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

Chapter 217 Taking advantage of the opportunity
It was just dawn and the sun had not yet risen completely. Only a few rays of orange-red light fell into Mingdu City, and many people had gathered near the underground arena.

There was such a loud noise last night that even people who were sleeping soundly heard a few loud noises in a daze, and when they just woke up in the morning, they saw this scene on the street.

There were many soldiers standing around to maintain order and prevent ordinary people from approaching, but the people watching here were still reluctant to leave. They looked at this side from afar and kept speculating about what happened last night.

Lin Xiao glanced at the crowd from a distance, then quietly returned to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy without stopping.

After seeing Huo Yuhao and the others, he knew that the people from the Holy Spirit Church had attracted the attention of Shrek Academy, but he did not expect that they would come so soon.

Moreover, by looking at the traces of their battle from a distance, Lin Xiao could roughly judge their level of cultivation, but he didn't know how many of Nangong Wan and the others survived.

Although it was still early, there were already many students in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. Looking at the time, Lin Xiao did not return to the dormitory, but walked directly towards Mingde Hall.

However, the atmosphere in the hall seemed a little different from usual, and many laboratory tables were still empty.

"Lin Xiao, you're here so early?"

A metal door was opened and Lin Jiayi walked out.

"Teacher?" Lin Xiao greeted. "Did I come too early? Why are there so few people here?"

"It has nothing to do with morning or evening." Lin Jiayi shook his head. "Didn't you feel anything about what happened last night?"

"I felt it." Lin Xiao nodded, "I just don't know what exactly happened."

"Someone attacked Mingdu." Lin Jiayi's face darkened. It was rare for Lin Xiao to see Lin Jiayi showing this angry side.

"Yes..." Lin Xiao hesitated.

"Based on the Hall Master's assessment of their cultivation, they should be from the three great empires." Lin Jiayi patted the lab table beside him. "These people really don't take the empire seriously. They come and go as they please."

Lin Jiayi said, and sighed softly, "The hall master has already led people to chase after him. Since he didn't inform you, you don't have to worry about it for now."

"Yeah." Lin Xiao nodded slightly and was about to speak when his feet suddenly shook violently.

The violent shaking seemed to overturn the ground, and the materials and equipment placed on the laboratory table fell to the ground one after another. After that, several loud noises rang in the ears.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom——"

Four balls of exploding light lit up simultaneously in the four directions of Mingde Hall. Before the soul guides who were approaching could react, their bodies were lifted high up and slammed heavily on the ceiling.

Although some soul masters followed Jing Hongchen and left Mingde Hall to chase the people who attacked Mingdu last night, there were still many people who stayed here. In the series of explosions, dozens of figures disappeared directly.

Lin Xiao stepped forward and knocked Lin Jiayi to the ground. He raised his left arm, and a huge device like a metal box appeared beside him. His left arm glowed silver-gray, and bits of metal turned into a huge shield that covered the two of them.

The next moment, Lin Xiao and Lin Jiayi, along with the huge metal device, were pushed back more than ten meters under the huge impact. The smell of blood mixed with screams instantly filled their nasal cavity.

"what happened!"

Lin Jiayi struggled to straighten his upper body, and all he saw was smoke from the explosion and a red blood mist.

Lin Xiao shook his head slightly, his brows also furrowed.

In his memory, Mingde Hall would indeed encounter an attack, but wouldn't this attack be a little too early?
Before he could think clearly, he heard Lin Jiayi exclaim again, "The fixed-type soul guide device... Oh no, the news that the hall master took people away must have been known, and someone must have taken advantage of the opportunity to sneak in!"

Lin Jiayi's words instantly brought Lin Xiao back to his senses. The Body Sect must have been preparing for a long time before attacking Mingde Hall. They weren't stupid; they wouldn't wait until a fixed time to launch a surprise attack on Mingde Hall.

At this time, because of the commotion caused by Shrek Academy in Mingdu, Jing Hongchen led many masters to chase after them. In the eyes of the Body Sect, there was no better opportunity than this.

"Teacher, let's get out of here first. The attackers won't give up."

The explosions gradually stopped. Lin Xiao helped Lin Jiayi stand up, but he was suddenly grabbed by the arm again.

"teacher?"

Lin Xiao turned his head and saw Lin Jiayi staring at him intently.

"Lin Xiao, can I trust you?"

Lin Xiao nodded, "Of course."

"Then come with me." Lin Jiayi suddenly pulled Lin Xiao and rushed deeper into Mingde Hall. "Even if I die, Mingde Hall cannot be lost."

"I know that your current strength is probably greater than mine. I hope you can stay and help me this time."

Lin Xiao glanced at Lin Jiayi's slightly short and fat back and nodded, "Okay."

Just as Lin Xiao took two steps, a black shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes, with a fierce murderous intent that was not concealed at all.

Looking around, there were actually quite a few figures like this around. It was obvious that they were people from the Body Sect who took advantage of the explosion of the fixed-type soul guide just now to break through the defense of Mingde Hall and rushed in.

"Teacher, be careful!"

Lin Xiao pulled Lin Jiayi's arm and protected him behind him. Eight soul rings of black, black, black, black, black, black, red, and red rose up around him. Above the eighth soul ring, four golden patterns were clearly visible.

Not only the man in black in front of him, but even Lin Jiayi was stunned on the spot.

He had long known that Lin Xiao's spirit ring configuration was different from that of ordinary spirit masters, but Lin Xiao seldom took action in the academy. It was the first time he knew that Lin Xiao actually had two hundred thousand year spirit rings.

Just when the man in black was stunned, Lin Xiao raised his left hand, and a silver-gray short blade with a little star-like light flashed in front of him, and a big head instantly soared into the sky.

The other men in black around seemed to have noticed the movement on Lin Xiao's side, and more than ten figures surrounded him at the same time.

However, before they got close, they saw dozens of gun barrels slowly floating in the air from nowhere.

The surrounding smoke and dust made it difficult for everyone to see the specific appearance of the gun barrels, but the cold murderous intent could penetrate the smoke and dust and make everyone feel cold.

The huge metal device beside Lin Xiao emitted a faint light. The next moment, there was a loud "boom" and the entire Mingde Hall was once again filled with a layer of blood mist.

“There are experts here!”

I don’t know who shouted, but as soon as the words fell, Lin Xiao felt countless eyes falling on him, and a murderous aura rushed to the back of his head.

　For a while, later
