Douluo Continent: My Path to Godhood Through Stat Allocation

Chapter 62 Return

His gaze was sharp as an eagle's, fixed intently on Fang Ling.

His tone was full of doubt:

"If you were talking about Soul Masters, that would be one thing, but you're only at the first level of the Innate Realm. How could you possibly reach the level of a Great Soul Master at this age?"

It exudes a faint sense of detachment, mixed with a hint of unpredictable danger.

He seemed to share the same thought as Zhu Zhuqing, also regarding him as a fallen soul master.

Fang Ling noticed the change in atmosphere, but ignored the questioning gazes that were directed at her.

He simply smiled and said calmly, "Of course it's possible. Just go and fight a life-or-death battle."

He immediately took out the silver battle spirit badge from the Great Battle Arena from his ring and handed it over.

"Senior, look, this is the Silver Soul Badge I obtained in the Great Soul Arena during a life-or-death battle."

"I know I'm not very talented, but I happen to have some experience in combat."

"It is said that there is great terror between life and death. When faced with the threat of death, people can unleash more of their potential."

"I didn't believe that one couldn't become a powerful Soul Master if their level was too low, so I chose to force myself through life-or-death battles, and that's how I eventually became a Great Soul Master."

"Silver Soul Fighter in life-or-death battles... how many matches have you fought?"

The black cat soul master touched it and was surprised to find that it was true.

The badge of the Grand Arena is made using special methods, making it very difficult to fake.

Moreover, it is an extremely rare silver battle spirit badge exclusive to life-or-death battles, and like the certificate from the Spirit Hall, it is also engraved with Fang Ling's name.

More than thirty matches.

"A winning streak...aren't you afraid of dying?"

Fang Ling's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she said casually:

"Afraid of death? Why aren't you?"

"There were a few very dangerous battles, I almost died. But more than death, I fear being unknown, more afraid of not being able to leave my own mark on this brilliant world of Soul Masters!"

Even if you know you're not naturally gifted, and you know that human potential is limited.

Zhu Zhuqing felt almost as if she were in the same boat, her voice trembling slightly as she eagerly asked the question.

"I know I'm not very talented, but I believe that nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it."

Fang Ling formed one hand into a claw and clenched it into a fist in front of his chest.

It was as if he wanted to concentrate the passion and determination in his chest into this solidified fist stance.

His eyes were like the rising sun, radiating light, and the determination and perseverance he exuded could penetrate the cold wind and reach the softest part of people's hearts.

His voice was deep and powerful; every word not only resonated in everyone's ears but also struck their hearts like a heavy hammer.

It stirred up ripples, making people unable to contain themselves and deeply moved.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and all things were silent.

All eyes were involuntarily drawn to Fang Ling's bright, shining eyes.

If he were just a Soul Master, such words would only make him laugh.

But he has participated in so many life-or-death battles and is still alive.

Then he successfully became a Great Soul Master, and survived being hunted by two thousand-year-old soul beasts without being killed directly. That is the most useful persuasive power.

"Nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it..."

Even a stranger would feel genuine admiration for someone who would risk their life for a great goal.

The members of the Soul Hunter team were like this, and Zhu Zhuqing was no exception.

Why does she also possess the Martial Soul Fusion Skill?

Fang Ling, who lacks talent, works very hard, while Dai Mubai, who has great talent, is very cowardly and doesn't even want his beautiful fiancée.

She was feeling distressed and didn't know what to say, so she could only offer her blessings to Fang Ling in her heart.

The Black Cat Soul Saint's unspoken words of recruitment thus vanished without a trace.

Forcing potential through life-or-death battles might work, but it's not a long-term solution.

The human body has its limits; the slightest negligence can lead to death.

Moreover, these ascetics, with their unwavering resolve, fearlessness of death, and single-minded dedication to cultivating themselves and shining their own light, possess hearts of stone and are extremely difficult to control. Recruiting them would be counterproductive; let's forget about it.

Of course, they didn't let Fang Ling leave just like that.

It's not about getting rid of him, but about hunting souls together.

Aside from the fact that his injuries hadn't healed and his martial spirit hadn't recovered, making the Star Dou Great Forest quite dangerous.

Most importantly, the news of the Star Luo royal princess's involvement in the Soul Hunt must not be allowed to spread.

Just like when Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo led their team to hunt Xiao Wu, Tang San broke in, and the reason they wouldn't let Fang Ling leave was the same.

What if our secret hunting mission is discovered and we let the person go? What if something goes wrong?

How could a dignified Soul Saint not be able to control a level 20-something Soul Master who can understand things clearly?

Three days later, the Soul Hunt ended, and Fang Ling went with them to the Star Luo Empire.

Nothing unusual happened.

What Zhu Zhuqing could think of, Fang Ling could naturally think of as well.

The news did not leak out, and the two tacitly pretended it didn't exist.

There was no further communication afterward, and that brief contact was like a fleeting dance, not attracting any objections from others.

Considering the bad luck he'd had these past few days, and to avoid encountering any more invincible thousand-year-old soul beasts, Fang Ling chose to first leave the Star Dou Great Forest with them, and then detour back to Tian Dou via the Star Luo Empire.

Luck can't always be this good, can it?

Although he was almost killed by the giant multi-legged dragon, he was eventually rescued and encountered Zhu Zhuqing, who could cause his martial soul to tremble.

So you could say I was lucky... right?

Following the proper channels, Fang Ling traveled for two or three days, covering hundreds of kilometers, and finally returned to the Soul Hunter Town he had previously visited.

Arriving at the hotel where he had stayed during his previous rest period, he found his teacher waiting there, his expression somewhat numb, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

He strode closer, waving his arms and shouting, "Teacher~ I'm back!"

"?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Lin Tianyang's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly sprang up from his chair.

His eyes widened as he looked at the newcomer, his face beaming with indescribable joy. He excitedly hugged him, exclaiming, "I knew you wouldn't get trapped in the Star Dou Great Forest so easily!"

He practically roared these words, slapping Fang Ling's back hard, unable to contain his excitement.

The other students had already returned to the academy, but Fang Ling, the strongest among them, had not yet returned.

As time slowly passed, the chances of survival dwindled.

I thought something terrible had happened.

Waiting here, I didn't have much hope, but I never expected to actually come back alive!

Fang Ling hugged Lin Tianyang back: "I'm sorry, I made you worry, teacher."

"What are you sorry for? It's good that you came back alive." Lin Tianyang smiled, feeling only relief.

"Come on, I'll take you back to the academy. Your master and mistress are still waiting for you there."

"This time, your father said he wants to give you a surprise. Considering the path you're going to take, he's prepared to use his family connections to get you into a very good academy, where you'll find the perfect teammates."

"Then tell me properly, what trouble happened that made you come out so late?"

If it took so many days for Fang Ling, who had obtained a second spirit ring and become even more powerful, to return, something must have gone wrong.

"I guess I'm just unlucky."

Fang Ling gave a bitter laugh.

As they walked, he recounted the events of his journey.

"At first, I encountered a thousand-year-old one-eyed giant antelope..."
