Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 268 Attacking the Heart
"Teacher Lin, the regimental commander would like to invite you to the camp for a chat."

As one of the guardians of the Sun Moon Empire, most of the Soul Masters in the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps are women, but their training is no easier than that of other Soul Masters.

Before dawn, the sounds of training could already be heard outside, and the officer from yesterday had knocked on Lin Xiao's courtyard gate early in the morning.

"Sorry to disturb Teacher Lin's rest." The officer spoke again as Lin Xiao opened the courtyard gate.

"It's okay, let's go."

"Hmm." The officer nodded and led Lin Xiao into the military camp, with several soldiers following on either side.

Every now and then, several figures would fly by in formation in the air. They seemed to know each other quite well, and their speeds were similar, as if they were a single entity.

Lin Xiao glanced up slightly and could vaguely sense the fluctuations of the array of soul tools on their bodies.

"Teacher Lin, those are our soldiers training." The officer saw Lin Xiao's gaze and took the initiative to explain.

"Among the four Beast King-level Soul Master Corps, our Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps is the most skilled in aerial combat. Every Soul Master must be proficient in flying Soul Guidance Devices and Soul Guidance Propulsion Devices, and must be able to form a Soul Guidance Formation in the air."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly upon hearing this. The four Beast King-level Soul Master Corps each had their own strengths, some specializing in speed and others in firepower suppression. He had only heard that the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps was mostly composed of female Soul Masters before, but this was the first time he had heard that they were capable of forming a Soul Guidance Formation in the air.

For a pure Soul Master, without a Martial Soul capable of flight, only those whose Soul Power reaches the Soul Saint level can briefly remain in the air.

This Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps may not be outstanding in terms of firepower, but it is enough to suppress the Soul Master Corps, which cannot fly, so much so that they cannot raise their heads.

"Our camp is just ahead. Please don't mention anything about the camp to outsiders, Teacher Lin."

"Don't worry, I know all that."

The city where the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Corps was located was only for guarding the border and had no ordinary people living there. It was not large in area, and they soon arrived at the military camp.

However, as soon as Lin Xiao stepped into the military camp warehouse, he saw a dense array of everyday soul tools, such as the soul tools for heating he had seen before, a large number of lighting soul tools, and various other things to make life easier for ordinary people.

Some soldiers were inspecting the soul-guided devices placed here, but there weren't many weapons that were actually lethal.

"these are……"

"Captain!"

Before Lin Xiao could ask, Ju Zi appeared as well. "This is Teacher Lin from Mingde Hall. You can ask Teacher Lin any questions you encounter during the preparation process."

"Yes!"

After introducing Lin Xiao, Ju Zi took two steps forward, her gaze sweeping over a large number of life-related soul tools stored there.

"Isn't that weird?"

“There are some.” Lin Xiao suddenly paused, “but I have a rough idea of ​​what these soul tools are for.”

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi turned her head and glanced at her. "What did you guess?"

"These aren't for the soldiers in the barracks, are they?"

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Then who do you think this is for?"

Lin Xiao also stopped, glanced around, and recalled something in his mind, "These soul tools should be prepared for the people of the three great empires." "The soul tool level of the three great empires is far inferior to that of the Sun Moon Empire. You want to take advantage of the opportunity to promote these soul tools after you conquer the cities of the three great empires. Once ordinary people get used to these convenient soul tools, their resistance to the Sun Moon Empire will probably not be so strong."

Orange's expression changed slightly, as if she hadn't expected Lin Xiao to see through her plan so quickly. After a moment of silence, she nodded gently.

"You're right, I do have that plan. So what do you think my chances of success are?"

"I'm afraid it won't be too low." Lin Xiao shook his head. "When I came back this time, I passed through the Heavenly Soul Empire, and there were indeed very few soul tools there."

Orange didn't continue on this topic and stepped forward again. "If a great war breaks out, how long do you think it will take for the Sun Moon Empire to completely unify the entire continent?"

"do not know."

"You don't even know that you were the one who single-handedly propelled Mingde Hall's soul-guided devices to such a high level of progress?"

Hearing what Ju Zi said, Lin Xiao turned her head slightly and glanced at her, "What do you mean by that?"

"Over the past year, Mingde Hall has delivered various advanced soul tools, all of which are said to be made of brand new materials."

“I remember back when we were at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, I saw something strange on your lab table. You said it was the product of your failed experiment.”

"So, the new material circulating in Mingde Hall now is the product of your successful experiment, right?" Although Orange was guessing, it was almost certainly true. "Besides, why did Mingde Hall keep you as a researcher right after you graduated?"

Lin Xiao smiled, somewhat surprised that Ju Zi could guess these things from so long ago. "That wasn't something I could do alone; it was the product of the entire Mingdetang's successful experiment."

Lin Xiao began to understand why the Sun Moon Empire could detect even the traces of Title Douluos, and why some research results would even appear ahead of schedule.

It now appears that his influence on the Sun Moon Empire has exceeded his expectations.

"Commander, everything is ready."

Just as Lin Xiao and Ju Zi were talking, another soldier came over and reported.

"Hmm." Ju Zi nodded, then turned to look at Lin Xiao beside her. "Let's go. The real need for your guidance, as a researcher from Mingde Hall, is still ahead."

Lin Xiao's expression turned solemn, and with a thought, a phantom that ordinary people could not see appeared beside him.

Although he was a researcher at Mingde Hall, he didn't know much about the Soul Master Legion. In comparison, Fengshen, a level nine Soul Master, was more qualified to give guidance.

On the square outside the military camp, all the Soul Masters in charge of combat of the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps had assembled. Their faces were covered by fiery red armor, and a strong sense of killing intent permeated the military formation.

Although they are invisible and elusive, the aura they exude, akin to having survived life-or-death battles, would likely instill fear in some timid individuals simply by seeing them.

"let's start."

At Orange's command, the entire team took to the air as if they had rehearsed countless times beforehand. In the next instant, blinding light and roaring sounds filled the entire sky.

"How is it?" Orange turned her head.

Lin Xiao looked up slightly for a moment, "Don't they have any high-altitude detection soul tools to coordinate with them?"
