Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 10: Spiritual Ascension Ceremony
"The Sun-Moon Royal Academy has strict security. If it weren't for Jing Hongchen's invitation, I wouldn't be able to appear here so easily." After giving some instructions, Sleepy Nightmare Douluo explained other things.

"It won't be long before our branch temple opens in Mingdu. I'll tell you the exact location then, and you can contact them if you need anything in the future. There are many nobles here, and now you have Lin Jiayi as your backer, so no one will bother you when you go in and out of the academy."

Lin Xiao had been standing there quietly until he heard what Sleepy Nightmare Douluo had just said, and finally some changes occurred in his heart.

Sleepy Nightmare Douluo is a spiritual soul master. His martial soul, Nightmare Demon, can sneak into the dreams of other soul masters silently. Since following Sleepy Nightmare Douluo, he has woken up from nightmares more than once.

Although there was no definite evidence, whether it was falling asleep inadvertently or the voice of Sleepy Nightmare Douluo ringing in his ears from time to time, he was extremely sure that he must have some hidden mark on his body that could allow Sleepy Nightmare Douluo to find him accurately.

Having lived in the Holy Spirit Church for so many years, Green Xiao was well aware of the suspicious nature of evil spirit masters. He didn't believe that Sleepy Nightmare Douluo trusted him with so many things because of their "master-disciple" relationship.

At the Sun-Moon Royal Academy, thanks to the protection provided, Nightmare Douluo was unable to learn what was happening around him. Although his whereabouts were still exposed to Nightmare Douluo, he finally had a chance to breathe.

"Also, you've reached the Soul King realm now. With your talent, it won't take long for you to break through the Sixth Ring. Your Soul Ascension Ceremony should also be put on the agenda."

Lin Xiao's heart tightened instantly.

Ordinary disciples in the Holy Spirit Church are divided into two types: Holy Spirits and Holy Servants. When all Holy Servants reach a certain level of cultivation, they will undergo a spiritual ascension ceremony to become Holy Spirits, which are the core disciples of the Holy Spirit Church.

Holy envoys like Lin Xiao are mostly representatives of the elders and worshippers. When it is inconvenient for the elders to show up, they will do the job on their behalf.

Although he had been in and out of the Holy Spirit Church headquarters many times and it was not the first time he heard these words, he knew nothing about the specific content of the soul-raising ceremony.

It was just that he vaguely sensed through the Higanbana martial spirit that the souls of all the holy spirits he had seen were incomplete.

This spirit-raising ceremony was definitely not a superficial formality; participating in it would lead to disastrous consequences. On the other hand, his whereabouts had been exposed to Nightmare Douluo, so what should he do...

Sleepy Nightmare Douluo didn't know what Lin Xiao was thinking, nor did he care much. After making the arrangements, he quietly disappeared.

"Hello, classmate. Are you also a special admission student who just started school today?"

Just as Sleepy Nightmare Douluo left, a crisp voice rang in his ears.

Hearing the voice, Lin Xiao looked up and saw a girl of similar age standing not far in front of him. She had a touch of light makeup on her face and looked a bit young and immature. But for some reason, Lin Xiao always felt an indescribable sense of incongruity.

"I saw you in the physical examination room before, but you were in there for quite a while. Did the teacher inside tell you something else?"

Seeing that Lin Xiao did not respond, the girl spoke again, with a slight blush on her face as she spoke.

Something was wrong, very wrong. The students at the Sun Moon Royal Academy were all relatively young, and when suddenly approached by such a beautiful girl, a special recruit of the same status, they inevitably wanted to exchange a few words with her.

But at this moment, Lin Xiao's heart was filled with vigilance.

While he was indeed good-looking, it wasn't enough to attract a woman he'd only met once. If this person were introverted, they wouldn't have spoken to her first; if they were extroverted, they wouldn't have blushed so easily. The blush on her face seemed like girlish shyness, but it also seemed like a performance specifically for him.

It's no wonder Lin Xiao has so many thoughts. Living in the Holy Spirit Church, if you don't think carefully, you might never have the chance to think again. There are many evil soul masters in the Holy Spirit Church who specialize in pretending to be decent women to deceive others.

Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't say anything and just kept staring at her, the girl's face became redder and redder, and there was a hint of crystal in her eyes, but she didn't show any intention of leaving.

"You are indeed here."

Lin Jiayi's voice suddenly broke the silence here.

"Teacher?" Lin Xiao turned around and looked.

The girl in front of him saw the person coming, stamped her feet lightly, and ran away hurriedly.

"What? You made the girl cry as soon as you entered the college?" Lin Jiayi looked at the figure walking away and said with a smile.

"There is no teacher and I don't know her."

As Lin Xiao spoke, he recalled the girl's slightly changing eyes at the last moment.

"By the way, teacher, why are you here?"

"Haha, didn't I tell you before that I would send you the course schedule?" Lin Jiayi didn't pursue the matter any further. "I just went to the dormitory area and found that you were not in your room, so I guessed that you came here. How could anyone who entered the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy not come to Mingde Hall to take a look?"

As Lin Jiayi spoke, he also looked up at the Mingde Hall in front of him, with a hint of pride in his eyes. "You should know that Mingde Hall is not only the Mingde Hall of the academy, but also the Mingde Hall of the Sun-Moon Empire. This is the highest soul guidance research institute in the entire Sun-Moon Empire."

"Well, teacher, I believe that one day you will have the opportunity to enter here." Lin Jiayi retracted his gaze. "Before that, you must think about which aspect of soul guidance knowledge you want to study in depth in the future. After all, a soul guide's energy is limited, and it is impossible to cover everything."

"Teacher, what do you think?" Lin Xiao felt that such matters should be left to professionals to judge.

"What I mean is..." Lin Jiayi touched his chin and thought for a moment, "Lin Xiao, what type of martial spirit do you have?"

"According to the classification of soul masters, my martial soul should belong to the powerful attack weapon martial soul, which is better at medium and long-range combat."

"In that case, I suggest you start with medium- and long-range soul guides." Lin Jiayi quickly answered, "You already have Soul King cultivation and are used to fighting enemies at medium and long distances. This combat habit will be difficult to change in a short period of time."

"On the other hand, although the academy currently doesn't have a soul guide that can accurately measure spiritual power, judging from your control of spiritual power during the test just now, your spiritual power is far superior to that of an ordinary soul master. Controlling medium and long-range soul guides will also be more conducive to your advantages."

"Of course, this is just the offensive aspect. I will also teach you how to make and use soul guides that can enhance defense, mobility, and other aspects. You will soon understand what advantages we soul guides have over soul masters."
