Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 125 What qualifies as an Evil Soul Master?
Seeing Lin Xingyu approaching, Le Zhengyu frowned and was about to take two steps back to avoid Lin Xingyu's movement.

Just as he was about to make another move, he suddenly felt as if his body had touched something, and his movements faltered. Lin Xingyu then placed his hand on Le Zhengyu's shoulder.

"I know why you've come. I have a few questions I'd like to ask you first."

Lin Xingyu looked directly into Le Zhengyu's eyes and said.

"Do you think the people in the academy know about her martial spirit problem?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Zhengyu frowned, wanting to say no, but the previous incident reminded him that the academy was fully aware of the existence of this Fallen Angel Martial Soul possessor.

"It seems you're aware of this too. So let me ask you, has Shrek Academy always been very strict in its targeting of evil spirit masters?"

Le Zhengyu nodded silently.

"What kind of Soul Master do you think qualifies as an Evil Soul Master?" Lin Xingyu asked with great interest at the end.

"Should it be determined solely by the attributes of the martial soul, or by the actions of the individual?"

Le Zhengyu's expression froze for a moment. He was about to say that it should be defined from the perspective of personal behavior, and that anyone who could cultivate the Fallen Angel Martial Soul was definitely not a good person.

But the fact that a girl can live safely here shows that the other party is definitely not a villain, and probably has never hurt anyone.

However, this conflicted with the martial spirit knowledge he had learned, leaving him momentarily stunned.

After hesitating for a long time, Le Zhengyu finally gritted his teeth and said, "Then she should come back to the family with me first. Our family has an absolutely accurate method for identifying evil soul masters. We will never wrong an innocent person, nor will we let a bad person go free."

"If she has ever harmed anyone, we will definitely be able to recognize her scent!"

Seeing Le Zhengyu's soul power beginning to boil, Lin Xingyu was speechless.

A hotheaded young man full of a sense of justice, you really don't consider the current situation at all. Lin Xingyu found his behavior somewhat adorably silly.

"Later! We have things to do later."

"No way! Who knows where she'll hide if she leaves here?" Le Zhengyu said decisively.

He sighed helplessly to himself. Since reasoning wouldn't work, he would have to resort to physics. He had other things to do later and didn't have time to chat idly with him.

Lin Xingyu chose to get close right from the start, and at this moment his hand was still on Le Zhengyu's shoulder.

As he slowly exerted force, Le Zhengyu felt the powerful force coming from the other party. Just as he was about to use his martial soul to possess the body, he couldn't help but feel a pain under his ribs. At the same time, a surge of soul power entered his body, preventing him from using his martial soul to possess the body.

The moment Lin Xingyu sensed that Yue Zhengyu was about to make a move, he acted immediately.

Because of his "high-dimensional vision," he has a considerable understanding of the human body, knowing which muscles are suitable for exertion, which nerves affect which skeletal muscles, and what effects the circulation of qi and blood will have on the human body.

He knew exactly where soul power would flow most effectively and where soul power would condense when a martial soul possessed him.

His cultivation of Qi and blood power allowed him to control his own strength with ease.

The distance between the two was practically zero.

Soul Masters are ultimately a profession that relies on Martial Souls. Lower-level Soul Masters experience a certain delay when performing Martial Soul Possession. Lin Xingyu believes this is due to a weak connection between the Martial Soul and the Soul Master.

If we roughly divide martial souls, those below level 50 are in their childhood stage, those below level 70 are in their adolescence stage, and those above level 70 are in their adulthood stage.

When a Soul Master reaches level 50, their mental strength varies, but at this stage, as long as their physical fitness is up to par, they can withstand a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.

All of these can completely resolve the soul impact left by the ten-thousand-year-old soul ring.

When a soul beast reaches ten thousand years old, it will develop extremely strong intelligence.

When a Soul Master reaches level 50, their Martial Soul becomes more closely connected to them. The Martial Soul helps the Soul Master resolve the residual soul impact from the ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, so as long as their mental strength isn't too weak, they'll be fine.

The speed of spirit possession will also be faster, and later it will be possible to complete spirit possession in the blink of an eye.

However, with his current cultivation level, Le Zhengyu definitely couldn't do it. It usually takes a Soul Master a second to complete the Martial Soul Possession, while some geniuses can do it faster.

In the original timeline, Tang Wulin's favorite fighting style in the early stages was to not release his martial soul at the start of the match, but to charge out directly with his powerful physique. Sometimes, he would have already charged in front of his opponent before the opponent had even released his martial soul, thus gaining the first-mover advantage.

At this moment, Lin Xingyu was so close to everyone, and they were all low-level Soul Masters, so Le Zhengyu was in a terrible predicament.

Although Lin Xingyu did not use too much power, he was a master of combat skills by relying on his understanding of the structure of human tissue.

While it's not quite a situation where everyone is an enemy, if he were to get close, with his current level, he could easily slaughter low-level Soul Masters!

The first punch, imbued with soul power, directly shattered the soul power that Le Zhengyu was channeling into his martial soul. The second punch and the third punch calmed him down, making him realize that chasing down the evil soul master didn't seem so urgent.

After the fourth and fifth punches, Yue Zhengyu felt that he needed to stay calm at all times and distinguish between good people and bad people. How could he possibly lay a hand on a good person?
Lin Xingyu deliberately hit the areas that hurt but didn't cause injury, making him feel even more uncomfortable.

Two and a half minutes later, the physical persuasion of Le Zhengyu was stopped.

"Don't move! You don't want to attract the attention of law enforcement and get punished, do you? You know this isn't your first offense. Besides, you can't beat me."

"Like I just said, go back and think carefully about what kind of Soul Master can be considered an Evil Soul Master?"

"Whether he is a person with a dark martial soul who always does good deeds and walks the righteous path, or a soul master with a light martial soul who always takes pleasure in harming others, he is considered an evil soul master."

After saying that, Lin Xingyu was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and turned to the blond boy.

"By the way, my name is Lin Xingyu, a student in Class 1, Grade 1. In a few days, it should be the second year of Grade 1 to Grade 2 challenge. I welcome you to take your revenge then."

After saying that, Lin Xingyu and Yuan Enyehui turned and left.

This is like a sentence Lin Xingyu heard in his previous life. To put it in a local context, reading is for calmly reasoning with people, and cultivating oneself is for calmly listening to others reason with one.

Regarding whether Yuan Enye is an evil soul master, whether Le Zhengyu listens to his words is another matter. However, if absolute power is added, Le Zhengyu will go back and seriously consider what kind of person qualifies as an evil soul master.
Fighting is forbidden here. Give him a chance in a couple of days, have a fight, and he'll go back and seriously consider Lin Xingyu's words.

Lin Xingyu and Yuan En arrived at a workshop he had rented. Yuan En had already collected the necessary metals, and Lin Xingyu planned to make the battle armor parts she needed that night.

Yuan Enhui curiously looked around the room. Various equipment was placed in the middle of the room, and suits of armor were placed around it, making it look quite orderly.
