Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 40 Controlling Soul Instructor

Soul engineers can bring the power of soul guides to the extreme, and even rely on soul power to exert power beyond performance. The actual control soul engineer relies on soul guides to bring his own martial soul and soul skills to the extreme, showing combat power beyond his own limits.

Most actual control soul masters only use a few soul guides, but soul masters are different. They have at least eight soul guides on them, if not ten, and some even have hundreds of various soul guides.

To put it simply, a controlled soul master is like a traditional soul master holding a weapon or a god pulling out his own divine weapon.

They all add external assistance based on their own combat power.

Generally speaking, a controlled soul engineer has stronger combat power than a simple soul engineer, and is even stronger than some traditional soul masters. This is also an attempt made by the Sun-Moon Empire to fight against traditional soul masters. Nothing can be seen in the short term, but when the first batch of controlled soul engineers grow up, they will definitely bring surprises to those traditional soul masters.

Of course, it is quite easy for traditional soul masters to switch to actual control soul masters. They just need someone to tailor a few special soul guides for them, and then they can use them skillfully, and then they can become qualified actual control soul masters.

Even those auxiliary soul masters who have no combat power, if they can use soul guides skillfully, can still give themselves a few amplifying soul skills, and then hold two soul guide swords and chop all the way, from Xingluo to Sun and Moon without any problem.

In the first Douluo Continent series that Liu Xing had seen, wasn't that the case with the protagonist? Soul Masters equipped with hidden weapons were able to fight against opponents of higher rank. Soul Guidance Devices were simply an upgraded version of hidden weapons, and this was one of the reasons for the decline of the renowned Tang Sect.

Of course, in Liuxing's opinion, the decline of the Tang Sect was not only due to the soul guides, but also due to many reasons of their own.

"Have you chosen the soul beast you want? If not, I will help you choose."

Luan Yu put down the book in her hand and looked at Liu Xing. The two sisters still had some confidence in training soul masters. Although they were both soul engineers and their own Fire Phoenix Sword and Ice Phoenix Sword had not yet exerted their due potential, they still had some experience in training soul masters. After all, they were Titled Douluo. With a high-level perspective, they would always gain something.

According to Luan Yu's observations of the disciples of the major sects while traveling around the continent, their soul skills are basically the same. With the same martial soul, the soul skills they absorb are pretty much the same. This is the result of thousands of years of experience accumulated by those sects. They know which soul beasts' soul rings to absorb in order to obtain soul skills that are suitable for them. Of course, this is only the first few soul rings, and the rest depends entirely on chance. After all, high-level soul beasts are too random, so as long as they are suitable, they don't have the energy to be picky.

According to the observations of Fire Phoenix Douluo and Luan Yu, they believe that it is best for Meteor and Firefly to absorb the first few soul rings of soul beasts that can provide amplification soul skills. Because when they reach the Titled Douluo level, the soul skills provided by the first few soul rings of lower age can no longer keep up with the combat intensity of the Titled Douluo, and are like chicken ribs. If the soul skills provided by the first few soul rings are soul skills that provide amplification, they can still play an important role even at the level of Titled Douluo.

On this Douluo Continent, fire-attribute soul beasts are easy to find, but destruction-attribute soul beasts are hard to find. The number and types of soul beasts native to the Sun-Moon Empire cannot compare to those in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, not to mention the extremely rare destruction-attribute soul beasts.

Soul beasts with destructive attributes depended on luck, but soul beasts with fire attributes could be found in the Demon Forest and Mingdou Forest of the Sun-Moon Empire. As for the famous Xingdou Forest on the mainland, it was too far away and located at the junction of the three former Douluo Kingdoms. It was not convenient for the people of the Sun-Moon Empire to go there to hunt soul beasts.

At least right now, meteors and fireflies aren't suitable. Early on, you don't need to go to the Xingdou Great Forest to find soul beasts of lower age. Later on, if necessary, you can go. After all, the Xingdou Great Forest has the most high-level bloodline soul beasts, and high-level bloodline soul beasts produce the best spirit rings. As for the Mingdou Great Forest, the same principle applies. It's located at the border between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Xingluo Empire. Both sides have troops stationed in the Mingdou Mountains, and there are occasional minor conflicts. If you encounter the Xingluo Empire's army, it will be very troublesome.

Therefore, the Demon Forest, which is located closest to Mingdu, is the best choice. The Demon Forest is the place with the most soul beasts in the Sun-Moon Empire. There must be soul beasts suitable to become the first soul ring of Meteor and Firefly. Although the Demon Forest is very dangerous, it is home to the strongest soul beast in the Sun-Moon Empire, the Evil Emperor, who is ranked second among the ten most ferocious beasts and once challenged the Beast God Di Tian and escaped unscathed.

But the soul beasts that Liuxing and his men need are at most a thousand years old. Soul beasts of this age generally live on the outskirts of the Demon Forest. With Luanyu, a ninth-level soul master, here, they only hunt soul beasts on the outskirts. As long as they are not lucky E spearmen, they will not be unlucky enough to encounter a hundred thousand year old soul beast.

Safety can still be guaranteed.

A Titled Douluo helps to hunt down the first soul ring. Even the heirs of some large sects probably don’t have this kind of treatment. Even the princesses and princes of the four great empires rarely have this kind of treatment.

Meteor and Firefly can be said to be very lucky. They met the kind-hearted Luanyu, and their starting point changed from being a commoner to being a wealthy one.

Fire Phoenix Douluo needs to be in charge of the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Corps. Without the emperor's order, he cannot leave Mingdu at will. This is also a restriction for joining the empire. After all, you are served by the empire, and you can't be away from home when you are needed!
Fire Phoenix Douluo's lack of freedom is also the reason why Luanyu is unwilling to join the empire, because she likes to explore everywhere and see more of the world.

She had no official duties and could leave Mingdu at any time, so she led Liuxing and Liuying to obtain the first soul ring.

The Demon Forest is located in the south of the Sun and Moon Empire, not far from Mingdu. You can enter the Demon Forest by crossing the Rising Sun City.

After saying goodbye to Fire Phoenix Douluo, Luan Yu took Meteor and Firefly and headed south, preparing to leave Mingdu from the southern area.

When the three of them arrived at the South District Checkpoint, Shangguan Wei'er and Ye Guyi were waiting by the main road of the checkpoint. At the same time, the Crown Prince Xu Tianran was also chatting and laughing with Xu Tianzhen with Shangguan Wei'er.

Meteor was not surprised to see these people, because after he and Liuying's martial spirits awakened, Xu Tianran and Shangguan Weier, who had paid special attention to them, knew that they both had innate full soul power. After all, one of them was the eldest son of a powerful prince, and the other was a ninth-level soul instructor who was in charge of all entertainment and most of the catering industries in Mingdu. They were qualified to find out this information.

Coincidentally, Xu Tianzhen and Ye Guyi also had innate full soul power. Since they awakened their martial souls at the same time as Liuxing and the others, and were also planning to hunt for soul rings in the next few days, Shangguan Weier found her old classmate Luanyu and asked her to take Ye Guyi with her.
