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

"is teacher."

Lin Xiao put down the things in his hands and stood up. As for the things he needed to pack, they had already been prepared. With a storage soul guide, going out was indeed much more convenient.

"Don't underestimate the practical lessons. Soul guides can be used for more than just combat. You should be used to storage soul guides by now. In the wild, things like exploration soul guides are also quite useful."

Lin Jiayi was the first to walk out the door. "I won't take action unless it's a critical moment. It's up to you to decide how to make good use of the soul guide and how to act."

"We?" Lin Xiao asked in surprise, "Teacher, are there others?"

"That's right. How could the academy let students go out alone? Normally, they would work in teams, either testing soul guides together, or like this time, helping students hunt for spirit rings while testing soul guides."

Lin Jiayi thought it was Lin Xiao who was worried about safety. "Don't worry, we are going to the Jingyang Mountains not far from the academy. With the teacher here, there is no need to worry about encountering any danger."

Lin Xiao was not worried about this, but after thinking about it, he followed.

"Hello, Director Lin."

At the entrance of the academy, there were already three figures waiting here. After seeing Lin Jiayi, they spoke in unison.

"Yeah." Lin Jiayi glanced at them and turned back to look at Lin Xiao, "Come, let's meet them. These two are Ma Rulong and Mijia. You don't go out much, so you don't know them, but they are quite famous in the academy. They are the preliminaries for this Douluo Competition."

Ma Rulong is tall and two years younger than Lin Xiao, but he is taller than him. Micah on the other side looks inconspicuous.

"You are obtaining the spirit rings this time probably for the upcoming spirit fighting competition, right?" Lin Jiayi said with a smile.

"Yes, Director Lin, this time I need the fourth spirit ring, and Micah needs the third spirit ring. After we have obtained the spirit rings, we will prepare to participate in the fighting spirit competition."

"Good, keep up the good work." Lin Jiayi said, looking at the last person, "You should be familiar with her. I just met her a few days ago."

"Yeah." Lin Xiao nodded and looked at Orange who appeared here, "She should be Teacher Xuan's disciple."

Orange was wearing the school uniform of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy and looked quite well-behaved, completely different from the one she had appeared in the Second Prince's residence a few days ago.

"That's right. Teacher Xuan asked me to help her find a suitable second spirit ring. This child's cultivation has been at a bottleneck for a long time, and I don't know why she still doesn't have a second spirit ring." Lin Jiayi said and pointed at Lin Xiao, "This is Lin Xiao, follow me and learn."

"Senior Lin." Ma Rulong was quite polite. After greeting him, he couldn't help but speak, "Senior Lin, you were the one who defeated Senior Ji Juechen last semester, right?"

Lin Xiao raised his brows slightly. He hadn't expected himself to be quite famous in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. "It was just a fluke. I was actually prepared to lose at that time."

Micah's eyes lit up as well, but Orange had just entered the academy and didn't know who Ji Juechen was, nor did he recognize Lin Xiao.

"Okay, let's talk while we walk." Lin Jiayi said, leading a few people to the outside of Mingdu City. "The spirit rings you three need are not too old, so let Lin Xiao help you and try out the latest spirit guides."

Several of them had some cultivation experience. Even Orange, who had the lowest cultivation level, had a soul power level of twenty. Naturally, his steps were not slow, and he appeared outside Mingdu soon.

Without the no-fly zone restriction, the wings of the flying soul guide behind Lin Jiayi slowly spread out, and a film of light emerged to protect Lin Xiao and the others, and then they rushed into the air together.

Although Lin Xiao knew that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy had this technology, he still felt a bit novel when he experienced it himself, and was somewhat curious about how this soul guide device was made.

"Lin Xiao, you have the highest level of cultivation, so please take good care of your fellow students along the way."

Lin Xiao turned around when he heard that and saw three pairs of eyes falling on him. He paused for a moment, but still nodded.

He had been in this world for more than ten years and had killed many people, but this was his first time taking care of someone. He had been getting along with people from the Holy Spirit Church for so long that he had almost forgotten how a normal person in this world should live.

"I understand, teacher."

"Well, I've already given you that soul guide. The parts have different uses. Make good use of them when dealing with soul beasts. If you find any flaws, tell me when you come back."

While Lin Jiayi was giving instructions, he would occasionally answer the questions they had about the soul guides. In less than half a day, an endless mountain range appeared before them.

Chapter 60 Exposed

As a gathering place for soul beasts, although it is not as vast as the Star Dou Great Forest, the Jingyang Mountains also cover a large area and contain rich mineral veins. Occasionally, very special soul beasts will appear.

After they landed, Lin Jiayi followed his previous agreement and stopped accompanying Lin Xiao and the others. Although he was there to protect their safety, with him by their side, they naturally acted differently because they had someone to rely on.

Lin Xiao looked around. Although this place was covered with vegetation, the plants were far less lush than those in the Star Dou Great Forest. Standing on the top of the mountain, the view was quite broad.

"How do you feel? There aren't many soul beasts here. If you need to prepare anything, you can do it here in advance."

Since Lin Jiayi asked him to take care of the others, Lin Xiao didn't hesitate and spoke first.

Ma Rulong and Mijia, who were standing by, looked quite experienced and were already equipping themselves with soul guides. Accidents were inevitable in the wild, and making do with temporary equipment was somewhat too late.

Juzi's cultivation was still shallow, and he had just entered the academy. Xuan Ziwen didn't seem like the kind of teacher who particularly cared about his disciples. He didn't take out much equipment, but just kept looking at the expressions of the other three people.

Because she had been fleeing from the war for a long time, observing people's words and expressions had become like instinct for her. Even though the people around her were nominally her classmates, she still felt a little uneasy.

Lin Xiao only needed a quick glance to guess what Orange was feeling. As a child in the Holy Spirit Church, he was surrounded by all sorts of evil spirit masters, and he had been through the same thing himself.

"You guys will follow behind me for a while. Ma Rulong, you have a higher level of cultivation, so walk at the back and help watch. Also, pay attention to exploring the soul guides. If you find anything, tell me immediately. I may have overlooked something."

"Okay senior."

As the captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy's Soul Fighting Competition reserve team, Ma Rulong is used to looking after other team members on a daily basis.

Seeing that the others were almost ready, Lin Xiao looked into the distance and it seemed that something was flying out from his body, but when he looked again, there was nothing.

"Let's go."

As they walked towards the mountains, the atmosphere around them began to change gradually. The places where soul beasts live are always somewhat different from the places where humans live.

"Senior, what type of soul guide are you?"

Lin Xiao had just pushed aside the branches blocking the way when he heard Micah's voice behind him.

"If I have to say, it should be considered the actual control direction. My level of making soul guides is very poor."

"So what kind of soul guide is senior good at? When I saw you fighting with Senior Ji before, I didn't seem to see you using any soul guide."

Lin Xiao looked back and asked, "Were you also in that battle?"

"Yeah." Micah nodded. "Actually, I'm also better at using soul guides, but I just haven't figured out which soul guide I should use. It seems like I like all of them, and they're all easy to use."

"Then try using them all. Being able to use all types of soul guides is a talent that many people envy."

Micah seemed to want to ask something, but Lin Xiao's expression suddenly changed. He raised his right hand high, and with a flash of blue light, a huge mechanical arm was already put on his right arm.

It’s just a little different from what I saw some time ago. The front end is not a mechanical arm, but a pitch-black gun muzzle.

Ma Rulong subconsciously glanced at the soul-detecting device in his hand, but found nothing. The next moment, the ground began to shake slightly, and a rumbling sound came from the front.

Lin Xiao turned around and looked at the other three people, hesitated, and then sighed.

Some things cannot be concealed sooner or later. This trip is to test the soul guide device, and now we have a ready-made target.

Then, he stepped forward and five soul rings of black, black, black, black, and black rose up one by one.

what?

The three people behind Lin Xiao's back suddenly widened their eyes, momentarily forgetting they were still in the Jingyang Mountains. Orange, in particular, couldn't control the expression on his face anymore and subconsciously took several steps back.

"boom--"

A roar sounded, and a dazzling beam of light shot out from the front of the mechanical arm. A passage instantly appeared in the trees in front. In that passage, a wild boar that was running towards the people here stopped and fell to the ground with a "thump". Soon, a deep purple soul ring slowly rose.

However, the others had no time to care about the thousand-year-old soul beast, and even ignored the huge mechanical arm. They just stared at the soul ring around Lin Xiao.

"How is this going?"

Lin Jiayi appeared beside Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao sighed and turned around, "Teacher, I asked for leave some time ago because of this matter."

"Are you saying that you left the academy to replace your spirit ring?" Lin Jiayi also stared intently.

As a soul engineer, although he is not as proficient in martial souls as a soul master, Lin Jiayi also knows that a soul master's soul ring cannot be replaced.

"It's not a replacement." Lin Xiao shook his head and said nothing more.

"Whatever it is, can your method be extended to other people?"

"No, and this approach is very risky."

In fact, with the style of the Holy Spirit Church, it would like all the soul masters on the entire continent to perform its soul ascension ceremony, but Lin Xiao naturally cannot say that.

Seeing Lin Jiayi fall silent, Lin Xiao slightly raised his hand, and an imperceptible figure disappeared among the nearby trees.

Everyone is greedy. Seeing the five ten-thousand-year soul rings on his body with his own eyes, Lin Xiao didn't know how Lin Jiayi would react, and whether he would force him to ask the reason.

Once things get out of hand, you can only find a way to get out of it first.

"Does the hall master know?"

Lin Xiao was already extremely alert, but he didn't expect Lin Jiayi to just ask this one question.

"The hall master... should also know." Jing Hongchen knew his own origins and could probably guess where the soul ring on his body came from.

"Is this the reason why the hall master doesn't allow you to participate in the Soul Fighting Competition?" Lin Jiayi touched his chin, as if talking to himself.

After a moment, his face turned serious and he looked at the others fiercely, "No one can mention what happened today outside of the Jingyang Mountains. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Director Lin."

Lin Jiayi patted Lin Xiao's shoulder again and said, "Okay, you guys continue."

Looking at Lin Jiayi's gradually disappearing back, Lin Xiao was also slightly dazed.

He thought of many possible outcomes, perhaps forcing him to ask where his ten thousand year spirit ring came from, or perhaps finding someone to dig out his secrets. However, he didn't expect Lin Jiayi to just brush it off so casually.

After a long silence, Lin Xiao finally came back to his senses.

It turned out that the Holy Spirit Church had already influenced him a lot without him realizing it. In fact, not everyone in this world was as selfish and unscrupulous as those evil soul masters.

Chapter 61 Night

After what happened just now, Lin Xiao and the others also became quiet.

Judging from the expressions of Ma Rulong and Mika, they obviously had a lot of questions to ask Lin Xiao, but because of Lin Jiayi's instructions just now, they held back.

Orange, who was standing aside, kept his eyes down and didn't look at Lin Xiao, but unconsciously kept some distance from him.

Lin Xiao didn't know what to say to them until he came to a wide place, looked at the sky, looked back at Orange, and then stopped.

"We've been traveling for almost a whole day, let's take a break. When you're in places where soul beasts are, try not to wait until your soul power is almost depleted before resting, to prevent any unexpected situations."

"Okay, senior." Ma Rulong responded, breaking the silence between the few people. He sat down with Micah and talked in a low voice.

Lin Xiao didn't listen carefully, but seeing how they looked at him from time to time, he could probably guess what they were talking about.

Glancing at Orange who was sitting alone nearby, he took two steps closer.

"Are you okay with your injuries?"
