Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 189 Powerful or Not
Huo Yuhao's good intentions and the harmonious atmosphere made Lin Po lose the will to interrupt, and he could only hold Vina's hand and watch silently from the side.

You'll benefit from both sides, so there's no need to overturn the table after enjoying the good food.

Moreover, the statement that he couldn't be poisoned to death is not wrong; Lin Po really couldn't teach Huo Yuhao this kind of cultivation.

Even if he doesn't die from poison and doesn't mention martial soul cultivation, he still needs to find a martial soul teacher for Huo Yuhao.

Now it's just right. With Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming carefully teaching him about soul tools, and with the Martial Soul of Undying Poison, he's even more suitable for the Limit Douluo than Mu En in the original work.

It's packed with features in every aspect.

At the same time, Lin Po's arrangements for Huo Yuhao came to an end.

He has done all he can; now it's up to him to see what kind of fruit the sapling he's nurtured will bear in the future.

After a while, seeing that it was getting dark and the sun was beginning to set, Lin Po pulled Vina forward and interrupted Du Busi and the others who were talking non-stop.

"That's about enough, old man! How dare you say you'd give the sect leader position to Yuhao? What about Little Dragon Man?"

"So what? I know that boy Aotian. Compared to the position of sect leader, he still hopes to become an unparalleled powerhouse."

Believe it or not, the first thing Aotian will do after he wakes up is ask me for permission to cultivate by your side!

Hearing Lin Po's sarcasm, Du Busi waved his hand dismissively, his nonchalant words and tone giving the Golden Body Douluo a real headache.

My older brother is as carefree as ever, and this carefree attitude has become even more pronounced because of pushing his limits.

They don't even care much about the successor who was chosen early on.

As for Lin Po, he was even more troubled. He really couldn't handle someone like Long Aotian who was so stubborn about a certain matter.

Huo Yuhao was already giving him a huge headache; if Long Aotian were to join in, his brain would probably explode on the spot.

He immediately began to decline.

"Don't be like that. After I return to Sun and Moon, I will go into seclusion, and I won't be coming out for a long time."

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been in such a hurry to come out this time.

"Tsk. Alright then, it's settled then. After you come out of seclusion, you'll have a fight with me first. I suppose you've been out in the world for so long, and you haven't even had a satisfactory battle yet."

Du Bu Si clicked his tongue, lightly brushing aside the matter of Long Ao Tian, ​​and then brought up Lin Po's own problem.

He just wanted to test Lin Po's attitude. It would be best if he could get Lin Po to keep Long Aotian by his side, but if not, there would be no loss.

Of course, the reason for the challenge also lies with the "Poison Never Dies" theory. With Lin Po's strength, how many of the super Douluo on the continent could rival him?

Even Lao Jin beside him was a bit lacking. If a real fight broke out, he couldn't say for sure what would happen to Lin Po, but Lao Jin would definitely die.

However, the main reason was that he wanted to retaliate slightly for what Lin Po had done a year ago.

Back then, thanks to his spatial soul skill, he managed to survive the poison, which was quite a rare feat.

However, he had many concerns at the time and dared not make a move. Now that he has broken through his limits, he really can't bring himself to bully a Soul Saint.

That's when they found a suitable reason to arrange this battle.

Lin Po had no objection to this, of course. After so many battles that were neither particularly strong nor weak, he no longer had an accurate sense of his own combat strength.

"Okay, it's settled then. I'd also like to see my full strength now."

"Hahaha, I knew you looked cunning, but deep down you're just like me, you love to fight!"

"Get lost! Who's like you! You old bachelor!"

Hey, you little punk! Don't bring this up again if you dare!

And so, under the astonished gazes of everyone, the old man and the young boy walked toward the reception room.

Seeing the two walk away, the Golden Body Douluo quickly sorted out his chaotic thoughts and looked at Vina with a slightly complicated expression.

"Vina, have things always been like this between Big Brother and Elder Lin?"

Vina, who was already used to it, covered her mouth and chuckled as she answered the Golden Elder's question.

"Although it looks a bit strange, the relationship between the sect leader and Brother Linpo is indeed very good."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, but helplessly pretended not to see anything and continued with their usual routines. They couldn't defeat either of these two powerful figures and dared not risk offending them.

Not long after, at the banquet, Poison Undying was pulling Golden Body Douluo into a drinking contest, while around them lay a pile of elders who had been drunk to the point of unconsciousness.

If it weren't for the age of Lin Po and the others, they would probably be lying on the ground right now.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Du Bu Si abruptly turned to look at Lin Po, and, emboldened by alcohol, said in a carefree manner:
"Lin boy! There's no time like the present, why don't we set off for Shrek tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, the Golden Body Douluo, who had been in a daze, instantly sobered up. He disregarded the agreement before drinking that he was not allowed to use his soul power to dispel the effects of the alcohol and hurriedly mobilized his soul power to clear his mind.

Then, holding Poison Undying's arm tightly, he said with a serious expression:

"Big brother, are you sure you want to do this?! If you do, our Body Sect will have to face Shrek Academy again!"

However, the only response he received was the clarity in the dark green eyes of the Undying Poison, and a voice that was extremely calm yet tinged with guilt.

"Old Jin, it seems that I, as your elder brother, have ultimately hindered your cultivation."

Because of my capricious nature, I entrusted all the affairs of the sect, big and small, to you alone, which not only caused you to lose your former vigor but also left you with insufficient time for cultivation.

Otherwise, given your physical body, martial spirit, and talent, you wouldn't have wasted so many years at level 96.

Poison Undying's apology momentarily stunned the Golden Body Douluo, but he quickly recovered and waved it off without a care.

"Brother, don't tease me. The decision to take over the sect's affairs was my own idea, and it had nothing to do with you."

"But what my brother said is right. I have indeed become much more lax in recent years. Even Shrek Academy makes me hesitate!"

After saying that, the Golden Body Douluo smiled freely. In just a few words, his strong heart and nature made him regain his sharpness as a Soul Master, and his state of mind was sublimated in an instant.

Those who remained conscious could clearly sense the constant surge of energy emanating from his body, a sign that he was about to break through.

"Since you have made this decision, then let's wait another day and allow the sect disciples to recover!"

At that time, we will bring all the elders and disciples above the Soul Douluo level to Shrek Academy to announce the existence of our Body Sect to the world!

"That's great! We'll do as you say! Old Jin! Let's have another drink!"

"Dry!"

The two started another round of drinking contest on their own. Although Du Bu Si asked Lin Po for his opinion, he never gave him a chance to respond.

Looking at the two spirited old men in front of him, Lin Po felt a strange pang of envy.

It seems that since he can remember, he has never had the experience of having a heart-to-heart talk with his brothers, let alone imagine what it feels like.

Whether it is the past or the present.

Vina, who had been keeping a close eye on Lin Po, also noticed her fiancé's unusual behavior at this moment.

However, Vina, who also didn't understand brotherhood, couldn't offer Lin Po any comfort. She could only hold Lin Po's big hand tightly and tell him that she would always be by his side.

Feeling the warmth in her hand, Lin Po broke free from his memories, and his gaze towards Vina softened even more.

'Given my personality, it's impossible for me to have the same brotherly bond as Du Bu Si.'

Rather than chasing after what is unattainable, cherish what you have now and avoid future regrets.

At this moment, Lin Po's state of mind also suddenly improved, and the sudden change also made Du Busi and the others turn their attention.

After glancing at Lin Po to confirm that he was alright, he looked away and continued drinking.

Huo Yuhao, who had been eating in a daze the whole time, looked up at Lin Po for the first time after sitting down at the table. The stupidity in his eyes made Lin Po sigh and rub his forehead.

"It's okay, just eat!"

"Oh. Brother Lin, try this, it's delicious!"

Looking down at the unknown soul beast meat in the bowl, and then at Huo Yuhao's expectant face, Lin Po felt both gratified and helpless.

"This is probably how those scrutinizers saw me when I first graduated."
