The Evil Soul Master is actually myself

He never expected that his first attempt at doing something wrong would be discovered.

Su Xuan'er held her younger brother's hand tightly with her slender palm, signaling him not to be nervous. Then, she greeted Xian Lin'er with a sweet smile and said, "What brings you here?"

Xian Lin'er gave her a charming glare and said irritably, "I'm your master, why can't I come? Do you think I'm bothering you?"

She stared at their clasped hands and asked, "What's going on here?"

Su Xuan'er said without changing her expression, "It's nothing, my little brother is a bit dependent on me."

Xian Lin'er suddenly realized and said tactfully, "Some children from single-parent families have a strong attachment to their mothers. You'd better be careful."

"Yes, yes, I've said it so many times. There's nothing I can do, he's my only brother, so let him be." The mature woman said with a helpless and doting smile.

Su Ming was completely bewildered. This blame was being placed on me; it was clearly my sister who started it all along…

The young man couldn't help but glance at Su Xuan'er, secretly thinking, "Is acting really a woman's innate skill?"

“Sigh, this won’t do. No matter how much I love my younger brother, I can’t do this. How about we separate for a while? I need to give Su Ming some special training.”

Xianlin'er said seriously.

“Alright then, he really needs to be independent.” Su Xuan’er nodded and glared at her younger brother when Xian Lin’er couldn’t see, her expression full of threat.

The matter was thus dropped.

But Su Ming felt that he would be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of his life, labeled as having a thing for older women. When he dated the girls in the academy, they would definitely be terrified of him.

What is meant by "impressionistic flow"?

Even if someone never makes a mistake, if they do make a few mistakes and someone happens to see it, an impression will be formed. No matter how good their performance has been all along, in other people's eyes, the stain is unacceptable.

For some reason, Su Ming felt a sense of satisfaction. Since he had already decided on his sister, he might as well let all the blame fall on him.

"I'm taking this kid with me now, okay?" Xian Lin'er said to Su Xuan'er, lifting the boy up with one hand.

Su Ming struggled for a moment, then said with dissatisfaction, "Sister Lin'er, I'm already a teenager, I can walk by myself."

"Alright, alright, the little guy has grown up." The beautiful woman put down the black-haired boy and gently pinched his delicate face.

"Go on, go on." Su Xuan'er waved her hand. She knew that Xian Lin'er had come here specifically to give Su Ming some pointers. It was a rare opportunity, and even if she was reluctant, she couldn't delay her younger brother.

Su Ming followed Xian Lin'er and they arrived at the Golden Tree.

"Master, Master, what special skills did you bring me here to teach me?" Su Ming asked curiously.

Xian Lin'er glanced at the young man and said without hiding anything, "Soul Ring Fusion."

"From [Soul Skill Mastery] to [Soul Skill Variation], and then to [Soul Ring Fusion], you advance step by step. [Soul Ring Fusion] is Shrek Academy's most advanced course," the beautiful woman said slowly.

Su Ming vaguely remembered that Xu Sanshi in the original novel had used it in the Youth Soul Fighting Competition, which secured the victory and amazed the world, but he rarely used it afterward.

"Soul ring fusion is not something that just anyone can do, so it is not common. The most crucial factor is that the martial soul must have the bloodline of an ancient divine beast, and almost no one in the world has achieved this."

Xianlin'er added, "The academy saw your potential, which is why they asked me to mentor you."

Su Ming suddenly understood, but he had a question and asked, "How do you cultivate soul ring fusion?"

"Oh, well, I only have a vague understanding of it myself, because I've never tried it," Xian Lin'er said awkwardly.

Seeing the boy's shocked expression, she quickly tried to salvage the situation by explaining:

"However, I can describe it. The essence of soul ring fusion is to forcibly fuse soul rings by stimulating the bloodline of divine beasts, and to reorganize and reorder the extracted related mysteries into one, forming a new soul ring and soul skill. This process is actually imitating the innate divine power of soul beasts."

"As you know, because soul beasts don't have soul rings, some of their innate skills can be combined and used freely. As a result, divine beasts like the Phoenix and the Black Tortoise have evolved to the extreme and developed certain rule-based divine abilities."

Su Ming was somewhat moved after hearing this. Wasn't this the same path as the Supreme Treasure Technique?

The boy blinked his bright eyes and looked at Xian Lin'er, saying, "Sister, I want to learn this!"

Chapter 117 Black Tortoise and Golden Dragon

"No problem." Xian Lin'er naturally agreed to her precious disciple's request without hesitation.

Suddenly remembering something, she asked Su Ming seriously, "By the way, what kind of spirit beasts produced your first three spirit rings? This determines whether you can successfully cultivate spirit ring fusion."

"Ah, these are all tiger-type spirit beasts, two of them are from the Qiongqi lineage," Su Ming said, taken aback.

"Is the quality really that good?" Xian Lin'er asked in surprise, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, because the number of divine beast bloodlines a person can possess is limited. Since the soul ring is produced by a lower-level soul beast of the same category, the soul ring can be fused with the least amount of bloodline, reducing the burden on the body and making it easier to complete the soul ring fusion."

Su Ming nodded, thinking to himself, "Actually, my martial soul is the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which has absolutely nothing to do with the Qiongqi lineage. The bloodline I possess is not the bloodline of the divine beast Qiongqi, but the bloodline of a true god."

"Where should we go now?" the boy asked, looking at the golden tree that was right in front of him.

“Go to the simulation training room.” She explained, “Soul rings are the foundation of a Soul Master’s cultivation. The forging process is too dangerous. If you’re not careful, your cultivation will be completely ruined. We need a special training room to suppress them.”

"And by the way, let me introduce you to two people. They are the only two among the younger generation to have successfully fused their soul rings... Oh, one of them barely qualifies." Xian Lin'er said to Su Ming with a smile.

Su Ming vaguely knew who those two people were referring to.

As expected, upon arriving at the entrance of the Sea God Pavilion, the two waiting there exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Su Ming:

"Young Master Su?"

"The Netherworld Demon God Biao Suming?"

The black-haired boy smiled brightly, waved, and said, "Long time no see, my defeated opponents."

Upon hearing this, a tall young man in black twitched at the corner of his mouth: "You're still the same as before."

As always, Beibei was gentle and easygoing, and he couldn't be provoked at all.

"So you two know each other. That makes things easier." Xian Lin'er said in surprise, turning to Xu Sanshi and saying, "Sanshi, he's in your hands now. No matter what method you use, you must teach Su Ming how to fuse soul rings."

After explaining what had happened, the beautiful woman turned to leave.

The three of them were stunned. Su Ming's eyes widened as he said, "Sister Lin'er? Didn't you say you were here to give me special training?"

Xian Lin'er rolled her eyes and said, "I don't understand soul ring fusion at all, how am I supposed to teach you?"

"Besides, having Beibei and Sanshi is enough. They all possess the bloodline of divine beasts. You can understand them by exchanging ideas. It's just that Elder Xuan and Elder Mu didn't come to teach them."

She paused for a moment, then left without hesitation.

The three boys were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

"You've come this far too?" Xu Sanshi spoke first from the silence, somewhat surprised.

A year ago, he noticed that Su Ming possessed a strong divine beast bloodline, but he never expected that Su Ming, who was not even twelve years old, would begin to delve into the highest techniques of Douluo Continent.

"If you can do it at fifteen, why can't I?" Su Ming said, pursing his lips.

"Did the Xuanzu take you as his disciple? Is he... alright?" Beibei asked Su Ming softly, having learned some things from Sister Lexuan.

"He's just a disciple in name only. Is the old man in good health? But it seems..." Su Ming didn't finish his sentence. If his memory serves him right, Old Master Mu doesn't have many years left to live.

Beibei was silent for a moment, then suddenly shook her head and laughed, "Forget it, let's not talk about such heavy topics. Since you are Xuanzu's disciple, then you can be considered my junior brother."

"Let's get to know each other again, Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Bebe." The blue-haired boy smiled gently and extended his hand.

Su Ming looked at Bei Bei's handsome and sunny face and couldn't help but sigh that some people are born with the temperament of a leader. He then extended his hand and said, "Netherworld Demon God Tiger Su Ming."

The two shook hands solemnly.

"Hey~, how could you forget about me?" Xu Sanshi complained from the side, reaching out as if to slam his hand down on their clasped hands.

But at that moment, Su Ming and Bei Bei tacitly let go of each other's hands.

Xu Sanshi grasped at nothing, and due to excessive force, he staggered and almost fell.

"Why are you ignoring me? Is male friendship so superficial?" Xu Sanshi shouted in a strange, gay tone.

Both of them ignored the clown and assumed he had intellectual disabilities.

"How do you cultivate soul ring fusion?" Su Ming humbly asked Bei Bei for guidance. He felt that this method of shattering soul rings, refining their profound meanings, and recombining them had great potential and he had to learn it.

"Let's go to the [Bai Ze Cultivation Room] first. I regret that my bloodline concentration was insufficient back then, so I couldn't cultivate it successfully." Bei Bei's mood was a little down.

Objectively speaking, his talent is indeed inferior to that of his great-grandfather's generation, and his martial soul has degenerated from the Holy Light Dragon to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus.

Su Ming, not understanding, asked, "Can soul ring fusion only be done once in a lifetime?"

"Yes, because of the special nature of Bai Ze's training room, its unique ability can greatly reduce the difficulty of soul ring fusion, but it only works once on one person."

"Of course, you can try it yourself, but based on past experience, without the help of Bai Ze's cultivation room, the result will most likely be the complete loss of your cultivation." Xu Sanshi learned to answer first; he felt that if he didn't speak up, he would lose his presence.

“Bai Ze…” Su Ming pondered, he could roughly guess what that strange ability was from Bai Ze’s abilities.

Bai Ze is said to know everything from astronomy and geography to the smallest details, and he can see into the past and know into the future. He can also speak human language. Of course, his greatest power is that he knows the names, appearances, and exorcism spells of all ghosts and monsters in the world. He can be called the god of wisdom in China.

Even if the Douluo Continent world is of a low level, Bai Ze in this world should still have a trace of divine power, and be familiar with all the soul beasts and soul skills in Douluo Continent.

Su Ming couldn't help but feel curious about the training room, marveling at Shrek Academy's profound foundation.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the mimicry training room." Beibei walked ahead, explaining everything about Bai Ze as she went.

Su Ming was unconvinced; no one understood Bai Ze better than him. But the next moment, he was drawn in by Bei Bei's explanation.

"The mythical beast Bai Ze has long been extinct. Shrek Academy only obtained a piece of its remains, which is said to have been obtained from the treasure vault of the ambitious and arrogant Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago. It may be the only remaining piece of Bai Ze bone."

A look of longing appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He was genuinely curious about what the Douluo Continent was like tens of thousands of years ago, or even longer ago. Were divine beasts roaming everywhere, and were god-level martial souls as worthless as dogs? What was the origin of martial souls, and how were angels born?

Unfortunately, we can never go back.

Led by Beibei, the three of them ventured deep into the ground of the Golden Tree, pushed open a heavy door, and entered the Bai Ze Mimicry Cultivation Chamber.

buzz~

A layer of white light bloomed, and layers of translucent light waves reached the three people.

Among them, Su Ming made the biggest commotion. A purplish-blue, crystal-clear vertical pupil opened between his eyebrows, and his skull shimmered with a layer of translucent, dark jade-like light.

Both the Evil Eye of Destiny and the skull of the extraterrestrial demon reacted simultaneously.

"Phew, this is the feeling of my bloodline being nourished. In general, although the power of soul ring fusion is strong, the drawback is that it consumes the potential of the divine beast bloodline in my body. I basically don't use it outside."

“Only in the Bai Ze training room can I continuously replenish the bloodline of the divine beast, allowing me to practice without restraint. Because opening the Bai Ze training room consumes a lot of energy, Shrek Academy doesn't open it easily. This time, I'm really grateful to you.” Xu Sanshi took a deep breath and turned to Su Ming with a smile.

The next moment, however, he was stunned by Su Ming's state: "Huh?"

Beibei silently put a finger to her lips, signaling Xu Sanshi not to disturb Su Ming.

Chapter 118 The Light of Wisdom

Su Ming was in a strange state at the moment, but he could still sense the outside world. When he heard Xu Sanshi's words, he suddenly realized why Xu Sanshi had never used the [Soul Ring Fusion] technique since the Soul Battle Tournament.
