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

Chapter 204 Prosthesis
"Don't worry about them." Zhongli Wu shook his head when he saw Lin Xiao's gaze, then turned and glanced at the Masked Douluo behind him, "Humph, they brought this upon themselves."

"I told you to be more restrained before, but after losing your cultivation, you didn't think about how to improve it, and instead provoked the Saint. I can't intervene in this matter, so you can handle it yourself."

"Master." Masked Douluo's expression was somewhat sinister. "Saintess is just a title. She has no right to interfere in the affairs of the sect. Why bother—"

Before Masked Douluo could finish his words, he saw Zhongli Wu suddenly looking at him, and the second half of his sentence was instantly choked in his mouth.

"This matter concerns the Holy Emperor and is a major event within the sect. Do not mention it again."

"Yes, Master." Masked Douluo lowered his head upon hearing this.

"Why don't you leave? Why don't you stay here and embarrass yourself?"

Masked Douluo gritted his teeth and turned away.

Lin Xiao remained silent until the hall became quiet again before he tentatively spoke.

"Master, between the Seventh Elder and the Saint..."

"Humph, you should also know the disciple next to the Saint, and you also understand the character of Old Seven."

“Before…” Zhongli Wu hesitated for a moment when he spoke of this. “Perhaps because they were both from Shrek Academy, the Saint took good care of that disciple, and Old Seven suffered at the hands of the Saint, which is why what happened just now happened.”

Lin Xiao nodded slightly. Although Zhongli Wu didn't say what exactly happened, Lin Xiao had already guessed what it was.

When he met the Masked Douluo in the North, even though he was beaten into a demon maggot, he still wanted to know about Orange's background after seeing her. How could such a person not have other thoughts about Tang Ya?

Just looking at the current situation, Ma Xiaotao might still have some consciousness left, and brought Tang Ya, who is also a Shrek student, to her side, which is why something happened between her and the Masked Douluo.

But compared to these, he cared more about what Masked Douluo had just said.

In fact, in Lin Xiao’s previous life memory, he also had the same doubt, that is, what is the use of the identity of the saint taught to Ma Xiaotao by the Holy Spirit?

At that time, Ma Xiaotao was not in her right mind, and it didn't seem like she was being trained as the next leader.

Moreover, although the other elders would verbally address her as the Saint, their respect for her was completely invisible.

Now the Masked Douluo said that the Saint had no real power, and Zhongli Wu inadvertently said that the Saint was related to the Saint Emperor. There must be some inside story that even he, who has the memories of his past life, does not understand.

The people behind the Holy Spirit Cult are probably more than just the Evil Emperor and Ye Xishui whom he knows.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered the curse uttered by the Great Elder before his death.

Although those words did not have the power of a real curse, did the Great Elder know something that made him determine Lin Xiao's fate like that?
Lin Xiao had no idea of ​​all this. He just looked down at the list in his hand, his fingertips lightly running across the name "Tang Ya" on it.

"Master, there are quite a few ordinary people watching the Soul Fighting Competition. Our methods should not be too bloody. Why don't we wait until I have seen disciples of suitable age and cultivation level before deciding on the candidates?"

"Okay." Zhongli Wu nodded without giving it much thought. "The Soul Fighting Tournament is still three years away. You already have a list of the sect's disciples. Just tell me before then."

Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. It was clear that within the Holy Spirit Sect, the elders were indeed different from other ordinary disciples. He had never thought Zhongli Wuyou was so easy to talk to before.

The elders' meeting ended quickly, much faster than Lin Xiao had expected. After meeting with several disciples on the list, he had nothing else to do and returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy early. Inside the dormitory building, the light from a soul guidance device illuminated a room. Lin Xiao sat at the table, quietly pondering the list of most of the core disciples of the Holy Spirit Cult in his hand.

In another dormitory, Huo Yuhao also picked up the paper on the table and looked at the soul guide diagram on it in a daze.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

"Junior brother, it's me."

There was a knock on the door. Huo Yuhao was just about to put away the drawings, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a familiar voice outside the door.

"With my brother."

"Junior brother, when I came over just now, I saw that the light in your room was still on. It's so late yet and you haven't rested yet?" He Caitou glanced at Huo Yuhao's somewhat tired face.

"It's okay, senior brother." Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"In terms of soul guides, the Sun-Moon Empire is far behind us. These days, I've only looked at the most basic soul guides, and they contain all sorts of devices we've never thought of before."

"If I can memorize more diagrams, I can help the academy catch up with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy as soon as possible."

"Junior brother, the development of soul guides cannot be achieved by one person alone." As a person from the Sun-Moon Empire, He Caitou knew better than Huo Yuhao how much ahead the Sun-Moon Empire was compared to the three major empires.

"I know the gap between us is still huge, but as long as I can memorize more drawings, the gap will be narrowed." Huo Yuhao said as he picked up the drawing he was just looking at.

"Look, Brother He, this is a soul guide that assists other soul masters in their activities."

He Caitou sighed lightly upon seeing this and stopped trying to persuade him. He followed Huo Yuhao's gaze and looked at the blueprint. Soon, he frowned.

"This soul guide seems to be used not only to assist other soul masters in their activities..." He Caitou hesitated, "It should also help soul masters make up for their physical defects."

Huo Yuhao nodded after hearing this.

Although his talent as a soul master far surpassed He Caitou's, He Caitou was not much inferior to him in talent in soul guides, and he could see the other functions of this soul guide at a glance.

"Look, Brother He, when we encountered the Hand of Death, several senior students from the inner courtyard were injured by the corpse explosion technique. This soul guide should be able to help them."

He Caitou nodded gently as he looked at the blueprints. "Indeed, these soul guides are much more sophisticated than those in the academy. Although they can't help the seniors reach their peak condition, at least they have the strength to fight."

"Also..." He Caitou paused here, "Junior brother, where did you see this soul guide? Even for normal soul masters, it can also assist soul masters or soul guides in combat."

"When I passed by the Soul Guidance Laboratory, I glimpsed from outside the door that the disciples inside were making this soul guide device."

Huo Yuhao did not hide it from He Caitou, "I think his soul guide is still a little bit short of being completed. I only wrote down part of it at the time. If I have the chance tomorrow, I will try to write down the complete diagram."

"Hey, don't push yourself too hard." He Caitou patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder gently upon hearing this.
