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

"Yes, teacher." Lin Xiao replied. It was not until a long time later that he slowly stood up straight, his eyes slightly narrowed, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

After his trip to the prison, Lin Xiao's life seemed to have calmed down a lot. Apart from learning soul guides and meditation, he had no other trivial matters, just like other students in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy.

The carving knife in Lin Xiao's hand danced like a butterfly. In a moment, a new magic circle took shape in Lin Xiao's hand.

Lin Jiayi, who was standing by, didn't know how many times he had marveled at Lin Xiao's talent. Such mental strength and control over soul power would make any soul engineer envious.

Lin Xiao, on the other hand, didn't consider himself a genius. With his Soul King cultivation, engraving a Level 2 Soul Guidance Array was naturally easy for him.

It's like an adult studying with a group of second-grade children. Even if he has never read a book before, he will understand it much faster than the other children.

However, this also allowed Lin Xiao to inadvertently realize a path that suits him.

For other soul masters, they do not have much talent in soul mastery, so in order to make and use higher-level soul guides, they are even willing to sacrifice their future potential and use drugs to improve their soul power level.

But for him, whether it is because of his innate soul power or the special nature of his martial soul, he does not have to worry about the insufficient level of soul power.

When the soul power level reaches a certain level, it will be very easy to go back and learn low-level soul guides.

He can focus most of his attention on cultivation. As long as his soul power level is high enough and he is more familiar with controlling his soul power, it will naturally be easier to make soul guides.

The noise of the students outside interrupted Lin Xiao's thoughts and brought Lin Jiayi back to his senses. His soul guide laboratory was soundproof, and being able to hear the outside noise from inside was enough to show how noisy it was outside.

Glancing out the window, Lin Jiayi chuckled, "I've been so busy teaching you how to make soul guides these days that I almost forgot the time. Today is the day students start school, so there should be a lot of new faces. Do you want to come with me to take a look and take a break?"

"Yeah, okay." Lin Xiao also stood up and stretched. Although making a soul guide was not difficult, sitting at the table all the time was not very comfortable.

As soon as I walked out of the laboratory door, the sounds from outside came over immediately, and all kinds of excited conversations continued to ring out.

"You were specially recruited into the academy, so you probably don't know the process for recruiting new students." Lin Jiayi had already walked forward. "It's pretty much the same as when you first came in, but new students will only be admitted after taking a physical exam."

Lin Xiao followed behind, knowing clearly that the physical test of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy was more like an assessment of the students' overall strength. Combined with their age, it could also roughly determine their talent.

"Hey, why is he here too?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao followed Lin Jiayi's gaze and saw a very young man standing outside the physical examination room. He looked to be in his twenties or early thirties.

"Teacher, who is that?"

"You've probably never seen him. His name is Xuan Ziwen. He can be considered the youngest teacher in our Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy." Lin Jiayi looked at Xuan Ziwen with some admiration in his eyes.

"He's actually only a few years older than the students in the academy, and even younger than some of the students in Mingde Hall. But he's already graduated from Mingde Hall and was specially hired by the academy as a teacher."

"But he's devoted himself to the research of soul guides. He's called a teacher, but he's never had a disciple. I don't know why he's here today. Could it be that there's a disciple he's taken a fancy to?"

Xuan Ziwen.

Lin Xiao kept repeating the name in his mind. If he remembered correctly, the all-terrain soul guide that Lin Jiayi had mentioned before should have been researched by him. However, he later seemed to be attracted by the Tang Sect's mechanical technology and joined the Tang Sect.

Just as he was thinking, a figure emerged from the physical examination room and walked to Xuan Ziwen.

Looking at the figure, Lin Xiao paused slightly.

"That child is the student Xuan Ziwen is going to take?" Lin Jiayi raised his head, as if to see more clearly.

The news of the prince's assassination has spread, but he doesn't know that Lin Xiao is at the scene, and of course he doesn't recognize Orange who just came out of the physical examination room.

Xuan Ziwen seemed to notice Lin Jiayi's gaze, nodded at him, and then left with the orange.

Chapter 58 Bloody Night

"It's worth coming here today. I didn't expect Xuan Ziwen, who doesn't care about worldly affairs other than research, to start teaching students."

Unlike Lin Jiayi, Lin Xiao took a closer look at Juzi. She looked well, much better than when she was fleeing, and her injuries should not be serious anymore.

There are still many capable people in the Sun-Moon Empire who can help her recover in such a situation.

Needless to say, the status of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy in the Sun Moon Empire is very high. The students who come here are almost all the most talented soul guides in the entire empire. Lin Jiayi looked at the new students who came here because of its reputation, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

However, Lin Xiao was not very interested in these things. It was not until he returned home at night and saw a blood-red mark at the door of the dormitory that his expression changed significantly.

The Holy Spirit Church is about to take action again.

The weather tonight was not very good. Even though the light from the lighting soul guide illuminated the entire night sky of Mingdu, it still had a foggy feeling from a distance.

The humid air reduced the number of people going out at night, and the area around the palace was extremely quiet, with no other sounds except the footsteps of the patrol teams.

Near the imperial palace are the residences of the nobles. The towering courtyard walls are decorated with precious colored tiles, which reflect beautiful light under the illumination of the soul guide.

A light breeze blew by, and the wind chimes under the eaves jingled. Several figures climbed over the courtyard wall and spread out in the darkness like ink dots.

"Who?"

It seemed that someone in the room had noticed something was wrong. As he spoke, his figure had already risen into the air and appeared in mid-air. Then, he saw a big net coming towards his head.

His soul power subconsciously activated, and nine soul rings rose from his body. To be able to serve such nobles, his strength was naturally impressive. Several soul guides emerged from various parts of his body, pointing forward.

However, as the net descended, a surge of electricity shot through his body, his limbs suddenly going numb, and his heart also felt a chill. He already knew that the attacker was probably also a Titled Douluo.

The Titled Douluo used the air as his battlefield. On the ground, within the tall courtyard wall, several figures had already scattered. As their soul rings lit up one after another, several secret sentries in the mansion suddenly fell to the ground.

"Someone is attacking, protect His Royal Highness!"

Finally, someone realized that something was wrong. With a loud shout, the Second Prince's mansion suddenly became noisy. Waves of footsteps were heard from all directions, and the fully armored guards of the mansion quickly rushed over.

However, at this moment, a strong wind suddenly arose around them, and there seemed to be the howling of something in the wind. The armors that were shining with cold light did not protect the guards inside at all, and the figures fell one after another.

Only the captain of the guard managed to hold on. However, the shrieking continued in his ears, and he felt dizzy and his head pounded for a moment. After finally calming down, he saw five inky black spirit rings before him.

He subconsciously thought that he had not yet woken up, and then he saw a dark red light getting closer and closer to him.

The next moment, with a cry of pain, the ever-expanding flesh and blood burst the armor.

Lin Xiao clenched his fist slightly, and the light of the third soul ring around him gradually dimmed. He glanced at the guard and his eyes quickly fell on the main hall.

The Holy Spirit Church acted very quickly, but the warning just now was also transmitted, but there was no movement in the main hall.

Several figures have gathered behind Lin Xiao, obviously waiting for his orders.

"Wait."

Lin Xiao simply uttered a single word and said no more. He certainly had other means of finding out what was going on in the room, but now was not the time to reveal it.

It took only an hour from seeing the sign at the dormitory door to setting out with the Holy Spirit Church. There was no time to make any plans in such a short time, and the Holy Spirit Church did not need any plans.

It wasn't just Lin Xiao and his group who took action. The other disciples had already blocked all the surrounding streets, and several elders were dealing with the masters in the mansion in the air. With more people against fewer, the outcome could be decided by numbers alone. It wouldn't take long before they could end the battle.

In just a quarter of an hour, the soul power fluctuations in the air subsided, and a figure fell from the sky. He looked at the main hall and immediately understood something.

The third elder looked around and lifted his foot. A corpse flew into the main hall. The next moment, several rays of light lit up and pierced the corpse.

The Third Elder raised his brows slightly upon seeing this, and a net-shaped soul guide flew into the room right after him, followed by a burst of thunder that resounded throughout the main hall.

"Come on, let's go in."

Lin Xiao and the other three elders, Ming Lei Douluo, took a few steps forward and then followed him. As soon as they reached the door, they smelled a foul smell of burnt flesh and blood.

The soul engineer who was lying in ambush in the room had already lost his combat effectiveness under the attack of the Titled Douluo. The Second Prince was sitting on the ground, his clothes a little disheveled, and he looked like he had just woken up from his sleep.

"Who are you?"

The second prince's throat moved and he swallowed.

"A debt collector."

A gloomy voice sounded from outside the room, followed by the sound of wheels rolling over stone slabs, and a young girl slowly appeared from outside the door pushing a wheelchair.

Lin Xiao raised his eyes slightly and saw Juzi pushing Xu Tianran in.

"Brother?" The Second Prince's face was instantly filled with panic. "Brother, is there some misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding?" Xu Tianran's already gloomy face became even uglier, and his teeth were grinding.

"Then tell me what kind of misunderstanding led me to this situation?" Xu Tianran said as he lifted the blanket on the wheelchair, revealing two empty trouser legs underneath.

"Ah—" The Second Prince screamed, staring intently at Xu Tianran's lower body. "Brother, who is it, who made you look like this?"

"Now that I'm here, you don't have to act like this. The pain I endured must be repaid to you double."

Xu Tianran's voice gradually calmed down, and Juzi, who was standing beside him, stepped forward and picked up the blanket on the ground.

Xu Tianran narrowed his eyes and let Juzi cover him with the blanket. Then there was a dragon roar, a flash of cold light, and the lower body of the second prince on the ground also disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood splattered high.

"Ah—" The Second Prince screamed, and seemed to want to struggle again, "Brother, this, this is all forced upon me!"

Xu Tianran did not respond, only his chest kept rising and falling. A purple light lit up, and one of the Second Prince's arms was shattered.

"Hmph."

Beads of sweat kept falling from the Second Prince's forehead, but he tried hard not to cry out. Instead, he sneered, "Xu Tianran, look at you now. Even if I can't survive tonight, you won't continue to stay in the position of Crown Prince."

Chapter 59 Going out

"They won't allow me to, but I insist on sitting in this position. I want to see who will come and compete for the position of Crown Prince after tonight."

As the voice fell, the second prince's last arm also disappeared. Blood flowed all over the ground, completely soaking the second prince's gorgeous clothes.

Xu Tianran leaned back on the wheelchair and watched quietly as the second prince struggled in a pool of blood.

After a long time, his eyes narrowed slightly, "I'm a little tired."

Juzi immediately understood and pushed Xu Tianran's wheelchair out.

"Lingchi."

A soft sigh came from outside the door.

There weren't many people left in the room, so Lin Xiao followed them out. In the courtyard, Ju Zi was accompanying Xu Tianran as they listened to the screams coming from the room.

"If it weren't for you, I would have been killed by the sword long ago. If you have any wishes, please tell me."

"Your Highness." Juzi said softly, "Juzi has no other wishes. My only wish is to avenge my parents..."

Lin Xiao glanced at him and stopped looking. Perhaps Ju Zi had been planning this scenario since he first met Xu Tianran. After all, revenge against the White Tiger Duke of the Xingluo Empire would require something far beyond imagination.

The news of the murder of the second prince of the Sun-Moon Empire quickly spread throughout the city of Mingdu. The smell of blood filled his mansion for a long time before gradually dissipating. It was said that the first person who discovered it still has a traumatic experience and dares not even look at meat.

However, when the news was spreading like wildfire among ordinary people, the royal family, which should have taken it more seriously, said nothing. They just conducted a symbolic investigation and hastily closed the case without even a clear result.

Only some voices in the court proposing to appoint another crown prince gradually subsided.

In the Sun and Moon Royal Academy, Lin Jiayi, who had just heard the news, was still sighing softly. However, Lin Xiao, who had experienced this incident personally, was studying the soul guide device as if nothing had happened.

"Okay, it's almost time. The academy has approved it. Come with me."
