Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 14 Resource Competition
After sleeping for three hours, it was already dark when Lin Po woke up.

After stretching his muscles and bones to promote blood circulation, Lin Po was pleasantly surprised to find that his soul power cultivation level of level 34 had made a big step forward towards level 35.

Cultivation also requires a combination of work and rest. It doesn’t seem like a bad thing to relax occasionally.

"Awake? Did you sleep well?"

Zhang Peng estimated that the time was almost up, so he came to Lin Po's courtyard again and happened to catch him waking up.

"It's the Sixth Lord. He slept well. It was quite comfortable to have such a nap."

Lin Po looked at the person who came and responded with a smile.

"Now that you're awake, let's get down to business."

While Lin Po asked Zhang Peng to sit down, he asked, "What's the matter?"

If there is any serious matter, you can find him. Although he is vaguely known as the quasi-saint son, on the surface he is still a rubbish little soul master in his 30s.

Seeing his doubts, Zhang Peng didn't keep him in suspense.

"It's related to your status as a quasi-holy son."

"Not long ago, the Master increased your current cultivation resources by another 50 percent."

"Although Your Highness is very popular within the church, when it comes to resources, no one will complain about having too much. If you have too much, of course there will be people who are jealous."

"Although the church has tacitly accepted you as the Holy Son, you are not yet one. Therefore, the resources you occupy are now resented by others, and the leaders are several Titled Douluo-level elders."

Zhang Peng paused and continued.

"The reason for the dissatisfaction among these elders is quite ridiculous. They believe that the leader took it from them."

"But what's the reality?" Lin Po asked.

Of course he knew that he had a lot more resources, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen here.

"The increased resources were paid for by the Master himself. It's not what those old idiots said. To put it bluntly, they're just greedy."

Zhang Peng seemed extremely angry when he said this.

After learning that one third of his resources were provided by his teacher, Lin Po felt warm in his heart. You treat me with sincerity, so how could I let you down?

At the same time, he also sentenced to death those old gang members who dared to question their teacher Yang.

The holy religion does not need termites.

"What do I need to do?"

Lin Po's tone was filled with pure murderous intent. There was no other way, as a college student, one should be honest in their dealings with others.

Zhang Peng, who was still angry, looked at Lin Po's reaction and was slightly stunned.

No, why are you so murderous? I didn't say anything. Do you want to kill them just because of this? They are Titled Douluo after all. Wouldn't a normal person give them a lesson if they encountered such a thing? Oh, right. We are evil spirit masters, not normal people.

That's not right either! He's a Titled Douluo, not a stray dog.

Zhang Peng spoke quickly. Seeing the prince's attitude, if he didn't stop him, he would go to the door and beat him up.

"The leader wants to hold a competition between you and the men under those old guys. One is to give them a beating, and the other is to show off your muscles and build momentum for yourself."

"Of course, you must be a Soul King or a Soul Master below the Soul King level, and your age must not exceed 15 years old. The Master believes that with your abilities, no one can be your opponent."

After hearing this, Lin Po put away his murderous intent and thought to himself.

Seeing Lin Po put away his murderous intent, Zhang Peng secretly wiped the sweat off his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

He is truly worthy of being the master's disciple. He wants to kill people if he disagrees with something. He is even more evil than the evil soul master.

Lin Po thought about it and sighed.

This is indeed the best solution at the moment, showing off one's muscles, shutting up the gossips, and then paving the way for becoming the Son of God in the future.

It is impossible for the teacher to kill those Titled Douluo easily. After all, the team is difficult to lead and the morale of the team cannot be dispersed.

However, not being able to kill them now does not mean that they cannot be killed in the future. I will wait for the future confrontation with Shrek, use Mirror Flowers and Water Moon to control them, and let each of them hold a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell and self-destruct. This can also be considered a contribution to the Holy Church.

Thinking of this, Lin Po smiled and said that he understood the teacher's thoughts.

"Okay, let's follow the teacher's plan. We can deal with those old guys later."

Zhang Peng shuddered slightly at Lin Po's calm tone, silently crossing out those old men. He decided to avoid contact with them if possible. At the same time, he made up his mind not to provoke this killer in front of him. This prince was too evil.

He almost had a heart attack just now.

"So when does the competition start? What's the price? If I lose, the teacher will need to stop providing resources, even though it's impossible for me to lose."

"But what if they lose? There's no way it'll be free of cost."

Seeing Lin Po returning to normal, Zhang Peng did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

"If they lose, they'll need to hand over 30% of their resources, and that's 30% for each person. That's a lot more than you have."

Lin Po nodded.

"That's reasonable. When does the competition start, and what do I need to prepare?"

"No need to prepare anything, just get into good shape. The match will be at 9:00 AM in three days, at Training Ground No. 1."

Lin Po breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the exact news. As long as there was still time, it was enough to replicate his soul skills.

After saying this, Zhang Peng said he had something else to do and would not accompany him any longer. Before Lin Po could get up to see him off, he flew out of sight in the blink of an eye.

Lin Po looked puzzled. Am I that scary?

Seeing that it was getting late, he thought that there were still three days left and there was no need to rush to imprint skills, so he prepared to continue practicing.

After taking a bath with the help of the maid, Lin Po, wearing pajamas, sat cross-legged on the training platform and began tonight's practice.

. . .

A night of silence.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Lin Po went to the training ground, waiting for Wu San's arrival.

He thought he had arrived early enough, but he didn't expect Wu San to arrive even earlier than him.

Looking at the dew on Wu San's hair, it was obvious that it had been there for quite some time.

Well, he's a good subordinate.

When Wu San saw Lin Po coming, he quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Little Sanzi greets His Highness."

Lin Po, who was somewhat immune to this name, suppressed the corner of his mouth and sat on the chair brought by Wu San.

Looking at Wu San kneeling on one knee in front of him, Lin Po felt the benefits of power for the first time.

As a leader, even if you do nothing, just move your eyes, move your fingers, or even speak, your smart subordinates will know what you need and complete it perfectly.

Power is poison. The ancients were right.

But it’s just for the experience, now is not the time to enjoy it.

After organizing his words, Lin Po said, "Xiao Sanzi, I need you to do two things."

Wu San, kneeling on one knee, looked up at Lin Po.

"Your Highness, please give me your instructions."

"First thing, find me some soul masters with special soul skills within two days. I want them all, including offensive, control, support, and food skills. They must have positive effects. Bring them to me. If anyone disagrees, just tell them it's my request. About ten will be enough."

If Wu San really brings back some special effects like clothes exploding, Lin Po will be too embarrassed to face anyone.

"The second thing requires you, or someone else, to travel a long distance. I need you to find the Soul Devouring Carving Knife, ranked 99th on the Carving Knife Rankings. I've heard it appeared at an auction in the Xingluo Empire. You can go take a look."

"Of course, your benefit is indispensable."

After Wu San remembered these two tasks, he looked up at Lin Po.

"Little Sanzi, remember this and I will not let His Highness down."

"Well, let's go."
