Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 203 Arrogant
Lin Po suddenly became curious about what kind of image he had in Wu San's mind.
As a native of Douluo Continent, he actually had the audacity to think of Lin Po's goal in the most unlikely direction.

Even for a cultist, this kind of thought process is a bit too outrageous.

That's fine, it saves him from having to waste his breath explaining later.

"Since you already have these things in mind, I won't explain any further. You can do as you see fit. You may leave."

"Yes!"

Afterwards, watching Wu San's retreating figure, Lin Po fell into a long silence.

To be honest, if he didn't have absolute confidence in Electrolux's methods and his keen perception, he really wouldn't dare to use someone like Wu San.

There's no other reason than that it's impossible to grasp.

Lin Po had never been able to figure out how Wu San was thinking.

Why can I always tell what Lin Po wants most based on his words and actions?
Suddenly, Lin Po felt that he might be worrying unnecessarily, and quickly shook off his distracting thoughts.

"Forget it, why think so much? As long as it works, that's fine."

"Old Zhang."

What are the Lord's instructions?

Following the direction from which the sound came, a black figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the room and bowed to Lin Po.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Peng was now exuding the terrifying aura of a level 97 Super Douluo.

"Huh? Level 97? Elder Zhang, you've broken through?"

"Thanks to the Lord's blessings, when I was helping Brother Wu hunt for his eighth soul ring, I encountered a dark demon tiger that was over 80,000 years old. After hunting it down, I was fortunate enough to obtain a piece of its torso bone."

“At that time, Brother Wu already had a torso soul bone, so after absorbing the soul ring, he gave me that 80,000-year-old torso bone.”

"It was because the attributes and the breed were so well matched that I had the opportunity to break through to level 97."

At this point, Zhang Peng suddenly felt a little apprehensive, after all, he had essentially taken advantage of Lin Po.

Normally, that 80,000-year-old soul bone should have been handed over to the Lord for distribution.

Just as Zhang Peng was racking his brains, thinking about how to plead for himself and Wu San, his reaction naturally caught Lin Po's eye.

Left with no other choice, Lin Po could only suppress his laughter and say in a low voice:

"Alright, Elder Zhang, I didn't mean to blame either of you. It's just a soul bone; it's not that valuable to me."

Moreover, even without this torso bone, I would still give you another soul bone.

"Thank you very much, my lord!"

After receiving Lin Po's forgiveness, Zhang Peng breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

Even though the young man in front of him was only a Soul Saint, he vaguely felt that he was even more awe-inspiring than when he faced Zhongli Wu.

However, before he could be happy for long, the nightmarish voice rang out again.

"Since Elder Zhang is already level 97, then you can continue to cooperate with Wu San. I think you heard about those missions just now."

Zhang Peng: "I heard you."

Do you think I didn't hear that? Besides, those three tasks were all incredibly difficult; isn't this just bullying honest people?!
"Don't worry, Wu San is quite smart. He's probably already started making arrangements. You just need to follow his instructions."

These seemingly comforting words brought Zhang Peng no warmth whatsoever.

He never imagined that even though he was already a level 97 graduate, he would still be sent abroad to work for an extended period of time.

She clearly wanted to stay by Lin Po's side more.

Lin Po was naturally adept at using the tactic of giving a stick followed by a sweet treat. Seeing that the time was right, he also made a promise to Zhang Peng.

"Once the mission is completed, Elder Zhang's reward will be the same as Wu San's."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Peng shouted, "I swear to complete this mission, even at the cost of my life!"

Then, with a big smile on his face, Lin Po ran off to find Wu San to discuss the mission.

"Level 97. That's a pleasant surprise. Now we don't need to send those time bombs from the beach anymore."

"Let's go to the Star Dou Great Forest one more time, and then go home."

As the murmurs faded, Lin Po's figure also completely disappeared from the room.

The next morning, Wu San, who had spent the night discussing the details with Zhang Peng, enthusiastically arranged for his servants to invite the group of Shrek elders.

The Lord has already mercifully allowed them to enjoy a full day of high-class service; now, it's time to arrange suitable work for them.

Once everyone had gathered, Wu San looked at the radiant old men in front of him and his lips twitched involuntarily.

Are these old fogies definitely from the Shrek family, or did they just escape from a bandit's den?

Nothing they wore, anything on their heads, or anything they ate was cheap.

Especially Lin Huiqun, an old woman of her age, why is she still wearing jewelry and headdresses?! Doesn't she find it disgusting?

And Xuanzi, could you please put down that chicken leg you're holding?
If I'm not mistaken, those should be the legs of a seven-colored pheasant, right?! He himself hadn't found many of those seven-colored pheasants; he had kept them all to offer as tribute to his lord!

So you, you old geezer, just ruined it like that?!

Suppressing his anger, Wu San greeted him with a forced smile:

"Have you all had a good rest, seniors?"

"Not bad, not bad, we old guys have troubled you, Xiao Wu."

Wu San's concern pleased most of the elders, and Xuanzi even casually waved his hand in response while holding up a chicken leg with only bones left.

Of all the people present, only Song Yunzhi remained relatively calm. After taking a sip of strong tea, she brought the topic to the forefront.

"Mr. Wu, now that we're all on the same side, there's no need to hide anything from each other, don't you think?"

As she spoke, Song Yunzhi's soul power, reaching level 97, slowly spread throughout the entire reception room, putting considerable pressure on Wu San and almost causing him to kneel on the ground and lose face.

The other elders, however, continued chatting and drinking tea as if they hadn't noticed anything.

Just as the Lord predicted, these old fogies came with no good intentions whatsoever.

Borrowing a hen to lay eggs? I'd like to see how you do it!

While inwardly sneering, Wu San forced himself to stand ramrod straight and said neither servilely nor arrogantly:

"Since you've said so, senior, then I won't keep it to myself any longer."

After saying that, Wu San waved his hand, and a light screen instantly appeared in the soul tool in the center of the reception room, displaying a complete map of Douluo Continent.

However, it was slightly different from a normal map. The map that Wu San projected was covered with hundreds of red dots of varying sizes.

The sudden turn of events left everyone bewildered, and even the soul power suppressing Wu San's body began to stagnate.

Taking advantage of the sudden reduction in pressure, Wu San quickly tidied his slightly disheveled clothes before beginning his explanation.

"Since your esteemed academy declined, numerous evil spirit masters have emerged across the continent, wreaking havoc. The red dots on this map represent the outposts of these evil spirit masters that the Spirit Soul Merchant Guild has been secretly investigating. Among them…"

Before he could finish explaining the basic situation, he was interrupted on the spot by Xuanzi's slightly irritable voice.

"Impossible! You little brat, don't talk nonsense!"

"Our Shrek Surveillance Team hunts down evil spirit masters day after day. How could there still be so many evil spirit masters left!"

The other elders agreed with Xuanzi's point of view and looked at Wu San with a hint of dissatisfaction, completely forgetting that they had just received a favor from him not long ago.

Unfortunately, Xuanzi's rebuttal did not receive the response he desired.

"Your esteemed institution's 'selfless dedication' has indeed been remembered by everyone. However, this does not mean that evil spirit masters have completely disappeared."

"At least, the records of evil spirit masters that appear on this map are recognized by all forces on the continent."

As soon as he finished speaking, the reception room fell into a deathly silence.

What is this young man talking about?! They've already been recognized?! And they're even on the map?! Are there any other places not on this map?!

"Mr. Wu, do you know what you're saying?"

Song Yunzhi said softly while rubbing her throbbing temples.

At the same time, the old woman's aura grew stronger, as if she wanted to force Wu San to overturn his shocking statement.

"Of course I know! If you seniors still don't believe me, you can go and see for yourselves elsewhere. It's common knowledge that evil spirit masters are rampant across the continent."

"Hmph! Then this old woman will go out and see if it's really as you say!"

The next moment, Song Yunzhi's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a trace of cyan soul power.
