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

"Teacher Xuan?" Huo Yuhao came back to his senses after hearing that and saw Xuan Ziwen staring at him.

"You haven't rested enough yet? I can give you a day off to rest. In your current state, even if you make a soul guide, it won't improve you at all."

Huo Yuhao paused, forcing himself to suppress his chaotic thoughts.

"I'm fine, Teacher Xuan."

Xuan Ziwen glanced at Huo Yuhao again and said, "Okay then. If you still feel uncomfortable, don't tell me. Just go and rest."

"Thank you, Mr. Xuan."

"Hey, I think the exchange students from Shrek Academy are just like that. They're making soul guides before they even wake up. No wonder you lost to our Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy."

Huo Yuhao looked up upon hearing this, and discovered that several figures had appeared in the laboratory at some point. In addition to Orange, there were three other faces he had never seen before. The one who had just spoken was a tall young man among them.

"Okay, Shaojie, I also stayed up late because I was researching soul guides."

Orange spoke in a low voice, as if trying to persuade Wang Shaojie who was standing beside him. However, when Wang Shaojie heard Orange speaking to the people from Shrek Academy, his anger suddenly rose.

He took two big steps forward and looked down at Huo Yuhao in front of him.

"I'm just saying that Shrek Academy can't compare to our Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, so what? Could it be that Shrek won the championship in the last Soul Fighting Competition?"

Orange, who had just spoken, was now silent. He just stood aside with Keke, quietly observing Huo Yuhao's reaction.

Huo Yuhao's face was filled with anger. He was about to speak when Xuan Ziwen stood up and interrupted him, "Stop! I'm still here. What are you going to do?"

Seeing Xuan Ziwen's face showing some anger, Wang Shaojie glared at Huo Yuhao fiercely and took a step back.

"These are the other students I mentioned to you before. They went out of the academy for practice these days and just came back today."

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao slightly restrained his aura and glanced at the three people.

"You're the exchange student Orange mentioned on the way here." One of the petite girls looked at Huo Yuhao curiously. "My name is Keke, and this is Zimu. What's your name?"

"Huo Yuhao."

"Alright." Xuan Ziwen's tone calmed down a bit upon seeing this. "Yuhao will have to stay in the academy for a while. During this time, I don't want to see anything like today happen again."

"You three just came back today. Come and report to me the data you collected during this practice. As for Yuhao, you should take a day off today."

Xuan Ziwen also wanted to ease the relationship between Huo Yuhao and the other three. Huo Yuhao no longer insisted, nodded to Xuan Ziwen, and then left the laboratory under the gaze of the others.

After walking out of the teaching building, he did not return to the dormitory immediately, but instead walked towards Mingde Hall.

As a member of the Shrek Supervisory Group and a messenger of death who had once escaped from their hands, Huo Yuhao would never let him go.

But it would be too difficult for him to investigate the evil soul master alone in this unfamiliar Mingdu. Moreover, even if he found out the results, he might not be able to solve it alone. The best way was to let Fan Yu notify the academy.

Huo Yuhao thought to himself as he walked towards Mingde Hall.

Although the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy allowed exchange students from Shrek Academy to participate in the Mingde Hall assessment, even the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy's own students, except for interns, could not enter the Mingde Hall before taking the assessment.

Just as Huo Yuhao was standing outside Mingde Hall looking around, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Senior Lin."

Lin Xiao turned around upon hearing this, his eyes landing on Huo Yuhao before he smiled. "What's wrong? You look so anxious. Did something happen?"

"Senior Lin, could you please ask Teacher Fan for me?" Huo Yuhao did not respond directly.

Lin Xiao looked back in the direction of Mingde Hall, narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not continue asking questions.

As the team leader of Shrek Academy, Fan Yu was naturally treated differently from other students. Jing Hongchen, on the other hand, very much welcomed him to Mingde Hall to observe the teaching methods of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.

Although he didn't know what Huo Yuhao wanted to talk to Fan Yu about, asking him probably wouldn't get any results.

Recovering his thoughts, Lin Xiao nodded, "Okay, wait here for a while, I'll go see if Teacher Fan is in there."

Turning around and entering Mingde Hall, the elevator under his feet took Lin Xiao underground.

He slowly spread out his right hand, and a letter appeared in his hand.

The letter appeared at the door of his dormitory early in the morning. Although it was not clear which disciple delivered it, the two words "Nangong" signed at the end had already announced the origin of the letter.

It looked like Nangong Wan and the Third Elder had also returned from headquarters. This letter was an invitation to watch the match at the underground arena, and probably to discuss the details of the upcoming Soul Instructor Competition.

"Ding--"

The elevator beeped, Lin Xiao put away the letter in his hand and walked out.

Just as I walked out of the corridor, I saw Fan Yu, accompanied by Lin Jiayi, passing by the experimental tables in the basement of Mingde Hall.

"teacher."

Lin Xiao spoke, drawing their attention to himself. Fan Yu was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly, but did not seem too surprised.

After he and Cai Tou returned to the academy after participating in the Soul Fighting Competition, he had already guessed Lin Xiao's identity.

"Teacher Fan, long time no see."

That’s all for today, I’ll continue tomorrow

Chapter 207: Tracking

"It's indeed been a long time." Fan Yu sighed slightly.

When he first went to the Tianhun Empire, he met He Caitou. Even today, He Caitou and Huo Yuhao are still his two most outstanding disciples.

Lin Jiayi looked between Fan Yu and Lin Xiao, his expression slightly changing, "Did you know each other before?"

"Yes, I've met Teacher Fan once before." Lin Xiao nodded. "By the way, Teacher Fan, when I came in just now, I saw some students from your academy looking for you outside. They looked quite anxious."

Fan Yu's expression changed slightly, "Then I'll go out and take a look."

Seeing Fan Yu's hurried look, Lin Jiayi also took two steps forward and said, "Let me go with you. If there is anything, I can help you solve it."

Lin Jiayi and Fan Yu left together. Lin Xiao withdrew his gaze and glanced at the surrounding laboratory tables.

Now his cultivation has exceeded the eighth ring and he has officially entered the Soul Douluo realm. Although his previous seventh-level soul guide can be used normally, its power is much weaker than that of soul skills and cannot be used to deal with strong enemies.

However, it is not an easy task to upgrade those array floating cannons to eighth-level soul guides.

Like soul masters, soul masters have a higher level, and it becomes increasingly difficult to advance. There are many soul masters who have reached the eighth ring but are unable to advance to the soul master level.

After the battle with the Great Elder, Lin Xiao meditated for a whole year. During this time, he sensed and understood a faint force of space from the condensation process of his soul core.

Although he had just started, with this beginning, he would be able to apply the power of space to more areas on this basis.

Moreover, during the battle with the Great Elder, Lin Xiao gradually felt that with only one soul guide, the attack method was still too simple.

The power of soul guides lies not only in their firepower, but also in their ability to make up for their own shortcomings and enhance martial souls. Previously, his soul guide level was not high, and he did not have time to study too many other aspects of soul guides.

But now, with his current level, he is already capable of entering the field of another kind of soul guide.

Walking slowly past the experimental table, the other soul engineers were not too wary of Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao looked at the soul guide arrays that took shape in their hands, and ideas kept popping up in his mind.

After all, it is the place where the most talented soul guides in the entire Sun-Moon Empire gather. There is never a shortage of all kinds of wild ideas and secret techniques unique to other soul guides in Mingde Hall.

Although just watching cannot fully understand the thoughts of other soul masters, it also gave Lin Xiao a lot of ideas.

At first, he entered the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy just to cover up his identity as an evil soul master, but at this point, Lin Xiao had to admit that this place gave him a lot of help.

Back at his laboratory table, Lin Xiao plunged into the study of soul guide formations, and the day passed quickly.

As night fell, Lin Xiao had changed his clothes and appeared outside the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.

Not long after, two more figures appeared stealthily at the entrance of the academy.

"Junior brother, since Teacher Fan has already notified the academy, wouldn't it be better for us to wait for the academy staff to arrive before investigating?"

Huo Yuhao paused after hearing this, but still shook his head. "Brother He, when I first met that Death Messenger today, I was a little flustered and didn't think things through."

"But then I thought about it carefully. It's safe to investigate now. As exchange students from Shrek Academy, it's normal for us to be curious about Mingdu. Those evil spirit masters won't think we're investigating them."

"And you, Brother He, also know my martial spirit. Even in the academy, no one else is more suitable for this kind of investigation than me."

"Okay." He Caitou looked at Huo Yuhao and finally nodded. "I'll go with you. If there's any danger, I'll do my best to protect you."

He Caitou stopped trying to dissuade him, and the two of them quickly followed the route Huo Yuhao had taken to track the Death Messenger during the day and arrived in front of a building.

"Brother He, have you been here before?"

Just standing in front of the building, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. With his mental perception, even without deliberately exploring, he could feel a sense of discomfort coming from it.

"No." He Caitou shook his head as he watched the people coming and going outside the building. "In my impression, this was just a simple residential area at first. It must have only recently become like this."

"At least when I was little, this place wasn't this lively." He Caitou said, turning around and saying, "Junior brother, should we go in?"

"Well, but we have to make some preparations."

Huo Yuhao took out two metal masks and handed one to He Caitou. "Although our presence here shouldn't attract the attention of evil spirit masters, it's still best to provide some cover."

"After we go in, we shouldn't use our usual names anymore, and we should try to avoid addressing each other as usual. How about this, I'll be called Tang Wu, and my senior brother and I will be called Tang Si. I'll call you Fourth Brother, and you'll call me Fifth Brother."

"Okay." He Caitou nodded.

He and Huo Yuhao had participated in Shrek Academy's extreme individual training together. In Shrek Academy's plan, Huo Yuhao was the priority between the two of them, so naturally there would be no objection at this time.

"Huh—let's go."

Huo Yuhao felt the coldness brought by the mask on his face, breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped into the building in front of him.

Just as he passed through the gate, a loud shout suddenly sounded from under the ground. The temperature inside was much higher than outside. Breathing the hot air inside made his body heat up a little.

"Welcome, both of you. Would you like to participate in the competition or just watch it?"

The waiter beside them had already come over and turned his head slightly to look at Huo Yuhao.

"Let's watch the game." Huo Yuhao lowered his voice slightly.

"Okay, please follow me to buy your tickets." The waiter's voice became sweeter. "I see you two are unfamiliar. This must be your first time here, right?"

"I wonder if you two would like to place a bet on any of the contestants. If you'd like, I can introduce you to some."

"Not for now, let's see first."

"Okay." The waiter's smile remained. "You two will like it here. I hope you can spend a pleasant evening here."

There were also some people who came here who were unwilling to show their true faces, so the attire of Huo Yuhao and the other two was not too strange.

Just as he bought the ticket and walked down the stairs to the underground, the scene in front of him made him stop suddenly.

"What's wrong, little...fifth brother?"
