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

Chapter 139 Money Galore

"Hehe, of course, senior sister. My friend might already be in our Soul Guidance Department."

As Luo Chen spoke, he couldn't help but think of Huo Yuhao's current situation.

With Huo Yuhao's current level of mental strength, he should be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort in his studies of the Soul Guidance System.

He remembered that in the original story, Huo Yuhao, who was only a three-ring Soul Master, was able to learn all the basic knowledge of the Soul Guidance System in just a few months and become a second-level Soul Guidance Master.

If Huo Yuhao had entered the Soul Guidance Department to study as before, he might already be a Soul Guidance Master.

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Xian Lin'er couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and ask him:

"Hmm? We have such a genius in our Soul Guidance Department? I don't know that. Xiao Chen, don't try to fool your senior sister. I know almost all the Soul Guidance Masters in the department, and I don't think there's a genius student like you mentioned."

Xian Lin'er racked her brains for a long time, but still couldn't think of a Soul Guidance Department student who could rival Luo Chen in talent.

The current Soul Guidance Department's several Soul Guidance Masters and apprentices were basically selected by her personally, a true case of survival of the fittest.

Regardless of whether the students in the Soul Guidance Department were selected from those eliminated by the Martial Soul Department, she kept some of the more talented or persevering students in the Soul Guidance Department.

As for the other students who lacked talent and perseverance and were simply coasting along in the Soul Guidance Department, she showed them no mercy and "invited" them all out of the department.

Currently, all the Soul Masters and apprentices remaining in the Soul Guidance Department were personally selected by her. It can be said that among all the people she knows, not a single one meets the conditions that Luo Chen mentioned.

Therefore, Xian Lin'er was also very confused by Luo Chen's words. If there really was such a talented genius in the Soul Guidance Department, how could she not know?

"Senior sister, how could I possibly lie to you? I won't hide it from you either. The genius I'm talking about is actually my junior brother in the Tang Sect. His martial soul is a spirit-attribute spirit eye."

"If we're just talking about mental strength, he's probably better than all the students in the outer academy, except for me, of course."

As he spoke, Luo Chen looked at Xian Lin'er in front of him, observing her reaction.

As soon as Luo Chen finished speaking, Xian Lin'er's expression did change slightly.

"A spirit-attribute martial soul, the Spirit Eye? That's quite rare. I never expected our academy to have a student with such a talented physical martial soul?"

"But Xiao Chen, are you mistaken? If the junior brother you're talking about, who's also a Tang Sect disciple, really has this kind of talent, how could he possibly be studying in our Soul Guidance Department? Shouldn't he have been poached by the Martial Soul Department long ago?"

Clearly, Xian Lin'er was somewhat surprised by the mention of a true martial soul, but she remained skeptical about the fact that a student with such talent as Luo Chen would come to study in the Soul Guidance Department.

After all, that's a top-tier physical spirit. The Spirit Eye Spirit represents both eyes and brain. If a student has such a top-tier physical spirit, how could the Spirit System easily let them go and allow them to enter the Spirit Guidance System for study?

Moreover, Xian Lin'er hasn't received any information about this. Could it be that the other party is simply studying in the Soul Guidance Department and hasn't actually joined it?

Hearing Xian Lin'er's question, Luo Chen shook his head. He didn't know either, but it didn't matter. He would find out by asking Huo Yuhao later.

Just as Luo Chen was about to say something, an unusually familiar aura appeared in his mental perception.

"Huh? Speak of the devil, and he appears! What a coincidence! Wait, there's another familiar guy here..."

Sensing that all-too-familiar aura, Luo Chen couldn't help but twitch his lips. It was truly a case of what he'd been told to do come true! He'd just been thinking of finding Huo Yuhao to find out what was going on, but unexpectedly, the other party had arrived at the Soul Guidance Department's experimental building, and...

"Junior brother, what did you just say? What Cao Cao?"

With her cultivation level as a Super Douluo, Xian Lin'er naturally heard Luo Chen's murmured words and couldn't help but ask him a question.

However, Luo Chen shook his head and replied with a smile:

"That's not important, Senior Sister. Didn't you just ask me about that junior brother? Well, he's here now, probably to see you too. You'll find out soon enough."

"Oh? Junior brother, that genius you mentioned is already on his way? That's great! I'd like to see if your junior brother is really as monstrous as you describe!"

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Xian Lin'er's face lit up with joy. The next moment, she released her spiritual power and began to explore the Soul Guidance Department's experimental building. Soon after, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Good heavens, this is truly a little monster! At such a young age, to possess such formidable mental strength is truly remarkable!"

Clearly, Xian Lin'er had also noticed Huo Yuhao's presence. Seeing Xian Lin'er's excited expression, Luo Chen couldn't help but shake his head.

He certainly understood why Xian Lin'er was so excited at this moment. After all, Huo Yuhao's current soul power cultivation was only at the first ring, but his spiritual power had already reached a level that was at least comparable to a high-level Soul Master!

Even compared to Tai'an, his spiritual power is not much different. However, in terms of personal combat strength, Huo Yuhao is still unable to compete with a monster like Tai'an who possesses a peak beast martial soul.

While his physical spirit was indeed powerful, that was only in terms of mental strength cultivation. Before Huo Yuhao broke through to the second-ring Great Soul Master and awakened that ultimate ice-attribute spirit, Huo Yuhao's talent could only be described as superior, and had not yet reached the level that could truly be called a monster.

squeak--

As Luo Chen and Xian Lin'er were talking, the door to the Dean of the Soul Guidance Department's office was gently pushed open. A sturdy figure, whose aura was only slightly weaker than Xian Lin'er's, walked in first, followed by two others.

The shorter figure was Huo Yuhao, whom Luo Chen had sensed using his life force detection. However, the figure beside him, whose cultivation was almost on par with Du Weiren, puzzled Luo Chen.

"Yuhao!"

Upon seeing Huo Yuhao enter the office of the Dean of the Soul Guidance Department, Luo Chen greeted him cheerfully.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Huo Yuhao was startled, then looked at the handsome figure sitting on the sofa beside him with a mixture of surprise and delight, and couldn't help but respond with joy:

"Brother Luo, what are you doing here?"

When Xian Lin'er used her spiritual power to probe him, he sensed that there was a terrifyingly powerful being on the top floor of the Soul Guidance Department's experimental building. However, he never expected that there was not only such a person who seemed to be the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, but also Luo Chen, the protector of the Tang Sect.

This surprised Huo Yuhao, but not entirely. After all, Luo Chen was elusive and could be encountered anywhere.

He also knew why he hadn't sensed Luo Chen's presence earlier: Luo Chen's martial soul had a special additional ability, which was to shield him from mental detection to a certain extent.

Given such abilities, it's perfectly normal that this spirit-attribute Soul Master failed to detect the other party.

However, seeing Luo Chen in the dean's office of the Soul Guidance Department still surprised Huo Yuhao. After all, if he remembered correctly, Luo Chen was a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department. Why would he come to the Soul Guidance Department?

Could it be that they've come to visit?

Before Huo Yuhao could figure it out, the burly figure in front of him greeted Luo Chen in a familiar manner:

"Oh, I never expected that the little monster from the academy would actually come to visit our Soul Guidance Department today. That's quite a surprise."

In response, Luo Chen smiled and looked at the robust old man before him, whose hair was as thick as pine needles and who exuded masculine energy, and replied:

"Uncle Qian, I'm here to study in the Soul Guidance Department under the instructions of my teacher. You won't be unwelcome, will you?"

Yes, Luo Chen already knew the identity of the burly old man in front of him. He was Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy and also Xian Lin'er's nominal husband.

How could Luo Chen not recognize such a powerful being whose cultivation was also at the Title Douluo level? Although he had not interacted with the other party before, Luo Chen had met Qian Duoduo on Seagod Island.

"Haha, how could that be? I welcome you with open arms! It's rare for our Soul Guidance Department to have a genius like you studying here. Even if it were Elder Mu's order, I wouldn't have any objections if you wanted to come to the Soul Guidance Department yourself!"

"But today is truly a double celebration! Let me introduce you, this is..."

Just as Qian Duoduo was about to introduce Huo Yuhao, who was standing next to Luo Chen, Luo Chen interrupted her and said:

"Uncle Qian, why don't you introduce the person next to you? This is my junior brother. How could I not know him? I even enrolled with Yuhao at the same time, right, Yuhao?"

As he spoke, Luo Chen smiled and looked at Huo Yuhao standing next to Qian Duoduo.

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, almost everyone present simultaneously turned their gaze to Huo Yuhao, whom Luo Chen was staring at. When Qian Duoduo looked at Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao nodded emphatically and then explained:

"It's like this, Dean Qian, Teacher Fan Yu, Brother Luo is a senior brother I knew before I joined Shrek Academy, when I was still a disciple of the Tang Sect. It was because of him that I joined Shrek Academy."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's reply, Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er, and the others present were all taken aback, as they had not known this beforehand.

However, despite her surprise, after a moment of stunned silence, Qian Duoduo reverted to her usual carefree demeanor and said with a smile:

"Since you are fellow disciples, then I apologize for my abruptness. However, I did not expect that you would both be disciples of the Tang Sect. With you two little monsters around, it seems that the revival of the Tang Sect is truly hopeful."

"By the way, Xiao Chen, since Yu Hao doesn't need to introduce you, I still need to introduce this one. After all, when you study the Soul Guidance Department in the future, you'll inevitably need to consult my disciple..."

As she spoke, Qian Duoduo looked at the middle-aged man beside her who hadn't spoken yet. He noticed that the man's hair was gray, just like Qian Duoduo's, but his resolute eyes and meticulous demeanor were exactly the same.

"This is my personal disciple, and also one of the few high-level Soul Masters in our Soul Guidance Department. He was originally a Soul Douluo with an eight-ring cultivation level, but after being equipped with a Soul Guidance Device, he is able to fight against a nine-ring Title Douluo. His strength and aptitude are no less than mine, haha!"

After Qian Duoduo finished his introduction, the middle-aged man named Fan Yu nodded to Luo Chen, clearly indicating that he was already aware of Luo Chen's identity and situation.

However, at that moment, Xian Lin'er looked at Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu, and asked them with some confusion:

"Speaking of which, you two, when did you secretly bring this little monster here to learn about soul tools without telling me? If Xiao Chen hadn't told me just now, I wouldn't even know there was such a genius in our soul tool department!"

As she spoke, Xian Lin'er's gaze swept over Huo Yuhao, but apart from his spiritual power and soul power cultivation, she couldn't discern anything else.

"His mental strength is quite good; he seems like a fine gem. It's just that his soul power is a bit low..."

With just one glance, Xian Lin'er made a general assessment of Huo Yuhao's situation and nodded to herself in approval.

No wonder the other person, who is clearly a martial soul system student, came to study in her soul guidance system. It must be because of their own martial soul. After all, a spirit-attribute martial soul can only absorb spirit-attribute soul rings.

But even in the Star Dou Great Forest, spirit-attribute soul beasts aren't easy to find...
