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

Chapter 130 The Third

"Come out, I see you."

Inside the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Lin Xiao had just returned to the door when he saw a sneaky figure.

"It's still the same as before. Your eyesight is so sharp." The man didn't seem to intend to hide from Lin Xiao. After his whereabouts were exposed, he walked out openly. "Where have you been recently?"

The person waiting for him here was none other than Shangguan Qing. Shangguan Qing had come into contact with quite a few people over the years, and it was clear that her methods were more than enough to deal with those students. It was unknown how much she had gathered from other students for the Ordinary Alliance.

"This is just a deal between you and me. I don't need to tell you these things, right?"

"Oh, I just care about you. After all, if you encounter any accident, we will also suffer a great loss, right?"

"Okay, you know I won't fall for your tricks. Tell me, what do you want to know this time?" Lin Xiao glanced around and then looked away.

"What's wrong? Isn't it enough that I just care about you? And I didn't expect you to be so popular. I'm not the only one who came to see you recently."

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes when he heard that, then turned and walked towards the dormitory.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't you want to know who are the people who come to see you?"

"Okay, okay, I do have other things to do." Shangguan Qing spoke quickly. Seeing Lin Xiao stop and give him a disgruntled look, he said, "Are you not interested in girls? I should have suggested that Sister Wei'er cultivate some boys."

"I'm just not interested in you." Lin Xiao looked Shangguan Qing up and down. "But your suggestion is not bad. Maybe some people really do have special fetishes."

"Hmph, if I don't talk to you anymore, you'll just say something that makes me angry." Shangguan Qing said, pulling out a storage soul guide from his arms, "Just like the last time, there are some rare metals inside."

Lin Xiao reached out to take it, put it away without even looking at it, and then returned an empty storage soul guide.

The Ordinary Alliance controlled some underground businesses, and some rare metals that were rarely seen on the market were not difficult for them to obtain. In the past few years, relying on some gossip from the Holy Spirit Church, he had obtained a lot of things from the Ordinary Alliance.

"What do you want to know?"

"Are there fewer of you staying in Mingdu recently?" Shangguan Qing moved closer and lowered his voice slightly.

Lin Xiao glanced at Shangguan Qing but didn't ask how they'd discovered this. The Ordinary Alliance's spies were pervasive, and even if they couldn't get anyone inside the Holy Spirit Cult, they could still gather a lot of information through indirect means.

"Indeed, several elders who were in charge of the branch temples have left Mingdu."

Shangguan Qing continued to look at Lin Xiao, "That's all? What did they do?"

"That's another price, but it probably won't be back in the short term." Although Lin Xiao didn't know when those elders would come back, he knew that the war between the Sun-Moon Empire and the three major empires would not happen for several years.

"If you want to do something, now is a good opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qing blinked. "You don't seem worried at all about your Holy Spirit Sect's business in Mingdu?" Although Shangguan Wei'er's strength was unpredictable, Lin Xiao really didn't think the Ordinary Alliance had the strength to contend with the Holy Spirit Sect. The Holy Spirit Sect could force the Ordinary Alliance to give up its business in Mingdu with just a few elders, and there were even more terrifying people in the sect.

"The Holy Spirit Church's business isn't limited to Mingdu, and I'm not in charge of what's going on here. If you could take over all of Mingdu's underground businesses, you might be able to give me more."

"Then I'll take your kind words. If that day ever comes, I won't forget your kindness."

Shangguan Qing smiled generously. Lin Xiao glanced at her, then turned and walked towards the dormitory.

Shangguan Qing behind him looked at Lin Xiao's back and snorted in dissatisfaction, then turned and left.

Inside the dormitory, Lin Xiao didn't enter into meditation. Instead, he raised his hand slightly, looking at the shadow that was constantly flowing in his palm. This was the soul of Sleepy Nightmare Douluo, and it was also the third relatively complete soul he had mastered.

His martial soul, the red spider lily, has the ability to accommodate souls, but those densely packed shadows can only be regarded as residual souls at best. They are not complete and have various defects. Some have even completely lost their memories of their previous lives and are just floating around in confusion.

The assassin he controlled also had a damaged soul at the beginning. He used other residual souls to transform him into the current one with only instinct left.

As for the Soul-Devouring Douluo who had always existed in the Soul-Devouring Knife in the form of a curse, his cultivation level in his lifetime was no longer that of an ordinary Titled Douluo. He was also proficient in spirits and curses. Even after thousands of years, his soul still retained some of his previous methods.

Before this, the assassin was more of a means for Lin Xiao to explore the environment and observe the world with the vision of his soul. Even if used in actual combat, the only advantage he had was concealment.

But in the process of fighting with Sleepy Nightmare Douluo, Alex made him understand the more clever use of souls. They were proficient in assassination or curse in their lifetime, and these abilities would not be lost even after becoming souls. They could also use Lin Xiao's soul power and mental power to display their own abilities.

Just a simple spell can transform them from dull "tools" into "helpers" with abilities different from his own.

Perhaps this is the true necromancy.

What Alex said was right. Although his research on the soul surpassed that of other soul masters in this world, his control over the level of necromancy was still quite superficial.

Then the Nightmare Douluo in front of him...

Lin Xiao lowered his head slightly and looked at the palm of his hand. The translucent shadow was still struggling. Lin Xiao could feel the unwillingness of Sleepy Nightmare Douluo before his death.

Perhaps he could retain more of Nightmare Douluo's memories. As a spiritual attribute spirit master, Nightmare Douluo's abilities weren't originally in his body. Even if he didn't have a martial spirit in his spirit state, he should have a unique understanding of how to use his mental power.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao no longer hesitated, his mental power spread out, a faint blue color flashed in his eyes, and he probed into the depths of Sleepy Nightmare Douluo's soul.

Scenes of memories kept flashing before Lin Xiao's eyes, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

The abilities possessed by Nightmare Douluo seemed quite different from what he had imagined. He had originally thought that as a Titled Douluo, even if his strength was relatively weak, he should have his own unique understanding of the use of mental power.

But unexpectedly, what Lin Xiao saw from his memories were mostly about how to create panic to improve his cultivation.
