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

Lin Xiao glanced in the direction of Shrek Academy. Their people had no intention of leaving. They were probably waiting for Ma Xiaotao to fully recover.

Just thinking back to the changes that happened to Ma Xiaotao at that time, it might not be that easy to fully recover.

Retracting his gaze, Lin Xiao followed the people from the Xingluo Empire towards their new residence. However, he had only taken a few steps when he saw a shadow slowly floating towards him.

Lin Xiao looked straight ahead, pretending not to see anything. A moment later, the voice of Wanhun Douluo sounded in his ears.

"The leader has issued an order. The disciples of the sect are to prepare for the birth of the Saint. Once Shrek Academy leaves Xingluo City, they will immediately welcome the Saint back to the sect."

"Keep an eye on the Saint's movements these few days. If you discover they are leaving early, inform me immediately."

Lin Xiao glanced around and nodded imperceptibly.

Zhongli Wu and Wanhun Douluo were indeed here to test Ma Xiaotao.

There is the Star Luo Empire's Protector Douluo in Star Luo City. If he takes action during the Soul Fighting Competition, it will naturally cause the Star Luo Empire to take action.

But as long as the Soul Fighting Competition is over, the Holy Spirit Cult will only have to deal with Xuan Zi, and it seems that Zhongli Wu is already prepared.

Although some accidents occurred in the Star Emperor Hotel, fortunately no contestants were injured and the Fighting Spirit Competition was held as scheduled.

As the Soul Fighting Tournament progressed, fewer and fewer teams remained on the field, until only Shrek Academy, which had won the championship for several consecutive years, and the Sun-Moon Empire Royal Soul Instructor Academy, which had challenged but failed time and time again, were left.

"Senior."

Early in the morning, with still some time before the finals began, the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy had already gathered in the conference room.

As soon as Lin Xiao walked in, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"How did you sleep last night?" Lin Xiao laughed.

"Yeah, I had a good rest." Ma Rulong, Micah and others nodded.

"That's good." Lin Xiao's eyes swept across everyone and lingered on one of the students for a moment.

"There's one more thing I need to explain. The invincible shield isn't invincible. Although I don't completely agree with Shrek Academy's teaching methods, I do agree on one thing: over-reliance on the invincible shield will make you lose your sense of external danger."

Lin Xiao sighed inwardly. In his memory, a student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy died in Ma Xiaotao's flames the moment his invincible shield disappeared because he relied too much on it.

After spending so many days with these classmates, I should try to remind them of some things.

While everyone was talking, the door of the conference room was suddenly knocked and Ma Rulong's father appeared outside.

"Teacher Ma."

"Well, luckily I made it in time. It seems I'm not too late." Ma Rulong's father breathed a sigh of relief and took two steps forward to stand in front of Ma Rulong. "I have received the news that the Xinghuang Hotel was attacked. This is the soul guide I specially prepared."

As he spoke, the storage soul guide in his hand flashed, and a huge sword appeared in his hand.

The moment Lin Xiao saw the giant sword, his eyes moved slightly, and a name suddenly came to his mind: Sword of Judgment.

"Father, what is this?"

Ma Rulong took the giant sword in a daze and spoke with some confusion.

"According to the information you sent back, I have discussed with the teachers of the academy that the martial spirit of the student with the highest spirit power in Shrek Academy is not pure. Although I don't know the reason, there must be a power within her body that she cannot fully control."

"And this Sword of Judgment uses its dark power to draw out the darkness within the opponent, and then uses the power of light to judge them. It's just the right weapon to deal with that contestant."

Ma Rulong's father's expression turned cold. "This is an eighth-level soul guide. You need to use the power of the memorial chapter to activate it."

"Teacher Ma, the memorial chapter will affect the life span of the user. The captain..." Micah stepped forward to advise him, but under the gaze of Ma Rulong's father, he did not say the rest of the words.

"Remember, this time, you are not allowed to fail."

"I understand, father." Ma Rulong nodded and put away the Sword of Judgment.

"Okay." Ma Rulong's father nodded with satisfaction. "It's almost time, let's go."

"Senior..." Seeing Ma Rulong's father leave first, Micah looked at Lin Xiao.

"It's okay. I probably won't have a chance to use this sword."

Lin Xiao shook his head gently, and Micah felt relieved and followed him.

Soldiers stood in rows outside Xingluo Square, and crowds of people on both sides kept shouting the name of Shrek Academy. A group of people from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy walked on the street with unhappy expressions.

"It's okay. This is the Xingluo Empire after all. They certainly don't want to see us win. Once you win this game, someone will naturally call out your name."

Lin Xiao smiled and comforted him.

"Senior, why do you look more confident than us?" Ma Rulong looked back.

"If I say I have guessed Shrek Academy's tactics, would you believe me?"

When Ma Rulong's father heard Lin Xiao's words, he looked back and shook his head with some dissatisfaction.

He had studied Shrek Academy for so many years but he still couldn't say he had seen through their tactics. Young people really didn't know how to speak in moderation.

"Really?"

However, to his surprise, Ma Rulong did not have the slightest doubt and his eyes lit up.

Chapter 144 First Appearance

Ma Rulong's father looked back in some surprise. He always felt that during the time he was away, some changes that he didn't know about seemed to have happened in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy team.

Before he could figure it out, everyone had already arrived at the rest area. On the distant city wall, Xu Jiawei and a group of ministers from the Star Luo Empire had already taken their seats. On the other side of the arena, everyone from Shrek Academy had also sat down.

"The finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition are about to begin. I, Huang Jinxu, will be the referee. Now, I will announce the rules of the finals."

"The finals consist of a team competition, an individual elimination round, and a two-two-three match format, with two wins out of three. The team competition..."

Referee Huang Jinxu's voice echoed from the arena. Ma Rulong's father turned around and looked at the students. "There have been so many editions of the Fighting Spirit Competition. Although the specific rules of each competition may vary slightly, the finals all follow the same format."

"In the first team match, our Soul Master's advantage will be magnified. Therefore, if we want to win, we must win the first team match. Do you understand?"

The students nodded, and then their eyes focused on Lin Xiao.

Ma Rulong's father frowned. It had only been a short time, but he felt that in the hearts of these students, Lin Xiao had become the real team leader.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao smiled at Ma Rulong's father.

In fact, it’s not their fault. After all, he has memories of his previous life and has a lot of information about the teams participating in the competition.

In addition to the training method of the Holy Spirit Church, he had no idea how many actual battles he had experienced since he was a child. Therefore, just by sitting in the rest area and taking a look, combined with his memories of his previous life, he could guess the capabilities and tactics of the team on the stage.

Especially the match between Shrek Academy and Star Luo Empire Royal Academy in the semi-finals. The whole process of the match was almost within Lin Xiao's expectations. In the eyes of students like Ma Rulong, he had already replaced the position of the team leader.

Glancing far to the west, Lin Xiao realized that some people in the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy might still be concerned about the outcome of this match. He collected his thoughts and stopped being polite.

If he really only analyzed the tactics of other teams, he might not be able to compare with a professional team leader like Ma Rulong's father.

But facing the Shrek Academy in front of him, no one in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy knew it better than him.

"Teacher Ma is right." Lin Xiao nodded. "In team competitions, our soul masters naturally have an advantage. I think Shrek Academy is also aware of this."

"Some tactics have been hidden until now, so they're ready for use. At this point in the finals, there's no need to keep them hidden. When the teamfight begins, maximize your firepower advantage."

"However, the team competition, individual competition, and the subsequent 223 will all be completed within one day, so remember to save your status."

Lin Xiao said, looking towards the direction of Shrek Academy across from him, "I guess Shrek Academy knows the advantages of soul masters and won't fight with all their might in team battles."

Ma Rulong's father glanced at Lin Xiao with dissatisfaction. "We have the advantage in the team competition. Isn't it time to give it our all? What if something unexpected happens?"

"Teacher Ma, please let me play later." Before Lin Xiao could speak, Xiao Hongchen stood up and said, "As for the tactics, follow what Senior Lin said. I will ensure that there will be no accidents."

Ma Rulong's father opened his mouth but didn't continue speaking. He was obviously a little afraid of Xiao Hongchen. He looked at Lin Xiao again and then turned his head away again.

Xiao Hongchen retracted his gaze and looked at Lin Xiao, "Senior Lin, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"No more." Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head. "As for the remaining situations on the ring, I think Captain Ma will handle them."

"Team members of both teams are coming on stage." Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu calculated the time, and his voice spread far away. In the rest areas on both sides of the ring, a total of fourteen contestants stood up at the same time and walked towards the ring.

"Remember your positions. Be wary of their position-switching spirit ability." Ma Rulong led the Sun Moon Royal Spirit Guidance Academy's group toward the arena, whispering a few more words, "Do you remember what to do if you're switched?"

"Yeah." The other team members nodded, and Ma Rulong walked onto the stage with confidence.

The three regular Shrek Academy players have all entered the ring. The atmosphere on the ring has become slightly tense. Ma Xiaotao's face looks normal. It seems that with Huo Yuhao's help, she has recovered from the effects of the past few days.

"The game begins..."

Just as the two contestants took their positions on both sides of the ring, Huang Jinxu's voice resounded throughout the Xingluo Square.

The next moment, countless light balls condensed from soul power were released through the soul guide, like a peacock spreading its tail. The sky full of light instantly filled the entire arena, and with a shrill whistle, it headed straight for Shrek Academy.

This is the tactic most commonly used by the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy in team competitions, and it is also the tactic that fully demonstrates the advantages of soul guides.

Strong suppression and continuous attacks are enough to force the opponent off the ring.

Shrek Academy would certainly not sit still and wait for death. At the same time as those light balls rose into the sky, Dai Yueheng also soared into the sky. The fourth soul ring around him shone brightly, and the range-type soul skill White Tiger Meteor Shower was performed, colliding with the light balls in the sky.

A violent roar sounded, and the impact caused by the explosion continued to fall on the soul guide shield outside the ring, causing ripples.

Amidst the explosions, the second round of attacks from both sides came at the same time as if they had agreed on it.

With a phoenix cry, Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Meteor Shower also blocked the attacks of a large number of soul guides.

Below the ring, Wang Yan was sitting in the rest area of ​​Shrek Academy, his eyes fixed on the ring, but he did not look too nervous.

Up to this point, the situation on the stage had been within his expectations. As the head teacher of Shrek Academy, he was naturally aware of the advantages of soul guides. Therefore, he had no intention of winning the first team battle, but only intended to deplete the combat power of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy.

However, the next moment, his expression changed instantly.

There was another volley of shots, and the faces of Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng on the ring changed.

The light and sound of the explosion obscured their perception of the direction of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, but they could feel that the enemy's firepower had more than doubled in an instant.

On the top of the city wall, Xu Jiawei leaned forward slightly, pressing his palm tightly on the wall, leaving a shallow mark.

"Is this the latest soul guide of the Sun-Moon Empire?"

As an emperor, he saw far more than just the performance in the ring, but also the role in war.

Chapter 145 Attrition

What can instantly double the attack of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy is naturally the self-propelled soul guide cannon they carry.

Although these self-propelled soul-guided cannons cannot truly be "self-propelled" in their hands, they are more than enough to provide fire coverage.

At the beginning, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng were able to barely resist with their range-type soul skills, but when two self-propelled soul cannons appeared under the feet of each player from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, some attacks still fell into the Shrek Academy's formation.

Xu Sanshi raised his shield to block a beam of light falling from the sky, but his feet took several steps back uncontrollably.
