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

Chapter 183 Like a Teacher and Like a Father
"Cough——" Hate Douluo coughed, enduring the severe pain all over his body, and looked towards the surrounding sea. He saw Ten Thousand Souls Douluo floating on the sea and had fainted.

The soul power in his body circulated, and with a step of his feet, Hate Douluo stepped into the air again.

After checking Wanhun Douluo's breath again, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After transferring a little bit of the soul power in his body, Wanhun Douluo soon struggled to wake up.

"Ahem—where are we?"

"Just fell into the sea."

"I know it's in the sea." Wanhun Douluo panted and said unhappily, "I mean, where is the Great Elder?"

Hate Douluo did not speak, but glanced into the distance. Although it was far away, the dazzling electric light was still clear.

"Damn it, I almost died here." Wanhun Douluo looked at the direction of the Great Elder with a gloomy look, but when he looked at the lightning in the sky again, he had no intention of getting close to it.

"Although it's far from what we expected, at least we gained something. Let's get out of here quickly."

As Wanhun Douluo was about to leave, he saw Hate Douluo still standing there, looking at the sea from afar.

"Come on, what are you waiting for?"

"We are still missing the disciple of Lao Ba."

"Hmph, he probably won't be able to come back. Considering the way the Great Elder treated us, do you think what he asked him to do would be easy? I'm afraid he would have already been buried in the icy sea."

Hate Douluo frowned upon hearing this, "How can you treat a disciple of the sect like this..."

"Alright, do you really think that's Lao Ba's disciple?" Wanhun Douluo sneered, "From the leader to the elders, everyone except you knows what Lao Ba is planning."

"You really think he's a disciple of the Holy Church." Wanhun Douluo said as he glanced at the sea, then quickly looked away. "He's just a container for Lao Ba. Let him find it again. Let's leave here first."

"Okay." Hate Douluo then withdrew his gaze and did not linger any longer.

In another direction, the Sea Princess also stopped and looked back at the scattered figures around her. A few golden pearls fell with the wind and sank into the sea water.

Nearly a thousand members of the tribe were buried in that formation, becoming nourishment for the Great Elder to overcome the tribulation. Even their souls were taken away by the flag that came from nowhere. How could she not be heartbroken?

But now, she had another thing that didn't allow her to continue to be sad.

"Regent."

"Mother."

"Let's go back quickly. I don't know how she did it, but the Heart of the Ocean was stolen. Something must have happened in the palace." The Sea Princess sighed softly, "I hope Liya didn't encounter any accidents."

And right where the mermaids lived, Leah, who was missed by the Sea Princess, rushed out of the palace and looked around at the "guests" who had just been visiting the palace.

It was just that the wave just now caused a turbulence on the seabed, and the surging sea water had already washed Lin Xiao to an unknown place.

His body was under tremendous pressure. Although he had adapted to it for a while, at this moment, Lin Xiao no longer had the energy to circulate his soul power to withstand the heavy pressure of the sea water. He could only rely on his physical strength to withstand it.

The muscles in his body were aching, and his bones were creaking, but Lin Xiao had no time to care. The pain of the ruptured sea of ​​​​spiritual had already completely covered up the pain in his body, and he could hardly feel it.

Within the fragmented sea of ​​consciousness, gray mist and emerald light intertwined. Lin Xiao's consciousness had lost its original form, vaguely resembling a human shape, watching Electrolux continue his actions. "Teacher..."

"Child, don't say anything. I know your pain." Electrolux's voice was much gentler than usual, as if he was comforting Lin Xiao.

"No, I..."

"Don't feel guilty, child. Life may seem short, but it's also very long. There are always many things that are beyond your control, and this is especially true for you in an environment like that."

"Since I've accepted you as my apprentice, as your teacher, I must devote myself to you." There seemed to be a magic in Electrolux's voice. "Go to sleep, child. You're very tired. Get some rest."

Lin Xiao's consciousness became uncontrollably blurred and he fell into a deep sleep.

He seemed to have had a very long dream, dreaming of the world in his past life memories. In that world, there was no killing, and no one forced him to do anything. He seemed to hear his mother humming a nursery rhyme in his ears, and saw his father's tall figure in front of him.

When he found Electrolux, the first thing he thought about was how to make use of the knowledge Electrolux possessed. He became his disciple only to gain more powerful strength from him.

But now, he understands more clearly that the title "teacher" is far more than just a title.

Looking at Electrolux's figure in the blur, Lin Xiao seemed to have never felt so at ease as he did now.

A few crisp bird calls woke Lin Xiao from his slumber. He opened his eyes in a daze, and the sound of wind coming from nowhere blew gently on his face.

Standing up, there was an endless sea of ​​flowers under his feet. The dark red narrow petals looked particularly familiar to Lin Xiao.

Subconsciously walking forward and sniffing the elegant fragrance at the tip of his nose, Lin Xiao only felt a faint vitality spreading around him.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the river attracted Lin Xiao's attention. He hurriedly took two steps forward. However, the next moment, the scene on the other side of the river made him stunned.

There stood a self identical to himself, with the same sea of ​​flowers beneath his feet, but there was no sign of life, only pure silence, separated by the river in front of him.

Lin Xiao was a little dazed and shook his head slightly. When he looked again, there seemed to be no other figure like himself in front of him. However, what he stepped on was no longer the fragrance of flowers, but the heavy smell of death.

Countless memories rose up in his heart, and Lin Xiao turned around suddenly. Behind him, a gray figure was standing there.

"teacher."

"You're awake." Alex nodded. "Before, we could only see each other across the river. Now, you can finally step onto my side, onto the side that truly belongs to death."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao looked towards the other side of the river again, and only then did he realize that the other side was where he often appeared, while where he was standing, there was only a gray mist before.

"Teacher, why is this?"

"Because my power has been completely integrated with yours." Alex slowly took two steps forward.

"As for the sea of ​​flowers across from you, what do you feel in it?"

"Hmm..." Lin Xiao paused, "Life force?"

"That's right." Electrolux smiled. "All power has two sides. When you reach the extreme of death, the power of life will be born."
