Chapter 140 Greetings
Shrek Academy, Soul Guidance Department Experimental Building.

With the help of Deans Xian Lin’er and Qian Duoduo, Luo Chen and Huo Yuhao successfully registered their information in the Soul Guidance Department. Under the leadership of Fan Yu, they came to the Soul Guidance Equipment Testing Site of the Soul Guidance Department.

With the recommendation of the dean and vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, Luo Chen’s treatment in the department is higher than anyone else. Even though Fan Yu is a person whose status is second only to the two deans in the Soul Guidance Department, he has to be on high alert when facing this monster, Luo Chen.

He had heard of this student a long time ago. First, he relied on his second-ring cultivation to defeat a three-ring Soul Master who was four years older than him. Then, after being brought to the Sea God Island by Master Xuan, his strength grew explosively again.

There are even rumors that Luo Chen can fight across levels in the inner courtyard. It’s not the traditional kind of fighting across several levels of soul power, but fighting across several major realms!

When he had just broken through to the three-ring Soul Master level, he was able to easily defeat the inner courtyard students who had the five-ring Soul King level. And after he broke through to the four-ring Soul Sect level at lightning speed, he even defeated the two leading figures in the inner courtyard in one fell swoop not long ago!
Although Fan Yu was not sure about the authenticity of the news, he could already tell something from the attitudes of the two deans towards this student today.

If he did not have extraordinary talent, how could Luo Chen, a first-year student who had not even completed the freshman assessment, be so valued by two title-level deans that they would even arrange him to be their disciple?

This made Fan Yu develop a strong interest in this seemingly ordinary student. This was not only because of his curiosity about this student, but also because of what his teacher Qian Duoduo said to him.

He knew his teacher’s personality. He was notoriously strict. Although he seemed careless on the surface, he insisted on doing everything to perfection and would not allow any flaws.

It was for this reason that Fan Yu was so curious about Luo Chen. After all, in the past, no student could have such a high evaluation from his teacher…

“The lowest limit is Titled Douluo level? What an interesting little fellow…”

Looking at the new disciple in front of him whose aura and strength were completely undetectable, Fan Yu couldn’t help but chuckle. If the other party’s talent was really as terrifying as his teacher said, then he should be the one who should be nervous.

It is indeed a distressing task to figure out how to carve such a fine piece of jade.

But before that, he still needed to do a simple test on this new disciple to see if he really possessed that terrifying talent…

Thinking of this, Fan Yu brought Luo Chen and Huo Yuhao with him to the place where he usually tested his soul guides.

Although Fan Yu did not say a word along the way, Luo Chen and Huo Yuhao behind him were communicating all the time.

Luo Chen did not feel any pressure because of his switch to the Soul Guidance Department. To him, both the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department were essentially the same. He was able to learn all the basic knowledge about the Martial Soul Department in two months, and also read most of the secret books in the library.

With such a terrifying understanding that seemed to be assisted by God, it was not a difficult task for him to fully master the basic knowledge of the soul guidance system. It just depended on how much time he was willing to devote.

What Luo Chen is most interested in right now is Huo Yuhao who is beside him. What progress has Huo Yuhao made in the soul guidance system? After all, according to Dean Qian Duoduo, Huo Yuhao has been studying the knowledge about soul guides with Fan Yu for a long time.

“Yuhao, what level of soul master are you now?”

After some pleasantries, Luo Chen went straight to the point and asked the junior brother in front of him.

Huo Yuhao did not hide anything about this and openly told them about his current situation:

“Level 2. The teacher said that my current soul guidance knowledge has reached the level where I can make level 3 soul guidance tools, which means I am a level 3 soul guide. However, because I have not yet obtained my second soul ring, I am only a level 2 soul guide now.”

“I see. That’s right. Although your current spiritual power is very high, your soul power level is indeed a big problem. However, I see that your current soul power is almost reaching the threshold of level 20. When do you plan to obtain the second soul ring?”

Luo Chen was not surprised to hear Huo Yuhao’s reply. After all, soul engineers were like this, similar to soul masters. Although their qualifications and accumulation had reached the standard for “promotion”, in order to completely complete the “promotion”, they still needed something basic as support, and that was soul power!
Whether it is in the production of soul guides or in the use of soul guides, it is inseparable from the support of the soul power realm. It can be said that the level of a soul guide is almost proportional to his own cultivation.

A soul master with a high soul power level may not necessarily become a high-level soul instructor, but a soul master with a low soul power level will definitely not be able to become a high-level soul instructor. The fact is just so cruel.

Therefore, even though Huo Yuhao’s basic knowledge in the soul guidance system has been accumulated and improved to the level sufficient to be promoted to a “third-level soul guide”, he is still stuck at the level of a second-level soul guide because of his own cultivation.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, Huo Yuhao’s situation was special. Even though Luo Chen was aware of his current talent and that he was able to break through to level 20 in one fell swoop, he couldn’t absorb soul rings as easily as Huo Yuhao did.

The second soul ring of the Spirit Eye Martial Soul is a huge turning point for Huo Yuhao. It not only represents the awakening of his second martial soul, but also determines the upper limit of his own talent!

If he fails to awaken his second martial soul successfully, then Huo Yuhao’s upper limit in the path of a soul master will definitely be greatly reduced. A control-type soul master with a spiritual-attribute spirit-eye martial soul and an attack-type soul master with an ultimate ice-attribute martial soul, the starting points of the two are quite different.

After experiencing the horror of the peak martial spirit in Tai’an, Luo Chen was looking forward to the awakening of Huo Yuhao’s second martial spirit. Which one was stronger, the Ice Emperor Scorpion of the ultimate ice or the Titan Giant Ape of the ultimate power? Luo Chen was also very curious about this result. Logically speaking, the ultimate attribute was overwhelming, but what if the other party also had the ultimate attribute?

This is hard to say…

But there is one thing Luo Chen can confirm, whether it is Huo Yuhao’s ultimate ice martial soul that is about to awaken, or Tai’an’s ultimate power martial soul, in terms of level, they cannot be compared with his Death Scythe martial soul.

The so-called ultimate attribute martial soul, no matter what, has only reached the extreme in a certain attribute, and ultimately it cannot break through that boundary. However, his Death Scythe martial soul has truly surpassed the boundaries of mortals and stepped into the realm of “God”.

Luo Chen, who possesses the power of death, naturally also masters some of the laws of death. As a mortal, he is exposed to laws that only gods can access. This also allows Luo Chen to gain a lot of insights.

The power of law is an existence that transcends all basic attributes. What’s more, his law belongs to the power of law of the great world of the heavens where the Scythe of Death is located. It is far beyond the reach of the law of this Douluo plane.

Therefore, when facing the so-called ultimate martial soul, peak martial soul, or top martial soul, no matter what level the opponent’s ability has reached or what level the attributes have reached, Luo Chen can easily suppress it.

Just like Tai’an’s Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul which possesses ultimate power, although it surpasses Luo Chen of the same realm in basic strength, that is when Luo Chen did not use the power of death.

Once Luo Chen draws on the part of the Law of Death that he has mastered, it is estimated that even if Tai’an fully unleashes the ultimate power of the Titan Giant Ape, he will not be able to shake the power of the Law of Death controlled by Luo Chen in the slightest.

Luo Chen never took the so-called martial soul restraint to heart, because he knew that no matter what kind of martial soul it was, whether it was an ultimate martial soul or a god-level martial soul, in essence, it was just within the scope of “martial soul”. Before breaking through the god realm, it would not cause any waves in front of his scythe of death.

Because Luo Chen had already discovered one thing, that with the power of the law of death, he could even use the awakened scythe of death to easily break the opponent’s martial soul!
If it was a soul master with a beast spirit like Ma Xiaotao, it would be okay. The beast spirit is possessed by the soul master, and it can even be said that they are one and the same. No matter what Luo Chen is capable of, he cannot use the Scythe of Death to directly shatter the opponent’s spirit, because once the opponent’s spirit is shattered, the opponent will not be able to survive.

But if it were an ordinary weapon spirit master, facing Luo Chen’s Scythe of Death, it would probably be a completely one-sided situation.

In terms of the quality of martial souls, Luo Chen has never seen a soul master who can rely on his own martial soul to forcibly compete with the Scythe of Death in his hand. After all, no matter how good the martial soul of a weapon-type soul master is, it is just constructed by soul power.

But his Scythe of Death is a real “weapon”, it can even be called a divine weapon. It’s just that it is still in a state of slow evolution, otherwise Luo Chen would not be able to conceal the specific situation of his “Scythe of Death”.

You should know that the reason why his Scythe of Death is called a Martial Soul is because there is no soul master on the continent like him, whose awakened Martial Soul is the “weapon” that he is born with.

Therefore, Luo Chen could only regard this Scythe of Death as his own martial soul. After all, he couldn’t say that his martial soul was the god of death. Even if the soul skills given to him by the soul rings he absorbed had nothing to do with his own “Scythe of Death”, he couldn’t expose the true situation of his martial soul.

If outsiders knew that his so-called “Scythe of Death” was not his martial soul, but the “weapon” attached to the real martial soul in his body, then he would probably be captured for research.

After all, this situation has completely exceeded the definition of “Soul Master” in Douluo Continent. No matter whether it is a weapon soul master, a beast soul master, or a body soul master, there has never been a soul master like Luo Chen, whose awakened soul also comes with a “weapon” bound to the soul.

Even its grade is ridiculously high, far beyond one’s own cultivation level. As for those extremely weird additional abilities, there is no need to say more. Luo Chen himself felt suffocated when he saw them. If this were really known to the public, what would happen?
Therefore, even if Luo Chen knew that his true martial soul was not this “Scythe of Death”, he still could not expose it. God knows what kind of disaster it would bring to him, or to this world, if he exposed his true martial soul before this “Scythe of Death” recovered to its heyday!
That was something Luo Chen could not imagine. The power that the Scythe of Death possessed at its peak was so great that not only the so-called gods in this world, but even the “transcendents” that Luo Chen knew of could not compare to it.

It’s completely an existence in another dimension!

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Luo Chen would generally not actually use the special abilities and the power over death given to him by the Scythe of Death. Instead, he would constantly sharpen his hardware and rely on the hardware to improve himself.

However, the life-absorbing ability granted to him by the Death Scythe martial spirit is indeed a magical tool for cultivation. Simply by absorbing the vitality, the Death Scythe can naturally evolve, and in turn feed back to him energy and improve his cultivation.

This is also the reason why Luo Chen is so confident in his cultivation. As long as the life force of this world has not been completely exhausted, his improvement in cultivation will not stop.

Even though Huo Yuhao is the son of the plane of this continent, he cannot compare with him in terms of the level of cultivation.

Three full months had passed since the start of the school year. Although Huo Yuhao’s soul power was still at the first-ring level, his mental power had skyrocketed and reached a level comparable to that of a five-ring soul king.

Although Luo Chen also wanted to know how Huo Yuhao achieved such a terrifying improvement in his mental power, he would not ask. After all, he had basically uncovered all of the other party’s secrets, and he was too embarrassed to ask again.

However, the reason why Huo Yuhao’s spiritual power could be improved so quickly must be related to the residual soul of Alex, which was essentially a god-level soul, residing in his mind.

If Luo Chen was envious of the various abilities of this peak power in another world at the beginning, then now it seems that it is just like that. After all, the undead magic constructed by killing is not as good as his pure law of death…
