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

Chapter 153: One Day as a Teacher

Lin Xiao's heart suddenly moved.

It would be a lie to say that I was indifferent to the power wielded by Electrolux.

However, before meeting Alex, he was not a blank slate like Huo Yuhao, who had never left the Duke's Mansion.

Even before coming to this world, he had already lived for more than twenty years, and then grew up again in an environment like the Holy Spirit Church.

Just as Electrolux said, after having experienced such an environment and having so many secrets hidden in his heart, he seemed to have never shown his true self to others.

He has long been accustomed to showing different sides in front of different people. Sometimes, even he himself cannot be sure which face is his truest one.

Perhaps because of this, Electrolux always kept things to himself when interacting with him. Although more than a year had passed since he first met Electrolux, they hadn't communicated very often.

Until now.

"I am willing to learn new powers."

"Have you thought about it?"

"Yeah." Lin Xiao responded affirmatively in his heart.

"Then listen carefully. I am the Holy God of the Dead, the Scourge of the Undead, Ilex. I have passed down two of my powers to my two disciples. If you wish, I can pass on my final power, the magic of the dead, to you."

"Although this world is different from the world I live in, the way of using power is the same. Undead magic is different from the martial spirits in your world. It is more of a different way of using power."

"In the Holy Spirit Church you belong to, all things involving the soul haven't even touched the surface of necromancy."

"Now, do you still stick to your decision?"

"Yes." Lin Xiao paused, "I am willing to learn necromancy...Teacher."

"Hahaha." Ilex laughed. "Alright, since you call me Master, I'll accept you as my disciple. I never thought that with only a wisp of soul left, I still have the chance to leave behind this final legacy."

Ilex calmed down his emotions and said, "Before you officially start learning necromancy, I have something to remind you of."

"Any power can be good if used for good, or evil if used for evil. Power itself is neither good nor evil. How you use it is up to you."

"You grew up in that environment but still retained a bit of kindness. I believe you will not go astray in the future."

"However, I still hope you can do one thing."

"Teacher, please speak."

"I hope that after you fully accept my necromancy and possess a certain level of strength, you will be able to eliminate those who blaspheme souls and restore the reputation of necromancy."

"Yes, I will." Lin Xiao nodded.

"Alright, then let's start with your martial spirit." "Martial spirit?"

"Yes." Elex paused for a moment, "Where do you think the power of the martial spirit comes from?"

Lin Xiao really hadn't thought about it. Perhaps it was influenced by his memories of his previous life. After coming to this world, he seemed to quickly accept the existence of martial souls and had never thought about where they came from.

Alex didn't seem to wait for Lin Xiao's answer. He paused for a moment before continuing, "I have observed this world for a long time through your eyes. I believe that the martial spirit is actually your own strength."

"You may have noticed that people with fire-attribute martial spirits tend to be more irritable than those with ice-attribute martial spirits. Have you ever considered that it's not their martial spirits that influence them, but rather their innate personalities?"

"Aside from the relationship between parents, the biggest factor that determines a person's martial spirit is their own personality or experience."

Lin Xiao paused for a moment after hearing what Alex said, but couldn't help but agree with his point. Such examples were not uncommon. Even in his own Holy Spirit Church, the soul masters who had awakened the so-called evil martial spirits often had tragic childhoods.

There are even some people who were not originally evil soul masters but became evil soul masters due to their own experiences.

"It seems you've thought of some people, but that's not what I want to teach you today. Instead, I want to teach you how to comprehend true death from your martial spirit."

"When it comes to the undead and souls, 'death' is always unavoidable. This is also the basis for the emergence of necromancy."

"I don't know how your martial spirit was formed. Perhaps you witnessed an unforgettable death when you were young, which gave your martial spirit the rare attribute of death."

"And with this attribute, learning necromancy will be twice as effective with half the effort. Similarly, if my guess is correct, the death attribute in your martial soul will also become purer by learning necromancy."

Alex didn't know where Lin Xiao's death attribute came from, but after hearing his words, Lin Xiao himself understood something.

He not only witnessed, but also personally experienced a real death before coming to this world with martial spirits.

"You were born with a martial soul that involves death, and you like to delve into it and have done some research on the soul. Therefore, the necromancy I will teach you will not just be some simple spells, but will start from the very basics."

"Start with the most basic understanding of the boundary between life and death and the nature of the soul. In this way, you may be able to create your own unique necromancy in the future."

"I understand, Master." Lin Xiao nodded secretly. Although this meant that he couldn't use necromancy in actual combat in the short term, he would definitely gain more in the future.

"Not bad, not impatient." Alex sighed softly, "Although your childhood experiences brought you a lot of pain, they also made you more calm."

"In that case, I'll start with the simplest soul. I should have mentioned before that the more important word in the word 'soul' is the 'spirit,' and all necromancy begins with that spirituality..."

The bright moon hung high in the night sky, and silvery-white light fell obliquely. Lin Xiao's figure kept flashing in the shadows, flying towards the direction of the Sun and Moon Empire.

And in his spiritual sea, an old man who almost became the god of death is revealing a corner of the soul and death to him, allowing him to glimpse the mystery therein.

Lin Xiao was already clear in his mind that although he was only at the Soul Saint level now, a higher realm was not out of reach. One day, he would gain the power he desired, which would allow him to be free from being manipulated by anyone.

At the same time, in Shrek Academy far away on the other side, several powerful auras gathered on Poseidon Island, gathering in the not-so-wide Poseidon Pavilion.
