Douluo Continent: On Becoming a God Through Science

Chapter 67 Soul-Stealing Technique, Seed of Fear

"Waaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!"

Hu Liena let out a muffled scream, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground.

His eyes were lifeless, his face was contorted, and tears, snot, and saliva flowed uncontrollably from his face.

A faint, foul odor wafted from the grass; it was the excrement and urine that Hu Liena had released after losing control of her bladder.

The dark sky, the deserted wilderness, coupled with the psychological suggestion of You Chen, who had punished Hu Liena several times...

Hu Liena's fear, amplified to its extreme by You Chen's now partially mastered "Soul-Taming Technique"...

This constitutes the distorted world that Hu Liena sees as full of horror and terror.

If You Chen hadn't deliberately held back a bit, restraining Hu Liena's mind, given the aforementioned prerequisites and the immense difference in their mental strength, Hu Liena would have become completely insane from this blow, turning into an incurable madwoman.

You Chen's purpose was to disgust Bibi Dong, not to drive her mad and then kill himself.

He was simply annoyed by Hu Liena's tendency to cause trouble even after following him here. To prevent this brainless brat from provoking him again and causing a situation like today's out-of-control scenario, he wanted to scare Hu Liena so that she would never dare to bother him again.

However, the intensity of this "scare tactic" was slightly too high.

Even if Hu Liena saw his face within a year or two, she would be so scared that she would wet herself on the spot. As for later, although she wouldn't be scared to the point of wetting herself, she would never feel any fighting spirit or confrontation towards You Chen.

And even if it's five years, ten years... even if she becomes a Soul Saint or a Soul Douluo, this psychological shadow will not fade away.

As for whether the effects of the Soul-Suppressing Technique will disappear after Hu Liena becomes a Title Douluo or reaches the Spirit Domain Realm (tangible and substantial), You Chen cannot judge at present.

The greatest advantage of the Soul-Stealing Technique is that... as long as she doesn't encounter You Chen himself, Hu Liena is no different from a normal person under other circumstances.

You Chen essentially planted a seed of fear in Hu Liena's heart that would only sprout when she was facing him.

Even Bibi Dong wouldn't notice Hu Liena's unusual behavior.

Hu Liena herself would keep this scene sealed in her mind forever and would absolutely not want to bring it up.

Aside from You Chen himself, the only person who knew about this matter and knew that You Chen had used a terrifying mental technique on the Pope's disciple was... Tang Hao!

Whoosh.

As You Chen abandoned Hu Liena in this desolate wilderness, Tang Hao, clad in a black robe, finally approached her and began to observe her from a closer distance.

"What a terrifying mental skill! Is it You Chen's self-created skill? Will this little girl just become mentally impaired like this?"

Just as Tang Hao was frowning and pondering, he was surprised to find that Hu Liena's eyes gradually regained their clarity.

"Huh, where am I?"

Hu Liena blinked in confusion, feeling a sticky and uncomfortable sensation on her body. She suddenly looked down and then let out a muffled scream.

That's only natural; no woman who cares about her appearance would want to soil her pants with urine or feces...

Hu Liena first looked in the direction of Notting City, her expression momentarily unnatural, then she abruptly turned her head away: "No, no! Absolutely not! How can we get into the city like this!?"

Huliena had forgotten what had just happened, but under the influence of the seed of fear, she instinctively didn't want to go near Notting City and gave herself a plausible explanation.

So, thinking that it was about time for her to come out, Hu Liena decided to find a place with clean water outside the city as soon as possible to wash herself and then hurry back to Wuhun City.

Tang Hao, who witnessed the whole thing, remained in disbelief for a long time.

Using this bizarre mental technique on the Pope's disciple was a handle that You Chen deliberately gave to Tang Hao.

Some people might misunderstand, from an omniscient perspective, that You Chen had completely manipulated Tang Hao's psychology.

但实际不然.

You Chen could only roughly deduce a few possible directions of thought for Tang Hao.

Is it simply that You Chen and Bibi Dong are fighting like dogs? Or is it that you think You Chen is someone who can be won over, or that you think You Chen is an indirect ally who doesn't need to be interfered with?

The above three are all results that You Chen considers acceptable.

This also means that there are still some possibilities that You Chen doesn't think are so wonderful.

As mentioned before, in Notting City, You Chen was more worried about Tang Hao's existence than about Bibi Dong, who was far from the emperor's reach.

Therefore, in order to ensure that Tang Hao would not eliminate him as much as possible, You Chen chose to proactively expose his weaknesses.

With this leverage over him, even if Tang Hao wanted to get rid of You Chen, he would try to use You Chen first and then deal with him.

Tang Hao was once the leader and master of the four major single-attribute families, so he shouldn't be so blind as to not understand the principle of making the best use of resources.

You Chen's biggest worry was that Tang Hao would kill him without saying a word.

As long as this situation does not occur, there is always room for maneuver.

As long as this leeway is left, You Chen will have a chance to survive!

This was both a handle that You Chen had given him and a safety precaution he had taken in advance!

As for Tang Hao really using this to threaten him?

Then, of course, it will be a contest on another level!

When faced with victory or defeat, You Chen had such confidence that he would eventually win!

If Tang Hao fails to utilize this leverage for a long time, and waits until he has fully grown his power...

Of course, such a thing would be completely useless and wouldn't affect You Chen at all.

……

The choices, intrigues, and battles of the day left even You Chen physically and mentally exhausted.

Back at his own residence, a place heavily guarded and seemingly protected like a barrier, You Chen could finally relax a little.

By this time, he finally had the leisure to sort out his day's harvest.

He checked the system's information records, his eyebrows rising with amusement.

Not only Tang San's mission, but also Yu Xiaogang's mission has been declared completely completed.

This brings us to an order he gave to the Spirit Hall deacon during the day...

However, rewards are the top priority at the moment, so we'll leave that aside for now.

Both tasks were completed in full.

The more common rewards include: ten intermediate-level nutrition pills, intermediate-level soul power pills, intermediate-level strength pills, intermediate-level speed pills, intermediate-level soul power enhancement pills, and one intermediate-level experience pill.

A slightly better option: One Soul Ring Age Enhancement Card (Millennium).

The remaining rewards include: one "Marrow Cleansing Technique", two "Seeing the Source", and three "A Flash of Inspiration".

And the most precious items are: the adaptive optimal age trunk bone (maximum age of 100,000 years) and the martial art "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique (pseudo)".

It's no exaggeration to say they've made a fortune.

This is undoubtedly the most luxurious reward list the system has given so far, excluding that special adaptive soul ring!
