Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 89 Four parties gather together
The news that the genius Xiao Hongchen publicly declared a challenge to a transfer student quickly caused a sensation in the academy.

Those forces that have noticed Lin Po have also sent people to infiltrate the academy to assess his value.

The two of them, who had no idea about this matter, strolled on the small path in the campus at noon, chatting casually.

"Brother Lin Po, are you really sure? Although my brother is a little arrogant, he is still very strong. No one in his age group can beat him."

In Meng Hongchen's opinion, her worries were not unreasonable. Xiao Hongchen's martial soul, the three-legged golden toad, was perfectly adapted to artillery tactics. Apart from level suppression, she had never seen a soul engineer of the same level who could withstand several rounds of artillery fire.

The girl's concern made Lin Po look strange, and also made Meng Hongchen, who didn't know Lin Po's background, feel embarrassed and angry, so she lightly hit Lin Po's shoulder with her pink fist.

Seeing this, Lin Po stopped teasing Meng Hongchen and whispered in her ear, "Your brother is indeed very strong, but I am even stronger. I don't think I told you that I am also a Soul Emperor."

A warm breath blew past Meng Hongchen's ears, and the tips of the girl's ears turned pink. But Meng Hongchen was more surprised than shy.

"Brother Lin Po, you are actually a Soul Emperor?! How is this possible?! How did you cultivate?"

Lin Po chuckled and did not answer her. The excited Meng Hongchen also realized that his question seemed to offend Lin Po's secret. He lowered his head embarrassedly and kept drawing circles on the ground with his toes.

"Let's practice together. I can teach you."

The heavenly sound entered Meng Hongchen's ears. Meng Hongchen suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Po with shining eyes.

"Really?! There won't be any problems?"

"Of course not, so, would you?"

"Of course I do!!"

After saying these four words, Meng Hongchen's face turned even redder, and no one knew what he was imagining.

Seeing this, Lin Po felt a little emotional in his heart, and his eyes looked at Meng Hongchen more gently.

"Forget it, I still can't do something like playing with a girl's feelings. I'll just have to change the plan. Old fox, is this also part of your calculations?"

Just when the young boy and girl were enjoying a peaceful life, in an exclusive office of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen, who had just heard the whole process of the incident in the cafeteria at noon, suddenly sneezed.

As if he suddenly remembered something, he muttered with a smile.

"Hehe, I knew you, little fox, weren't such a heartless person. This way, I can rest assured in handing Xiao Meng over to you. I just don't know how strong you are, but as the Son of God, I think you can be pretty good."

Then he looked up at Lin Jiayi and made an unexpected decision.

"Xiao Lin, open up the academy's entrance and exit restrictions, and spread the news of Xiao and Lin Po's duel. It would be fun if the story was a bit outrageous and a bigger fuss was made.

Our Holy Son will understand what I mean."

Lin Jiayi responded in a deep voice, without asking Jing Hongchen's intention, but just completed his boss's order meticulously.

After Lin Jiayi left, Jing Hongchen stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the prosperous scene of Mingdu outside the window, muttering to himself.

"Lin boy, I'm going to face those old guys in Mingdu head-on. Don't let me down."

. . .

Time flies and soon it is time for the battle.

Lin Po and Meng Hongchen, who arrived at the third training ground first, were a little dazed when they saw that the seats were full and the aisles were almost full of people standing.

Lin Po stood there in a daze for a few seconds and instantly understood the situation at the scene.

"Are you planning to label me a member of the Hongchen family?! But it's also good for me. At least I can stand on the stage openly, this old fox."

While Lin Po was thinking, Meng Hongchen was still wondering foolishly: "Why are there so many people here today? Could it be that my brother did it?!"

Lin Po frowned when he heard Meng Hongchen's mumbling. It was really a blessing for him, Xiao Hongchen, to have a sister like you.

In just a moment, Xiao Hongchen also entered the training ground from the other end and was also shocked by the noisy situation here.

However, he was still clear-headed and soon noticed several familiar figures in the crowd.

"Aren't those people descendants of the imperial family?! Why are they here? Could it be..." Xiao Hongchen glanced at Lin Po in the distance, as if he had figured something out. He only felt an itchy sensation on his head, as if something was about to grow.

On several stands that cannot be seen from the stadium, representatives of several major forces in Mingdu were standing, looking at the training ground from afar.

"Master, almost all the forces that can come to Mingdu have arrived, but..."

"Just what?" Jing Hongchen asked lightly after glancing at Lin Jiayi who looked hesitant.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiayi did not dare to hesitate any longer and told everyone the information he knew.

"The prince is here too and seems to be very interested in Lin Po."

After hearing this, Jing Hongchen narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about. In the end, he actually laughed, and his tone was quite relaxed.

"Our prince, I'm afraid he'll come here with high hopes but leave disappointed. This little guy doesn't like to be inferior to others."

Such outrageous words coming out of Jing Hongchen's mouth were terrifying no matter how you looked at them. At least Lin Jiayi was trembling and dared not speak.

After glancing at Lin Jiayi, Jing Hongchen, feeling rather bored, stopped talking and waited for the battle to begin.

At exactly two o'clock, Lin Po and Xiao Hongchen stood at the two ends of the arena. A Soul Saint-level referee stood on a flying soul guide in mid-air and began to explain the rules of the battle.

Xiao Hongchen looked at Lin Po in the distance with complicated eyes. No matter how proud he was, he could now see that the protagonist of this battle was not himself, but the young man in front of him who was praised by his grandfather.

"I've been tricked by Grandpa again. It's not a big deal. This Lin Po is about my age. No matter how strong he is, he can't be much stronger. I won't necessarily lose, right?"

Lin Po ignored Xiao Hongchen's gaze, and glanced at the spectators on the surrounding stands who had different expressions, excitement, indifference, sneering, and encouragement. This made Lin Po suddenly feel a surge of heroic spirit.

"Let's start from here."

Thinking of this, Lin Po put away his casualness and looked at Xiao Hongchen with a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

The sudden change startled Xiao Hongchen and he swallowed unconsciously.

Then he made up his mind and possessed the body with his martial spirit without waiting for the referee's order. The five best-matched spirit rings were arranged in a regular pattern behind him.

Seeing this, the referee who was still explaining the rules of the game stopped talking and began pre-match preparations.

"Both sides release their martial spirits!"

After receiving the order, Lin Po's Mangekyō Sharingan was possessed, and six soul rings of yellow, purple and black disguised by the refraction of light rose one by one. The originally noisy training ground suddenly became silent, and even the referee forgot to announce the start of the game for a moment.

Then even more chaotic sounds broke out.

"Are you kidding me? Soul Emperor?! He's only 14?!"

"Is there something wrong with the intelligence?!"

"How can this be!"

The big shots hidden in the stands were also shocked after confirming the Soul Emperor's aura, and stared at Lin Po in the field as if he were a monster.

"What a genius! This old fellow Jing Hongchen is really quick to act."

"Hmph, be careful, a tall tree attracts the wind!"

"Haha, the wind is going to blow..."

The diversity of human nature is fully reflected at this moment.

Xiao Hongchen, who was standing opposite Lin Po, was also a little confused at the moment.

"Fuck, I'm a genius, but isn't it a bit unfair to ask me to fight a Soul Emperor?! Grandpa, you're tricking me again!"

I originally planned to devote a chapter or so to explaining the power of the capital and the royal family's attitude toward the protagonist, but then I decided it wasn't necessary. It would be too tedious to write, and it wouldn't seem interesting. So, I'll just set it up as Jing Hongchen blocking all the forces in the early stages. However, some things still need to be explained... The author should try to keep it simple.
