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

Chapter 79 Another Dream
However, there is something different about the soul ring of this soul beast.

Lin Xiao could feel a cold power in its soul ring, which was somewhat similar to the Evil Emperor he had just met, but much thinner.

He knew that this was the power contained in the Evil Emperor's bloodline, the power that all evil soul masters dreamed of. No wonder Zhongli Wu said that the soul beasts in the Demon Forest were most suitable for evil soul masters.

No matter what kind of martial soul it is, as long as it is related to the evil soul master, it will definitely benefit from the bloodline of the Evil Emperor.

And deeper in the soul ring, there was another strange aura. Lin Xiao couldn't describe what the feeling was, but he didn't feel disgusted, nor did he feel any discomfort.

A low roar sounded, seemingly coming from the ear, yet also from the depths of his mind. This wasn't the first time Lin Xiao had absorbed a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, so he naturally knew it was the remaining spirit beast consciousness within the spirit ring.

But the next moment, as a phantom emerged from Lin Xiao's body, the voice of the soul beast quickly disappeared.

Lin Xiao didn't open his eyes, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He didn't expect this thing to have such a wonderful use.

Lin Xiao's breathing gradually became steady. The room was completely silent. Only on the corpse of the soul beast, the red spider lilies were blooming exceptionally brightly...

The scorching summer sun shone down on the earth, yet many people were still busy working in the fields. It was the busy season for harvesting wheat, and even under such a scorching sun, they still had to brave the heat to harvest the crops.

Several adults bent over, wielding sickles, and ripe wheat stalks fell one after another. Behind them, several young children followed behind them, picking up the scattered wheat ears.

Although it was hot, everyone's words revealed a hint of joy. Even the children who were still young were grinning, letting the sweat drip from their foreheads.

"Grandpa——Axiao——come here quickly——"

A voice came from afar, and a young figure was running along the path in the field.

The sound of wheat straw colliding in the ears drowned out the shouting coming from far away, and only the children in the back heard anything.

"Grandpa, someone is calling you."

A child trotted a few steps, came to an old man and shouted.

The old man seemed to have just reacted, stood up straight and looked into the distance.

"What's up--"

"A soul master has come to the village—"

The shout was so loud that the other adults seemed to have heard the child's voice and stood up.

"Soul Master?" The old man looked a little surprised. "How could there be a Soul Master in such a remote place like ours?"

However, the old man was still a little confused, but the eyes of the children behind him lit up.

"Hoo-hoo-hoo..." The child in the distance finally ran over, breathing heavily, "Grandpa, hurry back to the village. Those two spirit masters are at the entrance of the village. They said they are helping talented children awaken their spirits."

"Don't be anxious, take your time." The old man stepped forward and touched the child's head, sighing softly, "Even if a soul master passed by, how could people like us have the talent to become soul masters?"

As he was speaking, the old man suddenly turned his head and looked at a child behind him. "By the way, Xiao, you are not from the village. Maybe you really have the talent to become a soul master. Do you want to give it a try?"

"I..." The child who was being stared at by the old man was stunned for a moment, then nodded sharply.

"Sir, the fields are busy with farming, we are late."

"Well, it's okay."

At the entrance of the village, the two soul masters were seated in the shade at the side, entertained by others. Two bowls of water had been poured on the table. There was no good tea in the village, so they only added some home-grown honey to give the water some flavor.

The two Soul Masters didn't even glance at them, while some children watched from a distance, secretly swallowing their saliva. "We were just passing through and saw a village here, so we thought we'd see if there were any talented children."

"You are joking, sir. Our ancestors have never had any talent. How could a child who can become a soul master suddenly appear?" The old man bent down slightly with a smile on his face.

"Who can say for sure? A phoenix might emerge from a chicken coop," one of the spirit masters said, glancing behind the old man. "Is this the only child of the right age?"

"Sir." The old man hurriedly pulled the child behind him to his front. "If there is any child in the village who has the greatest potential to become a spirit master, it is only him."

"Um...what's his name?"

"Sir, his name is Lin Xiao."

"Hmph." The soul master in front of him suddenly snorted coldly. Lin Xiao didn't know why he saw a hint of coldness in the soul master's smile. His heart trembled suddenly, as if some voice was telling him to run away quickly.

But he is just a five-year-old child, where can he run to?
"Hey, not bad."

As the soul master in front of him finished speaking, another person beside him stood up and said, "Elder, do you want to take it back?"

"Bring him back to headquarters. I think he has quite a bit of spiritual energy. The Holy Emperor will like him."

Elders, headquarters, Holy Emperor...

The names mentioned one by one by the two people in front of him awakened another memory in Lin Xiao's mind.

When he knew what kind of world he had come to, he was looking forward to meeting soul masters from outside. The closer he got to turning six, the more he wanted to go out.

But the soul master he wanted to meet was definitely not the one in front of him.

"Elder, what about... the others?"

The soul master in front of Lin Xiao stood up and looked around. "This place is remote. It may take several years to see people from outside."

"Yes, the village is a bit remote." The old man echoed the soul master.

"Don't worry, you will be free soon."

"Grandpa!" Lin Xiao sensed something and turned around hastily. However, the next moment, he was suddenly launched into the air and carried by the spirit master...

"call--"

Lin Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, and the corpse of the soul beast in front of him exploded instantly. Blood splattered all over the stone chamber, but no stains were left. Only flowers of the other shore bloomed all over the room.

The elegant fragrance reached the tip of Lin Xiao's nose, and his breathing gradually calmed down.

Around him, six ten-thousand-year soul rings, black, black, black, black, black, and black, revolved around him and kept moving.

However, Lin Xiao's mind was not on the soul ring, but was slightly absent-minded.

How long has it been since he had a nightmare since he broke the restriction left by Nightmare Douluo?

It seemed like quite some time had passed. Without that restriction, Nightmare Douluo seemed unable to affect his dreams, and some of the past events he didn't want to talk about were gradually buried deep within him.

But now, those scenes resurfaced before his eyes. Was he unconsciously influenced by Nightmare Douluo again? Or did seeing those sacrificed people bring back memories?
