Chapter 181 The Prince Who Flees the Sun and Moon.
"Just do your best. If you can't find it, it's just fate!"
Kong Xuan wasn't bothered by this; he simply took a chance and proposed the "Great Exploration" to Kong Deming.
According to the original history, as the Sun Moon Empire grew stronger, the Star Luo Empire would have left for the New World more than a hundred years later.
This new continent is the same continent that Kong Xuan has now suggested Kong Deming search for.
Kong Xuan did this not to become the "Columbus" of this world, nor did he value the continent itself, but rather the "Dragon Island" on that continent!
That place is the site of the dragons' demise, and it contains many treasures.
Although Kong Xuan does not possess a Dragon Clan Martial Soul, he believes that with the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena as an ally, it shouldn't be a problem for him to gain some benefits.
Compared to Kong Xuan's casual and indifferent attitude, Kong Deming was much more serious.
He said, "If there really is a divine legacy on that continent, then we must find it."
Kong Deming was truly "terrified of poverty," since the Sun Moon Empire had never produced a god!
Kong Xuan opened his mouth, but the words remained unspoken. The Dragon God's legacy is not something anyone can accept.
If Lan Xuanyu in Douluo Continent IV hadn't had all sorts of pre-arranged "cheat codes," he wouldn't have been able to become the Little Dragon God.
However, things are too complicated, and there's no need to tell Kong Deming right now. Finding that continent is the prerequisite for everything.
...
The day after Du Busi left Riyue, it was also the fifth day after Xian Lin'er and Xuan Zi left Riyue.
Xian Lin'er stepped into the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy again, bringing the four soul bones she had promised.
Kong Deming waved his hand and distributed two of the soul bones, one for Kong Xuan and one for Ren Jun.
After all, Xuanzi was arrested because he was going to attack Ren Jun and Kong Xuan. They could be considered victims of this incident, so it was reasonable for Xuanzi to compensate them with soul bones.
Kong Deming let the two choose for themselves, and Ren Jun only chose a 60,000-year-old left arm bone of a Gale Leopard.
He really didn't expect that this matter would have such benefits later on.
Back in Shrek Academy, it was impossible to obtain the academy's soul bone without paying a hefty price.
So he resisted the temptation of the 100,000-year-old soul bone, since he hadn't put in any effort.
After comparing the two in his mind, his sense of recognition and belonging to the Sun Moon Empire became even stronger.
So whether Kong Deming's decision was genuine or a ploy to acquire valuable assets, it has already achieved its intended effect.
Kong Xuan didn't stand on ceremony with his grandfather and ultimately chose a 130,000-year-old Starry Sky Horse right leg bone.
In just a few days, Kong Xuan fused two soul bones, both of which were over 100,000 years old.
Kong Xuan's soul power has also improved as a result, and he has now reached level 57, which is not far from becoming a Soul Emperor. He is only thirteen years old!
Time flies, the sun and moon revolve, and nine months have quietly passed.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy should have been bustling and vibrant with the start of the new semester.
However, the academy's top students and Dean Jing Hongchen are not in the academy at this moment, nor even in Mingdu!
Their figures appeared in a small city called Maple Leaf City on the western border of the Heavenly Soul Empire, thousands of miles away.
The city is not large and is named after the abundance of maple leaves growing on the surrounding mountains.
Maple Leaf City is also an important supply city for the western frontier army of the Heavenly Soul Empire, so this small city can be described as prosperous.
However, this only applies to the original Douluo Three Kingdoms. Compared to the "modern" cities of the Sun Moon Empire, they are far inferior and incomparable.
Today, a historic student exchange ceremony between the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy will be held right here.
Both sides will send ten outstanding students to each other's colleges for a two-year study exchange.
For the two academies that have been hostile to each other and have been competing for thousands of years, this is undoubtedly an unprecedented first.
Maple Leaf Square in the center of Maple Leaf City had been cleared out and simply decorated. On one side of the square, a dozen or so people, led by Jing Hongchen, were wearing the standard school uniform of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, waiting for the Shrek Academy group to arrive.
As Kong Xuan had predicted, all seven members of the reserve team participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament were selected from the ten exchange members.
The remaining three are Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Ji Juechen!
Shrek Academy's soul tool technology was naturally beneath their notice; the students they sent there were there to learn about martial souls.
Although both Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen are Soul Masters, their Martial Souls are quite extraordinary. Unlike other Soul Masters who attach all their Soul Skills to increase Soul Power, they possess great potential for developing their own Martial Souls.
As for Ji Juechen, this sword fanatic, as the chief of the Soul Guidance Department under the actual control of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, this "outlier" is following the orthodox path of a Soul Master, so it is not surprising that he was chosen.
As for the team leader, besides Ren Jun, the other one is also an "old friend," namely the titled Douluo Masheng.
Equipped with battle armor, his soul power increased to level ninety-four.
Although he was still no match for the Super Douluo of Shrek Academy, Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen equipped him with a number of fixed-position soul-guided cannons, including these four level-nine ones, which was the source of his confidence.
If Shrek Academy dares to resort to underhanded tactics, he dares to blow Shrek Academy to the heavens!
"They're here! The Shrek Academy people are here!"
Xu Wei shouted, and immediately everyone's eyes turned to the other entrance of the square.
A group of more than ten people, led by a tall, handsome middle-aged man, slowly walked into the square.
Behind this person was Xianlin'er, who had visited the Sun Moon Empire twice, followed by the teachers and students who participated in the exchange.
There aren't many people who can make Xianliner take a backseat, and who don't look that old.
Within his spiritual sea, Electrolux let out a soft "Eh," and transmitted his voice, saying, "The power of light within him is not weak."
Kong Xuan now knew who was leading the way; it must be Yan Shaozhe, the Dean of the Spirit Department at Shrek Academy and the Phoenix Douluo!
Kong Xuan then looked at the students behind him, all wearing Shrek Academy's dark green uniforms, but he didn't recognize any of them.
None of the Shrek Academy's geniuses who had participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament were among them.
It seems that the people Shrek Academy sent were primarily there to learn the soul guidance techniques of the Sun and Moon Sect.
Finally, Kong Xuan fixed his gaze on the tall young man. He had short hair and dark skin, and these distinctive features made Kong Xuan guess his identity at first glance.
Xu He, the runaway prince of the Sun Moon Empire.
But now we should call him He Caitou!
Kong Xuan's eyes flashed with golden light, and not a single detail escaped his notice. It was clear that He Caitou's right leg was not the original one, but a soul-guided prosthetic limb.
Kong Xuan realized that he was the unlucky guy who had been crippled by the messenger of death. He had come to participate in the exchange activity, and now he had walked right into a trap.
As the Shrek Academy members stepped forward, the air seemed to freeze.
An invisible spark ignited violently the moment their eyes met.
