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

Chapter 473 Challenge
Time is the most fleeting thing; a day, a month, a year... even several years seem to pass in the blink of an eye.

More than ten years have passed since the end of the continental war. During this period, although some of the old nobles attempted to recreate the Star Luo Heaven Soul Battle Spirit, unfortunately, in a world with Soul Masters, those who tried to restore their country were uprooted by the Sun Moon Empire as soon as they made a move.

As for the larger number of ordinary people, with the continuous development of soul tools, the voices of opposition have become smaller and smaller.

Whether a Soul Master or a Soul Guide is stronger or weaker, and whether a Soul Master's use of a Soul Tool other than their own power should be opposed... these are all things that Soul Masters with Soul Power need to consider.

For most ordinary people without soul power, they don't care about the relationship between soul masters and soul guides; they just see that their lives are becoming more and more convenient with the help of soul tools.

Furthermore, the Sun Moon Empire intentionally fostered the integration of the people from the original major empires. Over the course of more than a decade, the major empires on the entire Douluo Continent, which already shared a common language, became virtually indistinguishable from one another.

Humans, who share the same roots, have gathered together again, leading many to speculate whether there will be no more wars from now on.

However, the Mingde Hall, which was responsible for researching soul tools, was always brightly lit, and all kinds of powerful soul tools emerged one after another. Some people suggested that Jing Hongchen change the research direction of soul tools, but Jing Hongchen never gave up on the research of offensive soul tools and war-type soul tools.

After all, in the far north, a place few people know about, the number of abyssal monsters from another world is increasing.

"Your Majesty, compared to when the continental war had just ended, the total number of primary, intermediate, and advanced Soul Master academies across the entire continent has quadrupled."

"Currently, the Empire is responsible for the awakening of martial spirits for all eligible children on the mainland."

"Once a child with soul power is discovered, they will be sent to the local primary soul master academy for free, and then divided into soul master-oriented and soul master-oriented groups according to their talents."

"Over the past few years, many outstanding soul masters have graduated from various academies."

Orange sat behind her desk, listening to the court officials report on the current situation of the Sun Moon Empire.

With the impending arrival of the Abyss Plane imminent, Ju Zi knew that a war even more severe than the war on the continent was unavoidable. Over the years, after discussing with Lin Xiao, various policies had been implemented, accumulating a large number of Soul Masters.

As long as this system remains unchanged, the quantity and quality of Soul Masters across the continent will improve once again.

With a slight frown, a few wrinkles quietly appeared at the corners of Orange's eyes.

Her talent wasn't actually that outstanding. The reason she was able to break through to the Soul Saint realm was because she used drugs to forcibly increase her strength in order to stay by Xu Tianran's side.

That kind of improvement not only did not bring her more benefits, but also made her body even more depleted. Even though she possessed the wealth of the entire Sun Moon Empire, her cultivation had not progressed at all in the past ten years.

Even with her tireless work day and night, and despite having access to the best food and medicine in the entire empire, she couldn't stop the changes that come with age.

"I am aware of this report. Send a copy to Mingde Hall."

"Yes."

"And what about the Imperial Advisor?"

The minister standing nearby was not surprised by Ju Zi's question; in fact, he was quite used to it, as Ju Zi had asked him this almost every day over the years.

Although she is the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, Lin Xiao and Mingde Hall were clearly involved in some important decisions, and they were practically ruling the world together with her.

"The Imperial Advisor should still be at the peak of the battle."

Ju Zi nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions. The Battle of the Peaks... Ever since Ju Zi ascended the throne, the Battle of the Peaks has been fixed almost like the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament, also held once every five years.

The specific time for the final battle was set within a month after the Elite Tournament.

The winners of the Elite Tournament not only receive generous rewards and the opportunity to study at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, but they can also observe the battle between Title Douluos in the Peak Battle under the protection of other experts.

This is an extremely rare experience for any Soul Master or Soul Master.

Outside Mingdu City, the plains are no longer the simple venue they once were. For the Elite Tournament and the Battle of the Peak, a special arena has been built here. Even when there are no matches, many Soul Masters use this venue to spar with each other.

There wasn't a single ordinary citizen in the audience; most of them were Soul Masters with cultivation levels of eight rings or higher. The few with the lowest cultivation levels were the winners of this year's Elite Tournament.

Many people looked up at the battle in the sky. If it weren't for this battle at the top, probably no one would have thought that there were already so many advanced Soul Masters and Soul Instructors on the Douluo Continent.

On the other side of the high platform, Lin Xiao's figure was covered by a long robe decorated with sun and moon inscriptions, which seemed to completely conceal his aura. He sat there, as if no one was there.

Douluo the Cataclysm.

Someone glanced over from the platform, then quickly looked away, and then the somewhat heavy title unconsciously came to mind.

More than ten years ago, the Calamity Douluo was already invincible. After breaking through to the Limit Douluo realm, although he never made a move in front of everyone again, everyone knew that, just like his name, he was already like a true calamity, insurmountable by ordinary people.

Unbeknownst to many, upon hearing this name, everyone across the continent felt nothing but awe and reverence.

The sparring between the titled Douluo in the air never stopped. Lin Xiao sat in a high position, his eyes slightly narrowed.

It wasn't that he looked down on the battles between other Title Douluos, but rather that with his current cultivation level, there were some things he no longer needed to see with his eyes.

He slightly raised his hand, and it seemed that a mysterious power was gathering in his palm—that was the formless and intangible power of faith. After breaking through to the limit realm and gaining a deeper understanding of the power of heaven and earth, he was finally able to perceive this ethereal thing.

only……

"Too little."

Electrolux's voice resonated in Lin Xiao's heart, and Lin Xiao nodded almost imperceptibly in return.

"Yes, that's too little."

Even though his name has spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent, and people have been calling his name almost every moment for the past ten years, the accumulated faith power is still too little.

If he wanted to use this power to condense his own divine position, it would probably take thousands of years, and how long is the lifespan of a Soul Master?

Even if someone were to acquire a long enough lifespan through other means, there would probably be people who wouldn't want to live that long...

"I want to challenge the Calamity Douluo!"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Lin Xiao's thoughts.
