In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 247 Secretary? Commander of the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights

"Senior, come with me, and I will tell you everything I know about soul tools."

"Then there's no need for further words, I'll go with you."

Lou Gao shouted loudly outside, "Si Long, get over here!"

In just a few breaths, Silong rushed over and stood respectfully in front of Lou Gao, saying, "Teacher, what brings you here?"

Lou Gao snorted and said, "From now on, you're the president of the Blacksmiths' Guild. I'm fed up and going on a trip. Don't bother me with anything from now on. Of course, you won't be able to find me either."

"Huh? Teacher, you're not kidding, are you?" Si Long stared at Lou Gao in disbelief.

Lou Gao's face hardened. "Do I look like I'm joking? All my works will be left to you four brothers. From now on, when I'm no longer in the blacksmiths' association, you must work together to make it a success. I'm getting old. It's time for me to retire."

"If there's anything you really can't handle, send someone to the Power Clan in Heaven Dou City to find that old gorilla Titan. He's the vice president and a master craftsman; he's capable of solving your problems."

"Is this really so hasty, teacher?"

"There's no need for that. You can continue to be the president of the Blacksmiths' Association, but you might need to come with me to the Beast Academy as a lecturer."

"Lecturer? Okay, sure." Lou Gao readily agreed.

"But what would I be teaching them as an instructor? Blacksmithing techniques?"

"I don't think many of those Soul Master kids would actually enjoy blacksmithing."

"Soul Guidance Device!!"

"Senior Lou Gao, I will teach you all the soul tool technology I know. In return, I hope you can pass on this technology to those who are truly interested in soul tools."

"Soul tools have not yet made their true debut, but as far as soul tools and soul masters themselves are concerned, soul masters still believe in their own power."

"The current users of soul tools like mine are mostly support-type soul masters, helping them gain combat power they never had before."

"Therefore, I am not worried about the consequences of the leakage of soul tool technology."

"If Soul Masters truly cared about Soul Tools, the technology for Soul Tools wouldn't have been lost."

Lin Hai didn't care that the secret of soul tools had spread across the continent. For the continent to develop rapidly, it needed a surge of new ideas to propel it forward. Stagnation would ultimately lead to being eliminated by the times.

"You're right," Lou Gao nodded.

"But you've witnessed the power of soul tools, senior. As research into soul tools progresses, the higher the level of the soul tool, the more astonishing its power becomes."

"really."

"Kid, I still have to thank you. I have a direction to strive for in life again."

"I just hope Senior Lou Gao won't look down on me."

"Hahaha, kid, you've got guts, I like it."

"Senior Lou Gao, I hope you can recognize a fact: the situation on the mainland is very serious right now. I need time to cultivate. Once I grow stronger, no one will dare to invade our Beast Academy."

"So, senior, I'm entrusting the entire matter of soul tools to you. Of course, this doesn't mean I'll give up on soul tools. It just means that I'll need your help with the production and inheritance of soul tools."

"I am very interested in soul tools, and I believe my blacksmithing skills will be very suitable for them."

"Kid, you still know too little about the blacksmithing trade."

"We are Soul Masters; anything is possible."

"If the soul tool in your hand were made from materials that I crafted for you, I believe it would be of a completely different standard," Lou Gao said, patting his chest.

"It's not that I look down on you, but although the materials you use to make soul tools are quite good, your forging technique is still too poor."

"I certainly don't have the expertise in that area."

"Kid, you should focus on your training!"

"You also told me that to develop more powerful soul tools, we need stronger soul masters."

"This may be the end of my life. If I take another step forward, I might be fortunate enough to glimpse the realm of a Soul Douluo."

"But according to your classification of soul tools, I can only make level eight soul tools at most in my life," Lou Gao sighed.

"I am also a greedy person, and I also want to see the view of this soul tool at a higher level."

"I understand!" Lin Hai took a deep look at Lou Gao.

"Knock knock knock~"

"Come in."

"Your Highness, Lord Lin Hai requests an audience," the guard at the entrance reported to Xue Qinghe.

"Oh? It's him! Please let him in!"

That's right, it's Lin Hai. Since Lin Hai and his group traveled to the Star Luo Empire two months ago, and brought back the Yang family of the Broken Clan, as well as Lou Gao and a large number of Soul Masters and Blacksmiths from Gengxin City, the power of the Beast Academy has been greatly enhanced, and the middle-level forces have been replenished immediately.

Lin Hai's next step in expanding the Beast Academy is to merge several elemental academies.

However, Lin Hai entrusted this task to Feng Xiaotian.

Regardless of whether Feng Xiaotian can persuade Shenfeng Academy, Chihuo Academy, and Tianshui Academy to merge into the Beast Academy, Lin Hai will definitely do it in the end.

Strength is the foundation for achieving everything.

After returning to the academy, Lin Hai spent half a month teaching Lou Gao about soul tools, including soul guidance arrays, the depiction of soul guidance arrays, the types of soul guidance arrays, and the combination of soul guidance arrays to construct soul tools.

Fortunately, although Lou Gao is a bit childish, he is also a smart person. He basically understands things very quickly.

Lin Hai felt that it was about time and left the Beast Academy.

He has almost finished making arrangements to strengthen the overall strength and influence of the Beast Academy.

Now it's time to think about his own future.

To reiterate, whether it's for the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's soul ring and new martial soul, or for the Vast Ocean Universe Cover symbolizing the right to inherit the Sea God's throne, Lin Hai cannot bypass Qian Renxue and needs her help.

Fortunately, after spending so much time with Qian Renxue, Lin Hai didn't dislike her, or rather, he had some affection for her.

It's perfectly normal to fall in love at first sight, or rather, to be attracted to someone's beauty.

After all, who wouldn't like having an angelic wife?

After a short while, the guards finished their report, and Lin Hai entered the Heavenly Dou Empire's palace and went to the office belonging to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

"You've come!" Qian Renxue put down her pen, raised her head, and looked calmly at Lin Hai.

"I'm here!" Lin Hai replied calmly, responding to Qian Renxue's gaze.

Lin Hai's attack began at this moment. His gaze met Qian Renxue's, and Lin Hai stared at her intently without flinching.

Qian Renxue had never experienced anything like this before, and her skin wasn't as thick as Lin Hai's. After staring at each other for about ten seconds, Qian Renxue was the first to fall down.

Qian Renxue lowered her head, pretending to work, but her earlobes, which were covered by her short golden hair, had already turned very red.

"Speak! What brings you here this time?" Qian Renxue suppressed her inner turmoil.

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"

"After so many interactions with you, if I still don't understand you, I'd be incredibly stupid!"

"You never come here unless you have a reason," Qian Renxue said, as if she had seen right through Lin Hai.

In other words, "new machine words dig one more Mohe more".

"Alright! I originally came here to apply for a position, but since His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't welcome me, I guess I'll have to leave!"

"Wait, he said 'apply for a job'!! That means he's going to work for her." Qian Renxue thought to herself.

"This guy, finally he knows how to do something worthwhile."

After Lin Hai finished speaking, he made a move to leave.

Qian Renxue—no, Xue Qinghe—immediately cried out, "Wait!"

"What is it, Your Highness? Is there anything else?"

"Ahem, since you are so devoted to serving your country, I should naturally grant your wish!"

"Alright, you can come and be my secretary for now!"

"Hmm? Secretary?" Lin Hai appeared genuinely surprised.

However, Lin Hai's true feelings are not as they appear on the surface.

"Secretary, hehehe, isn't this perfect!"

"Wasn't the original purpose of coming here...?"

Lin Hai was quite satisfied, but he didn't say it out loud.

……

Qian Renxue thought Lin Hai was unwilling, so she added, "We have common goals."

They immediately established a common goal in order to reduce Lin Hai's resistance.

"So what?" Lin Hai didn't respond.

"So having you working by my side will have the best effect on our grand plan." Lin Hai didn't take the bait, but Qian Renxue still said firmly.

Qian Renxue is no ordinary woman; she is the heir of the Spirit Hall's Angel lineage and the current Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. Lin Hai's lack of initiative couldn't possibly disrupt her plans.

As for the small mistakes she made when facing Lin Hai in the past, it was because she was not familiar with Lin Hai and had not had much contact with men her age, which made her feel a little lost.

……

"But... compared to being a secretary, I'd much rather lead troops!" Lin Hai said feignedly.

Of course, Lin Hai had considered leading troops, but plans can't keep up with changes. Because of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Lin Hai had to make changes.

Call Lin Hai despicable or treacherous, but one thing is certain: Lin Hai will not harm Qian Renxue.

Because Qian Renxue's actions in upholding justice do not conflict with Lin Hai's aspiration to build a beautiful and peaceful continent.

"Leading troops?" Qian Renxue's eyebrows twitched, and she pondered for a moment.

Because of the 100,000-year soul ring and the fact that Lin Hai had revealed most of his secrets to Qian Renxue, Qian Renxue believed that the alliance between Lin Hai and her was basically unbreakable.

Given her background, Qian Renxue's political talent was naturally considerable.

She was also well aware that the amount of military power she held would play a significant role in achieving a more perfect transition of power to the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun—an eternal truth.

"How about this then!"

"You will serve as both my secretary and the commander of the Heaven Dou Empire's Royal Knights!"

"Oh?" Such a good thing! It's killing two birds with one stone!

Anyway, we're both within Tiandou City, so it won't interfere with our business.

"That's great, I'm very satisfied with this position!"

A smile was hidden in Qian Renxue's eyes.

She thought to herself, "Lin Hai, Lin Hai, enjoy the gift I prepared for you!"

"Loxon, the commander of the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights, is not someone to be trifled with!"

Lin Hai looked at Qian Renxue, who was deeply immersed in her own mental world, and thought to himself, "Is this girl thinking of something naughty?"

……

"Alright, my secretary!"

"Come work with me!" Qian Renxue handed the documents in her hand to Lin Hai.

In this situation, having successfully outmaneuvered Lin Hai, one can only imagine how happy Qian Renxue must be.

Lin Hai didn't feel embarrassed or awkward at all. He calmly took the document that Qian Renxue had just read and annotated.

Lin Hai opened the package and saw that it contained a letter from the Grand Councilor regarding the recent friction between the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire.

There have been as many as five incidents in the past month, and all of them were provoked by the Star Luo Empire.

Lin Hai frowned as he looked at the document.

Because Qian Renxue's comment to the Grand Councilor was, "Hold your temper; do not be easily provoked!"

In short, it's about giving in.

Of course, Qian Renxue's decision was partly influenced by her identity within the Spirit Hall, as she wanted to eliminate some troops who did not obey her.

However, the main reason is that the military strength of the Heaven Dou Empire is inferior to that of the Star Luo Empire.

Qian Renxue certainly wished that the Heaven Dou Empire she took over would be a powerful empire!

However, it is a fact that the Heavenly Dou Empire is weaker than the Star Luo Empire, and this fact has lasted for four hundred years.

"What? Is there a problem?" Qian Renxue looked at Lin Hai, who was deep in thought.

Lin Hai shook his head upon hearing this.

He didn't think Qian Renxue's reply was wrong.

The main problem is that the current political landscape in mainland China is too complex.

After a century of peace, the Star Luo Empire could no longer contain its ambition to unify the continent.

Beyond the two great empires, there is also the Spirit Hall, which holds a transcendent position in the world of soul masters. Under the leadership of the current Pope Bibi Dong, the Spirit Hall has become increasingly powerful and assertive.

As an employee of the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue naturally knew the Spirit Hall's vision, which was to unify the continent.

Other Soul Master factions are still observing from the sidelines, or rather, attempting to protect themselves, such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant School, who are basically staying on the sidelines.

"I just feel that the Heaven Dou Empire's army is still too weak in combat!"

"On this continent, although Soul Masters hold a supreme position, the vast majority of humans are still ordinary people."

"So what are you planning to do?"

"Do you currently possess the authority to command the Soul Master forces of the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"No, although the Emperor has delegated power to me, he still holds the reins of the empire's military power."

"He essentially handed over command of the Royal Knights of the Heaven Dou Empire to me."

"And he still holds the reins of the other armies within Heaven Dou City, including another Soul Master army."

"Is that so?"

"In that case, I'll equip your Royal Knights order first!"

"equipment?"

"The soul tool you researched is ready for use."
