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

He quickly came to his senses and looked at the three strong men again, only to find that they were all standing there in a daze.

Lin Xiao reacted instantly and realized that what he saw was not his own experience, but the memories of the people in front of him.

Just like the power of flesh and blood that can devour the opponent's body, the soul seed devours their souls and their memories.

Scenes that were hard for them to forget or that they did not want to mention reappeared before their eyes uncontrollably.

This was the first time that Lin Xiao had used the soul abilities of his Higanbana martial spirit since he broke the restriction imposed by Nightmare Douluo. He had originally just wanted to see if there was any difference from before, but he hadn't expected the effect to be so obvious.

The unrestricted mental power was more closely connected with the red spider lily. He was about to take this opportunity to try out several other soul skills when his face suddenly changed.

The aura of other soul masters could be faintly heard in the distance, probably attracted by the fluctuations of the battle just now.

His mind raced as Lin Xiao suddenly raised his arm. A strong white light shot out from the soul guide cannon, and a hole instantly appeared on the bodies of the three people who were immersed in their memories. Then they fell straight down.

Lin Xiao took a step forward and squatted beside the third brother. He just raised his hand, but suddenly stopped and looked up slightly.

This is the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. Compared to the inside, the trees are a little sparse, and the intertwined branches and leaves do not completely block the night sky. The moonlight is falling on the ground through the gaps.

Beneath the moonlight, a slender figure stood at the end of the treetops. The slender branches beneath his feet curved only slightly. Behind him, a full moon hung in the sky, its cool light pouring down like a waterfall, outlining a clear silhouette.

Facing the moonlight, Lin Xiao could not see the man's appearance clearly. He could only see that the man's long hair was tied behind his back, and a few strands of hair broke free and fluttered gently in the night breeze.

With a light tap, the branches under his feet swayed slightly, and the figure fell in front of Lin Xiao in an instant. The bright moonlight became brighter with her arrival.

"meet again."

Hearing the person speak, Lin Xiao slowly stood up and smiled, "Yeah, what a coincidence, we meet again."

The smile on his face remained unchanged, but the flow of soul power in his body did not slow down at all.

At such a close distance, Lin Xiao recognized the person coming. It was Zhang Lexuan, whom he had met several times before. Although he was familiar with her, Lin Xiao hoped that the person coming was not her.

He knew very well the attitude of Shrek Academy towards evil soul masters. He didn't know what Zhang Lexuan would think when she saw the scene before her, nor did he know whether she had heard the conversation with those people before, but he was mentally prepared to take action at any time.

However, Zhang Lexuan just glanced at Lin Xiao, then squatted down as well, looking through the bodies of those people without any precautions, letting the blood stain her fingers red.

"I came here to hunt down these few of them."

As if confirming their identities, Zhang Lexuan spoke softly.

"They are a group of people who specialize in helping other spirit masters hunt for spirit rings."

"Yeah, I heard about it when I was talking to them before." Lin Xiao nodded, moved a little closer, and looked at Zhang Lexuan's defenseless back.

"Then do you know that their offer is very low?"

Ok?

It was not Lin Xiao's first day out, and he quickly understood what Zhang Lexuan meant.

Helping other spirit masters to hunt spirit rings was no easy task, and fighting spirit beasts always carried some risks. Furthermore, this was the Star Dou Great Forest, where any kind of mishaps were commonplace. It was like running a business with your head on your hip.

Therefore, the price of helping other soul masters to hunt soul rings has always been not cheap, and the reason why they asked for a low price was obviously because of other reasons.

Zhang Lexuan stood up and looked around before turning her attention to Lin Xiao. "Soul masters who hire these people to help them hunt for spirit rings generally don't have any powerful forces behind them, nor do they have any long-term teammates."

"Besides, they're attracted to them because they're cheap, which shows that their family conditions aren't good. Even if someone like that disappears in the Star Dou Great Forest, not many people will care."

Chapter 39 The Old One is Coming

Lin Xiao began to understand how their smooth movements came about.

If they bring their employers into the Star Dou Great Forest and surround them under the pretext of protecting their employers, then even soul masters who are capable of resisting will be caught off guard and those soul masters who are food or auxiliary will have no chance of struggling.

Although he wasn't an evil spirit master, his actions were no different from those of an evil spirit master. No wonder they said leaving here would mean death; it turned out that someone from Shrek Academy was targeting him.

It was no wonder that just by killing the third brother, the other three were stunned for a moment. They were not experienced warriors, at most they were just used to bullying ordinary spirit masters.

"There are endless dangers in the Star Dou Great Forest. Even if one or two people disappear occasionally, not many people will care, right?"

Lin Xiao finished what Zhang Lexuan hadn't finished.

"Ah."

"This is a really... somewhat clichéd story."

"Have you seen many things like this?" Zhang Lexuan suddenly spoke.

Lin Xiao was slightly stunned upon hearing this. Whether in his past life memories or in the Holy Spirit Church, he had at least heard of such stories many times, if not seen them before. Even in a world like this, how could there be so many new things?

"But for the families of those spirit masters, one moment they might be happy because a talented spirit master has appeared in their family, and the next moment, they receive tragic news." Zhang Lexuan's eyes were somewhat dejected. "No one could have predicted what would happen next."

The moonlight illuminated Zhang Lexuan's soft profile. Lin Xiao stared at her, speechless for a moment. If it weren't for something else, the person before him would probably be happy for her talent along with her family.

If nothing unexpected had happened, perhaps even he himself would not have appeared in this world alone.

"Oh, they also have a fifth brother." Lin Xiao suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. "He's already been dealt with."

"Yeah." Zhang Lexuan nodded, "You..."

"Is Shrek Academy confident in letting you deal with these people on your own?" Lin Xiao seemed to have noticed what Zhang Lexuan was about to ask and quickly changed the subject.

After all, ordinary people would not appear in the dangerous Star Dou Forest if it were not for hunting soul rings.

"The academy also wants to train our ability to handle crises independently."

Lin Xiao listened to Zhang Lexuan's answer, but was wondering in his heart whether there were other people from Shrek Academy who were secretly protecting her.

If Zhang Lexuan had a Titled Douluo-level expert by his side, he might be able to leave the Holy Spirit Church with the help of Shrek Academy.

Although Shrek Academy had different opinions in his past life memories, it was undeniable that their attitude towards evil soul masters had remained unchanged. If they heard any news about the Holy Spirit Church, they would definitely be interested.

Moreover, with Moon in Shrek Academy, even the Holy Spirit Church can't do anything to them.

But if Zhang Lexuan really came out alone, not only would she be implicated in vain, but he would also not gain any benefit.

"Do you have anything to say?"

"Huh?" Lin Xiao came back to his senses. "I just feel like I didn't know your name after meeting you twice."

"My name is……"

Zhang Lexuan had just opened her mouth when a shrill scream rang out, covering up the rest of her words.

Lin Xiao's expression suddenly changed.

They hadn't sensed its presence along the way and originally thought it wasn't targeting them, but now it seemed the appearance of this hundred thousand year old soul beast was definitely related to the Ghost-Faced Owl that was captured by Sleepy Nightmare Douluo.

The sound that seemed to be able to tear the darkness apart came from behind.

"Come on!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiao rushed forward.

Zhang Lexuan followed just as quickly, but how could the speed of these two soul masters compare to that of a hundred thousand year old soul beast?

The oppressive atmosphere was getting closer and closer, and the sound of trees being broken kept coming to my ears. A chaotic gust of wind blew up the fallen leaves that had accumulated in the forest for a long time.

Lin Xiao's face looked a little ugly. He didn't expect that even though he had already thrown the ghost-faced owl down, this soul beast still caught up with him.

Is it really holding a grudge? But it picked on the wrong person.

He looked back at Zhang Lexuan again, then suddenly moved closer and grabbed her wrist.

The next moment, in her somewhat surprised gaze, Lin Xiao's figure accelerated again.

Zhang Lexuan was about to say something, but was interrupted by the sudden huge pressure on her body.

The invisible air seemed to have substance, and a tremendous pressure fell on her from the front.

It was not until then that she could clearly see the beams of light gushing out from behind Lin Xiao.

In fact, not all soul engineers like to use soul guide propulsion devices. After all, soul engineers are not as strong as soul masters, and their physical strength is always worse. Therefore, not all soul engineers can withstand the pressure brought to the body by soul guide propulsion devices.

But the fact that it can bring pressure that ordinary soul masters cannot bear also reflects its powerful ability from another perspective.

When soul power poured into the soul guide thruster regardless of consumption, a dazzling light lit up from behind Lin Xiao, and even he himself could feel the body being torn apart under the tremendous pressure.

The fierce sound of the wind in his ears almost drowned out all other sounds. Occasionally, one or two trees blocking the road were broken by him before they could avoid him.

Although he is a Titled Douluo, he hides his figure and lets his disciples bear the wrath of a hundred thousand year soul beast. This Nightmare Douluo is really a good teacher of his.

The soul power in Lin Xiao's body was rapidly dissipating, and his mind was also full of thoughts.

If there is really a chance to get rid of this soul beast, at least after this incident, the soul-raising ceremony seems to be able to be delayed for a while.

but--

This hundred thousand year old soul beast has been around for so long and no one from Shrek Academy has shown up. Could it be that Zhang Lexuan really came out alone?

Just when Lin Xiao was thinking about whether to abandon Zhang Lexuan, her voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Fly out of the forest. I can stop it for a while. With the academy here, a hundred thousand year old soul beast won't easily appear outside the Star Dou Great Forest."

After all, she is the future senior sister of Shrek Academy. In just a short moment, Zhang Lexuan has become accustomed to the pressure brought by the rapid flight of the soul guide propulsion device. She used her soul power to create a layer of protective shield, and her voice was transmitted to Lin Xiao's ears.

Lin Xiao did not respond. He looked in the right direction and several more trees were broken in half by his impact.

A wave of soul power came from behind him, and Lin Xiao subconsciously became alert, but after thinking about it, he still didn't look back.

The next moment, a dazzling golden light lit up, and a dragon roar resounded throughout the Star Dou Great Forest.

Chapter 40 Substitute

With just one voice, Lin Xiao had already guessed who was behind this. As the golden light shone, his sea of ​​consciousness became turbulent.

Dragon God Douluo has not appeared in the world for a long time, and many soul masters have forgotten this long-famous master, but Lin Xiao is clear about the relationship between Zhang Lexuan and Moon En.

However, just when he thought he could relax a little, Zhang Lexuan's voice came again, "Hurry up, this method can only stop it temporarily, there is no way to defeat the hundred thousand year soul beast."

Lin Xiao was slightly stunned, then realized that Zhang Lexuan had indeed come to the Star Dou Forest alone, and the movement behind him was not caused by Moon himself, but he left the force of one blow for Zhang Lexuan to protect himself.

He did not dare to relax, and the soul power in his body continued to flow into the soul guide propulsion device.

Just when Lin Xiao's soul power was almost exhausted, there was a sudden light around him, and the scene in front of him suddenly became clear. There were no longer those lush trees before.

Lin Xiao landed on the ground, then rushed forward a few steps due to inertia, finally stabilizing himself. Looking back, they had already left the Xingdou Great Forest, and the aura of the 100,000-year-old soul beast could no longer be detected behind them.

Arriving here, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Zhang Lexuan. She looked a little uneasy because of what happened just now, and was looking in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After all, he is a person with background.

Lin Xiao sighed inwardly. With this kind of defensive measure, even against a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, there's still a chance for respite. Even if someone could withstand the blow, they'd have to consider the person behind Zhang Lexuan. This was far superior to his own teacher, who would abandon his disciples and run away alone.
