Chapter 239 The Social Order Constructed by Lin Uan

"It's quite powerful! I'm afraid that if an ordinary Soul King took it, he would basically have no power to resist and would be left to die. Only a defensive Soul King like Senior Xu Sanshi could block it head-on, but he would have to pay a heavy price. Hehe, and it's also very accurate. Compared with normal soul guide rays, it's completely different. It seems that the mental targeting module I added is quite useful!"

Huo Yuzhe chuckled and exclaimed in admiration.

He Caitou looked distressed: "But the energy is consumed too quickly."

"After just one shot, I've already used up one-tenth of my energy. If I fire a few more, I'm afraid I won't be able to move. A rough estimate is that the soul propulsion nozzles on my feet can burst out at a speed comparable to that of a Soul King of the Agility Attack type. Although the consumption is high, the advantage is that it doesn't consume my own soul power. I only need to recharge in advance, which is equivalent to a second life. Lin You, your idea is brilliant. You actually came up with a way to separate soul power and soul guides."

Speaking of this, He Caitou's eyes lit up.

Although there have always been charging soul guides such as milk bottles to replenish the soul power of soul masters, this is the first time he has seen it actually used in soul guide armor. Any previous soul guide device requires a soul master to use it, and fixed-install soul guide devices are no exception. This soul guide armor is really a genius idea.

Afterwards, the three of them tested the speed. Almost instantly, the mecha turned into an afterimage on the spot. The afterimage gradually dissipated and appeared at the other end. The speed was so fast that it even gave people a dazzling effect.

"The straight-line acceleration is within a few tenths of a second, so fast, and there's no lag at all when turning corners, and the change of direction is effortless. Lin You is amazing."

"But I'm very curious, Lin Youyuzhen, with the strength of both of you, you shouldn't really need this armor that can improve a person's overall strength to around the fifth ring, right?" He Caitou couldn't help but ask.

The strength of a soul engineer lies in his terrifying explosive power. Once He Caitou completely unleashes his firepower, even a soul emperor will be suppressed by him before his soul power is exhausted. This is determined by his personal positioning, not that his strength has reached this level.

If he were to encounter Xu Sanshi, who had six rings, his firepower would be silenced by a move of Xuanming Replacement, and a soul guide that could not hit anyone would be meaningless. Therefore, the strength of a soul master lies in the overall strength, and the soul guide only has a greatly specialized amplification in the direction of attack.

Faced with He Caitou's question, Lin You pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Brother He, if this armor overcomes the energy requirement and becomes a war machine that even ordinary people can control, what do you think are the advantages that soul masters have over ordinary people?"

This question immediately stumped He Caitou.

He pondered for a moment, frowning. He felt that no matter how he spoke, it was a bit strange. After thinking about it, he decided to give up and said, "I don't know."

He Caitou answered honestly. He really couldn't understand. The gap between soul masters and ordinary people was too huge. How could they be compared?
Lin Yu smiled and did not answer directly, but continued: "Brother He, have you ever thought that the growth cycle of a soul master is actually very long?"

"How long would it take for an ordinary person to awaken their martial spirit at the age of six and start training to become a qualified spirit master who can stand on his own?"

He Caitou thought for a moment and said, "It depends on talent and resources. Elite students like us at Shrek Academy might reach the Soul Sect level by the age of fifteen or sixteen and possess a certain level of combat effectiveness. But for ordinary Soul Masters, it will probably take around twenty-five to become a Soul Lord, barely enough to be considered capable of standing on their own."

"Yes, twenty-five years."

Lin Yu nodded, "This is assuming there are sufficient resources. If there aren't enough resources, it will take even longer. The age of the spirit ring, the knowledge reserves, whether there are teachers to guide the way, etc. are all indispensable."

"Besides, the number of soul masters is really too small."

Lin You stretched out a finger and gestured: "How many people are there in the entire Douluo Continent? How many spirit masters are there? This ratio is probably less than one in ten thousand, right?"

He Caitou was silent.

He knew that what Lin Yuan said was true. The number of soul masters was indeed pitifully small compared to the huge population base.

"So, my idea is, if we can develop a war machine that even ordinary people can control, just like the soul guide armor we are making now..."

Lin You pointed at the "Unit-01" standing nearby, his eyes gleaming:

"Then, we can train a large number of 'warriors' in a short period of time. They don't need to spend ten or twenty years training like spirit masters. With just simple training, they can control these war machines and form a powerful fighting force."

"In this way, we can have the combat power of millions or even tens of millions of 'Soul Masters'!" Lin Yuan's voice was filled with excitement and longing.

He Caitou was stunned when he heard this. He was completely shocked by Lin You's idea.

A million-level soul master? This... this is simply a fantasy!

If this can really be realized, it will have a huge impact on the entire continent's structure!
He could even imagine what a devastating scene it would be when millions of such soul-guided armors appeared on the battlefield.

"This...how is this possible?" He Caitou's voice was trembling.

"Why isn't it possible?"

Lin Yuan asked in return, "The development of soul guides was originally intended to allow ordinary people to possess powerful strength."

"What we are doing now is just taking this concept a step further."

"And..." Lin You paused and continued, "To deal with the evil Sun Moon Empire, we must win over all the forces we can."

“Ordinary people are also a force that cannot be ignored.”

"Although they don't have soul power, they have the advantage of numbers, wisdom, and creativity."

"Give them a chance and they too can become powerful warriors."

Lin You looked at He Caitou and said seriously, "Moreover, this kind of war machine can only play its greatest role in the hands of ordinary people."

"Because only ordinary people will truly rely on it and need it. If you are an ordinary person, I will give you a chance to possess the power of a soul master. The price is to be loyal to me. Are you willing?"

He Caitou hesitated. To be fair, the temptation was indeed very strong.

"What if you still harbor hatred and need strength?" Lin Yuan guided him.

"Forget loyalty, I would not hesitate even if it means falling into the abyss," He Caitou said seriously.

"So, that's right. For a soul master, this soul guide armor is just a tool that adds icing on the cake."

"more importantly……"

Lin You's eyes grew deeper. "This kind of war machine is easy to manage."

"Ordinary people only have combat effectiveness when they are in mechas. Once they are out of mechas, they are no different from ordinary people."

"This way, we can effectively control this force."

He Caitou felt a surge of emotion in his heart when he heard Lin You's words.

He suddenly understood Lin You's intention.

Lin You is not only developing a powerful war machine, but also building a new social order!

A more stable, harmonious and powerful social order based on ordinary people and centered on soul guide technology!
