Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 1: The Holy Body of an Innate Evil Soul Master!

"Phew, finally got rid of those annoying guys."

Under the cover of night, the bright moonlight filtered through the lush foliage and gently bathed the earth. A slender figure leaned against the trunk of a large tree, breathing heavily with some difficulty.

By the moonlight, one could see that he was a boy with strange white hair, about eleven or twelve years old, whose chest and limbs were covered with shocking wounds, and bright red blood soaked through his thin clothes.

Such injuries would have caused an ordinary child to faint from the excruciating pain, but this boy showed no sign of suffering on his face.

The only thing one could sense was the deathly coldness emanating from those blood-red eyes.

"I'm actually quite lucky this time. A Blood Tiger with 600 years of cultivation can be my second soul ring."

Seeing that the commotion around him had gradually faded away, the white-haired youth did not immediately care about his own injuries. Instead, he turned to look at the corpse of the blood tiger beside him and couldn't help but smile as he spoke.

The boy's name is Luo Chen, a somewhat tragic transmigrator. He died just moments before being transmigrated into this world as an orphan, and he awakened a martial soul called the Reaper's Scythe on his own.

As you can tell from the name, this is not a normal martial soul. Its own ability is even more outrageous. As long as it is a living thing, whether it is an animal, a plant or a person, it can absorb the life energy in its body and use it to strengthen itself.

Why is it described as "growing stronger"? It's because Luo Chen discovered that when the life energy from the outside world was integrated into his body, his soul power and various physical attributes would experience a qualitative leap. He could even feel that, driven by the life force, even his own martial soul was slowly evolving!

This is definitely a congenital evil spirit master's holy body!

Unfortunately, just as he awakened this ability and was forced to release it, he was spotted by several passing Soul Masters. If it weren't for the fact that his Martial Soul had a life-saving skill that allowed him to turn into a cloud of blood mist and escape, he would probably have died on the spot.

However, despite awakening this martial soul and abilities similar to those of an evil soul master, Luo Chen has never used these abilities on anyone so far.

However, even though Luo Chen had never used this ability to harm anyone, he was still wanted by the entire city and had no choice but to begin his escape.

Today marks not only his 1,999th day of wandering the world since he came into this world, but also the day he advances to level 20, obtains his second soul ring, and becomes a Great Soul Master.

It has to be said that although fate played a little joke on him, he was treated quite well. Not only was his martial soul of ridiculously high quality, but he also possessed an extremely rare innate full soul power and the heaven-defying ability to absorb life, which made him feel like he had divine assistance in his cultivation!

In just a few years, he, who didn't even know how to circulate his meridians for cultivation, naturally reached level 20 by relying on his own powerful talent!

According to Luo Chen's plan, after reaching level 20 soul power and absorbing his second soul ring to become a Great Soul Master, he should then flee to another city to find a place to stay...

As Luo Chen's own soul power drew in, a yellow halo slowly condensed on the blood tiger beside him, which was about two meters long and had dark red fur. This was the strange thing about this world.

A 600-year-old soul ring!

Seeing the yellow halo rise before him, Luo Chen couldn't help but reveal a look of satisfaction.

Before this, he had spent half a day fighting a war of attrition against the blood tiger, during which he also attracted a pack of shadow wolves. In the end, he was badly injured before he managed to escape the pursuit of the shadow wolves and kill the blood tiger.

Right now, this century-old soul ring, filled with the aura of blood, is just the right one for him to absorb. It is also extremely compatible with his Death Scythe Martial Soul, so all the blood he shed for it was worth it.

While Luo Chen was guiding the soul ring to absorb and fuse, the wounds on his body caused by the sharp claws and fangs had already been completely healed by the life force of the blood tiger beside him, and even his somewhat pale skin had become rosy.

This is precisely the most abnormal aspect of his life-absorbing ability. As long as there is still life force for him to absorb, even if he suffers great injuries, as long as it is not a fatal injury, such as losing his head, he can recover immediately.

This is why he dared to hunt soul beasts alone in the Soul Beast Forest at night, relying on his cultivation level of only one ring to obtain a soul ring. He was not a reckless fool.

However, even with his strong regenerative abilities, he is not immortal. With his current cultivation level, the limit is that he can only rely on the unique nature of his martial soul's innate skill, Blood Mist, to wage a war of attrition against a six-hundred-year-old Blood Tiger.

If he encounters a powerful soul beast that is thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, then there is no point in fighting. Whether he can escape is a question. After all, the Blood Mist skill can only last for three seconds and it is not 100% damage-free. If he activates it several times in a row and his soul power is exhausted, then he can just wait to die.

"I hope that fusing with the spirit ring of this century-old Blood Tiger will grant me a powerful offensive spirit skill. Otherwise, relying solely on the control spirit skill 'Death Gaze' from this first spirit ring won't unleash the full offensive power that the Reaper's Scythe should possess!"

As the distant horizon gradually turned a pale white, Luo Chen knew that dawn was approaching. He took a deep breath, silently prayed, and then devoted himself to absorbing the spirit ring.

To be honest, Luo Chen is also gambling. Generally, when absorbing a soul ring, someone needs to be by his side to protect him. Otherwise, if the absorption of the soul ring is interrupted, it may cause his soul power to surge, resulting in broken meridians and demonic possession.

Although at this point in time, it's highly unlikely that any aggressive soul beasts will appear, who can guarantee that?

What Luo Chen didn't know was that just as he began to calm his mind and absorb his second soul ring, a fierce fox with three hundred years of cultivation had already been watching him intently from not far away in the grass. It had been attracted by the bloody smell from before.

At this moment, he was moving silently, inching closer to the unsuspecting Luo Chen under the tree.

However, just as it was about to succeed, a deep blue bolt of lightning appeared silently and struck its brainstem directly!

Under this powerful lightning attack, not only did the fox's fur stand on end, but it also emitted a rich aroma of meat, clearly indicating that its entire body had been charred and roasted by the lightning.

"A thunderous roar!"

Behind Luo Chen, there stood a man and a woman, both of whom looked unusually young, only three or four years older than Luo Chen.

The one who made the move was a refined and easy-going young man with long, dark blue hair. However, both of them were dressed in dark green clothes, and there was a strange-looking little green monster mark on their left chests.

"Teacher Xiaoya, look..."

After dealing with the fierce fox, the refined young man put away his three soul rings and looked at the girl beside him, who was also frowning, with a slightly serious expression.

Clearly, both of them had witnessed Luo Chen's abilities as he absorbed the soul ring under the tree.

Almost all soul masters deeply abhor evil soul masters, after all, a single evil soul master could potentially kill hundreds or thousands of ordinary people, and once they grow up, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Both of them understood this point, but at this moment, there was hesitation on their faces, because Luo Chen under the tree was obviously only a child of about eleven years old.

Moreover, judging from his tattered clothes and bloodstains, the two could guess what had happened to him.

Seeing Luo Chen gritting his teeth as he absorbed the soul ring, the girl seemed to remember something. Her furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and a hint of sympathy appeared in her eyes. She said softly:

"Let's observe him first. If he's truly beyond help, then it's not too late for you to intervene, Beibei..."

"Well... okay."

Upon hearing this, the refined young man named Beibei pondered for a moment before agreeing.
