Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 166 Stormy Sea
"If that's the case, then your situation will be much easier to handle from here on out."

Mu Ye didn't press further. After confirming Lin Xingyu's situation, he immediately shifted his focus to how to continue the second awakening process for Lin Xingyu.

Everyone has their own opportunities, and forcing questions will only alienate people.

As Lin Xingyu's teacher, all he needed to do was make sure his student wasn't an ingrate.

Furthermore, as the leader of a sect, one must sometimes learn to turn a deaf ear, otherwise there will be many more headaches.

To be precise, Mu Ye himself did not have much hope for Lin Xingyu's second martial soul awakening at this time.

The stronger the martial spirit and the better the foundation, the more difficult it is to complete a second awakening.

He did this simply to fulfill his responsibilities as a teacher.

Otherwise, if Lin Xingyu had joined the Body Sect, and I had only provided some guidance, I would have felt that I was not a very good teacher.

Today's training session was more about giving Lin Xingyu a comprehensive polishing experience.

By applying sufficient pressure to his body, soul power, and spirit, he can achieve a comprehensive breakthrough and complete the second awakening of his martial soul.

During this process, each time you push your limits, your body will be under tremendous pressure, resulting in a certain degree of overexertion.

To deal with this overdraft, Makino prepared a large amount of medicine in the hope of replenishing his energy, but it was difficult to fully restore it.

"In that case, you might be able to revise your exercise plan."

At this point, Makino's expression suddenly turned serious.

"When our sect performs a second martial soul awakening for its disciples, it is usually only done once, and each time it only lasts forty-nine days. There are specific rules for this."

"The secret techniques of sects pursue innate perfection, but this kind of acquired, grueling training will always leave some flaws."

"Even if we try our best to use various drugs to make up for it, the whole process will more or less cause some damage to the source."

"This kind of damage is difficult to repair with ordinary rare and precious herbs, but with the help of the sect's medicine, the impact is not significant."

"But if the process is repeated several times, the impact will be enormous, and even the medicines in the sect cannot make up for it. Therefore, the process of the second awakening of a martial soul can only be carried out once in a lifetime."

"If you possess the Gold of Life, you can extend the time appropriately. There are few treasures in this world that can replenish a person's essence."

Feeling the pain emanating from all parts of his body, Lin Xingyu's mood became even heavier after hearing Mu Ye's explanation.

I originally thought I only needed to persist for forty-nine days to finish, but you told me that my training time is uncertain, but it will definitely be much longer?

Without waiting for Lin Xingyu's reply, Mu Ye turned and walked out.

A moment later, Mu Ye came in carrying two large plates and placed them on the edge of Lin Xingyu's wooden bucket.

Open the lid to reveal fresh fish meat inside.

"Eat something first. We've just left the continental boundaries, and there aren't many soul beasts left. I went down and caught some, but they were all thousand years old. I didn't even encounter a single ten-thousand-year-old one."

As human influence gradually extends into the ocean, many powerful spirit beasts have chosen to flee to the deep sea.

Those who stubbornly stayed behind were basically dealt with by humans.

The time required for soul beasts to grow is far too long. Even if their cultivation level increases by several years or even ten years per year instead of one year, it is still far from comparable to that of humans.

Lin Xingyu nodded, enduring the excruciating pain, and struggled to raise his arm.

He picked up the utensils next to him, cut the fish in front of him into several large pieces, and then put them directly into his mouth.

They didn't even chew before wolfing it down.

The whole thing was more like eating than actually eating.

During his training, he not only had to cope with the water pressure of the deep sea and the rapidly changing environment, but also had to resist the force exerted on him by Makino.

The consumption of vital energy, soul power, and mental energy can be described as quite large.

The repair provided by the Life Gold and medicinal baths focuses more on the fundamental repair of the body's cells and tissues, a process that also consumes a certain amount of energy.

He feels quite hungry right now.

He could be said to have swallowed all the soul beast meat that Mu Ye brought him directly.

After all, simply enduring hardship doesn't necessarily make you a superior person, but learning to eat genius beast treasures will definitely make you a superior person.

After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Xingyu lay contentedly in the medicinal bath tub.

Three parts training, seven parts diet, and the remaining ninety parts rely entirely on medicine.

If you want to become a strong person, how can you not learn how to use medicine?
As for whether doing this will affect one's potential, just kidding, is Douluo Continent a place that emphasizes foundation?
Well, he dared to do that only because the rare and precious treasures he used were of a high enough level.

Moreover, it is also strengthened in all aspects and is powerful.

Unlike traditional soul masters who use medicine, they simply accumulate soul power, even sacrificing other aspects of themselves to increase their soul power.

With a weak body and a listless spirit, there is almost no way to improve or develop one's martial spirit, let alone gain any insight or understanding.

Even if you pile up your soul power like that, you'll just be a big cannon fodder. Putting aside everything else, you can't even control your own soul power. What potential do soul masters who improve like that have?

Seeing Lin Xingyu's satisfied expression after eating and drinking, Mu Ye turned and left the room.

He quickly returned to his bedroom and retrieved the prepared medicine.

When he arrived, Makino prepared the medicine he had accumulated over most of his life into forty-nine doses.

It was supposed to be once a day, but after seeing the Life Gold on Lin Xingyu's body, Mu Ye decided to modify the plan.

Reducing the medication dosage appropriately and extending the treatment period would increase the chances of awakening.

……

Thus began Lin Xingyu's painful yet joyful cultivation journey in the sea.

It was truly painful.

After leaving the continental framework, the depth of the seabed increased day by day, and each time Makino pressed him down to the depths of the sea at an astonishing speed.

The immense pressure generated by this process is due to Lin Xingyu's excellent physical condition.

If it were anyone else, even a powerful offensive Soul King, they would have already perished here.

As the water depth increased, Makino no longer dared to play the deep-sea disco game; instead, he was quickly pinned to the seabed.

Under such terrifying pressure, in this process of destruction and rebirth every day.

All of Lin Xingyu's attributes grew at an astonishing rate during this process.

Each time, the blood and qi become more vigorous, the blood exchange process is greatly accelerated, the mental power becomes more solidified in the process of confrontation, and even the soul power becomes solidified under this pressure.

The boost brought about by this cultivation method is enormous.

He said it was painful because he was really in pain.

In the depths of the ocean, hundreds or thousands of meters below the surface, the terrifying pressure exceeded the limits of what his body could withstand.

After entering the deep sea, Lin Xingyu needed to mobilize all the strength in his body to protect himself every minute and every second.

At this depth, most people may not have a clear understanding, but the pressure at this location is enough to flatten ordinary metal.

Each time he was pinned to the seabed, Makino would watch him intently from the side.

Lin Xingyu was fighting against the extreme pressure around him in the seawater.

Whenever he felt he had reached his limit and wanted to struggle and leave.

Makino's hand would fall again, pressing him down into the depths of the sea, rendering him unable to move.

Even though he knew Makino would be watching him carefully and that he probably wouldn't die, the fear in his heart was still indescribable, accompanied by waves of pain.

In this situation, Lin Xingyu could only struggle instinctively.

The feeling of death constantly approaching, yet never arriving.

Every day feels like a resurrection match.

It was painful, yet it also carried a sense of pleasure.

Both physical and mental states were pushed to their limits time and time again under such conditions.

Throughout this process, Lin Xingyu constantly experienced the changes within himself.

After becoming familiar with this feeling of being at the limit time and time again, Lin Xingyu's will became more resilient, and he even gradually felt a sense of detachment.

In that state, he felt something similar to a "high-dimensional vision," but it was a completely different experience.

Although the person is trapped inside the body, their consciousness observes their own struggles and changes from a unique perspective.

Seventh day.

Lin Xingyu's soul power directly achieved a breakthrough.

The twelfth day.

Makino looked at the crimson-gold light emanating from Lin Xingyu with some surprise.

Although the second awakening of the martial soul has not yet been completed, the potential within the body and the martial soul has begun to be unleashed.

The person has returned to normal routines.

From that day on, Muye intensified his search for spirit beasts in the surrounding area.

Mu Ye didn't let go of any of the rare thousand-year-old soul beasts, or even some ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts he encountered because they were far from the continental shelf.

They were all turned into supplements to satisfy Lin Xingyu's increasingly large appetite.

Now that Lin Xingyu is at full power, he can actually eat more food than his own weight in one sitting.

Even after eating, there wasn't much change in her overall appearance.

Day 36.

Looking at the huge storm on the distant sea, Makino took a deep breath.

We've arrived at the stormy sea area!

He glanced at the somewhat flustered crew members on the ship and briefly calmed them down.

Makino immediately gave the order to set off.

The money has already been given to their families, so it's impossible for them to back out now.

As usual, Lin Xingyu woke up in bed, got dressed, and looked at himself in the mirror.

At this point, Lin Xingyu's height had reached 1.82 meters, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should grow even taller.

"I wonder if it can grow to two meters." After muttering to himself, Lin Xingyu thought about Mu Ye and Aruheng's appearance, and finally shook his head.

If it grows a little longer, it will be about 1.9 meters tall.

Moderate exercise attracts the opposite sex, while excessive exercise attracts the same sex. He doesn't want to become a muscular man for the time being.

His crimson eyes shone like the blazing sun, radiating intense light. His eyebrows were straight and long, and even after this period of training, his skin remained as smooth and lustrous as jade.

However, as he grew older, although he still looked handsome, he developed a sharper, more angular look.

It's increasingly giving off a fierce vibe.

His muscle definition is quite obvious, but he doesn't have the typical muscular physique of a bodybuilder.

With a wasp waist and long arms, the muscles of the person are remarkably smooth.

After packing my clothes, I went up to the deck.

Looking at the gloomy sky and feeling the omnipresent storm all around, huge waves rose and fell on the sea from time to time, and the ships bobbed up and down again and again.

"We've arrived!"

Seeing Lin Xingyu approaching, Mu Ye said in a deep voice.

"Go down."

Without giving Lin Xingyu a chance to refuse, Mu Ye once again pushed him into the seawater.

As soon as he came down, Lin Xingyu realized the difference between this seabed and other seabeds.

Whirlpools are everywhere beneath the sea surface, with various forces constantly crashing in.

This made Lin Xingyu feel quite uncomfortable.

Normally, we only have to deal with the pressure on the seabed, but now we also have to deal with ocean currents from all over the world.

Moreover, the incoming ocean currents are quite unstable, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.

It can be said that it directly disrupted his breathing, causing his overall energy expenditure to more than double.

After Lin Xingyu passed out, Mu Ye skillfully scooped him onto the boat, massaged him, and then placed him in a medicine tub.

Once Lin Xingyu's life force had stabilized, Mu Ye turned and left, bringing over all sorts of seafood that he hadn't been able to catch in his spare time.

Within a month, Lin Xingyu's soul power was boosted by one level again under this pressure.

It was so fast it was almost frightening.

Their physical strength has also improved considerably.

With gradual adaptation, he was able to descend to a depth of 8,000 meters.

The fluctuations in his bloodline became increasingly obvious.

Day 49.

From that day on, after gradually adapting to the underwater environment, Lin Xingyu had a new task.

Every day after he enters the seabed, Mu Ye would randomly capture some soul beasts from the surrounding area.

The soul beasts were lured to Lin Xingyu's front, allowing Lin Xingyu to deal with these deep-sea soul beasts in the ocean.

From the initial thousand years to the later ten thousand years.

The difficulty can be said to increase gradually.

Soul beasts can perform at their best in the seabed because of their physical structure, but Lin Xingyu himself is not so comfortable.

At first, there were only a few thousand-year-old soul beasts, but he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood. It took him quite a while to deal with them.

The advantage of the location was simply too great, and the situation only improved significantly after we gradually adapted.

"Here we go again?"

Sensing the fluctuations not far away, Lin Xingyu couldn't help but perk up.

"I wonder what kind of spirit beast it will be this time."
