The Flaws of the Soul Guidance Legion
Since we're talking about the Sun Moon Empire Sun Moon Empire, we have to mention that its most valuable asset is its Soul Engineer Corps.
Actually, I really couldn't hold it in anymore.
In any world with a higher level of combat power, wouldn't this so-called Soul Engineer Corps be nothing more than a toy?
To put it nicely, they're called the Soul Engineer Corps; to put it bluntly, aren't they just a bunch of low-level Soul Master?
A group of low-level Soul Master, whether in battle or through various coordinated efforts, were able to amplify their power to the point of threatening Titled Douluo.
It is extremely puzzling in the fantasy world that a Soul Engineer Corps of Soul Elder, Soul Ancestor, and Soul King could unleash power capable of threatening Soul Douluo and even Titled Douluo.
Such a situation would not occur in any other fantasy world.
There's a reason why Douluo Continent is called the "floor tile" of fantasy novels.

Ju Zi put down the Soul Tool parts she was wiping and paused lightly on the metal casing.
In the two years since she enrolled, she has participated in several Simulation experiments of collective Soul Guidance Array with her mentor, and knows the ins and outs of this thing better than anyone else.
With hundreds of Soul Master simultaneously pouring their Soul Power into the core array plate, the transmission loss in between exceeds 60%. The final power that can be unleashed is entirely due to the sheer number of people involved.
It's said that the Soul Ancestor and Soul King group can threaten Titled Douluo, but in reality, they can only catch the opponent off guard. If the opponent keeps their distance and fights steadily, these mixed and scattered Soul Power simply cannot break through the Titled Douluo's protective Soul Power.
To put it bluntly, it's just a disposable firework weapon. It might be good for bullying naive people, but in a high-level battlefield, it wouldn't even be fit to tickle someone.
She used to think that the Empire's Soul Engineer Corps was invincible, but now, after Lin Ye's words exposed her ignorance, she realized that she had been incredibly narrow-minded.
[And I'm not just being a smear campaign. The key is that you have to look at what the so-called Soul Engineer Corps did. In other fantasy worlds, a battle formation composed of three hundred first-tier warriors can threaten third-tier or even fourth-tier warriors.]
What did they rely on? They relied on teamwork, on incredibly complex battle formations, and on their ability to unite everyone's strength into a single force—it's a very subtle and mysterious thing.
[As for the Soul Guidance Legion, they relied entirely on artillery shells for support; they themselves didn't have much of an impact, relying entirely on the shells, that is, external force.]
The difference between these two is quite significant.
Of course, this is the bad side, but there is also a good side, which is that it brought a small shock to the Soul Master World.
It's important to understand that there was no precedent for this before. Whether it was Douluo Continent II ten thousand years later or Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago, Soul Master were the true mainstream.
Even though there are many Soul Master in the Spirit Hall, they are still small teams composed of multiple Soul Master, such as ten level 50 Soul Masters, or ten level 60 Soul Master, or ten level 70 Soul Master.
Their missions weren't to kill those higher level than themselves, but rather to carry out tasks that were within their capabilities.

A ripple passed through Gu Yuena's silver-purple eyes.
The Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance Array merely uses inanimate conduits to forcibly gather Soul Power. Without the support of laws or the unification of will, its power is chaotic and its upper limit is obvious.
Both appear to be "outnumbered," but they are fundamentally worlds apart.
Shrek City, restaurant.
Xiao Xiao paused, the half-eaten pastry in her mouth, and exchanged a glance with Wang Dong'er.
She had previously been full of admiration, thinking that it was a genius idea for a group of low-level Soul Master to join forces and contend with high-level Soul Master.
But now, after hearing Lin Ye's comparison, he realized that a real battle formation is not simply about having more people and greater strength.
No wonder Shrek's Soul Master teams always consist of members of the same level and carry out missions that match their level. It turns out that everyone anticipated that the gap in Soul Power Level is difficult to bridge with sheer numbers.
The approach taken by the Sun Moon Empire faction may seem powerful, but it doesn't actually conform to the laws of power growth. It simply takes advantage of the fact that the Douluo faction hasn't had any experience with Soul Tool.
However, in Douluo Continent II, after the collision between the Sun Moon Continent and Douluo Continent, all the Soul Master were dumbfounded. How could there be such a thing as Soul Engineer?
Soul Engineer are actually no less capable than Soul Master; in some respects, Soul Engineer are even more suited to human development.
Since we're already on the topic, I might as well take this opportunity to complain about this so-called Soul Master profession.
I feel it's just too abnormal. In my past life, I saw many people discussing online that the Heavenly Dao of the Douluo Continent was actually suffering from a disease, which is why it produced such a distorted form.
Humans must kill Soul Beast if they want to improve.
If humans cannot improve their strength without killing Soul Beast, this method of improvement is completely abnormal.
Tang Ya stopped what she was doing, her brows furrowing slightly.
She grew up in the Tang Sect and learned the basics of Soul Master cultivation. She always believed that hunting Soul Beast was the only way to obtain Soul Ring.
But now that Lin Ye has pointed it out so bluntly, they belatedly realize just how absurd these rules are.
Cultivation and advancement are a personal matter; why should it come at the cost of another being's death?
If Heaven Soul Empire beasts are truly wiped out, wouldn't human Soul Master be unable to improve anymore?
Such a huge loophole, yet for so many years not many people noticed anything wrong; everyone assumed this set of rules was correct—it's terrifying to think about.
[And most importantly, it's extremely unreasonable. You have to understand that the number of Soul Beast required to become a Titled Douluo is already terrifying.]
A Titled Douluo needs at least three or four Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and One-Ring final, excellent Titled Douluo needs a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast beast. But where in the Douluo Continent can you find so many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?
Absolutely impossible. Even if Douluo Continent is a super-large continent like those in other fantasy novels, half or even seventy or eighty percent of its area is covered by primeval forests, and humans occupy only a small portion of the area.
This is within a fairly reasonable range.
But what about the Douluo Continent, or rather, the entire Douluo Star? Although the entire Douluo Star cannot consist of only the Sun Moon Continent and Douluo Continent, these two are definitely the most developed.
Other continents may still be in a barbaric era, or they may have already produced Soul Master, but their levels are not high. Of course, that's a story for another time.
Speaking of these two regions alone, in the Douluo Continent, it goes without saying that humanity is the absolute ruler.
There are only two main bases for Soul Beast: one is the Star Dou Forest, and the other is the Far North.
The Far North and the Star Dou Forest together don't even account for half of the entire continent's area; they're probably only thirty or forty percent.
