Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 251 Departure
"I originally thought you would stay at the academy for a while longer, but I didn't expect you to graduate so quickly."

At this point, Duanmu Yan sighed.

Thanks to the Battle Armor, before its appearance, Soul Masters mainly relied on Soul Power.

Under these circumstances, it is very difficult to become a Soul Saint before the age of twenty, but there are still quite a few who can reach the Soul Emperor level.

After the emergence of battle armor, the focus shifted to combat power. All geniuses wanted to study battle armor. Before the age of twenty, it was much easier to become a Soul King and acquire a one-word battle armor than a Soul Emperor, and the combat power was also higher.

However, all of this combined resulted in everyone's soul power cultivation speed becoming even more sluggish.

Duanmu Yan can be considered a minor genius. As a talent specially trained by the War God Temple, he was already a one-word battle armor master before the age of twenty. Now he is thirty-six years old, and his soul power has only just reached the Soul Douluo level.

But standing next to Lin Xingyu, he actually felt that the other party's soul power fluctuations seemed to be three points stronger than his own.

How old is he?!
Forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, he carefully examined the person in front of him.

His face still had a touch of childishness, but his aura subtly made him feel somewhat oppressed.

Lin Xingyu chuckled twice and said,
"Brother Duanmu and I are all on the same side, so I won't lie to anyone. First, there's not much room for improvement in the academy, while there's more room for improvement in the army. Second, I want to get into the department as soon as possible so I can get familiar with life there."

Duanmu Yan led Lin Xingyu deeper into the base and laughed when he heard Lin Xingyu's words.

"Then you've come to the right place. You may learn more knowledge at the academy, but in terms of practical application, you definitely won't learn as much as you do here."

As the two chatted, they passed through a series of metal doors and finally arrived at a metal room.

"Boom boom boom!"

Duanmu Yan stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times.

"Come in!"

The door opened, and inside sat a woman who looked to be in her thirties. She was quite robust and lacked feminine grace, instead exuding a masculine vigor. Her gaze was fixed on the two of them.

"Your Majesty, the person has arrived," Duanmu Yan said, bowing.

"Okay, you can leave now."

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Yan turned and left without saying a word.

Lin Xingyu then looked at the woman sitting there, Haitang Douluo, Shi Mengshan, the seventh of the eighteen War Gods of the War God Hall.

The Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul mutated directly from a pure healing-type Martial Soul into a pure poison-type Martial Soul.

It can be said to be one of a kind.

After carefully discerning the soul power fluctuations emanating from the other party, the "high-dimensional vision" allowed him to clearly sense the strength of the other party's soul power at such a close distance.

Around level 94?

In another timeline, she and Aruheng could be said to have fallen in love at first sight.

Looking at Shi Mengshan's tall figure and muscular build, Lin Xingyu felt a mix of emotions, wanting to speak but holding back, and he finally gained a thorough understanding of Aruheng's peculiarities.

Being a decade or two older isn't a big deal; even the weakest character in the Douluo world will have their lifespan greatly extended once they reach the Title Douluo level.

Shi Mengshan narrowed her eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on her face.

"I won't say anything more to you. This is a letter of recommendation from the Blood God Legion. Just take it and go directly there."

She picked up an envelope and handed it to Lin Xingyu.

"Thank you, Senior!" Lin Xingyu accepted the letter of recommendation. The destructive power of a powerful Soul Master is comparable to that of a small army. The Blood God Legion has always been strictly disciplined and occupies a very important position.

Outsiders who want to join need to provide certain guarantees.

Shi Mengshan waved her hand casually.

"No need to call me senior, just call me by my title. Within the Blood God Legion, the resources we enjoy are top-notch, but they all require certain achievements to obtain."

“This is nothing to you. There are only a handful of excellent blacksmiths on the continent. The Blood God Legion can obtain resources from the outside world, but the blacksmiths within the legion are not very skilled.”

"Once you get there, whether you're doing repairs or forging metal, you can quickly accumulate some merit points."

Lin Xingyu paused, this was a direction he hadn't considered before. Considering his rapidly increasing strength and his own needs, he was more inclined to improve himself directly through combat.

Upon careful consideration, Shi Mengshan's suggestion is quite good.

"After hearing what Your Majesty Haitang said, I am quite eager to go and see for myself."

"Once everything is ready, you can go directly. Duanmu Yan will send you the detailed map later."

"Okay, if nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to set off for the Tianjin Mountains as soon as possible."

Shi Mengshan responded, her tone becoming somewhat calmer.

"Besides the commander and deputy commander, there are nine Blood Gods in the Blood God Legion, all of whom are Title Douluo and come from various top-level forces. Among them, the legion commander and Blood God II, Blood God VIII, and Blood God IX all have some connection with the War God Temple."

"In addition, there are other Title Douluos in the legion. With your abilities, you will inevitably come into contact with them when you get there."

Lin Xingyu nodded silently. This was a way of clearly indicating his affiliation, so that he would know which side to align with when he got there.

If I remember correctly, the legion commander is Zhang Huanyun, whose title is Mingjing. Xue Er is Chen Xinjie's younger brother, and Xue Jiu is Xue Er's son. Xue Jiu is also Xue Ba's sycophant, but it seems he succeeded in getting what he wanted, so "sycophant" is no longer an appropriate term...

Although the Blood God Legion can also retire and return to their hometown after signing a confidentiality agreement.

However, most Soul Masters would stay there, which led to the emergence of one Soul Master family after another within the legion.

The descendants of Soul Masters are mostly Soul Masters themselves. In addition, they have a clean background, are of good character, and have good talent. The Blood God Legion can be said to tacitly approve of this behavior, or even agree with it.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Mengshan added.

“The creatures of the abyss are quite dangerous. Once you get there, don’t rush to the front lines. You can make better use of your talent in forging, do some logistical work, and observe the situation further.”

"Many Soul Masters who have just arrived there suffer the most losses in their first encounter with the opponent."

This is because I'm afraid of going up there without knowing anything and getting myself killed. Do you think I'm that stupid? I can't even do basic intelligence gathering.

Although he inwardly complained, Lin Xingyu understood the other party's good intentions and replied, "Understood!"

Shi Mengshan nodded with some satisfaction. Regardless of whether the other person listened or not, the harsh environment there would teach him important life lessons.

"Don't embarrass yourself!"

……

Driving the Soul Guide Vehicle, Lin Xingyu set off from Mingdu along the highway, heading west and traversing the Sun and Moon Mountains.

Although it can fly, the comfort of driving a Soul Guided Car is completely different.

The Tianjin Mountains are located in the westernmost part of the entire continent, and it basically requires crossing the entire continent.
