Douluo Continent: Transmigrating to the Star Palace of Yuhao

Chapter 23 Xianlin'er

Some people are so unlucky that even drinking cold water can cause them to have problems.

Some people are handed a pillow just as they're about to fall asleep.

Today's Xianlin'er happens to be the latter type.

Just two days ago, she, Qian Duoduo, and Fan Yu finalized a grand plan for the future of the Soul Guidance Department, called "Ultimate Individual Soldier." To put it simply, the plan aims to cultivate a talent capable of changing the outcome of local wars through individual strength.

This involves systematic learning in various fields such as soul tool manufacturing, stealth, infiltration, and sabotage. When the three of them were discussing personnel selection, their first choice was a genius with a spiritual martial soul. Such a person basically perfectly meets all the conditions of the "Ultimate Individual Soldier" plan.

Among all types of martial souls, spiritual martial souls are the most unpredictable and unpredictable, making them difficult to defend against. For example, illusion skills are naturally suited to the needs of stealth and infiltration, and the lack of destructive power can be made up for by soul tools.

Because those who possess spiritual martial souls have observation and learning abilities far exceeding those of ordinary soul masters, they often achieve twice the result with half the effort in their cultivation of soul guidance techniques.

A powerful spirit-type Soul Master, who is also a powerful Soul Master, would be the perfect executor of the "Ultimate Individual Soldier" plan.

However, the number of spirit-type soul masters is pitifully small even on the entire continent, and those with great strength are even rarer. The spirit-type soul beasts required for these soul masters' cultivation are also extremely rare in the soul beast world.

So, where can they find someone who is not only a genius among spirit-type soul masters, but also interested in soul tools and willing to sit on the sidelines and devote themselves to research?

At Shrek Academy, if there truly were a genius with a spirit-type martial soul, given the stubborn and closed-minded attitude of the Martial Soul Department, there would be absolutely no chance of them agreeing to let someone into the Soul Guidance Department. The conditions were incredibly harsh, making their idea seem like a needle in a haystack.

But fate sometimes likes to play tricks. The more impossible something seems to a person, the more likely it is to be presented to that person by heaven.

When Xian Lin'er curiously walked up to a handsome young man and heard him say that he was a Soul Master with a Spirit-type Martial Soul, and that he was a freshman who wanted to learn about Soul Tools, she was stunned.

The dream was so unreal that she couldn't help but secretly pinch her arm.

Yeah, it really hurts! This isn't a dream!

Huo Yuhao waited somewhat awkwardly for the stunned woman in front of him to give him an answer: could he visit the Soul Guidance System or not? Could she just give him a straight answer?

Just as Huo Yuhao was somewhat at a loss, Xian Lin'er finally came to her senses. She covered her mouth and coughed lightly twice, then said to Huo Yuhao somewhat apologetically, "Of course you can visit! The Soul Guidance Department welcomes all students to come here to learn about the making and use of soul tools. I can take you in now, Huo Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Then I'll trouble you to explain it to me, teacher."

Xian Lin'er smiled kindly, "No need to be so polite. The Soul Guidance Department needs talents like you. After the freshman assessment, you can choose to study in the Soul Guidance Department. Now let me show you around."

With that, Xian Lin'er walked straight forward, and the two of them quickly entered the experimental area of ​​the soul tool.

Upon entering, Huo Yuhao was immediately struck by various metal structures, their surfaces gleaming with a dark brown sheen. Beyond that was a long, horizontal corridor, with a door every thirty meters. These doors were labeled with markings such as "Experimental Zone One," "Experimental Zone Two," and so on.

Xian Lin'er didn't just walk ahead on her own. Although Huo Yuhao showed a strong interest in soul tools, she had to be wary of the possibility that the child was acting on impulse or just having a whim.

"What is Huo Yuhao's opinion on soul tools?" Xian Lin'er's kind voice rang out softly.

Without much thought, Huo Yuhao gave his answer: "A tool, an auxiliary tool that is very suitable for Soul Masters."

Upon hearing this, Xian Lin'er's eyes lit up slightly, indicating that she had indeed come prepared.

She then asked, "Tell me more details, I'm curious about your answer."

"Soul tools are to Soul Masters what farming tools are to farmers and weapons are to soldiers. They are an excellent tool that can make up for the shortcomings of Soul Masters. If ordinary people can also use Soul tools in the future, then the rules of the entire world will be completely rewritten."

"In my eyes, this is an inexhaustible driving force for changing the world, and anyone who tries to stop it will ultimately bring shame upon themselves."

Xian Lin'er was somewhat surprised, because these words didn't sound like something a teenager would say. She turned around and asked Huo Yuhao with a curious look, "Where did you hear that?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao scratched his head and said somewhat reservedly, "I started struggling in the rogue soul master circle when I was eight years old. I've seen many wealthy soul masters prepare several layers of soul guide shields for themselves, and I've also seen them carrying soul guide cannons to kill soul beasts. Some of what they said was their own, and many of what I said was my own personal experience."

"Without a powerful force or strength, as long as you have money, no one will think they're lucky to be alive. Everyone likes to add some life-saving measures to their lives. We rogue cultivators, without sects or factions, have always done whatever works best. We are far less persistent and arrogant than those traditional soul master families. After all, we are people who lick blood from the edge of a knife, and we will not risk our lives for so-called pride."

Xian Lin'er's surprise deepened. This handsome young man had been involved in the underworld since he was eight years old. No wonder he had such remarkable insights.

Geniuses from traditional elite Soul Master families are often arrogant and haughty. Under the guidance and instruction of their elders, they rarely take the existence of Soul Guidance Devices seriously.

However, on the other hand, if he started mingling in society at the age of eight, how did he get the letter of introduction? Wouldn't the perfect catch he'd finally found be snatched away by someone else? Xian Lin'er became somewhat worried.

"Is your letter of introduction a sponsor for you? Given your young age and exceptional talent, I imagine many people would be willing to help you, right?"

Huo Yuhao understood the implication behind these words: wasn't he just trying to find out if there were any other forces behind him?

"No, not really. I've saved up some money over the years by gathering herbs and working as a mercenary. A year ago, I used that money to ask someone to help me get this. If you're talking about help, these seniors in the underworld have indeed taken good care of me."

Upon hearing this, Xian Lin'er finally felt relieved. She smiled and said, "If you don't have anywhere you want to go in the future, staying at the academy is fine too. Come on, I'll take you to the Ninth Experimental Zone."
