Chapter 609 Identifying Evil Soul Masters
Huo Yuhao glanced at the gourd he was standing on and smelled the familiar aroma of wine.

All these years have passed, and Master Xuan still uses this gourd to hold wine.

He turned and praised Qianfeng, "You did very well, you don't need to be afraid."

After Qianfeng returned a trusting look, Huo Yuhao turned his gaze back to Elder Xuan in the air.

Elder Xuan's already gloomy expression turned even uglier, and he hissed, "Huo Yuhao, does Mingdou Academy intend to follow in Xu Tianran's footsteps and continue to collude with and protect evil soul masters?"

Although Elder Xuan did not see Huo Yuhao in the city or sense his presence during the competition, the latter's appearance did not surprise him.

However, the moment Huo Yuhao appeared, he felt an inexplicable pressure and unease.

Huo Yuhao hasn't made a move in many years, and no one knows the extent of his current strength.

Could he have already broken through to the Title Douluo realm? Shrek Academy was all too aware of the terrifying power of a Title Douluo with ultimate attributes.

Elder Xuan said in a deep voice, "Huo Yuhao, the evil martial spirit, the Purgatory Halberd, has long been recorded in the ancient books of our academy. As the name suggests, this martial spirit is by no means benevolent."

"I simply don't believe that Mingdou Academy wouldn't have suspected his martial soul when they were recruiting students."

His voice resounded throughout the entire square, not only for Huo Yuhao and Mingdou Academy, but also for the entire audience and Xue Lingzhao Tianyang Douluo above the imperial city.

It seems that the questioning has been very effective. A strange emotional wave has spread across the square. Few of the Douling people actually know Elder Xuan, but at this moment they are beginning to believe that the evil soul master defeated their respected prince using special means, and everyone is filled with righteous indignation.

In the rest area of ​​the Mingdou team, the members were all tense and silent.

Mingdou Academy has always emphasized moral education, so telling them that one of their teammates is an evil soul master is quite a shock to their understanding.

Considering that Qianfeng has never directly revealed the true name of his martial spirit, it's even easier for people to make connections.

At this moment, Ning Yuan stood up and said earnestly, "Everyone, after spending these past few months with Qian Feng, don't you still trust his character?"

"Has anyone ever seen him use any evil abilities during team training?"

He paused, then said firmly, "He is a member of this team just like us. I choose to believe in Qianfeng and the team leader."

The captain's encouragement inspired every team member, and they all nodded and looked at the field.

Huo Yuhao calmly retorted, "Elder Xuan, you can drink whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Since when did the name of a martial soul become a criterion for judging an evil soul master?"

"By your criteria, the Evil Fire Phoenix and the Evil-Eyed White Tiger both contain the character 'evil,' so wouldn't they be genuine evil soul masters?"

Elder Xuan choked on his words. He couldn't possibly criticize the martial souls of these two Shrek ancestors, so he had no choice but to change the subject and continue to question them: "Huo Yuhao, with your discerning eye, can't you see that his martial soul is an evil martial soul?"

He asked this question with some unease, because Huo Yuhao had already demonstrated his strange power to manipulate souls when they were suppressing the Holy Spirit Cult. If Huo Yuhao were to establish another Holy Spirit Cult, no one knew what the consequences would be.

Huo Yuhao said, "I don't believe that having a martial soul makes one inherently evil; the only evil thing is the human heart."

He glanced in the direction of the referee and the Douling team: "Elder Xuan, this is not Shrek Academy's competition right now. You seem to be overstepping your bounds."

Elder Xuan said coldly, "Maintaining peace on the continent is also the duty of Shrek Academy."

The atmosphere between the two was tense, but the public outside the arena were unfamiliar with both sides and simply sided with Shrek Academy, who was speaking up for Dou Ling, out of a simple sense of patriotism and justice.

"Gentlemen, please be patient."

Tianyang Douluo's calm voice rang out, standing between the two sides.

On the surface, the Douling Empire did not want to strain relations with either side, but it was also an opportunity to criticize Mingdou Academy. After thinking it over, Xue Lingzhao had Tianyang Douluo join forces with Shrek Academy.

As soon as Tianyang Douluo appeared, all the people of Douling bowed down with reverence, believing that this guardian Douluo would surely give the prince justice.

He confirmed, "Taotie, are you saying that this young man from Mingdou Academy is an evil soul master who used some kind of secret technique to defeat Xue Lan?" "That's right." Elder Xuan nodded and recounted the description of the Purgatory Halberd, this time also mentioning that thousands of years ago, an evil soul master who possessed the Purgatory Halberd martial soul caused a catastrophe across the entire continent.

"Such a shocking thing has happened." Tianyang Douluo frowned and looked at the referee. "Zhenfeng, please tell me in detail what happened in the match just now."

"Yes."

The referee, known as Zhenfeng, dared not be negligent and immediately recounted everything he had witnessed.

"...After releasing his martial spirit, Ming Dou immediately used all his soul skills to attack His Highness. His Highness was unable to dodge, but fortunately, he was protected by his personal defensive soul tool."

"I am blind and can only tell that Ming Dou is a dark attribute that is incompatible with Your Highness, but I really cannot tell whether he is an evil soul master. Please, Senior Tianyang, make the judgment."

The referee's forehead was covered in sweat. The forces involved were too great, and even a minor titled Douluo like him dared not get involved. He could only throw the question back to Tianyang Douluo.

After a moment of contemplation, Tianyang Douluo said solemnly, "As a guardian Douluo of the Douling, I deeply admire Shrek Academy's righteous act. Before this competition, they helped the Douling wipe out a group of bandits who were committing numerous evils on the border. Therefore, I trust Shrek Academy."

He paused, then glanced at Huo Yuhao again: "But this matter also concerns the reputation of Mingdou Academy. I cannot believe everything I hear. Taotie Douluo, I believe you would not speak without reason. Do you have any convincing evidence to prove that this Mingdou contestant is an evil soul master?"

Without evidence, Dou Ling would be branded as someone who is not only less skilled but also makes baseless accusations.

“The evidence is there, of course.” A confident and firm voice came from beside Elder Xuan, and all eyes turned to the speaker.

"Greetings everyone, I am Yan Shaozhe, the Dean of the Spirit Department at Shrek Academy and the Phoenix Douluo. My spirit is the Light Phoenix, a light-attribute spirit."

Yan Shaozhe spun around in the air and bowed to all the spectators.

"As we all know, the light attribute is the nemesis of evil martial souls. Although Prince Xue Lan possesses the light attribute, he lacks experience in dealing with evil soul masters and cannot accurately distinguish the differences between the dark attribute and the evil attribute."

"Since becoming a member of Shrek Academy, I have personally fought countless evil spirit masters. I am extremely familiar with their aura and can easily expose their true nature."

People with the "light" attribute seem to have an innate affinity and charm that makes people willing to believe them. The audience members nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Yan Shaozhe stared intently at Huo Yuhao: "Yuhao, I believe you are not ignorant of the greater good, but were just deceived for a moment. Don't become the protector of evil soul masters anymore."

"If you truly believe he is not an evil spirit master, then let him accept my judgment."

His tone was very sincere and righteous.

Standing behind Huo Yuhao, Qianfeng remained unmoved. He showed no unusual emotions, no tension, no fear... only trust in Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao said calmly, "What if you're wrong?"

Yan Shaozhe said confidently, "Then it was my misjudgment, and I am willing to apologize to Mingdou Academy on behalf of Shrek Academy."

Huo Yuhao nodded: "Dean Yan, that would be perfect."

Yan Shaozhe was taken aback, not expecting Huo Yuhao to agree.

But Huo Yuhao immediately added, "But the Light attribute isn't entirely opposed to the Evil attribute. How about this, I'll help you find a more trustworthy expert to identify Evil Soul Masters."

As he spoke, he took out his communicator and quickly said, "Come in."

Yan Shaozhe felt a sense of foreboding, and then he sensed a familiar presence rapidly approaching the plaza.

This aura is extremely similar to his light attribute, but in terms of attribute level alone, it seems to be even higher than his.

Above the Light attribute, there is only one other attribute: the Holy attribute. And currently, there is only one person on the continent who possesses the Holy attribute.

Ye Guyi activated her flying soul tool to slowly decelerate and hover in the air, looking at Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan with a complicated expression: "Teacher Yan, it's been a long time."

Yan Shaozhe's expression changed slightly; he seemed to have a vague idea of ​​why Huo Yuhao was so confident.
