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

Chapter 139 Temporary Workers

"I'm going back first. Keep an eye on Shrek Academy's movements. If there's any trace of the Saint, contact me immediately."

Wanhun Douluo stood up and walked to the window.

"Yes, elder."

Lin Xiao replied, and when he looked up, the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo was no longer in the room, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo would come up with something else.

He knew in his heart that Xuan Zi was watching every move of the Shrek Academy group at this moment. If he acted rashly, he would only fall into his hands. Even if he really wanted to take action, he would have to wait for Zhongli Wu to arrive.

Fortunately, Wanhun Douluo listened to his advice and prepared to spread the news. The spread of news takes time, and by that time, Ma Xiaotao might have already entered the arena. As long as she reveals a hint of evil fire, he won't need to worry about the rest.

After a delay of some time, the group from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy returned to their residence not long after.

"Where is Teacher Ma?" In the corridor, Lin Xiao looked at everyone with subtle expressions.

"There is an urgent matter that needs to be handled by Teacher Ma, so I asked them to go back first." The person who answered him was not the team leader Ma Rulong, but Xiao Hongchen.

Lin Xiao did not hesitate to send the teacher in charge of the Soul Fighting Competition back. He was already clear that Xiao Hongchen probably bought the last item as he remembered, the embryo of the "hundred thousand year" soul beast.

After all, there are not many people who can compare with Mingdetang in financial resources.

Lin Xiao did not continue to ask, because the less you know about some things, the better.

"With the two teachers away, how do you plan the subsequent competitions?"

"They should be back soon." Ma Rulong said, raising his hand and revealing a storage soul guide. "Father left all the soul guides here. The competition schedule has been determined. We won't encounter Shrek Academy, but we won't have any problem dealing with other academies."

"I think with Shrek Academy's lineup this year, we can easily defeat them even if we meet them."

Someone suddenly spoke up, and Ma Rulong's expression changed instantly. He glanced back and said, "Don't underestimate the enemy. Have you forgotten what happened on the first day? There are still three people from Shrek Academy who haven't shown up yet. I guess they are their regular players. They still have hidden strengths."

Ma Rulong suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Xiao, "Senior Lin, why don't you come with us? After we go on stage, you can give these younger students some pointers."

"Sure, but I can't say I can give you any guidance. If there's anything you don't understand during the game, we can discuss it together." Lin Xiao glanced at it and nodded slightly. "Go back and rest. If you lose the next elimination round, you won't be able to compete in the next round."

As the competition progressed, more and more academies were eliminated, and the Xingluo Empire also opened more spectator seats. Every day before the competition started, the crowds of spectators would surround the arena.

The news from the auction was still leaked. After all, it was the embryo of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and it was the first time it appeared in the tens of thousands of years of history of Douluo Continent.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy's group seemed to have been specifically instructed not to reveal who ultimately won the auction item. Lin Xiao was happy with this and didn't inquire. He simply led them to the Douluo Competition's preparation area.

In the preparation area for the Soul Fighting Competition, when Lin Xiao was sitting at the front of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Wang Yan, who was not far away, was obviously stunned for a moment.

Lin Xiao's gaze swept over the three Shrek Academy regular team members, and when he saw Wang Yan, he smiled and nodded. Wang Yan subconsciously returned the greeting, but the look of confusion on his face did not lessen at all. "Teacher Wang, what's wrong?" Dai Yueheng, who was standing next to him, noticed that Wang Yan's expression was not right and leaned closer to ask.

"You've been recovering from your injuries these past few days, so you don't know the members of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy yet. I've never seen that person in their team before."

"Could it be the player who hasn't made a move like us?" Dai Yuheng turned his head slightly to take a look.

"Probably not." Wang Yan shook his head. "The contestants for the Fighting Spirit Tournament have registered in advance. Their fourteen main and reserve players have all appeared. The Xingluo Empire will not agree to a last-minute player replacement."

"Could it be the team leader? He looks a little too young." Dai Yuheng continued to guess based on Wang Yan's words.

"It's not impossible. After all, the Soul Fighting Competition only stipulates the participants, not the instructors. But why did the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy suddenly change the instructor? Is there some hidden strategy?"

Wang Yan lowered his head in thought. Suddenly, he noticed the looks the other students were giving him. His brows relaxed immediately, and he smiled at them. "Well, no matter what tactics our opponents have, the fact that you've made it this far has already exceeded my expectations. It's quite remarkable."

"Whether you win or lose in the following games, you will always be the best kids in my heart."

Everyone from Shrek Academy had smiles on their faces. The older ones could actually see that Wang Yan still attached great importance to the final victory or else he wouldn't be so concerned about the personnel changes in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.

But it was not easy to say it out loud at this time, so I just laughed along with everyone else.

Only the three selected players smiled somewhat reluctantly. They were supposed to represent Shrek Academy in the Fighting Spirit Competition and win the championship as in previous years.

But because of an accident, I couldn't play and even had to rely on a group of reserve players to support the team, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.

"Senior, the one sitting in the front row is called Dai Yueheng. He was the captain of the Shrek Academy reserve team in the previous class, and the female student next to him has never appeared."

Ma Rulong was also introducing the Shrek people to Lin Xiao. "They haven't shown up since the Soul Fighting Competition started. They suddenly came here today. I'm afraid they're going to go on stage."

"Well, let's take this opportunity to take a good look." Lin Xiao nodded and glanced at the audience behind him.

I don’t know if the Holy Spirit Church has sent other people here to watch the Soul Fighting Competition. Maybe they can see something from Ma Xiaotao.

In the Shrek Academy preparation area, He Caitou would turn his head from time to time to glance towards the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. When he looked away again, he happened to see Huo Yuhao staring at him with a puzzled look on his face.

"Brother He, what did you find?"

"No." He Caitou scratched his head honestly, "I just felt that the guy from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy looked familiar. I felt like I'd seen him before."

Huo Yuhao followed He Caitou's gaze and lowered his voice, "Brother He, is it about your background..."

"Probably not, I can't remember clearly."
