Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 236 Locating the Evil Soul Master (Please Subscribe!!!)

Long Xiaoyao gazed at the ancient golden tree from afar.

He recalled his conversation with Moon at that time.

“If you, Mu En, had lived a few more years, perhaps you would have made a different request. Ma Xiaotao’s martial soul has completely fallen, and her dark power is completely different from mine. It is pure evil darkness. Even if she is not taken away by the Holy Spirit Cult, she is destined to become an evil soul master.”

He shook his head.

Based on his understanding of Moon, this possibility is very high.

This old friend, who has valued the academy most in the latter half of his life, will now do everything in his power to restore the academy to its former glory and acquire more advanced combat power as quickly as possible.

Long Xiaoyao stood there for a while, then turned and quietly left.

Before his death, Mu En managed to find him and asked him for a favor: to stop the Holy Spirit Cult from infiltrating Shrek Academy. No matter which Shrek Academy student's martial soul had fallen into evil form, he had to prevent the Holy Spirit Cult from entering Shrek.

However, no matter how much Mu En anticipated, he still did not expect that Tang Ya, one of the two people he was most worried about who would fall into evil martial spirits, would leave the academy on the eve of her fall, declaring that she would rebuild the Tang Sect herself.

Unsurprisingly, she disappeared.
Mingdu.

The exchange program was quickly finalized and suitable students were notified.

Jing Hongchen called Su Ming to her office.

What are your thoughts on evil spirit masters?

“Cut the grass and root out the roots.”

Su Ming's words brought a bitter smile to Jing Hongchen's face.

Cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots sounds easy, but it's far from simple.

"Since the attack you suffered on your way to the competition last time, there have been no fewer than ten incidents of evil spirit masters causing trouble within the Sun Moon Empire. They have demonstrated tremendous power. If we were to suppress them, the Empire's strength would likely be weakened, and then the Star Luo Empire would be in trouble."

"Is this the royal family's intention?" Su Ming asked.

"A little."

Su Ming nodded.

It seems Xu Tianran wasn't so stupid after all.

The Holy Spirit Church pressured him to make a choice, and after remaining silent for a while, he finally made a decision.

"It seems that our Crown Prince has already gained initial control of the royal family's power."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen's pupils contracted.

This kid is surprisingly perceptive.

He doesn't look like a thirteen-year-old at all.

"The evil spirit masters' revenge is comprehensive. Not only has the empire been retaliated against, but the Blacksmith Association has also been destroyed three times. You should be aware of this," Jing Hongchen said.

Su Ming narrowed his eyes.

Within the Sun and Moon Empire, there are five Blacksmith Associations. Mingdu is the safest, but the other four are not so safe.

Even with the selection of the four major cities closest to Mingdu to watch over and help each other, it was still impossible to completely intercept the attacks of the evil spirit masters.

Not only the Sun Moon Empire, but also the Blacksmith Associations of the Douluo Three Kingdoms, which have information about the entire continent, have been attacked to varying degrees.

This is digging up his roots.

"Our Blacksmith Association will contribute to the eradication of evil spirit masters." After thinking for a moment, Su Ming gave his answer: "I will draft a contribution point system that will be applicable throughout the continent. With contribution points, one can directly exchange for spirit metals within the association, and even customize them as long as there are enough contribution points."

Su Ming paused, then added.

“A spirit alloy would also work.”

The Holy Spirit Cult is too overbearing. If we don't take action against them in advance, they will soon become too powerful to control.

This is a force that grows stronger in times of chaos; we must eliminate them before the chaos truly arrives.

"President Su Ming is very righteous. On behalf of all the Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire, I would like to thank President Su Ming."

Jing Hongchen stood up and solemnly cupped his hands to Su Ming.

"In addition, give me a month, and I will develop a soul tool to locate evil soul masters. I hope Mingde Hall can mass-produce it."

Positioning an evil spirit master?
Jing Hongchen stared at Su Ming, her eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

Can this be used for location tracking?
Even Mingde Hall wouldn't dare claim they could create such a soul tool. "Hall Master, please wait with confidence."

Su Ming can not only locate evil spirit masters, he can also locate the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult.

However, given the two major limitations of the Holy Spirit Cult, he cannot truly destroy the Holy Spirit Cult for the time being.

The current task is to deplete the evil spirit master's resources in advance and prevent them from attacking at will, thus collecting resentment and killing energy.

"Is everything ok, Mr. Yi?"

"Simple, the faith of evil spirit masters cannot be faked."

"Yes, Elder Yi remembers to add some restrictions to the judgment. Some soul masters have flawed martial souls, but have not caused any killings, so they are not evil soul masters."

When Su Ming said this, he was thinking of Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo truly possessed an evil martial soul. The flaws in his martial soul were very obvious, but he did not choose the path of an evil soul master.

"It's not difficult."

After giving a nonchalant response, Electrolux began to deduce the core magic array within Su Ming's spiritual sea.

After leaving Jing Hongchen's office, Su Ming found Zhang Wei.

"Zhang Wei, how's your forging coming along?"

"I'm still a long way from reaching the hundredth level of refinement," Zhang Wei said, somewhat disappointed.

He wasn't particularly talented in forging.

He returned to learning forging after reaching a high level, but his progress was clearly not fast.

"It's alright, just study hard and practice diligently. You can master the Hundred Forging within three years. You can't obtain a Soul Spirit for the time being anyway." After offering simple words of comfort, Su Ming changed the subject and said, "I have a mission here. Think about it."

"What task? If I can do it, I definitely won't refuse."

"Go to the Shrek City Blacksmith Association branch. It's already completed, and I want you to go there to serve as the branch president."

Zhang Wei, who had been full of confidence, froze upon hearing this.

Where to go?

Shrek?
“I don’t trust others much, I’ll only feel at ease if it’s Zhang Wei who goes.” Su Ming patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and said, “I know you’ve been to Shrek Academy before, there’s no need to deliberately hide it. You don’t need to suppress what you hate or find annoying. Once you’re there, the association will support you, so go ahead and do it.”

Zhang Wei took a deep breath, and you could feel the trembling in his eyes.

Seemingly recalling the treatment he received at Shrek Academy, a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes.

"As the branch president over there, I need you to correct the atmosphere at Shrek Academy."

Correcting the prevailing trend?

Zhang Wei was stunned.

Isn't it about revenge?
“The teaching atmosphere has gone wrong, we need to correct it.” Su Ming repeated, “This isn’t about revenge, we’re doing this for Shrek Academy’s good.”

Zhang Wei understood.

Yes, this is for Shrek.

"Let's pack up and get ready to go."

After saying goodbye to Zhang Wei, Su Ming went to make other preparations.

A month later.

Zhang Wei arrived in Shrek City and became the president of the local blacksmith association branch. Students from the Mingde Hall exchange program also arrived in Shrek City with him.

The students from Shrek Academy also arrived at Mingde Hall at the same time.

Su Ming looked at Huo Yuhao in the crowd.

“Level 30, no Soul Hunting, so he must have missed the Auspicious Beast event.”

Under Su Ming's gaze, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but shrink back.

He had a feeling that he was being seen through.
