Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Vina's Brain Martial Soul is a second mutation of a Silver-level Body Martial Soul. She was once the main control Soul Master of the Snow Demon Sect team. Her mental and ice attributes can indeed assist Ji Lin and are of great help to him.

Although Ji Lin does not have a spirit-attribute martial soul, his spiritual power is stronger than that of spirit-attribute soul masters, and he can use spirit-attribute soul skills with ease. With Vina's assistance, his spirit-attribute soul skills will be even stronger.

He was indeed a good teammate, but unfortunately his cultivation level was a bit low, not even a Soul Saint. However, Vina was about the same age as him, and at that age, being able to break through to Soul Emperor was already considered genius.

Vina continued, "Moreover, with me around, you can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. I have a signal soul tool from our Heavenly Soul Empire, so as long as I'm by your side, you don't need to worry about being accidentally injured by friendly forces."

Seeing Princess Vina's determined look, Ji Lin smiled and said, "Your Highness, since I've promised you, I won't go back on my word. I will definitely take you with me."

"Yes, thank you." Vina nodded.

Princess Vina's possession of the signal soul tool made things much easier; the two of them took off from the spot and soared into the sky.

Just as Vina said, her cultivation level had already reached the Soul Emperor level. With the addition of a flying soul tool, her speed in the air was not slow at all. Even though the Heavenly Soul Empire was far behind the Sun Moon Empire in terms of soul tool manufacturing, as a princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, the soul tool she could use was naturally the best in the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Ji Lin carried Vina straight up into the sky, constantly increasing in altitude. In no time, the two were far from the ground, and the scenery below gradually became blurred.

After the two flew to an altitude of over two thousand meters, Princess Vina's speed slowed down significantly. After all, she was only a Soul Emperor. Although her Snow Lotus Martial Soul could help her resist the cold at high altitudes, her soul power consumption would increase as she continued to climb higher.

However, Vina did not trouble Ji Lin. A faint light shone from the flying soul tool behind her. Ji Lin immediately sensed that at least four milk bottles on her flying soul tool were releasing soul power fluctuations and continuously injecting soul power.

Ji Lin, of course, did not have such a problem. Soon, the two of them were flying at an altitude of nearly three thousand meters.

Upon reaching the 3,000-meter mark, Vina was clearly struggling, and her flight speed decreased significantly. She glanced at Ji Lin beside her. Throughout the entire flight, Ji Lin had been using the Ice Wings. Although he hadn't displayed any special abilities or high speed, Vina couldn't help but admire him. They were all the same age, and Ji Lin was even a few months younger than her, yet his strength was already so formidable. It seemed that Ji Lin had grown even stronger since returning from Mingdu. No wonder the news from the Star Luo Empire said that he had helped the Star Luo Empire reclaim the Mingdou Mountains.

"Ji Lin, is this height about right?" Vina asked Ji Lin beside her.

Ji Lin shook his head and said, "It's not good enough yet. This distance is basically the same as the Sun Moon Empire's ultra-high-altitude detection soul guide device, so we need to fly even higher to avoid being detected by them as much as possible."

Vina asked doubtfully, "But if we fly even higher, and it's nighttime, will we still be able to observe their situation?"

It's not that the Heavenly Soul Empire lacks Soul Masters who can fly to even higher altitudes; even Title Douluos can reach 5,000 meters. However, at that altitude, the distance to the ground is so great that it's almost impossible to see anything below. Even the general situation is unclear, let alone reconnaissance, especially without considering cloud and fog interference.

Ji Lin smiled and didn't speak. Instead, he activated the mental detection sharing. Vina was stunned for a moment, but then she didn't resist and accepted Ji Lin's mental detection sharing. The next moment, Vina found the following scene in her mind, which was extremely clear, as if it were right next to her.

Vina opened her mouth, then hesitated, thinking, "What an outrageous mental-type soul skill! She also has a mental-type martial soul. If they had this soul skill, their Heavenly Soul Empire wouldn't be in such a passive position."

However, just how strong must one's mental power be to release mental detection over such a distance? At least Vina believed she couldn't do it, not even if she broke through to the Soul Saint level! You have to know that Ji Lin is also a Soul Saint! And not even a proper mental-type Soul Master. She finally understood just how ridiculously overpowered Ji Lin was.

If not all of his own elemental soul skills are this powerful, one can only imagine how strong his own elemental fire and ice skills are.

"I apologize, Your Highness."

Ji Lin flashed and appeared directly behind Vina. Vina subconsciously looked at him. Ji Lin stretched out his right hand and grabbed the back of Vina's collar. Vina immediately felt her body lighten. Then, the previously slowed ascent speed suddenly increased, and under Ji Lin's guidance, she flew straight into the sky.

this……!

Vina felt embarrassed and annoyed. Being carried by Ji Lin in this position made her feel like she was going to die. However, she was quickly shocked. She knew Ji Lin's cultivation level. He hadn't broken through to the eighth-ring Soul Douluo, but he was rapidly ascending at a height of over three thousand meters, and he could even carry her, a burden, with him. Even a Title Douluo couldn't do that. She had underestimated Ji Lin. She tried to use her spiritual power to probe Ji Lin's strength, but she couldn't find anything. Even under these circumstances, the fluctuations of soul power on Ji Lin's body were very stable, without any sense of strain.

Vina sighed inwardly. Back then, after joining the Body Sect, she always thought that she and Long Aotian were the most talented Soul Masters of the younger generation. However, after meeting Ji Lin and others, she fully understood what a true genius was, especially her best friend's fiancé, whom she couldn't see through at all.

After continuing to ascend, reaching an altitude of about four thousand meters, Ji Lin slowed down. Although his cultivation was not weak, continuing to ascend would consume too much energy.

Moreover, in Ji Lin's view, an altitude of around four thousand meters was already beyond the detection range of high-altitude soul-guided devices. He increased the altitude and changed to level flight, then flew with Princess Vina towards the Sun Moon Empire's camp.

Just then, a surge of soul power emanated from beneath him. Immediately afterward, Ji Lin felt a pure and gentle soul power flow into his body, carrying a fragrant aroma. Instantly, his mental and soul power were significantly replenished, even receiving a boost, which invigorated him.

Looking down, Vina nodded to him, holding a snow lotus in her palm, radiating a soft light.

Ji Lin smiled and gave a thumbs up. "Great support." Among the support characters Ji Lin had encountered, only Ning Tian's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and Gongyang Mo's Rainbow Dragon were a notch above Vina's Snow Lotus Martial Soul.

Even so, this Snow Lotus Martial Soul is still a top-tier support-type Martial Soul.

Vina smiled slightly. With Ji Lin carrying her, all Vina had to do now was resist the cold at high altitudes on her own. She didn't want to become a burden. The release of the Snow Lotus Martial Soul immediately provided Ji Lin with a considerable boost.

Just then, Vina sensed an extremely powerful spiritual force emanating from Ji Lin. Instantly, the light around them distorted, and her and Ji Lin's figures vanished into thin air.

Vina's mental strength was also quite strong, and she immediately realized what he was doing, exclaiming in surprise, "Are you distorting light with your mental power?"

Ji Lin smiled and said, "I only recently learned how to use mental power; it's nothing to mention."

This was a mental power secret technique that Ji Lin learned from Electrolux during his spare time. During this period, Electrolux's spiritual sense had been greatly enhanced, and he had recalled more memories, including this mental power technique of distorting light to achieve invisibility. Electrolux passed it on to Ji Lin immediately.

Vina rolled her eyes, slightly speechless. What do you mean by "not worth mentioning"? Does she even know what this technique of distorting light with mental power means to a mental-type Soul Master? It's equivalent to having an extra Soul Skill! And you call this not worth mentioning? Compared to Ji Lin, Vina thinks she's a fake mental-type Soul Master.

Vina then exclaimed in delight, "In that case, we can conceal our presence. With your mental detection, and our ice-attribute martial souls using ice-attribute soul power to change our body temperature and evade the heat detection soul tool, we can completely uncover the Sun Moon Empire's intelligence without anyone noticing."

Ji Lin smiled without saying a word, secretly giving Vina a thumbs up for her intelligence.

However, Vina's excitement only lasted a short while before she became somewhat dejected. She knew that this was something only Ji Lin could do. Although she was also a mental-type soul master, she couldn't replicate it. She didn't have Ji Lin's powerful mental strength, nor did she have the soul skill "Mental Detection," nor could she use her mental strength to distort light and hide herself. Her mental-type martial soul was equipped with offensive soul skills, and she had very few auxiliary soul skills.

Although Ji Lin is not a spirit-type soul master, he possesses the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm Saint Mark and a head soul bone, which destined him to have a far superior mastery of spiritual power than Vina. In addition, he has a powerful figure who has condensed divine consciousness to teach him how to use spiritual power. In terms of the use of spiritual power, no one in the Douluo Continent can match him.

Vina is no match for Ji Lin. As a Soul Master, she is destined to focus her energy on attack and would never add an auxiliary Soul Ring to her Brain Martial Soul. She already has a supportive Snow Lotus, and adding another auxiliary Soul Ring to her Spirit-type Martial Soul would be a complete mess. Adding an attack-type Soul Skill is the best choice.

After all, she wasn't Ji Lin, who had Heavenly Fire Judgment and Ice and Snow Maiden, whose attack and control were maxed out. He only needed to focus on the support route for his mental skills and didn't need to study offensive mental skills at all.
