Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 174 Set off again
"There's nothing we can do. There's some scoundrel in the God Realm who's been eyeing our disciple with a predatory gaze."

Although the disciple possesses some means to counter him, the inability to ascertain the specific situation in the divine realm remains a major drawback.

"So, just in case, I took some precautions beforehand."

"But I won't have to be so careful for long. I've already come up with a plan to completely disable him from interfering in the Douluo Continent, and then I'll need Master's help."

The words that could shatter a person's worldview were spoken so lightly by Lin Po that the old man in front of him almost fainted.

Zhongli Wu now deeply regrets asking that damned question. What's the use of knowing so much? If you can't figure it out, so be it.

How wonderful it would be to be like before, knowing nothing, carefree, and only needing to follow orders and do the work.

It really proves the old saying, "Curiosity killed the cat."

But now everyone knows that as a teacher, and a Limit Douluo, one cannot show weakness in front of one's disciples.

"Ahem. I understand. Just tell me what you need me to do."

Unfortunately, Zhongli Wu's feigned composure looked ridiculous to Lin Po, but to save face for him, he didn't make any sarcastic remarks and continued talking about the current situation.

"Moreover, although the previous methods were mild, they were still quite deadly to Shrek."

"I just received the information from Wu San yesterday."

Since the end of the Soul Battle Tournament, as of yesterday, two-thirds of Shrek Academy's outer court students have left. Those remaining are mostly commoners and students qualified for the inner court.

"As for the inner court's direct descendants, although there has been no news of anyone leaving, quite a few have died recently."

"Looking at it this way, those evil soul masters have really done a great job. Even Wu San has asked the Holy Church for 'support' more than once."

At this point, Lin Po's smile grew even wider, because the results were much better than he had imagined.

He could certainly guess that this must be because Mu En was really angry. Otherwise, those old men from the Sea God Pavilion who were just sitting around doing nothing wouldn't have been able to run all over the continent and find so many evil soul masters.

The campaign to eradicate the deep-seated problems of the Holy Church was therefore much better than Lin Po had anticipated.

Although those evil soul masters were not as good as Shrek Academy students at the Title Douluo level, they had a lot of them and specifically targeted the inner court students with low cultivation levels.

For a time, the two sides really got into a fight, and even Xuanzi made a move.

"Now, apart from those who have already been eliminated, the church is divided into two factions: one advocates war, and the other advocates continuing to hide."

"So I hope that you, teacher, can find a way to send them all out in the next month."

Those who advocated war were thrown into the Douluo Three Kingdoms, while those who advocated peace were temporarily stationed near Hanhai City.

Zhongli Wu nodded after a moment's thought, indicating that he understood.

Although he still couldn't understand why he was sending evil spirit masters to Hanhai City, this time he learned his lesson: if his disciple didn't say, he wouldn't ask. Knowing too much would only cause a headache; he would just follow orders.

However, Lin Po, unaware of Zhong Liwu's thoughts, smiled with relief after seeing his teacher nod in agreement, thinking that he had finally understood his ideas.

"Let's leave the Douluo Three Kingdoms situation as it is for now. After being scared by me once, they probably won't dare to get close to Shrek Academy again unless there is a real life-or-death crisis. There's no need to push them too hard."

"Finally, there is Mingdu. Teacher, please take good care of it. When I return from this trip, it will be a time of great change."

Upon hearing this, Zhongli Wu was not concerned about the various arrangements Lin Po mentioned, but rather that he was about to go on another journey.

"Hmm? You're going out again?"

Lin Po nodded helplessly.

He didn't want to either, but he had promised to go to both the Star Dou Great Forest and the Body Sect a long time ago, and it had been delayed for too long.

Besides, he still needs a lot of time to analyze his four 100,000-year soul rings, which, at the current pace, will take at least several months.

"There's no other way; there are some things I have to do in person."

"Since that's the case, then I won't say anything more. I will do my best to oversee these matters. However..."

As he spoke, Zhongli Wu seemed to remember something, his brows furrowed, and his tone became somewhat hesitant. "My mother and Uncle Long seem to have some particular opinion about you, but I don't know if it's good or bad."

On one side are two seniors with whom he has a close relationship, and on the other side are his beloved disciples. Zhongli Wu is truly in a dilemma at this moment.

Lin Po didn't have any other thoughts about this. Under normal circumstances, the only things those two could do to him were Mu En and Yan Shaozhe.

As long as these two people don't die at his hands, they won't be able to find a suitable reason to bypass Zhongli Wu and target him.

But if that crazy woman Ye Xishui really goes berserk, there's nothing he can do. In that case, he'll just have to call Di Tian over and kill her.

After feeling much more at ease, he comforted Zhongli Wu, who was filled with anxiety and uncertainty.

"Don't worry, Master. The two elders won't target me."

"That's right. After all, you are my disciple. I'm sure those two wouldn't have any ill intentions."

Lin Po's eyelids twitched upon hearing this; his teacher really knew how to save face.

After finishing their business, the master and disciple chatted about everyday matters and cultivation, something they hadn't done in a long time. After all, as a Limit Douluo on the human side, Zhongli Wu could offer him far more experience than Xue Di and the others.

They chatted until the full moon rose, and only when they realized that Zhang Lexuan and the other women were almost at the Marquis's mansion did the two stop talking.

"I won't disturb your love life any longer, young man. Remember to have a child soon, I'm also looking forward to holding my grand-disciple!"

Lin Po was speechless at the identical marriage-urging pronouncements. Just as she was about to retort, Zhong Liwu's figure vanished from the spot.

"Tch, what's the rush?"

At the same time, the chattering outside the door became clearer. Lin Po's disdain vanished, and he went to greet them with a big smile.

. . .

Adhering to the principle of being early rather than late, Lin Po set off early the next morning for his first stop, the Starry Sky Forest.

Because he left the Star Dou Great Forest in such a hurry last time, Lin Po did not leave any teleportation marks.

Therefore, he had to be teleported to that small border town of the Star Luo Empire, and then fly to the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest on his own.

During his journey, Lin Po couldn't help but recall the women's reactions the previous night when they learned he was about to leave; their faces showed signs of fatigue.

Ling Luochen and Ning Tian were alright; they had just joined and were exhausted both physically and mentally, so they had no mind to care about Lin Po's affairs.

But Meng Hongchen and Xiao Xiao, those two little girls, are different.

Upon learning that Lin Po would be gone for at least a year, she immediately burst into tears, and it took Lin Po a great deal of effort to comfort her.

Then, before he could even calm down, Han Ruoruo suddenly burst into tears again, crying and saying that Lin Po didn't want her anymore.

This commotion instantly attracted everyone's attention. Even Zhang Lexuan, who already knew about it, forced back two tears and sat silently to the side.

The sounds of crying rising and falling inside the house, along with everyone's clumsy acting, left Lin Po both amused and exasperated.

However, even though Lin Po knew they were trying to distract him, he still felt very sorry for them and hurriedly comforted the women.

Only after everyone had fallen asleep did Lin Po finally get a moment of peace.

"These girls, even if they feel sorry for me running around, they don't need to cry so hard. Anyone who didn't know better would think I'd died."

As the memories faded, Lin Po muttered a helpless complaint, but the doting look on his face remained.

Before long, a figure suddenly streaked across the sky above the Star Dou Great Forest.

Looking down at the vast and boundless primeval forest, Lin Po instantly lost any desire to fly.

"We've arrived. Let's call for people... no, let's call for the dragon."

Having said that, they reconnected with the silver-white dragon scale in the sea of ​​spirits after a long absence.
