Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 217 We are narrowing down the definition of evil spirit masters, they are expanding it.

Just as Federal Secretary-General Pan Wen was feeling puzzled, Soul Douluo suddenly whispered:
"Please excuse us for now. We need to discuss our upcoming trip to Xingluo."

Pan Wen was taken aback, but he quickly realized what was happening, nodded, and left without asking any further questions.

Let's leave professional matters to professionals.

Seeing the Soul Douluo suddenly become so solemn, the expressions of the Amorous Douluo and the others also became serious.

Is there something wrong with this pill?

These pills are for Huo Yuhao and the other person, it shouldn't be that bad, right?

"You really made the right choice with this dance. If you had only learned about this item after entering the Star Luo Federation, it would have been too late..."

Instead of mentioning the pills, Zhenhun looked at Huo Yuhao with admiration, "And you were able to detect the unusual nature of the pills the moment you touched them... Your keenness is truly admirable."

He paused halfway through his sentence before finishing the second half.

Actually, that wasn't what he wanted to say, but there were outsiders present, so he couldn't delve into why Huo Yuhao had discovered the pill was wrong; otherwise, he would definitely have asked him.

After all, according to his observation, others, even Nanali, would not be able to immediately detect the problem with this pill if they did not take it. Among the powerful figures present, only he could use the characteristics of his martial soul to discover the secret within it immediately—the wisps of blood energy and soul power hidden deep within the pill.

Clearly, the person who refined the pills went to great lengths to make the ingredients less obvious.

"What's wrong with this pill?" Dark Phoenix Douluo asked, frowning. "Do they still dare to poison Yuhao and Na'er? If that's the case, I'll take them down right now!"

The Soul Douluo shook his head and sighed, "It's unclear what the problem is with the pill itself, but the materials used to refine it are problematic. This is a Blood Pill, or to be more precise... a Human Pill! A pill refined using a person's blood, soul power, and spirit!"

The amorous Douluo and the others all changed color.

Human pill? A pill made from human ingredients?

Knowing the shock in everyone's hearts, the Soul Douluo used his soul power to draw out the energy within and showed it to the others.

This kind of elixir is equivalent to turning a person's power into something like a spirit ring, which can naturally increase the age of the spirit ring.

The Amorous Douluo observed carefully for a moment, his expression grave. "This is... the method of an evil soul master?"

When he thought of refining a person into a powerful medicine, the first person he thought of was an evil spirit master.

If that's the case, then Xingluo's current situation... is probably not optimistic.

Seeing the increasingly serious expressions on everyone's faces, Soul Douluo continued, "I still need to investigate further whether this pill has any side effects, but I can confirm that if any evil martial soul possessor takes this pill, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"After all, its material is human. If it is consumed by those who possess evil martial spirits, it is equivalent to tempting them to devour their own kind, which may completely arouse their evil nature and cause them to fall into the demonic path."

Nanali frowned and said, "Not only that, right? Since you can refine pills that increase the age of spirit rings, you can probably refine pills that increase spirit power as well. Moreover, it would be simpler to refine pills that increase the age of spirit rings. After all, this is what evil spirit masters are best at."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yulai said quietly, "If such a pill really exists, even if a non-evil spirit possessor takes it, over time, they will probably find it difficult to extricate themselves from the thrill of rapid improvement... It's simply a powerful tool for cultivating evil spirit masters!"

Just like taking addictive drugs, once the withdrawal symptoms begin, even a Soul Master who was originally determined will stop at nothing in pursuit of power and eventually become an alternative evil Soul Master.

Or rather, that's what a demonic soul master is. After all, the definition of a demonic soul master has changed in their federation.

In the Douluo Continent, the term "evil soul master" used to refer to those who possessed evil martial souls. Even those who did not use evil means to enhance their evil martial souls were included in this category.

Nowadays, "evil soul masters" refers to those who will stop at nothing to increase their power, devouring souls and flesh to enhance themselves; whether or not they possess an evil martial soul is secondary.

"If" means "if".

If normal Soul Masters kill people and plunder the life essence and souls of others to refine these pills in order to obtain these pills to enhance themselves, then what is the difference between them and evil Soul Masters?
The air around the high table seemed to freeze for a moment, and everyone understood Dark Phoenix Douluo's unspoken message.

The Federation of today is no longer the one that judges good and evil solely based on the attributes of one's martial soul. True evil has never been the martial soul itself, but rather the human heart.

If a single pill could grant an ordinary Soul Master the power that even years of arduous training might not yield, and the cost might not be high, then how many people would be willing to... kill for it?
At least in Zhenhun's opinion, if he had taken that kind of pill in the past, he wouldn't be Zhenhun Douluo now, but the Dark Blood Demon of the Holy Spirit Cult, right?

Suppressing Souls, Suppressing Souls... The true meaning of this title does not refer to his ability to suppress other people's souls, but rather to constantly remind himself to suppress his bloodthirsty soul.

But these elixirs can lure people into the abyss!

The Soul Douluo took a deep breath and glanced at the members of the Star Luo Envoy around him.

"These mission members don't seem to know the details of the elixir. Let's send this information back to the Federation first. We still need to carefully examine the situation in Star Luo."

"And don't forget, some members of the Star Luo delegation are still in the Federation, discussing trade cooperation and other matters. What if they release these pills into the market..."

Nanali's eyelids twitched, and she immediately stood up and left her seat. "I'll go make the contact!"

If these pills were to enter the Douluo Federation's market... the consequences would be no joke.

The Amorous Douluo also left his seat with a heavy expression, intending to exchange information with Shrek Academy.

The Soul Douluo then instructed Huo Yuhao, "You should also remind your companions not to take these pills if they get them from Xingluo."

Huo Yuhao nodded, not wanting to disturb them any further, and turned to leave with Gu Yuena.

Watching them depart, the Soul-Suppressing Douluo gazed wistfully towards the Star Luo Continent and said to the Dark Phoenix Douluo:
"It's better to guide than to block. The Spirit Pagoda and the Federation have spent countless years narrowing down the definition of evil soul masters and winning over those who can be won over with evil martial souls, which has reduced the number of evil soul masters in the Douluo Federation's environment."

“If things are as you expect, then Xingluo is the opposite of us. They have spent countless years expanding the definition of evil soul masters.”

"How many people were involved in manufacturing these human pills? How many people have consumed them? What is the difference between those who knew about them and evil spirit masters?"

Leng Yulai remained silent for a moment before saying, "If that's really the case, then we might be facing the strongest evil spirit organization in history—because it's a country that breeds evil spirit masters!"

……

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye since the banquet that day.

The shadow of the Star Luo Continent quietly appeared before the people on the Star Luo Ship.
