Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 263 Reconnaissance Operation

After taking a few puffs of Qian Renxue, Lin Chen lay on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling.

In the face of absolute power, everything else is meaningless.

Lin Chen had once said those words to his defeated opponent, and now those words felt like a bullet to his own forehead. Lin Chen deeply understood the meaning of those words.

If he could break through to the god level, all his problems would be solved, and even if he faced Tang San, he would have a chance to save his life.

The problem is, he doesn't know how to break through to the god level.

Even with this incomplete divine position, Lin Chen was still clueless, as his ancestor had not told him how to break through to the god level.

Forget about god-level, we haven't even collected all the soul bones yet; we're still missing a torso bone and a left leg bone.

"Forget it, I should focus on raising my cultivation to the demigod level first."

Lin Chen thought to himself, "In that case, I will have enough strength to contend with those three people."

Of course, it was only those three people.

Since there are no shortcuts, we should honestly improve our cultivation. There's always a way out, and things will work themselves out. Maybe all the problems will be solved by then?

After the great battle, Lin Chen dragged his exhausted body and slowly fell asleep.

……

Heavenly Soul Empire, Heavenly Spirit City

Tianling City is located at the border of the three kingdoms of Tianhun Empire, Xingluo Empire and Riyue Empire. Now that the war has begun, it has naturally become the front-line command center. Although Tianhun Empire is far inferior to Riyue Empire in terms of detecting soul tools, it still has a considerable number of simple soul tools.

"Yuhao, you'll be in charge of this operation," Lin Huiqun said to Huo Yuhao.

Standing beside her was Yan Shaozhe, a senior elder of the Sea God Pavilion at the Super Douluo level.

"Me?" Huo Yuhao was taken aback, and quickly said, "How can I do that? With you and Dean Yan here, I'm just a lowly soldier under you."

Lin Huiqun shook her head and said, "No. Everyone has their own expertise. When it comes to warfare, Shao Zhe and I are both amateurs. You, on the other hand, have participated in many wars against the Sun Moon Empire, and your understanding of their Soul Master Corps is far deeper than any of ours. We're not a real army; whoever is capable should go. I think this is how it works: from now on, everyone who came out this time, including Shao Zhe and me, will be under your command. I'll handle the coordination with the Heavenly Soul Empire. What do you all think?"

Given her status as a Super Douluo, she carries far more weight than Huo Yuhao and is much more convincing.

The Tang Clan members naturally couldn't say anything, but their eyes were filled with surprise. They hadn't expected Elder Lin to value Huo Yuhao so much.

Yan Shaozhe readily chimed in, "I think it's a good idea. Old Lin is wise."

Huo Yuhao looked at the two Super Douluo with a wry smile.

"Yuhao, you don't need to feel guilty. I'm not joking with you. You will be in charge of this mission. We will all cooperate with you as much as possible. Only you know the situation of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Legion, and none of us have ever truly fought against the Soul Master Legion. You should know that because of the linked Soul Guidance Device, the advantage of our individual Soul Master strength is no longer so obvious. Otherwise, the Heavenly Soul Empire wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat with the support of the Body Sect," Lin Huiqun said solemnly.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, nodded seriously, and said, "Thank you for your trust, Elder Lin and Dean Yan. I will do my best."

Lin Huiqun smiled slightly and said, "Don't blame us for shirking our responsibilities. I'm getting old, and my mind isn't as sharp as it used to be. Shao Zhe is also getting on in years. Alright, you two discuss the specific action plan. Just tell us what you need us to do first thing tomorrow morning. I'm going back to rest now."

After saying that, Lin Huiqun's body flashed with a blue light and she disappeared.

Lin Huiqun's trust undoubtedly placed a heavy burden on Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao looked at Bei Bei with a wry smile, but Bei Bei immediately turned her head away, a faint smile on her face.

In the future, Shrek Academy will send three Soul Master Corps to directly participate in the war, and it urgently needs an excellent commander. The army organized by Shrek Academy is mainly composed of students, teachers, and Soul Masters recruited from outside. These forces are all willingly serving Shrek Academy. However, the three original kingdoms of the Douluo Continent will inevitably covet this powerful force. The Sea God Pavilion meeting had already decided that after the establishment of these three Soul Master Corps, they can only be led by people from Shrek Academy, and cannot be handed over to any of the original three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent. This is not due to distrust, but rather because it involves national interests; otherwise, the three kingdoms might encounter command problems.

However, Shrek City is just a city, and Shrek Academy is merely a Soul Master and Soul Instructor Academy, or even a faction, not a military academy. Truly skilled military commanders are extremely rare. Under these circumstances, the academy needs someone like Huo Yuhao to step forward and help share the burden.

As a high-ranking member of the Sea God Pavilion, Lin Huiqun naturally participated in discussions about the future of Shrek Academy, and therefore he also wanted to use this operation to hone Huo Yuhao's abilities.

This battlefield, with its millions of troops, is the perfect place to showcase his abilities.

Lin Huiqun left, but Yan Shaozhe stayed. He nodded to Huo Yuhao and said, "Alright, let's plan this in detail. Let's brainstorm together."

"The plan is roughly as I just mentioned. I need a few days to conduct reconnaissance of the Sun Moon Empire's army from extremely high altitudes using various methods. At the same time, I need to obtain some information about the Sun Moon Empire's military from the Heavenly Soul Empire. For example, how many Soul Master Corps does the Sun Moon Empire have, how many high-level Soul Masters are there, and what high-level Soul Tools they are equipped with. Of course, I will confirm these through reconnaissance. But the Sun Moon Empire will definitely be prepared. They will definitely use some methods to conceal the number and power of their Soul Tools," Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice.

Bei nodded slightly and said, "I'll say it again: whether it's reconnaissance or our subsequent operations, safety must be the top priority."

Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Okay, let's plan it out in detail."

After explaining his intentions to the military liaison in the courtyard, the liaison said he needed to report to his superiors first.

Less than five minutes later, Princess Vina came over in person again.

"Are you going to the Sun Moon Empire to conduct reconnaissance?" Princess Vina asked eagerly as soon as they met.

Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Yes! Any action must be based on reconnaissance."

Vina thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go with you."

"Huh?" Huo Yuhao was taken aback. "Are you kidding me? You, with your precious physique, are going on a reconnaissance mission with me? Although high-altitude reconnaissance shouldn't be too dangerous, it's not absolute."

Vina smiled sadly and said, "Please let me go. I've been in the rear these past few days, and haven't been able to participate in the battles on the front lines. I just want to do something for my country. Actually, if it weren't for this thought, I would have followed Aotian long ago."
