In the audience, Hu Liena watched Lin Mo's departing figure, a hint of joy and a subtle, almost Frisk, adoration flashing in her eyes.
She has been in the Slaughter City for more than half a year.
In the past six months, she has achieved twenty-five victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena, earning her the title of " Hell Messenger ".
For her age and level of cultivation, this achievement is quite remarkable.
But compared to the Blood Asura, it pales in comparison.
It can be said that Hu Liena personally attended every single one of Lin Mo's matches over the past six months.
At first, it was just out of curiosity, wanting to see what was so special about this suddenly rising mysterious powerhouse.
But the more matches she watched, the deeper her understanding of Blood Asura became.
After a long period of observation, Hu Liena became certain of one thing— Blood Asura was not a purely corrupted being.
Unlike other fallen ones who indulged in the decadent life of the Slaughter City, he never participated in those chaotic pleasures, nor did he associate much with other fallen ones.
Most of the time, he stayed in his stone house to cultivate, and only occasionally came out to participate in a competition.
Although his eyes were filled with boundless bloodlust, they were not as insane as those of the other fallen ones.
This made Hu Liena secretly determined to win over this Blood Asura to walk the Hell Road with her in the future.
After her experiences in the Slaughter City, Hu Liena realized one fact:
The teacher is right; it is extremely difficult to get through the Hell Road on your own.
Leaving aside the Hell Road, which is far more dangerous than the Hell Slaughter Arena, the Hell Slaughter Arena itself is already putting considerable pressure on her.
This was undoubtedly telling her very clearly: going through this alone would be a perilous journey with a slim chance of survival.
However, if we could cooperate with this Blood Asura, the chances of success would be much greater.
Hu Liena felt her cheeks burning slightly and felt a little flustered.
She didn't know why she felt this way, but every time she saw Blood Asura fighting, her heart would involuntarily race.
Young girls always admire strength.
She was no exception.
The Blood Asura's formidable strength and his unusual clarity of mind, so different from his surroundings, both won her favor.
At first, the terrifying blood energy that erupted from Lin Mo made Hu Liena think that she had misjudged the situation.
She almost mistook Blood Asura for a pure fallen being.
After all, only those who have been immersed in killing for a long time can possess such a strong aura of bloodlust.
However, after observing Blood Asura's life in the Slaughter City, Hu Liena was certain that this young powerhouse with an astonishing aura of blood was not a Fallen One, but simply came here to train.
Unlike other fallen individuals who chose to indulge in the decadent life here, he continued his normal cultivation practices.
It was precisely because of this long period of observation that she unknowingly fell in love.
Hu Liena took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
Hu Liena stood up, took one last look in the direction Lin Mo had left, and turned to leave the audience.
She was absolutely certain that this Blood Asura was not old at all.
Judging from her appearance, she's probably around the same age as me, around twenty years old.
Moreover, his talent is indeed extremely amazing.
Judging from the Soul Power fluctuations emanating from him, this young Blood Asura undoubtedly already possesses the cultivation level of Soul Emperor.
Such talent, let alone in this small Slaughter City, would place him among the top tier on the entire continent.
Second only to Lin Mo, whom she had once met.
Thinking of Lin Mo, Hu Liena felt a complex mix of emotions.
What is that boy who swept the entire Soul Master Tournament doing now?
Are you also diligently training somewhere, and how much have you improved your strength?
Hu Liena shook her head, banishing these distracting thoughts from her mind.
What she needs to do now is to strive for a hundred victories as soon as possible, and then persuade Blood Asura to cooperate with her and venture into Hell Road together.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo, who was in his own stone house, naturally had no idea what Hu Liena was thinking.
However, he noticed Hu Liena's observations of him.
For the past six months, that beam of light has appeared in almost every match.
From initial curiosity to later focus, and recently it seems there's something else going on.
Lin Mo wasn't stupid; he could sense the change in Hu Liena's attitude towards him.
But he didn't pay much attention to it.
The appearance of Hu Liena means that the plan to cooperate with Hu Liena and walk the Hell Road together is likely feasible.
That's the key point.
Lin Mo sat cross-legged on the stone bed and began to take stock of his Harvest during his time in the Slaughter City.
First, let's consider Soul Power.
Because Charizard had already condensed Fire-type Soul Core, his cultivation speed had increased considerably.
Even in a harsh environment Slaughter City, the speed of Soul Power cultivation was somewhat affected.
However, after a year of arduous training, his Soul Power Level still rose from level 65 to level 68.
Lin Mo estimated that, at the current pace, his Soul Power should reach level 70 in about six months.
Level 70, Soul Saint.
At that time, his strength will experience a qualitative leap.
Secondly, there are Harvest in terms of Qi and blood.
The Slaughter City had accumulated a thousand years of Bloodline Power, making it an ideal place for him to cultivate.
Over the course of that year, he continuously absorbed and refined the surrounding vital energy through the Scarlet Blood Heart, Harvest considerable rewards.
Nourished by a massive amount of Bloodline Power, the Scarlet Blood Heart's grade was greatly improved, even surpassing its own External Soul Bone, the Scarlet Phoenix Wings.
However, Lin Mo also noticed that the rate at which the Scarlet Blood Heart was improving was slowing down.
When I first started absorbing the Bloodline Power, the quality improved very quickly, and I could feel significant progress almost every month.
However, the further you progress, the more Qi and Blood you need to improve, and the slower the progress becomes.
The fact that the improvement is getting slower and slower shows that it will take a long time to raise the Scarlet Blood Heart to the level of 100,000 years by taking advantage of the local energy.
The difficulty of transforming External Soul Bone into a 100,000-year-old Soul Bone is no less than the difficulty of Soul Beast becoming Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
One hundred thousand years is a qualitative leap for Soul Ring, Soul Bone, and Soul Beast alike.
Although the blood and energy of the Slaughter City are abundant, it will still take an extremely long time to achieve success in one fell swoop.
But this is not a big deal.
The path of cultivation is inherently a slow and gradual process.
He has plenty of patience.
The next step is to return to normal life and spiritual practice.
As for Hu Liena —let's wait for her to come to us.
Given Hu Liena's personality, once she's certain she's not a fallen one, she'll likely try to reach out to me and ask for my cooperation.
It's not too late to discuss terms later.
Lin Mo closed his eyes and continued cultivating, circulating his Soul Power.
