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

The soul beast bit down hard, and the mechanical arm in Fan Yu's hand broke with a sound, and the front half fell into the soul beast's belly. In an instant, its eyes turned red visibly.

With a wave of his left arm, Fan Yu's figure flew to the side. Zhang Lexuan's sixth soul skill was broken away, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Roar--"

Another roar, and brown-red light gathered in its mouth.

Zhang Lexuan calmed down her soul power, and before she could dodge, her body fell to the side as if hit by something.

However, it was this collision that allowed her to avoid the soul beast's mouth.

Looking up slightly, Lin Xiao saw that the light of the soul guide propulsion device behind him was slowly going out.

He turned around and glanced around. Fan Yu, a Soul Douluo, flew up into the air and blocked the way for the group. "Brother Shen?"

Lin Xiao didn't have much time to greet him, "Do you have any other energy-type soul guides?"

"Energy-type soul guide?"

"This soul beast is called the Gold Devourer. It feeds on various minerals and cultivates by absorbing the power from metals and minerals. That's why it has such hard fur."

After a few brief introductions, Fan Yu immediately realized that his attack just now seemed to have hit the weak point of the gold-devouring beast's defense, but in fact, it had delivered the food to its mouth.

"The energy-type soul guides I have are not of high level." Fan Yu said, and he also felt that it was a bit outrageous for an eighth-level soul guide to say such a thing, so he explained, "I study fixed-type soul guides. Those kind of soul guides cannot be carried easily."

Lin Xiao glanced down at his feet and sighed, "Then we'll have to find a way to escape. It looks like this mountain below us was once a mineral vein, but now it's become food for this gold-eating beast. We can't do anything to it with just a few of us."

No, there is still a chance.

Lin Xiao's eyes moved slightly.

He had actually arrived earlier. The Gold Devouring Beast was covered in treasures, but with his own strength, he was naturally no match for an 80,000-year-old soul beast.

I originally thought that with Fan Yu, an eighth-level soul master, around, even if it was difficult to deal with the gold-devouring beast, he should be able to inflict some injuries on it.

However, they didn't expect that the people from Shrek Academy didn't recognize this kind of soul beast, and they took the initiative to send the metal into the mouth of the gold-devouring beast, causing it to go into a violent state.

But we can't blame them entirely. After all, this kind of soul beast feeds on minerals and has only appeared on the Sun and Moon Continent before. The fact that there is one here is probably attracted by the mineral veins here.

"Brother Shen, what should we do now?"

"The idea of ​​attacking its weak points is correct, but we can't use the same soul guides as before." Lin Xiao glanced at the few people. "Although low-level soul guides can't penetrate its fur, they can still attract its attention. Leave the attack to me."

"it is good."

Fan Yu nodded, and suddenly more than a dozen gun barrels appeared on his arms, and lights of various colors enveloped the gold-devouring beast.

Although there was no way to penetrate its defense, the huge impact still caused it to retreat continuously.

"Roar—bang—"

The gold-devouring beast had just opened its mouth, and before the roar could come out of its throat, a beam of light had already rushed straight into its throat.

The first soul ring around Lin Xiao was glowing yellow, and the fifth-level soul guide cannon was mounted on his arm. A beam of light connected the muzzle and the gold-devouring beast, mixed with undetectable dark red light.

Although he had only had this soul guide cannon for a short time, at such a close distance, its accuracy was still guaranteed. Besides...

Elsewhere, Fan Yu glanced at Lin Xiao's arm. The power of that fifth-level soul guide was even greater than that of Shrek Academy's products.

Zhang Lexuan on the side finally adjusted her state. Silver light descended from the sky. The gold-devouring beast kept retreating under the joint attack of everyone. Suddenly, it stepped on empty air and fell backwards.

Seeing that the opportunity was rare, several soul rings lit up around Zhang Lexuan.

"Take advantage of this opportunity and run!"

Lin Xiao suddenly spoke up and interrupted Zhang Lexuan's actions.

When Fan Yu heard Lin Xiao's voice, he wrapped his soul power and the figures of several people flew away.

"Thank you Brother Shen for saving me, but why are you here?" The wind was whistling in my ears, and Fan Yu's voice came from above.

"Hey, stop talking. I think you guys also bought the news about that ore, right?"

After Lin Xiao said this, Fan Yu fell silent for a moment. After a long while, he slowly spoke, "Yes, I was too greedy. I originally thought I could find some minerals. Now it seems that I was influenced by that news at the time and my judgment was affected. How could such a coincidence happen?"

"By the way, I haven't asked Brother Shen where he is from yet. Would you consider joining my academy?"

"How many of you are?" Lin Xiao asked knowingly.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce ourselves. We are from Shrek Academy."

Sorry for the late post

Bad news, I have no more drafts saved... But I will still try to update on time!

Bang bang bang!

Chapter 16 He Caitou

"So you guys are from Shrek Academy?" Lin Xiao instantly became "enthusiastic".

Zhang Lexuan on the side glanced at him with a strange look in her eyes, but said nothing.

"Thank you for your kindness. I have also longed to study at Shrek Academy for a long time. Unfortunately, I already have a teacher. It's really..."

"This is such a pity." Fan Yu sighed and didn't insist any further. Shrek Academy's reputation resounded throughout the continent, but its Soul Guidance Department was indeed not outstanding.

Fan Yu's flying speed was quite fast, and he had already returned to the town before. Landing again, the group breathed a sigh of relief. The man from before was no longer at the town entrance. Instead, three figures, two large and one small, were looking around.

"Senior, Teacher Fan!" One of them waved hurriedly after seeing the few people who had just landed. "After we settled those two people, we followed the signs all the way here. We were just wondering where you were going."

"We were just dealing with some other things." Fan Yu's face showed a bit of embarrassment, and he quickly changed the subject, "By the way, who is this child?"

"Oh, this is someone we met on the road." The two men slightly turned sideways, revealing the child behind them. "He said he was being chased by bandits, so we brought him here."

Lin Xiao didn't say anything until he saw the child hiding behind the two Shrek students, and then his eyes changed slightly.

Sure enough, I found it.

After more than half a month, Xu He's clothes were already tattered and his face looked much thinner. Coupled with the haggard look from not getting enough rest and the dust from constantly running around, he no longer looked like the prince he was when he came out of the palace.

There were several noticeable scars on his skin, which his clothes couldn't completely cover. It looked like he had been hunted down. After Xu Jing ascended the throne, he had full access to intelligence about the entire Sun-Moon Empire, so he could find someone much faster than Lin Xiao.

"Kid, what's your name?" Fan Yu squatted down and looked at Xu He in a gentle tone.

"My name is...He Caitou." Xu He paused and stammered out a name.

He Cai Tou? What's that name?

Fan Yu turned around in confusion and exchanged glances with Zhang Lexuan and the others, but he didn't ask any further questions. "He Caitou, where are your parents?"

"They were all killed by bandits."

Fan Yu's expression changed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. He was silent for a long time, and finally raised his hand to touch He Caitou's head, "Then, I will take you back, okay?"

Seeing that He Caitou was still hesitant, Fan Yu smiled again and said, "Don't worry, I'm at Shrek Academy, a very powerful place. Those bandits won't come here."

Hearing the name of Shrek Academy, He Caitou finally let down his guard, took two steps forward, and nodded vigorously. He knew that those who were chasing him would never dare to enter Shrek Academy.

"Teacher Fan?" Han Ruoruo took a step forward and gave him a look.

Seeing this, Fan Yu shook his head slightly, "Now that we've encountered this, we can't just sit back and do nothing."

Lin Xiao has been observing the people in front of him. Judging from Fan Yu's reaction, he probably knows that He Caitou's life experience is not as simple as he said.

But no matter what, after confirming where He Caitou was going, Lin Xiao had no intention of staying here any longer. "Everyone, I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Upon hearing this, Fan Yu hurriedly stood up and said, "Brother Shen, why are you so anxious? We haven't even thanked you for your help before."

"It's just a small favor." Lin Xiao waved his hand. "You are from Shrek Academy. Even without me, that soul beast wouldn't be able to stop you."

"Hey, you can't say that. If it weren't for Brother Shen, the consequences would be unpredictable..."

As Fan Yu was speaking, Lin Xiao had already retreated. "You're welcome, everyone. Goodbye."

"Brother Shen—" Fan Yu called out, watching Lin Xiao's quickly disappearing figure, and finally gave up chasing him. "Forget it, if I continue, it will seem like I'm being petty. I see that Brother Shen is quite knowledgeable despite his young age, and I'm afraid he has an extraordinary background. It's a pity that I didn't chat with him more..."

On the other side, Lin Xiao naturally didn't know about Fan Yu's feelings. Not long after leaving, he turned and flew towards the northwest.

If possible, he would also like to accept the gratitude of the Shrek Academy people with peace of mind, but unfortunately, all of this was built on lies.

If he didn't come forward to take the people from Shrek Academy away from there, they would probably realize that something was wrong soon.

While thinking, Lin Xiao raised his head slightly, as if he was feeling something. After a moment, his speed suddenly increased.

At the foot of the mountain, the area was filled with fallen rocks from the recent battle. A thin figure glanced furtively at the mountain, then leaned against a huge rock and took out more than a dozen various storage soul guides from his arms.

After counting them carefully, he put them back into his arms with satisfaction, then took out a bottle, poured out some light yellow liquid and smeared it on his body.

After making these preparations, the man poked his head out from behind the boulder again and climbed up the mountain using his hands and feet.

However, he hadn't climbed far when a pair of black boots suddenly appeared in his sight. Raising his head slightly, he finally saw the familiar face over the black cloak.

"Sir, why are you here?"

"Isn't this the news you sold me? Why are you so surprised?"

Lin Xiao lowered his head slightly and looked at the man in front of him who sold him the information about the mineral. The seeds of the other shore that had been planted in his body were particularly clear.

"Are you in such a hurry? Are you anxious to see how much of me is left in the soul beast's mouth?" Lin Xiao's eyes swept across the man's arms and he sighed softly.

"Although soul beasts like the Gold Devouring Beast can absorb ores and metals, and have extremely strong attack and defense capabilities, they are also difficult to digest. Therefore, after each meal, they have to sleep for a period of time."

"You must be taking advantage of its slumber to use its urine to mask your own scent, so you can search for remnants on the battlefield. As the saying goes, snakes have their ways, and rats have their ways. I admire you very much. With the cultivation level of a second-ring Great Soul Master, you can actually figure out the movement patterns of an 80,000-year-old soul beast."

"Sir, what are you talking about?" The man wanted to struggle a bit more.

Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head. "Ore doesn't appear in small pieces. If you find scattered ore, there's a very good chance it's an entire mineral vein. You didn't explain these things. Do you expect the buyers to figure it out on their own?"

"But you're a little too eager to convince others. This place is located on the border between two empires. Who wouldn't be cautious and careful to survive here? How could they easily reveal their martial spirit to others?"

Chapter 17 Lies

"Sir, I have no choice but to do this." The man suddenly burst into tears. "My cultivation is low, and I have a wife and children at home to take care of. You also know how cold and bitter it is on the border. If I don't do these things, I... I..."

"Don't beg for mercy yet." Lin Xiao interrupted the man, "I'm only looking for you to clarify something."

"what?"

"I asked you before if you were afraid that I would capture you to search for ore for me. Now I want to say that you were wrong at that time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man hadn't reacted yet when he saw a soul ring suddenly light up around Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao raised his hand and pointed. As his second soul ring lit up, a blood-red vine suddenly emerged from between the man's eyebrows. In the blink of an eye, the man fell straight down.
