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

Chapter 129 Knowing each other
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Lin Jiayi gave Lin Xiao a strange look. "I remember you didn't seem very interested in the Fighting Spirit Competition last time."

"I just saw that the teacher was so concerned about the Fighting Spirit Competition, so I was wondering if there was anything I could do to help."

"What a shame." Lin Jiayi shook his head. "You can't participate in the Fighting Spirit Competition with your special ability. Otherwise, you might have had a chance in the last Fighting Spirit Competition."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I can see that you've gained a lot this time. I think even your mood has improved a lot."

Lin Xiao paused when he heard this, "I'm really happy that I've made a breakthrough in my strength."

"It's really worth being happy about. The threshold of level 70 has stopped countless soul masters." Lin Jiayi sighed slightly, "I'll pass the Mingde Hall assessment as soon as possible after I come back this time."

"Although the academy stipulates that anyone with a level three soul master or above can stay in the academy until the age of twenty-five, you can learn more by entering Mingde Hall as early as possible."

"Yeah." Lin Xiao nodded. This time his spirit power level had increased significantly, and he had also obtained a new 100,000-year spirit ring and spirit bone. He also needed to settle down and get familiar with his new power.

As they were talking, they had already reached the soul guide test area. Lin Jiayi stopped and turned around, "I still need to find a suitable testing site for the students participating in the Soul Fighting Competition. You should go back first, get a good night's rest, and come back tomorrow."

"You don't have to worry too much about the Mingde Hall assessment. Mingde Hall's requirements for students are first strength and second attainments in soul guides."

"With your current level of cultivation, it's more than enough. And with the self-propelled soul guide cannon you developed yourself, the hall master won't make things difficult for you."

"I understand, teacher." Lin Xiao nodded, watched Lin Jiayi walk into the soul guide test area, adjusted his expression slightly, and then turned and left.

Time passed quickly and night fell quickly. Lin Xiao took advantage of the cover of night and came to the branch altar as he was familiar with the place. As soon as he entered the underground hall, he saw an old man with a ferocious look sitting in the position where Nightmare Douluo usually sat.

Lin Xiao pressed the mask and quickly took two steps forward.

"I've met the second elder."

"Well, no need to be so polite." Nangong Wan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lin Xiao in front of him, "No need to look, the leader has arranged other things for your teacher, and I will take over what he is responsible for during this period of time."

Lin Xiao was convinced when he heard this, and then he clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Elder."

"Yeah." Nangong Wan nodded again, "What were you responsible for before?"

"Replying to the elder, I previously followed the teacher's arrangement to lurk in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy and try to find a way to enter Mingde Hall."

"Oh?" Nangong Wan, who also dabbled in soul guides, was clearly interested. "What stage have you reached now?"

"I already have the opportunity to take the next Mingde Hall exam. As long as I pass, I can enter Mingde Hall smoothly."

Nangong Wan's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be talking to himself, "Will Jing Hongchen really agree to let his disciples enter Mingde Hall?"

Soon, he turned back to look at Lin Xiao, "Okay, then your mission remains unchanged. I won't assign you any other tasks. You can arrange your own actions."

"Yes, thank you, Second Elder."

"There's more." Nangong Wan said as he pointed to the table beside him. Lin Xiao looked over and saw a piece of paper on it, but the words on it were a little unclear.

“You should be familiar with the Holy Church’s business in Mingdu. I don’t usually have time to come here, but tonight a disciple reported that you have returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, so I’m waiting for you here.” “In the future, if you have anything to report or need your eighth soul ring, come to the Xishui Alliance at this address.”

"Also, as a Holy Envoy, you are the representative of the elders, and your cultivation has now broken through level 70. You will be in charge of this altar for the time being."

"Yes, Elder, I understand."

Nangong Wan seemed to be very busy. After making a few simple arrangements, he got up and left. Until his figure completely disappeared, a sigh suddenly rose in Lin Xiao's heart.

"The last time you came here, I was still asleep and didn't feel much. Now that I'm here again, I didn't expect to hear so many wailing spirits."

"What a shrewd Holy Spirit Cult! They've done something like this just by touching the edge of necromancy. True necromancy should be the study of souls, not the desecration of the dead."

Lin Xiao had gradually gotten used to Electrolux speaking in his mind. His expression remained unchanged, he just looked up and glanced around.

On the wall nearby, the "holy flag" was hanging there, with countless vengeful spirits hiding inside, emitting bursts of chill.

"In this world, people's power relies on their martial spirits. Some people only utilize the abilities of their spirits that are inherent to their martial spirits. Therefore, research on the soul is indeed much less. Therefore, the only method they use to obtain souls is the most brutal one, which is to let the living die with resentment."

Lin Xiao slowly walked forward and sat down, responding to Electrolux in his heart.

"What about you? I've seen the souls you controlled. They were quite peaceful. You transformed two of them into that state. How did you come up with the idea of ​​studying souls?"

Lin Xiao paused. He couldn't say that his soul research was inspired by Electrolux. It was precisely because he knew Electrolux could also unleash the power of necromancy in this world that he was certain that his soul research would bear fruit.

"It's a coincidence, I guess. My martial spirit allows me to contain and discover those broken souls, so I want to try to do something with them and gain some power beyond martial spirits."

Lin Xiao replied with an incomplete truth.

"Haha." Alex laughed. "With your personality, if you were in my world, you might become a magician who enjoys studying magic."

While Lin Xiao and Alex were talking in their hearts, two more holy spirits walked into the hall.

"Greetings, Lord Holy Envoy."

"Well, why are there only two of you here?" Lin Xiao glanced at them and asked knowingly.

"Your Excellency, the Eighth Elder previously ordered that the other Holy Servants not be allowed to enter the underground hall without reason. In addition to us, there are two Holy Spirits, but they have not returned in this period of time."

"It's okay. When the Second Elder left just now, he assigned me to temporarily guard this holy altar." Lin Xiao didn't pursue the matter further. "My request is simple. Don't act too recklessly and hide your identities."

"I'll let you know if I need anything. When the rest of you come back, tell them the same thing I said."

"Yes, my lord."

The two Holy Spirits bowed and saluted, and Lin Xiao stood up and walked out.
