Douluo Dragon King: My strategy system is not right

Chapter 29 Devouring the Evil Soul Master

Donghai City is adjacent to the vast ocean. From time to time, the sea breeze with a salty smell will quietly pass through every corner of Donghai College.

The sea breeze blew gently, ruffling the leaves of the tall coconut trees in the college, making a crisp "rustling" sound.

The boys and girls of Class Zero walked out of the classroom and greeted the morning light.

Zhang Yangzi sighed, "The scenery in our college has always been pretty good."

"Indeed, we were just busy studying and practicing, and didn't experience it properly." Wang Jinxi agreed and nodded.

If Wu Changkong hadn't given them a day off today, they would never have experienced it together so seriously.

After coming out, several people stood with their backs to the sun, but Lin Ci did not. He turned slightly to look at the bright sun in the sky.

At this moment, the soul power in his body almost reached its peak, and he could feel an endless stream of power pouring into his body.

The light element is not just a light element.

Without a doubt, they were now a complete zero class. This was also an important experience in a young man's life.

Wang Jinxi and the others were chatting animatedly, planning what to do together next. Gu Yueqing stood aside, a cold figure with a deep gaze. Lin Ci stood slightly behind them, his back equally blurry.

Many years later, these people may never be able to get together again, as they are scattered all over the world.

Perhaps many of them are not pure now. There is a high and mighty silver dragon, but it has been planned until now; there is someone who carries the title of "Son of God", but in the end he is just a chess piece; there is the last "life" of a young man who has been forgotten by history.

But no matter what, at this moment, they are all young people, full of vigor and vitality!
……

Even in the daytime, even when the sun is shining, there is always some darkness rotting in the corners of the gutter.

Even the prosperous East Sea City was not immune to the downtrodden people who lingered there. In the slightly more remote old town areas, there were also homeless people in the alleys, wrapped in tattered, smelly blankets, finding shelter in corners or under eaves.

Even though the Douluo Continent had become a federation and no longer had an imperial system, the status of people was still not as equal as one might imagine. Without going into detail, just comparing spirit masters to ordinary people, the federal government would still pay more attention to these spirit masters than ordinary people.

Ordinary people who couldn't even awaken their soul power relied on their brains and basic technical skills to make a living. Some people couldn't find jobs for various reasons. In fact, the vast majority of good jobs and welfare positions were held by soul masters, making it difficult for ordinary people to find suitable work.

Therefore, homeless people are common.

Especially in this relatively backward old town.

The night was as dark as ink, so thick it couldn't be dissolved. The alleys of the old city were completely shrouded in darkness, and the few dim streetlights that usually lit up seemed to have been swallowed up by the darkness, flickering on and off.

An elderly homeless man, wrapped in a blanket so tattered it could barely discern its original color, huddled in a dark corner. His breathing was weak, and his body trembled slightly from the cold. In this silent night, perhaps his only wish was to survive this long, dark night.

However, misfortune came quietly.

A dark figure moved through the alleys like a ghost, and wherever it passed, the air seemed to be stained with a layer of evil. The shadow stopped in front of the corner where the old homeless man was standing, and a pair of eyes emitting an eerie red light flickered in the darkness.

The old tramp seemed to sense the danger. He raised his head in horror and saw the horrific scene in front of him. He wanted to call for help, but it felt like his throat was being strangled by an invisible big hand and he couldn't make a sound.

The shadowy figure slowly extended its hand, a black mist surging from its palm. A ferocious face emerged from the mist, emitting a painful roar. The hand gradually approached the old homeless man, and with each step closer, the old homeless man felt his life force rapidly fading.

"No...don't..." The old tramp squeezed out a weak voice with his last bit of strength. But it was all in vain. The black hand instantly penetrated his body.

In an instant, the old tramp's body seemed drained of all life. His wrinkled face instantly shrivelled, his skin clinging tightly to his bones, and the light in his eyes quickly faded. His body withered at a visible speed, eventually turning into a pile of dust, which was blown away by the night wind, as if he had never existed.

"It's still too weak." The black shadow was obviously not satisfied. His soul power was now in the twenties, and devouring an ordinary person with no soul power would not help him improve much.

This made him somewhat unsatisfied.

But actually this is a good thing. As long as he is not too rampant, the federal government will not notice if he devours more homeless people.

After all, who cares about the life and death of these people?

This made him feel that coming to East Sea City was the right decision. While the population was large, the number of spirit masters was relatively small compared to other major cities. In recent years, the federal government had only increased oversight of some small border towns to prevent the emergence of evil spirit masters, but regulations in the remote areas of these major cities had been much looser.

As long as he acts carefully, he can live a comfortable life.

When he breaks through level 40, he will be qualified to be that person's core subordinate. Thinking of that person, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.

She is one of the Four Heavenly Kings and the most beautiful woman in the sect.

Each of the Four Heavenly Kings of the sect has a group of subordinates, divided into ordinary and core groups. The core group is naturally the closest ones. Only those who have reached level 40 or above can become core members. The idea of coming to East Sea City was proposed by her. Therefore, he was more than willing to become her core subordinate. After all, with her foresight, they would definitely reap many benefits in the future.

"We need to speed up the progress."

The church had already begun recruiting people, asking all the evil spirit masters outside to return as soon as possible, as they were rumored to be making a big move in the future. But right now, he really wanted to devour more flesh and souls before that.

The shadow paused, his gaze roaming the dim alley, as if searching for his next target. He licked his lips, his greedy expression particularly terrifying in the darkness.

But when he turned around again, he suddenly saw someone coming towards him.

To be precise, it was a teenager.

The young man was covered in a soft golden light, which seemed to be substantial, creating a bright area in the dark alley, forming a sharp contrast with the thick darkness around him.

But that wasn't what concerned him.

Because he was horrified to see the three black soul rings slowly surrounding the young man.

Three ten thousand year spirit rings!

The black shadow didn't have time to make a sound.

A golden sword streaked across the night sky and pierced through his body.

The moment the golden sword pierced through the black shadow's body, a powerful force of light element burst out. The black shadow's body seemed to be pierced by millions of hot needles at the same time, and he let out a shrill scream.

He looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief. He could never have imagined that a seemingly young spirit master could possess such powerful strength and be so ruthless.

But he didn't have time to think any further. The next moment, his body was completely enveloped by light. It then transformed into pure energy that was absorbed by the lightsaber and slowly injected into the boy's body.

After a long time, the shadow completely dissipated. The young man, as if full, slowly retracted his sword.

"Not bad, more than 20 levels of soul power, enough for me to grow one level."

Lin Ci seemed very satisfied. The reason he had been able to quickly reach level 30 in the past three months was not only due to the increase in soul power he had gained on the Soul Ascension Platform, but also partly due to devouring these evil soul masters.

His martial soul is not that simple. How could the things rewarded by the system be so ordinary?

With his current soul power level, he can clearly sense the evil soul master as long as he is within thirty meters of him.

The fish he bought for his grilled fish during the day were all from the fish distribution center in the old city. And it was precisely because of this that he had noticed this evil soul master for a few days.

Feeling the power within these evil soul masters, Lin Ci's soul power also became extremely excited. This was the joy of his martial soul.

The joy is naturally that one can devour the evil soul master.

This means that his light element can be used for his own benefit by absorbing the power in the evil soul master's body, thus strengthening himself and increasing his soul power level.

For evil soul masters, devouring others is their fastest way of cultivation. But conversely, for Lin Ci, devouring these evil soul masters is also a very fast way for him to cultivate.

Lin Ci could sense the strength of these evil soul masters and analyze their soul power. If he couldn't defeat them, he wouldn't act rashly.

But basically speaking, he can deal with evil soul masters of the same level. After all, in addition to the restraint of the light element itself, the sacredness can also completely restrain the evil soul masters.

It just so happened that Teacher Wu gave them a day off today, so he had time to deal with this evil spirit master. So he came here now, and it was also a good opportunity for him to improve his strength a little so that he could absorb more spiritual energy from the Spirit Ascension Platform during the riot period before the final exam tomorrow.

Speaking of which, even though he killed an evil spirit master, he really didn't feel anything in this situation. This reminded him of Qian Renxue's time, when he had to bear a lot of psychological pressure when he killed someone for the first time.

He was now a bit ordinary. But that was a good thing. It also made it easier for him to deal with these evil spirit masters.

However, that sword strike just now did consume a lot of his soul power, and now the soul power in his body is a little exhausted.

Although the level has been increased, the soul power consumption is real.

Lin Ci looked at the dark environment around him and his face turned slightly pale, but it was not just because of the consumption of soul power.

"It's an old problem..."
