This world prioritizes strength above all. It's impossible to truly eliminate class conflicts, and Su Yu naturally doesn't harbor any illusions of eradicating the nobility.
One can only aim to limit it to a certain extent.
Soon, Su Yu is about to attempt reforms to promote a new order. The nobility needs to be preemptively warned so that the upcoming reforms can proceed more smoothly.
As for the pressure on Mingde Hall from the nobility, which Huo Yuhao worries about,
again, this world values strength above all. With the combined power of Su Yu and Mirror Hongchen, along with the current strength of Mingde Hall, the nobility within the Sun and Moon Empire, even if they hold authority, cannot exert any substantial influence over Mingde Hall.
On the contrary, as Mingde Hall is about to promote the Universal Technique and spread Armor System technology, the entire Soul Master Realm and Soul Guide Realm will be immensely grateful to Mingde Hall.
The nobility will not oppose Mingde Hall at this moment.
Moreover, Su Yu is not a fool; he won't just use the stick without offering a reward.
Sweet incentives will also be arranged.
"Just a stern warning to the nobles behind the Ordinary Alliance and Aodou Commerce Association will suffice. The important target remains the forces behind the Xishui Alliance. The entire Xishui Alliance serves as a base for the Holy Spirit Sect. Whatever complex forces they are involved with, they all ultimately relate to the Evil Soul Masters."
This time, Su Yu is preparing to focus on targeting this group of nobles.
With the premise of combating Evil Soul Masters, there's no need to worry about retaliatory backlash against these nobles.
Completely cutting them off at the root is entirely feasible.
"Gather the information you have and hand it over to the Hall Master later. We can begin targeted investigations."
"Okay, Brother Yu."
Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, then returned to his dormitory to sort through the materials. After organizing everything, he went to Mirror Hongchen's office and handed the compiled list to Mirror Hongchen.
"I understand what Xiaoyu means now."
Mirror Hongchen carefully reviewed the information concerning the nobles related to the Xishui Alliance, quickly scanning through each of them.
"These are just a small part."
Since the time of the former emperor, there has been an unspoken cooperation with the Holy Spirit Sect. However, the former emperor, whose health was already failing, feared for his posthumous reputation and did not fully embrace this partnership, only engaging in half-hearted dealings while outwardly continuing efforts to eradicate Evil Soul Masters.
However, the fact that the Holy Spirit Sect is able to establish itself within the Sun and Moon Empire inherently indicates a problem.
It's safe to say that after years of infiltration, there are traces of Evil Soul Masters in many regions of the Sun and Moon Empire, which was previously discovered by Xu Tianran at the Great Soul Arena.
"Old Ma, send people to investigate these individuals."
Upon receiving the list, Elder Ma hesitated slightly and asked, "Hall Master, shouldn't we inform His Majesty about this?"
Mirror Hongchen waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Use the power of Mingde Hall to investigate directly; there's no need to report to His Majesty."
Reported or not, Xu Tianran would want an investigation but might not be able to openly approve it for fear of leaking information.
If so, then it's better not to report at all.
Mirror Hongchen knows full well that this action exceeds the authority of Mingde Hall, and investigating within the empire without the emperor's consent could easily give Xu Tianran an excuse to remove him as Hall Master.
However, Mirror Hongchen is indispensable to Mingde Hall at this time, and Xu Tianran cannot replace him now.
Mirror Hongchen's attitude towards Xu Tianran was never cordial due to the emperor's collaboration with the Holy Spirit Sect, and with his own increasing strength, Mirror Hongchen doesn't revere Xu Tianran as much as he used to.
After all, this old man is working for the empire, not for Xu Tianran's reign.
By the time Xu Tianran abdicates and the next emperor takes over, the empire will be healthy and whole—then Mirror Hongchen's actions would have real meaning.
Elder Ma left with the list, initiating the process of investigating the nobles who possessed at least a Seventh-level Soul Guide in the past decade.
...
"The Soul Spirit Cultivation System still needs improvement."
Returning to his dormitory, Su Yu immediately resumed work on perfecting the Soul Spirit Cultivation System.
Addressing the issue of integrating Martial Souls with Soul Masters required Su Yu to run many simulations to successfully combine them.
"The integration of Martial Souls and Soul Masters is essentially about Soul Masters excavating potential from their Martial Souls and supporting it through external forces."
Excavation can be gradually encouraged through Cultivation Techniques and the Observation Technique.
"The entry barrier for the Observation Technique needs to be lowered a bit. Right now, for those who haven't established a Sea of Spirit, my version of the Observation Technique is too difficult to begin with."
"The Basic Observation Technique, when combined with Cultivation Techniques to circulate Soul Power, can help visualize relevant images to achieve the purpose of observation. No, one should visualize their own Martial Soul, extracting the characteristics of their own Martial Soul through meditation. As one's understanding of the Martial Soul deepens, the visualized Martial Soul will increasingly resemble the actual Martial Soul, thereby enhancing the integration of Soul Master and Martial Soul..."
In this way, with the Basic Observation Technique as the foundation, upon opening the Sea of Spirit, one can also quickly gain entry into true Observation Techniques.
Moreover, the presence of the Basic Observation Technique will inevitably enhance the Soul Master's Spiritual Power, making it easier for them to establish a Sea of Spirit. Establishing the Sea of Spirit earlier allows for more thorough Spiritual Power training, makes entering Observation Techniques easier, and increases the efficiency of training Spiritual Power. If there is any hope of breaking through to a Titled Douluo in the future, then the threshold for Super Douluo will be considerably weakened...
