Chapter 112 The Faith of Golden Crocodile Douluo (Part Two)

After Miguel's persuasion, and given that Golden Crocodile Douluo already had a favorable impression of the Lord of Light, his faith level directly reached the level of a half-step fanatic. After becoming a half-step fanatic, Golden Crocodile Douluo felt a warm current within his body, which then transformed into soul power and merged with his own soul power.

Golden Crocodile Douluo guessed that the warm current he had experienced earlier must have been the so-called divine grace. In Golden Crocodile Douluo's view, with his level of faith, he was not qualified to become a saint. Why would he receive a feedback from his faith? Golden Crocodile Douluo was very curious about this, so he asked, "Miguel, do you know why divine grace descended upon me?"

“Hmm… You are the first Super Douluo within the Spirit Hall to believe in the Lord of Light, so the Lord of Light has specially given you a benefit: for a year, divine grace will descend upon you every day, and you will be offered sacrifices by the Golden Crocodile. Don’t you want this reward? Or should I convey your wishes to the Lord of Light and have this benefit canceled?” Miguel said after pondering for a long time.

"Of course I want it! How could I not want it!" Golden Crocodile Douluo quickly stopped him.

"Alright, don't be so nervous. I was just kidding you when I canceled the benefits before," Miguel said jokingly.

Golden Crocodile Douluo realized that his previous reaction was indeed a bit excessive, but that's only human nature! You know, if he relied solely on his own cultivation, he would need to focus on cultivating for at least two or three hours to reach the level of soul power generated by that warm current.

Thinking of the great benefits the Lord of Light had given him, in an instant, Golden Crocodile Douluo's faith level reached that of a fanatic. Miguel also noticed the change in Golden Crocodile Douluo's faith level. The moment Golden Crocodile Douluo became a fanatic, Miguel congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations to Golden Crocodile Douluo for reaching the level of a fanatic."

"Tongxi, Mig, do you know how to increase your faith level after becoming a fanatic?" Since this was a blind spot for Golden Crocodile Douluo, he asked.

“Hold fast to your faith, constantly refine your soul with faith, and when your soul is completely transformed, you will be a saint,” Miguel explained.

Upon hearing Miguel's words, Golden Crocodile Douluo immediately understood what Miguel meant. After thanking Miguel, Golden Crocodile Douluo began his first attempt. Not long afterward, although Golden Crocodile Douluo's strength did not change much, his mental power improved to a certain extent. This information excited him greatly because achieving a breakthrough in mental power meant that he had a greater chance of breaking through to become a Limit Douluo. After all, if mental power broke through, cultivation would also break through to a certain extent.

The reason why Golden Crocodile Douluo knew the key to breaking through to level 99 was mainly because of Qian Daoliu's teachings. When Qian Daoliu was teaching him, he gave him the example of Tang Chen. Tang Chen encountered no problems when breaking through to Limit Douluo because of his strong spirit. After all, being able to create a secret technique like the Ring Explosion shows that Tang Chen has a strong control over his soul power. Strong control means strong spirit power.

Unfortunately, the cultivation methods in Douluo Continent are too primitive; no one has researched a way to train mental strength. Generally, breakthroughs in cultivation level lead to breakthroughs in mental strength. Although the Spirit Hall has also researched methods for training mental strength, they are useless for a super Douluo like Golden Crocodile Douluo. Therefore, Golden Crocodile Douluo is stuck at level 98 due to his talent and mental strength, unable to make any further progress.

Golden Crocodile Douluo never expected that becoming a fanatical follower of the Lord of Light would not only temper his soul but also enhance his spiritual power. Golden Crocodile Douluo speculated that the Lord of Light might have set this threshold precisely because he knew that fanatical followers could improve their spiritual power during the process of becoming saints.
