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

"It's not impossible. After all, the Soul Fighting Competition only stipulates the participants, not the instructors. But why did the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy suddenly change the instructor? Is there some hidden strategy?"

Wang Yan lowered his head in thought. Suddenly, he noticed the looks the other students were giving him. His brows relaxed immediately, and he smiled at them. "Well, no matter what tactics our opponents have, the fact that you've made it this far has already exceeded my expectations. It's quite remarkable."

"Whether you win or lose in the following games, you will always be the best kids in my heart."

Everyone from Shrek Academy had smiles on their faces. The older ones could actually see that Wang Yan still attached great importance to the final victory or else he wouldn't be so concerned about the personnel changes in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.

But it was not easy to say it out loud at this time, so I just laughed along with everyone else.

Only the three selected players smiled somewhat reluctantly. They were supposed to represent Shrek Academy in the Fighting Spirit Competition and win the championship as in previous years.

But because of an accident, I couldn't play and even had to rely on a group of reserve players to support the team, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.

"Senior, the one sitting in the front row is called Dai Yueheng. He was the captain of the Shrek Academy reserve team in the previous class, and the female student next to him has never appeared."

Ma Rulong was also introducing the Shrek people to Lin Xiao. "They haven't shown up since the Soul Fighting Competition started. They suddenly came here today. I'm afraid they're going to go on stage."

"Well, let's take this opportunity to take a good look." Lin Xiao nodded and glanced at the audience behind him.

I don’t know if the Holy Spirit Church has sent other people here to watch the Soul Fighting Competition. Maybe they can see something from Ma Xiaotao.

In the Shrek Academy preparation area, He Caitou would turn his head from time to time to glance towards the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. When he looked away again, he happened to see Huo Yuhao staring at him with a puzzled look on his face.

"Brother He, what did you find?"

"No." He Caitou scratched his head honestly, "I just felt that the guy from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy looked familiar. I felt like I'd seen him before."

Huo Yuhao followed He Caitou's gaze and lowered his voice, "Brother He, is it about your background..."

"Probably not, I can't remember clearly."

Chapter 140 Guess

"Soul Fighting Competition, the first match of the top 8 of 16, the Douling Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy versus the previous champion, Shrek Academy!"

The referee's voice rang out from the ring, and the audience's cheers followed, one wave higher than the other, and the whole venue suddenly became lively.

Ma Rulong watched the seven Shrek Academy members file onto the stage and moved a little closer. "Senior, their regular players are finally going to play."

Lin Xiao nodded, without moving his eyes away from the ring, "I think you could pay attention to the last two children."

"They?" Ma Rulong frowned. "Senior, apart from the first few matches where one kid somehow simulated six hundred thousand year spirit rings, there's nothing particularly impressive about them. Their cultivation levels are only a Soul Venerable and a Great Soul Master."

"Yes." Lin Xiao smiled. "So even we know that those two kids are only a Soul Master and a Great Soul Master, so why did Shrek Academy send them into battle instead of someone with a higher level of cultivation?"

"Is it a martial soul fusion technique?" Ma Rulong asked uncertainly, "We discussed this with father before. The two of them have performed a powerful soul control technique."

"Perhaps. However, in a team competition with only seven people, sacrificing two positions just to perform a spirit fusion technique is a bit of a stretch. Perhaps their positions in the team are more important than we expected."

Lin Xiao withdrew his gaze and glanced at Ma Rulong.

There were some things he couldn't bring out clearly, so he could only say so much. As for how much Ma Rulong took in, that was his own business. After all, he wasn't the team leader, so some arrangements still had to be made by Ma Rulong himself.

"Game start!"

On the ring, at the referee's command, the dazzling phoenix flames rose up almost instantly. The protective shield around the ring blocked the terrifying high temperature, but it had caused the surrounding air to distort continuously. Looking from outside the protective shield, the figures inside were actually blurred.

The torment of more than half a month had made Ma Xiaotao and the other two feel suffocated. Now that they were on the stage, they no longer cared about tactics and just wanted to vent all the frustration in their hearts.

Below the ring, Wang Yan suddenly sat up straight, his face becoming extremely serious. He knew in his heart that Ma Xiaotao and the others had completely forgotten his tactics. Then, he looked towards Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao still smiled and nodded at Wang Yan, but this smile made his face look even uglier.

"Senior, this..."

Wang Yan was not the only one with a grim expression. When he first didn't know the strength of the three regular players from Shrek Academy, Ma Rulong always wanted to let those three take action as soon as possible to find out their strength.

But when he saw it with his own eyes, he didn't want them to take action anymore.

"It's Shrek Academy after all."

Lin Xiao also sighed softly. This year's class had Ma Xiaotao, the previous class had Zhang Lexuan. Shrek Academy's inner court disciples also had to complete monitoring duties. Even with the many casualties, they were still able to ensure that each class had at least one such gifted disciple.

Not to mention their training methods, at least the talents of their students are indeed better than those of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Lin Xiao looked at Ma Rulong with a smile.

"No." Ma Rulong's expression had calmed down and he slowly shook his head. "If we can't even defeat their three regular players, we won't have any chance in the future."

"It's good to have confidence. Prepare well."

Lin Xiao looked back at the arena. As the soul rings around Xu Sanshi lit up one after another, Ma Xiaotao had been replaced by Xu Sanshi's Xuanming and sent into the Douling Academy formation. Then a phoenix cry resounded throughout the arena.

"That Soul Master of theirs is very powerful. That soul skill should be able to swap positions with others. It was originally used to change positions to protect teammates, but he can use it to actively attack."

"Yeah, that's really impressive." Lin Xiao glanced in the direction of Douling Academy. "You see, Douling Academy wasn't unprepared. They'd already used soul guides to block their sight, but he was still able to accurately hit the people behind him."

Ma Rulong nodded after hearing what Lin Xiao said, but soon stopped and realized, "Senior, are you saying that his soul skill doesn't rely on the eyes to lock onto the opponent?"

"I'm just guessing." Lin Xiao smiled. "Haven't you discussed this with Teacher Ma before?"

"No." Ma Rulong shook his head. "Before, we just thought that the Soul Sect's performance was quite good, but after what you said, I also realized that he didn't seem to have determined the target when he used his soul skills."

"That soul skill is similar to our soul guide rays, and there's no way to control the direction. He shouldn't be so confident every time he uses it. He should even target the opponent's key position every time."

“Maybe…” Ma Rulong hesitated, his gaze finally shifting slowly to Huo Yuhao, who was standing behind the Shrek Academy formation. “Maybe someone else is helping him aim.”

The soul skills of soul masters are varied and the role that some auxiliary soul masters can play is completely unpredictable.

Although the Sun-Moon Empire is more proficient in soul guides, the Sun-Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent have collided for thousands of years, and the people of the Sun-Moon Empire have been somewhat affected and have also done some research on martial spirits.

Although it sounds a bit unexpected, there might really be auxiliary soul skills that can help other soul masters determine the targets of their soul skills.

In the previous few games, the others had more or less displayed their soul skills, and Ma Rulong had a rough assessment of them.

Only Huo Yuhao, from the initial six hundred thousand year soul rings to the later two ten year soul rings, although he was on the field, he had nothing outstanding except that he had a martial soul fusion skill with Wang Dong.

Originally, it was thought that he was arranged to play because he and Wang Dong had a spirit fusion skill, but now it seems that, perhaps as Lin Xiao said, Huo Yuhao has a higher status in the Shrek Academy team.

After all, if there really is such a strange auxiliary soul skill, it would only be possible for Huo Yuhao, who has never been able to see what soul skill he has used.

On the other side, Mika, who had hunted spirit rings with Lin Xiao before, glanced at Ma Rulong, who was thinking hard, and gave Lin Xiao a thumbs up. "Senior, you are amazing. You made the captain look like this with just a few words."

"Just watch the game carefully. I'm just guessing. The facts still need to be verified." Lin Xiao cursed with a smile and looked at Ma Rulong beside him.

Whether the result Lin Jiayi wants to see will appear depends on how much Ma Longru, the captain, can think of.

He didn't look at the situation on the ring anymore. From the moment Ma Xiaotao entered the Douling Academy formation, the outcome of the game was no longer in doubt.

Perhaps it was because of the pent-up anger in her heart, or perhaps it was because Huo Yuhao made Ma Xiaotao worry-free, she poured out her power without reservation, and the evil intent in it was extremely dazzling in the eyes of the evil soul master.

And the Holy Spirit Church has probably found their "Saintess".

"Let's go. There is only one match in the morning. Let's go back." Lin Xiao stood up without waiting for the people on the ring to leave.

Chapter 141 Night Detective

Compared to the brilliant performance of the Shrek Academy's regular players in the morning, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy's performance was only mediocre, defeating their opponents without any highlights.

After the competition, when Lin Xiao was meditating in the hotel like other students, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura.

Although the man had covered up, Lin Xiao still sensed the aura that was inadvertently leaked when he sneaked into the Star King Hotel.

However, before he could make any move, another figure quietly appeared in front of him.

After seeing who was coming, Lin Xiao's expression suddenly changed.

"See the leader."

"Ah."

The person who came was Zhongli Wu. His eyes swept across the room and finally stopped on Lin Xiao.

"You were the one who spread the news about the hundred thousand year soul beast?"

"Replying to the Sect Leader, it was the Fifth Elder who released the news, but it was indeed the disciple's idea."

"Well done." Zhongli Wu nodded slightly, then looked across the room in the direction of Shrek Academy.

"It seems someone can no longer hold back. The church will make some moves soon. You should act accordingly."

"Yes, Master." Lin Xiao clasped his fists and nodded heavily.

In a room not far from Lin Xiao, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were sitting on the bed, their palms pressed together, and soul power continuously flowing through their bodies.

However, before they noticed, an old man who looked to be in his sixties appeared beside their bed and reached out to grab Huo Yuhao.

"Who?"

In Huo Yuhao’s sea of ​​consciousness, the Ice Emperor who was resting suddenly became alert and shouted loudly, waking Huo Yuhao from his meditation.

However, just as he opened his eyes, he saw a short figure grabbing towards him. A suffocating and terrifying soul power filled the air, making him unable to move at all.

"Heh, you're quite alert. Tell me, which of the ten fierce beasts transformed into a human is you?"

"What are the ten most ferocious beasts? Senior, I don't know what you are talking about." Huo Yuhao looked puzzled.

"Still trying to trick me?" The old man chuckled. "There are more than one person in Xingluo City who has made this judgment, but they are reluctant to take action because of the reputation of Shrek Academy."

"I am Cheng Gang, the Protector of the Xingluo Empire. Unlike them, even Shrek Academy cannot tolerate the appearance of a hundred thousand year old soul beast among humans."

Huo Yuhao was stunned. "Senior, even if a hundred thousand year old soul beast transforms, when it chooses to become a human, it is no different from other soul masters. Moreover, I am not the hundred thousand year old soul beast that you mentioned."

Cheng Gang's face changed. "You still dare to quibble? If you refuse to show yourself, I will deal with you and you will see the result."

As he spoke, he grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand even harder.

However, in the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside him and grabbed his wrist.

Cheng Gang pulled hard twice, but as a Titled Douluo, his wrist remained motionless.

"Who are you? Do you want to be an enemy of the Xingluo Empire?"

"I'm your father!" A voice suddenly sounded in Cheng Gang's ears, and then the whole person's figure flew up uncontrollably.

The next moment, his body was slammed hard on the floor, making a loud noise.

"Even if your emperor were here, he would have to give me some respect. Besides, you can't even represent the Xingluo Empire."

"You keep saying you don't tolerate soul beasts, but you, a person who only covets soul rings and soul bones, actually dare to bully Shrek Academy?"

Cheng Gang's face flushed red after hearing these two words. His soul power was useless in front of the man in front of him. He could only utter one sentence, "Are you from Shrek Academy?"

"What else? Do you really think I'm your father?"
