Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 68 Four Years (Part 4)

When he saw Ma Xiaotao again, perhaps because both of them had grown up, Lin Yi was no longer as talkative as before, and Ma Xiaotao was no longer as casual as before.

Especially when looking at Ma Xiaotao, who has changed a lot since she grew up, and whose pretty face still looks a little childish but reveals a charming charm inadvertently, and recalling the smile on her face when they first met, Lin Yi really didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ma Xiaotao's thoughts were somewhat similar to Lin Yi's. Looking at Lin Yi, who now had a tall figure and handsome face, and the golden lines between his eyebrows made him look even more handsome, plus the erudition and wisdom shown by Lin Yi in the previous soul hunting operation, as well as Lin Yi's crazy challenges in the inner courtyard during this period, Ma Xiaotao, who had already entered the inner courtyard, also saw it.

Faced with such a handsome young man with top talent, intelligence and strength, Ma Xiaotao's mind also underwent some subtle changes.

It seems that it is difficult to call the former "little uncle" and "niece" now.

For a moment, the two of them didn't know what to say and could only look at each other in silence. The atmosphere was a little heavy.

Fortunately, Zhang Lexuan's arrival finally gave the two an excuse to speak.

After greeting each other, Zhang Lexuan asked the two to check whether everything they had prepared was complete.

Ma Xiaotao behaved like the most orthodox inner court disciple, wearing all the standard equipment of an inspector, including a ring, clothes, inner armor, mask, cloak, and three distress signal flares. She basically disdained the soul guide device.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, is the complete opposite.

The equipment of the Supervisory Corps was naturally worn on his body. Although he felt that it was not very useful, Lin Yi would not pretend to be special.

In addition, there are various defensive soul guides from top to bottom, the highest level of which is as high as level seven, and there are more than five level five invincible shields.

It wasn't over yet. The storage ring lit up, and various soul-guided rays and soul-guided cannons were neatly arranged. Zhang Lexuan actually saw several fixed-type soul-guided shells emitting terrifying power among them.

After asking, they learned that Lin Yi brought a total of thirty level four fixed-type soul guide shells and seven level six fixed-type soul guide shells. As for the ones that Zhang Lexuan felt were dangerous, they were three level seven fixed-type soul guide shells and one level eight fixed-type soul guide shell.

After a period of time, Lin Qingxuan, who broke through the Soul Douluo, officially became one of the only three eighth-level soul masters in Shrek. Those high-level fixed-type soul guide shells were his works.

There was also the golden staff, thunder ring and gold brick that Lin Yi had refined himself, which he naturally brought with him, as well as a few small Horcrux gadgets that he had refined himself.

Zhang Lexuan was a little confused. Was Lin Yi really going on a mission? Did Shrek suddenly decide to stand up for a certain country?
It's no wonder that Zhang Lexuan had such a special idea. It's no exaggeration to say that what Lin Yi brought is enough to start a medium-sized war, and the overall cost is at least tens of millions of gold soul coins.

Zhang Lexuan certainly knew that Lin Yi's family was well-off, but did he need to prepare all these to carry out the mission?

Ma Xiaotao was also a little confused. She had always been dismissive of combat soul guides.

However, because the inner courtyard now requires students to learn and use soul guides, the outer courtyard is also vigorously promoting soul guides. Ma Xiaotao has also taken these courses, so she can understand the value of these soul guides.

No matter how much she disliked it, when the value of these soul guides exceeded the ordinary range, she would not dwell on why she had to rely on the power of soul guides. Only the power that the soul master absolutely controlled was her own idea. Instead, she would wonder why she had to prepare all these?

Lin Yi's answer was very sincere:
Save your life, and when you must die, die together.

Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao were silent, not knowing how to comment.

On the one hand, he is afraid of death, but on the other hand, he is brave and fearless, and even a bit cruel.

Zhang Lexuan, who was a little confused, inexplicably felt that what Lin Yi had prepared were the real things that should be prepared for the mission, not the supervisory rings, masks, and inner armor prepared by the academy.

I silently took note of it and reported it back.

The three began to carry out the mission.

Perhaps in order to train Lin Yi and let him adapt first, Moon initially chose tasks such as judging officials, hunting down fugitives, and killing soul beasts that invaded the village.

It is not dangerous, but relatively cumbersome. Compared with the time spent on carrying out the mission, the time spent on traveling is the biggest expense.

During this process, Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao almost became Lin Yi's regular teammates, and the relationship between the three became increasingly close.

Lin Yi and Ma Xiaotao are like a pair of bickering lovers. They start quarreling after a few disagreements. One says, "I am older than you," and the other says, "I am older than you." Neither of them will give in. Zhang Lexuan is always like a gentle sister, mediating between the naughty younger brothers and sisters.

Perhaps thinking that Lin Yi was ready and had adapted to the tasks in the inner courtyard, Moon began to assign Lin Yi the task of hunting down evil soul masters.

During this process, Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao began to see a side of Lin Yi that was completely different from his usual self.

Lin Yi is usually lazy and casual, with a sly smile flashing across his face from time to time. He is just a naughty boy.

When facing the evil soul master, Lin Yi seemed like a completely different person.

Cold-blooded to the point of being cold-blooded, decisive in killing, and even cruel and ruthless.

When facing an evil soul master, Lin Yi would not hesitate at all and would kill him directly. He would not feel any physical or psychological discomfort afterwards, as if he had not killed a person but an insect.

During a hunt for a group of evil spirit masters, Zhang Lexuan witnessed Lin Yi torturing several captured evil spirit masters in order to find out their whereabouts! It was a torture he'd learned from nowhere!
Because of his lack of skills, Lin Yi got himself covered in blood, even on his face.

Lin Yi like that is more like an evil soul master than that evil soul master.

But at that time, there was no trace of unbearable or unbearable look in Lin Yi's eyes, only endless indifference, as if the screams resounding through the sky did not exist.

In the end, Lin Yi got clues about the other evil soul masters from him, chased them and killed them all.

Zhang Lexuan once asked Lin Yi why he could end the lives of so many people without any fuss.

Lin Yi's answer was: "Evil soul masters, are they still human? They have done so many evil things, they are no different from animals. What's wrong with killing a few animals?"

Killing the bad guys is to protect more good people, killing is to protect life, how can you not feel uncomfortable when doing such a good deed?
Zhang Lexuan could only smile bitterly at this, not knowing whether to say that Lin Yi was kind or cold-blooded.

As for the use of torture, Lin Yi explained: "I once read a saying, 'You can't go too far in correcting a wrong, and in an emergency, you can't avoid exercising your discretion!' Regarding evil spirit masters, there's only one sentence: zero tolerance! On sight, kill them! It's better to see evil spirit masters crying than to see ordinary people crying."

In the past, in front of Master, I said that my light is justice and hope. Now, I believe that everything I do is just. If doing so is considered a sin, then all the sins will be blamed on me!
Looking at Lin Yi, whose face was stern but whose body seemed to be shrouded in holy light, Zhang Lexuan felt as if she was meeting this little brother for the first time. In the end, Zhang Lexuan simply took out a kettle and gently cleaned the blood off Lin Yi's body. She then completed the mission with Lin Yi and Ma Xiaotao and returned to the academy.

In the final report to Moon, he wrote the eight-character evaluation of "hate evil and maintain integrity", which was considered to be the final conclusion of what happened during the mission.

The matter of the evil soul master did not cause any fluctuations in Lin Yi's emotions. Just as he said, it was just killing a few beasts. He said it and did it.

But what Zhang Lexuan had not noticed was that Lin Yi brought back all the corpses of those evil soul masters. Because Lin Yi acted decisively and fiercely, and the strength of those evil soul masters was completely not on the same level as his, these corpses were preserved quite well.

Lin Yi left these corpses not for any evil purpose, and he is not an evil soul master.

Just to allow these evil soul masters to accumulate some good karma and suffer less in the underworld, Lin Yi decided to let these evil soul masters act as cadaver teachers.

After breaking through to the fourth-ring soul sect, Lin Yi's cultivation speed has become as slow as a turtle due to his extreme attributes, although Moon said that compared with the previous extreme attribute predecessors, Lin Yi's cultivation speed can be considered fast.

Not to mention, obtaining spirit rings that far exceeded the spirit ring limit time and time again has saved Lin Yi a lot of time.

However, Lin Yi still felt that it was not enough.

His goal is to be the strongest, and his enemy is God, even a God who has been planning for thousands of years. No one knows how many tricks that God has laid out, how many backup plans he has left, when he will start to close the net, or whether he will take action personally.

In particular, one day, the ancient golden tree told him that the son of destiny had appeared in the world, and his luck and destiny had fluctuated, as if a higher power was invisibly influencing something.

With all the anomalies and uncertainties, Lin Yi realized that he had to act quickly.

However, soul masters have been around for tens of thousands of years, but the things that have been passed down are still the same.

In order to make a breakthrough, Lin Yi had no choice but to place his hopes on knowledge from other worlds again.

Perhaps the Son of the Plane also had extraordinary fortune, and he thought of the theory of cultivating one's own essence, energy and spirit in the other world.

Just as he had always believed, cultivation requires looking inward.

There can be external assistance and stimulation, but the real breakthrough must be to break the current barriers by relying on your own strength.

Relying on external forces to break through the bottleneck is definitely inferior.

Of course, the soul master system has existed for tens of thousands of years and has its own advantages and wonders. Lin Yi would not be so arrogant as to think that he could change everything just by thinking about it, but it is indeed better to practice the cultivation of the essence, energy and spirit first.

The so-called essence, energy and spirit in other worlds, in this world, 'essence' refers to the physical body, energy and blood, 'energy' is the martial soul and soul power, and 'spirit' is the mental power.

The unity of essence, energy and spirit is to integrate one's own qi, blood, soul power and mental power into one, but in fact, Lin Yi suddenly realized that he had walked on this path unknowingly, and those self-created soul skills before were just partial manifestations of the unity of essence, energy and spirit.

Somehow, it has already explained my compatibility and destiny with this path.

However, it is better to keep the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit in balance.

Lin Yi's current spirit is far ahead, and his Qi is still okay, but this spirit...

The physical strength of the weapon spirit was not high, but after the blessing of the ancient golden tree when the spirit awakened, and the baptism of the gold of living things later, plus several times of absorbing spirit rings beyond the limit, the tempering of the body and blood, Lin Yi realized that the strength of his physical body and blood was actually slightly stronger than his soul power.

In order to speed up the cultivation of his own soul power and find a way to temper his body, Lin Yi had to think of practicing the exercises in the other world. However, the other world was originally the world of ordinary people. There were only theories of cultivation, and perhaps some mysterious things, but the memories of the other world were only those ordinary things, which could not be relied upon.

Fortunately, Lin Yi still has a trump card, which is his comprehension far beyond that of ordinary people. The previous method of refining weapons has already proved that Lin Yi's comprehension in cultivation is extraordinary.

Nowadays, the top meditation method of Daluo Continent has not changed for tens of thousands of years, so he simply figured out a method on his own.

Who dares to say that modern laws are inferior to ancient laws!
Not only the methods of cultivating soul power, but also the methods of cultivating physical qi and blood, must be comprehended as soon as possible.

Who would have thought that in such a vast Douluo Continent, there is not even a method for cultivating the physical body!
In order to speed up the process as much as possible, Lin Yi thought of the method of the anatomy teacher from another world. It would be easier to familiarize himself with the structure and then create it.

I bowed deeply to the cadaver teacher. All grudges are gone after the death. Those lying here now are just people who have contributed to the world of soul masters.

In the days that followed, Lin Yi began a fulfilling life of dissection, research, hunting down evil soul masters, and practicing.

Until Lin Yi met Tang Ya for the first time. Although he knew about her existence two years ago, it was the first time he met her.

Looking at the youthful girl in front of him, with a delicate face and bright eyes on her palm-sized oval face, he couldn't tell that she was an orphan of a sect that had experienced a tragic massacre.

However, Lin Yi, who had deeply developed his golden perception, was still able to vaguely catch the deep hatred and darkness in the girl's eyes.

Light and darkness are opposites. Although Lin Yi, who can know light, cannot read darkness, he can still sense whether a person has darkness or not, and thus analyze some of the content.

The girl's name was Tang Ya. Lin Yi was very excited when he saw Tang Ya for the first time, but it was not because he was attracted by her beauty.

Your brother’s wife is not a guest…you must not bully her!

Lin Yi just heard Beibei accidentally mention the Tang Sect's cultivation method - Xuantian Gong.

Lin Yi had no intention of prying into the secrets of other people's sects, but for Lin Yi who was comprehending the method of cultivation, this technique was definitely a very important reference. After all, it was left by a god, especially since that god was an enemy. Even if it was useless, it would be good to study the enemy's weaknesses and understand the enemy after getting it.

Lin Yi entrusted Beibei to propose the idea of ​​exchanging Xuantian Gong with Tang Ya, promising not to practice it or pass it on to others, and to name any price. Unfortunately, Tang Ya adhered to the so-called glory of the Tang Clan and firmly disagreed. For both public and private reasons, he could not rob her by force, so Lin Yi had to give up, but he would bring up the old matter from time to time.

Tang Ya disliked Lin Yi at first, but gradually understood Lin Yi's true character and gradually accepted this good brother of Beibei.

Until one day, during the holiday break of Beibei's fourth grade at the Foreign Affairs College, she suddenly found Lin Yi and said, "Ayi, I'm going to accompany Xiaoya to the Xingdou Great Forest to obtain the third spirit ring..."
