Regardless of the situation, this matter is worth noting. If Tang San truly mastered some means that could corrupt people, the harm it would bring to the entire Continent would be immense.
"I've researched some new spirit tools that are perfect for war. You can arrange for people to produce some." Saying this, Shi Quan took out the Soul Convergence Pistol and other self-developed spirit tools, as well as a large number of books, from his hundred treasure pouch, placing them on his left and right.
"These are the manufacturing processes for these spirit tools." Shi Quan pointed to the small stack of books on the right, then pointed to the other side and said, "These are theoretical studies on various aspects of spirit tools, which can serve as the foundation for the Empire's development of spirit tools. However, researching spirit tools can easily delay a Spirit Master's Cultivation, so the Empire should ideally establish some comprehensive management systems for this to avoid putting the cart before the horse."
"You researched all of these yourself?" Qian Renxue casually picked up a book and flipped through it, her expression one of surprise.
Shi Quan did not hide it and replied directly, "No, I learned them from another Continent."
"Another Continent?"
"Yes, besides the Douluo Continent, beyond the sea, there are other Continents. I learned the theoretical knowledge for these spirit tools from a Continent called the Sun Moon Continent."
"Sun Moon Continent?" Qian Renxue's eyes were full of curiosity. "Tell me about the Sun Moon Continent. Are there any other Continents besides the Sun Moon Continent?"
"Of course, there are other Continents." Shi Quan sat opposite Qian Renxue, picked up a teacup, poured himself some water, and began to tell Qian Renxue about his experiences in other Continents.
Qian Renxue listened quietly as Shi Quan recounted what he had seen and heard in the outside World, and a few ripples appeared in her calm eyes.
"After you unify the Douluo Continent, if you have the chance, go out and see the World. Don't lock yourself in here."
"I'll consider it." Qian Renxue replied with a faint smile.
"Oh, by the way, where is the list for the Soul Spirit Assembly?"
"I'll have someone send over the list for the Soul Spirit Assembly shortly."
"Alright." Shi Quan stood up. "Then I'll be going now."
"You should know whether I am male or female." Qian Renxue suddenly said, looking at Shi Quan's departing back.
Shi Quan chuckled softly, raised his hand, and waved at Qian Renxue with his back to her, "Got it, Xue'er."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's lips curved into a smile, and she watched Shi Quan leave.
The next day, the list for the Soul Spirit Assembly was delivered to Shi Quan.
After reading the list, Shi Quan began to act. First, he went to the Sunset Forest to collect some suitable Spirit Beasts to transform into soul spirits, and then he set off for the Star Dou Great Forest.
These thousand slots could help a thousand Spirit Masters Break through their Bottleneck, and these thousand Spirit Master slots now belonged to the Heaven Dou Empire, which would significantly boost the Heaven Dou Empire Spirit Master's strength.
There was about a month left until this year's Soul Spirit Assembly.
The Heaven Dou Empire had already prepared for the upcoming war.
As soon as the Soul Spirit Assembly concluded, these thousand Spirit Masters would head to the front lines.
Within two months, the war between the two great Empires would begin.
A month later, the Soul Spirit Assembly proceeded as usual.
Everything went smoothly; no forces dared to disrupt this annual grand event.
As soon as the Soul Spirit Assembly ended, the Heaven Dou Empire immediately mobilized. Tens of thousands of soldiers, like an iron torrent, gathered and pressed towards the Star Luo Empire.
The Star Luo Empire, retreating steadily, did not engage in too many fierce battles with the Heaven Dou Empire, continuously accumulating strength until outside the Bian Luo City plain. Only then did the Star Luo Emperor gather all his forces, preparing for a decisive battle with the Heaven Dou Empire.
The vast army, teeming with people, was boundless, with banners fluttering and perfect order. In units of ten thousand, the Heaven Dou Empire's army gathered on the plain of Bian Luo City.
The army was divided into three sections.
First, the first section consisted of ordinary soldiers wearing armor and wielding long halberds.
The armor of the soldiers in the second section was simpler, but these soldiers generally carried bombs and gunpowder at their waists. This section belonged to the spirit tool soldier section.
The third section, naturally, was the Spirit Master section.
Among the three major sections, although ordinary soldiers were the most numerous, in terms of lethality in battle, the ordinary soldier section could not compare with the spirit tool section and the Spirit Master section at all.
From all aspects, the Star Luo Empire was inferior to the Heaven Dou Empire. However, their ordinary army was definitely superior to that of the Heaven Dou Empire. The Star Luo Empire governed with an iron-blooded policy, which could be seen from the experiences of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. How could such a country's army be weak?
However, such ordinary armies are useless in large-scale wars.
If the Star Luo Empire fielded an ordinary army of one hundred thousand, a Heaven Dou Empire spirit tool army of ten thousand could easily annihilate them.
The terrifying lethality of bombs in war is simply something ordinary soldiers cannot contend with.
This is an absolute disparity.
"The strength gap is too wide; the Star Luo Empire has no chance."
Inside the military camp, Shi Quan slowly opened his eyes. Through the connection of the Blue Silver Domain with plants, he already had a general idea of the Star Luo Empire's army strength.
The two were simply not on the same level; this was no longer something that could be changed by strategy.
Simply in terms of Titled Douluo-level combat power, the Heaven Dou Empire already exceeded two digits.
To be precise, it had already exceeded twenty.
The Star Luo Empire had no more than four.
The disparity in top-tier combat power was already an insurmountable gap between the two. If the Heaven Dou Empire simply sent out these more than twenty Titled Douluo to launch a surprise attack, they could easily slaughter their way through the Star Luo army three times over, and the Star Luo Empire would be helpless against them.
Above Spirit Master Spirit Saint, each Rank of strength shows a significant improvement and change, especially at the Titled Douluo Rank, where the difference is even more pronounced.
A poison-attribute Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo could easily poison tens of thousands of soldiers with a single Spirit Ability; there was simply no fighting back.
Facing such a predicament, the Star Luo Empire still chose to fight.
It can only be said that the Star Luo Empire also had its own persistence.
However, what made Shi Quan curious was whether, after the Star Luo Empire was defeated, it would migrate some military forces to other Continents, as depicted in later parts of Douluo.
After thinking carefully, Shi Quan shook his head, because it was simply impossible. In the future, the Star Luo Empire would have cross-sea spirit tool ships, allowing them to transfer. However, on the current Douluo Continent, spirit tools had not yet developed. If they were to sail out on ordinary ships, such a large target would inevitably be torn apart directly by the Sea Soul Beasts in the sea.
Now they were forced back with no retreat.
No retreat, perhaps this was also the reason why the Star Luo Empire chose to fight to the death with the Heaven Dou Empire.
