Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 199 Heart-killing
Hyotei's uninhibited intimacy quickly escalated the feelings between the two.

They had only just started dating, yet they acted like newlyweds, constantly playing and joking around.

Suddenly, Hyotei seemed to remember something and lightly jumped off Lin Po's shoulder.

Then, floating in mid-air, level with Lin Po, she stared intently into his distinctive eyes and whispered:
"Lin Po, I want to be like Xue'er and become the second spirit in the spirit world."

Lin Po was taken aback by the unexpected decision. Why did Bing'er also want to become a spirit being?
"Bing'er, are you sure? You need to know that your situation is different from Xue'er's. She was born and raised in her own race, while you have your own clan behind you."

"Of course I know! Don't treat me like an idiot!"

Hyotei rolled her eyes in annoyance, her puffed-up face prompting Lin Po to subconsciously poke her cheek.

"Then tell me, what good ideas do you have?"

"Hmph! Let me become the second spirit in the spirit world first, and then when you become stronger, or after the spirit world advances, I will transform the entire Ice Jade Scorpion clan into spirits."

Thus, the Ice Jade Scorpion clan becomes the first native race in the Spirit Realm! I remain the clan leader of the Ice Jade Scorpion!

That's quite a loud calculation; it could be heard even from the icy plains thousands of miles away.

In fact, Lin Po had considered actively converting a race long after he transformed the Snow Emperor.

After all, the benefits are truly substantial.

But after thinking it over again and again, he still managed to shake the idea out of his mind.

The reason is simple: in the short term, the losses outweigh the gains.

Transforming only a small number of soul beast races will not have an immediate effect on him.

The time spent is not proportional to the immediate benefits.

But transforming all the soul beasts was too difficult for him at that time.

If he really did that, he wouldn't have to do anything else for a considerable period of time; the sheer number of soul beasts in the far north alone would keep him busy for a year and a half.

However, since Hyotei has made the suggestion, this matter can be put on the agenda.

Anyway, once the spirit realm advances, the upper limit of one's authority will be higher, and the conversion efficiency will be faster.

After gathering his thoughts, Lin Po nodded in agreement.

"Alright, when do you plan to start the conversion?"

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Hyotei smiled again and sat back on Lin Po's shoulder.

"No rush, you can transform it when you need your eighth spirit ring."

"Hmm? You're even willing to sacrifice yourself for me to make my eighth spirit ring?"

"What?! Is that not allowed?! Do you think I'm too young?!"

"No, no, I'm just a little surprised!"

"Hmph! I knew you wouldn't dare!"

The sweet voice echoed in his ears, and Lin Po smiled helplessly yet indulgently, respecting her decision.

How could he not understand Hyotei's thoughts? It can only be said that a girl's feelings can sometimes be truly profound.

A moment later, looking at the two seemingly dying old men in front of him, Lin Po expressionlessly removed the blockade on his five senses.

“Moun, Yan Shaozhe, there’s no need to play the dead trick anymore. In this world, I am a god, and nothing can escape my perception.”

After saying that, Yan Shaozhe still didn't react, but Mu En's dry lips moved slightly, and he said intermittently:
"Lin Po, what else do you want?! Shrek Academy is already destroyed, aren't you satisfied yet?"

The mournful and deathly voice did not evoke the slightest sympathy from Lin Po; his indifferent expression revealed no true emotion whatsoever.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. I've only destroyed Shrek Academy, while your Sea God Pavilion elders are still alive and well."

I suppose they're plotting to seize my property right now.

Besides, old man, you don't really think that Shrek Academy is something I'd go to such lengths to target, do you?

Shrek's meager wealth is nothing compared to all the effort he's put in.
On his deathbed, Moon's mind and courage seemed to have returned to those of his youth, and he immediately grasped the most crucial information from Lin Po's pointed words.

"What you want is... the Golden Tree?! No, wait, it's not just God... it's Tang San's ancestor?!"

"Not bad. Whether it's wisdom, methods, or courage, you are quite qualified as the head of the Sea God Pavilion in every aspect, especially compared to Xuanzi and the others."

Unfortunately, you chose the wrong side and the wrong person.

Lin Po's voice was very clear and bright, and even Mu En, whose life was about to be extinguished, could hear every word clearly.

However, he was too weak to make any sound anymore; he could only stare at Lin Po with resentful eyes.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, at least you can still become nourishment for the advancement of the spirit realm."

"Go." As soon as the words fell, an ancient three-legged cauldron, four meters in size and four meters in length, appeared out of thin air beside Lin Po, emanating an aura that was difficult for ordinary people to describe.

Unable to move, Mu En could only watch helplessly as he was slowly pushed into the giant cauldron, unable to understand what Lin Po was trying to do.

On the other hand, after finishing his preparations, Lin Po suddenly had a mischievous urge, and then he curled up the corners of his mouth and started talking to himself.

"By the way, there's something you might be very interested in."

"I joined the Holy Spirit Cult after I was 'killed' by you. The so-called Holy Spirit Cult is the organization formed by the evil soul masters that your Shrek Inspection Team has been hunting down."

"You are also familiar with the two strongest among them. One is named Long Xiaoyao, and the other is named Ye Xishui."

Oh, they also have a grandson, I think his surname is Yan.

No sooner had the words been spoken than a series of groaning and struggling sounds came from inside the giant cauldron.

Moon's life force had actually grown stronger.

"A final burst of energy before death? It seems you're not much better than Long Xiaoyao, old man. You've got some problems with your head."

Seeing this, Lin Po smiled contemptuously. Mu En's improved condition was more to his liking.

To save him from dying during the smelting process, causing unnecessary loss of the source.

Then, under the curious gaze of the Ice Emperor, Lin Po lit a flame fueled by the world's origin and threw it under the giant cauldron.

In an instant, a dense stream of light energy surged forth from the mouth of the cauldron, spreading in all directions.

Ignoring the giant cauldron, Lin Po turned to look at Yan Shaozhe, who was still pretending to be dead.

"Yan Shaozhe, you are more tolerant than I thought. You didn't even utter a sound when you saw your teacher being refined to death."

Even when Mu En was mentioned, Yan Shaozhe remained unmoved, focusing solely on finding a way to mobilize his soul power.

"Tsk tsk, since you're not interested, why don't you talk about your long-standing doubts?"

Do you want to know why you can't break through level 96?
Do you also want to know why, as the possessor of the Phoenix of Light, you lack the righteous spirit that a Spirit Master of Light should possess, and instead have a petty and narrow-minded personality?

Provoked by Lin Po's words, these two questions that had plagued Yan Shaozhe for decades finally caused a slight fluctuation in his state of mind.

Although he was still motionless like a dead man, Lin Po already knew that the move had worked.

"Tsk tsk, the descendant of Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, and your teacher is Mu En. You have three Limitless people standing behind you without knowing it. What a waste of such a powerful background."

Yan Shaozhe: "?"

As Mu En's disciple, how could he not be familiar with the names Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao?

However, these two people, one is an evil soul master and the other is a dark holy dragon, they seem to have nothing to do with me at all!

This beast must be lying to himself! He must be!

Seeing Yan Shaozhe's increasingly rapid breathing, Lin Po quickly guessed what he was thinking.

He then took a step closer and whispered in his ear:

"It's laughable, really. In other people's eyes, Ye Xishui, whose talent is inferior to the Light and Dark Twin Sacred Dragons, is actually a Twin Martial Soul."

However, out of fear of the Holy Church's power, the second martial soul, the Bright Phoenix, never added any soul rings.

What a waste of such excellent talent.

Yan Shaozhe: "!!!"

Yan Shaozhe kept trying to convince himself that the beast in front of him was talking nonsense, his purpose being to disrupt his state of mind and complete his revenge.

However, the thought that this was the truth kept rising in my mind.

For a moment, the clash between his thoughts and instincts caused him immense pain.

Yan Shaozhe had lived a bright and noble life, only to be told in the end that he was a descendant of an evil spirit master.

In the end, it was even because of this bloodline that he was unable to make any progress.

Which deity played this wicked joke?

Doubt, despair, pain and many other negative emotions filled Yan Shaozhe's mind, and the collapse of his beliefs made him lifeless.

"Seeing you like this now, I'm relieved."

"And you won't die. At least, I'll take you to see your family. Oh, right, and your ex-girlfriend too. I promised her a long time ago."

I don't want to break my promise and get rich quick.

The words, sharp as knives, cut into Yan Shaozhe, causing the old man to react for the first time.
