Peerless: The Evil Soul Master's Guide to Saving the World

Chapter 174: Q-version Skeleton, Let the World Feel Pain! Zhou Yi's Anger

"Mr. Yi, are you serious?" Xu Cheng was a little excited.

After all, Yi Lao had been planning this for more than half a year, and he just told me that the teaching ceremony could begin...

"Would I ever lie to you?" Alex didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stretched out his skinny fingers and lightly tapped the ground under Xu Cheng's feet. The deep purple pentagram array instantly turned and the latter's breath suddenly disappeared.

There was no one in the office.

The world of the dead.

The sky was pitch black, as if it was the end of the world. The sky was dyed ink-black, or rather, there was no sky in this world at all. There was endless darkness and nothingness all around. Only the land where Xu Cheng stood was safe. Beyond a certain limit, normal creatures would be assimilated into skeletons.

"Is this the plane you rubbed with your hands?" Xu Cheng marveled and looked around.

There was only one dark sun in the sky, emitting a faint purple glow.

Visibility is extremely low.

But fortunately, Xu Cheng’s martial soul is his eyes, so it is no problem to use a night vision goggles.

"It can only be considered a half plane, and there is still a certain gap from the real plane. After all, my original intention of building it was just to study the magic of the dead, or to summon the undead more conveniently in the real world. After thousands of years, the undead in this world have also become a certain trend." Alex turned into a phantom, stood beside Xu Cheng, looked at his own achievements, and explained with satisfaction.

"So that's how it is..." Xu Cheng sighed.

The only one who could easily create a half-plane and say it so easily is Electrolux.

After all, it was Eli. A little bit of everything.

"Regarding inheritance, I believe you are capable of it. After all, as you have seen, a large part of what I have given you is necromancy magic. In your world, this kind of thing is probably considered evil."

Xu Cheng shrugged and said, “I’m an evil soul master, so it’s a suitable profession for me.”

“Hahaha, I forgot who you are,” Alex laughed, “But this is exactly why I decided to pass on this magic to you. The undead are closely connected to death due to their characteristics, which is why many people in this world easily go astray. But you are in the Holy Spirit Church, but you can stick to your original intention. Passing this magic to you can make the best use of it.”

"Regarding the magic of the dead, it mainly studies death. A world, a plane, should have things that are made up of life and death. Only the cycle of life and death can make the whole world run. The world you see is not only filled with death, it also has "vitality", so these skeletons can be "immortal". What's strange is that these dead skeletons need to devour flesh and blood to increase their strength. Perhaps this is the energy conversion between life and death..."

"Is it only by devouring flesh and blood that their strength can be enhanced?" Xu Cheng pondered.

"Not entirely. Their essence is the power of 'death'. As I said before, death and vitality can be transformed into each other. In your spiritual sea, there is a vast life force. Perhaps... you can give it a try." Electrolux stopped there and looked into the distance.

down the hillside.

The horizon gradually broadens.

Countless human-shaped skeletons, some holding bone knives, some holding bone axes, or some holding their arms in one hand, turned around and looked at the two of them.

Then, amidst the shouting and screaming, he rushed over.

But before he rushed to Xu Cheng, he stopped timidly.

Xu Cheng came to a small skeleton with great interest and looked it up and down. It had the strength of a great soul master and was probably the lowest-level skeleton soldier in this undead world.

A simple skeleton frame, short legs and arms, two empty eye sockets with faint ghost lights flickering, and a dull expression, quite like a Q-version skeleton figurine.

As he said this, he patted his forehead.

The latter was momentarily unsteady on his feet, staggered back a few steps, and then maintained his original posture.

"Why aren't you moving?" Xu Cheng was a little stunned.

"They are afraid of you." Alex laughed, "Ordinary skeleton soldiers are fearless. Even if they face a Titled Douluo-level warrior from your world, even if they are slapped into pieces by a palm, they will still rush forward to fight, because they are immortal. But when facing you, I don't know why..."

Xu Cheng also walked to the side of several skeleton soldiers suspiciously and posed for them with great interest. The latter dared not move, but the flames in their eye sockets were dancing, indicating that their "consciousness" had not dissipated, and they had not fallen into a coma.

"This little figurine is amazing..." Xu Cheng looked at his work and nodded with satisfaction.

In my previous life, this little gadget would definitely have a high collection value.

To be honest, even though he had traveled through time for more than ten years and had stayed in the den of evil soul masters like the Holy Spirit Church for a long time, this was the first time he had seen such a pure "breath of death".

As for why I say pure, the feeling this little fellow gives people is completely different from those twisted souls of the Holy Spirit Church with blood on their hands. Instead, he is very pure...

"The control and improvement of necromancy are closely related to your mental power, and you happen to be an expert in this area, so it's the right time to teach you necromancy now." Alex said, nodding lightly to Xu Cheng.

I saw a gray soul ring rising under his feet.

“This is not a spirit ring that performs a certain spirit skill. It is an entire undead magic framework. Based on it, you can perfect all the undead magic that I taught you to remember. It is the core of all undead magic.” Alex explained.

"Of course, the core is still mental power. You can think of mental power as a blue bar, and these things as the skills you usually mutter. With this core structure, you have the authority to use all skills, but whether you can use them depends on whether the blue bar can support it."

"I see..." Xu Cheng nodded slowly.

"Strengthening technique!"

After slowly closing his eyes, he sensed the skeleton soldier in front of him and spoke softly.

The next moment, the size of the skeleton soldier suddenly increased to five times its original size, and was more than five meters tall. It was just a proportional scale, and its size, weight, and bone strength were all improved.

However, the skill can only last for more than ten minutes. After all, it is just an elementary magic. Xu Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Release is also related to mental strength. If it were someone else, it would probably only increase by about two to three times. Even when I was young, my strength was far inferior to yours." Alex nodded slightly.

"Haha, it's just luck." Xu Cheng grinned.

"Okay, stop being cunning. Almost all the knowledge about the undead that I can teach you has already been replicated in your mind. Don't rush to cast high-level magic. Even if your mental power is sufficient, don't try it lightly. There is one more thing." Alex frowned slightly.

"I have been through hundreds of planes, and I have seen countless upgraded systems. However, this is the first time I have seen people in your Douluo Continent rely on spirit rings to upgrade. This also shows the deformity of this system. Other planes do not have similar shackles. It all depends on your own talent. If you can pass that hurdle, you can pass it. If you can't, you will be stuck for life."

Xu Cheng was stunned.

He had also read many books on the theory of soul rings. Many far-sighted people in the original continent had questioned this, but they could never find a solution and could only be carried forward.

From his point of view, it was more like a system set up by an ancient god on a whim, but it did not stand up to scrutiny at all. Combining the context, he was more inclined to believe that it was a struggle between the Beast God and humans, and that humans were "retaliating" against the Beast God because the Beast God was defeated.

Moreover, in the later part of the story, Huo Gua's Spirit Pagoda also went astray due to the intervention of a certain God King. This may also explain something, although Xu Cheng was not optimistic about the Spirit Pagoda itself...

In fact, the most suitable situation should be that humans practice on their own, and after reaching a certain bottleneck, they can condense into soul rings on their own (this is the case in almost any other plane), but Xu Cheng can't do it, so he can only settle for the second best and create artificial soul rings.

After explaining to Alex for a while, the latter also frowned slightly.

The relationship between humans and soul beasts is really complicated...

"Forget it. No matter what, Xiao Cheng and I will try our best to complete the artificial soul ring project. Although the construction period is long, at least we see a lot of hope." Alex said with emotion.

Having said that, he handed over the control of this half of the plane to Xu Cheng and disappeared.

Xu Cheng began to try more advanced undead (summoning) magic.

As skeleton soldiers, skeleton cavalry, skeleton beasts, skeleton dragons and others were summoned one after another.

"Let the world feel pain! (A bag of rice has to support several floors!)"

The repulsive force suddenly erupted, like a nuclear explosion, covering the entire area within the tree. Countless undead creatures were reduced to ashes without any pain, and then condensed again.

Just like the dominant consciousness of this world, Xu Cheng suddenly raised his own status.

Watching the chaos of the entire world, condensing, dissipating, forming a cycle, and then falling into deep thought...

……

"Dean, something happened!"

Du Weilun rushed into Yan Shaozhe's office, panting.

"How can you be so flustered?" Yan Shaozhe wrote a few words in calligraphy with great vigor: The glory of the martial soul system will last forever, then he frowned and looked at Du Weilun.

"I..." The head of the Wuhun Department's throat rolled.

"Okay, go ahead." Yan Shaozhe put down his brush, sat on a comfortable chair beside him, and closed his eyes to rest.

He also trusted Du Weilun. After all, this subordinate was appointed by him personally. Now that he came in a hurry, he must have something important to report.

"Yes," Du Weilun said anxiously, "The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect sent two disciples to the Sun Moon Empire Royal Academy to study the day before yesterday! They are all descendants of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, and there are also several adopted sons of the sect, all of them are eleven or twelve years old, the right age to go to school!"

"What!" Yan Shaozhe was furious and slammed the table. The pearwood table was instantly broken into pieces and slowly fell to the ground, which showed his inner turmoil.

After all, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect has a high status. Although it has declined somewhat in recent years, it is still one of the hidden sects with a deeper foundation in the mainland.

On the mainland, every word and action is watched closely.

Shrek was already in a precarious situation, and what the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect did was tantamount to slapping him in the face. "How dare he!" Yan Shaozhe's face was full of ferocity.

Du Weilun lowered his head and dared not say a word.

After a long time, Yan Shaozhe finally recovered. He looked at Du Weilun and said coldly, "Where are the other people from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in the academy? All those from the inner courtyard will be sent to perform high-risk tasks. As for those from the outer courtyard, they will all be expelled. Get out! We at Shrek don't need such fence-sitters!"

Du Weilun: “…”

After a long while, he said with a sad face: "Dean, just yesterday, I just got the news that almost all the disciples of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in the academy have left the school. The reasons are quite consistent, asking for leave..."

"Damn it!" Yan Shaozhe became more and more angry.

However, the fact that the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect did this also showed that they had cut off completely and were truly determined.

"Okay, okay, Ning Hao, Shrek will remember you." He narrowed his eyes and looked out the window.

Speaking of which, this Ning Hao is his junior.

But now...

"Shrek trained you, but now you are biting back at the academy," Yan Shaozhe looked at Du Weilun coldly, "Remember, from now on, all cooperation between Shrek and Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will be completely severed. Add this to the school motto. As long as I, Yan Shaozhe, am alive, no one from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will be able to set foot in Shrek!"

"Don't you even think about why you deserve this name? You're a bunch of ungrateful wolves..."

"Yes." Du Weilun didn't dare to say anything more and left quickly.

"Sure enough, teacher, you are still old..." Yan Shaozhe looked out the window and murmured.

Originally, he was still a little hesitant about whether to listen to the teacher and condone the actions of Ma Rulong and others.

But now this news made him more determined.

No! Absolutely not!
Even the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had left. If any more trouble happened, the Wuhun Department would be completely ruined and become a laughing stock to the outside world.

The thousand-year honor of Shrek Academy will also become a complete laughing stock.

and so……

……

the other side.

Jing Hongchen's mouth corners were almost cracked from smiling.

He held Ning Hao's hand, not wanting to let go, and patted his chest with his other hand, "Don't worry! These kids are our treasures! Whoever dares to touch the treasures of the academy, I will be the first to kill him!"

"That's good. Your school's reputation has always been reliable, so we naturally believe in it." Ning Hao said with a smile like an old fox.

There is almost no calculation in this.

Even if they are two old foxes.

Ning Hao came to surrender, but he was very humble. As a beneficiary, Jing Hongchen naturally would not be arrogant, so the scene was extremely peaceful.

Only a few youngsters followed behind cautiously, somewhat at a loss as to what to do.

Although Ning Hao had already reminded them that the Royal Academy of the Sun-Moon Empire was not a den of evil and that they should study with peace of mind, as soul guides were the main trend of the future, they were naturally a little nervous as they were in a new environment, especially in the Sun-Moon Empire, which was called the lair of evil soul masters by their brothers and sisters.

"Okay, Lin Jiayi, take the children to arrange dormitories."

Jing Hongchen waved his hand and asked his assistant to handle the problem, while he took Ning Hao to drink and chat happily.

He could already guess how angry Yan Shaozhe must be at the Shrek Academy across the street...

The angrier the other person is, the happier he is.

……

"Is everything ready?" Xiao Hongchen looked around.

Li Yan, Lin Xi, and Ma Rulong all gathered together. Even Ji Juechen, who was a bit withdrawn in the past, stood aside with a sword in his arms.

"No problem, I'll do it to her when she comes to class!" Lin Xi made an OK gesture.

As he said this, he flipped through a stack of records, smacked his lips and sighed, "To be honest, before I came here, my impression of Shrek Academy was that although the character was despicable, at least the academy was strong. But now I see... these termites are really serious. No wonder the people from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect came to our academy a few days ago and showed their cards directly. I'm afraid they have a lot of resentment."

"To be honest, I'm a little hesitant. Should I help Shrek get rid of this cancer? We are from the Sun Moon Empire. Wouldn't it be better for them to degenerate on their own?" Ma Rulong smiled and shook his head. "But after thinking about it, I decided not to be too proud. Shrek Academy has been around for thousands of years and has produced countless geniuses. Although this training system is a bit... outrageous, few people can match its research on martial spirits. Study hard and don't waste this learning opportunity..."

"Ding……"

As the school bell rang.

Everyone followed and came to the square.

At this moment in the square, Zhou Yi’s class was taking place.

That's right, her class only has two things, the first is actual combat, the second is physical training (running and weighted running). She only lets the students do what they want in the first case, letting them fight in the fighting arena or in three-on-three battles, she is not responsible for anything. The second is running, which is her specialty.

As for a lot of soul master knowledge, in fact, it has been learned in the first semester. After all, they are all basics. Every student who can enter Shrek Academy must have memorized it thoroughly and know it by heart.

As for the more profound knowledge that came later, she naturally had no idea.

Run instead.

“Hey, you useless pieces of shit from the Sun-Moon Empire are here too?” Zhou Yi paused when he was about to order the class to run when he saw them appear, and sneered.

In her eyes, these losers must have been unable to withstand the pressure and were forced to come to her to learn.

In this case, it is a good opportunity to suppress them severely. Otherwise, these troublemakers will always find faults and cause trouble for her, which will not be easy to deal with...

"Waste! How dare you, a Soul Emperor, call us waste?" Xiao Hongchen crossed his arms over his chest and smiled contemptuously.

Ji Juechen took a step forward.

The invisible sword intent suddenly erupted, like a small storm, sweeping across half of the playground.

Zhou Yi's face turned pale from the pressure, and he took two steps back before he could barely stand.

In an instant, the entire square's attention was focused on these few people.

Even the class behind Zhou Yi were wearing heavy armor and standing there in a daze.

Someone wanted to help, but was stopped by his companions. He said to himself, "Wait a minute..."

Zhou Yi finally reacted, her face suddenly turning pale and blue. She gritted her teeth and angrily said to Xiao Hongchen and the others, "Are these the so-called students of the Sun Moon Empire? They don't even know the most basic respect for teachers. This is really a disgrace to your academy!"

"We just want to prove that we are not useless, how come..." Xiao Hongchen shrugged and said aggrievedly.

"You!" Zhou Yi was so angry that he felt depressed.

If she had the strength of a Soul Saint and could crush Ji Juechen, she would have rushed up long ago.

But she didn't.

With her Soul Emperor level, she is considered average in Shrek Academy.

What's more, Ji Juechen had just entered the Soul King level in the competition, but he dared to fight against Ma Xiaotao who was in peak condition. Now his soul power has reached level 56, and with the "Sword of Approval" given by Xu Cheng, he is comparable to an ordinary Soul Saint.

Under such suffocating pressure, Zhou Yi couldn't even think of crushing others, let alone being crushed...

"Don't arouse public anger, you're missing the point." Ma Rulong reminded gently.

Xiao Hongchen glanced around the square and saw that there were indeed quite a few students ready to take action.

Although with his personality, he would like to set up a ring and challenge everyone around him.

But his current actions concerned his other companions after all, so he controlled his temper and began to set a trap for Zhou Yi.

"Teacher Zhou Yi, we are not useless, right?" Xiao Hongchen said with a smile.

"..." Zhou Yi stared at him coldly without saying a word.

"Well, I'm sorry, in our eyes, you are a piece of trash. Not only do you have no talent, but you also don't have the slightest ability to teach!"

Xiao Hongchen restrained his smile and spoke word by word.
