Douluo III: Legend of the Dragon Phoenix

The task of meeting these people was entirely left to Di Tian. Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na continued living their lives as students. The fifth floor of the Library was not easy to enter. Each time required the presence of Dean Xu Lin and four other Council members. There were no guards on the fifth floor of the Library, just a heavy metal door. It was said that even a Limit Douluo couldn't easily break through this door. Not only the door, but even the walls were made of special metal, capable of withstanding the attack of a ninth-grade fixed-caliber Soul Tool cannonball. Dean Xu Lin and the four other Council members each took out a key and inserted them into the five keyholes beside the door. They twisted them simultaneously, and the heavy door slowly moved aside. This was the tenth day Yun Ze had entered this fifth floor. There was no need for the Dean to explain anything further. Once the door opened, he simply walked in. Xu Lin and the five others stood outside the door. After Yun Ze entered, they twisted the keys back, and the door slowly closed. The fifth floor required all five of them to be present to open it, but they could only open it. Without the approval of the Academy Council, they couldn't enter freely. "Let's go," Xu Lin said, leading the four Council members away. They would return at one in the afternoon when Yun Ze was ready to come out. The space on the fifth floor was very spacious. There were no bookshelves, no paper books, only a metal table and a chair in the center. On the metal table, there was a tilted Soul Tool screen, thirty units long and twenty units wide. The moment Yun Ze entered, the screen automatically lit up. In a room of nearly a thousand square meters, this was all there was. The layout was incredibly simple. Without special instructions, no one would ever think this was a library.

This was Yun Ze's tenth day here. He sat down on the chair very familiarly and placed his palm on the dark green hand-shaped area of the Soul Tool screen. Inside the screen, a straight beam of light scanned up and down. The dark green hand shape lit up. The moment it was fully illuminated, a mechanical prompt sounded: "Identity confirmed. Yun Ze, welcome to the Intelligent Library."

After the sound fell, the image on the Soul Tool screen instantly changed. Five options appeared: Soul Tools, Mecha, Soul Master, Battle Armor, Records. The text for the five options was within red boxes, and the background color of the screen was white. The overall design was simple and not flashy. Yun Ze clicked on Soul Tools, which he had been studying for the past ten days. After clicking in, a list of book titles quickly appeared, sorted from top to bottom. There were a total of fifty-eight books. The number wasn't large, but each one was incredibly precious, all related to ninth-grade Soul Tools. Books detailing the manufacturing methods of powerful Soul Tools like ninth-grade fixed-caliber Soul Tool cannonballs, ninth-grade array Soul Tools, and the ninth-grade Eye of Fear were all described in detail. In addition to ninth-grade Soul Tools, there was one book that covered even more advanced tenth-grade and twelfth-grade Soul Tools. Yun Ze's first read was this book covering tenth-grade and twelfth-grade Soul Tools, which he finished in less than a day. To be precise, it took him five hours. He usually stayed inside for five hours before leaving, and would only come back the next day.

This book, to put it plainly, was a research manuscript on tenth-grade and twelfth-grade Soul Tools, not a detailed manufacturing method. After reading the book, his gain was an increase in knowledge, learning about the three fixed-caliber Soul Tool cannonballs that were hailed as God-Slaying Weapons. The specific manufacturing methods for those cannonballs were likely stored in the Federation Research Institute. The content covered here was very limited.

He clicked on the book ranked third. This equipment was very intelligent. The page number displayed was the one hundred and sixty-fifth page he had read yesterday. He continued reading from yesterday's content. After finishing a page, he gently touched the lower right corner of the screen, and the page automatically turned to the next. This small Soul Tool screen was full of technology, jointly created by the Sun Moon Royal Academy and the Federation Research Institute. It contained the most important part of the Sun Moon Royal Academy's book data, using a special storage method to prevent data leakage to the greatest extent. Yun Ze read until one in the afternoon. As soon as the agreed time arrived, Xu Lin brought the four Council members to open the door.

After leaving the Library and going downstairs, he saw Gu Yue Na, who had been waiting there for a long time. The latter smiled and walked over.

"I'm level forty-two. I want to celebrate after breaking through. Can you accompany me to the Sun Moon Hotel outside the academy for dinner?"

Gu Yue Na asked with her hands behind her back, her voice cheerful, sharing her joy with Yun Ze. As she spoke, she looked at him with anticipation in her eyes, like a little girl seeking praise.

Due to her transformation, her breakthrough had basically no bottlenecks. During class today, she naturally broke through her Soul Power while attending the lesson.

Yun Ze looked up at Gu Yue Na, then naturally shifted his gaze away, nodding and saying, "Let's go."

Seeing Yun Ze agree, Gu Yue Na smiled brightly, her steps becoming lighter. She walked towards the academy gate with Yun Ze.

"You don't seem surprised at all by my breakthrough?"

"What's there to be surprised about? Isn't breaking through a very normal thing?"

"Uh..."

Time flew by, and five months passed in the blink of an eye.

During these five months, the sensation caused by the auction gradually subsided, no longer a topic of conversation after meals, only occasionally mentioned.

The popularity of the Dragon Phoenix Hall also decreased somewhat, but it remained strong. People from all over the continent came every day to buy elixirs, and business was good.

The One Year Longevity Pill, priced at five hundred million per pill, was always in short supply, causing many people to scramble for it. Often, within a minute of opening, it would be completely sold out.

The sales of Foundation Establishment Pills and Breakthrough Pills decreased. Among them, the decrease in Foundation Establishment Pills was smaller. No young Soul Master didn't want elixirs that could increase Innate Soul Power. It was just that many people couldn't afford them due to financial constraints, which led to the decrease in sales.

The revenue of the Dragon Phoenix Hall also decreased from nearly six billion per day in the first half of the month to around four billion. It was now basically stable, with little fluctuation in income.

Reports about the daily revenue of the Dragon Phoenix Hall had been flying around four months ago, and those numbers had scared quite a few people.

Even major powers like Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and Spirit Transfer Pagoda were a bit envious. This Dragon Phoenix Hall was simply too profitable, ridiculously fast.

Many forces, including them, had considered cracking the elixir formulas and refining and selling them themselves.

They all wanted a piece of such a large cake, but they all failed. No force was able to crack the elixir formulas.

Unable to crack them, some people started thinking about poaching the alchemists of the Dragon Phoenix Hall, sending people to infiltrate the Dragon Phoenix Hall to steal techniques. Even some extreme individuals, driven by malice, snuck into the Dragon Phoenix Hall at night, wanting to abduct a few alchemists to obtain the formulas.

All these attempts ended in failure.

The alchemists responsible for the Medicine King Pavilion were all transformed Emerald Swans. There were no human alchemists at all, so how could they be poached? The Dragon Phoenix Hall had already accumulated astonishing wealth, but it had never expanded or hired people, giving them no opportunity to infiltrate.

As for the infiltrator who had the audacity, his Titled Douluo cultivation and Martial Soul were crippled, and he was hung on the roof of the Dragon Phoenix Hall for three days.

This was an Evil Soul Master. There was no need to interrogate him to know which force he came from. After being hung for three days to serve as a deterrent, he was handed over to the Federation Police Department, doing them a favor.
