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

"Teacher Fan."

Teacher Fan?

Hearing Zhang Lexuan's address, Lin Xiao looked up at the middle-aged man beside him. Being called teacher by Zhang Lexuan, and with the extremely rare surname "Fan", could it be...

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected to find Xu He, but instead meet Fan Yu earlier. It was in the Tianhun Empire that Xu He met Fan Yu, and was brought to Shrek Academy. Could this be the case?

"Thank you, little brother." Fan Yu was tall with broad shoulders. He gave people a mountain-like aura when he stood there, but when he spoke, he became a little gentler.

"You're welcome. Please take a seat."

Fan Yu nodded and sat down opposite Lin Xiao, only looking up at him from time to time. "I don't know what to call you, little brother. I see that you have a soul guide on your wrist. Are you a soul guide?"

"My name is Shen Hao." Lin Xiao casually said a name, "I can only use some simple soul guides. I can't be considered a soul guide."

Lin Xiao did not admit it. The Fan Yu in front of him was an eighth-level soul engineer. If he talked about something related to soul engineers, he would probably be exposed as soon as he opened his mouth.

"That's not the case." Fan Yu shook his head. "In the Sun-Moon Empire, there's a type of soul engineer who specializes in using soul guides rather than making them. However, in the Sky Soul Empire, there are very few soul engineers like you who are so open about it."

Having said this, Zhang Lexuan on the side glanced at him, but Lin Xiao pretended not to see it.

"Alas, many spirit masters don't realize that spirit guides have unique advantages in many aspects, especially fixed-type spirit guides. In war, a high-level fixed-type spirit guide can definitely play a greater role than a high-level spirit master."

Perhaps it was because there weren't many people in Shrek Academy who could talk to Fan Yu about soul guides, but when the topic of soul guides came up, he suddenly became interested. "Why does Brother Shen use soul guides?"

"Well... maybe it's because soul guides can make up for some of the shortcomings of martial souls." Lin Xiao was not lying.

Fan Yu, standing opposite him, nodded repeatedly. "Ah, Brother Shen is the one who sees things clearly. Soul guides can help soul masters, and the right soul masters can better unleash the power of soul guides. Unfortunately, even within the academy... there are many who disagree with this view."

While listening to Fan Yu's words, Lin Xiao finished the food in front of him in a few bites and stood up. "Everyone, I'll take my leave now."

"Brother Shen, please do as you please."

Lin Xiao always felt a little uncomfortable staying with the people from Shrek Academy, so he hurried back upstairs after saying goodbye.

Only after Lin Xiao was completely out of sight did Zhang Lexuan speak softly, "Teacher Fan..."

"I understand you." Fan Yu interrupted her. "You are all extremely talented children in the martial spirit system. You have defeated too many spirit masters. Naturally, you feel that spirit guides are not very effective in the battles of high-level spirit masters. If it weren't for the inspection mission this time, you wouldn't have come out with me."

"But never underestimate soul guides and soul guides." Fan Yu spoke earnestly, but he didn't know how much the two people beside him heard.

"Teacher Fan, are the resources in the academy so tight that you need to come here to buy materials?" Han Ruoruo on the other side felt that the atmosphere was not right and quickly changed the subject.

"No." Fan Yu shook his head. "What you don't know is that the difference in soul guides between the Sun-Moon Empire and the other three empires is not only in soul guides, but also in resources. The Sun-Moon Empire has many mineral veins and is rich in various rare metals that we don't have."

"Furthermore, the Sun-Moon Empire strictly restricts the export of rare metals and minerals. I can only come here and use some less than honorable means to purchase some of these things."

Lin Xiao naturally couldn't hear what the people downstairs said. Not long after he returned to the room, he saw Fan Yu and his three companions leave and walk along the street towards the outside of the town.

After thinking about it, he tidied up the room and followed from a distance.

Although he didn't know whether Fan Yu would find Xu He again this time, he now had a general idea, which was better than trying his luck aimlessly.

Chapter 14 News

The few people from Shrek Academy seemed to have just rested in the town, and after leaving the town, they quickly headed northwest.

Lin Xiao didn't get too close, and stopped after seeing the direction they were leaving. Although Fan Yu was a soul guide, he was still at the eighth level of cultivation, and his perception was far superior to his. The town was fine, but outside, with so few people, it was easy to be exposed.

"Sir, are you interested in rare minerals?"

Lin Xiaogang had been standing at the town entrance for a while when a thin man suddenly approached him stealthily.

Lin Xiao turned his head suddenly, and the man stopped in his tracks. "Sir, please don't get excited. I just came to discuss business with you."

"I'm not interested." Lin Xiao looked at the man. Although there were fluctuations of soul power on him, they were not obvious, and his cultivation level was obviously not very high.

This place is close to the border, so there is a possibility of black market traders secretly selling rare minerals, but considering this man's cultivation level, he probably doesn't have anything good in his hands.

"Your Excellency is joking. I see that you are not from nearby, so you must have a need to come here. Why don't you listen to my news first? It's not too late to refuse later." The man was much older than Lin Xiao, but he always had a flattering smile on his face.

"If you don't believe me, please follow me." As he said that, without waiting for Lin Xiao's consent, he took the lead and walked towards a remote place.

Selling news?

Lin Xiao thought for a moment and followed him two steps forward, but never got too close. The man didn't care. Seeing that there weren't many people around, his expression suddenly changed, and two soul rings, one white and one yellow, rose from his side.

Lin Xiao raised his right hand slightly and looked around vigilantly, but no other figures appeared around.

"Look, sir." The man's smile returned. After releasing his spirit, his already thin cheeks became even thinner, and a few long whiskers sprouted. "To be honest, my spirit is the treasure-hunting rat, capable of discovering ores that ordinary people can't find."

"But as you can see, with my strength, I can't keep anything valuable even if I find it, so I can only sell this information."

Lin Xiao took a look and saw a thin, light golden shadow standing at the man's feet. It was indeed a rat, but he was not sure whether it was a treasure-hunting rat.

"With your abilities, why don't you go and serve the major empires? With your abilities, you would be very popular, right?"

"My Lord, you're joking." The man put away his spirit and glanced furtively in both directions. "With such a vast territory, the empires can recruit many spirit masters with spirits like mine. Why would they be interested in me, whose cultivation level can't even break through level 30?"

"Then, since you've exposed your martial spirit like this, aren't you afraid that I'll capture you and search for ores for me?"

"How could that be?" The man smiled awkwardly. "You're obviously not one of those evil spirit masters, so you wouldn't do such a thing."

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes, which made the man feel a little nervous.

"Okay, tell me your price." Lin Xiao said, but his eyes were already looking elsewhere.

Hearing this, the man rubbed his hands secretly and said, "Sir, only ten gold soul coins are needed."

"so cheap?"

Lin Xiao looked at the man again. Since he was selling this information, he should know the price of rare minerals. How could such information be sold for only ten gold soul coins?

The man seemed to realize that his asking price was a bit strange. He moved a little closer, his expression becoming even more embarrassed. "Sir, I only vaguely sensed that there was something there. I'm not sure what it was exactly."

"It's most likely a rare mineral, or it could be something else. If I ask for too high a price, I'm afraid you'll give me trouble later, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao turned around and walked away without stopping. This business of getting something for nothing had actually happened to him, an evil soul master.

"Sir, please stay. The place I mentioned is not far from here, just northwest. If you can't find anything good, come back and ask me for a refund, okay?"

Lin Xiao suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at the man, a gleam in his eyes, "How many people have you sold this information to?"

The man seemed to have been hit on the heart of the matter. He hurriedly avoided Lin Xiao's gaze and was silent for a moment. Then he stammered, "Not... not much. You are the second guest this morning..."

"Teacher Fan, the place that person mentioned should be around here."

Upon hearing this, Fan Yu stopped and looked around. There weren't many trees around, and in the distance, there were only endless mountains. There wasn't anything special about it.

"Let's keep looking. There's no way a single piece of ore would appear. If we can find one, it's bound to be a significant resource. The academy is already short on materials, so if we find something, it could alleviate a lot of problems."

Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo didn't say anything else and searched the surroundings carefully.

However, no ore was found, and a roar suddenly came from under his feet.

The mud under Zhang Lexuan's feet suddenly rolled down in one direction. Seeing that her body was about to fall with it, a long golden rope was wrapped around her waist and pulled her out.

"careful!"

Fan Yu took the lead, with eight soul rings, two yellow, two purple and four black, surrounding him. With his right hand raised high, a device similar to a mechanical arm had extended out.

In the blink of an eye, a cave appeared where Zhang Lexuan had just stood, and the surrounding gravel and soil continued to fall into the cave.

"Roar--"

There was another roar, much clearer than before. Accompanied by a rumbling sound, a tall figure appeared in front of the three people.

It looks like a brown bear, but its mouth is much longer than that of a bear. Its hair stands up all over its body, giving off a metallic luster in the sun. Its height of nearly ten meters makes it extremely oppressive just by standing there.

"Teacher Fan, what kind of soul beast is this?"

"I haven't seen it either." Fan Yu shook his head, secretly shocked.

Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo are both outstanding disciples of the Martial Soul Department. They will participate in the Fighting Soul Competition next year. Even they don’t recognize the soul beast in front of them... I’m afraid this soul beast is not included in the records of Shrek Academy.

Although I don't know it, the cultivation level of most soul beasts can be seen from their body shape. The soul beast in front of me is nearly ten meters tall, so I'm afraid its strength should not be underestimated.

"We should have entered its territory, be careful." After giving a warning, the soul ring around Fan Yu shone, and he rushed forward actively. The mechanical arm on his right shoulder also lit up, and streams of air spurted out from the nozzle, carrying his right arm forward.

"when--"

A sharp sound rang in his ears, and Fan Yu took a few steps back, looking at the soul beast in front of him in shock and doubt. The palm just now was like hitting metal.

Chapter 15 Gold Swallowing Beast

Looking at the soul beast in front of him that looked like a brown bear, its forelimbs were raised high, and the hair on the outside of its left arm was tightly arranged together, like a metal shield.

Fan Yu, an eighth-level soul engineer, with the help of his mechanical arm, slapped the soul beast in front of him with his palm. The soul beast did not move at all, but instead seemed to be enraged, staggering towards the few people.

Heavy footsteps landed on the ground one after another, the earth kept shaking, the ground around Fan Yu and the others kept collapsing, and caves appeared one after another.

"What's going on? Is the mountain beneath our feet empty?"

"Teacher Fan, this soul beast has extremely strong defenses, and ordinary attacks will not work. You have the highest cultivation level here, so Sister Ruoruo and I will create opportunities for you to see if we can attack its weak defenses."

Fan Yu glanced back at Zhang Lexuan. The soul beast before him had probably cultivated for 70,000 to 80,000 years, but Zhang Lexuan remained unfazed, calmly analyzing the situation.

As expected of a disciple of the Wuhun Department. Fan Yu didn't hesitate, "Okay, Le Xuan, you will be in charge here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sixth soul ring around Zhang Lexuan suddenly flew into the air. The sky suddenly darkened for a moment, and a full moon appeared. Then the middle instantly turned black, and a bright ring fell from the sky.

This unknown soul beast could even withstand Fan Yu's attack, so it was naturally not afraid of the soul skills of a Soul Emperor. Its metallic hair blocked all the force.

However, when the soul beast moved forward again, it found that it was bound by the halo.

"Sister Ruoruo."

Han Ruoruo understood, and a long golden rope flew out, binding the soul beast's arms.

For a moment, her face turned ugly, "I can't hold on for much longer."

No, it wasn't that it couldn't hold on for long. In just a moment, the soul beast broke free.

However, Fan Yu on the side had already seen Zhang Lexuan's plan. In this brief moment, the sixth soul ring around him lit up, and the mechanical arm on his right hand had already reached into the mouth of the soul beast.

"Don't--"

A voice sounded from a distance, but it was too late.
