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

Chapter 134 The Competition is Finally

At night, Lin Xiao sat on the bed in the dormitory and took out a black soul bone from the storage soul guide.

This was the soul bone from the 100,000-year-old Ghost-Faced Owl sacrificed during the Spirit Ascension Ceremony. It had been taken away by Sleepy Nightmare Douluo, and now, after many twists and turns, it had returned to Lin Xiao's hands.

His spirit power levels had been rising continuously before, and it took him a while to fully grasp the sudden increase in spirit power. Now that so much time has passed, it's time to absorb this spirit bone.

He lowered his head slightly and looked at the soul bone in his hand. It was emitting rays of light like ripples, like waves gently raised by a breeze across the water, or like wings.

The soul power flowed in the body, and the aura on the body seemed to be vaguely in harmony with the soul bone in the hand.

The soul ring and soul bone of the same soul beast are best absorbed by the same person. Although Lin Xiao does not have the soul ring of this ghost-faced owl, in fact, its power had long been integrated into other soul rings during the soul-raising ceremony.

Just holding it in your hand, you can already feel a faint sense of attraction.

With a long sigh, Lin Xiao no longer hesitated. He stretched out his soul power and touched the soul bone. Then, the soul bone turned into a stream of light and drilled into his left leg.

For a moment, vast soul power surged out from his soul bone and flowed towards the meridians throughout his body.

Feeling the soul power flowing in his body, Lin Xiao's face changed slightly. He did not use it to impact the soul power level, but tried to compress it further.

With the memories of his previous life, Lin Xiao was not completely ignorant of the cultivation of soul power. Even though Sleepy Douluo had not taught him much, he knew that a qualitative change would occur after his cultivation reached the Titled Douluo level.

That is the appearance of the soul core.

The so-called soul core is actually the manifestation of compressing soul power to a certain degree.

However, although he knew this, Lin Xiao had never tried it before, because his physical strength was far from being able to withstand the damage caused by the process of condensing the soul core.

His martial soul, the Higanbana, is a weapon martial soul and does not have the same physical benefits as a beast martial soul. Although he has used some rare treasures to surpass ordinary soul masters, his cultivation alone is far from comparable to that of a Titled Douluo.

But things are different now.

Back then in the Star Dou Great Forest, after being injured in the battle with the badger beast, he absorbed the 100,000-year soul ring.

The violent soul power continued to destroy his body, and it was Alex who used the power of the gold of life to help him withstand it.

Just as Alex said, destruction is followed by reconstruction. As his body was repeatedly destroyed by the hundred thousand year soul ring and then restored under the effect of the gold of life, each new flesh and blood would be tougher than the previous one.

As for the final effect, the seventh soul ring that can withstand 100,000 years is the best proof.

It's not that Lin Xiao is arrogant, but being able to withstand a hundred thousand year spirit ring, even if his physical strength is not as good as a true Titled Douluo, it is not far behind. Now, he can already try to make some attempts.

He did not have a senior guardian with deep soul power, so naturally he did not dare to try to condense the soul core easily, but he could try to gradually compress the soul power to lay some foundation for the future.

His mind was full of thoughts, but his hands did not stop moving at all. The soul power flowing into his body from the soul bone continued to flow through the meridians, merging with the original soul power, and under Lin Xiao's control, it transformed into a more powerful state.

A layer of black light spread out from his left leg, enveloping his entire body. Seven soul rings, six black and one red, spontaneously rose. The first five soul rings also seemed to emit a faint light, merging with the soul bone...

That night must have been a sleepless night for many people. The next morning, quite a few people gathered in the square of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.

Ma Rulong's father stood at the front, looking at Lin Jiayi beside him, "Director Lin, are you sure your disciple can complete the required soul guide in such a short time?"

Lin Jiayi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Teacher Ma. As soon as this is completed, I will have my disciples rush it to you."

"Okay." Ma Rulong's father nodded. "I'll send you a message once I've gathered enough information about Shrek Academy. I'll also send it along with the soul guide I applied for."

"Yes." Lin Jiayi nodded heavily, then looked at the students, "Classmates, the glory of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy rests on you."

“We will not let the college down.”

"Go."

There was no overly grand ceremony. Under the gaze of all the teachers, the two leading teachers led a group of students out of the college.

Lin Jiayi watched their backs as they left, and only slowly withdrew his gaze after a long time.

"Sorry, teacher, I'm late."

When Lin Xiao arrived, there were only a few teachers left in the square.

Lin Jiayi turned around after hearing this and said, "It's okay, I didn't intend to make it too grand. Why did you get up so late today? Are you too tired from the test yesterday?"

As Lin Jiayi spoke, he looked Lin Xiao up and down, and felt that there seemed to be some subtle changes in him, but he couldn't put his finger on it for a moment.

"Yes, a little bit." Lin Xiao responded.

"How was your rest? Yesterday, I showed Teacher Ma your self-propelled soul guide cannon. Maybe it can really be used in the arena. How many can you make in half a month?"

"I have some level five soul guide cannons here. If I use existing rechargeable soul guides to make level six, I can at least give them each one from now on."

"Okay." Lin Jiayi's eyes lit up, "Then I'll have to thank you for your hard work these few days."

"It doesn't matter." Lin Xiao looked at Lin Jiayi's expression and shook his head. His teacher really valued the outcome of this fighting spirit competition.

But it is not surprising. In the entire Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, there are not many people who do not want to defeat Shrek Academy. So much so that when the Soul Fighting Competition was held in Mingdu later, the Sun-Moon Empire even went so far as to modify the rules of the competition to facilitate the use of flying soul guides.

Perhaps the Fighting Spirit Competition has become the obsession of so many teachers in the academy.

Just as Lin Xiao was accompanying Lin Jiayi to the soul guide test area, a student glanced at him from a distance.

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. The student's soul was incomplete, very similar to the disciples of the Holy Spirit Church. It was clearly coming for him.

He calmly withdrew his gaze and sighed softly in his heart. Over the past few months, he had been studying soul guides with Lin Jiayi and preparing for the Mingde Hall assessment. It seemed that he had really become an ordinary student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.

But after all, he is different from the other students here.

"Teacher, let me prepare some materials first." Lin Xiao suddenly spoke.

"Well, if you need anything, just tell me."

Chapter 135 Welcoming the Saint

"Greetings, Lord Holy Envoy."

The Holy Spirit Sect disciple followed Lin Xiao from a distance until they reached a secluded place, then he slowly approached.

"You don't need to call me that in the academy. My name is Lin Xiao now."

"Yes." Although he responded, the Holy Spirit Sect disciple's expression was still very respectful.

"What do you want from me?"

"Master Lin Xiao, the Second Elder has sent an order, ordering all members of the sect above the seventh ring to be prepared."

"What preparations?" Lin Xiao's eyes flickered slightly. He had rarely visited the Holy Spirit Church branch in the past few months. The fact that Nangong Wan had sent someone to find him, and that all members above the seventh ring were dispatched, must have been no small matter.

"The elders have ordered that the Saint will soon return. All disciples above the seventh ring are ready to welcome her."

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. According to his memories from his past life, there were only two people who could be called Saints by the Holy Spirit Church: Ma Xiaotao, who possessed the Evil Fire Phoenix spirit, and Tang Ya, who had awakened the Devouring Attribute of the Blue Silver Grass.

At this time, Tang Ya should still be in Shrek Academy, so the saint Nangong Wan mentioned might only be Ma Xiaotao.

But where did the Holy Spirit Church meet Ma Xiaotao?

Lin Xiao walked forward slowly, and suddenly turned his head. "Where did the news come from? Did the elder say where we were going?"

"Your Excellency, I don't know the exact source of the news. I just heard it came from the Mingdou Mountains. The location of the action is probably related to the Xingluo Empire."

Xingluo Empire...Ma Xiaotao...Fighting Spirit Competition...

Lin Xiao's thoughts drifted far away. Something must have happened that caused some things to not go as he remembered.

No, changes are inevitable. After all, Alex is in his own sea of ​​​​spirituality at this time. If the people from Shrek Academy meet that evil soul master again, I am afraid that something different will happen.

But he had no way of guessing what exactly happened.

"Well, I know about this matter. I will go and tell the elders in person later. You can go back first."

"Yes, my lord."

The Holy Spirit Sect disciple responded, looked around, and seeing that there was no one nearby, he quickly walked to the side. Soon after, he became inconspicuous like other ordinary students.

Lin Xiao looked at his back from a distance, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Without the constraints of Sleepy Nightmare Douluo, I thought I would no longer be as restricted as before, but now it seems that as long as my strength is still insufficient, I will never be able to escape the fate of being controlled by others.

Lin Xiao clenched his fists slightly and walked away without saying a word.

In recent years, Xishui League is no longer a strange name to the people of Mingdu. Like Pingfan League, it even runs a lot of open businesses.

At night, Lin Xiao followed the address left by Nangong Wan and found an underground stadium.

As soon as I entered the door, a cheer came from the depths of the stadium, which even the soundproofing materials could not block.

There is also an arena here, but it is different from the arena of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. Only one person who steps onto the arena here can walk away alive.

I have to say that the Holy Spirit Church is quite good at doing business. No matter whether they are soul masters, soul mentors or ordinary people, the stimulation of blood always makes people excited and spend a lot of money on it.

"Hello, do you want to watch the game or play in person?" The receptionist at the door greeted him warmly, looking at him as if he were looking at a bag full of gold soul coins.

"I'm here to see the Second Elder." Lin Xiao pressed down the mask on his face and handed over a token. The receptionist at the door took it and his expression suddenly changed.

"My lord, please follow me."

Lin Xiao nodded and continued to follow without saying a word. After turning several directions along the corridor, he was finally led to a room.

"Sir, the elder is inside."

Lin Xiao nodded and then knocked on the door.

"come in."

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Nangong Wan counting the gold soul coins on the table with a smile on his face. After seeing Lin Xiao, his expression restrained a little.

"looking for me?"

"Elder, it's about the Saint."

Nangong Wan's face turned serious when he heard this, and he put away the gold soul coin. "It seems that you have received the news. Is there anything else you don't understand?"

"Elder, I don't know where we're going to start. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy has arranged for me to help them deliver some soul guides to the Soul Fighting Competition. I'm afraid..."

Nangong Wan's expression brightened, "Oh? It just so happens that the place where the Saint Lady appeared might be the Fighting Spirit Competition."

After looking at Lin Xiao again, Nangong Wan suddenly stood up and said, "You are qualified to know this matter. Come with me."

Lin Xiao followed and soon saw a familiar person.

That was the member of the Death Hand who had escaped from him.

But he didn't look well at this time. Half of his body had disappeared. There was no bleeding from the wound, but it was just charred. Although he was still unconscious, his face was flushed and he kept groaning in his throat.

"You should recognize him." Nangong Wan pointed at the man lying beside him, "This is a sign of evil fire entering the body."
