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

Chapter 248 Taking Office in the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights

"Yes, it was possible before, but since I was the only one who could actually make such a soul tool, and I still needed to cultivate, the production volume could not be increased."

"So, you've found someone who can make a soul tool for you! Who is it?"

"The president of the blacksmiths' association, the master craftsman Lou Gao."

"Master Craftsman Lou Gao? Isn't he only good at blacksmithing and making weapons?"

"He was indeed like that before. But I taught him the soul tool technology."

"You just handed over this soul tool technology, which could change the course of the war, to him like that? Aren't you afraid he'll leak it?"

Lin Hai turned to look at Qian Renxue.

"Hmm? Did I say something wrong?" Qian Renxue looked at Lin Hai and asked.

"Actually, soul tools aren't as crazy about soul masters as you imagine."

"Those Soul Masters who cannot see the true value of Soul Tools, that is, those non-support-type Soul Masters with offensive capabilities, are confident in their own strength and disdain to borrow external forces."

"Of course, it is undeniable that soul tools cannot compare with soul masters at present. Soul tools still have many limitations."

"However, from the perspective of those support-type Soul Masters, the emergence of offensive Soul Tools has undoubtedly opened a door to a new world for them."

"This is why Ning Fengzhi immediately joined our alliance after seeing the offensive soul tool and realizing its extremely important significance to their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Um!"

"I entrust my Royal Knights to you."

"Oh!"

Lin Hai chuckled softly and continued in a joking tone, "Aren't you afraid I'll turn your Royal Knights against you?"

"You're welcome to give it a try!" Qian Renxue said confidently.

"What if one day they suddenly drape a yellow robe over me? Your Highness, don't regret it!"

"Hehe, see if I regret it or not."

In reality, what Qian Renxue was thinking was, "I was never really Xue Qinghe. Even if you take power, it won't affect our common goal."

"Also, remember to come earlier next time. By the time you arrive, I've already finished processing all the memorials I have. Now you're my secretary, and your job is to help me revise documents."

"What? I've been assigned heavy work the moment I was appointed as secretary!"

"Hehe, I wonder who reminded me back then that they hoped I would dedicate more time to cultivation," Qian Renxue said meaningfully.

"Alright, now that I've appointed you as the new commander of my Royal Knights Guard, go and meet your subordinates!" Qian Renxue changed the subject.

"I have a feeling you're up to something!"

"No, how could that be! What kind of relationship do we have?"

"."

As Qian Renxue and Lin Hai talked, they left Qian Renxue's Crown Prince's Hall of State Affairs.

After they left, Yue Guan and Gui Mei revealed themselves.

"Chrysanthemum Pass, did the young master appoint that brat as the commander of her personal guard knights because she wanted him to suffer at the hands of Roxon?" Ghostly's gaze was still fixed on the departing figures of Lin Hai and Qian Renxue, and he spoke without even looking at Yue Guan beside him.

"Have you forgotten the true fighting power of my brat?"

"A 100,000-year soul ring, a 100,000-year soul bone, and the number of soul skills already surpasses that of Roxon, the captain of the Royal Knights of the Young Master's personal guard, not to mention that the kid has other soul bones on him."

"Well, that's true. I was too optimistic. Alright! I underestimated Lin Hai."

"I knew this kid had incredible mental strength, but I never expected he could actually fight against a Contra level expert."

"Actually, I'm not sure either. Although the young master's personal guard, Royal Knights Commander Roxon, is only a Soul Douluo, his strength is already terrifying enough to rival that of an ordinary Title Douluo."

"Although we suspect that Lin Hai can hold his own against a Title Douluo, we'll have to wait and see how it goes."

"Let's go, Old Ghost, keep up. We'll soon find out just how strong this kid really is. Last time, with the 100,000-year-old soul beast Thunder Hell Vine, that kid's strength was decent, but it's still not enough compared to a Title Douluo. If it weren't for that kid's strange knowledge, his 100,000-year soul ring might not even be enough."

"Let's go! Let's see if this brat who obtained a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone can really fight Roxson!"

The next moment, Yue Guan and the ghostly figure disappeared from the spot.

"His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

At a training camp for the Royal Knights of the Heavenly Dou Empire, the knights of the Royal Knights quickly assembled, lined up, and prepared to welcome Xue Qinghe's arrival.

Less than 20 seconds after the shouts from the other side subsided, a neat formation of royal knights was completed.

They were all clad in armor adorned with golden patterns, fully armed from head to toe, exuding an imposing aura—this was the elite army of the Heavenly Dou Empire. Not only were their military bearing impeccable, but their discipline was also impeccable. They displayed not a trace of arrogance.

The members of the Heaven Dou Royal Knights are mostly selected from the lowest-ranking nobles. Although they are born into the lowest-ranking noble families, after joining the Royal Knights, their status in the Heaven Dou Empire is quite extraordinary.

Of course, their current achievements and fame are entirely the result of their regular training and the chivalrous spirit that belongs to their Heavenly Dou Royal Knights.

There were five hundred royal knights in neat formation here. At the very front was a knight who was clearly different from the other royal knights. His armor was more magnificent and his whole demeanor was completely different.

This Royal Knights Order is the Third Battalion of the Royal Knights Order, which Xue Ye authorized to Qian Renxue.

The one at the very front leading the group is none other than Roxon, the captain of the Third Battalion of the Royal Knights, an 85-level offensive-type Soul Master.

……

In the original timeline, it was the Royal Knights of the Heavenly Dou Empire who, along with Xue Qinghe, accompanied by Qian Renxue, prepared for the palace coup.

Because of Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue had to launch the palace coup plan ahead of schedule, but Tang San ruined the plan.

Having failed in her palace coup, Qian Renxue knew her infiltration mission had failed. Therefore, for the sake of her next plan, she ruthlessly purged the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights.

The fates of these Royal Knights were quite tragic.

Lin Hai didn't find Qian Renxue's actions disgusting at all. Now that she was confirmed as an enemy, it was time to strike.

Lin Hai felt that if given the opportunity, he could try to change these pure and loyal knights of the Royal Knights.

……

"The captain of the Third Battalion of the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights, along with all the Royal Knights of the Third Battalion, pay their respects to His Highness the Crown Prince!" Roxon shouted loudly, leading the way.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

All the Soul Master Knights of the Third Battalion of the Royal Knights knew very well that the person in front of them would, without any surprise, be the next emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Although this group of knights, who belonged exclusively to the Heavenly Dou royal family, appeared very glamorous on the surface, they were actually a group of impoverished nobles in private.

Reviving the family's glory is also their mission.

"Hmm!" Qian Renxue waved her hand to indicate her agreement.

"Everyone, this is your newly appointed commander, Lin Hai." Qian Renxue already had the intention of tricking Lin Hai, so she naturally didn't bother to explain his identity and achievements.

"Everyone, please welcome your new commander!"

The Royal Knights' Third Battalion erupted in boisterous applause.

The knights of the Third Battalion of the Royal Knights were not truly welcoming to Lin Hai. However, since Lin Hai was brought by Xue Qinghe, they had to give him considerable respect out of respect for Xue Qinghe's sake.

Moreover, the title was "commander" rather than "captain," which meant that the person in front of them was the commander of all the battalions of their Heavenly Dou Royal Knights.

It must be said that Qian Renxue is good at making arrangements. She only has the command of one large brigade of the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights, which is five hundred Heavenly Dou Royal Knights plus one captain.

However, Qian Renxue arranged for Lin Hai to serve as the commander of the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights. Her intentions were far from ordinary.

Qian Renxue was well aware of the fighting power of the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights. If she was going to do it, she had to completely control this power.

……

Lin Hai noticed that the applause coming from ahead was loud but not at all synchronized. He understood immediately and thought to himself, "It seems that Qian Renxue's personal guard doesn't really welcome me!"

These members of the Royal Knights were not convinced by Lin Hai, but as the captain of the third battalion of the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights, Roxon was born with the idea of ​​loyalty to the monarch and the country, and was loyal to the monarch's orders and his own oath.

Therefore, he did not refute Qian Renxue's arrangement.

"Former Captain Roxon of the Third Battalion of the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights greets the Commander!"

"Captain Roxson, I've long heard of your name, and seeing you today confirms it!"

"You flatter me, Commander. Roxon is devoted to the country and cares little for anything else."

Lin Hai glanced at Roxon, then at the Third Battalion of the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights stationed there.

Lin Hai stepped forward and stood before Qian Renxue Qianmian, facing the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights, and declared loudly, "I am Lin Hai. I believe that everyone here still remembers who I am."

"A year ago, I led the Heaven Dou Empire's Beast Academy to defeat the Spirit Hall in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament and win the championship."

"Ah! It's him!"

"Heavens, he's the youngest Soul King in the world."

"How did His Highness manage to bring it here to be our commander?"

"Yes! Such an arrogant and talented Soul Master wouldn't usually obey the orders of the Heaven Dou Royal Family!"

They are absolutely right; Soul Masters have their own pride.

These members of the Heaven Dou Royal Knights were themselves Soul Masters. Although they were impoverished nobles, their Soul Master status naturally made them superior to ordinary soldiers.

Their identities as Soul Masters made it clear to them that an outstanding Soul Master like Lin Hai would inevitably become a powerful figure like a Title Douluo in the future. This confidence gave him no need to worry about the orders given to him by the Heaven Dou Empire.

"..."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is mighty!"

"Your Highness is mighty!" The Heavenly Dou Royal Knights' chants gradually turned into shouts of praise for Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

They believed that Xue Qinghe deserved the most credit for enabling a prodigy like Lin Hai to join their Heavenly Dou Royal Knights.

Many people support Lin Hai, a Soul King, as the commander of the Heaven Dou Royal Knights because they see his potential. They see him as a seed for becoming a Title Douluo, and their current investment will undoubtedly yield huge returns in the future.

However, some stubborn members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights remained dissatisfied with Lin Hai's appointment as their commander.

"So what if he's a genius? So what if he defeated the Spirit Hall? He's just a Soul King now, while our captain is a Soul Douluo."

"Are we expect a powerful figure like our captain to obey the orders of a mere Soul King?"

That's a bit like sour grapes. After all, he's just a Soul Master with Soul Power, not a Soul King like Lin Hai who's already a powerful Soul King at such a young age.

"Exactly!"

It seems that I'm not the only one with this idea.

Lin Hai ignored them, simply walking past Roxon and looking at them calmly.

Just as the members of the Heavenly Battle Royal Knights were wondering what Lin Hai was up to, the next moment, they felt as if they had fallen into an abyss.

Centered on Lin Hai, a powerful soul pressure rushed towards these Heavenly Battle Royal Knights.

Although Lin Hai was a Soul Emperor, his aura was comparable to that of a high-level Soul Douluo.

Roxon thought to himself, "This new commander is no ordinary man!"

Although Lin Hai's soul pressure wasn't directed at him, he could still feel the power of Lin Hai's soul pressure.

Lin Hai paid special attention to those stubborn guys from earlier, and they were having a hard time under his special care!

The remaining Heavenly Dou Royal Knights, however, were filled with awe and respect for Lin Hai.

"Does anyone have any objections to me as the new commander?" Lin Hai asked casually.

No one voiced any objections after that, and you even removed your soul pressure.

Lin Hai glanced around at the Heavenly Dou Royal Knights, who seemed to have been reborn from the ashes, and then continued speaking.

"As royal knights of the Heavenly Dou Kingdom, do you know the code of knighthood?"

Some hesitated, while others shrank back.

Lin Hai waited patiently.

"Knights are loyal, brave, and righteous. We will dedicate everything to our lord, and die for him to fulfill his commands!"

Finally, one of the braver ones overcame his fear of the forest and spoke up loudly.

"You... are very good!" Lin Hai gave the Heavenly Dou Royal Knight a deep look.

After saying that, Lin Hai's soul tool flashed, and a box appeared in his hand.

Lin Hai tossed it directly to the royal knight who had just spoken.

"..." The scene erupted in uproar. Although they didn't know what it was, they knew that such a powerful person must be formidable.
