Chapter 310: Evil Soul: Part 2
The memories hid a countless number of skills and experiences . All Lin Sheng needed to do was to absorb and digest . Under certain circumstances, these experiences would become his most valuable asset . Never mind that most of the skills and experiences in the memories were incomplete .
Out of nowhere, a spike toward Lin Sheng, startling him . But in that split second, he tilted his head, and the spike missed his face by an inch . He barely escaped injury .
“Who is it?” Lin Sheng looked in the direction from where the spike came, his eyes flashing in golden light . Deep in the dense forest, a golden shadow with only a third of the height of an ordinary human was lunging towards him .
Amid the wailing cries, he knew the golden shadow, a four-armed monkey standing upright, was the wildling he was looking for . This tall wildling looked different . The wildling wielded a bamboo tube-like white object in his hand and aimed it at Lin Sheng .
Another spike had shot out .
Lin Sheng was calm as a green crystal had appeared in front of him, accurately blocking the incoming spike . The impact produced some sparks before the spike dropped to the ground .
As Lin Sheng lunged forward, several wildlings shrieked and lurched at him, trying to attack him with their claws and bite him with their fangs . But before the wildlings could come close, the dark-energy crystals had stopped their advances . A light green light appeared on each wildling that had come into direct contact with the crystal of dark energy . This was a typical characteristic of being corrupted by the dark energy .
Under normal circumstances, the dark energy should not produce such a powerful corrupting effect . But Lin Sheng was different . Corruption was the most prominent characteristic of his dark-energy ability . He was an oddball of the corrupt school of dark energy .
The correct fighting technique of the corrupt school of dark energy was long-range combat . It used various dark-energy threads or fine powder to surround the opponent from a distance and corrupt the target .

But Lin Sheng completely departed from this style of the corrupt school of dark energy . He rushed forward . In one-meter space around him, green crystals were flashing wildly like neon lights, bouncing off the claw of every wildling that attacked him . The extremely fine powder of dark energy would penetrate the respiratory tract of the wildling, further speeding up the corruption process .
In just a few seconds, Lin Sheng stood on his feet before walking up to the tall wildling . Meanwhile, a dozen of wildlings in the surroundings, panicked and unable to flee in time, had turned dark-green . This was a typical sign of dark-energy corruption .
“It’s the first time I’ve used it in combat since I’ve tested my dark energy . I can now see how it works . ” Lin Sheng reached out his hand and gently touched the transfixed wildling leader . The wildling trembled, yet dared not move a muscle . Its hand holding the cylinder still shivered, fear filling its yellow . In just ten seconds, thirty wildlings had dropped to the ground, not dead yet but close .
A wildling corrupted by the dark energy climbed to its feet . Its muscles twisted, skin covered in small pustules, arms lengthening, belly bloating, and legs thicker . The wildling turned from crawling on four to walking on two feet .
“It’s the natural result of corruption . ” Lin Sheng looked at the standing wildling . The corruption of dark energy always started with the soul . Dark-energy corruption on different people looked the same . But the difference was in the details . After all, everyone’s evil soul was different . Different evil souls would have different corrupting effects . And after the corruption, the mutant monsters would become uncontrollable .
Lin Sheng counted the number of wildlings that survived the corruptive force of his dark energy . There were five of them, and they had turned into a dark-energy monster, standing upright .
“Since it’s of no use to me, I’d have to destroy them . ” He had tried to communicate with these monsters but to no avail . So with the raise of his hand, he fired his deadly dark energy, hitting and penetrating the forehead of four wildlings, which dropped dead on the ground . Another mutant wildling dodged the dark-energy thread . But that was all it could do . A dozen more dark-energy threads had shot out, piercing the wildling’s body .
“Check out the surroundings . Make sure no one within two hundred meters from here . ” As Lin Sheng so willed in his mind, plumes of black smoke dispersed into all directions to patrol in a 200-meter-radius circle . Another plume of black smoke materialized into a vault guard, helping Lin Sheng pile the corpses in one place .

Using blood, Lin Sheng skillfully drew a rudimentary circle of a sacrificial ritual on the ground . With his skill and mastery of the elements and the Deviltongue, he could draw an array he wanted, as long as he kept the crucial layout intact .
In less than five minutes, Lin Sheng had finished drawing a large circle of the sacrificial ritual . The vault guard had brought the materials and utensils needed for the ceremony . Before he came, he had instructed Adolf to send over ritual ingredients, making sure that he would not run out of supply .
Lin Sheng had brought along a dozen materials required for various rituals in this mission . But the ingredients for the sacrificial ritual were not adequate because he never expected to perform so many sacrificial rituals .
As everything was in place, Lin Sheng began to summon the dark spirits, one by one . It was not so much a summoning as it only involved trapping the dark spirits with fresh corpses of the wildling . And to prevent from summoning an overly powerful dark spirit, Lin Sheng had used three corpses at one time .
Soon, rays of faint red lights shone . As roars and explosion that existed only at the spiritual level broke out, the clueless yet greedy dark spirits reached out their claws from the ritual circle . They tried to grab and devour the blood in Lin Sheng’s body . But they turned into light-red crystal beads under the burning flame of holy power .
In just a few beats, Lin Sheng found a dozen new light-red crystal beads in his hand and the corpses were gone .
Letting out a smile of satisfaction, Lin Sheng tucked the crystal beads and looked at the paralyzed leader of the wildlings .
“Next … let’s try making of the shade . ” An expecting smile spread across his face .

Making the shades was the main reason for the research institute’s destruction . They had violated the fundamental interests and techniques of a cult such as the Sect of Thousand Graces .
Time flew, and it was evening .
After a day’s fruitless investigation, Melissa was drained, dropping on a wooden chair in the mansion’s lobby and looking at her cell phone to scan the news .
Likewise, the few teammates who went to investigate the murder case were equally exhausted . They followed the police officer from that defense station and searched around . Just when they thought they had found a clue, something came up and interrupted them . Sometimes, the killer was allegedly hiding in the town, and the other time, it was holed up in the mountains .
After a tiring day, when Melissa returned, she caught the rest of the team members playing video games, drinking, and playing cards in the mansion . It looked like the murder case during the day did not affect them at all . And she was upset .
“Where is the captain?” Melissa looked at the love birds on the sofa .
“The captain hasn’t returned yet . Don’t worry, Melissa, he is also a genius from the Soul Fortress . Nothing will happen . Not that I’m lecturing you, but Melissa, you didn’t have to be so serious as to make yourself so exhausted . ” The teammate laughed .
“That’s right . We have called the university and asked . As long as we send our report on time, the rest is none of our business . The only thing we need to pay attention to is to keep ourselves safe,” said another one .
“Yeah, if we do and finish everything . What the Asterism do?” Someone laughed .
