Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 210: Preliminary Conception of the Blue Silver Saint Plan
For Zhou Sichen, the abilities of martial spirits themselves are actually neither good nor evil.

He has always held this view. In his opinion, even those methods of becoming stronger by devouring vitality are actually not wrong as long as the user himself does not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

However, this so-called not killing innocent people is only limited to the scope of human beings.

When it comes to soul beasts, Zhou Sichen's moral constraints are not so strong.

Looking at Tang Ya, who was confused and annoyed, Zhou Sichen's eyes flashed with complicated emotions, and then he slowly said: "I can't make a decision for you on this matter."

His voice was low and steady, and by the tranquil shore of Poseidon Lake, it seemed to carry a power that forced people to calm down and listen.

When Tang Ya heard this, her body paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she sat down silently on the flower bed beside Poseidon Lake.

Her movements were a little slow, as if she was lost in deep thought. The lake water around her rippled gently, as if sighing for her current dilemma.

Seeing this, Zhou Sichen also slowly sat down beside her, looking towards the lake in the distance, and said softly: "But what I can tell you is that abilities themselves are neither good nor evil. It mainly depends on how you use them."

His words were like a breeze, gently blowing through Tang Ya's heart. She couldn't help but look up at Zhou Sichen and began to think about his words.

Zhou Sichen noticed Tang Ya's gaze, turned his head slightly, looked at her, and continued: "If you devour the life of an evil soul master, in a sense, you are eliminating harm for the people."

Hearing this, Tang Ya's eyes lit up instantly, as if she saw a ray of light in the darkness. The flickering light in her eyes seemed like a burning fire of hope.

However, Zhou Sichen's next words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly dimming her eyes.

"But even if you are doing this to eliminate harm for the people, it still cannot change the fact that you rely on devouring human lives to improve your cultivation."

“The reason why evil soul masters are called evil soul masters is not just because their methods of improvement are evil, but as their strength increases, they can no longer maintain their original hearts and cannot suppress the power gained by this method. In the end, they themselves become extremely evil.” Zhou Sichen’s tone became a little heavy, and every word seemed to knock on Tang Ya’s heart.

Tang Ya knew exactly what Zhou Sichen meant.

Because she had thought about this question alone in the middle of the night countless times.

She thought, what if she just devoured the vitality of some plants or soul beasts?

And what about the vitality of the evil soul master that Zhou Sichen just mentioned?

Does this mean he is not an evil soul master?
But if I do this, will my future self still be able to remain true to myself like I am now?

Will his character be corrupted by his rapidly increasing power, and will he eventually degenerate into an evil soul master?
She couldn't guarantee it.

Because there are too many such examples in the history of the soul master world.

Those soul masters who were once kind-hearted might have used evil methods to improve themselves in the beginning, but they were actually very good people.

However, as they used these evil means to gradually improve their strength, basically everyone eventually degenerated into an evil soul master, regardless of whether they were originally a good or bad person.

Tang Ya nodded silently and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhou, I understand."

Her expression was somewhat solemn, as if she had made an important decision.

Zhou Sichen smiled slightly, with a hint of helplessness and expectation in his smile: "No matter what you choose, I have no right to decide for you, but if you really become an evil soul master in the future, I can personally take action to end your sins for you."

His eyes were firm and resolute, letting Tang Ya know that he was not joking.

Zhou Sichen's meaning was very clear. If Tang Ya really became an evil soul master in the future, he would not care about their old relationship, but he would not tell Beibei and others either.

Tang Ya took a deep breath, as if to cheer herself up: "At least now I can still see hope. If that day really comes, after I have avenged my parents and the ancestors of the Tang Sect, I will come to you in person to atone for my sins."

There was a determination in her eyes, which was the persistence in revenge and the responsibility for her own destiny.

Zhou Sichen knew that Tang Ya had such a short-sighted idea because she was not strong enough to take back the Tang Clan's foundation.

So he looked towards the inner courtyard, where the strong gathered and where Tang Ya's hope was: "In fact, you are not alone. Beibei loves you deeply. Some things do not have to be done by yourself. Do you understand what I mean?"

Tang Ya just smiled sweetly, with a hint of stubbornness in her smile: "Brother Zhou, although I am not a noble person, I have already decided on some things. This matter can only be done by me!"

Her tone was so firm that no one could refute it.

Zhou Sichen smiled, but his eyes were full of helplessness: "You are so stubborn, no wonder Beibei couldn't persuade you."

Tang Ya stood up and bowed slightly to Zhou Sichen, expressing her gratitude: "Thank you, Brother Zhou, for saying these words to me. I still need to practice, so I'll leave first."

Her movements were clean and quick, and she turned around to leave.

Zhou Sichen nodded, his eyes following Tang Ya's back: "Before making a decision, think about whether you can bear the consequences. I believe Beibei will stand firmly behind you."

Tang Ya trotted away, waving her hands and responded in a clear voice, "Got it!"

The gradually receding figure seemed a little lonely yet full of power in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Watching Tang Ya's back gradually walking away, Zhou Sichen stood quietly there with a calm expression.

He did not feel any disturbance because of Tang Ya's affairs, but at this moment, some new and bold ideas were surging in his heart like a tide.

His goal is grand, so he wants to integrate the power of the entire Douluo Continent and use it for his own benefit.

In his blueprint, if possible, he would not hesitate to incorporate the power of even the notorious Holy Spirit Church.

After all, in this world where the strong are respected, strength is everything, and integrating the forces of all parties is undoubtedly an excellent way to quickly improve strength.

However, the reality was like an insurmountable mountain standing before him.

He had no spies inside the Holy Spirit Church, and that place was far more terrifying than Shrek Academy and the Body Sect.

In the Holy Spirit Church, there are two Ultimate Douluo. This powerful force alone is enough to daunt Zhou Sichen.

Currently, he does not have enough strength to interfere in the affairs of the Holy Spirit Church.

Even though his third martial soul has a natural restraining effect on evil soul masters, it still seems a little weak in front of the two Ultimate Douluo and is unable to compete with them on his own.

What's more, in addition to his extraordinary strength, Ye Xishui also has extremely high attainments in soul guides. His use of soul guides is superb, adding another difficult-to-break line of defense for the Holy Spirit Church.

At present, it is much more difficult to control the Holy Spirit Sect than to control the Body Sect.

But at this moment, Tang Ya's dark blue silver grass shone like a ray of light into Zhou Sichen's foggy plan, becoming a rare opportunity.

He clearly remembered that Tang Ya in the original novel had already dropped out of Shrek Academy at this time, and then relied on the power of the dark blue silver grass to destroy the Iron Blood Sect, and was then brought back to the Holy Spirit Church and became the Blue Silver Saint.

There is no doubt about the power of Tang Ya's dark blue silver grass. The theory that darkness is ten times stronger applies perfectly to her. If she can use this powerful force for her own benefit, it will be a help that cannot be underestimated.

Zhou Sichen began to sketch out a grand blueprint in his mind. If he could control Tang Ya, wouldn't that mean he could use the evil Tang Ya to quietly infiltrate the Holy Spirit Church?
In this way, he could plan ahead for his future control of the Holy Spirit Church and realize his ultimate goal of integrating the power of Douluo Continent step by step.

After all, he also roughly knew some methods that could restore Tang Ya from her evil state. In his opinion, if he really grew strong enough in the future, restoring Tang Ya would be just a piece of cake.

However, once this plan is implemented, he will inevitably feel a little sorry for Beibei.

After all, this is taking advantage of Beibei's beloved girlfriend and using this pure emotion to achieve his own goals.

But thinking from another angle, for Tang Ya, this might not be a simple exploitation.

Given Tang Ya's personality and the strong desire for revenge deep in her heart, she would be even more excited.

After all, doing this would not only greatly enhance her talent and strength, but would also allow her to truly possess the power to kill her enemies, which was what she had always dreamed of.

Moreover, as she becomes the Blue Silver Saint in the future, her status will be higher than Beibei's, which may be an irresistible temptation for her.

But Zhou Sichen is not absolutely sure about this road full of unknowns.

On the one hand, it is not easy to control Tang Ya. Although she is obsessed with revenge, she also has her own opinions and ideas.

On the other hand, if the plan goes astray and is discovered by the Holy Spirit Church, the consequence may be Tang Ya's complete downfall.

Therefore, he was very hesitant and couldn't make up his mind whether to take this step.

As for the fact that Tang Ya might kill innocent people after turning evil, Zhou Sichen really doesn't have that much compassion.

In his opinion, this world is a place where the strong prey on the weak. If his plan fails and he even loses his life, how can he have the energy to care whether Tang Ya kills innocent people?
After all, the ending is often written by the victor. The winner takes all, and this is the cruel reality.

Just like that, Zhou Sichen fell into deep thought. It was not until Tang Ya's figure completely disappeared from his sight that he slowly came back to his senses and turned to walk towards Fan Yu's laboratory.

In the laboratory, Huo Yuhao was concentrating on assembling a soul guide device. His expression was so focused that it seemed as if the whole world only consisted of him and the soul guide device in his hand.

Hearing the footsteps, Huo Yuhao subconsciously raised his head. Seeing that it was Zhou Sichen, a smile of surprise immediately bloomed on his face: "Brother Zhou? Why are you here?"

Zhou Sichen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile: "Come and see how your study of soul guides is going."

When Huo Yuhao heard this, the smug look on his face became even stronger. He smiled and said, “I’m already preparing for the Level 3 Soul Instructor Assessment. I can start the upgrade assessment tomorrow.”

His words were full of confidence and pride. His efforts and progress in learning soul guides during this period made him full of confidence in himself.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's high-spirited appearance, Zhou Sichen patted his shoulder gently, his eyes full of praise: "Yes, you are indeed talented in soul guides. I came to see you today for another matter."

Huo Yuhao put down the soul guide he was assembling and said seriously, "What is it? As long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse."

He had full trust in Zhou Sichen. In his heart, Zhou Sichen was like a brother and deserved his unreserved help.

Zhou Sichen took Huo Yuhao out of the laboratory and slowly sat down on the sofa outside. His expression became a little serious. "Soon the academy will start an exchange program with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. I plan to reserve a place for you. I wonder if you are willing to go and study."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao felt his head buzz and was stunned. It took him a while to react: "What?! Brother Zhou, are you telling the truth?"

His voice trembled slightly with excitement and his eyes flashed with disbelief.

For him, this is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Being able to study at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy will be a huge leap forward in his soul guide learning journey.

Zhou Sichen nodded: "Of course, if you don't want to, forget it."

When Huo Yuhao heard this, he immediately stood up and said loudly: “I do!”

During his time at Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao was well aware that his progress in cultivating his martial spirit was slow. This road was full of thorns, and every step forward required more effort and sweat than others.

But fate seemed to have opened a shining door for him in another field. In terms of soul guides, he showed amazing talent.

In his eyes, those complex soul guide structure diagrams were like clear maps. He could quickly understand and remember the location of each component and the direction of each energy line.

Although Huo Yuhao had never been to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy in person, he had heard of it.

It is a palace of soul guide technology, gathering the continent's most advanced soul guide research and development results and top soul guide production masters.

The soul guide technology in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy is far ahead of other academies in terms of precision, power and innovative applications.

Huo Yuhao had imagined countless times in his mind what kind of earth-shaking changes would be brought to his soul guide path if he could step into that academy and experience and learn those advanced soul guide technology firsthand.

Now, this exchange student opportunity brought by Zhou Sichen himself is undoubtedly an olive branch extended by fate and the opportunity he has always dreamed of.

How could he give up?

When he thought about stepping into the holy land of soul guides, his heart was overwhelmed with irrepressible excitement and anticipation, as if he had already seen his future of rapid growth and brilliant success in the field of soul guides.

The reason why Zhou Sichen came in person to tell Huo Yuhao the news was that he had his own plans.

In his opinion, improving favorability is like an intangible investment, which does not require too much substantial effort but may bring unexpected returns in the future.

If it was just a notification through the academy, it would be just a routine matter that was done step by step, but if one went there in person and said a few more words of encouragement, it would make Huo Yuhao feel more grateful and close to him.

As for whether these gained favorability points are useful or not, Zhou Sichen doesn't really care.

To him, when they are useless, these good feelings are like dormant seeds, lying there quietly.

But once the day comes when it is needed, this seed will quickly take root and sprout, and play a huge role.

All he did was just walk a few more steps and say a few more words. For him, there was no substantial loss, so why not do it?

Zhou Sichen himself is also a very emotional person. He intercepted Tianmeng and Yi Lao at the beginning.

Now, within his ability, he would not be stingy in giving Huo Yuhao such an opportunity.

Of course, Zhou Sichen also has his own considerations in his heart.

If one day in the future the situation requires him to rely on Huo Yuhao's power to achieve certain goals, he will most likely not have too much hesitation.

He understood that in this real world, everyone is striving for their own goals and constantly weighing the pros and cons.

Alas, as expected, as long as you are a person with feelings, you will definitely be a double standard person when faced with various choices...

It is always difficult to find an absolutely fair balance between emotions and interests, and Zhou Sichen is just one of those who constantly makes choices in this complex world of human nature and situations.
