Douluo Dalu: This Soul Master is to Weird

Due to the predetermined direction of the plan, the high-level meeting of Blazing Academy ended quickly.

Afterward, Huo Lie began writing letters with great vigor, addressing the various factions across the continent.

The content of the letters varied depending on the recipient, broadly categorized into four types.

The first type was addressed to the Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The letters explicitly detailed the effects of whale glue, with no mention of any request for compensation. Instead, it merely asked the two factions to keep the information confidential for the time being.

The Heaven Dou Empire annually allocated funds to Blazing Academy, and Huo Lie understood that even without the academy explicitly asking, Emperor Xue Ye would undoubtedly provide some form of acknowledgment.

While Emperor Xue Ye had his shortcomings, he was adept at handling interpersonal relationships.

As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sect Master Ning was famously generous, to the point where Huo Lie didn't know how to broach the subject.

Should they talk about money?

That felt crass and inappropriate. Asking for too little might seem demeaning, while asking for too much could leave a bad impression.

Besides money, however, there wasn't much else the Blazing Academy could seek from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

After some discussion among the five academy executives, they decided not to include any conditions, leaving the matter to Sect Master Ning's discretion.

If Sect Master Ning didn't mind being perceived poorly, then Blazing Academy wouldn't mind being taken advantage of this one time.

The second type of letter was sent to Spirit Hall, the Star Luo Empire, the Holy Dragon Sect, and other prominent forces in the soul master world.

These letters didn't specify the exact details but stated that Blazing Academy had made a significant discovery that could bring monumental changes to soul masters.

If interested, these factions could send representatives with five to ten million gold soul coins to the academy. Blazing Academy pledged on its reputation as one of the elemental academies that there was no deception involved.

This approach was purely about leveraging their reputation for profit.

Wealthier factions, such as Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire, were required to bring ten million gold soul coins. For second-tier factions like the Holy Dragon Sect, five million gold soul coins would suffice.

Huo Lie understood that all the recipients of these letters would be intrigued. After all, the reputation of Blazing Academy preceded it.

However, while interest was inevitable, not all of them would be willing to spend money.

For example, the Holy Dragon Sect, a second-tier force and one of Spirit Hall's lackeys, wouldn't need to pay if Spirit Hall purchased the information. They could simply obtain it from Spirit Hall or conduct an internal trade.

Information, unlike tangible goods, has no replication costs.

The third and fourth types of letters were addressed to the other elemental academies: Sky Water Academy, Divine Wind Academy, Thunderclap Academy, and Elephant Armor Academy.

Although Blazing, Sky Water, Divine Wind, Thunderclap, and Elephant Armor were all considered elemental academies, they operated independently. Their relationships could be likened to four people in a dormitory creating numerous group chats but rarely communicating in person.

Elephant Armor Academy was founded by the Elephant Armor Sect, one of the lower four sects of the Seven Great Sects, with most of its faculty and students being members of the sect.

The Elephant Armor Sect was one of Spirit Hall's staunch allies. As such, the relationship between Elephant Armor Academy and the other elemental academies was distant, to the point where some even excluded Elephant Armor Academy, referring to themselves as the "Four Elemental Academies."

Thunderclap Academy, meanwhile, was affiliated with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the upper three sects on the continent.

Blazing, Sky water, and Divine Wind Academies, however, lacked such affiliations, which created a spectrum of closeness among the academies.

If the elemental academies' relationships were to be ranked by intimacy, Blazing, Sky Water, and Divine Wind Academies were the closest. The three academies maintained friendly ties with Thunderclap Academy.

As for Elephant Armor Academy, its relationship with the other four academies wasn't outright hostile but could be described as cold indifference—a familiar stranger at best.

Because of these varying degrees of closeness, Huo Lie's letters to the four academies conveyed two distinct attitudes.

The letters to Thunderclap and Elephant Armor Academies invited them to a meeting at Blazing Academy in a month, urging them to send representatives along with their top students.

In addition to the meeting, they were asked to bring their wallets, as Blazing Academy had a significant discovery to share.

Meanwhile, the letters to Sky Water and Divine Wind Academies were far more forthright, directly detailing the effects of whale glue and inviting them to the meeting.

Huo Lie wasn't being generous but rather ambitious.

As Yan Ruhuo had said, the continent was destined for chaos. By forming strong alliances and growing stronger together, they could deter potential adversaries.

Huo Lie had great faith in his nephew, Mu Yang. Once Mu Yang, a twin martial soul wielder with innate full soul power, grew to his full potential, Huo Lie would be ready to retire.

At that point, Mu Yang could officially take over, using his unparalleled strength to integrate the three academies and establish the strongest soul master academy on the continent. As one of the key players in this effort, Huo Lie would secure his place in history.

Would Sky Water and Divine Wind refuse?

What a joke. Did they not understand the value of invincibility?

In the soul master world, where strength reigned supreme, sayings like "better to be a chicken's head than a phoenix's tail" didn't hold water.

A chicken was still a chicken, and a phoenix was still a phoenix. Even a single feather from a phoenix was something a chicken couldn't compare to.

Take factions like the Elephant Armor Sect or the Holy Dragon Sect—weren't they still serving Spirit Hall as loyal subordinates?

Moreover, Blazing Academy wasn't asking Sky Water and Divine Wind Academies to serve them but rather to become equal partners in a new institution.

This collaboration would inevitably yield further profits, which could be used to expand the academy or even establish a new one in a better location.

Five days later.

In the early hours of the morning, moonlight streamed into the bedroom through the window. Mu Yang, a model of diligence, had yet to sleep. He sat cross-legged on his bed, radiating faint waves of spiritual energy as he worked on deducing a new ability.

After a long time, as his spiritual energy was once again half-depleted, the fluctuations around Mu Yang's body gradually subsided. He had completed the deduction of a new secret technique.

Opening his eyes, Mu Yang's expression turned serious as he activated the secret technique he had recently developed at the expense of setting aside his body-tempering cultivation for a few days.

Immediately, a faint red glow of soul power enveloped Mu Yang's body, forming a thin, translucent, red membrane over his skin, as delicate as a cicada's wings.
