Douluo Continent: Starting with the Fire-Breathing Dragon Martial Soul!

Chapter 274 Ninety-Five Victories, Hu Liena's Arrival (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

One year later, in the Killing City, in Lin Mo's room.

The interior of the stone house remained simple. Lin Mo sat cross-legged on the stone bed, surrounded by a faint aura of blood.

He had just finished a round of training.

Lin Mo felt the abundant energy and blood within his body and slowly opened his eyes.

Although the quality improvement of Crimson Heart has slowed down, it is still progressing steadily.

At the current pace, he should have at most six months to collect enough blood and qi to push the Crimson Heart to the 100,000-year level and condense the blood and qi soul core.

At that time, his strength will experience a qualitative leap.

Whether it's a soul core that perfectly matches one's own abilities or a soul bone that will be upgraded to a quality of 100,000 years, the improvement it brings to a soul master is undeniable.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

Two full years have passed since he arrived in the City of Slaughter.

In the past two years, he has achieved 95 victories in the Hellfire Arena, just five wins away from 100.

Compared to his high frequency of competitions in his first year, he noticeably slowed down his pace in his second year.

This is not an isolated case in Killing City; the closer one gets to 100 wins, the longer the interval between matches tends to be.

On the one hand, the difficulty of matching has increased, and fewer and fewer people dare to compete with him, which has led to the increasingly longer intervals between Lin Mo's recent matches.

On the other hand, it's because he needs more time to gather the power of qi and blood.

Every time someone dies in the hellish killing field, their blood seeps into the ground, becoming part of a blood-red river.

Lin Mo, however, could use the unique properties of his own martial soul and the Crimson Blood Heart to quietly intercept a small portion.

Little by little, it adds up.

He plans to complete the final five victories within six months.

By then, the accumulation of vital energy and blood should be sufficient, and one can begin preparations for the journey to hell.

The prerequisite is that the King of Slaughter allows him to participate.

Just as I was pondering this, I heard light footsteps outside the stone house.

The footsteps stopped at the door, hesitated for a moment, and then knocked.

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, understanding dawning on him.

Not many people come to see him at this time, and even fewer dare to come here to see him.

He got up, walked to the door, and opened the stone door.

A woman dressed in black stood outside the door, her beautiful eyes filled with tension, and even a hint of shyness.

It really was Hu Liena.

Looking at Hu Liena standing nervously in front of him, Lin Mo immediately felt reassured.

This girl is surprisingly patient; it took her another year to come looking for me.

This visit is most likely to reach a cooperation agreement with him. If it weren't for something that required her to come down personally, Hu Liena would probably not dare to come to his territory under normal circumstances.

Few dare to easily enter the Blood Asura's territory.

"What's wrong?" Lin Mo asked calmly.

Hu Liena took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and looked directly into Lin Mo's eyes: "Can I come inside to talk?"

Lin Mo stepped aside to make way.

-

Hu Liena entered the stone house and looked around.

The room was very clean, with almost no extra items besides the necessary furniture, giving it a cold and quiet feel.

This further convinced her of her judgment: Blood Asura was definitely not a fallen one.

Lin Mo closed the door, walked to the stone table, sat down, and pointed to the stone bench opposite him: "Sit."

Hu Liena sat down as instructed, her hands unconsciously clenching the hem of her clothes.

She looked at Lin Mo, and after a moment of silence, she finally spoke: "I came to see you to discuss cooperation."

Lin Mo didn't reply, but just looked at her quietly.

Hu Liena bit her lip and continued, "It's not about the cooperation on the Hell Killing Fields, but about the Hell Road we have to walk after achieving a hundred victories in the Killing Fields."

"Don't rush to reject me."

"If I'm not mistaken, neither you nor I are fallen ones, but merely here for trials."

The ultimate goal is to clear the Hell Road, leave the City of Slaughter, and obtain the God of Slaughter Domain!

Without hesitation, Hu Liena went straight to the point and told them what she knew.

She knew very well that if she wanted to cooperate with Blood Asura, she, being in a weaker position, had to first show sincerity.

Her bargaining chip was naturally the information about the City of Slaughter that she had obtained from Bibi Dong, the former God of Slaughter, especially the situation regarding the Road to Hell.

Hu Liena hoped to use this information as leverage to negotiate with Xue Xiuluo in order to reach a consensus and walk the road to hell together.

Based on her experience in the Hell Slaughter Arena during this period, she was certain that it would be almost impossible for her to clear the Hell Road on her own.

Moreover, as the killings increased, she could sense that the murderous aura within her body was visibly beginning to stir and become uncontrollable.

She could only suppress the raging murderous intent within her by constantly using Bloody Mary, but she knew that doing so was merely a temporary fix.

If she hadn't successfully obtained the head soul bone given to her by her teacher, which greatly enhanced her mental strength and self-control, she probably would have lost control long ago due to the surge of murderous intent.

After listening, Lin Mo remained silent for a moment.

"The Road to Hell? The Domain of the God of Slaughter?" He feigned ignorance and asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, a look of joy flashed across Hu Liena's face.

Blood Asura was indeed unaware of these secrets, which meant her information was valuable and there was a possibility of reaching a cooperation agreement.

She gathered her thoughts and recounted what she knew about the Hell Road: "The entrance to the Hell Road is in the Hell Slaughter Field."

The blood and soul of everyone who dies there are devoured by the Road to Hell.

"All I know is that if you don't have a strong killing intent to protect you when you enter there, you will be immediately swallowed up by the fierce aura of the Hell Road."

There are many theories about the formation of the Slaughter City, but the most reliable one is that it is a special domain left behind by a great powerhouse who broke through the level 100 limit.

And this domain is called the Domain of the God of Slaughter.

"If one can pass through the Hell Road, it's equivalent to gaining the approval of the God of Slaughter Domain. The God of Slaughter Domain will absorb his own killing intent, forming its own domain and ultimately becoming part of his Martial Soul."

Also known as the innate domain of a martial soul.

After saying that, Hu Liena looked at Lin Mo with anticipation.

Lin Mo pondered for a moment and said, "You came to find me because of the Hell Road, and that's why you want to cooperate with me?"

"Yes."

Hu Liena nodded vigorously, "I'm not very confident in clearing Hell Road on my own, but if we join forces, our chances will be much greater."

"Furthermore, I know some specific details about the Hell Road, including its dangers and the key to success. This information should be sufficient as leverage for cooperation."

Lin Mo did not respond immediately.

He raised his head, a flash of bloodlust in his eyes, and slowly shook his head.

"If that's all there is to it, then I find it hard to feel comfortable cooperating with you."
