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

Chapter 143 The decisive battle is coming
After saying hello to Xuan Zi again, Xu Jiawei led his men away.

"Your Majesty." Cheng Gang walked to Xu Jiawei and spoke softly.

Xu Jiawei raised his hand and stopped Cheng Gang from continuing.

"I put a lot of effort into building a good relationship with Shrek Academy, but it almost went to waste because of this incident."

"Your Majesty, Shrek Academy has never been involved in the affairs of the three great empires. If we make friends with them, I'm afraid..."

"Of course it's not because of these things, but because of the Sun-Moon Empire." Xu Jiawei sighed, "Ever since the incident with the Sun-Moon Empire's royal family a few years ago, there have been more and more border movements. I'm afraid that by then it will be too late to show goodwill to Shrek Academy."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Gang glanced back in the direction of the Starlight Hotel. "Your Majesty, could the news about the 100,000-year soul beast have been spread by someone from the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy?"

"If something happens to a Shrek Academy disciple here, they will be the ones who benefit the most. Not only will they weaken a strong opponent in the Fighting Spirit Tournament, but they can also cause discord between us and Shrek Academy."

"If it were really them, it would be much easier." Xu Jiawei frowned. "However... they probably don't have the extra time to plan this. I'm afraid there might be enemies we don't know about after this."

"We can't just let this go. Take your people and investigate the city to see where the rumor originated."

"Yes."

Downstairs at the Xinghuang Hotel, someone came to find Xu Jiawei not long after he left.

"His Majesty has already arranged accommodations for you all. Please follow me."

Lin Xiao glanced in the direction of Shrek Academy. Their people had no intention of leaving. They were probably waiting for Ma Xiaotao to fully recover.

Just thinking back to the changes that happened to Ma Xiaotao at that time, it might not be that easy to fully recover.

Retracting his gaze, Lin Xiao followed the people from the Xingluo Empire towards their new residence. However, he had only taken a few steps when he saw a shadow slowly floating towards him.

Lin Xiao looked straight ahead, pretending not to see anything. A moment later, the voice of Wanhun Douluo sounded in his ears.

"The leader has issued an order. The disciples of the sect are to prepare for the birth of the Saint. Once Shrek Academy leaves Xingluo City, they will immediately welcome the Saint back to the sect."

"Keep an eye on the Saint's movements these few days. If you discover they are leaving early, inform me immediately."

Lin Xiao glanced around and nodded imperceptibly.

Zhongli Wu and Wanhun Douluo were indeed here to test Ma Xiaotao.

There is the Star Luo Empire's Protector Douluo in Star Luo City. If he takes action during the Soul Fighting Competition, it will naturally cause the Star Luo Empire to take action.

But as long as the Soul Fighting Competition is over, the Holy Spirit Cult will only have to deal with Xuan Zi, and it seems that Zhongli Wu is already prepared.

Although some accidents occurred in the Star Emperor Hotel, fortunately no contestants were injured and the Fighting Spirit Competition was held as scheduled.

As the Soul Fighting Tournament progressed, fewer and fewer teams remained on the field, until only Shrek Academy, which had won the championship for several consecutive years, and the Sun-Moon Empire Royal Soul Instructor Academy, which had challenged but failed time and time again, were left.

"Senior."

Early in the morning, with still some time before the finals began, the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy had already gathered in the conference room.

As soon as Lin Xiao walked in, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"How did you sleep last night?" Lin Xiao laughed.

"Yeah, I had a good rest." Ma Rulong, Micah and others nodded.

"That's good." Lin Xiao's eyes swept across everyone and lingered on one of the students for a moment.

"There's one more thing I need to emphasize: the invincible shield isn't invincible. While I don't entirely agree with Shrek Academy's teaching methods, I do agree on one thing: over-reliance on the invincible shield will make you lose your sense of danger from the outside world." Lin Xiao sighed inwardly. In his memory, a student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy had died in Ma Xiaotao's flames the moment the shield disappeared precisely because he relied too much on it.

After spending so many days with these classmates, I should try to remind them of some things.

While everyone was talking, the door of the conference room was suddenly knocked and Ma Rulong's father appeared outside.

"Teacher Ma."

"Well, luckily I made it in time. It seems I'm not too late." Ma Rulong's father breathed a sigh of relief and took two steps forward to stand in front of Ma Rulong. "I have received the news that the Xinghuang Hotel was attacked. This is the soul guide I specially prepared."

As he spoke, the storage soul guide in his hand flashed, and a huge sword appeared in his hand.

The moment Lin Xiao saw the giant sword, his eyes moved slightly, and a name suddenly came to his mind: Sword of Judgment.

"Father, what is this?"

Ma Rulong took the giant sword in a daze and spoke with some confusion.

"According to the information you sent back, I have discussed with the teachers of the academy that the martial spirit of the student with the highest spirit power in Shrek Academy is not pure. Although I don't know the reason, there must be a power within her body that she cannot fully control."

"And this Sword of Judgment uses its dark power to draw out the darkness within the opponent, and then uses the power of light to judge them. It's just the right weapon to deal with that contestant."

Ma Rulong's father's expression turned cold. "This is an eighth-level soul guide. You need to use the power of the memorial chapter to activate it."

"Teacher Ma, the memorial chapter will affect the life span of the user. The captain..." Micah stepped forward to advise him, but under the gaze of Ma Rulong's father, he did not say the rest of the words.

"Remember, this time, you are not allowed to fail."

"I understand, father." Ma Rulong nodded and put away the Sword of Judgment.

"Okay." Ma Rulong's father nodded with satisfaction. "It's almost time, let's go."

"Senior..." Seeing Ma Rulong's father leave first, Micah looked at Lin Xiao.

"It's okay. I probably won't have a chance to use this sword."

Lin Xiao shook his head gently, and Micah felt relieved and followed him.

Soldiers stood in rows outside Xingluo Square, and crowds of people on both sides kept shouting the name of Shrek Academy. A group of people from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy walked on the street with unhappy expressions.

"It's okay. This is the Xingluo Empire after all. They certainly don't want to see us win. Once you win this game, someone will naturally call out your name."

Lin Xiao smiled and comforted him.

"Senior, why do you look more confident than us?" Ma Rulong looked back.

"If I say I have guessed Shrek Academy's tactics, would you believe me?"

When Ma Rulong's father heard Lin Xiao's words, he looked back and shook his head with some dissatisfaction.

He had studied Shrek Academy for so many years but he still couldn't say he had seen through their tactics. Young people really didn't know how to speak in moderation.

"Really?"

However, to his surprise, Ma Rulong did not have the slightest doubt and his eyes lit up.
