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

Chapter 216 Xu Cheng: What if I remain a hypocrite for my entire life?
early morning.

When the first ray of sunlight shines into the house.

The light reflected on Zhang Lexuan's profile woke up the beautiful woman who was sleeping soundly in a strange posture on the bed. Her long eyelashes twitched slightly, and after blinking twice, she slowly opened her beautiful eyes. Her light blue eyes swept in front of her, and she saw that the figure was still there. A familiar breath came from her nose, and her heart slowly calmed down.

It seems that as long as he is there, it is home.

Zhang Lexuan stretched gently, but suddenly there was a clanging sound of iron pieces colliding.

The beauty's eyes suddenly narrowed, and she looked to her right, only to see a pair of black handcuffs locked on her fair wrist, with the other end hanging on the head of the bed. Every time she moved, there was a sound of iron sheets colliding.

In an instant, the beautiful woman's beautiful face was tinged with a blush. She let out a light scolding and looked at Xu Cheng, who was still sleeping soundly beside her, with a resentful look, and pushed him.

"Look at what you've done~"

"Woo... huh." Xu Cheng stretched lazily, turned over subconsciously, hugged the beauty's slender waist, and yawned.

The dirty hands slid across the beauty's skin as white as porcelain jade, and finally landed on her belly. He pinched the soft flesh with a look of enjoyment on his face.

"Untie it quickly!" Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly, and angrily stretched out her other hand to gently pat Xu Cheng's back.

"Isn't this your favorite thing?" Xu Cheng turned his head, looked at the beauty's profile and smiled.

"What do you mean by my favorite thing!" Zhang Lexuan widened her beautiful eyes.

"It's a story about being imprisoned in a secret room, and then being captured by evil forces because of something you had to do. Although you were severely tortured by the evil forces, you remained unyielding..." Xu Cheng said with a smile.

As he spoke, he looked down at the ground.

There were messy tools and torn clothes everywhere.

"Do you want me to help you recall last night's events again?" Xu Cheng turned over and pressed on her.

Zhang Lexuan's pretty face instantly turned red, "What, what are you doing! The sun is out... wuwu..."

"Hehehe, show your indomitable spirit. It so happens that the handcuffs haven't been taken off yet. Besides, you asked me to wake up, isn't it expecting this? I don't believe that with your strength, you can't remove a small pair of iron handcuffs." Xu Cheng walked forward with a wicked smile.

Soon, a faint whimpering sound was heard in the room again.

Pain and joy coexist.

……

"Good fellow... Blue Steel Shadow."

Xu Cheng's eyes narrowed and he sighed.

In the training ground, Jiang Nannan was seen shuttling between various trial instruments like orange lightning.

"Waist bow!"

The girl let out a light cry, and clamped the neck of the dummy tumbler with her slender long legs. She suddenly hugged and threw it, spinning her body 360 degrees. Her upper body flipped first, and then her resilient waist moved as if in slow motion, accumulating strength, and then driving her lower body.

The yellow soul ring and the roar appeared at the same time.

The dummy tumbler that could withstand a full-strength attack from an ordinary Soul Master broke into pieces the moment it touched the ground, and then turned into several pieces of broken metal that shot in all directions.

Until it was stopped by the surrounding soul guide shield.

What surprised Xu Cheng the most was his feet. His original shoes were replaced by a long blade-like object, which became increasingly sharp from the toes to the bottom, flashing a cold light.

And unlike Qing Gangying's "full machinery", Jiang Nannan wore shoes on her feet, which made her already slender legs look even longer. In addition, the soul guide shields on her wrists and the thin but not bulky iron armor on her waist made the girl seem like a different person.

Moreover, with Xu Cheng's eyesight, he could naturally see that although the waist bow did not seem to use this set of equipment (the head was clamped by the legs), in fact, it enhanced the ordinary hundred-year soul skill of the waist bow to the level of at least a thousand years.

Level five soul guide?
No, it is an adaptive soul guide device, the upper limit of which is level nine, and it will be adjusted according to the strength of the user.

This type of soul guide is relatively rare.

After all, the cost-effectiveness of making such a ninth-level soul guide is indeed a bit low. Unless it is a meaningful gift from an elder to a younger generation, it will be so time-consuming and labor-intensive to make.

"Hehe, this was made by grandpa. Currently, grandpa is the best at making mature adaptive soul guides. Even Master Kong is far behind him in this regard." Meng Hongchen laughed at the side.

"But speaking of which, it was you, Makoto, who repaired the dagger back then~"

"Yes, each specialized field is different. Soul guides are not of a single type, but of many kinds. Everyone has his or her own main research direction. If there is time in the future, we can divide the division into more departments to make the soul guides more refined." Xu Cheng sighed as he looked at the beautiful bunny that moved like thunder.

The teacher is better at mechas, including the large mechas of the past. Compared with other soul guides, this type of project tests comprehensive performance more. The first and second generations that have been developed now are all the tone set by the teacher at that time.

Ye Yulin has made great achievements in attack range. His soul guides have always emphasized range. His philosophy is that soul guides should hide in the distance. As fragile mages and shooters, they should not rush forward. In recent years, the core of the formations of various soul guides: distance runes, are all his work.

As for Master Jing, he is more specialized in defense...

These big guys should give full play to their respective fields to enable Mingdetang to truly develop.

"Hey, can you please not be so serious? You're thinking about the development of the empire all day long. Why don't you just look at this soul guide exoskeleton designed by me personally? Isn't it cool?" Meng Hongchen pouted.

"Yes, he is indeed very handsome." Xu Cheng agreed with a smile.

This set of soul guides simply hit his aesthetic point, with gorgeous arcs and sharp blades flashing with cold light. Every time it passed by, it left a deep mark on these experimental targets.

It's like a close look.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Meng Hongchen chuckled.

"She's quite beautiful. I didn't expect that Nan Nan, who looks so weak, would have a different kind of beauty with the blessing of this set of soul guides." Xu Cheng coughed lightly twice.

“Yeah, it’s a pity that Tang Ya, Yu Hao and I are all long-range rather than close combat. We are all in the same combat mode, carrying long-range soul guide cannons to attack targets, rather than this kind of diversified combination of soul guides. Only Sister Nana can change her own weapons, which is more distinctive…” Meng Hongchen sighed.

Looking at the heroic and graceful Jiang Nannan, she felt a little envious for a moment.

After all, this style is unique, unlike the stereotyped long-range soul guide cannon. Not to mention a soul guide, an ordinary soul master can use it after a short training.

"Okay, stop being envious. Your ice element also has its own story." Xu Cheng smiled and touched Meng Hongchen's hair.

"The ice element can also be integrated into soul guides?!!" Meng Hongchen's eyes lit up.

"Of course." Xu Cheng nodded.

The energy source, generation and transformation of Douluo Continent are completely different from those of the former Blue Star.

The latter has a fixed physical system. If you want to deal damage, you can only rely on strict system construction and realize damage conversion within this framework.

But the former is different.

Similar to fire, ice, earth, etc., they are all generated by something called "soul power". In other words, soul power can be transformed into anything. As long as the corresponding "channel", that is, the "rune" in the soul guide core, is found, a soul guide device can be created.

"Wait, Master Jing is busy reinforcing the city wall recently, so don't bother him, just leave it to me." Xu Cheng watched the field flipping and flashing, with an orange figure reflected in his eyes, and he seemed to be thinking about something in the flickering light and shadow. "Oh, I almost forgot, Brother Cheng, your soul guidance skills seem to be no less than anyone in the younger generation of Sun and Moon..." Meng Hongchen stuck out his tongue playfully.

“Hehe…” Xu Cheng smiled.

He is not inactive, he just rarely shows it.

After all, he knew clearly in his heart that in Douluo Continent, one's own strength was the real hardware, and the so-called power was nothing but floating clouds. Only when you truly reached the level of a god, would you be the real master.

That's why he is wary of Tang San now...

If the opponent really fights to the death, it will be easy to kill him.

Only after truly taking over power from Xu Zhen did one feel how much of a headache and trouble it was.

"What about the moon?" Zhang Lexuan suddenly interrupted.

"Is there a soul guide unique to the moon? I want something unique."

"Yes, don't worry, we have them all!" Xu Cheng's mouth twitched.

Sure enough, the blessing of having many wives is not so easy to enjoy...

……

Holy Spirit Church.

Headquarters.

It is located in a cave at an unknown depth underground.

Zhongli Wu sat at the first seat in the empty hall, holding his chin with a sad face and sighing.

Not long ago, he wanted to use Yan Feng to suppress Xu Cheng's popularity, but he didn't expect that he would lose more than he gained. While being shown off by Xu Cheng, Yan Feng, who he had the highest hopes for and had been secretly cultivating to balance Xu Cheng, was also wiped out.

The bone dragon that was nearly a kilometer long is still unforgettable to him.

"That boy is obviously a good man hiding among the evil soul masters. How could he control such power? It's the purest and most evil smell. Even I, the leader of the Holy Spirit Church, have never seen it before..."

Zhongli Wu frowned slightly and tapped the handle with his fingertips.

They could get along harmoniously in the past because he claimed to see through Xu Cheng. No matter how much the kid jumped around, he was still in the palm of his hand. But when the bone dragon appeared, he was the most confused.

"The son of the Holy Spirit Church that I had the highest hopes for died at his hands. It was reasonable and logical. On the contrary, it made his prestige within the Holy Spirit Church unprecedentedly high..." He pondered, his face looking a little grim.

"Why panic?"

A cold voice sounded in the empty hall.

Zhongli Wu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes narrowed, and he quickly stood up and said respectfully: "Mother!"

At the entrance of the hall, a figure covered in a black robe walked in slowly. His aura was unpredictable. He stepped lightly on the ground, bringing with him a hint of dark evil spirit.

Zhongli Wu lowered his head and remained bent over.

Don't dare relax for a moment.

"Haha, you and I are mother and son, why should we be so unfamiliar with each other." Ye Xishui flashed and was already in front of Zhongli Wu. She seemed not to see the latter and slowly walked past him, then sat in the seat where Zhongli Wu had just sat, crossed her legs, and looked leisurely.

"There is an order of respect and inferiority, mother is the elder, and etiquette cannot be abolished." Zhongli Wu turned around, bowed, and then stood respectfully to one side.

"I know what you are worried about..." Ye Xishui held up her face and spoke lightly.

"But you're worrying too much."

"What do you mean, mother?" Zhongli Wu was stunned.

"Haha, do you think Xu Cheng, who has pure evil intentions, can be a kind person?" Ye Xishui sneered.

"This..." Zhongli Wu's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly realized. "Mother means..."

"I was there that day too. I was shocked by the pure evil power. It shows that the boy is a born bad guy. He yearns for destruction and damage, but he insists on pretending to be a good person. Why do you think that is?" Ye Xishui said.

"Could it be that he is also planning something?" Zhongli Wu suddenly realized.

“Haha, the ones who are harder to defend against than evil soul masters like us are righteous soul masters. The ones who are harder to defend against than righteous soul masters are the so-called righteous soul masters hiding in the group of evil soul masters…” Ye Xishui stretched out his left hand, appreciatively looking at the long, inky nails, then gently put it down and looked at Zhongli Wu meaningfully.

"Now, the righteous regard him as an outlier among evil soul masters, and truly accept and recognize him. The evil soul masters also regard him as one of their own and completely recognize him. If he truly reveals his 'evil' side in the future, who will react?"

"Huh... Mother's insight is profound. I have learned a lot!" Zhongli Wu was deeply shocked.

This view is indeed logically coherent and makes sense.

Otherwise, if Xu Cheng was devoted to goodness, why did he join the Holy Spirit Church? If he joined the Holy Spirit Church, why did he do some so-called "good" and go through so much trouble among evil people?

He is hypocritical. Everything he does is just for the final result...

"The result may be that the entire Ming capital will be buried with him, or the scope may be expanded to the entire continent. After all, he also said that within three years of his accession to the throne, a continent-wide war will break out. Xu Zhen is old, and his life span is short, which means..." Ye Xishui smiled lightly.

"Xu Cheng is planning a grand play to conceal the truth from the world, and although we may seem like chess players, we are actually part of his chess pieces."

"So that's it!" Zhongli Wu said excitedly.

"Then mother, we..."

"Go along with him. Since he is pure evil, the number of people who will die in the future will not be just one or two, but tens or hundreds of thousands. With his handiwork, it will naturally be in the hundreds of millions. By then, we only need to follow behind him to absorb souls and enhance our own strength."

"No wonder, no wonder I kept urging him, but he kept making excuses. So that's why!" Zhongli Wu said happily.

"I'm glad to know..." Ye Xishui nodded slightly and fiddled with her nails as if she had a new manicure.

"But Yan Feng, Lu Genggeng and other new Holy Spirit Church talents are dead. Our Holy Spirit Church also needs new bloodlines. Go find some and bring them back to train."

"What do you mean?" Zhongli Wu grinned.

"Where else can it be? Now that Moon has declined and the interior is empty, it must be... Shrek Academy..."

……

The Royal Academy of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Xu Cheng suddenly sneezed.

Looking around, he wondered to himself, "Who is talking about me?"
