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

"call--"

Before Zhang Lexuan could continue to help Lin Xiao check his injuries, she was startled by a heavy breathing. She turned around and found that it was not breathing.

The badger's bloated body was becoming sluggish, and the air in its body was squeezed out from the wound on its neck, making a sound similar to breathing. A fishy stench from its internal organs suddenly filled the surroundings.

Then, a blood-red soul ring slowly rose.

One hundred thousand year soul ring.

Zhang Lexuan's expression changed slightly. Even she, at first, had only thought of stalling for a while until Xuanzi arrived, and had never imagined they could actually kill this 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Just when she was a little dazed, the soul ring suddenly flew towards Lin Xiao at a rapid speed as if attracted by something.

not good!

Zhang Lexuan's expression suddenly changed. Even a 100,000-year spirit ring wasn't always a good thing. In her perception, Lin Xiao was only at level 70, and was currently seriously injured and unconscious. How could he possibly withstand the power of a 100,000-year spirit ring?

Moreover, Lin Xiao had already fallen into a coma. Why would this soul ring fly towards him on its own initiative? Was it because the remaining consciousness of the soul beast in the soul ring still had thoughts of revenge?

Zhang Lexuan wanted to stop him, but in the blink of an eye, the blood-red soul ring had already merged into Lin Xiao's body. Lin Xiao's face suddenly turned pale, and a large amount of blood spurted out of his mouth. Then, his face turned red again in an instant.

Lin Xiao had no idea what was happening outside. He had already appeared in a familiar yet unfamiliar place.

Looking up, he saw a sea of ​​flowers all around him, a path faintly visible in it, and shadows passing by him.

"You said you would let my family go..."

"Mission...assassination..."

"You've come here too. You didn't accept my inheritance. This is the retribution you deserve..."

A series of ethereal voices rang in Lin Xiao's ears like whispers, but he did not stop, but continued to move forward.

This was not his first time here. He had had this experience before when he was undergoing the soul-raising ceremony. At that time, he was suffering and his consciousness was almost dissipating. Finally, he appeared in this place where life and death were intertwined.

This time, am I on the brink of life and death again?

Lin Xiao suddenly laughed. Having lived in the Holy Spirit Church for so long, the so-called "self-preservation" had become his first priority. But he hadn't expected that when he saw Zhang Lexuan sacrifice herself to block the attack of the 100,000-year soul beast, he would still take action...

Fortunately, the result is good.

Lin Xiao raised his head slightly and looked forward. If he remembered correctly, the front should be his spiritual sea.

As he walked, he soon heard the sound of gurgling water. A small river appeared in front of him. He didn't know where it came from and where it ended, but it seemed much wider than the last time he came.

And across the river...

When Lin Xiao looked across, his expression suddenly froze on his face.

I don’t know if everyone’s spiritual sea is different or if he is special. Ever since his consciousness was able to reach the spiritual sea, he always saw a river symbolizing spiritual power dividing it into two similar parts.

And now, earth-shaking changes have taken place on the other side of the river.

Both banks of the river are in full bloom with red spider lilies, which symbolize death, but Lin Xiao is a living person after all. When he walks among the flowers, he inevitably leaves a trace of life. At this time, the other side of the river is dead silent.

A layer of gray covered the countless flowers. The river water not only separated his spiritual sea, but also divided his spiritual sea into two independent parts.

Although there are flowers blooming on this shore, this side is still closely connected to the world, while the other side has truly turned into a world of "death", and there is no sign of life under the layer of gray fog.

Lin Xiao's body shook violently, and an inexplicable feeling spread throughout his body. He didn't know what changes had happened to him, but he knew that the "death" attribute in his martial soul was far deeper and purer than before.

In the sea of ​​​​spirituality, the body transformed by Lin Xiao's consciousness raised its head slightly and looked at the gray ball of light in the air.

Is it because of the changes brought about by this person who almost became the god of death?

Yes, Lin Xiao succeeded.

Perhaps it was because he was not bound by the "fate" of this world, or perhaps the figure in front of him was too powerful and beyond "fate", or perhaps it was both. In short, at that moment when the sky and the earth changed color, the gray ball of light still fell into his sea of ​​​​spiritual thought.

As thoughts flashed through his mind, the gray fog in front of him began to flow slowly, forming a blurry shadow, facing Lin Xiao across the river.

"I never thought that a trace of my soul could still be left."

An old voice came to his ears. Lin Xiao said nothing, but just stared at the figure on the other side quietly.

"The means of manipulating souls can be either good or evil. Previously, I was worried that this power would be exploited by evil people, but now it seems that I have met a kind person again."

"Anyone who lends a hand to others in distress, regardless of the reason, is not a wicked person. Well, I will help you this time as a token of my gratitude for the shelter you provided."

The old voice was still in Lin Xiao's ears at first, and then it echoed in the entire sea of ​​​​spiritual power. The river symbolizing spiritual power rushed out as if it was out of control. Lin Xiao seemed to see the scenery outside, a blood-red color was rushing straight towards him.

The next moment, a feeling of comfort came from his right arm and then spread to his entire body.

"Holding the sun and moon in my hands, plucking the stars, there is no one like me in the world. Look carefully, at this moment, it is time to destroy and then build."

The old voice echoed in the sea of ​​​​spirituality. Lin Xiao seemed to have realized something. He sat cross-legged on the river bank and closed his eyes. The flowers around him, which symbolized death, bloomed more brightly.

Streams of emerald green air flowed along his meridians like blood, spreading throughout his body and into his spiritual sea, changing silently.

Chapter 118 Electrolux

When the hundred thousand year soul ring entered Lin Xiao's body, the violent power instantly filled his dantian and meridians. His whole body seemed to become a little swollen, veins bulged under his skin, and the majestic soul power traveled throughout his body, causing the scars on his body to continue to ooze blood.

Zhang Lexuan looked at Lin Xiao bewilderedly, glancing around. The noise of the battle had caused all the nearby spirit beasts to flee elsewhere, leaving the forest in complete silence, with no sign of anyone.

She wanted to find someone but was afraid that Lin Xiao would be in danger. She didn't dare move Lin Xiao's body at this time. She had no choice but to raise her hand gently and wipe the blood off his body.

Time passed minute by minute, and Lin Xiao's tightly furrowed brows did not relax at all. The violent soul power continued to travel in his body, causing a trickle of blood to flow from the corner of his mouth from time to time.

However, Zhang Lexuan, who had been watching him, had calmed down considerably. Although the power of the badger spirit ring filled Lin Xiao's meridians and continuously damaged his body, there was also a force that kept him alive.

Even when Zhang Lexuan was helping him wipe away the blood, one could see with the naked eye that the flesh and blood in Lin Xiao's wound was constantly wriggling, repairing his body.

The vital power made Zhang Lexuan, who was standing beside her, feel warm.

Destruction, repair... Lin Xiao's whole body seemed to be repeating this process all the time. Every time new flesh and blood grew out, it would be more resilient than the previous one, and the speed of destruction of the power in the soul ring would become slower and slower.

Until one moment, the soul power in Lin Xiao's body trembled violently, the bottleneck of level 70 no longer existed, and the soul power level began to increase continuously.

Within the sea of ​​​​spirituality, Lin Xiao's consciousness had completely entered a deep meditation. Although the person in front of him came from another different world, some things were still connected. As a person who almost became the god of death, his understanding of death was far superior to Lin Xiao's.

Behind Lin Xiao was a sea of ​​flowers. Just as his body was constantly being destroyed and repaired, his consciousness also hovered on the edge of life and death. Countless thoughts surged from his heart, and his mental power continued to surge.

The martial soul, body, spirit, and will, all of these are gradually merging, and the entire spiritual sea seems to have become a real world, symbolizing that the river of spiritual power is getting wider and wider, while the distance between the two banks is getting closer and closer, as if truly connecting the boundary between life and death.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes, the scenery on the other side clearly imprinted in his vision. There, too, was his spiritual sea, yet it seemed like another independent world. The gray power that permeated it didn't weaken Lin Xiao's mental strength in the slightest, but instead deepened his understanding of death.

With a slight movement of his mind, the entire sea of ​​flowers rippled slightly, like a gentle breeze blowing through the water. Lin Xiao could sense many changes taking place within himself, changes that he couldn't fully explain for a moment.

"how do you feel?"

An old voice sounded from the other side, and Lin Xiao raised his head slightly.

"Who are you?" he asked knowingly.

"If you're asking for my name, I can't remember it. I just remember that others seemed to call me 'Electrolux'. You can call me that, too."

Electrolux, this familiar name now really appeared in front of him, and Lin Xiao didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you. I have already died once, and it is only a wisp of my soul that has drifted to your place and is temporarily resting in your sea of ​​​​spirit."

"Although it's a bit unexpected, I no longer have the energy to continue wandering. If you can let me rest here for a while, I will reward you."

"You should have noticed that some changes have occurred in your spiritual sea and body. This is not a bad thing for you, and it is also my gratitude. I can feel that your power is somewhat similar to mine. In the future, you can come here often to gain insights when you have time."

Despite the brief introduction, Lin Xiao could sense that Alex was still holding back. But then again, he wasn't a blank slate like Huo Yuhao, and most people wouldn't let a stranger stay in their spiritual sea the first time they met him.

Electrolux didn't know that Lin Xiao knew his background, so he naturally assumed that Lin Xiao was somewhat resistant.

But Lin Xiao hoped he could stay here a little longer. And if it was just a thank you gift, the changes before him were already enough.

"Okay." Lin Xiao nodded.

"Okay, thank you. And don't worry, even though I'm staying in your sea of ​​​​spirit, I don't have the ability to pry into your privacy." Ilex seemed to laugh, "Alas, this remnant of soul is still too weak. Even with the help of the Gold of Life, I'm already so exhausted after just a few simple words. I need to sleep for a while, and you should also take time to digest the changes in your body."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gray ball of light in Lin Xiao's spiritual sea flickered slightly a few times, and then there was no movement at all. Only the gray fog was still spreading on the opposite bank.

Lin Xiao looked up at the gray ball of light, his eyes flickering slightly.

Although the process was somewhat complicated, at least it allowed Electrolux to stay. From Electrolux's previous words, he probably already understood that what really attracted Electrolux was not the Soul Gold, but his ability to control souls.

As Electrolux had said, this power could be either good or evil. Once controlled by the wicked, it would surely cause chaos. Electrolux's initial purpose in seeking him out wasn't simply to find a place to stay, but also to prevent the power to control souls from falling into the hands of those with ulterior motives.

It was not until he took action to save Zhang Lexuan that he felt that he was not a bad person, and then he appeared in the sea of ​​​​spirituality.

Lin Xiao chuckled inwardly. Growing up in the Holy Spirit Church, he'd heard plenty of praise, but this was the first time someone had described him as a "good person." Perhaps there was something about him that only "good people" possessed, which had prevented him from fully integrating into the Holy Spirit Church until now.

With a long sigh, Lin Xiao's consciousness gradually disappeared in the sea of ​​​​spiritual. Before he opened his eyes, a faint fragrance penetrated his nostrils, which was somewhat similar to the fragrance emitted by his martial soul, but much softer than that.

He felt no pain, only a rich vitality coursing through him, bringing a sense of comfort. Soul power surged through his meridians, and before he could even feel it, Lin Xiao realized his Soul Power level was already far beyond level 70.

Chapter 119 The Long Night

A cool feeling passed over his face, as if something was gently brushing against him. Lin Xiao opened his eyes and found darkness all around him, with only a few rays of moonlight filtering through the branches and leaves. It was clearly night. A shadow flashed before him, a little unclear in the darkness.

"you're awake?"

Zhang Lexuan's voice sounded from the side. Lin Xiao turned his head slightly and saw her sitting in front of him, breathing a little faster.

"Yeah." Lin Xiao nodded and looked around. He found himself half-sitting and half-lying on the ground against a tall tree. The surroundings were quite quiet. There was nothing else except some subtle chirping of insects. It was obviously not the place where he had fought with the badger beast before.

"Where is this place?"

"This is the outer area." Zhang Lexuan sat a little further away, but her eyes never left Lin Xiao. "The mixed zone is unsafe at night. I saw that your condition had stabilized, so I brought you here."

"Thank you."

Lin Xiao thanked him and the surroundings became quiet again.

"You..." Zhang Lexuan hesitated, "Have we met before the last time we encountered the Gold Devouring Beast?"

When Lin Xiao used his soul skills in front of Zhang Lexuan, he had already guessed that he would be recognized. The last time they met, he hadn't revealed much of his identity as a soul mentor, but when the sea of ​​flowers appeared, Zhang Lexuan would definitely remember the scene of their first meeting.

"Yeah." Lin Xiao did not deny it.

"So it was you who was at Rongguan Ferry that night?"

"You even remember this?" Lin Xiao was a little surprised. He had indeed witnessed Shrek Academy rescuing the Dragon Girl from the Ordinary Alliance, but he hadn't expected Zhang Lexuan to notice him even though he left immediately. "I thought I was running fast enough, but I didn't expect you to notice me anyway."

"No..." Zhang Lexuan shook her head, wanting to say that not everyone, but only she noticed the familiar mask, but after thinking about it, she changed the subject, "I didn't expect that people from your Sun-Moon Empire would also come to the Star Dou Great Forest to look for spirit rings."

"Sun-Moon Empire?" Lin Xiao paused, then gently stretched his body to make himself more comfortable. He relaxed completely, then raised his head slightly to look at the moonlight filtering through the branches. "Actually, I don't even know where I'm from."

"When I was little, I lived in a remote village. Later, an evil spirit master passed by there, and I... I was lucky enough to be brought to the Sun-Moon Empire by my teacher. Later, when I wanted to go back, I couldn't find the specific location of the village. It must have been completely reduced to ruins."
