Evil Soul Masters

Evil Soul Masters: the most detestable heretical profession in Douluo Continent.

Evil Soul Masters possessed strength beyond that of ordinary people and came in different ranks. The higher their rank, the greater their abilities. Evil Soul Masters had existed for a long time. As early as the era of Spirit Hall, there were Soul Masters who practiced improper techniques and strayed onto the evil path, becoming Evil Soul Masters.

Generally speaking, Evil Soul Masters cultivated faster than ordinary Soul Masters before reaching the Titled Douluo rank. However, because they were hunted down and condemned by others, and because their evil martial souls required blood, Soul Power, and other things needed for evil cultivation, few Evil Soul Masters could cultivate beyond Titled Douluo.

Unlike righteous Soul Masters, who were revered by countless people, Evil Soul Masters were loathed by the world. Apart from the Sun Moon Empire during the era of Peerless Tang Sect, in nearly every era and every nation or federation, Evil Soul Masters were inevitably despised, captured, and killed.

Different eras had different definitions of Evil Soul Masters. To label a Soul Master as an Evil Soul Master required evidence as well as consideration of their martial soul type. During the era of "Peerless Tang Sect," anyone with an evil martial soul was classified as an Evil Soul Master. Yet during the era of "Dragon King Legend," the definition became: "Even if one possesses an evil martial soul, as long as one has a kind heart, one is not an Evil Soul Master." This was why Tang Wulin, who used the Golden Dragon Spear to absorb others' life force to nourish himself, and Yuanen Yehui, who possessed the Fallen Angel evil martial soul, were not classified as Evil Soul Masters. This standard applied only to Shrek Academy. If a possessor of an evil martial soul appeared in the Sun Moon Federation, even with a kind heart, they would still be captured, punished, or killed.

Normally, when an Evil Soul Master's mind wavered, cyan-black aura would emanate from their entire body.

In the world of "Douluo Continent," Soul Masters were divided into ten types: Power Attack System, Agility Attack System, Control System, Defense System, Healing System, Support System, Food System, Summoning System, Strength System, and Ranged Attack System. Evil Soul Masters also gave rise to martial soul types such as Corpse Control, Spirit Manipulation, Beast Control (soul beasts cultivated through evil soul techniques), demon exorcism, Evil Summoning, and Blood Transformation.

"Ye Feng, who told you all that?" Flender asked.

"Dean, was I wrong?" Ye Feng asked.

"This world doesn't run on words alone. Many places don't care about reason. Whoever has the harder fist has reason." Flender avoided the main issue and rebuked Ye Feng.

"Dean, as the saying goes, a master may lead one to the door, but cultivation depends on the individual. You are Ma Hongjun's teacher, but Ma Hongjun must walk his own path," Ye Feng countered without yielding.

Ye Feng stroked the bracelet on his left wrist. Inside was the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, which could solve Ma Hongjun's martial soul problem. Yet Ye Feng had not given Ma Hongjun the Immortal Herb, because he felt that Ma Hongjun clearly possessed such an incredibly powerful cheat, only for the Dean to ruin it in the end.

Through the union of yin and yang, he could gain self-generated Soul Power. What an immensely powerful cheat that was.

Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix cheat truly made Ye Feng envious. He just needed to get on with it.

"I am his teacher," Flender said.

"I am his brother," Ye Feng said.

Flender stared at Ye Feng, and Ye Feng stared back at Flender. Seeing that the atmosphere had grown extremely tense, Ning Rongrong stepped forward and asked curiously, "Senior Brother, did Sword Grandpa tell you all this?"

"Well..." Ye Feng hesitated.

"Sword Grandpa?" Flender frowned, catching Ning Rongrong's words. Unable to help himself, he interjected, "Ye Feng, could your teacher be...?"

"Yes." Ye Feng nodded.

Flender looked at Ma Hongjun.

When it came to educating students, Flender did not dare show off before Sword Saint Chen Xin. However, once Spirit Hall learned that Ma Hongjun was an Evil Soul Master, they would surely kill him or drive him into Slaughter City and leave him to fend for himself. This was Spirit Hall's usual method of dealing with Evil Soul Masters.

Ye Feng noticed that Flender was beginning to waver. In order to Overturn the Storyline and obtain distributable Attribute Points, as well as for Ma Hongjun's future, he persuaded him, "Dean, you are merely worried that Ma Hongjun's identity will be exposed and that Spirit Hall will hunt him down. In my view, there is no need for you to worry so much."

"Oh? Let's hear it," Flender said.

"First, I gave Ma Hongjun some money. It is enough for him to support twenty girlfriends. Once Ma Hongjun has twenty girlfriends, even if he needs to do it four times a day, each woman will only receive his favor once every five days on average. Second, Shrek Academy is built in the countryside, where information is cut off. As long as Ma Hongjun does not go to Spirit Hall for a Soul Master rank assessment before becoming a Titled Douluo, Spirit Hall will not know whether he is an Evil Soul Master. Even if Spirit Hall finds out, so what? Is sleeping with one's own wives and girlfriends a crime?" Ye Feng asked in return.

Flender remained silent and fell into deep thought. As the Dean of Shrek Academy, he knew the benefits of possessing an evil martial soul. Once one possessed an evil martial soul, one's future cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds.

"Ma Hongjun, let me ask you. Every time you sleep with a woman, does the Soul Power in your body increase?" Ye Feng asked.

"Yes. Especially when it is a woman's first time, the Soul Power I gain is even greater," Ma Hongjun answered truthfully.

"Ma Hongjun, let me ask you again. If you had twenty wives, would you still go looking for other women? The problem with you is not actually your martial soul, but your state of mind. If you possess a kind heart, then you are not an Evil Soul Master. There is no need to worry about your martial soul," Ye Feng asked.

"Teacher..." Ma Hongjun looked at Flender expectantly.

"Ma Hongjun, if I ever discover that you have raped an innocent woman, I will kill you with my own hands," Flender said sternly.

"Teacher, I will certainly hold fast to my heart. I will never do anything that harms heaven and reason," Ma Hongjun said forcefully, meeting Flender's gaze.

"Return to your place," Flender ordered.

"Yes, Teacher." Ma Hongjun rejoiced.

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations. You have Overturned the Storyline. With your eloquent tongue, you persuaded Flender and Ma Hongjun to abandon the plan to improve Ma Hongjun's martial soul, creating far-reaching consequences. Reward: 100 distributable Attribute Points."

100 points?

Ye Feng was stunned. This time, he had actually received one hundred Attribute Points.

Ye Feng looked at Ma Hongjun. He was very curious whether Ma Hongjun, with the Evil Fire Phoenix cheat that allowed him to gather yin and replenish yang to rapidly increase his Soul Power, would still only become a second-rank god, the Phoenix God, in the future.

After that, as the Dean of the academy, Flender gave a few welcoming remarks for the new students. Since the first class would not begin until after nightfall, everyone went off to do their own thing. As for Ma Hongjun, he did not disappoint Ye Feng. He found his former girlfriends who had broken up with him because they could not endure his martial soul. To those former girlfriends who were unmarried and had no boyfriends, Ma Hongjun made promises and offered their families some financial assistance. In the end, he recruited twelve girlfriends. The issue of having nowhere to vent his evil fire had, at least initially, been alleviated.

As for Ye Feng, he went to find Dean Flender. His purpose in seeking Flender was to obtain more distributable Attribute Points. Flender had said one thing right today: in this world, whoever had the harder fist had reason.
