Douluo Continent II: You're an evil spirit master, but also a philanthropist?

Sitting by the fire.

Xu Cheng pretended to be asleep, but in reality, he was checking the system rewards.

Rescuing Tang Ya was not only his own idea, but also driven by a system mission.

Following the main questline, there are numerous side quests that form a spiderweb throughout the story, which in fact help Xu Cheng gradually progress towards the main questline.

As for the [Soul Guidance Analysis]...

A soul tool consists of a core array, various array connection hubs, a metal outer shell, and so on.

The most important thing here is the core of the formation.

It controls the operation of the entire soul tool, similar to a CPU, including the power, range, and rate of fire of the soul tool.

The higher the grade of the soul tool, the more intricate and difficult to analyze and replicate its internal array core.

Every Soul Master, when first learning about Soul Tools, stands on the shoulders of their predecessors (analyzing the core of the formations created by their predecessors).

Those with less natural talent can become incredibly wealthy in this world simply by replicating the cores of these low-level formations and creating soul tools (the soul tool market is huge), or they can join the military and become qualified low-level soul masters.

Those with exceptional talent can thoroughly analyze the core of the formations of their predecessors, understand their principles, and then create their own. Of course, to reach this level, one must be at least a fifth-level Soul Master.

Let's return to the core formation analysis.

When a beginner comes into contact with a soul tool, the first thing to do is to analyze the core array of the soul tool, which is like imprinting it in their mind through mental power.

Then, using mental power and a carving knife, it is copied onto new metal.

Thus, a Level 1 Soul Master is born.

Of course, analyzing it doesn't mean you can replicate it.

Even if Xu Cheng could analyze a level-seven soul tool, he couldn't replicate it for one reason: insufficient mental strength. If he forced a replication, he would likely suffer a backlash from this advanced formation, his mind being shattered and turning him into an idiot...

Oh, Tianmeng, Tianmeng...

If we had the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, this problem would be easily solved.

Xu Cheng sighed softly.

He once tried to follow Huo Gua's path, wandering around that area, trying to lure out Tianmeng, but for three months he didn't make the slightest ripple.

They had no choice but to give up and wait until four years later, when the plot unfolds, to make a decision.

"Have you rested enough?"

Xu Cheng opened his eyes and spoke softly.

"..."

There was silence all around.

The crow sat cross-legged to one side, its back ramrod straight, and listlessly tossed a few pieces of firewood into the fire.

There was no response.

"Stop pretending to be asleep. Let's hunt for spirit rings as soon as possible. I have to go to school tomorrow morning."

Xu Cheng said calmly.

The words fell.

Tang Ya, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be unconscious, slowly got up and looked at Xu Cheng, who had taken off his black robe and seemed to be about the same age as her, with a slightly youthful face, with a complicated expression.

She heard it clearly just now.

Of the two, Xu Cheng was the leader, a super strong man known as "Crow," and also referred to as a holy son.

And at such a young age, he has already obtained his third spirit ring...

They were practically monsters.

What's even stranger is that she clearly remembered that just when she was about to be in danger, those eerie, blood-red eyes seemed to be... also belonging to this person.

"That's my domain skill, don't overthink it."

Xu Cheng smiled kindly.

Upon seeing this, Tang Ya's heart skipped a beat.

His eyes were naturally blood-red, captivating like amber, with an eerie glow. His skin was fair, and he was extremely handsome, standing at about 1.7 meters tall. He was practically the prince charming from a novel.

His talent is especially terrifying, and he just saved me.

In Tang Ya's heart, it seems that she has already hidden the term "evil soul master" from her mind.

Yes, such a person must be the young master of a large family or a hidden sect!

"Domain skills, wow, that's powerful."

Tang Ya said with heartfelt emotion.

But then he drooped his head again.

His actions just now—bloodthirsty and murderous—were probably completely unrecognizable in this person's eyes, and he might even be categorized as an evil soul master. A sense of inferiority suddenly welled up in his heart.

Won't I be disliked?

"Um, but I just killed so many people, can I still join your sect?" Tang Ya buried her head in her arms, her voice barely audible.

"Ha ha……"

Xu Cheng chuckled as he looked at the dark clouds.

They exchanged a glance, their eyes full of smiles.

So she didn't understand the situation. No wonder she didn't seem afraid at all.

"First, I don't call myself that. You can call me Xu Cheng, or Brother Cheng, it doesn't matter. Second..."

Xu Cheng spoke slowly.

"Don't you know that the Holy Spirit Cult is the largest evil spirit master organization on this continent?"

"..."

Tang Ya slowly raised her head, her expression frozen, as if her CPU had burned out.

After a long while, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Turn around and run.

"late."

Xu Cheng smiled and gently raised his hand.

next moment.

A deep chasm appeared in front of Tang Ya. If it weren't for her agile movements and use of the Ghost Shadow Illusion Technique, she would have barely been able to maintain her footing.

"Pfft!"

A few pebbles fell, but there was no echo for a long time; it was truly bottomless!

"You! You're an evil spirit master!"

Tang Ya turned around with difficulty, looking at Xu Cheng, who was still sitting by the campfire, leisurely roasting the soul beast, with a face full of horror.

She had never heard of the Holy Spirit Cult, but she had definitely heard of the Evil Soul Master.

In her mind, these kinds of Soul Masters were associated with words like brutality, violence, killing, and evil.

Is it possible...

"Don't overthink it." Xu Cheng waved his hand casually. "I didn't cause this to your family. It was Tie Li who coveted the Tang Clan's position and colluded with the city defense army. Don't try to pin the blame on me."

"Wait, you can read minds!!!" Tang Ya felt a chill run down her spine.

I didn't notice it before, I just assumed he guessed correctly, but now...

"A little, but not much."

Xu Cheng took a bite of barbecue and waved it in front of Tang Ya, "Are you hungry? Want to eat something?"

"I will never eat anything from an evil spirit master!" Tang Ya flipped her hand, revealing countless hidden weapons between her fingers. With her back to the abyss, she stared warily at Xu Cheng.

"I'll give you two choices."

Xu Cheng munched on his grilled meat and pointed at the dark clouds.

"First, he takes you back to the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, forcibly brainwashes you, and turns you into a killing machine."

Tang Ya was trembling all over, and her hands could barely hold the hidden weapon.

He then pointed to himself.

"Second, stay by my side. I won't erase your consciousness. Serve the Holy Spirit Cult, and I'll give you your freedom in five years..."

"Choose one."

Chapter 6 Tang San? Isn't he an evil soul master?

"Of course, if you are not satisfied with these two options, I can make an exception for you one more time, subjecting you to a fate worse than death. After all, my Holy Spirit Church has quite a few methods of torturing people."

Xu Cheng said with a smile.
