Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 264 Optimization
This optimized cultivation path was something Lin Po came up with on a whim when he absorbed the Sea Princess's soul ring and became a quasi-titled Douluo.

As he said, the effect was almost a perfect combination of the ancient method system and the soul core system.

Furthermore, after being deduced by the 'Emperor', it is even more capable of allowing Soul Masters to cultivate directly at the Soul Venerable realm.

While it may lack the multiple attributes and faster recovery features of the multi-soul core system, the significant increase in the individual's upper limit can undoubtedly make up for these two minor drawbacks.

Moreover, no titled Douluo would refuse the chance to live for several hundred more years.

After he emerged from seclusion, he taught this method to many girls, including Meng Hongchen, whose cultivation levels were relatively low.

He had hoped to gain admiration and starry-eyed looks, but instead, he was met with everyone turning their backs on him.

Lin Po never expected that after obtaining the new technique, the girls, led by Meng Hongchen, would immediately choose to go into seclusion to cultivate, giving him no chance to get close to her.

They claimed that they needed to become stronger quickly so that they could stand behind him and help him as soon as possible.

Lin Po believed this explanation, but he knew perfectly well that it must have been the elder sister in the palace who had spoken up, telling them not to spoil Lin Po too much.

Otherwise, Meng Hongchen and the others wouldn't have gone into seclusion after only a few words since they hadn't seen each other for several months.

Lin Po couldn't find any reason to refuse.

They've genuinely put in so much effort to cultivate for you, there's no way you can ask for too much.

Thus, Lin Po, now all alone again, came to the Heavenly Soul Empire full of resentment and gave Poison Undying a good beating.

It was just to vent my frustrations.

Suddenly, the commotion beside him brought Lin Po back to his senses. Looking to his right, he met Vina's curious gaze.

"Brother Linpo, can Vina cultivate?"

"Of course, since you're all here, I'll tell you the key points. Yuhao, listen carefully, it will be very useful to you."

Lin Po laughed heartily after hearing this, gestured for everyone to sit closer, then glanced at Jiang Nannan and the other woman behind Vina who seemed at a loss, and said in a low voice:

"You two should listen to this too; it's just a matter of time."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan, who came from a humble background, was alright. She didn't have many ulterior motives and simply pressed forward, hoping to obtain this new law that sounded incredibly impressive.

Xu Jiujiu had a lot on her mind, her face was pale and her expression was complicated.

She could tell, of course, that the unparalleled young man was implying that he would spread this cultivation method throughout the continent.

In this way, the purpose becomes quite obvious.

It's nothing more than gaining the faith of the mainland and becoming another god ten thousand years later.

Moreover, once someone cultivates this method, they will inevitably develop a belief in the source. Given the current number of Soul Masters on the mainland, Xu Jiujiu does not believe that Lin Po will fail.

However, her instinctive curiosity, desire, and fear eventually overwhelmed her inner turmoil, prompting her to take several steps forward, almost pressing herself against Lin Po's back.

At the same time, Lin Po began his explanation.

Actually, although it's called a new method, it's really just a change in the starting method during the initial stages of cultivation.

Originally, Soul Masters cultivated their Soul Power first. Once they had enough Soul Power, they would compress it, causing it to change from a gaseous state to a liquid state, and finally condense it into a Soul Core to break through to the Title Douluo level.

When you are about to reach your limit, condense a second soul core and forcefully break through by relying on the power that resonates with the first soul core.

Lin Po's method, however, involved using a special technique in the early stages of cultivation to extract a tiny wisp of origin from the martial soul, using this as a foundation to condense a soul crystal in the dantian.

During the subsequent cultivation process, the Soul Master uses the Soul Crystal as the core to circulate Soul Power. While improving their cultivation, they can also continuously refine the Soul Crystal in the hope of achieving complete perfection in the future.

During this process, the soul power emanating from the source will also continuously transform the soul master's body, making the martial soul and soul master more compatible, and at the same time, gaining combat power far stronger than ordinary soul masters of the same level.

Furthermore, because the Soul Crystal is condensed from the origin, in the later stages it is completely equivalent to having one Martial Soul and two origins within the body.

Once the Martial Soul True Form is activated, its power will increase several times over.

As for whether one can reach the limit, that depends on the strength of the martial spirit. If the martial spirit is weak and the origin is not good, no matter what cultivation method one uses, it will be useless.

However, the possibility of spirit evolution provided by the "Spirit Ring Condensation Method" perfectly makes up for this, giving new hope to spirit masters with poor talent. Listening to the dreamlike explanation, Du Busi and his group were already stunned in their seats, and even after Lin Po stopped speaking, no one responded for a long time.

Before long, Vina's beautiful eyes widened, and she pressed herself tightly against her fiancé beside her, her meaning all too clear.

Du Busi and the others also came to their senses one after another, all staring intently at Lin Po.

"Young Lin, you're quite something! You even came up with this method! It's a pity, I already have two soul cores, so I can't repair your path anymore, otherwise I would definitely have given it a try!"

"You're getting a good deal but still acting innocent. You're already a Limit Douluo, what else could you possibly be dissatisfied with?"

Lin Po couldn't help but laugh and scold after hearing this.

"However, your problem is indeed unsolvable. The first step of extracting the martial soul's origin can only be done before one becomes a Title Douluo."

Because once a Soul Master reaches the Title Douluo level, their Martial Soul essence is essentially fixed. Extracting it at that point would only severely damage the essence, causing more harm than good.

"Alright, I was just venting anyway."

Enough of that, Lin boy, give me a serving first. I've just taken in a new batch of disciples, so I'll let them try it out!
Hmm... Aotian should give it a try too! Old Jin, get it arranged!

"Okay big brother!"

Upon hearing this, the Golden Body Douluo nodded repeatedly, agreeing with his elder brother's decision.

After all, only a fool would hoard good things and not use them!
Seeing this, Lin Po was very satisfied; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

Then, a brand-new booklet was flung out of the soul tool and flew straight toward Poison Undying.

"Don't throw it away! What if it breaks?"

Carefully using his soul power to hold up the book in mid-air, he handed it to the Golden Body Douluo before turning around and making a sarcastic remark.

Unfortunately, Lin Po, who was busy inspecting the ship for Vina and Huo Yuhao, didn't have time to pay attention to him.

Just like when he taught Meng Hongchen and the others the "Soul Ring Condensation Method", Lin Po once again sent out two golden streams of light from his fingertips, which shot into the two people's foreheads.

Then he unleashed a soul power barrier to protect them as they received the information.

After doing all this, Lin Po turned his gaze to Jiang Nannan and had his first conversation with this girl who was also a bit of a nutcase in the original story.

"Jiang Nannan, right? How are you doing in the Heavenly Soul Empire?"

Still in shock and envy, Jiang Nannan suddenly snapped out of her daze and quickly performed the salute of a female official of the Heavenly Soul Royal Family to Lin Po.

"Thanks to the Prince Consort, my mother's illness has been cured, and Her Highness the Princess is very kind to me."

"Hmm, you've already become a Soul King? It seems Vina has given you quite a few good things. In that case, follow her closely, and you'll have everything you can't even imagine now in the future."

If you have the chance, you might even meet a few old acquaintances.

"Yes, Your Highness."

After saying that, a stream of light, slightly dimmer than before, flew into her brow, missing the part about condensing the technique.

Finally, Lin Po looked at Xu Jiujiu, who had a complicated expression, and his tone became very light.

"Princess Jiu Jiu, it's been a long time! You're still as beautiful as ever."

"You flatter me, Your Excellency Lin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Po raised an eyebrow, clearly very interested in Xu Jiujiu's current attitude.

"It seems that Little Vina has done a lot while I was away. Sure enough, when it comes to being worry-free, only Sister Lexuan can compare to this girl."

"Speaking of which, Princess Jiu Jiu doesn't want to say anything? You should have known this opportunity was so rare!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu was immediately caught in a dilemma.
