers a few times and then disappears.

Inside the light shield is a ninth-level fixed soul-guided cannon radiating terrifying energy waves, ready to fire.

Surrounding the ninth-level fixed soul-guided cannon are six eighth-level soul-guiding device pillars arranged in a hexagram formation, forming a corresponding array. Primordial Energy gathers around the pillars, flowing between them to form complex patterns.

The six eighth-level soul-guiding devices, arranged in rune form, interact and absorb and store Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi for self-sufficient energy. Once triggered, they can reinforce the previously removed light shield to achieve Super Douluo-level defense.

Even an Extreme Douluo couldn’t instantly break the shield.

Additionally, it would activate the ninth-level fixed soul-guided cannon, firing the ninth-level fixed soul-guided shells.

It can be said that Su Yu’s arrangement is incredibly thorough.

He dismantles layer after layer of protection, carefully removing the ninth-level fixed soul-guiding shells, placing them back in the Storage Soul-guiding Device before taking away the ninth-level fixed soul-guided cannon.

...

After re-collecting the arrangements around Shrek City, Su Yu returns to the city gate.

"Let’s go."

After the six depart, in the Shrek Sea God Pavilion, Xuanzi lets out a sigh of relief.

"He took the ninth-level fixed soul-guided cannon away."

"Yes."

During the Sea God Pavilion meeting led by Qian Duoduo, their silence wasn’t just because Qian Duoduo had more compelling arguments, but also due to the constant threat emanating from the ninth-level fixed soul-guided shells.

This era is ultimately no longer dominated by Soul Masters.

At least, pure Soul Masters can’t lead anymore.

Shrek needs to reform, to change, to truly transform, or it will become increasingly obsolete.

In the current war, if Shrek insists on participating, trying to stop a disaster, they will discard their future hope for reform.

"Alas, let’s follow what Duoduo proposed, Shrek Outer Courtyard will no longer enroll students and gradually disband."

Shrek Academy shouldn’t become a place for superficial achievements, nor should it be established due to situational needs, as an Outer Courtyard.

Shrek is Shrek, without an Inner or Outer Courtyard.

As for prosperity, that’s not Shrek’s glory.

Shrek’s glory is nurturing monsters, only nurturing monsters.
