"Array in the East!"
"Azure Dragon Listen to Orders!"
These eight words were no longer a simple soul skill chant. They were more like a declaration of rules, a summons of power.
"Kill!!!"
With a swish, the hundred Blood Blade members behind Lin Jin shifted formation, drawing their sabers or leveling their spears toward the enemy.
Lin Jin at the front was completely enveloped in endless azure light.
When the azure light faded, a set of extraordinarily magnificent and savage Armor, flowing as though with liquid azure light, instantly covered Lin Jin from head to toe.
The Armor's lines brimmed with power. Its Shoulder Armor took the form of roaring Dragon Heads, while its Chest Armor was layered with Dragon Scale Veins. A phantom Azure Dragon coiled around the Armor, moving vividly as though alive.
His left hand had become a Dragon Claw with incomparably sharp fingertips, containing the Strength to tear apart everything.
In his right hand condensed the phantom of a massive Azure Dragon Crescent Blade. Azure light flickered along its blade, dragon Veins wound around it, and it radiated an edge capable of cleaving through anything.
At that moment, Lin Jin was no longer an ordinary man. He resembled a Dragon General who had stepped out of myth, exuding an Aura that was majestic, tyrannical, ancient, and sacred.
His Fifth Soul Skill was, astonishingly, the Azure Dragon Will skin from King's Continent, which contained Azure Dragon Power.
Lin Jin had not expected this.
What surprised Lin Jin even more was that after the Fifth Soul Skill, Azure Dragon Will, was unleashed, it formed an ability similar to a domain that amplified his side.
The Dragon Might radiating from the Armor mixed with Lin Jin's killing intent, forming a terrifying pressure that made it hard to breathe. Even the advancing Iron Wall Spear Formation on the other side stalled slightly.
The hundred Blood Blade members behind him seemed to have been linked by invisible Azure Dragon Killing Intent. A bloodthirsty azure gleam flashed through every one of their Eyes.
Under the influence of Lin Jin's Azure Dragon Power, the hundred Blood Blade members' momentum surged.
"Kill!" The furious roar, filled with overwhelming killing intent, actually condensed into a visible Azure Sonic Boom. The hundred elite City Defense Force Soldiers opposite them involuntarily retreated several steps.
The imposing presence of the so-called Iron Wall Spear Formation was like a mud wall built by children playing house before the momentum of Blood Blade's Azure Dragon battle formation.
"A bunch of trash! Why are you backing away?!" Odysseus roared in fury and embarrassment when he saw his elite troops retreat several steps under the enemy's pressure.
"Charge!" Odysseus immediately ordered.
"Kill!" Lin Jin gave the command.
Blood Blade charged in coordination with Lin Jin, their rushing figures resembling an Azure Dragon, with Lin Jin as its Dragon Head.
Odysseus froze. A colossal azure Dragon Shadow flashed through his Eyes as he stared ahead.
Fast! Fast to the extreme!
Fierce! Fierce beyond compare!
Lin Jin took the lead, and the phantom Azure Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand merely swept sideways!
"BOOM!!!"
Azure dragon-shaped blade energy erupted in a fan-shaped blast. The seemingly impregnable Iron-clad Shields in the front row of Odysseus's formation were torn apart and shattered like paper! The Taxi Soldiers holding the shields were struck as if by a Giant Beast, screaming as they flew backward!
The Iron Wall Spear Formation was instantly ripped open with a massive gap!
The hundred Blood Blade members followed close behind like tigers entering a flock of sheep. Their movements were concise, efficient, deadly, and precise as they cut into the enemy troops thrown into chaos by their broken formation, raising their blades and cutting down without mercy.
Led by the azure light, the black torrent instantly smashed the enemy formation into complete disarray!
Dust soared into the sky, accompanied by an endless stream of clashing weapons, shattering shields, and the cries and wails of City Defense Force Soldiers.
The entire process happened in the blink of an eye!
Just one charge! Only a few breaths later!
The dust settled over the Training Ground.
Odysseus's hundred elite troops had already been completely defeated, sprawled across the ground in all directions.
Although Lin Jin and Blood Blade had held back and spared their lives, they had lost all ability to fight.
In a single charge, they had actually crushed the City Defense Force's elite.
Lin Jin had already released Martial Soul Possession and stood quietly in the center of the field, as though that Azure Dragon war general from moments ago had nothing to do with him.
The hundred Blood Blade members behind him still stood in silent formation, though a faint azure glow lingered on their blade edges.
Silence!
Dead Silence!
Everyone on the Spectator Stand had turned to stone, including Xue Ye.
"S-So this is the Blood Blade unit that General Lin made the Northern Border Army of the Star Luo Empire fear like the wind? Its reputation truly is well deserved!"
Prince Xue Xing's mouth hung open, his face deathly pale. His trembling finger pointed below as he muttered repeatedly, "Impossible, impossible..."
The Young Girl beside Xue Ye's Eyes sparkled. "So cool!!!"
Marshal Odysseus gripped the railing, his body trembling slightly from shock and defeat. His lips moved, but no sound came out.
The Iron Wall Spear Formation he had been so proud of had been so utterly vulnerable before a single charge by one man!
Qian Renxue had long since put down her teacup. Beneath her disguise, her beautiful face and the depths of her Eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.
She knew that Lin Jin's Military Merit as the Heavenly Wolf General of the Northern Border had been earned through real battles.
But this was still the first time she had seen Lin Jin's valiant bearing on the battlefield. It was actually like this.
"Array in the East, Azure Dragon Listen to Orders... What kind of soul skill is this? It has such might, comparable to a God Skill! Just how far has his Strength reached?"
Qian Renxue realized that she had perhaps never truly seen through the youth she had personally brought into the game.
Pufferfish and Snake Lance Douluo wore especially grave expressions. As Titled Douluo, they could better sense the ancient and tyrannical power contained within that Azure Dragon soul skill. It was no ordinary soul skill.
This Person had truly come into his own!
"Pufferfish, no wonder This Person is so arrogant. He's too monstrous!" Snake Lance could not help using a trace of Soul Power to transmit his voice to Pufferfish.
"Arrogance requires the capital for it," Pufferfish took a deep breath and replied through voice transmission, his tone filled with complicated emotion. "If I had his Strength and opportunities at his age, I'd be even more arrogant than him!"
"Bullshit! If anyone had his Strength at that age and that damned soul skill, who wouldn't be arrogant? Unfortunately, when I was his age, I had only barely become a Soul Ancestor and was still risking my life to obtain a suitable Thousand-Year Soul Ring." Snake Lance could not help rolling his eyes, his tone full of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
"General Odysseus, thank you for yielding." Lin Jin stood calmly before Odysseus and cupped his hands in salute.
Odysseus gave a bitter laugh, unable to say a word.
"Hahaha... Good! Good! What an 'Array in the East, Azure Dragon Listen to Orders'! What a Heavenly Wolf General!"
In the end, it was Xue Ye's hearty laughter that broke the Dead Silence. He abruptly rose from the Dragon Throne and clapped forcefully.
"Divine Might that covers the world, courage beyond all resistance—I am deeply gratified! With a general like this in the Empire, why should it fear not prospering?"
"Deliver my Imperial Edict: all matters concerning the Fifth City Defense Detachment shall be decided solely by Heavenly Wolf General Lin Jin. He is granted the authority to execute first and report afterward. No one may interfere."
"Additionally, grant him one hundred thousand gold and confer upon him the title of Young Protector of the Crown Prince, to recognize his achievements and inspire his ambition!"
Young Protector of the Crown Prince!
Though it was an honorary title, it represented immense favor and the Emperor's absolute trust. It also linked Lin Jin to the Empire's future Heir.
Lin Jin immediately bowed to Xue Ye, his voice steady and powerful:
"Thank you for Your Majesty's great grace! This subordinate will surely give his all and not disappoint Your Majesty's trust and expectations!"
Qian Renxue looked deeply at Lin Jin. Was this the final step of your warning to Xue Xing?
