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

Chapter 138 It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice
"Haha, of course you can, but now, I will take you to visit our Soul Guidance Department. Although compared with the Martial Soul Department, the Soul Guidance Department's foundation is very shallow, but this is only temporary."

"The reason why our Soul Guidance Department has always been suppressed by the Martial Soul Department is that there are too many unskilled people in our Soul Guidance Department, unlike the Martial Soul Department, which has so many talented students."

As she spoke, a hint of helplessness appeared on Xian Lin'er's impeccably beautiful face, but the next moment, she smiled again, looked at Luo Chen in front of her, and said:

"But that was in the past. Now that you are here, Xiaochen, I think the foundation accumulated by our Soul Guidance Department over the years should be able to be fully utilized."

"This is not only my expectation for you, but also the teacher's expectation for you..."

"Teacher? Is this the reason why Elder Mu agreed to let me switch to the Soul Guidance Department?"

Hearing Xian Lin'er's words, Luo Chen was stunned and then asked.

Xian Lin'er nodded slightly, then said:

"Teacher has high expectations for you. With your vision, how could he not see the huge potential hidden in the soul guide system? When this potential is discovered, the soul guide system may really surpass the martial soul system!"

"Everyone in the world has a misunderstanding about our Soul Guidance Department. They think that the group that the Soul Guidance Department targets should be those who have low talents and barely become soul masters. But in fact, this is not the case."

"Those are just the most basic low-level soul guides. The real goal of our soul guide department is to research soul guides and then create high-level soul guides that can greatly enhance the power of Titled Douluo or even Super Douluo!"

"This is what our Soul Guidance Department has been doing all along. As the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, I have done more research on soul guides than anyone else. Because of this, I also know more clearly how difficult it is to create a soul guide of this level."

"It can be said that as long as the soul guide device I envision can be completely researched and a prototype can be developed according to this prototype, or even manufactured. At that time, our soul guide department will completely rise."

Xian Lin'er spoke a long speech in one breath. These words had been buried in her heart for a long time, but she had no one to tell them to normally.

Right now, Xian Lin'er did not hide anything about Luo Chen, a person with terrifying talent who was a disciple valued by Master Mu. She explained the current situation of the Soul Guidance Department to him one by one.

After all, the other party wants to switch to the soul guidance department, so he must know these things. Only with a big goal can he ensure that the direction of his efforts will not deviate. Otherwise, Luo Chen will be holding a lot of knowledge and doing useless work.

After listening to Xian Lin'er's words, Luo Chen nodded to show that he understood.

To be honest, Luo Chen initially thought that Xian Lin'er would question his ability and talent. After all, he was only a twelve-year-old boy. Even if he switched from the martial soul system to the soul guidance system, it would be impossible for him to surpass the high-level soul guidance teachers who had studied the soul guidance system for a long time.

However, Luo Chen did not expect that Xian Lin'er had such high expectations for him and actually wanted him to revitalize the soul guidance system in one fell swoop. This made Luo Chen feel a little helpless.

Even though he has a photographic memory, and even the talent of being able to draw inferences from one instance and apply it to other similar situations, the path of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy is far from easy.

If he could rely on his own martial soul and Mu Lao's guidance to integrate some knowledge that should have been incomprehensible to him, then in terms of soul guidance, he was a complete blank slate.

He knew clearly in which direction the Soul Guidance Department should strive and develop, but how could it be so easy to put it into practice?
The Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy has been established for thousands of years now, and has only just developed to the stage of preliminary research and development of soul guide shells. It has not even developed some laser soul guides and barrier shield defense soul guides.

Even if Luo Chen is highly talented, it is impossible for him to create something out of nothing in a short period of time. That requires a lot of knowledge about soul guides as a foundation, plus his own understanding of soul guides, to be able to create the prototype of this kind of soul guide.

However, right now in Shrek Academy, there are only a few copies of information and research drawings about soul guides. With this superficial knowledge, can Luo Chen really research those powerful soul guides that he has imagined?

"I'll try my best, Senior Sister Lin'er. I may be a genius in martial arts, but I can't guarantee anything in soul guides. If I disappoint you and my teacher, please understand."

Luo Chen was not absolutely sure, and facing Xian Lin'er's earnest hope, he could only agree for the time being. Regardless of whether he could push the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy to the peak by himself, these high-level soul guides were what he must have.

After all, owning a high-level soul guide can greatly enhance his own strength, whether it is an offensive soul guide or a defensive soul guide.

However, Luo Chen is not in a hurry about this. There are still several years before the mainland stirs up trouble. He has enough time to lay a solid foundation, improve his own strength, and complete his plan.

Facing Luo Chen's words, Xian Lin'er smiled and nodded. She didn't intend to really put all her hopes on Luo Chen. After all, Luo Chen's power alone was limited. To revitalize the Soul Guidance System, the strength of everyone in the Soul Guidance System was needed!
"Well, Xiaochen, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just do what you can. Although the academy has high expectations for you, it doesn't want you to rush for success. Cultivation is a very long process and cannot be completed in a day or two. You must know that cultivation has no end." "These days, if you are interested, you can first look through the basic drawings and research books in the soul guide storage room. This will be of great help to you when you officially enter the soul guide department and research and make soul guides."

As Xian Lin'er spoke, she handed a shiny light blue badge to Luo Chen. There were no words engraved on the badge, only two iron hammers that looked quite eye-catching.

Luo Chen took it and looked at it, then looked at Xian Lin'er in front of him with some doubts, and asked:
"Senior Sister, what is this?"

"Hehe, since you have switched to the Soul Guidance Department, you are naturally a member of our Soul Guidance Department. This badge can only be held by the true core disciples of the Soul Guidance Department. To a certain extent, the meaning it represents is similar to that of the inner courtyard students of our academy."

"Just keep it. You have a special identity, and other things cannot be displayed in public, so I resorted to this last resort. With this badge, you will be able to walk sideways in the Soul Guidance Department in the future, and situations like today will not happen again."

Xian Lin'er showed a cunning look in her eyes as she explained to Luo Chen.

In Xian Lin'er's opinion, since Luo Chen had already accepted Master Mu's instructions to switch from the Martial Soul Department to the Soul Guidance Department, he naturally became her Soul Guidance Department disciple. In other words, she and Luo Chen were both Master Mu's direct disciples. As a senior sister, she had no way of accepting any more disciples, otherwise she would have to accept Luo Chen as her disciple!
She knew that she was not the only one who had this idea in the academy. After all, who could not be tempted by such a genius with outstanding talent and a deep understanding of etiquette?
Hearing Xian Lin'er say this, Luo Chen also smiled. He certainly understood what Xian Lin'er meant. She was planning to tie him to the Soul Guidance Department. However, he didn't care. Both the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department were in Shrek Academy. Wouldn't it be the same no matter where they went?

"Since Senior Sister said so, then Junior Brother would like to thank Senior Sister Lin'er, but does anyone else in our Soul Guidance Department have this badge?"

Since this badge represents the true core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department, then he should not be the only one holding this badge in the Soul Guidance Department. He wants to use this opportunity to get to know those talented people in the Soul Guidance Department.

Who knows, maybe these geniuses he met will be able to play an unimaginable role in his plans in the future?
However, facing Luo Chen's words, Xian Lin'er was silent for a moment, then shook her head and explained to Luo Chen:
"The standards for core disciples of the Soul Guidance Department have always been very high. First of all, they need to thoroughly learn all the basic knowledge about soul guides in their first year of the External Academy, and then polish out the prototype of a soul guide."

"Only in this way can one become a basic first-level soul guide. This is also the standard our academy has always used for judging the core disciples of the soul guide department. However, over the years, talented students have basically chosen the martial soul department, so the only ones left in our soul guide department are students with low talents."

“Therefore, even if the academy allocated more resources to our Soul Guidance Department, it would not allow such a core disciple to appear in our Soul Guidance Department. It is really difficult for a skilled cook to cook without rice…”

Xian Lin'er was also deeply helpless about this, but there was no way to change the current situation. After all, the fact was that the achievements that could be obtained by entering the martial soul system were usually higher than those of the soul guidance system, and now the mainstream on the continent is still soul masters, not soul guidance engineers.

Moreover, if one is truly a genius with exceptional talent in soul guidance, he or she would generally not choose to enter Shrek Academy. After all, Shrek Academy is the holy land of "soul masters" and the cradle of the strong.

For those geniuses who have extraordinary talents in soul guides, their first choice is almost always the Sun and Moon Royal Academy, which is now developing extremely rapidly in the field of soul guides, rather than Shrek Academy.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy could not produce a student with the talent of a core disciple.

However, from another perspective, the situation is almost the same at the Sun-Moon Royal Academy. The talented soul masters with powerful talents are basically monopolized by Shrek Academy. High-level martial souls, top-level martial souls, extremely rare alternative martial souls, and original martial souls are basically all flocking to Shrek Academy.

This is also a matter of deep frustration for the people at the Sun Moon Royal Academy. Although there are numerous talented students in the Soul Guidance Department, what about their Martial Souls?
The martial spirits of these talented students who joined the Sun-Moon Royal Academy cannot be said to be bad, but the vast majority of them are auxiliary martial spirits. Soul masters with top-level strong attack and top-level agile attack martial spirits are too rare, which has caused the Sun-Moon Royal Academy to almost completely become a soul guide academy.

There are almost no genius soul masters who can rely on their own martial souls, soul skills, and the strength of soul masters to collide head-on with soul mentors!
This is why even the talented soul masters from the Sun Moon Continent choose to enroll in Shrek Academy.

Shrek Academy's teaching of soul masters is indeed incomparable to that of the Sun-Moon Royal Academy. In terms of teacher resources and academy foundation alone, it is far ahead of the Sun-Moon Royal Academy!
However, in terms of soul guides, the Sun Moon Royal Academy is still a long way behind Shrek Academy. Unless something unexpected happens, this gap is almost impossible to make up. Not to mention the research and development drawings of soul guides, the number of soul guides alone is already two completely different levels!

In particular, most of the high-level soul engineers have entered the Sun-Moon Royal Academy, or even the Sun-Moon Empire. Just relying on the soul engineers in the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy who are only half-familiar with the field of soul guides, how can they catch up with the Sun-Moon Empire in the development of soul guides?
This is what Xian Lin'er has been worried about all along. If the situation cannot be broken, then the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy will always be in a "backward" state. Even in the future, even if high-level soul guides powerful enough to kill Titled Douluo-level masters appear, it will not be able to change this situation.

However, now, the "opportunity" to break the situation has appeared, giving Xian Lin'er some hope.

"I see. Under such circumstances, the development of the Soul Guidance Department is indeed a bit forced. However, I happen to know a junior fellow student who has a superb talent in the Soul Guidance Department. If we only talk about soul guides, perhaps I can't compare to him. I just don't know if he is in the Soul Guidance Department now..."

As Luo Chen was speaking, Xian Lin'er's eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at Luo Chen in front of her and quickly asked:

"He has a great talent in soul guides, and his achievements are even better than yours. Is that true, Xiaochen? You have to introduce him to me, Senior Sister!"

Xian Lin'er knew Luo Chen's character clearly. He was definitely not a man who would talk nonsense. Since her junior brother said so, it must be true!
