Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 161 Training
"I choose the first and the third options."

A moment later, Yuan Enhui made up her mind.

Since we've already decided to do it, let's go all the way!
"A pretty good choice."

Seeing that Yuan Enhui made her choice without much hesitation, Lin Xingyu said with considerable satisfaction.

Putting everything else aside, this decisiveness alone is quite remarkable.

Many things seem hopeless before you start doing them, and you only know how well you can achieve them once you start doing them.

Seeing Yuanen Yehui's decisiveness, Lin Xingyu was somewhat pleased.

"Alright, get up. I've prepared some things for you that can be used to harmonize the two powers within you and purify the will within the demonic power."

Lin Xingyu greeted everyone and then began taking out items one by one from his soul tool.

Yuan Enhui naturally stood up as if he had heard the suggestion.

The things needed to prepare this time are quite simple.

The main purpose is simply to collect some medicinal herbs related to light and spirit, and make a medicine that can enhance the spirit.

It can also purify the dark will, mainly by adjusting the dosage.

You can't just purify people directly.

With a glassy flame igniting in his hands, Lin Xingyu skillfully transformed various medicinal herbs into medicinal liquids without even needing a pill-refining furnace.

After blending, extracting, and condensing, the same steps were repeated several times. In less than half an hour, more than a dozen bottles of the pure white liquid were freshly produced.

"Take the medicine as you see fit. The first time, take one milliliter. After that, adjust the dosage according to the changes you feel in your body caused by the demonic power."

As Lin Xingyu spoke, he handed the prepared medicine to Yuan Enyehui.

"Carefully put the things away," Yuan Enhui said in a strange tone.

“These things must be very precious.”

"These are just some ancient artifacts, hundreds or thousands of years old, not particularly precious. They mainly serve an auxiliary purpose; it ultimately depends on your own willpower."

Lin Xingyu shook his head and said casually.

"Being able to mitigate external influences is already a great achievement."

"Why are you so good to me?"

Yuan Enhui suddenly said.

Yuan En Yehui was quite aware of the actual situation of herself and the other party.

Before the other party establishes a connection with the demon plane through their blood, I may indeed have an indispensable role for them.

But after that, whether they wanted to study demonic power or simply wanted to exploit the other party's power for free.

Lin Xingyu could completely bypass him and conduct the research on his own.

Providing three solutions is already quite generous.

Now he's even providing himself with a potion that can suppress the influence of demonic power; he's clearly putting in a lot of effort.

Despite being called a collaborative research project, she was merely a research subject from beginning to end.

"Why am I so good to you..."

Lin Xingyu stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and said:
"First of all, we are partners, so it is only right that I share my experimental results with you. These things are not particularly valuable to me; I can buy them at any high-end place."

"Then, I have high hopes for you. I think you will definitely achieve something in the future. You have carried such a heavy fate since you were a child, and you have been able to cultivate smoothly all the way to where you are now. Putting everything else aside, your mental strength is definitely strong enough. If the experiment is successful, let your martial spirit undergo another transformation."

"Putting everything else aside, you basically possess all the qualities of a strong person. At the very least, becoming a Super Douluo in the future shouldn't be a problem. So, how about it? Want to join me then?"

Hearing Lin Xingyu's straightforward answer, Yuan Enyehui was taken aback, and his feelings became somewhat complicated.

His gaze involuntarily began to wander, looking at the finished armor in the distance, staring at it intently, as if the patterns on it were something to behold.

"I've already joined the Tang Sect. If I were to leave now, the consequences would be severe. The rules within the Tang Sect are very strict."

"However, I am still an outer disciple. If you need anything, you can come to me anytime."

Yuan Enhui continued.

Lin Xingyu nodded. Most people who want to join the Tang Sect will be directly accepted into the outer sect as long as they meet the qualifications.

It can be said that they accept all comers.

Their Xuan Tian Gong, which they have continuously improved over the past ten thousand years, is also quite good in the Douluo Continent.

There are quite a few people who choose to join the outer sect in order to get some cultivation techniques for free.

These people can be listed as employees without doing any work, but they cannot leave.

If you want to quit, you must return the cultivation technique. As for how to return it, you either have to destroy it or die.

As for Yuan En Ye Hui, she still had some credibility with Lin Xing Yu.

Lin Xingyu trusted her assurances and considered her as practically one of his own from now on.

If everything goes smoothly in a few years, we can try to bring her into the Body Sect, and then she will be one of our own.

As for now, the priority is still to develop and build up our strength. If we have time, we can make a move; if not, we can leave it at that.

'Yuanen has potential. By directly accepting the power of the demon plane, she should be able to level up rapidly in the next few years. If she really lets go completely, leveling up six or seven times a year wouldn't be a problem.'

'The spirit rings on his body can also have their age increased directly through the power of the Demon Realm. When he reaches the Soul Saint or Soul Douluo level, he can undergo another fusion and transformation.'

After some mental calculation, I felt that this investment should yield considerable returns in the future.

In Lin Xingyu's opinion, apart from Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, the most talented people of this generation are among the best.

Next up are Yuanen Yehui and Wu Siduo.

Long Yue, on the other hand, is too inconsistent and is somewhat worse than the other two.

When Xie Xie became the Time-Space Dragon in the later stages, we could still have some discussion, but now he's still far from that level.

Xu Xiaoyan and Ye Xinglan are both somewhat inferior to the two of them.

After packing up, I carefully explained the specific procedures to Yuan Enye.

The two then left the studio and parted ways near the teaching building, each going their own way.

"The future..."

Looking at the white liquid in his hand, Yuan Enhui couldn't help but mutter to himself.

A flame seemed to be burning faintly in his eyes.

The presence or absence of hope can unleash two completely different forces.

……

"Are you asking for leave again?"

Looking at Lin Xingyu, who had found him again, Wu Changkong felt that even his usually calm mind was starting to crumble.

"You've only been back for a few days!"

Lin Xingyu chuckled twice and then continued.

"I had to go out on business. Besides, with my current strength, teacher, do you think I'm progressing faster in the outer academy or when I'm studying outside? Also, my battle armor is almost complete, and the school is still mainly teaching about battle armor."

Wu Changkong pondered for a moment. He had always paid close attention to Lin Xingyu's learning progress. This was the most hardworking student he had ever taught since becoming a teacher.

Putting everything else aside, he's really curly.

From childhood to adulthood, every day has been fully scheduled from morning till night.

Even when he was at Donghai Academy, he was awarded titles such as "King of Scrolls" and "Ascetic".

"Where do you plan to go? Are you still going to study under the teachers of the Body Sect?"

Wu Changkong's calm voice rang out again.

"During this period, I mainly visited the Spirit Ascension Platforms in various cities. After breaking through to the Soul King level, my physical and mental abilities have been greatly improved."

"The age of the spirit ring can be increased, and one can also improve one's combat ability through battle, better familiarize oneself with the current power, and the speed of improvement through battle is also faster than it is now."

Upon hearing Lin Xingyu's answer, Wu Changkong nodded in agreement. This was indeed better than staying in the academy.

He doesn't need the theoretical knowledge that schools teach him, and as for practical combat, there are few in the academy who can beat him.

Even among all the students in the outer academy, probably no one could beat him, so there's really not much point in practicing combat here.

It's also good to gain some practical experience at the Ascension Platform.

"I've approved two months for you. When the time is up, go and come back quickly."

As Wu Changkong spoke, he quickly wrote down his thoughts on the table in front of him.

"Thank you, dance teacher."

……

Still traveling by Soul Guidance Train, Lin Xingyu arrived at Heaven Dou City smoothly in just half a day.

Following the road, I easily arrived at Zhenhua's office, but I didn't see Zhenhua. Instead, I saw Muye there.

"Teacher!" Lin Xingyu called out.

"Here you are. Zhenhua was busy until this morning last night and just went to rest. Is everything arranged?" Mu Ye asked.

"Everything has been arranged. I've already asked the academy for leave," Lin Xingyu said.

"Go into the Ascension Platform yourself. It's quite effective for actual combat inside. Go in a few more times and stay for a longer period of time, and I'll get you a few more admission tickets."

Makino nodded and said.

With Lin Xingyu's current strength, if he wants to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, he can only enter the intermediate or advanced Spirit Ascension Platform.

The maximum soul power level for an intermediate-level Holy Spirit Platform is 69.

As for staying a little longer, Lin Xingyu doesn't care at all these days.

Since reaching level 50 and awakening his domain, his domain is now filled with a considerable amount of armor.

His current location is a simple simulated training ground, and after condensing his soul core, he continuously draws vital energy from heaven and earth.

The speed of cultivation has been greatly improved.

In addition, he also gains power from the demon plane for free and occasionally takes one or two pills.

Nowadays, all kinds of cultivation buffs can be said to be stacked to the maximum.

Only a top-tier simulated training ground would be worth his time.

Such simulated training grounds generally have a huge impact, as they are all naturally formed environments that cannot be constructed by any force.

“However, given my own need for spiritual energy, the intermediate-level Spirit Ascension Platform in Tiandou City might not be able to meet my requirements,” Lin Xingyu said.

"It's alright, we can just travel to a few more cities. It's a pity we don't have the spirit pearls inside the Spirit Pagoda, otherwise you wouldn't have to travel to different cities," Mu Ye said with some regret.

As for why not go to the advanced spirit ascension platform, firstly, it is more dangerous there, as the starting point is ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, and beast kings of fifty thousand years or more are quite common.

Secondly, the tickets for the advanced Spirit Ascension Platform are extremely expensive; Lin Xingyu felt a pang of pain just looking at the price.

After all, the energy required to create a ten-thousand-year soul beast by the Spirit Pagoda is on a completely different level than that required to create a thousand-year soul beast.

"What is a Spirit Pearl?" Lin Xingyu asked curiously.

"I don't know exactly what it is, I only know that it's for the use of the Spirit Pagoda and is a creation made of pure spiritual energy," Mu Ye said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xingyu instantly formed a general guess.

The spiritual energy inside the Ascension Platform was developed by the Spirit Pagoda after it obtained fragments of the divine realm.

Since they can transform these powers into soul beasts, it wouldn't be a problem for them to directly transform them into spirit beads that people can absorb.

"The benefits are really good..."

Lin Xingyu felt a pang of envy.

“I’ve gotten you a few tickets to the Spirit Ascension Platforms in each city. You can just go through them in order. It’ll also count as part of your travels across the continent,” Mu Ye said.

"it is good!"

……

The Spirit Tower of Tiandou City.

Lin Xingyu went through the entire process smoothly and, after being handled by the staff, successfully arrived at the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform.

Looking at the surrounding forest and feeling the rich life force in the air, Lin Xingyu let out a soft breath.

After the martial spirit possessed the body, two spirits emerged from the left and right sides respectively.

On her left shoulder, a delicately crafted little figure, like a figurine, appeared—it was Aya.

On the right, accompanied by the booming thunder, a vine clung tightly to Lin Xingyu.

Thunder Hell Vine!
"This time, you two will be mainly responsible for the actual work. Let me see your progress," Lin Xingyu said, glancing at the two spirits on his left and right.

"Wow!" Aya exclaimed excitedly, as it was a rare opportunity for them to take action.

Lei Mingyan Yuteng on the right simply shook his head slightly, indicating that he understood.

The Spirit Ascension Platform of the Spirit Transmission Tower is modeled after the Star Dou Great Forest from ten thousand years ago. The primary Spirit Ascension Platform simulates the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest from ten thousand years ago, while the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform simulates the outer layer of the Star Dou Great Forest, and the advanced Spirit Ascension Platform simulates the mixed layer.

In the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, most of the soul beasts are around six thousand years old, and ten-thousand-year soul beasts are extremely rare.

With Lin Xingyu's strength, unless he encounters some particularly monstrous soul beasts here, he can just go around killing them indiscriminately.

So he decided to train his two spirits.

There are two thresholds for a soul to break through ten thousand years and one hundred thousand years.

While the spiritual energy within the Ascension Platform can help souls extend their lifespan, it has no effect on this threshold.

To achieve a breakthrough, the Soul Master and Soul Spirit need to have sufficient enlightenment.

Aya broke through ten thousand years because Lin Xingyu kept pushing her, forcing her to constantly use her soul skills, which in turn strengthened her understanding of them.

In addition, there was the help provided by Lin Xingyu.

Although he trains both of his spirits regularly, actual combat is the best way to test their abilities.

Intermediate-level Spirit Ascension Platforms are generally used by spirit beasts around six thousand years old, and two spirits can handle them.
