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

Chapter 417 Counterproductive
In a short time, Xuanzi understood many things.

Although Di Tian brought countless soul beasts here, he was clearly wary of Shrek Academy.

Di Tian's purpose in coming here was definitely not to incite conflict between soul beasts and humans. He did not initially intend to take the initiative to make a move. On the contrary, his hesitation just now made Di Tian suddenly have the idea of ​​making a move here.

Even when he did make a move, Di Tian refrained from using his full strength because he was at Shrek Academy.

Just as Di Tian said, if Xuan Zi had really spoken up and stopped Di Tian's actions like Zhang Lexuan did, perhaps this conflict wouldn't have happened.

Unfortunately……

Lin Xiao, who was fighting against Di Tian, ​​had no time to pay attention to many things, but he was not as stressed as others had imagined.

If Di Tian were to go all out, no matter how confident Lin Xiao was, he couldn't possibly believe that he could defeat an 800,000-year-old soul beast with his current cultivation level, especially since Di Tian also had many secrets.

However, Di Tian chose to use the most basic method of comparing soul power.

Perhaps he didn't value Lin Xiao too much, or perhaps he was somewhat wary of Shrek Academy's power, but at this moment, Lin Xiao realized just how advanced his "soul core" had become.

When Lin Xiao broke through to level 90, Electrolux provided him with another way to break through, which was to integrate a "world" as a soul core into his body.

Before this, although Lin Xiao knew that his "soul core" was different from that of ordinary people, he could not compare how much it surpassed that of ordinary soul masters.

At this moment, feeling the endless soul power in the plane of the dead, and feeling the soul power surging in his meridians, Lin Xiao understood that at this moment, in the most basic soul power competition, he was not even weaker than the 800,000-year-old soul beast Di Tian.

Time passed second by second, and the fluctuations in soul power between Lin Xiao and Di Tian could not escape the perception of other experts. The two were evenly matched, and the expressions of Xuan Zi and the soul masters of the three great empires on the ground were already somewhat out of control.

No one had ever imagined that a human could possess soul power that was in no way inferior to that of an 800,000-year-old soul beast.

Some Soul Masters were still resentful, feeling that Lin Xiao was only able to lead the Sun Moon Empire to defeat them by borrowing the power of the Soul Guidance Device. In terms of the most basic strength of Soul Masters, they still had the advantage.

But at this moment, the competition between Lin Xiao and Di Tian instantly turned everyone's dissatisfaction and arrogance into nothingness.

Even without a soul tool, Lin Xiao's strength had already reached a level they had never imagined.

Even without powerful soul skills, Lin Xiao could exhaust all the soul masters present simply by expending his soul power.

Standing before everyone, Xu Jiawei suddenly let out a long breath, withdrew his gaze, lowered his head slightly, and gave a helpless, bitter smile.

It's laughable that they had just started to have some delusions because of Di Tian's words.

But now, not to mention what the three great empires will become under the protection of the soul beasts, even whether Di Tian can protect the three great empires from the attack of the Sun Moon Empire is becoming a doubt.

Xu Jiawei pulled himself out of his thoughts, raised his eyes, which were full of worry, and looked at the others around him, only to see a series of gazes similar to his own.

Everyone knew that the outcome of the battle in the air was no longer important. When Lin Xiao was able to contend with Di Tian, ​​who had cultivated for 800,000 years, their own thoughts had long become insignificant.

In this world, strength is the foundation of everything.

This is a principle that Lin Xiao has known since childhood.

Although many students at Shrek Academy were instructed to hide, some still watched the battle in the sky from afar.

They had just experienced Di Tian's overwhelming power, and Lin Xiao, who could contend with that force, though his physical form remained unchanged, seemed to have grown taller in their eyes. "Boom—"

Just as everyone was focused on the aerial battle, a loud roar suddenly rang out at the entrance of Shrek Academy.

Xianlin'er and Qian Duoduo instantly looked away, and after just one glance, they quickly looked at Ju Zi.

"That's your Soul Master Corps. Why did you let them into the academy for no reason? Are you trying to start a war with Shrek City?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen stepped forward slightly and partially shielded the orange behind her.

"For no reason?"

Ju Zi remained calm, turned to Xian Lin'er, and chuckled, "Your Shrek Academy is in cahoots with the soul beasts, so my Sun Moon Empire will naturally support my Sun Moon National Master."

"Master of the Red Dust Hall, give the order."

"Yes."

Jing Hongchen's gaze swept over the Shrek Academy students and the students from the three great empires, and his voice suddenly grew louder, "Royal Soul Master Corps, form the formation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several beams of light shot straight into the sky from the entrance of Shrek Academy.

Di Tian in the air was startled, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the beams of light were heading straight for Lin Xiao. Before he could figure it out, red and blue light intertwined around Lin Xiao and rushed towards Di Tian along his right arm.

Di Tian's expression suddenly changed. A dragon's roar rang out, and his figure instantly flew back. He then retreated several steps, with black mist surging behind him, before he finally managed to stop.

Di Tian looked at Lin Xiao with some disbelief. He naturally knew that the Sun Moon Empire had various soul tools, but he did not expect that simply connecting those soul tools together would be enough to unleash power that could even surpass his own.

Lin Xiao also stopped and did not give chase. He looked around and his gaze swept over everyone. There was no one in the sky or on the ground who dared to meet his eyes.

Several auras surged within the black mist, while the golden light permeating various parts of Shrek Academy also flickered slightly.

Di Tian raised his hand, stopping the restless group of soul beasts behind him, and a sense of regret immediately arose in his heart.

The Star Dou Great Forest was originally a natural buffer zone for the three great empires, so naturally not many people cared about it. But once it was taken over by the Sun Moon Empire, it would inevitably make some arrangements to make it easier for humans to obtain soul rings.

But there is something in the Star Dou Great Forest that he absolutely cannot let humans know.

Although it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, Di Tian really didn't expect anyone to be able to confront him head-on.

Originally, the intention was merely to disrupt the peace talks between the major empires, giving the soul beasts, or rather the Star Dou Great Forest, some time. However, unexpectedly, this trip actually made the unification of the Sun Moon Empire proceed more smoothly.

"I haven't ventured out for quite some time, and I never imagined that such a figure as you would emerge among humanity." Di Tian's gaze returned to Lin Xiao, his expression slightly different from before.

Lin Xiao glanced in the direction of Shrek Academy's entrance, raised his hand slightly, and the Royal Soul Master Corps immediately stopped what they were doing.

Looking up at Di Tian again, Lin Xiao understood that what seemed like admiration was actually a way to completely extinguish Di Tian's idea of ​​making a move here.

"So now, we can have a proper talk about the future of the Star Dou Great Forest."
