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

Chapter 440 The Resistance Gradually Subsides
With his momentum waning, Xuanzi instantly switched from offense to defense, his soul power surging as he prepared to meet Lin Xiao's counterattack.

However, after Lin Xiao made his move, Xuanzi realized that the opponent's counterattack was much weaker than he had expected.

Looking up, he saw Lin Xiao smiling and nodding slightly at him.

Xuanzi's eyes flashed, a slight surprise rising in his heart. In his mind, given Lin Xiao and the Sun Moon Empire's style, this competition should have been a way for them to fully demonstrate their strength.

However, now it seems that the other party really wants to have a friendly spar, and Lin Xiao's attack clearly shows that he has reduced the force of his attack.

Xuanzi was puzzled, but Lin Xiao knew quite well. With his current cultivation level, defeating Xuanzi was not difficult at all; in fact, with the aid of the soul tool, he could defeat him in just a few moves.

However, he wanted to learn more by fighting against different masters.

His strike appeared to have used a lot of force, but there was a lot of trickery involved.

The sea of ​​spirit trembled slightly, causing the plane of the dead to resonate endlessly. The spiritual power and soul power completely merged and surged towards Xuanzi.

When this power landed on Xuanzi, it changed again and again in a very short moment.

Xuanzi, who had just received Lin Xiao's attack, now had an even deeper understanding of the situation.

In the instant the two clashed, Xuanzi felt Lin Xiao's aura change one after another. Influenced by the other's mental power, even his own thoughts fluctuated greatly in a moment.

Whether desolate, silent, peaceful, or violent, various auras flashed from Lin Xiao, all pointing to the destination that all living beings would rush to: death.

Lin Xiao exudes an aura of extreme death, yet because he has mastered different combat techniques, he gives his opponents different feelings. At this moment, these auras can change at Lin Xiao's whim, with unparalleled freedom.

Although Xuanzi had suffered many defeats, his cultivation and knowledge were undeniable. At this moment, he understood that Lin Xiao's seemingly simple attack was actually an attempt to integrate all the knowledge he had gained from his cultivation journey.

Although it is currently just a simple continuous change and cannot yet be fully integrated, once it is completed, his strength will inevitably reach a new level.

Xuanzi sighed inwardly, knowing that Lin Xiao's use of such an "immature" method at this time was because he genuinely wanted to exchange skills with experts from all walks of life.

Looking back at his initial guesses, it's clear he was being somewhat cynical.

"Be careful." Calming his mind, Xuanzi's soul power surged, and he raised his hand to attack again.

On the ground, the seats prepared by the Sun Moon Empire for the experts of various sects were not occupied at this moment. Everyone was staring intently at the sky, wishing they could be a little closer to the sky.

With so many titled Douluo present, their eyesight was naturally excellent. Although most of them didn't know what had happened just now, they could still sense that the two people in the air hadn't gone all out.

Poison Undying's eyes flickered repeatedly, his gaze seemingly fixed only on the figures of the two fighting back and forth in the air.

As Lin Xiao said, this battle of the top is not really about determining who is better... no, perhaps that's part of it, but it is also a rare opportunity for exchange.

Making friends through martial arts... that Soul Alliance might not be such a terrifying thing after all. If the Sun Moon Empire didn't force the various sects to do things, it might be a good place for the various sects to communicate with each other, just like it is today.

Outside the arena, although Ju Zi couldn't understand the details of the aerial combat, she could see the changes in the expressions of the sect members on the ground. Time ticked by, and the two in the air showed no sign of a victor, but the atmosphere on the ground had already subtly shifted. "The Imperial Advisor really understands these Soul Masters," Ju Zi sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen turned to look at Ju Zi, pondered for a moment, and then cautiously spoke.

"After all, Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent are quite different from Soul Guidance Masters. To my shame, even after I reached the Title Douluo level, I was thinking about how to use this power to create better Soul Guidance Devices, rather than thinking about improving the power of the Martial Soul itself."

"Those Soul Masters originally relied on their Martial Souls to cultivate and fight, so at each level they would try their best to develop their own combat power, and actual combat was also indispensable."

"I overlooked the importance of actual combat for these Soul Masters. Now it seems that Soul Masters are not superior to Soul Masters in every aspect. Only the Grand Preceptor, who is also a Soul Master, could propose such an idea as the Battle of the Peak."

"The Imperial Advisor always holds ideas that are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people." Ju Zi looked up at the sky, a hint of something unfathomable flashing in her eyes.

In mid-air, Lin Xiao dealt with Xuan Zi with considerable ease. Seemingly noticing the gaze fixed on him, he glanced down at the ground and saw Ju Zi and Jing Hongchen not far away.

Looking around the arena, many people seemed to have been inspired to fight by him and Xuanzi, and some were already secretly rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

After all, these Soul Masters hadn't fought anyone for a long time since they reached the Title Douluo realm.

It would be absolutely impossible for a Soul Master to grow to the level of a Title Douluo without experiencing a real battle and relying solely on meditation and cultivation.

Every Soul Master who can break through to the Title Douluo realm yearns for a thrilling and exhilarating battle to some extent.

Especially Poison Undying, the glint in his eyes was no longer concealed at all.

Lin Xiao withdrew her gaze, feeling somewhat at ease.

The members of the sects were not bound by the empire in the past and have always been unruly. Even if they can forcibly form a Soul Alliance by force, this organization will probably not be able to achieve unity when the Abyss Plane arrives in the future.

It would be better to form a loose organization that exchanges information with each other first. As the various sects get to know each other, it will be better to deal with any external enemies than to be a disorganized group.

Moreover, during this period, it might even encourage various sects to learn from each other's strengths and make improvements.

A few days ago, when Ju Zi ascended the throne, he raised the matter of the Soul Alliance with such a strong attitude. At that time, the Sun Moon Empire was demonstrating its national power, so people naturally felt that the Soul Alliance was a means for the Sun Moon Empire to control various sects.

Today, Lin Xiao set an example by showing everyone that the Soul Alliance was not as strict as they had imagined, which naturally reduced their resistance.

The reactions of everyone present at that moment were the best proof.

If you want to open a window, first remove the roof; the wisdom of our ancestors is still useful.

Lin Xiao collected his thoughts, gathered his soul power in his hand, and gently pushed it out. Xuanzi in front of him immediately retreated, his body flashing with light, and he barely managed to stabilize himself.

Xuanzi glanced at Lin Xiao, then clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "I have lost."
