Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 2 Eight Years Past
In the gorgeously decorated bedroom, Lin Po lay quietly in the bathtub. Various precious medicinal herbs were floating in the bathtub to treat Lin Po's injuries. It can be seen that Zhongli Wu attaches great importance to his disciple Lin Po.

Although Lin Po's injuries looked serious, they were actually only external injuries caused when he crawled out of the soil. Internally, the fatal injuries caused by the shattered martial soul were also removed by the blood-eyed martial soul brought by the blood-red light.

After his spirit awakened, his days at Shrek were like hell, torturing his body and mind, but he never lacked food and nutrition. After all, Shrek needed a healthy evil fire purification machine. At least before Ma Xiaotao's evil fire purification was completed, the hypocrites at Shrek would not allow anything to happen to Lin Po.

Although he would not allow Lin Po to hunt soul beasts and absorb soul rings, he did not stop Lin Po from exercising. In Shrek's eyes, no matter how much he exercised, he would not pose any threat.

Two years of physical training, coupled with the burning of evil fire, gave Lin Po a body that was different from other level ten soul masters, as well as mental strength and willpower that far exceeded that of ordinary people.

"Based on my current physical strength, my first spirit ring should be able to absorb the Millennium Spirit Ring. Back then, I worked so hard to strengthen my willpower, but ended up being burned out by the evil fire. So, Ma Xiaotao has done me a favor, so let's leave her body intact."

Lin Po lay in the bathtub, whispering softly.

"The exact number of years it can absorb will need to wait for the teacher to test it before we can determine. However, this eye spirit looks so familiar, like a pair of Sharingan without pupils or magatama?"

Lin Po looked down at the reflection of the blood-red eyes in the water and said with a strange expression.

After a while, Lin Po relaxed in the tub again: "Forget it, things have come to this point, I can't resist, I can only enjoy it."

Looking up at the ceiling decorated with various precious jewels, thinking about the experiences of the past eight years, my eyes gradually became distorted and my consciousness drifted away.

Lin Po was just a newly employed worker. One day, while leaving get off work, he encountered a man attempting suicide by jumping into the water. Having just graduated and still harboring a sense of justice, Lin Po quickly jumped in to rescue the man.

Lin Po hadn't expected the man to be a water stalker. As Lin Po was about to pull him toward shore, he grabbed hold of Lin Po and kept pushing his head under the water. After a few back-and-forths, Lin Po lost his strength, choked on the water, and then accidentally hit his head on a bridge pier, losing consciousness.

When he woke up again, Lin Po found himself as a wrapped baby abandoned on the roadside. This made Lin Po panic, and he wanted to shout out loud, but all he could say was cry.

The crying attracted a group of people, who took pity on Lin Po and took him back. Lin Po felt safe for the time being and gradually fell asleep. The baby's body was too easily tired.

As the days passed, Lin Po also learned about the situation here from the people who saved him. Although in the process of understanding, Lin Po also complained about why Chinese was also spoken in the other world.

Shrek Academy is the name of this place. When Lin Po heard this name, he knew that he had traveled to Douluo Continent.

When he saw the old man lying hunched in the rocking chair, and the woman holding him called him "Old Mu", Lin Po once again confirmed that this was the time point of the Peerless Tang Sect. And the person holding him was the senior sister of the inner courtyard, Zhang Lexuan.

A few days later, a baby appeared beside Lin Po. From the Soul Saint who was responsible for taking care of their lives, he learned that the baby's name was Beibei.

Lin Po calculated carefully and thought: He and Beibei are the same age, and Beibei was 14 when he first appeared. This means there are still more than 13 years until the plot begins. There is still plenty of time. As long as the awakened martial spirit is not bad, it may not be impossible to reach the peak.

Time passed, and soon it was the day when Lin Po and Bei Bei awakened their martial spirits.

Over the past six years, ever since Lin Po was free to move around, he's been exercising. Although adults consider it useless, Lin Po remains stubborn. He believes he's a time traveler from the modern era, with values ​​and thoughts vastly different from those of this era. Before he can change the world, he can only change himself. The first step to changing himself is to cultivate his will.

Simply insisting on exercising is indeed of little use, but if you can't even stick to exercising, there is no need to think about being able to persist in practicing for decades in the future.

Because of this, six-year-old Lin Po is a head taller than Beibei and much stronger than Beibei.

In Lin Po's plan, as long as his martial soul and innate soul power were not weak, and he was familiar with the plot, he could seize some opportunities and reach the pinnacle. As for becoming a god, it was purely based on fate. After all, without cheats, it was almost impossible to avoid the calculations of the God King.

Unexpected things happen in life, and all this changed after Lin Po awakened his martial soul.

The awakening of his martial soul went smoothly. He possessed a martial soul with both divine and fire attributes, the Holy Fire, and it was also innately full soul power. The moment he awakened, Lin Po was extremely excited because he saw the possibility of becoming a god.

After the old guys in the Sea God Pavilion learned about Lin Po's martial soul attributes, they all showed strange expressions on their faces. However, Lin Po, who was too excited, did not notice.

Three days later, Lin Po’s two-year nightmare began.

Ma Xiaotao, a disciple of Yan Shaozhe, the dean of Shrek's Martial Spirit Department, has been troubled by evil fire for a long time. Apart from the ultimate ice, the only thing that can remove the evil fire is the sacred attribute.

With the tacit consent of everyone at Shrek except Zhang Lexuan, Lin Po was locked up by Yan Shaozhe in Ma Xiaotao's room, where the evil fire had erupted. No one knew what had happened in the room. Two hours later, Ma Xiaotao's evil fire was partially purged, and Lin Po lay on the ground, his body covered in burns, barely breathing.

Then, for two years, Lin Po repeated the three things of healing his wounds, restoring his soul power, and removing the evil fire.

The long period of purification of the evil fire brought Lin Po's Holy Fire Martial Spirit to the brink of collapse. The last time he removed the evil fire, Lin Po was 8 years old and 10th level, while Ma Xiaotao was 13 years old and 45th level. The 35-level difference made the purification of the evil fire extremely difficult.

In the end, Lin Po's spirit was shattered, and he died instantly. Due to the level difference, Ma Xiaotao's spirit wasn't completely purified, but as long as she wasn't deliberately channeling it, the evil fire wouldn't erupt again. Even so, the old men at Shrek were quite satisfied.

As for Lin Po, Yan Shaozhe arranged for two inner court disciples to bury him far away at the entrance of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Lin Po woke up from a nightmare, looked around, and found himself still lying in the bathtub. Because of soaking for a long time, the water had cooled down and his body had turned white.

He shook his dizzy head and washed his face with water to sober himself up a little.

Lin Po once again felt his martial soul and the soul power slowly moving through his meridians.

"Is this God's mercy to me? He gave me another chance." Lin Po said in a low voice, but a vicious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Shrek, let's slowly settle this account!"
