Chapter 474 - 376: Soul Six of the Soul Controlling Clan Encounters the Black Shark
Don’t be in such a hurry to run.
Lu Lin looked at the member of the Soul Controlling Clan, who was clearly trying to escape, with a mocking smile on his face.
If it were only Cha Yuan here, even though he is a Title King with a spiritual attribute awakening, it’s uncertain whether he could actually keep this guy from getting away.
But in Lu Lin’s hands, trying to escape was as foolish as showing off one’s minor skills before an expert.
Lu Lin was a master of manipulating spiritual strength.
"Director Cha, please wait a moment. I have found its main body, and I’m heading over to check the situation now."
"This Alien Race has been infiltrating our human side continuously, and since there’s an opportunity, I will go over and investigate."
Lu Lin gave a directive, and without paying further attention to the situation inside the villa, he entered the spiritual realm and traced back the passageway the Soul Controlling Clan was trying to escape through.
It must be said that this Soul Controlling Clan has indeed a unique advantage in controlling souls and spiritual strength.
Their spiritual strength can control from ultra-long distances and also communicate and transmit information across dimensions.
The Soul Controlling Clan usually consists of one main body and multiple subsidiary bodies.
The main body can transfer and switch to any subsidiary body, and even if Lu Lin kills one of its subsidiary bodies, the main body can quickly recover from some influence.
Similarly, if Lu Lin kills the main body of the Soul Controlling Clan, their subsidiaries will gain the freedom to evolve into a new main body.
There are only two ways to obliterate the Soul Controlling Clan.
Find their main body, cut it down with one strike, and without a body, no matter how many subsidiaries or main bodies it has, they are useless.
However, the Soul Controlling Clan is fully aware of this vulnerability, so no one can locate their main body.
Their main body might be attached to a blade of little grass, or a bone left by demon beasts, or in some hidden place no one can find.
Another way is to instantly kill all the subsidiaries and main body of the Soul Controlling Clan. Even if the main body still exists, it will be dead, and if a consciousness is birthed later from the main body, it will be another Soul Controlling Clan member, not the original one.
Lu Lin spent a considerable amount of time and effort to find other subsidiaries of this Soul Controlling Clan.
When he eventually found these subsidiaries, even Lu Lin was shocked.
This guy, with one main body, controlled over seven hundred subsidiaries.
These subsidiaries were distributed across various industries in the Human Federation, performing different jobs, ranging from ordinary chefs, soldiers, and teachers, to recently awakened martial artists, college students, pioneering team members, employees of large enterprises...
There were even many holding basic positions in the Federation Management Department.
Great, honestly great.
This was just one Soul Controlling Clan member, yet it controlled so many humans; no wonder the human federation felt like a sieve to Black Shark.
A soul-controlling expert like this, if given to Lu Lin, could make the entire Exotic Battlefield completely transparent.
However, if this secret method is learned by Cha Yuan, then there would be no secret in the federation that can’t be kept from him.
The original consciousness of these humans controlled by soul bodies had all perished. After locating all the subsidiaries, Lu Lin did not hesitate to destroy all these subsidiary bodies within the people and took note of their information to hand over a list of names to Cha Yuan later.
Currently, he didn’t have much time to bother with these minor matters.
Now, the Soul Controlling Clan blocked by Lu Lin has only one subsidiary body left on Zhao Xinrui, one avatar on Zhang Yue, and another subsidiary body in the endless sea of the Exotic Battlefield.
Among the Human Federation, these two won’t escape, but Lu Lin’s goal was never here; he aimed to locate the last subsidiary body of the Soul Controlling Clan from the start.
However.
When Lu Lin’s spiritual strength entered this subsidiary body, he saw a pair of eyes staring at him.
Lu Lin was startled, then saw that he recognized the owner of these eyes.
Black Shark God Master.
"What’s wrong, Soul Six, why did you suddenly wake?"
Black Shark’s voice was somewhat hoarse and seemed a bit creepy in the darkness.
Lu Lin did not expect that the subsidiary body of the soul control in the Exotic Battlefield would be in the hands of the Black Shark God Master.
Moreover, this subsidiary body had a very weak self-awareness, almost none at all.
Every soul-controlling entity handled by Black Shark was operated in such a manner.
Lu Lin was in wonder, but Black Shark wouldn’t be surprised.
Seeing that Soul Six wasn’t speaking for a long time, he stood waiting in front of it.
Whenever those soul bodies woke up, they would have a brief moment of stupor, but it was never this long.
Apparently, Soul Six encountered some significant upheaval which led to the main body being unable to escape being slain, thus activating this subsidiary body.
"Black Shark."
"Never thought I’d see you in such a place, dark and somewhat unfriendly."
Lu Lin curled his lips, speaking calmly.
"Soul Six?"
"No, you’re not Soul Six. Who are you?"
Black Shark was startled. The subsidiary body of the Soul Controlling Clan was controlled by someone?
Saying this would surely drop countless jaws in shock.
The Soul Controlling Clan holds innate advantages in controlling souls and spiritual strength, and even Black Shark, once a Star King expert, could only lightly dabble in this field, being entirely unable to compare with the Soul Controlling Clan members.
Yet now, Soul Six was actually controlled by someone else.
Black Shark’s mind raced. In Soul Six’s hands, the most important pawn right now was the human Level 9 Martial Artist Zhao Xing.
Could it be that something happened to Zhao Xing?
A few days ago, the sudden advancement of more than five hundred Titled Kings in the Human Federation naturally reached Black Shark’s ears immediately.
He had initially been worried that his hidden pathways had been discovered, but as days passed with no intelligence coming from the Federation, Black Shark didn’t dwell on it.
However, the current situation told him that it wasn’t that the Federation hadn’t discovered it, but that they had been preparing all along, ready to strike with lightning precision.
Among the Federation’s Titled Kings, possessing such precise and advanced soul control capabilities were Chen Danqing, Cha Yuan, Lv Susu... and the one Black Shark least wanted to mention—Lu Lin.
Therefore.
The Black Shark God Master’s eyes narrowed sharply, "Are you Lu Lin?"
"That’s right, indeed worthy of being the Black Shark God Master, your quick thinking is almost on par with our Federation’s elite elementary school students."
"Impressive, impressive."
Upon hearing Lu Lin say this, Black Shark’s face turned dark.
Having infiltrated human society for so many years, how would he not know what an elementary school student was, even an elite one... pah, pah, how could these ten-year-old human brats compare to him?
"Lu Lin, what do you mean by this?"
"Killing one of my Black Dragons isn’t enough? What, do you want to kill another member of the Soul Controlling Clan to show me?"
"No, no, no."
As Lu Lin spoke, he controlled Soul Six’s body, waving his hands at Black Shark repeatedly.
Within such a short time, he had already become accustomed to using this entirely new body. Though it felt a bit awkward, it was barely usable.
"Black Shark God Master, you’ve misunderstood. I came here purely out of curiosity, and it was quite eye-opening to see the legendary true form of the Black Shark God Master. May I ask, is this what I’m seeing now your true form?"
"Indeed, it looks exactly as I imagined the Black Shark would."
As Lu Lin said this, he thought the same in his heart.
He had seen Black Shark’s mental projection at Mo Bai Mountain, and later encountered his avatar between beast and mortal. He had thought that was how Black Shark looked. Unexpectedly, the Black Shark in front of him, standing on land, had a somewhat human appearance, but if submerged in water, would undoubtedly be mistaken for a giant shark.
The two legs of the lower body still maintained a human shape, while the upper body was entirely half-shark, with only the face and hands showing traces of human features.
"..."
Black Shark was speechless.
Lu Lin, you traveled all this way, awakening Soul Six’s sub-body, just to mock my appearance?
That’s so low.
Black Shark’s face darkened, "Kid, you’re itching for death, aren’t you?"
"I suppose withdrawing all my subordinate forces made you think I’m afraid of you?"
"No, no, no, I didn’t mean it like that. You’re overthinking."
"Black Shark, meeting you in this manner today, honestly, is quite surprising to me too."
"To be honest, I’ve always had one question in mind, why are you targeting me?"
"From when I was very weak, you never let me go. After hearing that I could help people advance their cultivation, you even spent two Spatial Channels, losing so many Star Generals in the process, just to capture me alive. Can you tell me what you’re thinking?"
"Could it be, you like me?"
I like you &*&* my ass, Black Shark nearly couldn’t contain himself and almost cursed.
He, the dignified Black Shark God Master, a former Star King expert, now the highest authority among the Alien Race.
Like you?
Though you may be handsome, I’m not into men, alright?
"Oh, I see. Did you come to me hoping I’d help guide your Star Skills and improve your level?"
"So, you must be aware of how I guided Star Skills for exotic beasts and helped them advance, right?"
Lu Lin was honestly quite curious too.
Black Shark had certainly gone to great lengths for him.
Many times, people were sent after him, and the crucial aspect was that, apart from the Black Dragon God Master who truly wanted him dead, all the Alien Race Star Generals had only one thought regarding Lu Lin.
Capture alive.
This was why Lu Lin, despite facing countless dangers over such a long time, could still manage to escape smoothly.
Black Shark fell silent.
If he had noticed Lu Lin’s potential a little earlier and sent Star Generals to capture him back alive, perhaps Lu Lin might have already broken through the Tianyuan Continent’s Star Dust Realm’s constraints and returned to the Star Core Realm by now.
Perhaps even higher was not impossible.
With all the methods he had accumulated, Black Shark didn’t believe a mere Exotic Battlefield could escape his grasp.
However, Lu Lin was as slippery as an eel. Every time Black Shark thought he could surely catch Lu Lin, Lu escaped at the last minute.
Especially during the incident at Mo Bai Mountain, he appeared together with the Ten Gods’ mental projections.
If it hadn’t been for interference from Jia Dao and Gui Xiang of the demon beast clan and that Frog King, Lu Lin would’ve found it impossible to flee.
After that, Lu Lin gained some unknown chance, significantly boosting his power within a short time.
If not for his remaining trump cards, Black Shark felt that in a one-on-one situation, he’d have had a significant chance of not being a match for Lu Lin.
