Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 5: Training Begins

"I'm so tired. Let's go to sleep. I should start training tomorrow."

Absorbing soul rings, receiving plug-ins, thinking about the future, any one of these things is enough to determine a major event in one's life. Lin Po experienced it all in one day, which also made Lin Po extremely tired.

He fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.

. . .

The next morning, good habits prompted Lin Po to crawl out of his soft bed. After washing up and eating the breakfast prepared by his maid, he slowly walked to the training ground designated by his cheap teacher Zhongli Wu. There were all kinds of equipment that Lin Po couldn't understand. He could only roughly guess that these things were for physical training, but he had no idea how to use them. After all, Shrek didn't teach them.

When Lin Po arrived at the training ground, Zhongli Wu was already standing there waiting.

"Disciple Lin Po, nice to meet you, teacher." Lin Po stepped forward and saluted.

"Well, it looks like you've had a good rest. This is your training plan. Let's start if you have no problem." Zhongli Wu gave him a schedule.

The schedule, meticulously arranged down to the minute, laid out Lin Po's future cultivation life. Soul cultivation, physical training, combat training, meals, sleep, and everything else were clearly laid out. On the back, the Holy Spirit Cult's meditation method was recorded.

Looking at the schedule designed by someone who had the hard time preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam in his previous life, Lin Po was completely bewildered.

Zhongli Wu looked at Lin Po's expression and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Lin Po didn't dare to have any opinions, so he shook his head and said, "No."

"Okay, let's get started. Before you break through to Soul Sect, you need to practice according to the plan."

"Disciple will definitely break through to Soul Sect as soon as possible." Lin Po breathed a sigh of relief and responded. Fortunately, it didn't last forever. It was just Soul Sect. With some effort, it shouldn't take long.

Before leaving, Zhongli Wu said to Lin Po, "After you finish your training tonight, go to the main hall to find your master. Also, don't be lazy during training, someone will be watching you."

"Disciple, obey."

Lin Po watched Zhongli Wu slowly walk away. After Zhongli Wu disappeared, Lin Po began his own training career.

However, Lin Po got stuck at the first step of his training. In the morning, he needed to use the special equipment made by the Holy Spirit Church to do physical exercises, but he didn't know how to use the pile of things in front of him.

Just when Lin Po was at a loss, an acquaintance came.

"Your Highness Lin Po, long time no see." The Sixth Worshiper Zhang Peng suddenly spoke from behind Lin Po.

Startled, Lin Po turned around and saw Zhang Peng, still dressed in a black robe, and said with a bow, "Sixth Lord, long time no see."

"Hey, don't do that. You are now the master's disciple. Your status is no lower than mine." Zhang Peng dodged.

Lin Po shook his head and said, "Etiquette cannot be abolished. Your Majesty is a Super Douluo and a capable subordinate of the teacher. Lin Po should respect him."

Zhang Peng remained calm, but was very satisfied in his heart. He thought to himself: The leader has really accepted a good disciple. He is talented and speaks well. I introduced him to the Holy Church. He will definitely become a strong man in the future. It is good to leave a trace of his loyalty.

"I won't waste any more time on small talk. The Master sent me here to supervise your training. But why are you still standing here?"

Lin Po responded helplessly, "It's not that I don't practice, but I don't know how to use these things at all."

Zhang Peng laughed and stopped asking questions. He began to teach Lin Po how to use the equipment in front of him.

Time flies and it’s noon in the blink of an eye.

"Okay, Your Highness can use these things now, and the first training session was quite effective. It's almost time, Your Highness, please take a rest first and come to training on time in the afternoon." Zhang Peng said, looking at the time.

"Okay, Lin Po will take his leave first." After saying goodbye, Lin Po returned to his room and recalled the exercise effects brought by the equipment in the morning.

I couldn't help but think that soul guides are indeed the trend of the times. With just half a day of training on a few inferior auxiliary soul guides, the effect is equivalent to a whole day's exercise.

Although Lin Po didn't plan to learn how to make a soul guide, he still needed to study how to use it carefully. In most cases, using a soul guide would be too convenient. Moreover, the concept of battle armor could also be used as capital to trade with the Sun-Moon Empire and obtain useful resources.

Thinking of this, Lin Po thought sarcastically of Shrek, who rejected spirit guides. They looked down on spirit guides and were almost destroyed by the Sun-Moon Empire. In the original story, if it weren't for Tang San's mechanical demise at the end, Shrek would have been destroyed long ago.

After the lunch break, Lin Po came to the exclusive training ground again. The afternoon training content was practical training and learning of knowledge related to the Douluo Continent, including soul beasts, soul guides, etc.

Lin Po's sparring partner is still the Sixth Lord Zhang Peng.

"Keep your arms steady and strike hard."

"Charging forward recklessly is something only a fool would do. Reserve some strength. It will be useful whether you're launching a surprise attack or escaping."

"You've raised your legs so high, are you ready to let me see your little bird?"

Ruthless words kept coming out of Zhang Peng's mouth. Just half an hour into the actual combat training, Lin Po, who had excellent physical strength, was sweating profusely.

How come I didn't realize that this guy is so talkative before?

"Still distracted during the battle? Are you dissatisfied that you're not dying quickly enough?"

With a bang, Lin Po was knocked to the ground again.

Without saying much, he got up from the ground again and again for the countless times, and his expression gradually changed from gloomy to calm.

After seeing this, Zhang Peng praised, "That's right. The most important thing in battle is to maintain emotional stability. Whether it's anger or other emotions, it will affect the outcome of the battle. Keep up the good work."

Lin Po nodded in agreement, activated his soul ring, rushed towards Zhang Peng, and started a new round of battle.

In this way, time passed slowly throughout the afternoon in the cycle of fighting, listening to instructions, being knocked down, recovering soul power, and fighting again.

Lin Po was knocked down again. With trembling arms, he supported himself and got up, ready to attack again.

Zhang Peng, who was a little overwhelmed, waved his hands repeatedly, "Alright, alright, Your Highness, today's training is over. You still have to go find the Master."

After hearing this, Lin Po could no longer hold on and fell to the ground and fainted.

"Come here, take His Highness back to his room and prepare him for a medicinal bath!"

After Zhang Peng finished giving his instructions, he looked at the unconscious Lin Po and couldn't help but sigh, "Your Highness will become a great man in the future. Mission accomplished, go report to the leader."

A moment later, inside the main hall of the Holy Spirit Church headquarters.

Zhongli Wu stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the hall, listening to Zhang Peng's report on the training. After the report, Zhongli Wu remained silent for a long time, and the sound in the hall was so loud that you could hear a pin drop.

Zhongli Wu suddenly spoke up: "Sixth Honored One, what do you think of my disciple?"

Zhang Peng thought for a moment and replied, "He's extremely talented, determined, mature, and knows what he needs. He's also very good at dealing with people. Although he's a little immature, there's probably no one among his peers who can compare to him."

Zhongli Wu nodded and said, "That's a very high evaluation." He then said, "I plan to make Lin Po the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult."

Zhang Peng was startled when he heard this, and then he said, "The leader is wise. I will follow your instructions."

Zhongli Wu looked at Zhang Peng's reaction and said, "Don't worry, not now. He is still too young and too weak. It won't be too late to establish himself after my disciple breaks through to the Soul Sect. These few years will be a test for him."

"Also, Lin Po's training will be handed over to you in the near future. You will be fully responsible for it and will just need to report to me regularly."

Zhongli Wu gave Zhang Peng a task.

"Zhang Peng obeys the order."
