Dugu Bo and Ye Qingxian were re-evaluating Lin Xiao.
They suddenly realized that even though the boy had grown up under their noses since he was little, they still didn't understand him enough.
Like this time, Lin Xiao's displayed sophistication and decisiveness greatly exceeded their expectations.
Even.
Some seasoned veterans were far inferior to Lin Xiao.
"It doesn't make sense. I consider myself notoriously callous, but when I first started killing people, I didn't sleep soundly for two days."
Lin Xiao looked at the suspicious Dugu Bo.
Knowing that if he didn't resolve the doubts in the other's heart, he would probably keep muttering about it for a while.
"Senior Dugu, actually, I've killed people a long time ago."
"Hmm, so that's... hmm?!"
Dugu Bo said in surprise and uncertainty:
"When?"
Ye Qingxian also focused her gaze on Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao said solemnly:
"I like to kill people in my dreams."
"I've experienced ancient battlefields in my dreams."
Lin Xiao wasn't really talking nonsense.
In the Strength Clan, when he obtained the Crimson Sky Sword, he had once participated in the most tragic battlefield as a sword, drinking the blood of the gods.
If Godhoods are also people, and the God and Demon Battlefield is also an ancient battlefield.
Dugu Bo said unhappily, "I'm talking to you seriously!"
"Don't try to fob me off!"
But Ye Qingxian seemed thoughtful, "Lin Xiao, do you have opportunities we don't know about?"
"Clang~"
Lin Xiao held the Crimson Sky Sword and lightly tapped the thin blade. A crisp sound was emitted, ending with a trembling tail.
"When I obtained this sword, I obtained some of its memories, like a big dream. I did indeed kill people in my dreams."
"The feeling of blood flowing on my hands and splashing on my face is lifelike."
The blood of gods is scalding hot, and it is indeed different from the warm blood of humans.
Dugu Bo and Ye Qingxian's gazes fell on the Crimson Sky Sword.
This sword is indeed extraordinary, as if it has life. No wonder Lin Xiao suddenly asked them if he could learn swordsmanship from Sword Douluo. It turns out the reason lies here.
Ye Qingxian nodded slightly.
"That makes sense, but it's not right to attribute everything to the sword. In the end, the most crucial thing is the person."
"An ordinary young man, suddenly experiencing the slaughter of an ancient battlefield, would probably have nightmares for several nights, or even leave a shadow in his heart."
"But you are different. You have experienced the tempering of the Evil Fire burning your body, and you have long developed a strong psychological quality and willpower. In fact, even without this sword, you would adapt quickly."
When Ye Qingxian said these words, the emotions in her heart were somewhat complicated.
No matter how excellent Lin Xiao was, she still regarded him as a child, until this time when she gave Lin Xiao a test, he suddenly showed the quality and ability to stand alone.
She was gratified on the one hand, and a little lost on the other.
When the fledgling's wings are hardened, it will leave the eagle's embrace.
Dugu Bo didn't care so much. After his doubts were resolved, he couldn't help laughing.
"Good boy, you didn't lose points!"
"This test counts as you passing, but you kid is really insidious. It's not like you can't fight head-on, but you have to poison them first, then use Flame Burst to plot against them, and finally, you must stab them in the throat, or stab each side of the heart. Was that really necessary?"
Lin Xiao said "shyly":
"I'm just giving them a quick death. Isn't being half-dead worse than torture?"
Actually, it was based on his experience of reading web novels in his previous life.
You can't be sure if someone's heart is on the right side.
It's safer to stab them through.
If he didn't think it would damage his image in front of Dugu Bo and Ye Qingxian, Lin Xiao even wanted to cut off their heads, but he thought about it and decided against it.
After killing the people, he searched the corpses.
He threw a Great Sun Golden Flame and burned everything clean.
"However, the reason why I was able to do it so happily is that the Wolf Bandit mercenaries were too obviously evil. If they had disguised themselves and tried to sell their misery..."
"You wouldn't have killed them all?"
Lin Xiao shook his head.
"Get rid of evil completely. My sword speed might be two seconds slower."
After Lin Xiao explained to the two, he took out a Soul Bone emitting a purple fluorescent light from the Storage Soul Tool, and said with interest: "But this group of thieves is quite interesting."
"Can treasures come out of the sewer? It's actually a Ten Thousand Year Head Soul Bone!"
"Based on my personal experience and speculation, the function of this Head Soul Bone should be mental control, but I don't know if it can only control one person, or if it can control multiple people."
Lin Xiao played with it for a while, and asked, "Senior Dugu, Aunt Ye."
"Which of you wants this Soul Bone?"
Dugu Bo waved his hand, "Just keep it for yourself. Whether you think highly of it or not, keep it. A Ten Thousand Year Head Soul Bone is not simple!"
Ye Qingxian also said, "This Soul Bone is useless to me. I already have a very good one."
She glanced at Lin Xiao. A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone was already giving her a headache, unsure of how to reciprocate, and he was still asking for more. She might as well just give up.
Ye Qingxian pondered for a moment.
"The Purple Enchanting Fox has the ability to control minds. Looking at the color and style of this Soul Bone, it's likely from a Purple Enchanting Fox."
"It's more suitable for Soul Masters with strong spiritual power."
Lin Xiao's spirit was exceptionally strong, otherwise he wouldn't have caused that Soul King to suffer a backlash and mental breakdown. However, he was determined to only absorb Soul Bones from avian Soul Beasts with the Phoenix Bloodline as much as possible. This Purple Enchanting Fox's Soul Bone wasn't good enough to make him change his mind.
Lin Xiao stroked his chin.
"Well, Sister Yanyan and the others aren't very suitable either. It seems like Ning Rongrong would be a bit more compatible, but I've already given the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a lot of benefits."
"Sect Leader Ning hasn't finished paying me back yet."
Lin Xiao thought about it and couldn't find a suitable candidate, so he put away this Head Soul Bone to enrich his own little treasury.
"Senior Dugu, Aunt Ye, do you believe that I have the ability to stand on my own now?"
"In terms of poison skills, medical skills, swordsmanship, and my combat power, there aren't many in the Soul Master World who I find dangerous."
"Can I go out and train?"
Dugu Bo muttered:
"In theory, you can, but I always feel that your ability to court death is directly proportional to your strength."
Ye Qingxian made a final decision:
"You can."
"But you have to go back to Heaven Dou City first."
"Ning Fengzhi sent a message today. The items and place you asked him to find have been settled. You might as well wait until after you become a Soul King before going!"
Lin Xiao looked at Ye Qingxian in surprise.
Soul King?
Although he was already level 47, the remaining three levels weren't so easy to pass, even with Shui Binger as an accelerator.
Could it be that... Ning Fengzhi really brought good news? Lin Xiao smiled.
"As expected, Sect Leader Ning doesn't let the hawk out until he sees the rabbit."
"A well-fed horse runs fast!"
It seems Ning Fengzhi still has some shame
