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

Chapter 244 Skull
The transfer of Xue Di went more smoothly than Lin Xiao had anticipated. Although there was some struggle, it did not exceed his control.

Looking at the Soul-Gathering Tablet on the table, Lin Xiao said softly, "Rest well. Although it will restrict your freedom, you don't need to worry about your soul dissipating here."

After saying that, Lin Xiao did not put it into his storage soul tool, but placed it by the window so that Xue Di inside could sense what was happening outside.

After all, the Snow Empress is a living being, and no living being wants to stay in a dark and sunless place. Lin Xiao might need to absorb the Snow Empress's spirit ring in the future, so he doesn't mind letting the Snow Empress see the scenery outside. Maybe it will make absorbing the spirit ring in the future easier.

Lin Xiao let out a long sigh of relief as she looked away.

Previously, Xue Di's soul was suppressed within the other shore flower, requiring constant suppression. But now, it can be considered that a great burden on his shoulders has been lifted.

Without the interference of the Snow Empress's soul, some things should be put on the agenda, such as...

Lin Xiao's thoughts flashed through his mind. He secretly contacted the other souls he had released outside the room. Sensing that there was no one else around, he stroked his storage soul tool, and a already cold corpse appeared in the room.

As soon as the body appeared, a damp feeling instantly filled the room, and the smell of seawater spread out, unconsciously reminding Lin Xiao of his experience underwater.

He reached out and touched his throat, and it seemed he could feel the external throat bone that the Grand Elder had left him through his skin.

Although its age is not high, only about a thousand years, it did not bring him an increase in soul power level. However, the biggest advantage of external soul bones is that they can continue to grow. As long as Lin Xiao's cultivation continues to improve, it will eventually be comparable to a 100,000-year soul bone.

With a slight bow of his head, the Grand Elder's body showed no obvious changes, still retaining some of the appearance of someone who had just died.

As members of the mermaid race, they are undoubtedly quite beautiful in appearance alone, enough to make ordinary people swoon.

However, Lin Xiao's gaze did not linger on her face for long. Instead, he released his spiritual power to probe her body.

As a 100,000-year-old soul beast that has survived four heavenly tribulations, the Grand Elder must have a soul bone within his body, but it is unknown which one it is.

Lin Xiao's mental energy roamed over the elder's body. Soon, his expression changed slightly, and his gaze fell on the elder's beautiful face. It seemed that something was slowly emanating a strong power from her head.

skull.

The soul bones produced by soul beasts are derived from their soul cores in life, so they are closely related to their attributes and cultivation. As a race of merfolk who are skilled in spirit, it is not surprising that they can condense skulls.

Without further hesitation, Lin Xiao pressed down with his right hand, and a blue and purple soul bone quickly appeared in his palm.

The entire soul bone was crystal clear, with blue liquid seemingly flowing inside, like the constantly flowing seawater beneath the surface. The purple tinge within resembled a hidden danger beneath the sea, giving one a vague sense of unease at first glance.

Looking down at the Elder's broken body, Lin Xiao sighed and put it away again.

After doing all this, he took two steps back and sat down at the table, examining the soul bone in his hand.

There's no reason to hesitate over a skull that's 400,000 years old. Besides, the Grand Elder's soul has completely dissipated, so the process of absorbing the soul bone probably won't be dangerous.

With that thought in mind, he didn't delay any longer. He picked up the soul bone, went into the bedroom, closed the door, and placed it in his palm.

The soul core in his dantian slowly rotated, and streams of soul power spread along his meridians to his palm. The soul bone in his hand instantly transformed into a blue-purple light, which entered Lin Xiao's brow. In an instant, Lin Xiao felt as if he were enveloped by seawater, and an unfamiliar power spread from his brow, covering his entire head along his skull.

The external soul bone in the throat, also from the mermaid race, seemed to sense the Grand Elder's aura, and also emitted a faint blue glow, gradually merging with the aura of the skull.

The soul power contained within the soul bone began to spread throughout Lin Xiao's entire body. Within his body, streams of emerald green light rose from nowhere and flowed to his limbs and bones, silently nourishing his body.

The room had fallen completely silent, except for the Soul-Binding Vessel that Lin Xiao had brought in, which emitted a faint white light that flickered on and off. No one knew what the Snow Empress was looking at or thinking inside…

Inside the Mingdu Holy Spirit Cult's stronghold, Ming Lei Douluo looked at the seven Holy Spirit Cult disciples standing in a row before him, raised his hand to touch his chin, and then looked at the person beside him.

"These are the people Lao Ba chose?"

The disciple beside him nodded. "That's right. After the Eighth Elder decided on the candidates, the Sect Leader personally ordered a group of disciples to be transferred from various branch altars to participate in the next Soul Battle Tournament."

"They don't seem to have anything special about them." Ming Lei Douluo took two steps forward, his gaze sweeping over the group. "Their cultivation and talent don't seem particularly outstanding either."

"Reporting to the Third Elder, the Sect Leader said that since this is the first time the Holy Sect has participated in the Soul Battle Tournament, it is not advisable to make the scene too outrageous, which is why these disciples were selected."

"Alright, alright." Ming Lei Douluo waved his hand. "I knew this earlier than you. In that case, you help them settle into their accommodations."

"Yes, elder."

Among the seven disciples of the Holy Spirit Cult, Tang Ya, who already possessed the cultivation of a Soul King, was standing at the end.

Originally, she was staying at headquarters to cultivate, but Zhongli Wu sent her to Mingdu with just a word. She didn't know what she was going to do before, but when she heard the words "Soul Fighting Competition", a look of pain suddenly appeared on her face.

Before she could continue thinking, another disciple suddenly entered the room.

"Teacher, Alliance Leader Shangguan has arrived. It must be about the Soul Master Competition."

Upon hearing this, Ming Lei Douluo suddenly raised his head. "Shangguan Wei'er is quite well-informed. We just finished rebuilding here, and she came looking for us."

As he spoke, he glanced at his disciples and said, “Find a place to stay in the city first. If you have nothing to do, you can come here to help out at the sect. We’ll arrange other things for you after Lao Ba arrives.”

After saying this, Nether Thunder Douluo did not linger any longer and led the disciple from before out the door.

"By the way, has Merck informed you yet?"

"Teacher, I've already told him to be prepared."

“Hmm.” Ming Lei Douluo nodded. “Tell him not to be careless. The soul masters that the Ordinary Alliance and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce have found are probably not simple either. Don’t think that he can definitely defeat them.”

"Yes, teacher." The disciple said no more, and the two of them walked away into the distance.
