The Evil Soul Master is actually myself

Su Xuan'er looked at her younger brother with affection and said, "The left arm bone of the Blazing Sun Blood Demon Tiger was absorbed to match the right arm bone I obtained at Shrek Academy. You can absorb the remaining skull and torso bones."

Su Ming felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this, but that wasn't what he meant.

"Sister, what I mean is, before you attach your spirit ring, absorb all the spirit bones left by Father. This will greatly improve your physical fitness. If you choose a better spirit beast for your seventh spirit ring, it might even allow your martial spirit to evolve to a higher level."

Su Ming put forward his own idea.

"Anyway, the soul bones passed down in the family are all paired with the Blood Tiger Martial Soul, and they are very compatible with the soul skills they are paired with. They are also specifically designed to amplify the power of the Martial Soul."

He had previously witnessed his sister using her left and right arm soul bones simultaneously, and the moment they resonated, her martial soul level infinitely approached the ultimate martial soul level. It should be noted that the Blood Tiger martial soul was only at the lower end among top-tier martial souls.

Touched by what she heard, Su Xuan'er hugged the little guy tightly and pinched his cheeks hard, saying, "My little brother is so cute, he loves his sister so much."

The Su family has a history of thousands of years. Over the years, the clansmen have obtained countless soul bones by hunting soul beasts. However, after trading and screening, only three soul bones that best match the martial soul were left. How could Su Xuan'er not be tempted?

To put it bluntly, after absorbing the remaining two soul bones of her father, her combat power could increase by another 50% to 60%.

“Come with me to the ancestral hall,” Su Xuan’er said with a serious expression.

Holding her younger brother's hand, she led him through the pavilions to the deepest part of the Su family mansion.

In a shrine nestled against a small hill and green forest, an old servant leisurely sweeps away fallen leaves and spider webs.

Su Xuan'er opened the ancestral hall door and nodded respectfully to the old servant.

Su Ming looked curiously at the old servant who had a kind smile on his face, and sensed that he was actually a Soul Emperor level expert.

It seems that although the Su family is small and passed down through a single lineage, they still have some foundation. He also remembered that the middle-aged female housekeeper who had been managing the Su family was also a Soul Emperor.

Inside the ancestral hall stood countless memorial tablets. Su Xuan'er pointed to the one in the very center and said:

"This is the First Ancestor. Our Su family rose to prominence from his generation. Three thousand years ago, we were still commoners. Fortunately, the First Ancestor's martial soul mutated, which is why we have the inheritance of the Blood Tiger of Slaughter. We must not forget our roots."

Su Ming thought to himself, 'This is to thank our ancestor, the Emperor of Europe.'

"Next to the First Ancestor is the Second Ancestor. He was the most visionary person in our Su family. He established a family precept that descendants must research the best soul ring combinations and collect the matching soul bones that best suit their martial soul and soul skills."

Su Xuan'er pointed to the 'Taizong' tablet next to the First Ancestor's tablet, her words full of respect.

"The Second Ancestor once humbly said that he was fortunate enough to continue the Blood Tiger Martial Soul, but he failed to reach the peak due to the combination of Soul Skills. Therefore, he repented and decided to start experimenting with his son and use future generations of clansmen to find the most suitable Soul Skill combination for the Martial Soul, paving the way for future generations!"

"It was because of him that our Blood Tiger Slaughtering Martial Soul did not just disappear for a short time, but instead has continued for thousands of years. Later generations of the clan also inherited the kindness of their ancestors. It was their sacrifices that allowed the Blood Tiger Slaughtering Martial Soul to have the best combination of soul skills, so that the power of this martial soul could be maximized."

"Back then, our ancestors had several useless soul skills. They were often at a disadvantage when facing soul masters of the same level. A top-level martial soul was criticized as being inferior to a high-level martial soul. However, due to the family precepts of our second ancestor, we endured humiliation and hardship, and finally matched the most suitable soul skills. When facing the lineage of Duke White Tiger, our Su family is confident that we are no weaker than others!"

Su Xuan'er was very proud; how could such a family not inspire respect?

"It was the Second Ancestor who gave rise to the arrogant idea of ​​our Su family to accumulate resources over time and use those resources to create a god. He borrowed the practice of the Spirit Hall in ancient times of collecting Angel Set Soul Bones, intending to collect a set of top-level soul bones to match the spirit, and then obtain the blessing of the Asura God to establish a family similar to a guardian family to pass on the legacy."

Su Xuan'er spoke passionately, recounting the family's highest secret.

Even Su Ming was shocked by this idea. It was actually quite possible to achieve. The Killing Blood Tiger Martial Soul had a strong killing intent and murderous aura. The [Slaughter City], the traditional inheritance site of the Asura God, had been destroyed by Tang San.

He remembered that in the original story, Tang San always wanted to pass on the position of the Asura God and found Zhou Weiqing from "Heavenly Jewel Change," but Zhou Weiqing refused. Tang San eventually had no choice but to give up. There were too few people qualified to inherit the position of the god. He might eventually have to establish a place of inheritance similar to the City of Slaughter to select a successor.

But then Su Ming thought again, it was hard to say. Whether Tang San was willing to give up the position of the Asura God was another matter. Maybe it was just a momentary impulse.

"In order to encourage future generations of clansmen to continue to study martial spirits and make progress, he established a rule to place the clansmen who made the greatest contributions at the top of the ancestral hall, such as finding a soul skill that is suitable for a martial spirit, or obtaining a top-level soul bone that matches the martial spirit through various means."

"I don't know about others, but after I die, I will definitely be placed on the top floor of the ancestral hall. I obtained the left arm bone of the Vampire Tiger. This soul bone is perfect for the soul skills and martial soul characteristics of the Blood Tiger, and it can also resonate with the other three inherited soul bones."

Su Xuan'er pointed to the top floor of the ancestral hall and said smugly.

Su Ming returned to his divine state and pursed his lips upon hearing this. Although the possibility of obtaining the blessing of the Asura God was extremely small, he had to admit the greatness of the Su family's heritage. In the end, it would definitely become a family like the White Tiger Family.

Over the millennia of Douluo Continent, many commoners have experienced mutations in their martial souls, but only a handful have managed to form families that have endured for generations. The foresight and wisdom of the Su family's ancestors are something that many families and sects lack.

"Hehe, of course you're not afraid, little brother. With the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Martial Soul, you'll become a Super Douluo and establish your own lineage. You'll definitely get a spot on the top floor of the ancestral hall." Su Xuan'er pinched her brother's cheek and said with a grin.

"Sister Ni is getting cocky," Su Ming said disapprovingly.

"You brat, you don't understand how powerful I am after absorbing the soul bones. This set of soul bones is only missing the left and right leg bones. It's not far from our ancestor's final vision. Just watch the power of the six-piece Blood Tiger Slaughter Set once it's complete!"

Su Xuan'er casually used her younger brother's catchphrase.

Su Ming remained expressionless, thinking that even if they were of the same level, they would still be easily defeated by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. So he flattered her insincerely, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, may my sister live a thousand years and become a Title Douluo."

Chapter Seventeen: Heading to Shrek Academy

Su Xuan'er groped along the walls of the ancestral hall and finally touched a mechanism. After a series of futuristic gears turned, the ancestral tablet in front of her suddenly popped down, revealing a black box.

She went up and picked up the black box, saying regretfully:

"This mechanism was crafted by a master craftsman from the Tang Clan thousands of years ago. The opening and closing points and the pop-out of the black box are different each time. Moreover, its mechanism is so sturdy that it can withstand attacks at the level of a Soul Douluo, all in order to preserve the family's inherited soul bones. Unfortunately, the once mighty Tang Clan has now declined."

Su Ming nodded in understanding.

Due to the ability of soul bones to be preserved, after tens of thousands of years of accumulation in Douluo Continent, while not everyone possesses a soul bone, those at the Soul Saint level generally have one.

However, top-grade soul bones that are ten thousand years old and produced by top-tier soul beasts, and that record powerful soul skills, are still very precious. They are enough to arouse the greed of titled Douluo. Preserving them with mechanisms is the safest course of action.

"What our ancestors hoped for most was to have their soul bones cast into sculptures and placed in front of the ancestral hall so that no one would dare to snatch them. This would require at least the confidence of having produced titled Douluo in every generation."

Su Xuan'er spoke softly, and opened the black box with her jade-like hand, revealing three soul bones of different colors inside.

The young boy tiptoed to look inside, and exclaimed softly, "Why are there three soul bones inside?"

"Two pieces belong to the Su family, and one belongs to my mother. She has a Shadow Martial Soul and was fortunate enough to obtain a left leg bone while hunting for a sixth spirit ring. However, it is not suitable for our Su family's Martial Soul, so it is intended to be passed down for trade."

Su Xuan'er explained.

She looked at her younger brother and asked, "Do you want it? This left leg bone is quite good. It contains the Shadow Escape Soul Skill, which allows you to disappear into your own shadow or separate your shadow to confuse enemies, for use in escaping or launching an attack."

"Its quality is also high. It is produced by a Shadow Servant with ten thousand years of cultivation. It is a precious elemental soul beast with pure dark attributes, which is very compatible with your martial soul."

Upon hearing this, Su Ming hesitated for a moment, suddenly feeling somewhat tempted, but he still shook his head and refused.

As a mature reincarnator, he had long planned his Soul Master career. Unless it was an external Soul Bone, he planned to absorb other Soul Bone only when he reached the Soul Douluo level. He would specifically hunt 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts so that he could obtain both Soul Rings and Soul Bones.

After all, he only has a single martial soul, and his soul skill slots are limited. He must carefully calculate the soul bones that can increase his soul skills. A 100,000-year soul bone can have two soul skills, and a six-piece set would have twelve soul skills, which is more than the soul skills added by a single martial soul. This is how an all-around warrior is formed.

Of course, Su Ming wouldn't miss out on a particularly outstanding soul bone, even though the soul skill of this ten-thousand-year-old Shadow Servant's left leg bone isn't exactly a divine skill.

"Sigh~, looks like it'll take another day. I'll go absorb these two soul bones first, and then go to Shrek Academy tomorrow." Su Xuan'er patted her younger brother's head and smiled gently.

My sister's seclusion lasted only a day and a night.

When Su Ming saw Su Xuan'er the next morning, her eyes were bright, and her energy was at its peak. Looking into her eyes, he felt a slight flutter, which was awe-inspiring.

"How are you feeling?" Su Ming asked.

"It's alright. My father sealed a wisp of the purest essence within the soul bone. I'm confident I can reach level 74 when I obtain the soul ring," she said in a low voice.

Seeing this, Su Ming didn't know how to comfort him.

Fortunately, my sister quickly cheered up, shook off her dejection, and said with a spirited air, "Let's go, let's go to Shrek Academy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ming felt his neck tighten and he was lifted up.

"Hey! I can fly by myself!" the boy struggled.

"Waiting for you to fly? I wonder when we'll arrive at Shrek Academy," Su Xuan'er said reproachfully.

"Waaah, my sister has changed. She used to hold me in her arms, but now she just carries me around," Su Ming cried dramatically.

Helpless, Su Xuan'er could only put her arms under her younger brother's armpits and hug him.

The direction we're heading is similar to the direction to the Starry Sky Forest; we're both flying south.

Because the continent's number one academy is located at the intersection of the Star Dou Forest, the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Dou Ling Empire, and the Star Luo Empire, it has always served as the front line, deterring the overlords of the Star Dou Forest.

The siblings finally arrived in the evening.

"What a magnificent city!" Su Ming exclaimed, looking at the city shrouded in twilight.

The towering city walls, bathed in the orange-red glow of twilight with a hint of decay, resembled an ancient temple of giants.

"This is Shrek City. As the exit of the forest where the three great empires meet and the largest gathering of soul beasts, it is one of the most prosperous commercial cities on the continent, with a population of two million, all managed by Shrek Academy."

Seeing the boy's excited expression, Su Xuan'er smiled and introduced him.

"Let's go. We can't fly in Shrek City. We'll take a carriage to the East District. That's where the real Shrek Academy is." The older sister called out to a nearby public carriage road.

Upon hearing this, Su Ming boarded the carriage with some trepidation. He felt a sense of unease, like someone leaving a beginner's village where he had always played single-player games and was about to play online.

Only after leaning against her sister's soft shoulder and smelling the familiar fragrance did she calm down a little.

Su Xuan'er noticed her brother's worry and comforted him, "Don't worry, they can't see through your disguise. Just act like you normally do."

"Hmm." Su Ming nodded, thinking, 'What am I worried about? Just treat them like NPCs. Besides, even if the whole world is my enemy, I still have a backup plan. Everyone wants to kill the Reincarnators, so why should I be afraid?'

The carriage traveled for half an hour before finally arriving at the East District. Inside, there were Soul Masters dressed in yellow outfits with green badges on their chests. They were all students of Shrek Academy, and their youthful appearances clearly indicated that they were still minors.

Students were guarding the city gate, where ten sculptures stood, representing the Golden Triangle and the Shrek Seven Devils.

Su Xuan'er recounted the origins of the story in detail, but Su Ming, who already knew the Douluo Continent plot, was bored and gave a perfunctory reply, thinking to himself, 'No one knows Douluo Continent better than me.'

"Sis, you're not a Shrek student anymore, do you still have a pass?" Su Ming suddenly asked quietly.

"Hmph." Su Xuan'er snorted proudly, "Who looks down on whom? I am one of the Shrek Seven Devils from two years ago, and I have permanent access to Shrek Academy."

Su Ming was shocked. No wonder he always felt that his sister possessed the [Blood Explosion] technique and couldn't possibly be an unknown NPC in the Douluo World. It turned out she really was a celebrity.

The Reincarnation Pool of the Supreme God—Exquisite!

Soon he saw his sister take out a black and gold luxury card and hand it to the Shrek student at the gate, who immediately opened the city gate respectfully.

Su Xuan'er looked smug, feeling that she had re-established her authority as an older sister.

She always felt like an idiot when she saw her brother's theories, because she couldn't even imagine them.

clap clap clap!

The black-haired boy clapped his hands expressionlessly and said insincerely, "Awesome, awesome!"

"Ugh~, not sincere at all. Honestly, my little brother isn't cute at all anymore," Su Xuan'er said disdainfully.

The siblings got off the carriage and walked along the densely wooded path. Watching the young students hurrying by, Su Ming remarked nostalgically that this place really reminded him of his university in his previous life.

A vibrant and youthful beauty, with long, straight, fair legs... cough cough.

"Come on, I'll introduce you to the senior students in the inner academy. They are all commoners who chose to stay in the academy, probably being groomed to be future leaders of Shrek Academy. It will be good for you to get along with them."

Su Xuan'er acted swiftly and decisively, leading her younger brother deeper into Shrek Academy.
