Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 71 Investment
Lin Po was a little dumbfounded, not because Huo Yuhao was crying, but simply because he was a little surprised that tears could be so big.
It is worthy of being a spiritual eye martial soul, it is so different from others.

"Mmmmm. Mmmmm. Mmmmm."

A simple lunch was spent with whimpering and chewing sounds.

In the end, Huo Yuhao's belly was so round that he supported himself with one hand on the back of the chair and touched his belly with a satisfied look on his face.

Only then did he remember who gave him the meal. He hurriedly looked up at the opposite side and saw Lin Po looking at him with a curled mouth, holding an unknown object in his hand.

"Soul Guidance Device?"

When Lin Po saw Huo Yuhao looking at him, he coughed and put away the soul guide in his hand for recording.

"Ahem, are you full? Are you interested in chatting now, Huo Yuhao?"

When Huo Yuhao heard Lin Po's voice, he put away his curiosity about the soul guide and sat up straight.

But with its tender and thin body, round belly and red eyes, it looks a bit funny.

"Who are you? Why are you helping me? And how do you know my name?"

Only he knew that he had changed his surname, but he never told anyone.

After expressing his doubts, Huo Yuhao stared at Lin Po closely, wanting to get a satisfactory answer.

"You're curious about this. My name is Lin Po. As you can see, I'm a Soul Emperor, a few years older than you. As for why I'm helping you, if I had to put it simply, it's an investment, an investment in you. As for your name, we'll tell you later."

"Invest in me? Am I worthy of your investment?!" Various expressions of surprise, excitement, doubt, and inferiority changed on Huo Yuhao's face. He never thought that his innate level one soul power would be valued by others.

Lin Po smiled slightly and said comfortingly: "You can be more confident, but also trust my judgment."

Then the martial spirit possessed him, and Huo Yuhao trembled all over after seeing the Mangekyō Sharingan, and the spiritual eye martial spirit also possessed him involuntarily.

"It's not fear, it's my body's instinct." Huo Yuhao quickly determined his own condition and was very confused.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Po's voice reached Huo Yuhao's ears.

"As you can see, my martial soul is similar to yours. We both have our own martial souls—our eyes. However, mine has mutated. Yours isn't just an eye; it's also connected to your brain. It's an extremely high-quality martial soul."

"My martial soul. What is that?"

Lin Po slapped his forehead when he heard this. Oh no, this kid doesn’t know anything at this point in time. He really has to start from the beginning.

"There are many types of martial spirits in this world, including weapon spirits, beast spirits, and so on. The most special kind of martial spirit is the body spirit. Unlike other martial spirits like swords, spears, halberds, wolves, tigers, and leopards, it is a special kind of martial spirit that uses a certain part of the soul master's body as its body."

It took Lin Po a full half hour to explain the basic knowledge of martial souls, the original martial soul, and the second awakening to Huo Yuhao.

This was also thanks to the fact that Huo Yuhao was a spiritual soul master, born with strong spiritual power and good memory, otherwise Lin Po would have had to spend a lot of time explaining it to him.

Huo Yuhao nodded after listening to Lin Po's explanation. "So you value me because of my true spirit?"

Lin Po shook his head, which made Huo Yuhao confused.
"There are other reasons besides this. Although the original martial spirit is rare, it's not enough for me to be so concerned."

"I'm investing in you, but it's your future self."

Huo Yuhao's confused look was a little funny. After suppressing the corners of his mouth, Lin Po began to explain himself.

"I recently experienced a second awakening of my martial spirit. Perhaps because of the unique nature of my martial spirit, I saw a glimpse of the future."

"The future." Huo Yuhao murmured in a low voice, but did not interrupt Lin Po.

"In the future I saw, the Sun-Moon Empire fought alone against three nations, forcing the three Douluo Kingdoms to flee in panic. Shrek ascended to a height and called upon the strongest to fight. At the highest point in the sky stood a man. Can you guess who that man was?"

Lin Po looked at Huo Yuhao with great interest, which made him feel a little creepy, and Lin Po's questions also aroused his imagination.

Then, an extremely bold idea popped into his mind, and it wouldn't go away. "You're not talking about me, are you?!" Huo Yuhao exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible?"

"Everything is possible. Have faith in yourself."

Although Huo Yuhao didn't quite believe Lin Po's words, he couldn't help but feel excited, muttering, "Great! This way, I'll definitely be able to avenge my mother."

"Young man, that's not necessarily true~"

Lin Po didn't really want to hit him, but in order to explain himself successfully, he still told the heartbreaking truth.

"What?! Why?! Tell me now!"

Huo Yuhao, who was originally excited, suddenly lost control. He stood up and roared at Lin Po with a ferocious face, completely forgetting that the person in front of him was a Soul Emperor.

He didn't care about Huo Yuhao's offense, but just released a small amount of vitality and mental power to stabilize his emotions.

After a moment, Huo Yuhao, who had recovered, recalled his previous actions and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly bowed and apologized: "Sorry, just now..."

"It's okay. I wouldn't get angry with a child." Lin Po waved his hand and asked him to sit down first.

Huo Yuhao sat down again and was silent for a while before asking:
"Can you tell me why I didn't do it?" As he spoke, the low breath surrounded him again.

"I can't imagine what kind of mental journey a child with such deep obsession must have gone through to end up like in the original novel."

Lin Po sighed and began to tell the truth.

"There is fate and karma in this world. You reap what you sow.

You are beloved by the world, so as long as you choose to step out of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, your future will definitely lead to becoming a powerful being and ascending to that position. This is inevitable.

It’s just that the process and results will be different under different interventions, with some good and some bad results.”

Huo Yuhao was a little confused by the vague words. Still weak and inexperienced, he couldn't understand what Lin Po meant.

But he understood one thing, that is, he would definitely be very strong in the future, but there would be big problems in the process of becoming strong.

"It seems you've already guessed it. You're really smart."

Huo Yuhao seemed somewhat happy about Lin Po's praise, but this speculation did not make him happy.

"Originally, I just wanted to be friends with you. Your future is not bad, but mine will even surpass that level.

But after paying a certain price and seeing part of your growth experience and your future, I changed my mind.

I need to do something to change this future.”

After hearing this, Huo Yuhao let down most of his guard.

If you think about it carefully, the person in front of you is not much older than you and is already a Soul Emperor. He will definitely be stronger than you in the future.

But he is only a level 10 soul master now. Even if he has a bright future, it is not enough to make a genius like Lin Po spend so much time and effort on him.

Lin Po had also been keeping an eye on Huo Yuhao, and was overjoyed when he saw him let down his guard.

'It's almost stable, give it a little more strength!'

Huo Yuhao’s mind raced as he cooperatively asked the question that Lin Po wanted to know.

"Brother Lin, can you tell me what you saw?"

Wow, you’re quite good at getting close to people.
