Chapter 245 Soul Master Project.
"Joint attack! Prepare!" Elder Sun roared, and the hundred six-ring Soul Emperors, still not quite proficient, pulled out strangely shaped small soul cannons from their storage soul tools.
"Transmission power 100%!"
As soon as Elder Sun gave the command, a huge silver cannon barrel appeared on his shoulder. This heavy soul cannon was two meters long, with a caliber of 250 millimeters.
Driven by the hundred Soul Emperors, beams of white light converged from the strangely shaped small soul cannons towards Elder Sun in the sky, rapidly filling the huge silver barrel with immense soul power.
The next instant, a domineering white beam of light suddenly shot out from the soul cannon barrel, reaching Jin Qi almost instantly.
Upon closer inspection, one would see that this beam of light was composed of eight smaller beams, its aura extremely imposing.
The golden tiger shadow on the Golden Tiger Soul Blade became clearer, accompanied by the flickering of the ninth black soul ring.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Soaring Demon Tiger Slash!"
The Tiger Soul Blade in Jin Qi's hand began to expand, its size increasing dozens of times, the golden tiger shadow on the blade materializing.
The wind and clouds changed color; high above, the Tiger Soul Blade tore through the void, leaving a long golden tail, colliding fiercely with the incoming silver pillar of light. In an instant, an unparalleled energy storm surged from the sky, clearing away the clouds within a thousand meters radius.
Elder Xuan's expression changed drastically; he flicked his hand, creating an earthen-yellow energy shield to block the terrifying shockwave descending upon him.
"Old Jin, do you want to die? Who told you to use the Ninth Soul Skill? Do you have a grudge against Old Sun?"
Elder Li pointed at the sky and cursed.
Elder Jin slowly descended to the ground, his former arrogance completely gone. "If I had used other soul skills, I might not have been able to withstand that attack."
"Hiss~! You're the strongest Super Douluo among us in terms of attack power, and even you say that?" Elder Qin looked at Elder Jin in surprise.
"Why don't you try it too!" Elder Jin said with a sneer.
"Forget it, forget it! I'd better not go." Elder Qin waved his hands repeatedly.
Elder Sun walked out of the Soul Guidance Formation with a smug look on his face and said with a smile, "These linked Soul Guidance Devices are really damn awesome. Dean Xian, Dean Qian, give me another two or three thousand sets, preferably equipping our entire city defense army's Soul Master Legion."
"That's all for now, just these hundred sets. The core formation inside is too intricate; we simply can't mass-produce them."
Xian Lin'er said helplessly. Although they had the blueprints, there were probably only about forty or fifty people in the entire Soul Guidance Department who could successfully inscribe and create the core formation of linked Soul Guidance Devices. Even working overtime, they could only produce two or three finished products a day at best; several thousand was simply beyond their capabilities.
"That's such a pity." Time Douluo Shi Xing said with some disappointment.
Shi Xing, the top leader of the city's defense forces, was primarily responsible for the security of Shrek City. Seeing a soul tool that could allow an ordinary Title Douluo to fight a Super Douluo of the Assault type to a draw, how could he not be excited?
"As you all have seen, soul tools have reached a point where we can no longer afford to ignore them. Although they may not be able to defeat those stronger than Super Douluos head-on, being able to stop them is already quite remarkable. Do any of you elders have any objections to the decisions discussed at the previous Sea God Pavilion council?"
Elder Song stepped forward. As the mother of Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, she naturally had to speak up for them.
"No objections. We agree to the Soul Tool Department's proposal. The Soul Tool Department will expand its student enrollment from now on." Jin Qi looked at the elders and took the lead in representing them.
"Although we agree to the expansion, the specific details still need to be discussed." Elder Li stepped forward and said.
"Good! In that case, let's all return to the Sea God Pavilion to discuss it! Shi Xing, you will lead the city's defense forces back to camp." Elder Mu said calmly.
The Sea God Pavilion Council then convened again. After several hours of discussion and analysis, the high-ranking members finalized their future development direction.
Following the advice of the elders and Wu Xuan, Shrek Academy decided to establish three Soul Master Regiments over the next two to three years. The first regiment, named the Martial God Soul Master Regiment, consisted of two hundred members, all with cultivation levels at least at the Soul Emperor level.
They were equipped with level six soul guidance cannons and level six soul guidance rays, and their customized soul guidance devices were all designed to enhance speed and attack power. They were to be equipped with linked defensive and offensive soul guidance devices as soon as possible.
The regiment leader was Xian Lin'er, and the vice-leader was Qian Duoduo. Eleven resident and nominal Title Douluos were also assigned.
The other two regiments included the Heavy Artillery Soul Master Regiment, equipped with various types of soul guidance cannons and fixed-mount soul guidance shells. Since the soul masters in this group were all around the fourth or fifth ring level, the total strength was one thousand.
The goal was to maximize the movement speed of these heavy cannons while maintaining powerful firepower. The training focus was to enable the Soul Masters of the Heavy Artillery Soul Master Corps to deploy Soul Guidance positions as quickly as possible, regardless of terrain or circumstances.
The final Soul Master Corps was called the Turret Soul Master Corps. It consisted of 1,500 Soul Masters, whose cultivation levels were relatively lower.
They were equipped with only one type of Soul Guidance Device: the other large devices Wu Xuan had brought back—all-terrain detection Soul Guidance Devices and all-terrain self-propelled artillery turrets. Since each device could only carry a maximum of five people, 300 units would be deployed.
The three Soul Master Corps together comprised 2,700 Soul Masters, including at least ten Title Douluo. It could be said that the shock caused by the Soul Guidance Devices Wu Xuan brought back made Shrek Academy truly realize the terrifying boost Soul Guidance Devices provided to low- to mid-level combat power.
Top-tier combat power might not have much need for Soul Guidance Devices, but they were extremely useful to low- to mid-level combat power.
Thus, by the time Wu Xuan left the Sea God Pavilion, the sky was already dotted with stars.
"A bunch of top experts from the mainland holding a meeting like they're buying vegetables at a market, it's unbearable to watch." Wu Xuan muttered speechlessly as he walked out of the Sea God Pavilion square.
"You brat, you're not happy about being invited to this high-level meeting? You know, even Le Xuan didn't attend this meeting." A muffled voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Hey~! Elder Xuan, why are you eavesdropping on my conversation!" Wu Xuan said, somewhat exasperated.
"I wasn't eavesdropping, I just wanted to tell you that Xiao Xiao is my disciple after all, so don't let her down." Elder Xuan said with a stern face.
"How could I? I'll be going back with Xiao Xiao to meet her parents when I have time!" Wu Xuan said with a faint smile.
"Meet her parents? How far have things progressed between you two?" Elder Xuan was suddenly taken aback by Wu Xuan's words.
"Everything that needs to be progressed has progressed. By the way, Xiao Xiao broke through to level 50 last night, and I plan to take her to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for a Soul Ring tomorrow." Wu Xuan said.
"Level 50 already? So fast? According to my calculations, it should take at least another half month!" Elder Xuan looked at Wu Xuan in surprise.
"Then don't worry about it, he's broken through anyway."
"Alright, I'll make time to go with you tomorrow." Elder Xuan said, taking a swig of wine.
"Okay, let's meet at the academy gate then." Wu Xuan waved goodbye and took his leave.
He was going home late tonight, so he needed to be discreet, since he had to go out hunting for spirit rings tomorrow.
