Chapter 164: Accidents at High Altitudes
Since Lin Qinghan had never been to Dragon City, he had to take out a map of the Douluo Continent and fly to an altitude of nearly 10,000 meters to reach the approximate location of Dragon City.
"Is your innate domain really that exaggerated?"
Xue Di floated beside Lin Qinghan, using her mental power to sense their surroundings, and was immediately shocked.
Xue Di was currently connected to Lin Qinghan through his mental connection soul skill, so she also understood the abilities of his spiritual stance.
Based on what she sensed now, she speculated that Lin Qinghan's innate domain not only allowed detection but also manipulation of everything around him.
With this ability, mental binding, suppression, defense, and other functions could all be achieved.
Combined with the several abnormal soul skills she knew Lin Qinghan possessed, Xue Di finally understood why his combat power was so outrageous.
If she had Lin Qinghan's current configuration, surviving a heavenly tribulation would be a piece of cake—and even becoming a god wouldn't be impossible.
"Haha, just luck," Lin Qinghan smiled. He had always known how abnormal his spiritual stance was. Now that Xue Di was connected to him spiritually, she could feel his spiritual power at its peak.
Lin Qinghan hadn't deliberately hidden his spiritual stance ability, so it was normal for Xue Di to sense it.
"Why don't I have such luck?"
Xue Di looked at Lin Qinghan with some frustration. In terms of reincarnation luck, she was considered lucky too—after all, she was born of the Ice and Snow Girl race.
But she still couldn't compare with Lin Qinghan. Although Lin Qinghan didn't have any special bloodline, his martial soul was extremely unique.
Even the Silver Dragon King had been drawn to the special nature of Lin Qinghan's martial soul.
Lin Qinghan and Xue Di chatted casually. The two were now allies bound by contract, so building a stronger relationship was a good thing.
"Wait! Be careful!"
Just as they were talking, Lin Qinghan suddenly sensed a dangerous aura locking onto them.
He immediately shielded Xue Di and fully activated his spiritual stance, instantly locating a detection-type soul guide not far away.
At the same time, his spiritual stance probed downward and detected numerous soul guide corps below.
The source of the threatening aura was a massive high-energy compression array linked soul guide.
"Damn it. I thought there wouldn't be any detection soul guides at 10,000 meters altitude. I didn't activate the spiritual projection, and for the sake of speed, I didn't even expand the spiritual stance over a large area in the beginning."
Lin Qinghan almost wanted to slap himself. He had forgotten that, due to his own actions, the Sun Moon Empire was now hostile toward the three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent.
To always remain on guard and to be ready for attack, the borders of the Sun Moon Empire were now packed with soul guide corps.
And from the looks of it, they had just encountered one of the more powerful units.
"Still, if this had been a few months ago, I might've been in trouble. But now... they're the ones in for it."
Although their presence was exposed, it didn't seem like their appearances had been recorded. Detection-type soul guides were sensitive to soul masters, but generally lacked camera functions.
So once Lin Qinghan figured out the situation, he deployed a spiritual projection to mask both his and Xue Di's appearance.
"Are we surrounded by a legion?"
Through Lin Qinghan's mental sharing, Xue Di also saw the soul guide legion below and her face changed.
Recently, she had been learning about soul guides and had gained some knowledge of large high-energy compression array soul guides.
This type of soul guide, under the right conditions and with enough soul masters, could even withstand attacks from Ultimate Douluos—and could launch attacks at the Ultimate Douluo level.
"It seems so. This time it's my fault. I've been a little arrogant lately. I thought flying at 10,000 meters would be foolproof. I didn't expect this."
Lin Qinghan nodded, though his tone didn't carry much urgency or concern.
These soul guides were indeed powerful. In the original story, a device the size of a palace, combined with a level 9 fixed soul guide shell, could kill two Ultimate Douluos in a row.
If the two hadn't received help from the protagonist, they wouldn't have even had the chance to say their last words.
But with the soul guide army's mobility, there was no way they could capture Lin Qinghan without an ambush.
And now, he had two small worlds: the spiritual world and the undead half-plane. Worst case, he could just hide inside them.
These linked soul guides didn't have the power to shatter space doors—at best, they could slightly interfere with them.
"Hide for now. Things might get a bit dangerous."
Lin Qinghan brought Xue Di slightly lower in altitude. At the same time, he pulled out two level 9 fixed soul guide shells from his storage ring.
"What about you?"
Xue Di looked at Lin Qinghan in disbelief, her tone full of emotion.
She knew he had something like a small world and could escape inside to save himself. But if he stayed outside, the portal entrance would remain in the same place, making it easy for the enemy to block it.
In fact, the two of them were already relatively safe, thanks to the concealment from Lin Qinghan's spiritual projection. Lin Qinghan just didn't want to leave it at that—he wanted to teach the soul guide army a lesson.
But in Xue Di's eyes, this act was to protect her. In a moment of danger, Lin Qinghan had chosen to stay behind and send her to safety. This touched Xue Di deeply, especially since her mindset had become somewhat childlike.
"I'll be fine. Actually, never mind. You stay in my spiritual world for now."
Seeing Xue Di moved to tears, Lin Qinghan didn't know what to say, so he simply took her into his spiritual world.
Bing Di was also inside, so he let Xue Di chat with her for a while.
"Now it's time to give them something big!"
Lin Qinghan slowly descended from high in the sky to about 1,000 meters above ground.
Then, he took out two level 9 launchers and aimed them at the core of the military camp below.
Without hesitation, he used his spiritual stance to coordinate the launchers and the fixed soul guide shells, firing them straight down.
"Boom boom!! Boom boom!!"
As the level 9 fixed soul guide shells exited the range of Lin Qinghan's spiritual projection, massive tail flames trailed behind them.
Then, Lin Qinghan teleported a hundred miles away.
The speed of the level 9 fixed soul guide shells was incredibly fast, but the soul guide army below reacted in time, quickly activating the linked soul guide shield.
