Wang Dong'er sighed helplessly. "My two fathers wouldn't let me tell anyone. I already explained my real father left for a distant place long ago, so I barely remember him. But my two fathers have always been by my side in Haotian Sect. Even though much of my childhood memories are missing, I can feel how much they care for me. They are my family. But honestly, what I don't understand is why they insisted I disguise myself as a boy to study at Shrek Academy. When I go back, I will definitely argue with them about this!" As she spoke, Wang Dong'er grabbed Xiao Xiao's hand and pulled her onto the bed, her expression warm and sincere. "Xiao Xiao, even if we can't be lovers, we can still be best sisters. Before coming to the academy, I never had any close friends my age. Because in Haotian Sect, everyone feared me because of my status as Young Sect Master. They wouldn't even dare to be my friend." Xiao Xiao pouted. "Best sisters? Are you lying to me again? Who knows if even this name is real?" "Of course it's real! I swear on Ancestor Tang San's statue in Shrek Academy, I'm using my real name this time!" Wang Dong'er said with a playful smile. "But Xiao Xiao, you must keep this a secret. You absolutely can't tell anyone." Xiao Xiao gazed at Wang Dong'er's radiant smile, feeling her heart skip a beat. If only Wang Dong'er were a boy... The thought made her furious all over again. She had built up the courage to confess, had mentally prepared for rejection, and then she found out Wang Dong was actually Wang Dong'er?! "Fine, I won't tell. But since you lied to me for so long, I'm still angry. So I need you to do something for me consider it your way of making it up to me." Wang Dong'er tilted her head, curious. "Alright, tell me what do you want me to do?" Xiao Xiao sighed. "I'm still upset, but we are close. So I want you to seek treatment from Doctor Douluo. Your inability to use soul tools is a huge weakness. During the next Continental Soul Master Tournament, we'll definitely face even stronger soul tool teams. After all, in this year's tournament, soul tools dominated. The demand for soul tools is only increasing." Wang Dong'er rubbed her temples. "Fine, I'll talk to Doctor Douluo. But I won't travel to Star Luo Empire I'll use my connections to invite her to Shrek Academy instead." Doctor Douluo was the greatest healer of the current era, having treated countless difficult conditions. Perhaps she would have a way to fix Wang Dong'er's strange condition. Of course, after her trip to the Great Star Dou Forest, Wang Dong'er felt like her condition had almost healed. She could now use certain soul tools without feeling repulsed. But the improvement was short lived for some unknown reason, she reverted back to her old state. Inviting Doctor Douluo to Shrek Academy might be a good chance to figure out the truth. And just in case, she'd also reach out to a Spirit type Title Douluo to analyze her body. Star Luo Empire As dawn broke, a fresh post rain scent filled the air. Inside the imperial palace, Emperor Xu Jiawei had summoned all the Eighth Rank Soul Engineers of the empire. He got straight to the point. "Loyal ministers, I need some Drill Ground Soul Tools. Can you produce them quickly?" Reaching Eighth Rank as a Soul Engineer meant entering the empire's elite ranks. Since Titled Douluo were rare, Xu Jiawei placed his trust mainly in these high level engineers, most of whom were Soul Douluo level in strength. A few days ago, Body Sect informed him that everything was ready, except for the Drill Ground Soul Tools. They hoped he could provide them. Since Body Sect attacking Mingde Hall would benefit him, he couldn't refuse their request. But since the market had none, he had to turn to his own empire's engineers. The gathered engineers looked troubled. One elderly engineer with white hair stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Drill Ground Soul Tools are not difficult to manufacture. With our empire's current soul tool expertise, we can definitely make them. Even though our quality isn't on par with Mingde Hall's, they should still be usable. But... we are missing a key material." "What material?" Xu Jiawei asked. "The most crucial metal for Drill Ground Soul Tools is Silver Cloud Gold. And that only exists in the Sun Moon Empire." "Oh? Only the Sun Moon Empire has it? Then can we buy it?" Xu Jiawei asked, looking like a wealthy tycoon ready to throw money around. The elder shook his head helplessly. "We can't. The Sun Moon Empire has suddenly banned all exports of Silver Cloud Gold. We don't know why." "What about the black market? Or... can we secretly acquire it?" The elder sighed. "We tried. But everyone who attempted to smuggle Silver Cloud Gold was captured and thrown into Sun Moon's prisons. They're awaiting trial." Xu Jiawei frowned deeply. Could it be... The Sun Moon Empire discovered my alliance with Body Sect? No... impossible. There's no way they could have found out. There must be another reason for this sudden restriction. "But Your Majesty, if you only need Drill Ground Soul Tools, we do have a solution." "Oh?" "We still have some Star Luo Empire produced Drill Ground Soul Tools that can be used. But... they have some flaws." "What flaws?" "These aren't made with Silver Cloud Gold we had to use alternative rare metals. Also, our core formations are inferior to those of the Sun Moon version. So, without Silver Cloud Gold, our Star Luo version is significantly weaker than the Sun Moon version. If we could use Silver Cloud Gold, I believe we could greatly improve the quality." Xu Jiawei's expression darkened. "Didn't the empire buy any Sun Moon Drill Ground Soul Tools in the past?" As emperor, he was too busy to monitor every single transaction. "We did purchase them before, Your Majesty. But we don't have them anymore." The elder looked hesitant. "What do you mean, 'we don't have them anymore'?" The elder nervously explained, "We melted all the Sun Moon Drill Ground Soul Tools... To use their materials for developing Ninth Rank Fixed Soul Cannon Shells." Xu Jiawei was stunned. "You... what?!" The elder spoke cautiously. "Your Majesty, you previously ordered us to prioritize the development of Ninth Rank Fixed Soul Cannon Shells. But producing them requires a huge amount of rare metals, and our budget was limited. Since we thought those tools were unnecessary and could always be bought again later we decided to melt them down." Xu Jiawei was speechless. You've really made things difficult for me... Now Body Sect could only use Star Luo's inferior version of the Drill Ground Soul Tool?! With a grim expression, he asked, "How much weaker is our version compared to the Sun Moon version?"
