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

In Lin Xiao's room, he didn't know what happened after the man sneaked into the hotel. He just saw that Zhongli Wu's expression changed slightly, as if... he smiled?

Before Lin Xiao could see clearly, his figure suddenly flashed and disappeared in the room. The next moment, a loud shout came from outside the window.

"Who dares to break into the Star King Hotel?"

As the voice spread far away, a shrill alarm sounded in the hotel instantly, and the light of the lighting soul guide lit up from everywhere, illuminating the entire hotel.

The Xingluo Empire specially reserved the Star Emperor Hotel as accommodation for the contestants, and naturally attached great importance to the protection of this place. After just a few breaths, several streams of light rose from the palace and headed towards the hotel.

"Is this how the Xingluo Empire treats me, the Shrek Academy disciples?"

Seeing the current situation, Xuan Zi didn't know how he was discovered, but he no longer hid. He rushed out of the hotel with Cheng Gang and flew into the air.

"Is it really unacceptable that Shrek Academy is harboring a hundred thousand year old soul beast?"

"Who?" Xuan Zi stood in mid-air and looked around. "Who is this person who hides his head and shows his tail? Why doesn't he dare to show himself?"

Just as the auras of several Titled Douluo rose, the sound of orderly footsteps also rang out on the street. The army of the Star Luo Empire had surrounded the entire Star Emperor Hotel.

All the students heard the sound and rushed out of the room to the corridor. Everyone from Shrek Academy gathered at the door of Huo Yuhao's room.

"Senior..."

When Ma Rulong saw Lin Xiao, he hurried over, his eyes constantly scanning outside the hotel with a bit of fear on his face.

"Are our students okay?"

"I'll ask them to gather here." Ma Rulong ran to the side again after hearing that.

Lin Xiao took the opportunity to look in the direction of Shrek Academy. Just as everyone gathered together, there was a "crash" and the window on the top floor was suddenly shattered. A figure rushed straight towards Huo Yuhao.

"Anyone can kill a hundred thousand year old soul beast!" the man shouted, extending his right arm.

However, Lin Xiao was very familiar with this figure. This was clearly the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo. The aura of the hundred thousand year soul beast was originally released by him. He was definitely not coming for Huo Yuhao.

"Let's see who dares to take action!"

Although the people who had just rushed out of the room had not yet fully understood the situation, when they saw someone heading towards Huo Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao had already taken the initiative to attack, and the phoenix flame burst out with a dazzling light that filled the entire corridor.

At this moment, the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo who was grabbing Huo Yuhao suddenly turned around, and something in his hand silently merged into the flames.

"boom--"

The already fierce flames intensified again, and the hotel corridor turned black in an instant. Ma Xiaotao's face suddenly changed, and she let out a painful roar. The bright flames instantly turned into mottled colors.

"Senior Xiaotao!"

Huo Yuhao seemed to realize something, and he protected his body with the ultimate ice and ran quickly towards Ma Xiaotao.

Under the cover of the flames, no one noticed Wanhun Douluo's expression. Only Lin Xiao clearly saw the smile rising at the corner of his mouth.

Chapter 142 Temporary Calm down

He really wasn't here for the hundred thousand year soul beast.

Whether it was Zhongli Wu or Wanhun Douluo, the hundred thousand year soul beast was just an excuse for Shrek Academy to relax its vigilance, and the real purpose was to test Ma Xiaotao.

I don’t know what method Wanhun Douluo used, but the evil spirit in Ma Xiaotao completely erupted. The rising flame was no longer as bright as before, and was turning into dark red.

If the performance in the arena during the day only made the Holy Spirit Church somewhat suspicious, then at this moment, Zhongli Wu and Wanhun Douluo were already convinced that Ma Xiaotao was the saint they had been searching for.

"Senior!"

Huo Yuhao shouted again, trying to wake Ma Xiaotao up, and the extreme ice power in his body covered Ma Xiaotao.

Under the sudden extreme heat and cold, the walls of the hotel suddenly cracked and cracks appeared. Other teams staying in the hotel also ran out of the rooms to see what was happening on the top floor.

"Senior."

The other people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy have gathered and come to Lin Xiao's side.

He withdrew his gaze from Ma Xiaotao and looked outside the hotel, where there were still several powerful auras lingering in the air.

Lin Xiao quickly turned around and said, "Let's go, let's get out of here."

Just as the group quickly rushed downstairs, with the tremendous soul power erupting from the top floor, the top floor of the Star Emperor Hotel exploded completely with a loud bang, and countless debris and rocks fell down.

Fortunately, there were many soul masters downstairs, which prevented greater damage.

Xuan Zi, who was led away, immediately realized that something was wrong. He ignored the obstruction of several national defenders of the Xingluo Empire, roared, and landed heavily where everyone from Shrek Academy was.

Amidst the swirling dust, Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao were already sitting cross-legged on the ground, and the power of extreme ice was directed towards Ma Xiaotao without reservation.

Ma Xiaotao still retained some rationality and cooperated with Huo Yuhao to try her best to suppress the evil fire in her body.

As for the Wanhun Douluo who had just taken action, he had already disappeared without a trace.

Several Star Luo Empire's Protector Douluo also noticed something was wrong. They seemed to have misunderstood something and thought that the people they stopped seemed to be from Shrek Academy.

Looking around, I couldn't seem to find the person who had just spoken.

"what happened?"

Xuan Zi saw Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao standing beside him, his face filled with anger.

"Master Xuan, someone was about to attack Yuhao just now. Xiaotao was anxious and the evil fire in her body broke out again." Wang Yan hurriedly took two steps forward.

"Where's the one who did it?"

Wang Yan glanced around and said, "It disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"Senior, what on earth is going on?"

Feeling the fluctuations of soul power in the air, Ma Rulong looked at Lin Xiao with lingering fear.

"I don't know either." Lin Xiao shook his head.

While the two were talking, footsteps were heard on the street beside them. The light of the lighting soul guide illuminated the entire street. The Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei was rushing towards the Xinghuang Hotel with his guards.

Such an accident happened in the Fighting Spirit Competition, and even as the emperor, he became a little restless.

As soon as he walked downstairs, two figures appeared beside him and whispered something to him.

Xu Jiawei's face turned visibly ugly. He was about to open his mouth to scold, but he remembered something and kept the words of scolding in his mouth.

He adjusted his expression and looked up at the building.

"Excuse me, are you a senior from Shrek Academy? Please come downstairs and have a chat."

When Xuan Zi heard Xu Jiawei's voice, he wanted to ignore it, but then he thought about it and realized that the left arm bone of the Ice Scorpion that Xu Jiawei gave them two days ago was still in his hand. In the end, he snorted coldly and walked downstairs with everyone from Shrek Academy.

"I'm sorry that this happened at the Star Emperor Hotel. It's our fault that the Star Luo Empire failed to provide adequate protection. We will compensate the teams that stayed in the hotel later."

"As for the specific situation, we will give you a reply soon after we have investigated it thoroughly."

"There just was a collapse here. It's not safe. Everyone else should disperse quickly."

Xu Jiawei arranged everything in just a few words. The soldiers on the side walked to the periphery to evacuate the surrounding crowd, and the team members in the hotel also quieted down.

After doing all this, Xu Jiawei took two steps forward and asked, "Is this Senior Taotie from Shrek Academy? I wonder what just happened here?"

Although Xuan Zi's brows were gloomy, he still responded for Xu Jiawei's sake, "That's me. As for what just happened, your Nation Protector Douluo should know better than me."

Xu Jiawei's face turned serious, and he looked around, his gaze finally stopping on Cheng Gang, who had a grim expression on his face.

Seeing everyone's gaze focused on him, Cheng Gang lowered his head slightly and whispered in defense, "Your Majesty, a few days ago, a disciple from Shrek Academy displayed the aura of a hundred thousand year old soul beast on the ring. I suspect..."

"Okay." Xu Jiawei interrupted him.

Although his tone was not harsh, Cheng Gang was a Titled Douluo after all, and Xu Jiawei was obviously a little angry when he spoke to him like this.

"The Shrek Academy is full of experts, and it's the number one soul master academy in Douluo Continent. Can't they tell the difference between a human and a soul beast?"

"I've heard the rumors you mentioned. It's clear someone is spreading them. I didn't expect that you, a Nation Protector Douluo, couldn't tell the difference."

Cheng Gang's face turned blue and red, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Seeing this, Xu Jiawei turned to look at Xuan Zi and said, "I'm truly sorry. It was my negligence that allowed rumors to spread, leading to this misunderstanding."

Xuan Zi glanced at Xu Jiawei, knowing that by saying this, he was putting the responsibility on him and didn't want him to pursue the matter further.

After all, he had already reprimanded him in public. Cheng Gang was a Titled Douluo after all, and he was originally trying to deal with the soul beast instead of deliberately offending Shrek Academy. It was impossible for Xu Jiawei to really impose any substantial punishment on him for this matter.

"How about this? Tomorrow I will issue a document to clarify this matter, using the Xingluo Empire as a guarantee to prevent such a thing from happening again. I will also compensate you for the shock you suffered tonight."

Xuan Zi gradually calmed down and said in a low voice, "There's no need for compensation. It's because I haven't shown up that you misunderstood me."

"At this point, I can tell you that this disciple of mine, Shrek, possesses twin martial spirits. It's absolutely impossible for him to be a hundred thousand year old spirit beast transformed into a human. After tonight, no one is allowed to disturb them about this matter again."

"That's as it should be." Xu Jiawei smiled, "Why don't we invite Senior Taotie to come sit in the palace?"

"No need. I have to stay here to prevent what happened just now from happening again."

Xu Jiawei didn't seem to understand the hidden meaning of Xuanzi's words. He just smiled and nodded slightly, then looked at the people from other colleges.

"Tonight's accident was a misunderstanding, but it's no longer suitable to stay here. Someone will take you to another place to stay later. Please rest assured."

Chapter 143 The decisive battle is coming

After saying hello to Xuan Zi again, Xu Jiawei led his men away.

"Your Majesty." Cheng Gang walked to Xu Jiawei and spoke softly.

Xu Jiawei raised his hand and stopped Cheng Gang from continuing.

"I put a lot of effort into building a good relationship with Shrek Academy, but it almost went to waste because of this incident."

"Your Majesty, Shrek Academy has never been involved in the affairs of the three great empires. If we make friends with them, I'm afraid..."

"Of course it's not because of these things, but because of the Sun-Moon Empire." Xu Jiawei sighed, "Ever since the incident with the Sun-Moon Empire's royal family a few years ago, there have been more and more border movements. I'm afraid that by then it will be too late to show goodwill to Shrek Academy."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Gang glanced back in the direction of the Starlight Hotel. "Your Majesty, could the news about the 100,000-year soul beast have been spread by someone from the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy?"

"If something happens to a Shrek Academy disciple here, they will be the ones who benefit the most. Not only will they weaken a strong opponent in the Fighting Spirit Tournament, but they can also cause discord between us and Shrek Academy."

"If it were really them, it would be much easier." Xu Jiawei frowned. "However... they probably don't have the extra time to plan this. I'm afraid there might be enemies we don't know about after this."

"We can't just let this go. Take your people and investigate the city to see where the rumor originated."

"Yes."

Downstairs at the Xinghuang Hotel, someone came to find Xu Jiawei not long after he left.

"His Majesty has already arranged accommodations for you all. Please follow me."
