Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 1 Avengers in the Mud

At the border of the Star Dou Great Forest, two figures gradually approached.

"Let's stay here. It's going to rain soon. We need to deal with it quickly and go back to the academy early. I don't want to get drenched in the rain." One of the men said.

Another person asked, "Don't you say it needs to be buried deeper?" The voice was very cold and it was a female voice.

"Forget it, let's bury him here. No one will come to pay tribute to him wherever he is buried.

Tsk tsk, this little guy is really pitiful. Now that he is dead, don’t let him be food for soul beasts anymore.

It's also incredibly strange. Anyone who tries to touch his body will be instantly severely injured, including the dean and Elder Xuan. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent us on this trip."

"Shh, keep your voice down! This kind of thing is shameful. If it gets out, we'll be in big trouble. Stop watching and come help!"

After a while.

"Okay, let's go."

"Ah."

Not long after they left, a heavy rain began to fall, and the dark forest emanated a sense of terror. A blood-red light shone towards the burial site, and then silence quickly returned.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the mud. Although it was covered in mud and water, a closer look revealed that it was the hand of a seven or eight-year-old child.

"Uh, I'm not dead? Is it because my second martial spirit awakened and saved my life? Eyes? Evil martial spirit? Hahahahaha, it's God's will! Shrek, the humiliation of the past two years must be repaid a hundredfold!"

The voice was hoarse enough to stop a child from crying, and if the content of his words were to be spread, he would be considered a heretic and executed.

A muddy child crawled out of a mud pit. His delicate features were easily discernible. The only flaw was his pupil-less, scarlet eyes that emitted a terrifying red glow.

Standing up and looking at the surrounding environment, Lin Po determined the direction of the forest exit and moved forward limping step by step.

Just after taking a few steps, a figure appeared in the air.

"Why is the aura of martial spirit suppression gone? Huh? Why is there a child here? It can't be..."

With a flash, a man in a black robe and with an evil aura appeared in front of Lin Po.

"Boy, let me see your martial spirit." The man in black robe said bluntly.

"Okay." Looking at the black-robed man in front of him who came with ill intentions, Lin Po thought of something and responded.

The scarlet pupils reappeared, revealing an evil aura. The black-robed man saw this without any fear, and instead began to laugh.

"This level of martial spirit suppression! I never thought that such an opportunity could come from any random mission. Boy, I am Zhang Peng, the Sixth Priest of the Holy Spirit Church. I give you two choices: either join the Holy Spirit Church or die!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Po made a decision: "Okay, I'll join, but there's a condition."

"Huh? What are the conditions?" Zhang Peng asked curiously.

"No matter how successful I am in the future, it cannot stop me from taking revenge on Shrek!" Lin Po's eyes revealed boundless hatred.

"Sure. My Holy Church and Shrek are mortal enemies. If there is no problem, let's go." Zhang Peng said.

Before Lin Po could speak, Zhang Peng held Lin Po under his armpit and flew away from the Star Dou Great Forest and headed for the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Church in the Sun and Moon Empire.

Three days later, at the Holy Spirit Church headquarters.

"Greetings, Sixth Lord." The two evil soul masters guarding the gate bowed their heads and said respectfully.

"Is the leader here?" Zhang Peng asked.

"The leader is still in the hall." One of the evil soul masters replied.

"Okay." Zhang Peng said.

Holding Lin Po under his arm, he slowly walked into the hall. The hall was richly decorated, yet permeated with an evil aura. Light seemed to never reach here, and the only glimmer of light was from those priceless night-shining pearls. "Master, mission accomplished. And a little surprise," Zhang Peng said respectfully, lowering his head after putting Lin Po down.

Zhongli Wu, standing on the high platform, slowly turned around, and a handsome yet sinister face appeared before Lin Po. "Sixth Lord, you've worked hard. An unexpected reward is this little fellow next to you."

Zhang Peng responded, "Yes, his martial soul is his eyes. Moreover, his evil spirit is quite pure, and his martial soul is of very high quality."

"Alright, kid, release your spirit and let me see it," Zhongli Wu said gently. If it weren't for that evil-looking face, Lin Po would have really thought he was a decent leader.

Lin Po didn't say anything, but released his martial spirit. A pair of evil eyes without pupils appeared in Zhongli Wu's eyes.

Zhongli Wu's body trembled, and he looked at Lin Po in surprise. Zhongli Wu's Death Demon Puppet Martial Soul was the highest-quality evil Martial Soul. What kind of quality could a Martial Soul that could bring him Martial Soul suppression be?

"Okay, okay, not bad. He has great talent, leave him to me."

"Yes. Then I'll take my leave first." After Zhang Peng finished speaking, he turned around and left the palace.

"Come on, little guy. Tell me your origins. Don't even think about lying. I can see through it." Zhongli Wu asked Lin Po.

Lin Po said expressionlessly: "There's nothing much to say, he's just a discarded pawn."

“To put it simply, I’m an orphan. Luckily, I was picked up by someone from Shrek. When I was six years old, I only awakened one martial spirit, a flame with divine attributes, and it was innately full of spirit power.

Then my luck ran out.”

"I'm the disciple of the Dean of Shrek's Outer Court. My martial spirit is the Evil Fire Phoenix. I've always been troubled by the evil fire, so those hypocrites at Shrek came up with the idea of ​​using my martial spirit to purify the evil fire.

For some reason, this idea was accepted by everyone.

For the next two years, they often locked me up with that Evil Fire Phoenix Spirit Master."

"In the end, their plan succeeded. After two years, the evil fire was purified. As a result, my martial spirit was shattered and I died.

But I don’t know why they didn’t destroy my body, but instead had someone take me to the Star Dou Great Forest and bury me.

In the end, the awakening of my second martial soul saved my life, and the Sixth Priest found me and brought me back."

Lin Po described his experiences of the past two years in the simplest terms. Although his tone was calm, it was not difficult to sense the hatred hidden deep in his heart.

"So that's how it is. It's something they can really do. Do you know what your martial soul is capable of?" Zhongli Wu nodded, and after confirming the authenticity of Lin Po's words, he continued to ask.

Lin Po thought for a moment, "Currently, it's known that my mental power is very strong, and I can make the target feel fear. However, I feel that there are other abilities that can be developed. I should be able to find out after absorbing the spirit ring. Besides, my spirit power has recovered and is still at level ten."

"Hmm? How is that possible?" Zhongli Wu asked in surprise. He placed a hand on Lin Po's shoulder, sensing him carefully. After a moment, Zhongli Wu slowly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

“Hahaha, Shrek really threw away a treasure.

Your current soul power may be hidden in your second martial soul, and the awakening of the second martial soul has brought you back your innate soul power. It will not affect your future practice at all. In fact, because of what happened in the past two years, your future practice will be smoother.

I would like to accept you as my disciple, what do you think?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Po knelt on the ground, bowed, and shouted, "Disciple Lin Po, greetings to the teacher."

"Hahahaha, okay, you don't have to kneel anymore in the future. The Holy Church doesn't tolerate this. Have a good rest and take good care of your body. I will take you to get the spirit ring in three days." Zhongli Wu said happily.

"Yes." Lin Po stood up and responded.

"Come, take my disciple down to rest."

A Soul Douluo-level evil soul master quietly appeared. A hoarse voice sounded: "Your Highness Lin Po, please."

"Thank you." Lin Po nodded in response.
