Douluo: I am an evil soul master, working from nine to five in the Tang Sect

Chapter 134 Soul Guidance System

The outer courtyard of Shrek Academy.

After Luo Chen entered the depths of the ancient golden tree for a deep retreat, the assessment of freshmen in the outer courtyard had already reached its final stage, and there were only a few games left before the final.

Although Luo Chen was not sure how many teams had qualified from his freshman class nine, he had no doubt whether Taian could make it to the semi-finals.

Not only does he possess the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul, he is also equipped with a thousand-year soul ring. His own strength is no longer comparable to that of an ordinary three-ring soul master. Therefore, Luo Chen concluded that even if the other members of the Taian team are of average strength, he can still squeeze into the top four with his own strength alone!

However, according to Luo Chen's impression of how much importance Mu Jin attached to the assessment of this year's freshmen, it is very likely that they will make another preparation before the competition begins.

So many days have passed, and as a teacher at Shrek Academy, Mu Jin must have already known the overall level of this year's freshmen. In this case, Mu Jin would certainly understand.

It is definitely impossible to send the seed team of Class 9 with Ning Tian as the core and the seed team with Taian as the core into the top four in this year's freshman assessment.

After all, apart from Tai'an and Ning Tian, ​​two students whose own strength can rival that of Soul Masters, or who are already Soul Masters, there are also two powerful teams whose own strength and overall team strength should not be underestimated.

Compared with these two teams, even the team where Ning Tian is in, who has extremely tacit communication and cooperation, or the team where Tai'an is in, who has extremely strong individual strength, have their own shortcomings, that is, the lack of overall strength.

Especially this year's freshman assessment did not go as Mu Jin had expected at the beginning. Luo Chen, who was supposed to be one of the core members of Class 9, was taken away by the college's top management just a short while after the start of the school year, which seriously affected Mu Jin's initial plan.

If the two offensive students Wu Feng and Tai An were taken away by the academy from Class Nine, Mu Jin might not have felt so aggrieved. After all, as the ace, Luo Chen, whose strength was even stronger than that of the Three-Ring Soul Master, was still there.

Coupled with the top auxiliary soul master Ning Tian, ​​who not only has his own cultivation level at the three-ring soul master realm, but also possesses the continent's top auxiliary martial soul, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda. With these two trump cards, it is almost impossible for the freshman class nine to fail to make it into the top four, and even the championship is a foregone conclusion!

But as luck would have it, the one who left was Luo Chen, the trump card. Although the strength of Ning Tian and others was enough to stand out from the crowd in this year's freshman assessment, facing the direct descendants of the so-called White Tiger Duke's Mansion and the Nether Spirit Cat Family, even with Ning Tian, ​​the three-ringed soul master, they might not be able to resist.

Although Ning Tian is also a three-ring soul master whose strength and qualifications are at the top genius level, in the final analysis, she is just an auxiliary soul master.

If Wu Feng, a powerful attacking soul master with a red dragon martial soul, cannot advance to the three-ring soul master realm, then he will never be able to match a true powerful attacking soul master.

Even with the assistance of Ning Tian's soul skills, Wu Feng, who was only a second-ring great soul master, would find it difficult to go head-on with a strong attacking soul master at the third-ring soul master level.

A strong attacking Soul Master with the cultivation level of a three-ring Soul Master has a strength that is almost the best in any previous freshman assessment. Being able to cultivate to the level of a three-ring Soul Master at the age of a first-year in the outer courtyard has far exceeded the definition of Shrek Academy for core disciples.

Generally speaking, students who are able to cultivate to the level of a high-level second-ring great soul master, that is, a twenty-seventh-level soul power cultivation level, by the time the outer school freshman assessment begins, their own talents are already considered top-notch in the outer school of Shrek Academy.

However, in the previous years of Shrek Academy's freshman assessment, there were only a handful of students with such talent. Among these talented students, it would be a surprise if a student at the three-ring Soul Master level could emerge.

However, in this year's freshman assessment, the number of talented students who far exceeded the standards of core disciples was more than all the previous core disciples combined!
This is also the reason why this year's freshman assessment was able to attract Shrek Academy's Dean of Studies Du Weilun and even the Dean Yan Shaozhe to stop and watch the competition.

Among this class of freshmen, the number of talented students has exceeded the expectations of the academy's top management, and the performance of each talented student in the freshman assessment has far exceeded Shrek Academy's definition of a core disciple.

After leaving Poseidon Island and returning to the outer courtyard, Luo Chen did not go directly back to Class Nine of the Freshman Class, but instead went to the teaching building of the Soul Guidance Department of the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy as soon as possible.

For Luo Chen, the current freshman assessment is of no significance to him. At most, in the final competition for the championship, he will follow the academy's instructions and test the specific strength of the two best teams in this year's freshman assessment.

However, in Luo Chen's opinion, there is nothing good to test. Although the current situation seems to be a competition among multiple parties, it is actually just a contest of hard power between two teams possessing martial soul fusion skills.

Huo Yuhao’s current level is far beyond what it was when Luo Chen first met him. Especially after the awakening of the Holy Death God, the Undead Scourge Alex, Huo Yuhao’s own strength has far surpassed that of ordinary outer school students.

With a spiritual power cultivation level far beyond his own realm, not to mention three-ring soul masters like Ning Tian and Dai Huabin, even Tai'an, who possesses the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul and can suppress the four-ring soul masters with the cultivation level of a second-ring great soul master, may not be able to retreat calmly at his hands.

It is precisely because of this that Luo Chen is not completely sure about the two teams that will make it to the final two to compete for the championship in this year's freshman assessment.

Due to his arrival, some original things have changed, resulting in too many uncertain factors at present. Even if he can analyze with a God's perspective, he dare not guarantee which two teams will win the final victory. After all, who doesn't have a trump card?
Along the way, Luo Chen didn't see any familiar faces. At this critical juncture, the few people he knew should be doing pre-match training for the last few games.

Soon, Luo Chen followed the route in his memory and arrived in front of a huge gray teaching building. This teaching building, which was shimmering with a light gray metallic luster, was where the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy was located. Soul masters on the mainland had always had a misunderstanding about Shrek Academy, that is, they thought that Shrek Academy had always only focused on the development of martial souls, and not soul guides. In fact, this was wrong.

On the contrary, Shrek Academy attaches far more importance to soul guides than those academies that focus on soul guides, because today is different from the past.

If Douluo Continent had not yet collided with Sun Moon Continent thousands of years ago, then Shrek Academy might still be adhering to the idea that martial spirits and soul masters are supreme.

However, ever since the major empires of Douluo Continent, including Shrek Academy, went to war with the Sun Moon Empire on the Sun Moon Continent, the soul masters on Douluo Continent have realized the power and terror of soul guides.

An ordinary third-level soul guide device, in the hands of an officer with the cultivation level of a three-ring soul master, can exert a terrifying power comparable to that of a five-ring soul king. You have to know that this is on the battlefield!
Most of the soldiers on the battlefield only rely on the most basic standard weapons to fight. They are just ordinary people, or ordinary soul masters of the first or second ring cultivation, who are just a little stronger in physical fitness.

In the past, such a fully-dressed and well-equipped imperial army could easily crush any force. However, after fighting with the Sun-Moon Empire, the armies of the major empires on the Douluo Continent were defeated one after another!

The problem lies precisely in this soul guide. There are naturally many officers with the cultivation level of a three-ring soul master in the army of the Douluo Continent Empire, but even for a three-ring soul master, the damage he can cause on the battlefield with all his strength is very limited.

However, the strength that a three-ring soul master equipped with a third-level soul guide can exert is a qualitative increase compared to an ordinary three-ring soul master, and the impact that can be caused is also completely different.

Especially on the battlefield, among a group of soldiers who are just ordinary people or low-level soul masters, just firing a third-level fixed-type soul guide shell can instantly consume the lives of dozens of ordinary soldiers on the battlefield.

Even a three-ringed Soul Master of the same realm as himself cannot withstand the terrifying power of the third-level fixed-type soul guide shells fired by a Soul Master of the same level in this ever-changing battlefield. Even if he resists it, he will definitely be seriously injured!

This is just the impact that a Soul Master with three rings of cultivation can have on the battle situation after using a soul guide of the same level as himself.

This situation becomes even more obvious in the confrontation between high-level soul masters, that is, the first-tier strong men of the major empires.

The nine-ring Titled Douluo who should have crushed the eight-ring Soul Douluo was actually at a disadvantage in the duel when facing a Soul Douluo equipped with several eighth-level soul guides!
This is just an Eight-ring Soul Douluo who has just broken through not long ago. Relying on the power of the soul guide equipped with him, he is able to compete with the Titled Douluo-level powerhouses who are enshrined by several major empires on the Douluo Continent!
This situation was beyond the expectations of all the strong men on the Douluo Continent when the Douluo Continent and the Sun-Moon Continent collided. No one could have imagined that the soul masters on another continent had already developed soul guides to such a level and possessed such powerful power.

Soul guides were something that the soul masters on Douluo Continent had always heard of before. After all, over the years, there were quite a few soul masters or residents who came to Douluo Continent from the Sun and Moon Continent.

However, it was not until he actually fought with the opponent that he truly understood the terrifying power of the soul guide. It was able to allow an eight-ring level Soul Douluo to forcibly compete with a nine-ring level Titled Douluo, and even had the upper hand at one point!
This is a groundbreaking thing in the eyes of the indigenous people of Douluo Continent, who have always regarded soul masters as the main path!

In Douluo Continent, for an ordinary person, whether he can have a future depends entirely on his innate awakened martial soul and soul power. If the martial soul is of poor quality or even has no soul power, then it means that he can only be a commoner in this life.

After all, among all the professions on Douluo Continent, soul masters are the most well-known and possess the highest status and the highest power. For others who cannot become soul masters, the only way out is naturally to enter the empire and become a soldier.

However, on the Sun-Moon Continent, this phenomenon is much less common than on the Douluo Continent. Even ordinary people who do not have the qualifications to become soul masters can still live a prosperous life on the continent.

Because what the common people on the Sun-Moon Continent care about most is not just whether they can become soul masters, but also their talent in soul guidance.

If you do not have the potential to become a powerful soul master, you can also take another path, which is to become a soul instructor through learning.

This is also the biggest factor that enables the Sun Moon Empire of the Sun Moon Continent to suppress the several major empires of the Douluo Continent in their battles.

In Douluo Continent, those who cannot become soul masters or those who are not talented enough can only engage in low-level professions throughout their lives. However, it is different in Sun-Moon Continent. In the eyes of the Sun-Moon Empire, which uses soul guides as its main path.

Every soul master who possesses soul power and can practice, regardless of his or her talent, is qualified to become a soul instructor. With the simplest guidance and learning, he or she can grow into a qualified soul instructor through accumulation and training, and accumulate foundation for the empire.

And the facts have proved that the Sun-Moon Empire's approach was indeed not wrong. For those soul masters with low talent in cultivation, learning the knowledge in the field of soul guides and becoming a soul guide can undoubtedly greatly improve the upper limit of what they can achieve.

Although Douluo Continent ultimately won the battle between the Sun-Moon Continent and Douluo Continent, everyone knows that the soul guide device pioneered by the Sun-Moon Continent is only just beginning to show its potential.

The Douluo Continent has accumulated experience for tens of thousands of years, which is why it has the current foundation and strength in the field of soul masters. The Sun-Moon Continent has only developed in the field of soul guides for a few thousand years, but has achieved such results.

This already illustrates the problem.
