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

Chapter 202 Discussion
"Teacher Xuan, who is he?"

As soon as Xuan Ziwen walked into the laboratory, he saw Orange looking at Huo Yuhao angrily, holding a few oranges that looked harmless in his hands.

"He is an exchange student from Shrek Academy."

"Look, Teacher Xuan also said that I am not a suspicious person who broke into the laboratory without permission." Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao helplessly explained to Orange again.

Xuan Ziwen only heard a few words, and looking at the scene in front of him, he roughly understood what had just happened.

It was probably because Orange mistakenly mistook Huo Yuhao for someone who had broken into the laboratory.

"Okay, Orange, it's my fault for not making it clear before. His name is Huo Yuhao, and he will be studying soul guides with me for the next two and a half years."

Upon hearing this, Orange put down the orange-shaped soul guide in his hand and gave Huo Yuhao another fierce look.

Xuan Ziwen turned to look at Huo Yuhao, "This is your senior, her name is Orange. As you can see, I don't have any very strict requirements here. I'm not here most of the time. I only come here once every morning."

"If you have any questions while making a soul guide, you can ask Orange first. If you still don't understand, come and ask me."

"Yes." Huo Yuhao turned around and greeted her seriously, "Senior Orange."

"Hmph." Orange turned to look out the window towards the teaching building below, looking as if he didn't care.

Huo Yuhao didn't care much. Even though they almost got into a fight, he didn't sense much ill will towards Orange. He just thought that Orange was a little xenophobic because he heard that he was from Shrek Academy.

However, Xuan Ziwen followed Juzi's gaze and glanced out the window, just in time to see Lin Xiao walking towards Mingde Hall.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. At the Holy Spirit Church headquarters, when Lin Xiao entered the underground meeting room, there were already several figures sitting in their seats.

Seeing Lin Xiao come in, several eyes fell on him.

"Please take a seat first." Zhongli Wu glanced at Lin Xiao from the main seat and pointed to the last seat on the right.

Lin Xiao didn't say much. He pressed the mask on his face, walked to the seat and sat down slowly.

Opposite him sat the Masked Douluo from before, and judging by his aura and cultivation, it seemed that he had not yet recovered. Beside him, the Sixth Elder, Hate Douluo, nodded at him in a friendly manner.

Soon, except for the Great Elder who rarely participated in meetings and the Ten Thousand Soul Douluo who was still in the Star Luo Empire, the other seats were full of people.

Lin Xiao sat quietly in his seat and could feel several pairs of eyes passing over him in the dark. They were probably the seldom-seen priests of the Holy Spirit Church.

Although they don't participate much in the affairs of the Holy Spirit Church, those mysterious priests are obviously the real fighting force of the Holy Spirit Church. Even if their cultivation has not reached the level of Super Douluo, they are not far away.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start this meeting." Zhongli Wu gently tapped the armrest beside him, and the probing or curious gazes on Lin Xiao disappeared instantly.

"The first thing is the change of personnel among the eight elders." Zhongli Wu glanced at Lin Xiao.

"You should have received the news about Sleeping Nightmare. There have been precedents of Holy Envoys who were not yet at the level of Titled Douluo taking over the position of Elder. There should be no objection to this matter."

Everyone had long expected Lin Xiao to succeed the Eighth Elder. No one at the table spoke, which was considered as tacit agreement to Zhongli Wu's arrangement.

"The other matter is related to the palace." After these words were spoken, everyone looked at Zhongli Wu.

Everyone knows that this is probably the real purpose of today's meeting.

"The Crown Prince has sent word that the next Soul Battle Tournament will be held in Mingdu in three years, and he will propose that all sects and academies of the Douluo Continent participate." "Firstly, he hopes that the Holy Sect can represent the sect in the tournament, and at that time the Crown Prince will take the opportunity to declare our Holy Sect as the state religion of the Sun Moon Empire."

"Secondly..."

Zhongli Wu paused, looking around, "The next Fighting Spirit Tournament will be the beginning of the Continental War."

After these words fell, the elders' breathing became a little rapid. For evil soul masters, the battlefield was a place where they could kill openly and without hesitation.

"Alright, the Continental War is less than three years away. You should each take care of your own tasks."

"Laoba."

Zhongli Wu suddenly spoke, and Lin Xiao paused for a moment before turning to look at him. Having just become an elder, he wasn't quite used to the title.

"You participated in the last Soul Fighting Competition. From now on, you will be fully responsible for the Holy Church's participation in the competition. You will go and select disciples in a moment, and no one is allowed to stop you."

"Yes."

Lin Xiao had just agreed when the Third Elder suddenly looked at him and said, "I remember the leader has a disciple named Yan Feng. He should be just the right age."

Zhongli Wu didn't say anything, but instead looked at Lin Xiao.

"I'll see him later." Lin Xiao paused slightly. "Since the Crown Prince intends to make the Holy Church the state religion, it's better not to make the scene too bloody."

"Okay, you can arrange everything." Zhongli Wu nodded, agreeing with Lin Xiao's proposal.

"Master, since the Continental War is less than three years away, shouldn't we pay more attention to the business in Mingdu? The Pingfan League has been very active recently, and a lot of our market share has been taken away."

Seeing that no one else wanted to speak, Nangong Wan spoke up, breaking the silence in the conference room.

"what's your plan?"

"I don't have any ideas at the moment, but the Ordinary Alliance has proposed holding a Soul Master Competition and redistributing the quota based on the results. If we can allow our disciples to participate, I think we can agree to it."

"What are your opinions?" Zhongli Wu did not make a decision, but instead looked around at everyone else.

"I have two excellent disciples who can participate in the Soul Instructor Competition." The Third Elder stroked his chin. "By the way, do you have any requirements for participation?"

"The current requirements are similar to those of the Fighting Spirit Tournament. Participants cannot be over 20 years old. However, if I decide to agree to their request, I can discuss it with the Ordinary Alliance."

Lin Xiao sat aside and watched the discussion between the Second Elder Nangong Wan and the Third Elder. He suddenly felt that if Zhongli Wu had not spoken, the elders' meeting would seem to be no different from a group of people sitting together and chatting. The only difference was that everyone who participated had the power to decide major matters of the Holy Spirit Church.

The other elders also began to discuss the continental war with the people around them, and the Hateful Douluo beside Lin Xiao also turned around.

"I know you're upset that your teacher died, but I'm sorry."

"Ah? Thank you, I'm fine." Lin Xiao paused slightly and looked at Hateful Douluo several times.

Why hadn't he noticed such an elder in the Holy Spirit Church before?
　This is also a draft, only two chapters, I will add them when I come back.
