Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 136 Xianlin'er

Even though this experimental building, belonging to the Soul Guidance Department, is a place that the entire Shrek Academy attaches great importance to, and it is equipped with a lot of soul guidance devices for protection.

However, these mechanical soul tools were completely ineffective in front of Luo Chen.

Ordinary mechanical soul tools are basically trigger-based, meaning that if someone triggers the mechanism in a way that is not "prescribed," these soul tools will launch indiscriminate attacks.

This is a defensive measure developed by the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy over the years, in order to prevent criminals from breaking into the Soul Guidance Department building and stealing secrets through special means.

However, these types of trigger-type soul tools are not cheap to manufacture. Therefore, even in the soul tool department building of Shrek Academy, they are only equipped on the upper floors, where high-level soul tool masters reside.

These soul tools range from simple cannonballs to traps and even poison needles. The higher-ups of Shrek Academy's Soul Tool Department have put in a lot of effort to develop these trigger-type soul tools.

Although in Luo Chen's eyes these were nothing more than toys, which he could destroy with a single blow, he figured Shrek Academy wouldn't just casually place such powerful soul tools in the Soul Guidance Department building, because if things went wrong, it would mean losing both people and money.

In fact, it's not just Shrek Academy. Many academies and organizations that specialize in researching and manufacturing these kinds of extremely powerful soul tools also have fixed locations for their collection and storage. This is because the power of these soul tools is simply too great, and if they were obtained by criminals, they would definitely cause enormous damage to the continent.

Therefore, most of the trigger-type soul tools secretly installed in the long corridor in front of Luo Chen were just "toys" made by the high-ranking members of the Soul Guidance Department in their spare time.

After all, it's hard to say whether the power of this kind of soul tool can even break through the defense of a four-ring Soul Master, let alone a seven-ring Soul Saint like Luo Chen.

Only the powerful Soul Masters of Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department could set up their workplaces and offices on the upper floors of this Soul Guidance Department building.

For such powerful individuals, these trigger-type soul tools are even more useless. It should be noted that Shrek Academy's defenses and security measures have always been very thorough. Unless there are special circumstances, let alone an ordinary person, even a soul master with considerable strength would absolutely not be able to forcibly break through the security measures set up at Shrek City Gate and enter Shrek Academy silently.

Those who can forcefully break through the security system and enter Shrek Academy with their own strength, and even swagger in, are basically at the level of a nine-ring titled Douluo.

Luo Chen now has a very thorough understanding of Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy is backed by the Star Dou Great Forest, and both its main and side gates are guarded by Soul Douluo-level powerhouses of the Eighth Realm. It is basically impossible to force your way in, not to mention that Shrek Academy itself also has so-called detection arrays.

If any changes occur, the elders who are cultivating in seclusion in the Sea God Pavilion, the core of Shrek Academy, will surely be able to detect the anomaly immediately.

Therefore, the protective measures provided in the Soul Guidance Department building can not really be considered very serious; they are merely a formality in accordance with the rules.

However, if anyone thinks they can sneak into the Soul Guidance Department building and steal blueprints and research data for high-level soul tools, then Luo Chen can only say that the other party is still too young.

The reason why the high-ranking members of the Soul Guidance Department did not set up so many protective measures in the Soul Guidance Department building is because they simply do not need protective measures. If it comes down to strength, the strong members of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy may not necessarily lose to the Martial Soul Department.

For example, right now, as Luo Chen entered the mist state and stepped into the top floor of the Soul Guidance Department building, several auras locked onto him instantly. The owners of each aura were all far stronger than a seventh-ring Soul Saint, and there were at least five such auras!

However, Luo Chen, who was locked on by several auras, did not show the slightest panic. With his current cultivation level, if he completely concealed his aura and soul power fluctuations, even a titled Douluo-level expert might not be able to detect him.

He simply didn't want to be mistaken for a thief sneaking into the Soul Guidance Department building and thus be attacked. After all, even with his current physical abilities, taking a direct hit from a Soul Guidance fixed-position cannonball would be extremely unpleasant.

Without saying a word, Luo Chen, who had arrived at the nearly three-meter-tall metal door at the end of the corridor, revealed his aura. His unique aura, filled with a strong sense of death, suddenly rose up, and a chilling coldness instantly filled the entire corridor.

Since Luo Chen entered Shrek Academy, this was the first time he had not suppressed his aura and had released it openly, after all, Bei Bei had already emphasized this to him in the past.

Because Luo Chen's martial soul contains an intense, suffocating aura of death that can easily affect the minds of others, he is not allowed to release his aura freely within the academy unless there are special circumstances.

It will affect people, that's one aspect. But more importantly, it's the special nature of Luo Chen's own martial soul. The strong aura of death is something that ordinary people can't detect, but in the eyes of soul masters, especially powerful soul masters, it is undoubtedly the mark of an evil soul master.

The academy where Luo Chen is located is known as the academy with the most powerful people on the continent. Not to mention seven-ring Soul Saints and eight-ring Soul Douluos, there are countless nine-ring Title Douluo level experts.

This is why Bei Bei specifically emphasized that Luo Chen should suppress his aura as much as possible when he is cultivating and sparring. If he were noticed by a powerful person of this level and made a connection, it would inevitably be detrimental to Luo Chen's future cultivation.

Not only Bei Bei knew this, but Tang Ya also knew it. She had repeatedly told Luo Chen before coming to Shrek Academy, but in Luo Chen's opinion, this was still making a mountain out of a molehill.

For example, right now, after Luo Chen released his aura, which was filled with a strong sense of death, the several unfamiliar auras that were locking onto him instantly withdrew.

Even the office of the Dean of the Soul Guidance Department in front of Luo Chen was stirred up.

The next moment, almost the instant the metal door in front of Luo Chen opened, several figures with extremely tense and pale faces appeared in the corridor behind him. They were all staring at him cautiously, and their soul rings were revealed.

White, yellow, purple, black, but there was no red. Moreover, among these people, the highest cultivation level was only a six-ring Soul Emperor.

"Team leader, it's this kid! I tried to stop him, but he forced his way into our Soul Guidance Department building. I even suspect he's the same guy from earlier!"

Hearing the commotion, Luo Chen looked closely and saw that the person in the lead was the same teacher he had encountered in front of the teaching building. However, Luo Chen had used the Grim Reaper's Gaze on him to freeze him in place.

Luo Chen didn't expect that in just a short while, the other party had gathered so many people and searched through the Soul Guidance System Experiment Building floor by floor, eventually catching up to the top floor.

It should be noted that this Soul Guidance Department experimental building is several times larger than the Martial Soul Department teaching building. It is already the largest building in Shrek Academy, with a floor area of ​​almost 100,000 square meters.

It was precisely because of the sheer size of the building that the group had meticulously checked and investigated each floor before finally arriving here. At that moment, Luo Chen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Honestly, all I did was come to register with the dean of the Soul Guidance Department. Is it really necessary to make such a fuss over a student like me? Anyone who didn't know better would think I'd done something utterly heinous and outrageous!"

However, just as Luo Chen finished speaking, he suddenly realized something was wrong. If they were only looking for one student like him, why would they need to call so many people?

It's probably because he just released his aura, which alerted the teachers in the Soul Guidance Department's experimental building.

The more Luo Chen thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Looking at the tense and serious expressions on the faces of these people in front of him, it was almost as if they were dealing with a so-called ten-thousand-year-old soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Just as Luo Chen was feeling troubled by this, the metal door in front of him was suddenly opened, and a beautiful figure exuding maturity and composure walked out from it, looking at him with a smile.

"Wow, what a powerful life force! This strong aura... in terms of strength, it's probably almost on par with Dean Yan. Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department actually has a powerhouse of this level?"

Looking at the woman in front of him, whose appearance was no less than that of Old Song and whose demeanor was heroic, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He had previously used his life detection ability to investigate the office of the dean of the Soul Guidance Department. Luo Chen originally thought that it was Dean Qian Duoduo of the Soul Guidance Department inside. When he saw the door open, he almost blurted out the words he had prepared. He didn't expect that the old man who came out was not the one he remembered.

A beautiful woman whose aura was not much inferior to his senior brother, Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, surprised Luo Chen even though he knew that her real age was far beyond his imagination.

He had only ever seen such "peerless beauty" in Zhang Lexuan, his senior sister. He figured that the powerful woman in front of him must have been an exceptionally outstanding genius of Shrek Academy, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to reach the Title Douluo level at such a young age!

However, just as Luo Chen was pondering the woman's identity, several people in the corridor released their martial spirits and approached him, seemingly intending to capture him.

However, when faced with these Soul Guidance Department teachers whose highest cultivation level was only six-ring Soul Emperor, Luo Chen simply stared at them silently without making any reaction.

Putting aside the fact that he had this big shot who was suspected to be the dean of the Soul Guidance Department by his side, these teachers in front of him could not possibly have any effect on him based on his own abilities alone.

Let alone a six-ring Soul Emperor, even a seven-ring Soul Saint who has unleashed his true Martial Soul form, Luo Chen is still not afraid.

Just as Luo Chen was about to make a move, the people in front of him stopped and spoke to the woman beside him:

"Dean, we just sensed an unusually strong aura, possibly that of an evil soul master. If we're not mistaken, it's very likely the student beside you who illegally entered the Soul Guidance Department. What do you think…?"

None of them were fools. With the Dean of the Soul Guidance Department right beside them, why would they be so stupid as to forcibly capture someone who was suspected of being an evil soul master? Moreover, from the aura that the other party had just revealed, it was clear that the other party's strength was much greater than theirs!

Without absolute certainty, no one dares to confront a suspected evil spirit master head-on. If the other party is not an evil spirit master, that's fine, but if the other party is indeed an evil spirit master, then who knows what kind of abilities the other party possesses? If things go wrong, they might all die in the line of duty!

How much does it cost per month? If you can't afford it, why risk your life?

At this moment, upon seeing Dean Xian Lin'er of the Soul Guidance Department standing beside the student, the group's tense mood subsided considerably. After all, this was a Super Douluo whose strength and cultivation were both above level ninety-five!

Even on the entire continent, they are top-tier experts!

Therefore, even though they suspected Luo Chen of being an evil soul master, they no longer took him to heart. After all, with Xian Lin'er, a true powerhouse, present, even if Luo Chen was indeed an evil soul master who had not yet grown up, she could easily suppress him!

Upon hearing these words, the woman standing beside Luo Chen finally spoke after glancing at him. She waved her hand at the group and said:

"Hehe, don't be nervous. I know this child. He's just a little special because of his own martial soul. He's not some evil soul master. Besides, he really did come to enroll in the Soul Guidance Department. You don't need to stop him anymore when you see him in the future..."
