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

It is almost a consensus in the soul master community that only external soul bones will grow with the soul master. He has never heard of a soul master's soul bone continuing to improve after absorbing the left arm bone.

Could it be that the soul bone of the gold-devouring beast can also be improved by absorbing metal like the gold-devouring beast itself?

Lin Xiao kept recalling the memories about the gold-devouring beast in his mind, but he couldn't recall any soul master who absorbed the soul bone of the gold-devouring beast having such a thing happen to him.

No, perhaps there actually is, but the spirit master won't necessarily tell others about this change. Unlike spirit rings, spirit bones can be plundered by others. The fact that spirit bones can grow is enough to make others think otherwise.

Lin Xiao withdrew his thoughts and his gaze fell back on his left arm.

In any case, this is a good thing. If it really matches my guess, I will have to pay more attention to those rare metals to feed it in the future.

After tidying up the room and sweeping the dirt off the bed, Lin Xiao opened the door as usual, but stopped immediately.

A figure was standing upright in front of his dormitory door, like a sharp blade stuck in the ground. As soon as he opened the door, a sharp aura came towards him.

Ji Juechen.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the people outside. In fact, ever since he defeated Ji Juechen in the ring, he had expected this scene to happen.

It seems that Ji Juechen must have looked for him more than once, but he was not often in the college some time ago, so Ji Juechen came directly to the dormitory to block him.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Ah."

Lin Xiao greeted him with a smile, but Ji Juechen remained calm.

Lin Xiao didn't find it strange. The man before him had eyes only for the sword, a true martial arts fanatic. He didn't dislike this personality; on the contrary, he wanted to spar with him.

Ever since Ji Juechen helped Lin Xiao break the ban last time, he has understood the feeling of "intention" to a certain extent, and he also needs someone to help him verify his insights.

"Do you have time now? I want to fight with you again." For Ji Juechen, it was a rare thing to say such a sentence.

"Of course, no problem." Lin Xiao nodded, "But I don't want to go to the Soul Guidance Experiment Area Arena. Let's find a secluded place."

"Okay." Ji Juechen didn't ask any more questions and nodded in agreement.

As the most outstanding soul guide academy in the Sun-Moon Empire, the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy covers a large area, but it is not easy to find a secluded place there. Many couples were disturbed by Lin Xiao and Ji Juechen along the way.

After a lot of effort, the two finally found an open space.

Seeing Ji Juechen standing opposite, Lin Xiao first looked up at the dark place where no one was paying attention, and then he fixed his gaze on Ji Juechen in front of him.

Just as Lin Xiao's gaze swept across the place, a guard was slightly stunned.

Did he find me?

There are many children of nobles in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, so the academy naturally has to pay attention to their safety. In the soul guidance experimental area, there are always teachers responsible for the safety of the academy during competitions, and in some remote places, there will be guards passing by from time to time.

Lin Xiao and Ji Juechen's somewhat strange whereabouts naturally attracted the attention of the guards. Seeing that the two of them had been avoiding other people, he became curious and followed them.

Just looking at the situation before me...are these two going to spar or fight? If they're sparring, why don't they go to the ring?

Just as the guard was debating whether to step forward and pull the two apart, the following scene made him freeze in place.

With five black ten-thousand-year soul rings, he suddenly understood why Lin Xiao and Ji Juechen wanted to avoid other people.

Afterwards, the guard saw the two people walking towards each other. The next moment, he felt a chill on his body. Ji Juechen was already sitting cross-legged on the spot, as if he had entered into meditation. Only Lin Xiao was standing aside, not knowing what he was doing.

That's it, the fight is over?

Yes, it's over.

If Lin Xiao knew the guard's doubts, he would tell him so.

The collision of thoughts happened in an instant, but what seemed like a moment to the guard was a very long time in the eyes of Lin Xiao and Ji Juechen.

After seeing Lin Xiao's soul ring, Ji Juechen was slightly stunned, but he quickly calmed down. He never cared about the strength of his opponent, and only had his sword in his eyes.

Lin Xiao also didn't want to use the power of his ten thousand year soul skills to suppress Ji Juechen. He wanted to hone his rough understanding of the meaning of fighting with Ji Juechen.

Unlike Ji Juechen, Lin Xiao's mind is not that pure. Neither the memories of his previous life nor the environment of the Holy Spirit Church can make him focus all his attention on one thing as quietly as Ji Juechen.

Therefore, Lin Xiao himself did not know what his "intention" should be.

However, he did not understand himself, but he knew his martial soul well enough. He did not know what kind of "intention" to incorporate into the attack, but he knew how to incorporate the power of the martial soul into the attack.

Chapter 72 Meaning

Lin Xiao once heard an interesting saying. Someone was asking what is the purpose of human life?

Someone answered: Seeking death.

Although it sounds ridiculous, it is also true. Even the illusory world of gods and the immortal gods will face disasters that even they cannot cope with. For ordinary people, death is a topic they can never escape.

All living things will eventually die. When the red spider lily blooms, the end is right in front of us.

Ji Juechen gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and the heavy sword in his hand seemed to fall slowly. Before the sword tip arrived, the sword intent had already spread out in all directions, and countless scratches appeared on the ground out of thin air. The invisible sword intent seemed to cut through all the surrounding air, making people feel a little labored when breathing.

Faced with Ji Juechen's fierce sword intent, Lin Xiao had no way to resist with his own will, but he brought the "will" of his martial soul into full play.

Without dodging or evading, he raised his hand to greet it. When the bright flower beside Lin Xiao bloomed in the air, Ji Juechen felt that the surrounding sky and earth faded, and in the silence, only the sound of the disappearance of all things rang in his ears.

Everything around him dissipated. The weeds beneath his feet, the invisible objects in the air, and even his concentrated mental strength rapidly withered away like aging, then met the moment of "death," vanishing into thin air.

The weeds under Lin Xiao's feet quickly died and spread to the surroundings. The already remote place became even quieter for a moment, as if even sound could not reach here.

Compared to their last fight, Ji Juechen could clearly feel that Lin Xiao's aura had changed significantly. Although Lin Xiao had completed the fusion of his mental and soul power last time, his grasp of "intention" was still very unfamiliar.

And now, as the two forces collided, Ji Juechen seemed to see another world in a trance, another world filled with only blood and deathly silence.

He knew that he had been defeated again.

"Thank you."

This collision only lasted for a brief moment in the guard's eyes. Ji Juechen seemed to be in a daze for a long time. He suddenly said thank you, then sat down on the spot and went into meditation.

Lin Xiao retracted his hand and looked at the palm of his hand. A blood-red mark was particularly conspicuous, and when he clenched his fist, he felt a hint of pain from the mark.

Looking at Ji Juechen who was already sitting on the ground, Lin Xiao sighed inwardly. In terms of understanding the will, he was far inferior to Ji Juechen. Ji Juechen didn't lose to his "will", but to his martial spirit.

Growing on the other side of the underworld, witnessing the cycle of life and death, this was the power of the Higanbana spirit itself. Lin Xiao simply integrated this power and its aura into his attack. Perhaps it was precisely because of this powerful spirit that Nightmare Douluo took a second look at it.

Lin Xiao was about to say something when he suddenly discovered that Ji Juechen's breathing had become very steady and he showed no reaction to any changes in the outside world.

Is this...an epiphanic deep meditation?

Lin Xiao opened his mouth, unsure how to comment. He only slightly envied Ji Juechen's state of mind. With such determination and purity, it was no wonder he had such a reward.

No one could predict how long the deep meditation would last, but Ji Juechen couldn't be allowed to continue sitting like this. Lin Xiao looked around, trying to see if he could find someone to help inform the academy.

However, in order to avoid his spirit ring being seen by too many people, he deliberately found a place with few people. It is really not easy to find someone now.

After thinking for a while, Lin Xiao's eyes swept over the place where the guard was hiding, then turned and ran away.

Let the guard look after him for a while, and he will go and tell Lin Jiayi first.

However, when he arrived near Lin Jiayi's soul guide laboratory, before he saw Lin Jiayi, he saw a young girl standing on tiptoe and looking inside. She looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.

Lin Xiao's footsteps startled the girl. She turned around and looked at Lin Xiao, and then her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Your name is Lin Xiao, right? Do you know where Ji Juechen went?" The girl said as she glanced behind Lin Xiao, but didn't see the person she was looking for. A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes again. "He said he wanted to spar with you today. I wonder if you met him?"

Lin Xiao probably guessed who this person was.

"I just fought him, and he gained something and went into deep meditation. I was thinking of finding someone to look after him."

"Ah?" Anxiety rose on the girl's face. "Where is he now? Is he at the ring?"

"No, if you want to find him, just follow the direction I came from. You'll probably see him when you get to a place where there are almost no people."

"I understand." The girl didn't think much about why Lin Xiao and Ji Juechen had to go to a remote place to fight. She responded hurriedly and ran in the direction where Lin Xiao came from.

But after running a few steps quickly, she seemed to realize something was wrong and turned around again, "By the way, my name is Jing Ziyan, thank you."

Seeing this, Lin Xiao shook his head slightly.

As expected, given Ji Juechen's personality, Jing Ziyan was the only one in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy who cared so much about him. It was a pity that Jing Ziyan's intentions were obvious to everyone, but Ji Juechen was the only one whose heart was solely focused on the sword.

"Why? I saw you shaking your head so early in the morning. Are you having any trouble?"

Lin Jiayi suddenly opened the door of the soul guide laboratory, and obviously noticed Lin Xiao outside the door.

"Teacher? I was just about to knock on the door." Lin Xiao did not hesitate and explained what had just happened with Ji Juechen.

Lin Jiayi was also a little impatient after hearing this, "Okay, I understand. I will go find other teachers to check on Ji Juechen's situation. You can read a book here first, or try the soul guide device."

"Yeah." Lin Xiao nodded and watched Lin Jiayi leave in a hurry.

Not to mention that Ji Juechen was specially recruited into Mingde Hall by Jing Hongchen because of his special way of practice. Even if it was other students, the appearance of deep meditation would be enough to attract the attention of Lin Jiayi, the dean of studies.

But no matter what, this is a rare opportunity for Ji Juechen.

Lin Xiao looked at his palm again. The mark on the palm still had not disappeared, but the pain was much relieved. So he collected his thoughts and looked at the table in front of him which was piled with various materials and drawings.

A lot has happened since the last fight with Ji Juechen, and Lin Xiao hasn't really calmed down and tried to make a soul guide for a long time.

The changes in his spirit rings, the improvement in his spirit power level, the control over his mental and spirit power after breaking the restriction, and his attempts at the soul... It seemed that he also needed to reflect on his own gains, and by the way, try to see if he had the opportunity to realize the ideas in his mind with his own hands.

Chapter 73 Self-Propelled Soul Guide Cannon

It took me a year to come to this realization.

Ever since the Holy Spirit Church started cooperating with Mingdu's two original underground forces, the Ordinary Alliance and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, some of their "businesses" have become more extensive.

Moreover, the three major forces cooperate with each other, and the Holy Spirit Church does not need to take action personally in some matters. There will be more suitable people in the Ordinary Alliance and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.

This also gave disciples like Lin Xiao in the Holy Spirit Church a lot more free time. In the past year, he rarely went to the branch temple, but practiced and studied like other ordinary students.

In the soul guide test area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy, Lin Xiao was rarely not learning how to use other soul guide devices. Instead, he was debugging the soul guide device on the table in a test room.

Lin Jiayi stood aside, quietly watching Lin Xiao's movements. When Lin Xiao's hands gradually slowed down, he spoke softly, "Are you ready?"

"Yeah." Lin Xiao let out a breath and nodded.

Lin Jiayi didn't say much. He walked to the side and pressed a button. Then, he saw a metal target slowly rising fifty meters away.

"Come on, let's try it."

"Okay, teacher." Lin Xiao picked up the soul guide on the table and placed it gently on the ground. After that, he did not send soul power into it. Instead, he took two steps back, raised his hand and pressed it on the table beside him, tapping it lightly twice.

The next moment, the soul guide device that Lin Xiao had just placed on the ground suddenly changed. Several wheels under the chassis began to rotate, driving the entire soul guide device to continuously adjust its position. Then, a gun barrel extended straight out from the top.

Lin Xiao looked at the target in the distance, his eyes moving slightly. The soul guide in front of him seemed to have received some signal. Suddenly, light condensed at the muzzle. In the blink of an eye, a soul guide ray crossed dozens of meters and knocked the metal target to the ground.
