Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 247 The plan begins

Having calmed his shock, Wu Changkong asked thoughtfully, "What level is your soul power now?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xingyu answered truthfully: "Level 74. The deep meditation inside the Golden Tree is quite effective. It raised my level by more than two levels in one go."

Level 74.

Wu Changkong couldn't help but recall it repeatedly in his mind. If he remembered correctly, it was about a year and a half ago, when he was on the Star Luo Continent.

Lin Xingyu had just broken through to Soul Emperor at that time, and now he was at level fourteen after a year and a half. Even though the secret chamber carved out of the Golden Ancient Tree allowed people to get close to the laws, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was the most abundant, in addition, the Soul Saint had fused with a new soul spirit, bringing level one soul power.

It took about a month to advance one level, which is alarmingly fast no matter how you look at it.

Under normal circumstances, a Soul Emperor's level can only maintain a level increase every three months, which is already the result of various fortunate opportunities.

Thinking of this, even Wu Changkong couldn't help but twitch his lips.

too fast!
Wu Changkong couldn't help but advise, "When you go out, try to keep a low profile. Your rate of improvement will easily make others think you're an evil soul master. Also, although there are many pills that can increase soul power without much side effect, soul masters still need to gain insights before they reach the Soul Saint level."

Lin Xingyu noticed the change in Wu Changkong's tone and expression, and realized he had taken too many drugs...

After hesitating for a moment, I decided to explain to Wu Changkong.

"I previously fused with a set of soul bones from the Body Sect, which brought about some improvement in soul power."

While somewhat bewildered, a faint sense of disappointment also surfaced in Wu Changkong's heart.

Lin Xingyu had always been one of his most valued students, and while he was still hesitating, Lin Xingyu had already joined the Body Sect.

He originally had a sliver of hope that he could keep the other party at Shrek Academy, since the Body Sect had ultimately declined.

Now that the entire set of soul bones has been used, according to Wu Changkong's estimate, they are all at least ten thousand years old.

With the advent of battle armor in this era, the value of soul bones has decreased somewhat, but they are still an extremely expensive resource.

"You don't need the graduation exam for the outer academy. You've already met the graduation requirements. I'll arrange for you to enter the inner academy..."

"Teacher Wu, I don't plan to study in the inner academy anymore. I plan to join the army directly," Lin Xingyu interrupted Wu Changkong.

Wu Changkong, who had always remained calm even when faced with a collapsing mountain, finally showed a clear change in expression at this moment.

After a long while, Wu Changkong finally asked, "Why?"

“I’ve always wanted to join the army since I was a child. It’s been my dream all along. Originally, I planned to go after graduating from the inner court, but with my current abilities, I can go directly into the army.”

Lin Xingyu spoke with great passion, his expression fervent, as if he were sacrificing himself for his country.

Despite the large number of Title Douluos on the mainland, it seems that only those who reach the Limit Douluo level can truly wield power.

However, Soul Masters are ultimately a minority. In a time when everyone can awaken their Martial Soul, only a few possess Soul Power, and most people will never even reach the Soul Saint realm in their entire lives.

In some smaller cities, even a Soul Emperor is considered a top-tier figure.

While a Soul Saint might not be considered a top-tier high-ranking member of the military, he would at least be considered a high-ranking figure.

After hearing Lin Xingyu's reason and seeing his performance, Wu Changkong remained silent for a moment.

I wouldn't say I nurtured you from a young age, but you've been around me ever since you were nine.

Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are?

People aren't stupid, and they're not that loyal to the Union.

Now they act as if they've completely sacrificed themselves for others, as if they've occupied the moral high ground.

Do you think I believe you or not? Don't make your dance teacher laugh!

"to be frank!"

"My martial spirit attributes are what they are, and my future path has long been determined. Although the inner courtyard has a good environment, and even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the best in the entire continent, the most suitable place for my martial spirit to improve is the army!"

"This comfortable environment within the academy may suit others, but it's not suitable for me."

After hearing Lin Xingyu's reason, Wu Changkong nodded in agreement.

This is right.

Her icy blue eyes stared straight at Lin Xingyu.

The temperature in the air had unknowingly dropped to an extremely low level.

With each breath, the white mist condensed into ice. In an instant, the entire room was plunged into winter.

A biting, cold wind blew in my face.

Lin Xing raised an eyebrow and took half a step back.

Flames erupted around them, unleashing a fierce and murderous aura.

The room temperature, which had cooled down, was instantly raised again.

But it was filled with a chilling aura that penetrated the mind, its sharp edge fully revealed.

After a brief clash of their auras, Wu Changkong's chilling aura stopped a foot in front of Lin Xingyu.

As time passed, no matter how much Wu Changkong improved his mental strength, it was as if he were facing an impenetrable wall, which he could not budge an inch.

a long time.

Wu Changkong slowly withdrew his aura and spiritual power.

"That's right, the army is indeed the most suitable place for you. It's definitely better for you to go there than stay in the academy. No matter how strong the simulated training environment established by the academy is, it is limited by space, and the boost it brings you is not as great as that of the battlefield."

Wu Changkong paused for a moment before continuing, "However, I suggest you retain your inner court status for now. The academy offers many benefits specifically for inner court disciples."

Wu Changkong was still somewhat reluctant to let them leave so easily. He wanted to train some outstanding students for the academy to make up for some of his mistakes from back then.

Since Lin Xingyu was already destined to leave, he still wanted to try his best to keep him there and leave behind a lasting connection.

"As for the issues with the academy, I'll find a way to resolve them for you. You just need to..."

Just as he finished speaking, Wu Changkong suddenly looked up in the direction of Seagod Island.

The surging primordial energy of heaven and earth directly stirred up a massive energy tide on Seagod Island.

"Go and gather the students from the outer academy to appease them," Wu Changkong said, then walked directly out of the room.

Lin Xingyu also turned to look in the direction of Poseidon Island. Although he had expected it, he did not expect it to arrive so quickly.

'Is this a way of bestowing the title of Child of Nature upon Tang Wulin?'

Tang Hao and Ah Yin's current status is unknown, but they are the true controllers of the Douluo Continent. As their only grandson, Tang Wulin faces no obstacles in becoming the Child of Nature.

The Douluo Continent is about to be completely devoured. When the Golden Tree falls in the future, the identity of the Child of Nature will naturally fall to Tang Wulin.
