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

That’s right, Ye Yulin, a ninth-level soul engineer with the title “Starry Sky” who is unmatched in the field of high-altitude soul guidance equipment, also has his own troubles.

"Are you Lin Xiao?"

"Yes, Mr. Ye."

"Yes, I have seen your soul guide. Although it has some ingenuity, its essence is just a combination of the most basic soul guide cannon and a charging soul guide. If you want to break through to a higher level, you still need to work hard."

"Yes." Lin Xiao nodded. Ye Yulin was right. Although it wasn't obvious yet, if the self-propelled soul guide cannon wanted to break through to a higher level, it wouldn't be possible simply by increasing its power.

And if he remembered correctly, the Sun and Moon Divine Needle made by Ye Yulin was not only extremely powerful, but could also absorb energy from the sun and the moon to recharge, and had the ability to search for enemies over a large range. Even if he could only understand a general idea, these things would be enough for him to learn for a long time.

"Alright, I heard from the Hall Master that you previously interned at Mingde Hall. So, I don't need to explain everything here again. Just like before, go to the lab table outside. That's how you slowly accumulate experience in crafting soul guides."

Chapter 158 Great Elder

"Also, after officially entering Mingde Hall, there are some differences from before. All the materials you need to make soul guides, except for some particularly rare metals, will be provided by Mingde Hall."

"But correspondingly, you must also make at least two soul guides for Mingde Hall every month. I will inform you of the specific ones when the time comes."

Lin Xiao didn't say anything, but nodded quietly. Lin Jiayi had also told him about these things.

Mingdetang produces an unknown number of soul guides in a year. These soul guides will be used in various places, including the military. Occasionally, one or two will be lost and their whereabouts are unknown.

Of course, these soul guides were not all made by the eighth and ninth level soul guides in Mingde Hall. Some of them were also made by students for practice.

Of course, this practice is only compared to other more advanced soul guides. For other soul guides, even the level of the students in Mingde Hall has surpassed many people outside.

"If you have nothing else, you can go outside." Ye Yulin waved his hand, and Lin Xiao and Lin Jiayi did not stay for long.

"Starry Sky Douluo is a bit strict with the students, but you'll get used to it slowly."

Lin Xiao shook his head. He didn't think Ye Yulin was that strict. At most, his attitude was just average. It was much better than those people in the Holy Spirit Church.

"Study hard, then I'll go back." Lin Jiayi patted Lin Xiao's shoulder and turned to leave.

However, it seemed that he did not go outside, but went to Jing Hongchen's room, probably to see the students who participated in the Fighting Spirit Competition.

Lin Xiao didn't care too much and walked to the experimental table with ease. He was no longer unfamiliar with Mingde Hall.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed quickly. During this period, Ye Yulin brought Lin Xiao the blueprint of a soul guide device.

Other soul engineers might study it for a while before starting to work after seeing it, but for Lin Xiao, the soul guide device on the blueprint was very familiar to him.

That was the array soul guide cannon he had dabbled in before. Not only him, according to Lin Xiao's observation, most of the students in Mingde Hall were making this kind of array soul guide cannon.

Lin Xiao had already vaguely guessed the whereabouts of this batch of soul guide cannons, but he did not expect that the array of soul guide cannons that would appear on the battlefield a few years later in the Sun-Moon Empire had already been slowly being prepared from this time.

"Click——"

With a slight sound, all the parts in front of Lin Xiao were combined together seamlessly. As the soul power was injected, the various soul guide formations lit up one after another. Lin Xiao could feel his soul power flowing smoothly through them.

He breathed a sigh of relief, put away the soul guide cannon, checked the time, and then walked towards Ye Yulin's room.

"Teacher Ye, I have completed the soul guide."

"So fast?" Ye Yulin looked up at Lin Xiao, and the few strands of hair on his head swayed slightly.

After taking the soul guide from Lin Xiao and looking it over, Ye Yulin nodded, "Okay, that's enough. You have completed all the soul guides for this month. You can arrange the rest of your time on your own."

"Also, you know my nickname is 'Starry Sky'. After seeing your soul guide, my first impression was that it wasn't very flexible."

"With your current level of cultivation, it may be sufficient to handle most situations. However, once your level of cultivation is higher, the battlefield will not be limited to the ground. Therefore, my advice to you is to adapt it to a wider battlefield."

Ye Yulin said as he took out a stack of drawings from the table beside him.

"These are the designs I made when I was young. You should be able to see them in the academy's book collection. However, I've sorted some of them out for you, so you don't have to make another trip and waste unnecessary time."

"You can study it when you have time. I hope that the next time I see your soul guide, I can see that you have learned something from it."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Ye." Lin Xiao's eyes lit up. This was the manuscript of a ninth-level soul guide. Although it was a work from his youth, with Lin Xiao's current level of soul guide, he couldn't understand the secrets of a ninth-level soul guide in a short time.

"Well, let's go."

Ye Yulin waved his hand impatiently.

Lin Xiao didn't mind at all. Although his attitude was ordinary, he was really teaching him something.

The fact that Ye Yulin gave these to me meant that he believed I would be able to find a design that suits me from these. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he did point out a way forward.

After putting away the manuscript, I walked all the way to the outside of Mingde Hall. It was already late outside and the sun's rays were almost invisible.

Lin Xiao's face turned serious and he hurried out of the academy.

There's another big event tonight.

Southwest of Mingdu, the Demon Forest was dark. From time to time, the roar of soul beasts could be heard, followed by the chaotic sound of birds flapping their wings, which added a bit of terror.

The tall trees swayed in the wind, as if they were alive and waving their arms. The gloomy atmosphere made people who stepped into this place feel cold in their hearts.

However, Lin Xiao had already gotten used to it. He covered himself with a black cloak and walked skillfully to the Holy Spirit Church headquarters.

"Greetings, Lord Holy Envoy."

"Yeah." Lin Xiao nodded and was about to walk inside when a female voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Holy Envoy? Which elder's disciple are you?"

The voice was not pleasant, but Lin Xiao's heart was shocked unconsciously when he heard it. Before he could react, his body seemed to be ready to answer her.

The breath of death that permeated the sea of ​​​​spirituality moved slightly, and Lin Xiao quickly came back to his senses.

"That's right." The figure behind Lin Xiao did not get an answer, but she did not intend to ask any further questions. She just left two words and walked lightly into the headquarters.

The two disciples at the door were still standing there in a daze, and only came to their senses slowly after the figure had left for a long time.

"Greetings, Lord Holy Envoy."

Lin Xiao frowned slightly at the two people before him, who looked as if they had just seen him. He had been in the Holy Spirit Church for so many years, but he had never seen this person who had just entered. Just by speaking, he had such strange power, even changing the memories of these two disciples.

"Ah."

Nodding, Lin Xiao also stepped into the headquarters. In the corridor, he faintly smelled a hint of sea water, which seemed to be left by the person just now.

He walked forward and soon arrived at the headquarters hall. It took him some time to get here from Mingdu. At this time, a lot of people had gathered in the hall.

Zhongli Wu was sitting in the main seat, with the elders sitting on both sides. Lin Xiao's eyes slowly swept around and his body suddenly paused.

Elders Wanhun and Jiamian, who were on missions and unable to arrive at the time, were not present, but in the seat of the great elder, which was usually empty, sat a figure wrapped in a black cloak. It was clearly the person he had just met.

Chapter 159 The Saint Returns

As if noticing Lin Xiao's gaze, the Great Elder nodded slightly at him. Zhongli Wu, who was standing beside him, also looked over here, but looked away after a moment.

Lin Xiao lowered his head and walked to the side where Sleepy Nightmare Douluo stood. He didn't look at him any more, but he secretly became alert in his heart.

He had never seen this Great Elder before, and he didn't even have much impression of her in his memories of his previous life, but the fact that she could hold the position of Great Elder was enough to show her strength.

And judging from her performance at the door just now, her ability is probably even more bizarre than that of the other elders.

As time passed, more and more people gathered in the hall. Zhongli Wu looked around and saw that the number of people was about the same, so he stood up.

"Today, we gather here to celebrate the return of the Saint."

"Long live the Holy Emperor, and may the Holy Maiden remain forever!"

"Long live the Holy Emperor, and may the Holy Maiden remain forever!"

As soon as Zhongli Wu finished speaking, waves of shouts rang out. After several times, they gradually quieted down.

"Please, Holy Emperor."

Zhongli Wu took two steps forward, then turned around. Behind his seat as the leader, a wall slowly opened and a statue appeared before everyone.

All the elders and disciples knelt down instantly. Lin Xiao did not look up, but he could feel that when the statue came out, a strange atmosphere emerged in the entire hall.

"Bring the Saint."

"Ta-ta-"

The crisp sound of footsteps passed by Lin Xiao's ears. He still didn't look up, but he could feel that only Ma Xiaotao came alone, and no one else was with her.

Ma Xiaotao only stopped slowly when she reached Zhongli Wu.

"Everyone, get up."

Everyone then stood up and their eyes fell on Ma Xiaotao.

Unlike others, Ma Xiaotao did not wear a black cloak. Instead, she wore a dark red long skirt with flame-like patterns on it that seemed to be rising at any time, contrasting with her dark red hair.

Even though the black cloaks on Lin Xiao and the others are only a thin layer, this is indeed the uniform of the Holy Spirit Church.

The cloaks of all the worshippers are decorated with golden patterns, while those of the elders are outlined with silver threads. Holy envoys like Lin Xiao represent several elders. Although there are no patterns on their cloaks, there is a silver thread running along the edge.

As for the other believers, they were left with only the most ordinary black cloaks. The fact that Ma Xiaotao could wear a long skirt was enough to show her status as a saint.

"Please bear witness, Saint Emperor. Today, our Holy Church finally obtains a Saint Girl."

"boom--"

A muffled sound came from the hall. No one noticed where the sound came from, but Lin Xiao's heart was shocked.

At that moment, he felt an inexplicable pressure, as if all the negative emotions of mankind suddenly erupted in the hall, and seemed to swallow up everything.

Although he had experienced the soul-raising ceremony, at that time, his greatest feeling was the pain of his soul, and he did not have much feeling for the statue of the Holy Emperor.

I originally thought it was just a simple brainwashing ceremony, where the Holy Spirit Church split the souls of its disciples in the brainwashing process to ensure the loyalty of all the Holy Spirits.

The so-called Holy Emperor is nothing more than an imaginary god invented by the Holy Spirit Church in order to spread its doctrine.

But at that moment, Lin Xiao was extremely sure that the power did not come from anyone in the hall, and was completely different from their power.

No matter what that Holy Emperor is, it must possess considerable power.

At the moment when the loud noise was heard, Ma Xiaotao also roared, her eyes turned completely blood red, her long hair fluttered up, and dark red flames surrounded her body.

"Long live the Holy Emperor, and may the Holy Maiden remain forever!"

"Long live the Holy Emperor, and may the Holy Maiden remain forever!"

Shouts rang out again, as if they had just been influenced by the "Holy Emperor". Everyone's voice was filled with fanaticism, and it was not until a long time later that it slowly stopped.

Zhongli Wu also shouted twice. After the surroundings calmed down, he turned around again and looked at the people in the hall.

"The Saint has finally returned to her throne. Tonight, let's have fun!"
