Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 304 The Truth About Martial Souls

Despite being suppressed from multiple sides, Hyotei, despite being a weakling with a strong addiction, ultimately could not escape Lin Po's punishment.

They didn't even manage to mount any effective defense, yet they paid a heavy price for their deliberate provocation.

Of course, the so-called punishment was not repeating the same mistake; it was just being controlled by Lin Po and having his feet tickled for half an hour.

Otherwise, Hyotei, being the smallest and least able to withstand stress, would have no strength left to continue sitting here.

A moment later, looking at the two women sitting upright and at Hyotei lying on the bed with a flushed face and a silly grin, Lin Po seemed very satisfied.

"Let's see if you dare to do such dangerous things again."

As soon as the words were spoken, Xue Di and Gu Yue Na shook their heads repeatedly, indicating that they probably wouldn't have any wicked thoughts for a long time.

"Bing'er, what about you?"

"Hehehe."

Lin Po: “.”

I don't think I hit you that hard just now, so why are you acting like this?

Bing'er should have stayed in the Spirit Realm and hadn't had any contact with Sister Ruoruo. Could she possibly have been infected from a distance?

As if suddenly remembering something, Lin Po slapped his forehead, secretly regretting giving Hyotei the permission to read world information.

"Xue'er, Bing'er must have seen a lot of things from the human world in private, which has damaged her brain."

"Keep a close eye on her lately, don't let her become another Ruoruo! One is enough for the family!"

“Great! I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, but I’ve been too busy lately and haven’t had the time!” Xue Di, who had the same idea, immediately nodded in agreement.

Listening to her lover's conversation with her sister, Gu Yuena suddenly felt a very bad premonition.

Since Lin Po went into seclusion, she has been busy in the Spirit Realm and has not returned to Douluo Continent.

So, that girl Lingxi has been running wild outside for a whole year without my supervision. Could she have been led astray by that scumbag Ruoruo?

Just as the dragon girl was filled with apprehension, the Snow Empress sat down next to Lin Po and softly inquired about the results of her cultivation this time.

"Brother Lin, how have you fared during this year-long seclusion?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Po remained silent for a moment before slowly explaining his own changes.

"It's just that it's immeasurable. If I had to give an evaluation, my current strength should be no worse than that of a proper third-level god."

Upon hearing this, the three women immediately perked up, no longer worrying about the outside world, and savoring the lingering aftertaste.

They all stood up and sat around Lin Po, waiting for him to tell his story.

"You have already experienced the transformation of your bodies; you have truly become divine beings, without a doubt."

"Because of the profound accumulation in the past, spiritual power and soul directly skipped the stage of tangible and material, and directly became divine consciousness and divine soul, consistent with the level of the body."

"My cultivation level is still the lowest. The increase in soul power brought by the Evil Emperor Soul Ring and the two Divine Rings only pushed me to level 99, which is still a step away from level 100."

"Furthermore, the analysis of spirit rings and spirit bones goes without saying. Gravity, lower-level power, thunder laws, and many spirit skills and spirit bone skills have all been integrated."

The continuous stream of good news made Xue Di's three daughters beam with joy, but new questions also arose at the same time.

"Since your strength has reached the level of being comparable to a god, why were you silent for so long just now?"

"Could it be that the problem of too many laws of tolerance hasn't been resolved yet?"

The outspoken Hyotei immediately asked.

Lin Po, realizing that their unusual reaction had caused them some worry, stopped keeping them in suspense and continued:

"No, that minor problem was resolved long ago when I absorbed Da Ming's spirit ring and broke through to the Title Douluo level."

"I was silent just now because I might not be considered a true Soul Master anymore."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress's expressions changed drastically, and they instinctively exclaimed in surprise.

Even Gu Yuena frowned and took Lin Po's hand, trying to check on his condition.

Unfortunately, even with the blessing of spiritual realm authority, she couldn't detect anything wrong because her injuries hadn't healed and she could only use the power of a first-level god.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that no one in the world is healthier than Lin Po. The more the dragon girl explored, the more excited she became, her heart pounding, and her little hand unconsciously reached towards the indescribable place.

"Wait a minute, let me finish. It's a good thing!"

Seeing that Gu Yuena's hands were becoming increasingly unruly, Lin Po helplessly used his authority to control the silver dragon and hurriedly explained.

"When I say 'not a traditional Soul Master,' I don't mean that I've become a cripple."

"Instead, the three most basic elements of a Soul Master—the Martial Soul, Soul Rings, and Soul Skills—have been completely integrated with me, and I no longer need to actively release the Martial Soul to use them."

"Simply put, it's like turning a passive situation into an active one."

However, because Lin Po's answer was somewhat convoluted, the three women did not fully understand its meaning.

It was simply because they hadn't seen Lin Po release his martial soul and soul rings in a long time.

Aside from needing to use his pupil technique, he basically relied on using his strength to fly over the bricks and brute force his way through.

Even if he survived the poison attack a year ago, this Douluo's strongest limit was still the result of his own physical strength and the various elements he used to create amazing effects.

Is there any difference between now and before?

Noticing the confusion in the girls' eyes, Lin Po couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

It seems that the previous concealment not only fooled outsiders but also kept it from their own people.

Verbal retelling and firsthand witnessing can never quite capture the feeling of reality.

In fact, the matter of fusing one's martial soul with oneself was also outside of Lin Po's plan.

Even as early as the ninth month of his seclusion, he had already achieved the most basic goal and possessed strength comparable to that of a priest.

However, the unusual movements of the Sharingan and the Holy Flame forced him to continue his seclusion and observe the situation.

During this time, Lin Po also figured out the reason for the changes in the two.

After all, the timing of the anomaly and the completion of the 'Holy Flame' enhancement were almost simultaneous; even a fool could guess the connection between them.

After much thought, it's simply that after the 'Holy Flame' was strengthened, its martial soul level reached a level comparable to or nearly equal to the 'Sharingan,' which caused the two to change simultaneously.

And the final result was exactly as Lin Po said: the two martial souls completely disappeared and truly became a part of him.

Even if his eyeballs were accidentally gouged out like in the Legend of the Eye, he wouldn't lose any of his pupil abilities.

On the other hand, the gouged-out eyeballs became two useless things, capable of regenerating new ones at any time.

Without a doubt, the source that leads to this situation must be the initial and final gift of world consciousness.

It is likely that He had already personally attached many conditions to these Sharingan when they were first created.

The changes in the magatama and the circle of eyes, the eye techniques that can be actively chosen, 'Emperor', 'Privilege', and finally the power 'Inheritance'.

He obtained it because he met the corresponding conditions step by step.

It's likely that these so-called 'Sharingan' aren't actually 'Sharingan'.

It was only because Lin Po only understood this one type of eye that he was able to manifest it.

If he knew best about the 'Golden Eyes' or the 'Six Eyes', then he should have obtained the corresponding eye-shaped martial soul at that time.

Now, Lin Po has finally set foot in the Divine Realm and has the initial qualifications to merge with the origin of the world.

Only when these martial souls, created from the origin of the world, resonate with the flames strengthened by the origin of the world, can they completely merge.

Thinking of this, Lin Po couldn't help but look down at his chest, where he could clearly see the blazing crimson-gold flame burning within him.

"Sigh, is it reasonable to send an ordinary college student who fails courses every day to develop civilization in another world?"

"The martial spirit and abilities they gave us are quite suitable."

"It's only been a little over a decade, and I've long forgotten what I learned back then. I don't expect you to give me some sudden enlightenment, but at least give me some normal books."

"Huh? The system? It can't be trying to make me force it back from my memories, can it?!"

After figuring out the reason, the boy smacked his forehead, truly astonished by the series of gifts from his elders.
