How did Dou Disciple levels correspond to Soul Power Levels?
Old Medicine immediately recalled something and looked thoughtfully at Lin Xiao.
"Little fellow, in my forty years here, the strongest person I ever saw was a one-star Dou Emperor."
"But that was over thirty years ago. I vaguely remember his whole body glowing a ghostly green when he manifested his Martial Soul."
"As for what level he corresponded to in this world, I can't tell you just yet."
Lin Xiao understood. Old Medicine had never seen a Title Douluo, and even if he had, he would not have known it. He would only have judged them through the lens of Battle Through The Heavens, unable to match the two systems.
But Lin Xiao now knew that Douluo had experts on the level of a Dou Emperor. That piece of information mattered a great deal.
Once he encountered one later, he could have Old Medicine make a comparison and find out what level of Soul Master corresponded to a Dou Emperor.
As for the ghostly green figure his teacher had mentioned, that would be hard to find. There were far too many Soul Masters for Lin Xiao to identify him either.
"Teacher, what about my dad? He's a Soul Elder. What level does that correspond to?"
"And the man who awakened my Martial Soul before-he's a Soul Grandmaster."
Since they could not match up the powerful experts yet, surely Old Medicine knew where these minor figures stood.
"Your dad? In my eyes, he's merely a little fellow at the third stage of Dou Qi."
"As for the man who awakened your Martial Soul, he doesn't even have any Dou Qi."
Old Medicine spoke dismissively. He had seen far too many weaklings like them.
Lin Xiao laughed awkwardly. So his dad was only at the third stage of Dou Qi. Well, that was all right. He had still reached a realm the Flame Emperor himself had once attained.
Weak though he might be, this was a realm the Flame Emperor had reached. That gave it an entirely different value.
Even with Old Medicine's explanation, Lin Xiao still could not work out the correspondence. The range was too broad. He would leave that question for later.
At least he could venture a guess that he would have no problems before reaching Soul Emperor.
"Teacher, going by what you've said, and with you helping suppress it, I should be fine until I reach Soul Emperor."
Lin Xiao spoke after a moment's thought.
"Soul Emperor? It seems that level isn't particularly high."
"Here's the method for converting between the two kinds of energy."
As he spoke, Old Medicine produced another scroll.
Then Old Medicine's voice rang out again. "Little fellow, the Soul Power in this world is very weak. Take you, for example."
"You currently have level-three Soul Power. Of the Soul Power needed to advance from level three to level four, probably less than a tenth can be converted for Dou Disciple cultivation."
"But once your Soul Power Level rises, you'll be able to convert more."
Lin Xiao considered this and nodded. He had known Soul Power was inferior to the energy used in Dou Disciple cultivation, but he had not expected such an enormous gap.
Still, having chosen this path, he would follow it to the end.
"Don't worry, Teacher. This is nothing but a little wind and frost."
Lin Xiao spoke lightly, without the slightest worry. Although the path he had chosen was difficult, it was not impossible.
The strong always had to press forward without looking back.
Seeing Lin Xiao's smug expression, Old Medicine tapped him on the head. "Those are your teacher's lines. How old do you think you are...?"
Old Medicine spoke with a smile. The little fellow might have been putting on airs, but his words were rather good.
Nothing but a little wind and frost. Not bad, not bad. I can use that myself later.
Lin Xiao chuckled.
"All right, here's a High-grade Profound Tier Dou Technique as well. You intend to cultivate a Body Martial Soul."
"Close combat will be unavoidable. Find some time to practice it properly."
Old Medicine yawned as he spoke. "Little fellow, cultivate diligently. If anything happens, don't panic. Your teacher is still here."
When Old Medicine finished, the mist around them gradually gathered toward the ring in Lin Xiao's hand, and Old Medicine entered the ring along with it.
Looking around, Lin Xiao felt as though none of this was real. But the newly appeared Dou Technique in his hand assured him that it all was.
He opened the Dou Technique scroll and saw the large characters written upon it: Eight Extremes Collapse! High-grade Profound Tier Dou Technique!
"Eight Extremes Collapse!!!" Lin Xiao was stunned. Was Old Medicine really this lavish?
He truly held nothing back.
A Body Martial Soul combined with Eight Extremes Collapse-he had this in the bag. If he learned Explode Ring as well, its power would surely climb another level.
Lin Xiao swallowed instinctively. He was all too familiar with Eight Extremes Collapse.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xiao began reading rapidly, soon committing its essential principles to memory.
Only after letting out a long breath did Lin Xiao finally relax completely.
Everything that had happened today was far too incredible. This was not merely stumbling into one stroke of incredible luck. He must have stumbled into several.
Soon, Lin Xiao calmed down.
I'm currently within the Star Luo Empire. I should visit the White Tiger Duke Mansion first and see whether Huo Yuhao is still there.
The only thing worrying Lin Xiao now was the timing.
He did not know where Huo Yuhao was at present, whether he had obtained the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, or whether he had obtained the Holy Necromancer.
If he had not, Lin Xiao could swoop in and claim them first.
Rather than let Tang San reap the benefits later, he might as well reap them himself now.
The moment he thought of Tang San, Lin Xiao remembered his five gold soul coins. Damn you, Tang San!!
The next day.
After getting everything ready, Lin Xiao set out toward the White Tiger Duke Mansion.
Although Lin Xiao knew he would most likely be driven away, all he needed was to learn Huo Yuhao's current situation.
Lin Xiao's home was not particularly far from the White Tiger Duke Mansion. Even allowing for everything, he could reach it in three days on foot.
"Ah, even a hero can be brought low by a single missing penny."
Walking along the road, Lin Xiao could not help sighing. But whenever money crossed his mind, he wanted to kill Tang San.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. No, I have to make that bastard Tang San pay me back someday. Otherwise, I'll let him taste a few more Buddha's Fury Fire Lotuses.
Won't pay? Kill him. Pays up? Kill him anyway!
Three days later, travel-worn and dusty, Lin Xiao arrived on the grounds of the White Tiger Duke Mansion.
He checked the map. This should be the place.
"As expected of an ancient imperial family. What a magnificent estate."
Lin Xiao could not help marveling. The White Tiger Duke Mansion was extravagantly luxurious, and the scent of money hit him all at once.
"Get lost, get lost! Even beggars dare come begging at our White Tiger Duke Mansion now? Scram, or I'll kill you!"
The guard outside raised his spear and cursed furiously at Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao looked down at his clothes. His ordinary commoner's outfit certainly could not compare with the White Tiger Duke Mansion.
Lin Xiao snorted coldly, turned, and left. Once he was out of the guard's sight, he quietly began circling around again.
He observed his surroundings as he felt his way along.
Clonk!
"Ow!"
"That hurt."
Two voices rang out at the same time.
Lin Xiao rubbed his head. Who had he bumped into?
The other person immediately reacted as well, and the two eyed each other warily.
The stranger was dressed even more poorly than Lin Xiao. His hand rested at his waist as though he were about to do something, and he watched Lin Xiao with a wary gaze.
