Douluo: I am an evil soul master, working from nine to five in the Tang Sect

Chapter 143 Soul Guide Cannon

Chapter 143 Soul Guide Cannon

“Have you seen me?”

Hearing that He Caitou’s words did not sound like a joke or a way of getting close to him, Luo Chen looked at the other person carefully and seriously. The next moment, a face that was about 70% similar to He Caitou in front of him appeared in Luo Chen’s mind.

That was when he had just awakened his martial spirit. He happened to meet a boy who was about four or five years older than him at the border of the empire. Like him, he went to the soul beast forest alone to obtain soul rings…

Even now, Luo Chen can still remember the indomitable will that emanated from that young man when he first met him.

However, Luo Chen did not have much contact with this young man. After all, he was still being wanted and hunted by the soldiers on the border of the empire. He only met him briefly in the Soul Beast Forest.

At this moment, after hearing what He Caitou said, Luo Chen suddenly realized and said tentatively:

“Brother He, now that you mention it, I really feel that you are somewhat familiar. Didn’t we meet in the Soul Beast Forest a long time ago? At that time, you seemed to be going to obtain the second soul ring…”

“Haha, as expected, I was wondering why your white hair and blood-red eyes looked so familiar, Junior Brother Luo. I didn’t expect it to be you. We are destined to meet!”

Seeing that Luo Chen admitted it, the sunny and cheerful smile on He Caitou’s face became even brighter. He Caitou still had an impression of this new junior brother in front of him. After all, it was rare to see such a charming appearance.

“So you two know each other. That’s easy to say. Cai Tou, from now on you will be responsible for teaching Luo Chen the basic knowledge about soul guides. Is that okay?”

Seeing that Luo Chen and Cai Tou had met each other so early, Huo Yuhao and Fan Yu were a little surprised and couldn’t help but sigh that this world is really small.

After Fan Yu finished giving the instructions, He Caitou smiled and nodded without refusing.

However, he was only teaching Luo Chen the basic knowledge about soul guides, which he could still do. After all, he was now a third-level soul guide and had studied in the field of soul guides for several years. He was proficient in the basic knowledge.

He had already memorized the basic knowledge of soul guides by heart, and even Huo Yuhao’s basic knowledge of soul guides was taught by him personally.

Now that his teacher has said so, he naturally has to shoulder the responsibility as a senior brother and teach the new junior brother in front of him.

However, with the previous experience of teaching Huo Yuhao, it would not take much effort to teach this junior brother who had just entered the Soul Guidance Department. However, the prerequisite was that the other party had enough talent and could understand what he was teaching.

Although He Caitou knew that the junior brother in front of him was a genius who was valued by the dean and his teacher, in his opinion, the talent as a soul master and the talent as a soul instructor were two completely different things.

A genius who can shine in the field of soul masters may not necessarily be able to shine with corresponding brilliance when he switches to the soul guidance system. After all, although the things involved in the martial soul system and the soul guidance system are similar, the two are still different in essence.

Therefore, He Caitou did not have any special opinion about the junior brother in front of him. He could feel the powerful soul power fluctuations emanating from the other party. In terms of soul power cultivation, Luo Chen was even further ahead than his senior brother.

However, in the soul guidance system, it is not only about the soul power cultivation that matters, but also depends on one’s own understanding of soul guidance devices. If the understanding is not enough, then there is no difference between you and ordinary people.

However, it was obvious that He Caitou underestimated Luo Chen in front of him. He did not understand the value of being jointly recommended by the two deans and assigned to study under Fan Yu.

“In that case, then you will be the one leading your two fellow apprentices in their studies. I believe that with your current accumulation, this won’t be a problem. I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.”

As he spoke, Fan Yu strode towards the upper floors of the soul guide test building, leaving Luo Chen and the other two standing in the test site.

Seeing Fan Yu acting like a hands-off boss and throwing the task of teaching Luo Chen directly to He Caitou, Luo Chen couldn’t help but twitch his lips. He just came to the Soul Guidance Department, and his teacher just ran away?

what is this?
However, compared to Luo Chen’s helplessness, Huo Yuhao and He Caitou on the side looked as if they were used to it. Obviously, this was not the first time Fan Yu had done this.

“No, Mr. Fanyu’s teaching method is a bit special. He just left us alone?”

Luo Chen still couldn’t help but complain to Huo Yuhao who was standing beside him.

Not to mention Moon En, who had been teaching him unique skills and the techniques of using soul power during his time on Sea God Island. Even Mu Jin, whom he met when he first entered Shrek Academy and studied in Class 9 of the External College, had a more serious teaching attitude than Fan Yu.

This is only his first day in the Soul Guidance Department and he hasn’t learned anything yet. Fan Yu actually lets He Caitou teach him the Soul Guidance Department knowledge on his behalf. Isn’t this a bit too irresponsible?
However, in response to Luo Chen’s words, Huo Yuhao smiled and explained:
“Brother Luo, don’t worry. Teacher Fan Yu is famous for being strict. No matter what time it is, he will never slack off in teaching. The teacher just saw that you just came to the Soul Guidance Department, so he asked you to learn the basic knowledge first, and then proceed to the next step of teaching.”

“It was the same when I first came to the Soul Guidance Department. Every day I was either learning the basics of soul guides or working hard in front of a furnace that was several thousand degrees Celsius. My goal was to quickly enter the soul guide field and lay a solid foundation for myself.”

“Only after I have learned the basics of soul guides, will Teacher Fanyu really teach me how to make soul guides. As the saying goes, you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time…”

Huo Yuhao was naturally aware of Luo Chen’s thoughts. After spending so much time with him, he knew his senior brother’s temperament very well. Even if Luo Chen didn’t say it, he knew that Luo Chen wanted to quickly get started with soul guides and conquer the soul guide system to the highest level in a short period of time. With his talent and understanding, this was not a difficult thing to do.

After all, more than three months ago, he watched Luo Chen learn the Xuan Yu Hand, which he had never even looked at before, from beginner to use, and then to mastery in just one night. The whole process was incredibly fast!

Furthermore, the Tang Sect’s unique skills and methods of controlling soul power and mental power that he had already learned were basically all taught by Luo Chen. He knew Luo Chen’s talent in “learning” very well.

It was for this reason that Huo Yuhao explained so much to Luo Chen. After all, in his opinion, it was very easy for Luo Chen to master the knowledge of the Soul Guidance System, but the Soul Guidance System was different from the Martial Soul System. Even if the theoretical knowledge had been memorized thoroughly, it still required a lot of practical operations to consolidate and understand it.

Only in this way can one truly grow into a qualified soul guide. This is a very long process. Even though he possesses a spiritual eye martial soul and his mental strength is far superior to that of ordinary people, it still took him nearly half a month to thoroughly master the basic knowledge of the soul guide system!
“Yuhao is right, Junior Brother Luo. Learning the basics of soul guides is not something that can be achieved overnight. It requires a lot of accumulation and experimentation. The more practical experiments you do, the more solid your foundation in soul guides will be.”

“Only when the foundation is solid can we improve more quickly in soul guides in the future. Practice is a process of continuous accumulation. The result is not important. What is important is the process.”

He Caitou also tried to persuade Luo Chen. He also saw that Luo Chen seemed very anxious in this regard, but… learning soul guides is not something that can be done in a hurry. The more anxious you are, the more likely problems will arise. Only by calming down and exploring little by little can you go further in the field of soul guides!

“Well, I understand. But Brother He, I saw that the soul guide shell you just fired seemed to be quite powerful. What level of soul guide is this?”

After listening to what Huo Yuhao and He Caitou said, Luo Chen realized that he was a little too anxious. This was only his first day in the Soul Guidance Department. Strictly speaking, it could not even be considered as truly learning about soul guides. After all, he was only here to observe the environment of the Soul Guidance Department.

Moreover, he still remembered what Xian Lin’er had said to him before. Now he still had to complete the tasks related to the martial soul system first. However, this was not a big deal. It was just a process of going through the freshman assessment.

“What level of soul guide?”

Hearing Luo Chen’s words, He Caitou and Huo Yuhao were both stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, and after thinking for a while, they spoke:
“This soul guide was made by Teacher Fan Yu himself. I don’t know what level it is, but what is certain is that even if a soul master at the level of a fourth-ring soul master were to be hit head-on by such a soul guide shell, the outcome would probably not be good…”

“If we measure it by power, this soul guide must be at level four. After all, a normal level four defensive soul guide cannot withstand such a terrifying blow. I guess only a level five defensive soul guide, similar to a soul guide shield, can completely withstand it…”

Regarding the absurdly large fixed-type soul guide cannon placed on the soul guide test site nearby, He Caitou gave Luo Chen the answer based on the data he personally operated and recorded.

“Fourth-level soul guide? But Brother He, I see that you are only at the level of a third-ring soul master. Shouldn’t a fourth-level soul guide be controlled and used by a fourth-ring soul master? This spans an entire realm of soul power cultivation. Can you use it, Brother He?”

Hearing He Caitou say this, Luo Chen couldn’t help but reveal a hint of surprise in his eyes. Although he had not yet truly learned the knowledge about soul guides, he was still clear about these basic knowledge that even ordinary people had heard of.

Logically speaking, only soul masters with three rings or above can use third-level soul guides, and only soul masters with four rings or above can control fourth-level soul guides. He Caitou is only a three-ring soul master, but he can actually use a fourth-level soul guide. This surprised Luo Chen.

But the next moment, He Caitou also smiled and shook his head, and quickly explained to Luo Chen:

“Brother Luo, you misunderstood. As a three-ring soul master, I can only control a level three soul guide, but who stipulated that the power of a level three soul guide can only reach level three?”

“Junior brother, you haven’t learned the basics of soul guides yet. It’s normal that you don’t understand these things. In our soul guide department, this soul guide cannon has always been an extremely special soul guide.”

“Its status among soul guides is also quite high, because among many types of soul guides, the power of the soul guide cannon has always been far ahead.”

“The original third-level soul guide cannon, which can only be used by soul masters above the third ring, is powerful enough to threaten soul masters at the fourth ring level, but it is definitely not capable of such great destructive power.”

“This giant soul guide cannon was specially made and improved by Teacher Fan Yu based on the ordinary soul guide cannon. The materials used to make the entire soul guide cannon have been upgraded, but the three soul guide core arrays engraved on it are still the same.”

“This also means that the soul power required to activate this large soul guide cannon is still the same as before, but its power after firing is greatly improved. In simple terms, this large soul guide cannon is a fourth-level soul guide device in the guise of a third-level soul guide device!”

“I said this, do you understand?”

Seeing Luo Chen’s curious look, He Caitou explained to him very patiently. He was not disgusted by Luo Chen’s thirst for knowledge. Instead, he admired it. After all, only those who are truly interested in soul guides can truly achieve something in soul guides.

“So that’s how it is. A level 3 soul guide weapon that can rival a level 4 soul guide weapon in terms of power? From this perspective, Teacher Fan Yu is really strong. He can actually create a level 4 soul guide cannon that can be used by a three-ring soul master.”

“But I feel that there is still room for improvement on this soul guide cannon. The most obvious place is the size and weight of this soul guide cannon. Although this soul guide cannon can be driven by a three-ring soul master, its power is much higher than that of an ordinary third-level soul guide cannon.”

“But this also cuts off the mobility of this soul guide cannon. If we improve the materials used to make this soul guide cannon and upgrade its internal soul guide core array to reduce the size and weight of this soul guide cannon, wouldn’t it be better?”
