Douluo Continent: The Eternal Dawn

Chapter 33 Senior Sister is already exhausted from winning.
In the subsequent conversation, Ye Xixuan heard Elder Mu mention a special evil soul master he had encountered before.

That evil spirit master's martial spirit was called Scorpion Tiger. Tracing its bloodline, it could be considered a subspecies of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, requiring it to constantly devour animal blood to evolve. However, compared to other evil spirit masters, it wasn't excessively evil.

Considering that the evil aura of his martial spirit was not strong and that he had never harmed anyone, Elder Mu ultimately let him go.

In Ye Xixuan's memories of his previous life, the Holy Spirit Cult also had a Super Douluo Elder whose Martial Soul was the Dark Raven. Because he was often mistaken for an evil Soul Master and was hunted down, he joined the Holy Spirit Cult in a fit of anger.

Therefore, whether or not a Soul Master should be classified as an evil Soul Master involves too many subjective opinions.

The evil aura within the Nightfall Xuanwu Soul is not something it possesses innately, and unlike those evil soul masters who harm others to enhance their cultivation, it is actually the nemesis of the evil soul masters' evil martial souls.

Old Master Mu naturally didn't see any problem with it.

At Elder Mu's suggestion, Ye Xixuan sat down at the leftmost position on the long wooden table, which was Elder Xuan's usual seat when the Sea God Pavilion held meetings.

"After breaking through level 30, you should now have a basic understanding of the difficulty of cultivating the ultimate martial soul."

"Yes, Mr. Mu."

Ye Xixuan responded in a deep voice.

"My current soul power cultivation is probably at the peak of level thirty-one. If other soul masters had absorbed the soul ring of that dark swan, they would probably have increased their soul power by at least two or three levels."

"Although your cultivation speed has slowed down significantly, it's not stagnant. Laying a solid foundation in the early stages will allow you to truly soar to new heights in the future," Elder Mu said with a smile.

"Your advantage lies in your physical strength and mental power, which far surpass those of other Soul Masters of the same level. This allows you to absorb Soul Rings at levels higher each time you advance. Part of the energy contained in the Soul Ring is used to help you break through, and the other part will directly increase your Soul Power, just like you did earlier. Don't be fooled by the fact that your Soul Power cultivation has only increased by less than one level; it will save you a lot of time from arduous cultivation. Use this time to consolidate your cultivation. The effects of absorbing the Soul Ring should not have fully manifested yet. If all goes well, you may break through again in a short period of time, raising your Soul Power to level thirty-two."

"Yes!" Ye Xixuan nodded solemnly, then asked with some concern.

"Mr. Mu, how is Sister Lexuan doing?"

"The attributes of that 100,000-year-old Blood Moon Wolf King were a perfect match for Le Xuan's martial soul. It's just that when she absorbed the soul ring, her soul power was consumed too much and her physical condition was too poor, which is why she suffered such a backlash." Elder Mu sighed softly.

"Fortunately, she escaped unscathed in the end and successfully fused with the Blood Moon Wolf King's soul ring and soul bone. This can be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."

"Blood Moon Wolf King..." Only after Elder Mu mentioned it did Ye Xixuan realize that Zhang Lexuan and the other fourteen inner court disciples had encountered the 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Elder Mu patiently explained to Ye Xixuan, "If we divide the Blood Moon Wolf King into more detail, it can be considered a branch of the Silver Moon Wolf King, and it has a close connection with the Silver Dragon lineage. Legend has it that the Dragon God absorbed the essence of the sun and moon to create the Golden Dragon and the Silver Dragon. The Golden Dragon inherited the essence of the sun's radiance, which gradually transformed into ultimate power. The Silver Dragon absorbed the brilliance of the moon, which gradually transformed into multi-elemental control."

"So, you and Senior Brother Bei's martial souls belong to the Silver Dragon lineage, right?"

"The Holy Light Dragon is indeed a branch of the Silver Dragon, but no one is certain whether this legendary Silver Dragon actually exists." Elder Mu nodded slightly.

Ye Xixuan lowered his head and remained silent.

The Silver Dragon certainly exists; more accurately, it should be called the Silver Dragon King, which is currently sleeping deep underground in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Just as Ye Xixuan and Elder Mu were talking, a graceful figure appeared on the open ground outside the Sea God Pavilion.

Zhang Lexuan was dressed in a long white dress, her long black hair unkempt and draped loosely over her waist and hips. Her delicate face was noticeably pale, looking much more haggard than usual. "Sister Lexuan?" Ye Xixuan was slightly taken aback, and then he saw Zhang Lexuan kneeling before the Sea God Pavilion. Her waist was straight and slender, and the form-fitting dress outlined her curvaceous figure, her long hair even falling to the ground around her.

Bathed in the gentle moonlight, Zhang Lexuan's dark hair fluttered in the wind, turning a dreamlike silver. Her usually gentle and serene demeanor revealed a rare hint of fragility.

Ye Xixuan immediately sat up from his chair. Out of respect for his senior sister, he could not accept such a grand gesture.

Seemingly sensing Ye Xixuan's doubts, Elder Mu couldn't help but say softly, "Le Xuan must have come to persuade Xuanzi to stay."

Ye Xixuan then recalled his memories from his past life, and it seemed that such an event did indeed occur. It was because Zhang Lexuan knelt for a long time that Elder Xuan continued to stay at the Sea God Pavilion.

But this is clearly the responsibility of Elder Xuan, the teacher in charge of the team. Why should the senior sister bear it?
"Elder Mu, the purpose of Sister Le Xuan's actions is simply to give Elder Xuan a way out." Ye Xixuan took a deep breath, and combining the information from his past life's memories, he could easily see through the essence behind these events.

Old Master Mu looked at Ye Xixuan, was taken aback at first, and then sighed in acknowledgment.

“The academy does need Xuanzi; he can’t leave yet. Le Xuan did this precisely because she saw this.”

"I can understand the difficulties the academy faces, but isn't this too unfair to Sister Lexuan?" Looking at Zhang Lexuan's thin and lonely figure, Ye Xixuan felt a strange sense of oppression in his heart, perhaps because he truly empathized with her.

"Elder Mu, from now on I am willing to share this responsibility of the academy with Senior Sister."

Ye Xixuan made a firm promise to Elder Mu, and then strode out of the Sea God Pavilion.

The golden light within the Sea God Pavilion and the cool, silvery moonlight outside were like two completely different hues. He resolutely crossed the dividing line and came to Zhang Lexuan's side.

Zhang Lexuan subconsciously raised her head and exclaimed softly with a hint of doubt.

"Xi Xuan?"

Ye Xi smiled with pity in his dark eyes, and as Zhang Lexuan exclaimed in surprise, he bent down and picked her up in his arms.

Zhang Lexuan stared wide-eyed in astonishment, completely unable to react for a moment. In her past understanding, it was probably unimaginable that the little guy who had always treated her with such respect would do something so outrageous.

Ye Xixuan gazed at the vast Sea God Lake in the distance, then lowered his head and met Zhang Lexuan's eyes at close range. The sincerity and purity in his eyes were truly touching.

“Sister Lexuan, you don’t have to shoulder everything. At least, I will share the responsibilities with you in the future.”

"Xi Xuan..." Zhang Lexuan opened her red lips as if to speak, her gaze momentarily lost in thought. Since the destruction of her family, she hadn't felt this kind of care and protection for countless years.

Even after Ye Xixuan took her away from the Sea God Pavilion, she was still immersed in those distant memories from her childhood.

Old Mu hunched over and sat up from the recliner, closing his eyes in pain and shame.

"How could the number one academy on the continent stoop to scheming against two juniors? Why does the academy always lack a sense of grandeur? It's time to make a change."

　Hurry up and hand over the tickets to the mouse.
