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

Chapter 152 New Power
"Outside that evil soul master's base, your purpose was actually different from ours, right?"

Zhang Lexuan had already guessed the soul ring configuration that far exceeded the optimal ratio, and the outfit they wore when they first met, after hearing Xuanzi's description. But perhaps holding on to a glimmer of luck, she still knocked off the mask on Lin Xiao's face, wanting to see the true face behind the mask.

"Yes, I went there specifically to 'clean up' the aftermath in order to prevent you from discovering too many of the Holy Church's secrets."

"But why did you..." Zhang Lexuan paused and did not say the second half of the sentence. After a moment of silence, she slowly calmed down.

"Why did you take Xiao Tao away?"

Lin Xiao turned around and stopped looking at Zhang Lexuan. He sighed and said, "The Saint has returned. You can't stop her."

Bending down to pick up half of the mask on the ground, Lin Xiao turned his head to look, but the other half was gone, and he didn't know where it had fallen.

Looking up into the distance, Lin Xiao turned back and said, "Don't chase them anymore, and don't enter the Sun-Moon Empire easily. What you see is just the tip of the iceberg of the Holy Church."

"in addition……"

Lin Xiao was silent for a long time. "It won't be long before you know that my name is not Shen Hao, but Lin Xiao."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black cloak flew up again. Lin Xiao stepped heavily on the ground and headed towards the Sun and Moon Empire.

"Lin Xiao——"

Zhang Lexuan suddenly spoke, her voice no longer as cold as before, and Lin Xiao's departing figure paused slightly.

"Please take good care of Xiao Tao for me, okay?"

Lin Xiao did not respond and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

The branches and leaves on her body gradually dissipated as Lin Xiao left. Zhang Lexuan turned around, but could no longer see Lin Xiao. Only half of the mask appeared at her feet because of her movement.

"Le Xuan——"

"Senior Sister——"

Several voices were heard from afar, and soon several figures landed beside Zhang Lexuan.

"Big Sister, we just noticed some movement here. Are you in any danger?"

A student said, glancing around again, "Senior Sister, did you fight with anyone? Were they the ones who took Xiao Tao away?"

Zhang Lexuan was about to respond when she heard this, but after opening her mouth, no sound came out.

"Sister?"

"I'm fine. I did fight someone just now. The man's attire was similar to what Elder Xuan described. He was heading towards the Sun-Moon Empire. He was very powerful. I didn't stop him. As for whether he was the one who took Xiao Tao away, I'm not sure."

"Then let's chase after him!"

"Don't!" Zhang Lexuan hurriedly stopped them. "According to Master Xuan's description, their cultivation level is beyond our ability to handle. Let's report what's happening here to the academy."

"Okay." The student nodded and looked at Zhang Lexuan again, "Senior Sister, are you really okay? Are you injured?"

"No, it's just that the consumption is a bit high."

"Then let's go back quickly."

"Mm." Zhang Lexuan nodded, then suddenly bent down, and disappeared into the distance with the Shrek Academy group. The night returned to calm, and after a long while, Lin Xiao's figure reappeared, watching the direction the Shrek Academy group had left in.

"Are you interested in that little girl?"

"Yi Lao, are you awake?"

A voice sounded beside his ear, Lin Xiao suddenly became alert, and then immediately reacted.

"I've actually been awake all the time." There seemed to be a hint of smile in Alex's old voice, and no one knew what made him happy.

"I have the power of the Gold of Life. Except for the first time when I came to this world and was very weak, I have never been completely asleep. Occasionally, I would understand the world you are in through your vision."

"So that's how it is." Lin Xiao nodded slightly.

"By the way, speaking of the Gold of Life, it's time to return this to you."

As Alex finished speaking, a green light suddenly lit up from Lin Xiao's right palm, slowly emerged from his skin, and turned into an exquisite carving knife.

"This is……"

Lin Xiao looked down and saw that what was in his hand was the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, or to be more precise, it should be called the Living Soul Carving Knife.

"This is what I call the Gold of Life. Although I don't know where you got this carving knife, the fact that you were able to obtain it shows that you are blessed with great fortune."

"It is its existence that has stabilized this strand of my consciousness. When you absorbed the spirit ring before, I used some of its power to help you reshape your body. You may not have felt it, but it has actually been in your body the entire time."

"Mr. Yi, since it is useful to you, you might as well keep it for now." To Lin Xiao, Electrolux is much more important than a carving knife.

"No need for that." Electrolux smiled. "My consciousness has stabilized. I don't need to worry about it dissipating at any time. Besides, there may be a better way to stabilize it."

"Actually, even if you don't tell me about something as important as the Soul Gold, I don't want it to fall into other people's hands. But now, I think it's a good idea to give it to you for safekeeping."

Lin Xiao put away the carving knife in his hand, and the green color disappeared completely. However, he still asked in his heart with some confusion, "Master Yi, what is the method you mentioned?"

"No hurry, you haven't answered my question yet?"

The question just now?
Lin Xiao subconsciously looked up and glanced ahead, but there was nothing but darkness.

"I think should not be."

"Haha." Electrolux suddenly laughed. "Really? But judging by your usual style, you wouldn't show mercy like you did to that little girl just now."

Without waiting for Lin Xiao's response, Electrolux continued, "Don't be so quick to deny it. In my opinion, human emotions are the most beautiful thing in a person, even if you can't even perceive them yourself."

"It may bring you pain and hatred..." Alex spoke more slowly, as if recalling something. "But it is precisely because of these things that humans don't become like those emotionless trees, soil, and rocks."

"Before today, I haven't felt as many rich emotions from you as from other people. Perhaps the environment you grew up in made you hide all of these deep in your heart."

"But I can't completely trust someone who's so good at hiding himself." Electrolux came back to his senses, the smile in his tone becoming more obvious. "And now, I can confirm that your kindness is not a disguise."

"I know you've always been pursuing power, and that's not a bad thing. So..." Elex paused, "Are you willing to accept a new power from another world?"
