Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 308 A Poison Called Faith

Seeing that the refining process was on track, Lin Po casually waved his hand and sent out a soul power barrier before paying no further attention.

Absorbing immortal herbs is nothing; if anything could go wrong, only an utterly incompetent fool could do such a thing.

"Xiaomeng, Xiaoxiao, Lingxi, come here. I need to discuss something with you."

After saying that, Lin Po waved to Meng Hongchen and the others to sit down next to him. Then, he changed his relaxed demeanor and his expression became slightly serious.

The change in atmosphere immediately made the blonde girl abandon her desire to play with him a little longer.

Then, very obediently, she ran over and sat quietly next to Meng Hongchen without saying a word.

Seeing the three girls' tense faces, as if they had been given a mission in a time of crisis, Lin Po felt both amused and exasperated, and quickly comforted them with laughter.

"Don't be so nervous, and there's no need to be too serious. This time, I just want to discuss with you your future cultivation directions since your cultivation levels have reached the required level."

Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen and the others immediately relaxed. As long as nothing serious had happened, everything else was negotiable.

However, new problems arose one after another.

"Brother Lin Po, what do you mean by the cultivation plan you mentioned? Didn't you say that I just need to keep cultivating according to the Soul Crystal Method?"

Meng Hongchen's timely question resonated with many, causing Xiao Xiao and Di Lingxi to nod in agreement.

Clearly, they didn't quite understand what Lin Po meant either.

“Cultivation methods are tools to help you move forward, but the direction of cultivation determines what kind of path you need to take.”

"Just like your eldest sister, from the moment she ascended the throne, she was determined to use the moon as a medium to rule over all places where moonlight can shine, and bring peace and prosperity to all people."

"Sister Ruoruo is similar, but her dream is to stay by Sister Lexuan's side forever and clear away any obstacles for her."

At this point, Lin Po paused, taking a sip of water to moisten his throat under the anxious gaze.

What he said next immediately shocked the three women, leaving them pale with shock.

"As long as Sister Lexuan takes the final step, that is, to become a god at level 100, the unprecedented achievement of unifying the continent and changing the laws will be enough to make her rise to the top in one step."

"The total amount of fortune it has acquired could even be enough to directly condense a god position comparable to a first-level god. When it steps into another world in the future, it is not impossible for it to reach a position above the God King."

"And Sister Ruoruo will also benefit from this, instantly becoming a subordinate deity under Sister Lexuan's divine position, accompanying her for endless years, until eternity."

"Now, have you figured it out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Hongchen and the other two, who were stunned, nodded subconsciously, their movements extremely stiff.

They're not stupid; you've explained it so clearly and simply, how could they not understand?

However, understanding something is one thing, but being able to comprehend it is another.

I thought my tireless training day and night was already quite intense, but I didn't expect the older sisters to be even more intense!
The younger sisters aren't even titled Douluo yet, but their older sister is already close to taking the final step. The difference is just too big!

That's becoming a god through one's own power! How many people throughout history have been able to do that!

Even those seven people from ten thousand years ago only had the opportunity to ascend to the divine realm thanks to the blessings of their predecessors.

Just as the three women were in a state of confusion, Lin Po's next words forced them to calm down and think about their own strengths and advantages.

"By the way, Vina is similar to you all. She set her cultivation direction during her Soul Saint period, and she wanted to combine her twin martial souls into one and create a new method."

"Moreover, the sooner this is done, the better. It will be beneficial and harmless to your future cultivation. You three should be the last of all the sisters to think about this."

As the sound dissipated, the Emperor's Mansion fell silent, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind bringing a unique tranquility to the courtyard.

After an unknown amount of time, Meng Hongchen, whose methods were the simplest, was the first to realize the truth. She suddenly looked up at Lin Po, her beautiful eyes shining even brighter.

"Shh, let's talk later. Xiao Xiao and Ling Xi aren't ready yet," Lin Po said softly, gesturing for silence.

Seeing this, Meng Hongchen quickly stopped the shout that was about to come out, and her movements became more careful, for fear of disturbing the other sisters.

On the other side, Ling Luochen and Ning Tian stood respectfully on either side of Lin Po after absorbing the immortal herbs, their eyes filled with undisguised envy.

As a Soul Master, how can it be the same no matter who you cultivate with?
Back in Shrek Academy, let alone proper cultivation resources, you even had to stand and eat in the cafeteria.

Unlike now, when every meal is a feast for the eyes, resources are plentiful and diverse, and benefits are endless. Even so, the life that the two girls could never have imagined before still cannot compare to the pampering the person in front of them shows to the young girls.

A complete set of 100,000-year-old soul bones, and celestial herbs that can be taken multiple times without causing side effects—it's dazzling to behold.

This is because they are composed and self-aware; otherwise, other women would probably have already climbed into Lin Po's bed and turned to ashes.

Before long, Xiao Xiao and Di Lingxi came to their senses, their eyes revealing an intense excitement.

Seeing this, Lin Po smiled broadly, finally feeling relieved.

"Looks like you've had a good haul. Tell us your thoughts, one by one."

"I don't have much to say. The only advantage I have is the poison of my martial soul, so I will definitely specialize in poison in the future."

Meng Hongchen's decision was exactly what Lin Po had expected.

As the girl with the most 'mediocre' talent among all the girls, she wanted to go further, and 'poison' was the only path she could choose, and also the best path.

"Since you've made up your mind, you must stick to it. If you want to learn poison, I'll give you a gift later; it should be very useful to you."

After saying that, Lin Po looked at Xiao Xiao, wanting to see what this little tiger girl was thinking.

"Brother Linpo, Xiao Xiao may need your and her older sister's help on her path."

"You've figured it out?" Lin Po asked, somewhat surprised.

"Hmm! The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron needs to suppress a large amount of luck. The more luck there is, the higher the quality of my martial soul will be, and the stronger I will become!"

"The reason why my martial soul couldn't evolve for so long was also because I didn't suppress my luck! As for the Phoenix Comes to Court Xiao, I might as well melt it down after absorbing all nine soul rings and use it as advancement material for the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron!"

The young girl said this, her expression resolute as if she were willing to sacrifice her life for righteousness.

Lin Po: “.”

The word "tiger" is indeed the right way to describe this girl; she fused her martial soul without hesitation.

But it's all good. What can a mere flute-like martial spirit compare to a future artifact of destiny?

"Okay, you can talk to Sister Lexuan yourself later. As the emperor of the empire, you need her permission."

"Okay, I understand, Brother Linpo~"

While dragging out her sweet, drawn-out voice, Xiao Xiao stared with her big, bright eyes, as if expecting something.

"I'll give you the gift in a bit."

"Yay, Brother Lin Po is the best!"

"Oh, you. Lingxi, it's your turn."

Lin Po sighed with a mixture of indulgence and helplessness, then turned to look at Di Lingxi, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Hey, it's my turn! My idea is similar to Xiao Xiao's, the difference is that I want to rely on the luck and faith of the soul beast race to condense a divine position."

However, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a light flick on the forehead.

"You can rely on the luck of soul beasts, but as for faith, forget it."

“Didn’t Na’er tell you that no matter what race you are, anything related to luck is poisonous! The painful example of the Sea God is still there for all to see.”

Di Lingxi was stunned upon hearing this; clearly, she truly didn't know about it.

"Sister Na'er never mentioned it; otherwise, only a fool would choose to use faith to solidify a divine position."

(First Sea God: I'm sorry if this offends you. Thank you.)
The blonde girl looked pitiful, and Lin Po, realizing he had wronged her, quickly pulled her to his side and comforted her with coaxing and kisses.

That's why you say spirit beasts are simple-minded. If it were other girls who would cry, make a scene, and even threaten suicide to misunderstand, the auspicious beast could appease them in just one minute. It's very easy.

"Then what can we do? Faith is poisonous and cannot be used, but with the current amount of luck and strength of the soul beast, it is simply impossible to condense a better divine position."

Thus, the problem returned to square one.
