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

He did not fully understand the Star Soul Ingot that he had accidentally smelted. What kind of characteristics it could exhibit in the soul guide and what kind of array pattern it could be combined with were all data that could only be known through experiments.

Unfortunately, these experiments cannot be conducted here, so I still have to take some materials back to the dormitory to study them slowly. Fortunately, there are many students in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy who do this, so this behavior is not too strange.

Also, as his soul master's level increases, the metal he handles requires more delicate manipulation, and the requirements for his carving knife are also getting higher and higher...

Picking up the carving knife, Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, his thoughts drifting far away as memories gradually surfaced before his eyes. Juzi, Nana, Xiao Hongchen and his sister, Ji Juechen... these familiar names kept appearing before his eyes. As they grew older, it seemed as if something was about to happen.

Lin Xiao didn't know what unexpected things would happen to the world because of his arrival, nor did he know what would become of those familiar people, but he knew that he needed strength.

The nightmares he had as a child, the despair and powerlessness before the soul-raising ceremony...all of these told him that in this world, only strength matters.

Chapter 104 Peeping

"Teacher, this is everything that happened last night."

At night, inside the branch of the Holy Spirit Church in Mingdu, Lin Xiao, dressed in black, was standing in front of Sleepy Nightmare Douluo with a slight bend in his waist.

"So, you met other people?"

"Yes."

Lin Xiao nodded, hiding nothing, including his fighting skills.

With him were the sisters Wu Yun and Wu Yu, who had also experienced what happened last night. Although they were relatively close to Lin Xiao, if he spoke up, they might help him hide something.

But after so many years in the Holy Spirit Church, he had learned some lessons, that is, people in the Holy Spirit Church, no matter how good the relationship was, or even if they were blood relatives, could not be trusted easily.

Sleeping Nightmare Douluo did not pay much attention to the combat skills displayed by Lin Xiao. As a Titled Douluo, he had some means independent of soul skills. Instead, his attention was on Ye Guyi.

"Are you sure that's the Holy Angel Martial Spirit?"

"Disciple is certain that her cultivation is only at the third level, but I can already sense the obvious suppression. If her cultivation were higher, this suppression would probably be even more obvious."

"A holy angel... no wonder it left such a mark..." Nightmare Douluo rubbed his chin with his dry palm and made a rasping sound. "This matter concerns the great affairs of our Holy Church. I will report it to the leader personally."

"Also, can you identify who is with that Holy Angel Soul Master?"

"This..." Lin Xiao paused and shook his head slightly.

"Never mind. They are leading the Holy Angel Spirit Masters to search for the evil spirit master. They must have come up with a strategy to defeat their opponents. There won't be any obvious marks on their bodies. It's hard for you."

"It's all for the Holy Church." Lin Xiao hurriedly raised his hands and clasped his fists.

"By the way." Sleepy Nightmare Douluo raised his hand, "Do you still have the soul guide you brought back last night?"

really.

Hearing this, Lin Xiao was not surprised. It seemed that Sleepy Nightmare Douluo was also among the group of people last night.

"Teacher, Jing Hongchen found me this morning and didn't allow me to take that soul guide out of Mingde Hall."

"You went to Mingde Hall?" Upon hearing this, Sleeping Nightmare Douluo's eyes lit up. "Well, you did a great job on this matter. To be valued so highly by Jing Hongchen, there must be many secrets hidden in it. Once you have mastered that soul guide, be sure to bring the blueprints back to the sect."

"Yes." Lin Xiao nodded in response.

"The Holy Church is about to undergo an expansion, and I need to return to headquarters." A smile crossed Sleeping Nightmare Douluo's face. "You have made considerable contributions in this matter. If you would like any reward, please let me know now."

"Thank you, Master." Lin Xiao clasped his fists again and pondered for a moment. "Master, after last night's fight, I still feel that my cultivation is lacking. Could you allow me to go out and train for a while?"

Experience?

Sleepy Nightmare Douluo looked up at Lin Xiao without thinking too much.

Of course, the disciples of the Holy Spirit Church also have "experiences", but unlike those of other sects or academies, the experiences of the disciples of the Holy Spirit Church are always closely related to the lives of other people.

Narrowing his eyes, Sleepy Nightmare Douluo slowly leaned back in his chair, "Master knows you are anxious, but cultivation cannot be rushed."

He glanced at Lin Xiao again and said, "Never mind. This time, you not only helped the sect accomplish a great task, but also obtained the secret of Mingde Hall. The Sect Leader personally offered you a reward, so naturally, I won't refuse. When do you want to leave, and how long will it take?"

"Teacher, how about waiting for this period of time and letting me figure out the secret of that soul guide before setting off again?"

"Yes, sure." Sleepy Nightmare Douluo nodded.

"Thank you teacher."

Lin Xiao hurriedly bowed again. Some things couldn't be done here. When the time was right, he could take the opportunity to go out.

"correct."

Nightmare Douluo suddenly spoke, causing Lin Xiao to pause in his salute. "Teacher, is there anything else?"

"When you're 'training', be careful not to leave too obvious traces. The Holy Church has been ordered to integrate evil soul masters from all over the country. Don't cause too much trouble within the church."

"is teacher."

Lin Xiao's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this. Although he didn't understand the full story, he had made great contributions, and the Holy Spirit Church had been ordered to integrate the evil soul masters. It was obvious that the Holy Spirit Church was behind what happened last night.

I just don’t know how many big hands are involved in this matter.

After leaving the altar, Lin Xiao glanced around, wrapped his cloak around himself, and walked towards a secluded place. However, just as he was about to change his clothes, his eyes suddenly moved and looked towards a hidden corner on the other side.

Lin Xiao didn't say anything, but when he looked in that direction, the person hiding in the dark seemed to have noticed it and disappeared in a flash.

Lin Xiao felt something was strange. After thinking about it, he stepped forward and disappeared from the spot.

Outside the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Nana was running towards the academy gate at a rapid speed. Seeing the light of the soul guide lighting the door, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you see?"

A low voice suddenly sounded beside her ears. Nana's whole body trembled violently. She swung her arms, and two daggers, one blue and one red, were already in her hands. Without looking back, she stabbed backwards instinctively.

However, this stab missed.

Nana turned around quickly and saw a figure covered in a black cloak appear in front of her.

It's him!

Nana felt like her heart skipped a beat. This figure, this mask that often appeared in her nightmares, was always in her mind.

"You are evil soul masters!"

Although she still had some doubts in her heart, Nana's words were spoken with great certainty.

Under the mask, Lin Xiao looked at Nana in front of him without saying a word.

No wonder I had a strange feeling when I realized someone was peeping at me just now, because that was not the gaze of a human, but the sight from the soul.

If it were someone else, they might not be sensitive to the soul's vision, but for Lin Xiao, who was already accustomed to the soul's vision, he was also familiar with the feeling of being spied on by the soul.

He didn't expect that Nana's ghost martial spirit could actually do something similar.

No, he should have realized it long ago.

In his memory, Nana had personally seen people from the Holy Spirit Cult entering and leaving Mingde Hall. Given the difference in cultivation between her and those people, how could she have hidden herself from their perception?

Unless she possesses a means of observation that is difficult for ordinary people to detect.

And now, Lin Xiao has confirmed that Nana's ghost martial soul can observe other people through another perspective just like the soul he controls.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao sighed softly.

Chapter 105 Nana

It was no wonder that Nana, who was only nine years old at the time, was able to keep up with her mother who had the cultivation level of a Soul Sect. It seemed that she also used the characteristics of the ghost martial soul to find the trace of the No. 6 Holy Servant.

However, at that time, Lin Xiao's understanding of the soul was far from what he has now, and he did not notice the existence of the ghost. Later, Nana accidentally leaked her breath when she saw the pain of the Holy Servant No. 6, and he discovered it.

Nana didn't know what Lin Xiao was thinking. After asking this question that had been accumulating in her heart for a long time, she stared at the mask.

Ever since she suspected her mother was an evil spirit master, Nana hadn't been idle. Upon hearing that the group of spirit masters were taking action near Mingdu, Xiao Hongchen wasn't the only one who guessed that the evil spirit masters were hiding in the city.

Therefore, when she was not practicing, she was always looking for the traces of the evil soul masters in the city.

But who would have known that she did not find the whereabouts of the evil soul masters, but instead discovered that the students in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy seemed abnormal.

During this period, several figures would quietly leave the academy every night and return just before dawn.

She tried to follow several of the students, but they disappeared when they reached a street. However, she didn't expect that when she came here again tonight, someone would discover the ghost she had hidden.

"Alas, you could have known nothing at all, so why did you have to know so much? Sometimes knowing too much is not a happy thing."

Lin Xiao sighed softly.

After recognizing Nana, he told her news to Sleepy Nightmare Douluo, and also wanted to take the matter of recruiting Nana into the sect into his own hands.

Although he was also forced to do so, his methods were always gentler than those of other Holy Spirit Sect disciples. At least until her cultivation level reached a certain level, she could still enjoy a good time.

Lin Xiao began to understand why Nana always looked absent-minded during the day. It was probably because she knew too much.

"Are you evil soul masters?" Nana ignored Lin Xiao's words and still asked the same question.

"Yes, not only am I, but your mother is also one of us."

When Nana heard this, her body trembled violently. Suddenly, she raised her right arm and stabbed Lin Xiao with her hand. Two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.

Although it has been quite some time since she enrolled in school, Nana has mastered some of the combat methods of the actual control soul instructors. However, due to the huge gap in soul power, her attacks pose no threat to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao lifted his cloak slightly and raised his left arm, accurately blocking the path of Nana's dagger. He flicked his finger lightly, and a ray of light flashed. The second-level soul guide broke instantly. The broken blade tip did not fall off, but disappeared instead.

Nana's attack missed, and the second soul ring around her lit up with a dazzling yellow light. Her figure instantly became illusory, and then split into three, attacking from three different directions.

For other people, it is inevitable that they will lose their focus for a moment when facing attacks from three directions. However, Lin Xiao's familiarity with the soul is even better than Nana who possesses a ghost martial soul. Such means cannot be hidden from his perception at all.

Without moving her feet, she turned her upper body slightly and blocked behind her with her left arm. In the blink of an eye, the other dagger in Nana's hand also broke.

Nana had no other soul guides except the two daggers prepared for her by the academy, but she still did not give up the attack. With tears in her eyes, her fists and feet turned into weapons to attack Lin Xiao.

Although she had guessed it long ago, when she heard with her own ears that her mother was an evil soul master, she still didn't know how to face it.

No, maybe there is no need to think about how to face it. In front of the evil soul master, I probably have no hope of survival.

Lin Xiao looked at the rather immature attack method and easily blocked it without even releasing his martial spirit.

He could sense that Nana's attacks were no longer as fierce as before, and she was just swinging her fists and feet mechanically and instinctively.

"You may not know your own worth yet. In our hands, death is already a reward."

Nana paused what she was doing and remained silent, but her heart was filled with despair.

Lin Xiao looked up at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy not far away and suddenly asked, "Do you want to see your mother?"

"what?"

Nana suddenly looked up at Lin Xiao.
