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

Chapter 131 Disagreement
The only thing that interested Lin Xiao was a method of increasing his spiritual power. By absorbing the spiritual power of others, he could improve himself. The stronger the spiritual power of the person being absorbed, the more he could gain.

It’s a pity that in the memory of Sleepy Nightmare Douluo, he seemed to only attack ordinary people and those whose cultivation was far inferior to his, so that even after devouring the mental power of many people, he did not get much improvement. Instead, his mental power became mottled.

Lin Xiao did not find any exploration of the Nightmare Demon martial spirit from Sleep Nightmare Douluo's memories, nor did he find much research related to nightmares. At most, there was only some content on how to weave nightmares.

The most common thing is how to use other people's fear to improve one's cultivation.

Even Soul Devouring Douluo, who is also an evil soul master, has done a lot of research on curses after his cultivation broke through the 90th level. It is no wonder that Nightmare Douluo's cultivation stagnated after breaking through the 90th level.

It's no wonder he was so heartbroken after learning about Lin Xiao's talent. If he really had such an ability, perhaps all he would think about every day is how to kill people.

Lin Xiao sighed softly and collected Nightmare Douluo's soul. It was rare to encounter the soul of a Spiritual Attribute Titled Douluo, and this one was much more complete than other residual souls. He had already promised Nightmare Douluo to make good use of his soul.

Sitting on the bed, Lin Xiao's breathing gradually became steady. As his soul power flowed through his body, scenes from his battle with Sleepy Douluo kept appearing before his eyes.

Coming upon such a battle after a series of improvements in his cultivation was a rare experience for Lin Xiao. He also needed to adjust his mental control, soul power consumption, and the coordination of his soul skills as his cultivation improved.

Actual combat is very important for both soul masters and soul engineers, but what is more important is what is gained in battle.

It is precisely this habit that has enabled Lin Xiao to grow to this point in the Holy Spirit Church's way of training disciples.

The sea of ​​​​spirituality gradually calmed down, with only a faint gray mist swirling slightly, exuding the purest breath of death...

"teacher."

Several months later, in the soul guide test area, Lin Jiayi was watching two disciples fighting on a stage, when suddenly Lin Xiao's voice sounded beside him.

"Are you ready for the assessment?" Lin Jiayi turned around when he heard that.

"Yeah." Lin Xiao nodded and glanced around.

There weren't many students around the arena, only about a dozen figures, many of whom were familiar faces to Lin Xiao. Besides Lin Jiayi, there were two elderly men, also teachers at the academy.

These should be the contestants prepared by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy to participate in the Soul Fighting Competition. What surprised Lin Xiao was that he also saw Nana here.

But come to think of it, Nana missed the preliminary selection when she first enrolled, but later qualified for the competition based on her ability. Now that she enrolled earlier, it's not surprising that she was selected as a preliminary player.

As for the other students, he was not unfamiliar with them. He had lived in the academy for so long and had met them more or less once.

"Well, don't be nervous." Lin Jiayi nodded. "You won't have any problems entering Mingde Hall now. Besides, the assessment is personally handled by the head of Mingde Hall. You've been an intern before, so today we're just going through the formalities."

"After entering Mingde Hall, the way you learn will also change. In the past, I taught you how to make soul guides, but students who are able to enter Mingde Hall have already found the path they want to take and need to learn what they are interested in on their own."

"Although the soul guide you're researching has never appeared before, there are still many similarities between soul guides. In addition, if you have the opportunity to meet a ninth-level soul guide, their guidance may be enough to benefit you for a lifetime."

"I understand, teacher." Lin Xiao said and looked at the arena again. Ma Rulong was controlling the soul guide cannon to shoot at the feet of another student, sending him off the arena, but it did not cause much damage. It was obvious that he was very skilled in controlling the soul guide cannon.

"What do you think of this battle?" Lin Jiayi turned to look at Lin Xiao, "From a Soul Master's perspective." "Hmm..." Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, "I felt everyone fought too politely."

As soon as these words were spoken, before Lin Jiayi could react, an old man next to him turned around and looked at him with an obviously unfriendly expression.

"Sorry, I have never participated in the Soul Fighting Competition. I was just talking casually." Lin Xiao took a glance and apologized at the speed of light. He had no intention of getting entangled with the old man.

Lin Jiayi turned around and stared at the old man, then looked at Lin Xiao, "It's okay, just talking casually."

Lin Xiao looked at Lin Jiayi and thought for a moment. "Battles are inherently about using any means necessary. I've fought against many spirit masters, and the most difficult ones aren't actually spirit masters with high cultivation levels, but opponents with strange methods."

"Sometimes, even if your cultivation level isn't as high as your opponent's, you can still defeat them with a single strike. In my opinion, the biggest advantage of a Soul Engineer over a Soul Master is that their fighting methods are difficult to predict."

"Unlike the fixed soul skills of soul masters, soul guides are inherently diverse. Soul guides' methods are more difficult for opponents to predict than those of soul masters."

"Hmph." The old man at the side finally couldn't help but speak, "Every soul engineer is proficient in different soul guides. Even if the types of soul guides are different, a soul engineer's fighting style is fixed."

"As long as I fight a few more matches in the ring, I'll be noticed by others, not to mention these little tricks that are not worthy of being shown on the stage."

"That's why I said I had never participated in the Soul Fighting Competition. It was just a casual remark." Lin Xiao smiled at the old man and had no intention of arguing with him.

He also knew how difficult it was to change a person's mind, and in the eyes of the other person, he was just a student, so what he said was even less important.

What's more, Lin Xiao has never participated in any major competitions. All he has experienced is actual combat, and he rarely leaves anyone alive every time he attacks.

Lin Jiayi glanced at Lin Xiao thoughtfully and said, "Well, it's getting late. You should go to Mingde Hall to take the test first."

"Yeah." Lin Xiao just came over to say hello, nodded and was about to leave.

"correct."

"Is there anything else, teacher?"

"What's the highest level of soul guide your self-propelled soul guide cannon can reach?"

Lin Xiao paused and began to understand what Lin Jiayi wanted to do.

"Teacher, does this soul guide conform to the rules of the Soul Fighting Competition?"

Lin Jiayi smiled and said, "I don't know if it complies with the rules, but there's no explicit prohibition in the rules."

"Well, give me some time, I can probably make a level six self-propelled soul guide cannon."

"Okay, go ahead." The smile on Lin Jiayi's face became noticeably more intense.
