Douluo: I am an evil soul master, working from nine to five in the Tang Sect

Chapter 82 Inner Courtyard
Under the cover of night, Luo Chen, sitting on his bed in the dormitory, couldn't help but recall what Alex had said before:
"Death is both an end and a rebirth. The end of death is the beginning of life..."

Although he successfully contacted Alex this time, Luo Chen did not gain anything from him. Neither the undead magic nor those powerful spells that reached the divine realm, Alex, who had just awakened from a deep sleep, had yet to remember them.

However, Luo Chen was still inspired by his words, and had a deeper understanding of his own Death Scythe martial soul.

If the end of life is death, does death also symbolize the beginning of life?

Even though Luo Chen's understanding of the rules of death is still very superficial and he hasn't even gotten started, after years of contact with death, he has a preliminary concept of death.

Especially after he mastered some of the death power regarding the Grim Reaper's Scythe, his understanding of the rules of death became even deeper. The breath of death that used to represent "destruction" and "end" to him now seemed holy.

This is also the inspiration he got from Electrolux. Death does not only take away life, but can also create life.

At this moment, Luo Chen finally understood how Alex created the "Undead Magic". It was through the change of the rules of death that the dead life was resurrected and given a new "life".

Although in the eyes of others, this resurrected "ghost" is extremely ugly and filthy, but whether alive or dead, both are holy and are "living beings" in the most essential sense.

Therefore, even if the undead is transformed from a normal creature, it is itself an alternative, "living" life form. Death is not the end, and it will eventually be "resurrected" again at some point in time and in some concept!
"Using the rules of death, a soul that still has self-awareness is given new life. It has both self-awareness and a body. The only difference between it and a normal creature is that its soul has changed. Can such a life form be called an undead?"

Thinking of this, Luo Chen couldn't help but frown. For a dead living being, what disappears is its own vitality, not the soul. As long as the soul is still there, then there is a possibility of "resurrection".

But without relying on vitality, but only relying on a rotten shell and a revived soul, can such a life really be called life?
If one simply uses the rules of death to forcibly change the soul of a living being whose vitality has already disappeared, then Luo Chen can also do this. The evolved Death Puppet has this ability.

However, after being transformed by the Scythe of Death, the soul body no longer has self-awareness, but is more like a body with instinctive consciousness that can respond to Luo Chen's commands. This obviously cannot be called an undead.

So how can we forcibly "resurrect" a lost soul while retaining its self-awareness?

This is exactly what Luo Chen is thinking about now, because such means are infinitely close to "resurrection".

Since it is possible to transform a soul whose vitality has disappeared into a ghost, it is also possible to transform the ghost into a normal living being.

"Ah, no wonder this plane has not yet achieved the existence of gods with the rule of death. It would probably take a normal person a hundred years just to try to understand the concept of death."

Luo Chen also sighed silently.

Even though he possessed a martial soul that was so close to the embodiment of death, and had been with death for so long, he only had a superficial understanding of it. It was extremely difficult for him to truly comprehend the mystery.

Even a powerful person like Alex, who has lived for who knows how many years and has a deep understanding of death, has not been able to truly delve into the mysteries of death, let alone Luo Chen, who is only a teenager now.

"Does it really take a few deaths to truly understand the rules of death?"

Luo Chen thought so and couldn't help but laugh at his own thoughts.

If he really wanted to rely on the rules of death to create his own death god position in this Douluo plane, it would not be difficult. After all, the Scythe of Death itself was equivalent to half of the Avenue of Death, containing the rules of death from countless planes.

But his ambition is not just that. The gods in the Douluo plane are not weak. After all, as long as the God Realm still exists, they can rely on the pure and spiritual energy in the God Realm to survive. There is no problem living for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years.

As for some other planes, even those who have reached the pinnacle of cultivation will only live for a few thousand years. This is undoubtedly a very tragic thing.

But the gods of the Douluo plane are just like that. Even the king of gods in the divine world, the king among gods, cannot reach the level of the peak of the human realm in other planes in terms of strength. He can easily shatter the stars and destroy the sea of ​​​​stars with a wave of his hand.

It would be good enough to be able to clean up the entire plane, so Luo Chen is not so interested in creating his own godhood in the Douluo plane and then becoming a god. After all, even if he does not become a god, he can still rely on the vitality of this plane to live forever.

And if Luo Chen truly understands the rules of death and can fully master the rules of death in the Douluo plane, then he will be able to truly achieve eternal immortality in this universe.

However, these are still too far away for Luo Chen, who has not even reached the level of a Titled Douluo. Even if Luo Chen's understanding of the rules of death is deeper than that of many Extreme Douluos, it cannot change the fact that Luo Chen is still an "ant".

"It seems that I have to hurry up and improve my strength. At least within three years, I have to improve to a level that can fight against Titled Douluo..."

Since the newly revived Alex cannot provide him with any help, Luo Chen can only focus on improving his own strength.

If you want to improve your strength quickly, the best way is undoubtedly actual combat, whether it is fighting against talented soul masters in the inner courtyard, training combat skills and combat awareness, or fighting against powerful soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. These are all the best ways to improve your strength!
As for his own soul power level, Luo Chen was not worried at all. With a holy place for cultivation like Sea God Island, his current cultivation speed was qualitatively different from before, almost making rapid progress a thousand miles a day!

It won't be long before Luo Chen estimates that he will be able to step into the level of a four-ring soul master. Once his soul power level has a breakthrough, Luo Chen's own scythe of death will undoubtedly be improved again. Although the extent of the improvement will not be as terrifying as this time, it will still be no problem to improve to a small level.

By that time, Luo Chen had truly acquired the ability to protect himself. Although he was now just an ordinary outer courtyard student, Luo Chen was already able to kill a ten-thousand-year soul beast on his own. His strength was considered one of the stronger ones even in the inner courtyard.

And if his soul power level breaks through again and his own Scythe of Death evolves again, then even if he fights against a ten-thousand-year soul beast again, it will probably be no different from a hundred-year or thousand-year soul beast. It will just be a matter of chopping melons and vegetables.

Looking at Taian, who was also sitting on the bed in front of him, mobilizing his soul power and practicing the unfamiliar Xuantian Gong over and over again, Luo Chen exhaled lightly and cut off the distracting thoughts in his mind. Although he still had plenty of time and didn't need to think so much, he was born in trouble and died in comfort. He had to prepare in advance because he had been in a cruel environment since he came to this world.

His own destiny is in his own hands. If he wants to live a stable life in this world, he must first ensure his own strength. Only strong strength can be his best protection.

……

Time passed quickly, and a night of rest passed in a hurry. At dawn, Luo Chen arrived at the Sea God Island as promised, at the place he had agreed with Zhang Lexuan before.

This is not only because Luo Chen himself is more punctual, but also because the rich vitality on the Sea God Island is very helpful for his cultivation.

At this moment, he had just stepped onto the Sea God Island. When the life absorption was automatically turned on and the surrounding vitality was transformed and absorbed, Luo Chen felt that his own cells seemed to be more active.

Vitality is of great help to Luo Chen. This Sea God Island is almost the best environment for his cultivation.

After arriving at the training ground for the inner courtyard students, Luo Chen saw that the ground was still empty. He did not hesitate and sat cross-legged on the ground, started practicing Xuantian Gong.

Just as Luo Chen was increasing his soul power level bit by bit at a percentage rate, about half an hour had passed when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears:

"You've arrived quite early. Are you so eager to spar with those guys in the inner courtyard?"

Hearing this voice, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes, and saw a purple light emerging from his ruby-like blood-red eyes at this moment.

At his level, even if he no longer absorbed the purple energy from the sky, he could still improve his mental power independently through the Purple Demon Pupil's practice. Before reaching the next bottleneck, practicing the Purple Demon Pupil every day would continuously improve his mental power.

"Huh... Even if I came earlier than you, Senior Sister, I'm still here. Since I first arrived at Sea God Island, you've been following me and even watched me practice for half an hour. Senior Sister, you're pretty free, aren't you?"

After putting away the active Purple Demon Pupil, Luo Chen exhaled lightly, and then looked towards Zhang Lexuan beside him. She looked brand new from yesterday, wearing a gorgeous bright red dress, with a smile in her eyes.

Although he could not detect any breath or soul power fluctuations emanating from Zhang Lexuan, he was still able to determine Zhang Lexuan's location through life detection. Therefore, even if Zhang Lexuan was following him stealthily, Luo Chen just pretended not to know.

Now that Zhang Lexuan has come out on her own, there is no need for him to pretend anymore.

However, when she found out that Luo Chen had already noticed her whereabouts a long time ago, there was no surprise on Zhang Lexuan's face. She had specially asked Master Mu yesterday, so she had a deeper understanding of this "junior brother" in front of her after many years.

Even if Luo Chen had already discovered that she had completely concealed her aura and did not reveal any fluctuations in her soul power, she would not have had any surprised reaction. After all, being able to become Mu Lao's disciple and do this was not a surprise.

On the contrary, if Luo Chen was really unaware of her arrival, then this would surprise her.

"Idle? I have spent a lot of time thinking about you, my new junior brother. I don't know what Elder Mu meant by sending me to look after you personally. But it's okay this way. I haven't forgotten what you said yesterday."

As she spoke, a hint of danger appeared in Zhang Lexuan's eyes, and she looked at Luo Chen in front of her with a sneer.

"Master sister, what do you mean by this?"

Hearing Zhang Lexuan's words, Luo Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked.

Although he didn't expect that Mr. Mu would send Zhang Lexuan to look after him, he had no objection to it. After all, Zhang Lexuan's own strength was good enough to be his "teacher".

However, facing Luo Chen's doubts, Zhang Lexuan, who was dressed in red, raised the corners of her mouth and explained:

"You should know what this means. Since Elder Mu asked me to look after you personally, I must take good care of you, my junior brother."

"And it's not just me. You, a freshman from the outer courtyard, suddenly visited Poseidon Island and made some harsh remarks. After hearing what you said, the students in the inner courtyard also expressed their willingness to teach you, a genius, well..."

As she spoke, a look of gloating appeared on Zhang Lexuan's beautiful face, which was as beautiful as an iceberg.

"Although Elder Mu and Elder Xuan have agreed to your training here, you still have to show the corresponding strength, at least to make the seniors in the inner courtyard accept you, so that they will not regard you as a backdoor. Do you understand what I mean?"

Although Zhang Lexuan's words sounded a bit harsh, Luo Chen also understood that this might be the other person's personality.

Moreover, since Zhang Lexuan had never truly witnessed Luo Chen's strength, she still had some prejudice against this "junior brother" whom she had just met.

However, Luo Chen did not care about these. He certainly had no objection to having the opportunity to fight against a strong man. After all, actual combat was the fastest way to improve one's own strength, but one had to be a true "strong man" to do so.
