Chapter 19: If Shrek Suffers a Loss, Just Take It!
Following Lin Sheng's reminder, Du Busi finally reined in his incredibly shocked expression, stepped forward, and began to carefully observe Lin Sheng's fourth spirit ring.
"Hmm? This... spirit ring..." Du Busi's pupils contracted slightly.
Although on the surface, Lin Sheng's fourth spirit ring looked like nothing more than an ordinary ten-year spirit ring.
It was unremarkable.
The kind that would make anyone who saw it laugh their heads off!
However, with his strength as a level 98 Super Douluo, he was naturally able to discern some clues.
This included...
"At first glance, this spirit ring is indeed a ten-year spirit ring, but it contains a special, sacred aura."
"And there is a faint, flickering golden color..."
Du Busi understood in his heart; it seemed that Lin Sheng's fourth spirit ring was not just any ten-year spirit ring found everywhere on the street.
"Lin Sheng, this spirit ring of yours..." Du Busi gazed eagerly at Lin Sheng, desperate to know.
"I had some fortuitous encounters, so this one of mine is not actually a ten-year spirit ring." Lin Sheng said with a smile on his lips.
Du Busi nodded, his mood seemingly improving by more than half instantly. He did not ask further; Lin Sheng's aura was vigorous and solid.
It did not look like a case of unstable spirit power caused by absorbing an inferior spirit ring, and furthermore...
He trusted Lin Sheng's judgment!
"Fine, it seems you brat have had some fortuitous encounters, so I won't ask any more. Your fourth spirit ring is indeed quite unique..." Du Busi scrutinized the white-gold fourth spirit ring.
Within the sea of mental force.
Tianmeng Iceworm's voice carried a hint of disdain, yet also a touch of surprise: "Didn't expect this, this human is quite capable."
"He was actually able to see that Brother's spirit ring is not simple."
Lin Sheng was speechless.
With Du Busi's strength, was it really that hard to tell?!
After a pause, Lin Sheng finally told Du Busi about his plans for the near future. He told Du Busi.
"Although I have obtained my fourth spirit ring."
"The second evolution of my Body Martial Soul hasn't begun yet, so I want to go into seclusion for a period of time."
Upon hearing this, Du Busi let out a long sigh.
"Regarding this matter..."
"I cannot help you either. The second evolution of a Body Martial Soul requires your own realization; I can only provide you with some experience."
Du Busi did not believe that Lin Sheng lacked the talent.
In these short few years...
The achievements Lin Sheng had attained today were simply the most outstanding of the younger generation that Du Busi had seen in years!
In the future, he could even become a Limit Douluo.
What he hoped for was that Lin Sheng would rely on his own realization.
"Hmm..."
Lin Sheng nodded. The only doubt remaining in his heart was whether the Sharingan could truly undergo a second evolution.
Or perhaps...
Could the evolution from Three-Tomoe Sharingan to Mangekyo Sharingan actually count as the second evolution of the Sharingan as a Body Martial Soul?
"Doesn't that mean my second evolution is only halfway through?" Lin Sheng's tone carried a hint of peculiarity. After all, currently only the Sharingan in his right eye had evolved into a Mangekyo Sharingan!
Carrying his doubts, Lin Sheng bade farewell to Du Busi.
...
Nighttime.
Behind the Body Sect mountain.
"Hum..."
Lin Sheng's eyes were tightly shut, yet from them flowed a blood-red light that appeared incredibly distinct against the night sky.
This light seemed to possess life.
It flowed endlessly in the space, outlining the special shape of the Sharingan, and continued to flow, transforming into different shapes!
"Lin Sheng, have you noticed?"
At this moment, Tianmeng Iceworm's voice suddenly came from within the sea of mental force.
"What?"
Lin Sheng asked.
"I cannot even sense the existence of any ice attribute within your sea of mental force; even if it cannot be manifested at the moment, there shouldn't be absolutely no aura at all, right?"
Tianmeng Iceworm's tone carried a hint of dejection.
Lin Sheng's figure immediately appeared within the sea of mental force.
He patted the plump body of the Tianmeng Iceworm in front of him.
"I have been thinking about this matter too; perhaps you are unable to add a second Spirit slot for me." Lin Sheng said tentatively.
"What?!"
Tianmeng Iceworm instantly bristled.
How could this be allowed?
Without an ice-attribute second Spirit, how was he supposed to woo his Bingbing?
"Wuwuwu, don't want that..."
"Without Bingbing, even if I become a god, it's meaningless!"
Tianmeng Iceworm's little schemes.
Although these were thought in his heart, Lin Sheng guessed what this guy was thinking at a glance.
Whether the ice attribute still existed was currently an unknown for him as well; the Sharingan might have completely assimilated it.
A moment later.
Lin Sheng suddenly lifted his eyes, and the Sharingan condensed an illusion, which seemed to make the intangible illusion space burn.
"Boom—!"
In that intangible space, flames that appeared somewhat blood-colored suddenly rose and condensed at this moment.
The space in front of Lin Sheng also twisted accordingly.
He was unleashing his Sharingan ocular technique, using his mental force to present an illusory form of spatial refraction; it appeared intangible, yet it possessed a certain surging lethality.
"Sharingan ocular technique..."
"Mangekyo..."
While lost in thought, Lin Sheng couldn't help but think of those few most terrifying illusions that could only be unleashed with the Mangekyo Sharingan.
However, the price was also extremely heavy.
After use, it was often accompanied by blindness!
"Judging by the fact that my right eye has already evolved into a Mangekyo Sharingan, I should also possess the ability to unleash those ocular techniques." Lin Sheng said to himself.
That could perhaps be called his most powerful trump card.
"Lin Sheng!"
Just then, a cold, clear voice suddenly came from behind. Lin Sheng turned back and saw it was Princess Vina.
"What is it, Vina?"
Lin Sheng asked.
"People from Shrek have arrived. I heard the leader is Xuan Zi, the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion. He says... you beat the Sea God Pavilion Master's great-grandson into critical condition, and his Spirit nearly shattered."
Princess Vina briefly informed Lin Sheng of the situation.
"Xuan Zi!"
A flash of extreme violent emotion surged into Lin Sheng's eyes, and a cold hatred erupted from within his body.
"..."
This was the first time Princess Vina had seen Lin Sheng reveal such an emotion.
She was immediately startled.
Although Lin Sheng usually didn't like to talk, he was gentle with others; how could he reveal such an emotion?!
"Lin Sheng, are you okay?"
Princess Vina asked softly.
"I'm fine."
Lin Sheng strode forward.
"Hey! Wait, the Sect Master said you don't have to go... Hey, wait for me!"
Princess Vina couldn't stop Lin Sheng.
...
Outside the Body Sect mountain gate.
Du Busi looked unconcerned, watching Xuan Zi with indifference, and said disdainfully: "Xuan Zi, your Shrek people's skills are inferior."
"Having been beaten, you should just take the loss!"
"What, do you still want to settle scores with me?!"
Du Busi was not afraid of Xuan Zi at all.
If they really fought, even if Xuan Zi could hold out for a moment, in the end, he would absolutely not be a match for Du Busi.
He hit him, so what? What can you do about it?!
