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

"No, you can't—"

Before Sleepy Nightmare Douluo could finish his words, Lin Xiao pressed his palm to his forehead. A gentle breeze seemed to blow from the sea of ​​​​spirituality, and the breath of death permeated the sea of ​​flowers. Sleepy Nightmare Douluo's figure slowly melted away, until finally, only a translucent shadow remained in place.

That was the soul of Sleepy Nightmare Douluo, who was opening his mouth wide and making a silent cry, trying to escape from here.

It’s just that when he was alive, Lin Xiao did need to be careful in dealing with him, but when he became a soul, it would be impossible for him to escape Lin Xiao’s control.

"Teacher," Lin Xiao said softly, "although your intentions were not pure, it was you who taught me how to meditate, how to practice, and how to fight."

"If it weren't for you, I might not have the strength I have today. So, I will make good use of your soul."

The mountains were covered with dark clouds. Suddenly, a loud thunderclap sounded. The next moment, heavy rain fell from the sky, completely washing the surrounding mountains.

In the heavy rain, Lin Xiao was lying on the ground. Beside him was a cold corpse with red spider lilies blooming on it. They kept shaking in the heavy rain, making the blood-red color even brighter.

"cough--"

Lin Xiao suddenly coughed loudly, supported himself with his arms and sat up from the ground. He flipped through the storage soul guide, found the charging soul guide from it, held it in his hand, and felt the soul power in it slowly enter his meridians.

Soul power began to flow through his dried-up meridians again, and a faint emerald green light seemed to emanate from his body, restoring some of Lin Xiao's strength. He stood up and laid the bodies of the other two Holy Spirit Sect disciples to rest before turning back to Sleepy Nightmare Douluo.

He looked him up and down, his gaze gradually resting on his left leg.

"Teacher, the soul bone you took away has now returned to me."

Chapter 128 Targeting

The heavy rain showed no sign of stopping. Lin Xiao stood in the rain, letting the rain flow down his body, feeling a sense of relief in his heart.

Although the process was very tortuous, he has now broken his nightmare.

"Where do you want to go next? Are you going back to that Holy Spirit Church you mentioned?"

Electrolux's voice sounded from the bottom of his heart. Lin Xiao thought for a moment and nodded.

Sleepy Nightmare Douluo was ordered to go to the three empires. Even if his trace could not be found, no one would suspect anything in the short term. On the contrary, his delay in returning would arouse more suspicion.

And just like Alex said, if one day he really has power, what will he do with this power?

When he was little, he only thought about how to survive, and later on, his thoughts turned to how to escape the control of the Nightmare Douluo. Now, perhaps he really should think about what he wants to do in the future.

There are still many secrets in the Holy Spirit Church that he, who has the memories of his past life, has never understood. Moreover, if he escapes from the Holy Spirit Church now, he will not be able to go back to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. There are still many things worth learning in Mingde Hall.

Glancing around, all traces of the battle here had completely vanished under the heavy rain. Lin Xiao felt a significant amount of his soul power returning to him. He stepped forward and dashed through the rain into the distance. The surroundings soon returned to calm...

"I brought you here today to find a suitable soul guide for you." At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Lin Jiayi was leading several students into the Mingde Hall.

"There's less than a year left until the Fighting Spirit Tournament. You all saw with your own eyes how we failed in the last tournament, so we must defeat Shrek Academy this time."

Lin Jiayi walked in front, picked up the nameplate in his hand and gently swiped it across. A metal door slowly opened in front of him, and behind the door were countless soul guides of various shapes.

"This is where the latest soul guide developed by Mingde Hall is stored. Even disciples who can enter Mingde Hall do not have permission to enter here. You guys are special cases. Remember not to leak the information here."

"We understand, Director." Several disciples behind Lin Jiayi nodded in unison.

"Well, you guys take a look first and find some soul guides that are suitable for you. Until the Soul Fighting Competition begins, you can try out these latest soul guides during the remaining time."

"Thank you, Director." The students who were able to enter the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy naturally had a great interest in soul guides. Seeing these in front of them, they could no longer wait. As the team leader, Ma Rulong took the lead and strode inside.

Lin Jiayi glanced at the students and quietly left the room.

Outside the door, there was already an old man who looked somewhat similar to Ma Rulong standing at the door.

"Director Lin."

"Teacher Ma, I'm going to trouble you again for this Soul Fighting Competition."

The man Lin Jiayi called Teacher Ma was none other than Ma Rulong's father. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, I've led students to participate in the Soul Fighting Competition for several consecutive years, but each time I lost to Shrek Academy. I'm truly unworthy of the academy's trust."

"Teacher Ma, don't blame yourself. Shrek Academy has been famous for a long time and has absorbed many gifted spirit masters. Its strength is indeed impressive. However, the only one that can stand in our way is Shrek Academy. I believe that the time to defeat them is not far away."

"Yeah." Ma Rulong's father nodded, and suddenly looked up at Lin Jiayi as if he had thought of something. "By the way, Director Lin, there's something I want to discuss with you."

"Teacher Ma, please tell me. The hall master has instructed that if it is related to the fighting spirit competition, the academy will fully support it."

"I want to apply for a few more soul guides for this fighting spirit competition."

Lin Jiayi was a little puzzled, "Teacher Ma, isn't this what we are here for today?"

Lin Jiayi said this and looked back.

Although this place does not store all of Mingdetang’s latest research as Lin Jiayi said, there are indeed many soul guides that have never appeared outside, which is enough to show Jing Hongchen’s importance to the Soul Fighting Competition.

Ma Rulong's father lowered his voice slightly and said, "The Shrek Academy students who will be participating in the Fighting Spirit Competition should be the reserve players from last year."

"Although they attack less frequently, I have also recorded some of their martial spirit characteristics. I would like to apply to the academy for a few soul guides specifically tailored to their martial spirits."

Lin Jiayi frowned and thought for a while, "This isn't difficult, but it's been so long since the last Soul Fighting Competition, those students probably have new spirit rings, so it might not be easy to target them."

"That's exactly what I was saying." Ma Rulong's father echoed, "So I want to wait until the Soul Fighting Competition officially begins, and then apply to Shrek Academy for a soul guide based on their performance. Then I'll have to trouble Director Lin to send someone to the Soul Fighting Competition venue."

Lin Jiayi looked up and nodded slowly, "Okay, when I get your news, I will personally apply to the hall master."

"Thank you, Director Lin."

"You're welcome, Teacher Ma. The academy has wanted this victory for a long time." Lin Jiayi glanced at the room behind him and said, "Teacher Ma, please take care of this place. I'll go back and help them find a suitable testing site."

"Well, Director Lin, take care."

Lin Jiayi nodded and turned to leave. He walked through the long corridor and took the elevator back to the ground. As soon as he walked out of the gate of Mingde Hall, he saw a familiar figure.

"Teacher, long time no see."

Lin Jiayi was slightly stunned as he looked at Lin Xiao in front of him. Lin Xiao had only been gone for a few months, but in this short time, he seemed like a completely different person.

Not only did his cultivation level change, but there was also a smile on his face. Although it didn't look much different from before, Lin Jiayi still felt a kind of brightness that he had never felt before.

"When did you come back?"

"I just got back to Mingdu." Lin Xiao took two steps forward with a natural look on his face. "I saw that the teacher was not in the Soul Guidance Laboratory or the experimental area, so I thought I'd come here to take a look."

"Well, okay." Lin Jiayi nodded. "The Soul Fighting Competition is coming soon. I have been busy with this matter recently. I was just preparing to take the disciples participating in the competition to apply for soul guides."

As Lin Jiayi spoke, he walked towards the soul guide test area, and Lin Xiao followed behind him.

"Teacher, do you care much about the results of the Fighting Spirit Competition?"

"Hmm..." Lin Jiayi paused, "I know one match alone doesn't mean much, but ever since the academy participated in the Soul Fighting Competition, we've always been defeated by Shrek Academy. I really want to see a victory."

The next chapter will be later

I saw everyone's comments, because I don't have much saved, so

Finally, thank you all again for your support!

Chapter 129 Knowing each other

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Lin Jiayi gave Lin Xiao a strange look. "I remember you didn't seem very interested in the Fighting Spirit Competition last time."

"I just saw that the teacher was so concerned about the Fighting Spirit Competition, so I was wondering if there was anything I could do to help."

"What a shame." Lin Jiayi shook his head. "You can't participate in the Fighting Spirit Competition with your special ability. Otherwise, you might have had a chance in the last Fighting Spirit Competition."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I can see that you've gained a lot this time. I think even your mood has improved a lot."

Lin Xiao paused when he heard this, "I'm really happy that I've made a breakthrough in my strength."

"It's really worth being happy about. The threshold of level 70 has stopped countless soul masters." Lin Jiayi sighed slightly, "I'll pass the Mingde Hall assessment as soon as possible after I come back this time."

"Although the academy stipulates that anyone with a level three soul master or above can stay in the academy until the age of twenty-five, you can learn more by entering Mingde Hall as early as possible."

"Yeah." Lin Xiao nodded. This time his spirit power level had increased significantly, and he had also obtained a new 100,000-year spirit ring and spirit bone. He also needed to settle down and get familiar with his new power.

As they were talking, they had already reached the soul guide test area. Lin Jiayi stopped and turned around, "I still need to find a suitable testing site for the students participating in the Soul Fighting Competition. You should go back first, get a good night's rest, and come back tomorrow."

"You don't have to worry too much about the Mingde Hall assessment. Mingde Hall's requirements for students are first strength and second attainments in soul guides."

"With your current level of cultivation, it's more than enough. And with the self-propelled soul guide cannon you developed yourself, the hall master won't make things difficult for you."

"I understand, teacher." Lin Xiao nodded, watched Lin Jiayi walk into the soul guide test area, adjusted his expression slightly, and then turned and left.

Time passed quickly and night fell quickly. Lin Xiao took advantage of the cover of night and came to the branch altar as he was familiar with the place. As soon as he entered the underground hall, he saw an old man with a ferocious look sitting in the position where Nightmare Douluo usually sat.

Lin Xiao pressed the mask and quickly took two steps forward.

"I've met the second elder."

"Well, no need to be so polite." Nangong Wan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lin Xiao in front of him, "No need to look, the leader has arranged other things for your teacher, and I will take over what he is responsible for during this period of time."

Lin Xiao was convinced when he heard this, and then he clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Elder."

"Yeah." Nangong Wan nodded again, "What were you responsible for before?"

"Replying to the elder, I previously followed the teacher's arrangement to lurk in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy and try to find a way to enter Mingde Hall."

"Oh?" Nangong Wan, who also dabbled in soul guides, was clearly interested. "What stage have you reached now?"

"I already have the opportunity to take the next Mingde Hall exam. As long as I pass, I can enter Mingde Hall smoothly."

Nangong Wan's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be talking to himself, "Will Jing Hongchen really agree to let his disciples enter Mingde Hall?"

Soon, he turned back to look at Lin Xiao, "Okay, then your mission remains unchanged. I won't assign you any other tasks. You can arrange your own actions."

"Yes, thank you, Second Elder."

"There's more." Nangong Wan said as he pointed to the table beside him. Lin Xiao looked over and saw a piece of paper on it, but the words on it were a little unclear.

"You should be familiar with the Holy Church's business in Mingdu. I don't usually have time to come here, but tonight a disciple reported that you had returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, so I waited for you here."

"Whenever you have something to report or need an eighth spirit ring in the future, come to Xishui League to find me at this address."

"Also, as a Holy Envoy, you are the representative of the elders, and your cultivation has now broken through level 70. You will be in charge of this altar for the time being."

"Yes, Elder, I understand."

Nangong Wan seemed to be very busy. After making a few simple arrangements, he got up and left. Until his figure completely disappeared, a sigh suddenly rose in Lin Xiao's heart.

"The last time you came here, I was still asleep and didn't feel much. Now that I'm here again, I didn't expect to hear so many wailing spirits."

"What a shrewd Holy Spirit Cult! They've done something like this just by touching the edge of necromancy. True necromancy should be the study of souls, not the desecration of the dead."

Lin Xiao had gradually gotten used to Electrolux speaking in his mind. His expression remained unchanged, he just looked up and glanced around.

On the wall nearby, the "holy flag" was hanging there, with countless vengeful spirits hiding inside, emitting bursts of chill.
