Thanks for the Invite, I'm Only Nineteen and Already a Titled Douluo and Level-Nine Soul Engineer

After some time, the three of them finished lunch. Following a brief rest, they left the restaurant.

Once outside, Ling Luochen raised her head slightly to look at the sky before shifting her gaze to Lin Fan and Leng Yaozhu.

"Lin Fan, do you still have any Flying Soul Tools?"

As a Titled Douluo, Lin Fan naturally did not need a Flying Soul Tool. However, she did not know Leng Yaozhu's strength, nor did she know whether Leng Yaozhu had one.

Ling Luochen currently had only one Flying Soul Tool on her, and it could only be used by herself. Carrying Leng Yaozhu along would be rather troublesome, while letting Lin Fan hold Leng Yaozhu and fly them back was something Ling Luochen would absolutely not accept.

Ling Luochen took a Flying Soul Tool from her Storage Soul Tool. Its main body was a large iron box, one meter long, half a meter wide, and a full foot thick, with folded wings attached to either side. It was not particularly attractive.

"This Flying Soul Tool can travel five hundred li in one hour. At our current distance, it should take around three hours to return to Shrek Academy."

Looking at the Flying Soul Tool in Ling Luochen's hand, Leng Yaozhu could not help sighing inwardly. The technology of ten thousand years ago truly was entirely different from that of ten thousand years later.

If it were ten thousand years later, transportation such as Soul Tool Cars and Soul Tool Trains would already have become widespread. They were fast and required little effort.

Leng Yaozhu had also studied the Soul Tool standards of this era. She knew that Flying Soul Tools of this time still consumed a considerable amount of Soul Power. If they encountered enemies while using one, it would likely be quite troublesome.

Thus, even if they used a Flying Soul Tool, they could not fly continuously without stopping. They would inevitably have to rest along the way and recover their Soul Power.

At this thought, Leng Yaozhu's gaze unconsciously fell upon Lin Fan. She suddenly remembered the Black-Rank Mecha she had given him earlier.

That was a Black-Rank Mecha from ten thousand years in the future, and its energy had long since been fully charged. If Lin Fan took it out now, traveling would become much more convenient.

As for exposing it... Leng Yaozhu did not think it mattered. She had already given the thing to Lin Fan. If he could not take it out and use it, would it not just be an ornament, completely worthless?

Besides, Lin Fan was already a Level-94 Titled Douluo. Across the entire Douluo Continent, even in this era, he ought to be considered among the very best. Not to mention, he had defeated the Level-95 Yan Shaozhe.

If someone wanted to take Lin Fan's belongings, it would probably be difficult no matter how they went about it, right?

Of course, it ultimately depended on what Lin Fan himself thought.

As Leng Yaozhu was silently calculating, Lin Fan casually took something out of his Storage Soul Tool.

The object was silver-gray all over, square in shape with sleek lines and four wheels. It looked remarkably refined, and an ordinary person would certainly not recognize it.

But the moment Leng Yaozhu saw it, she froze completely.

Wasn't this... a Soul Tool Car?!

Ling Luochen, standing beside her, could not help revealing a puzzled expression. She looked at the strange iron box, tilted her head, and asked.

"Lin Fan... what is this?"

The corners of Lin Fan's lips lifted slightly as he explained in a casual tone.

"This is a little thing I tinkered with. It's called a Soul Tool Car."

"It travels much faster on the ground than a Flying Soul Tool, and it can carry people. It also doesn't consume much Soul Power. It's just something I made over the years when I had nothing better to do outside."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu covered her mouth in shock. Her crimson eyes were filled with disbelief.

A Soul Tool Car?! Not only was this thing so similar to the Soul Tool Cars they rode ten thousand years later, it even looked the same?!

A thought involuntarily surfaced in Leng Yaozhu's mind. Could it be... that Lin Fan had also traveled through time from ten thousand years in the future?

If Lin Fan truly had traveled through time from ten thousand years later, then it made perfect sense that he had shown no surprise at all when he first saw her holding the Black-Rank Mecha.

But... upon further thought, Leng Yaozhu remembered that Lin Fan had spent seven years with Elder Zhou outside Shrek Academy. If he had really come from ten thousand years in the future, then his age did not add up.

Moreover, even ten thousand years later, owning a Soul Tool Car like this required considerable wealth. Counting back at least seven years, how old had Lin Fan been then?

Leng Yaozhu's mind became somewhat chaotic. All sorts of thoughts tangled together, leaving her unable to make sense of them.

Lin Fan did not notice anything unusual about Leng Yaozhu. He simply pulled open the Soul Tool Car's door and gestured to the two of them.

"Get in."

Though Ling Luochen was still somewhat confused, she obediently got into the car. Leng Yaozhu also came back to her senses and hurriedly followed her into the back seat.

The car interior was quite spacious, and its seats were soft and comfortable—far more comfortable than most means of transportation in this era.

Once Leng Yaozhu was seated, she recalled what Lin Fan had said and could not help asking.

"Lin Fan... you just said you made this yourself?"

"Are you a Soul Engineer?"

Lin Fan glanced at her through the rearview mirror and replied with a faint smile.

"Yes. I'm currently a Level-Nine Soul Engineer."

Leng Yaozhu stared straight at Lin Fan with her beautiful eyes, utterly incredulous. How old was Lin Fan? He was already a Level-Nine Soul Engineer?

A nineteen-year-old Level-94 Titled Douluo and a Level-Nine Soul Engineer?!

This... this was far too monstrous, wasn't it?!

Even ten thousand years later, those who could become Level-Nine Soul Engineers before the age of thirty were exceedingly rare. Yet Lin Fan was only nineteen and already possessed both the status of a Titled Douluo and a Level-Nine Soul Engineer?

Leng Yaozhu could not help marveling inwardly. Heaven had not only granted Lin Fan outstanding looks, but also extraordinary talent. A nineteen-year-old Titled Douluo and Level-Nine Soul Engineer would be fought over by countless people even ten thousand years later.

Especially since the definition of a Soul Engineer in this era differed from that of ten thousand years later. In the era ten thousand years ago, Soul Engineers encompassed nearly everything, while mecha designers, mecha repair technicians, and mecha manufacturers in the later era had essentially all been separated from the Soul Engineer profession.

Of course, separating them out was also meant to allow for better development.

At that moment, Lin Fan started the Soul Tool Car. The scenery around them rapidly retreated, and Ling Luochen watched the sight before her with shock filling her beautiful eyes.

Every time they met, Lin Fan gave her an unexpected surprise. He had now even tinkered up something so convenient. He truly was impressive.

Meanwhile, before the light screen that stretched across the entire sky ten thousand years later, countless people erupted upon seeing this scene.

"A nineteen-year-old Level-94 Titled Douluo... and a Level-Nine Soul Engineer too?! How is that possible?!"

"How could one person cultivate both Soul Power and Soul Tools to such heights?!"

"Just what kind of monster is this Lin Fan?!"

"Look, this Soul Tool Car is clearly similar to ours, but our Soul Tool Cars only appeared a few thousand years ago. What happened in the meantime that caused the Soul Tool Car Lin Fan developed to be lost?"

After those words were spoken, conspiracy theories once again surfaced in everyone's minds.
