Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 101: Battle against Sword Maniac Ji Juechen

"Meng! What nonsense are you talking about? You can't just talk about such things casually."

When Xiao Hongchen heard her words, his originally puzzled face instantly turned redder and he couldn't help but yelled angrily.

Jing Hongchen laughed indifferently:
"Don't be impatient, brat. I think Xiao Meng was just too excited and said something out of turn. Lin Dong didn't say anything, so why are you so excited?"

Xiao Hongchen didn't react for a moment. No, what was he talking about? Can't grandpa see that something is wrong with Meng? He was about to open his mouth to refute, but after seeing the look in Jing Hongchen's direction, he could only shut his mouth in disappointment.

Lin Dong gently patted the bare hand off his arm and said calmly:

"Let me introduce you first. I just helped you condense the energy seed. This thing can make the soul power more condensed. Moreover, from today on, you can absorb soul power to improve your realm. You don't need to obtain soul rings to break through."

Meng Hongchen's excited smile froze on her face in an instant. What Lin Dong said had broken her cognition. Even Jing Hongchen and the other person beside her were stunned on the spot.

After the room fell into a dead silence, Jing Hongchen spoke excitedly:
“Lin Dong, what you said… is it true? Do you really not need to obtain spirit rings to continue to break through the realm?”

Lin Dong smiled faintly and said jokingly: "Dean, we agreed not to question anymore, why are you starting again?"

Jing Hongchen's face turned red, and he coughed lightly in embarrassment:
"Isn't this too unbelievable? I couldn't help myself. Please explain this magical thing to us in detail."

Lin Dong smiled and said calmly: "This new energy is more condensed than soul power, and it cancels the setting that you must obtain soul rings to improve your realm."

"What about the spirit skills? Can they still be used normally?"

Stared at by Meng Hongchen's excited eyes, Lin Dong nodded, and then he realized that the force seeds here seemed to no longer be simple force, but force with attributes.

Although Meng Hongchen's method of cultivation has not changed and he still absorbs soul power into his body, after the soul power enters his body, it will be compressed and condensed into a higher level of special elemental power.

(ps: This is a second setting, somewhat inclined to the elemental force with attributes, a bit similar to low-level fighting spirit?)
Then he looked at her and nodded gently: "Yes, and if nothing unexpected happens, the power of your soul skills will also be greatly improved."

Meng Hongchen blinked her big eyes, and the blush on her cheeks was not sure whether it was due to excitement or something else. She said blankly:
"Then can our cultivation speed be accelerated?"

After a brief thought, Lin Dong replied calmly, “I’m afraid not. The energy of heaven and earth is still soul power. The speed of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth has not been improved for you. It’s just that the energy in your body is more condensed. This also means that you will have a great advantage in a battle of the same level.”

Of course, this cultivation speed did not speed up for them, but it was different for Lin Dong. Although he had a special physique, Lin Dong, who possessed the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, naturally cultivated much faster than them.

His energy seed is still somewhat special at the moment, possessing four different properties, which may help him make some innovations in martial arts.

Meng Hongchen said "oh" and stuck out her tongue playfully: "Well, thank you so much this time. Just the fact that I can still improve my realm without obtaining spirit rings means that the pain I just suffered was not in vain."

Lin Dong nodded calmly, "As long as it succeeds, then let's convert Xiao Hongchen?"

Xiao Hongchen nodded impatiently: "No problem! This genius transformation must be much easier than a dream."

Lin Dong looked at him and shook his head: "Not necessarily. Your current soul power level is much higher than hers. The higher the realm, the more difficult it is to transform. Didn't you notice that when I was helping Miss Meng transform just now, it seemed quite reluctant?"

Xiao Hongchen scratched his head awkwardly: "Don't worry, I will try my best to cooperate with you. As long as I have a breath left, I will never stop."

When Meng Hongchen heard his words, she looked at the two of them with a very strange look, and she inadvertently thought of the comics in the room.

Lin Dong looked at Xiao Hongchen and coughed lightly: "Let's get started. The pain you've experienced should be much greater than that of Miss Meng. When the time comes, you can only rely on yourself to get through it. No one can help you."

After Lin Dong received the soul power that he released voluntarily, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Xiao Hongchen's soul power seemed to be a little more condensed than Meng Hongchen's.

It seems that he usually consciously compresses his soul power, but without the help of the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, he can only compress it to this extent.

Meng Hongchen accurately caught Lin Dong's surprised look and said jokingly:

"Don't be fooled by this guy who keeps saying he's a genius. In fact, he spends almost as much time in the training room as you, a training maniac. Especially after the competition, he also learned to take beatings to strengthen his body, and he has become even more diligent."

Lin Dong nodded calmly after hearing this, but there was still a bit more admiration in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Hongchen. It seemed that the last incident had dealt a heavy blow to everyone.
“Meng! You’ll die if you don’t expose your brother’s trick. Stop talking nonsense here. My cultivation has nothing to do with Lin Dong.”

Xiao Hongchen's slightly embarrassed and annoyed voice came out, and Lin Dong said calmly: "Be quiet."

Meng Hongchen pursed his lips embarrassedly, and Xiao Hongchen calmed down instantly and stopped arguing.

It took Lin Dong six full hours to drain Xiao Hongchen dry this time, and he finally completely emptied his soul power. At this time, Lin Dong's fingertips were trembling slightly. Controlling the Devouring Ancestral Talisman to receive such a large amount of soul power was undoubtedly a huge burden for him.

Lin Dong thought for a moment, took out the Qingling Anhun Orchid and swallowed it. His pupils suddenly widened, he let out a long breath, and the soul rings under his feet lit up. Mental detection and shared soul skills were activated, continuously injecting compressed energy into Xiao Hongchen's body.

Meng Hongchen looked at the familiar scene in front of her, her long eyelashes flickering up and down, like a quiet kitten, sitting quietly on the edge of the bed with her face in her hands. She noticed the beads of sweat falling from Lin Dong's cheek, hesitated for a moment, and then stood up quietly.

Lin Dong felt a cool breeze on his face. Looking at the handkerchief with a pink bow in front of him, Lin Dong's face twitched: "Miss Meng, what are you doing?"

"Wipe the sweat."

The girl's righteous tone actually made Lin Dong unable to get angry, so he could only say calmly: "No thanks, Miss Meng."

Meng Hongchen snorted: "If you don't need it, then don't use it. It's already been wiped off anyway."

Jing Hongchen looked at the sudden situation in front of him and felt an indescribable complex feeling in his heart for a moment. He always felt that his granddaughter was in unrequited love.

Under Lin Dong's operation, the soul power condensed by the ancestral talisman has completely flowed into Xiao Hongchen's body. At this time, the latter's face has already become hideous, veins bulging on his forehead, and his gorgeous robe has been soaked with sweat. He looks like he is in extreme pain.

Lin Dong was helpless about this. He looked at Jing Hongchen who had a worried look on his face and nodded, indicating that there was no need to be too nervous. All he could do now was to wait.

After a while, Xiao Hongchen's expression eased a lot, and he shouted excitedly:

"Success! This genius succeeded, hahahaha! This genius is truly a child of destiny, blessed by the King of Gods!"

Noticing the contemptuous looks from the three people, he realized that he seemed to be a little too excited. He blushed and hummed twice, looking at Lin Dong with a weird smile: "Lin Dong, I am going to fall in love with you too."

Seeing his frivolous expression, Lin Dong's eyebrows jumped a few times: "Oh, I'll wait for you at the training ground?"

Xiao Hongchen looked at the dangerous murderous look in his eyes, then waved his hands in embarrassment and said, "Forget it, forget it. I have just completed the conversion. Do you think everyone is a perpetual motion machine like you?"

Lin Dong was reminded by his words. Feeling the abundant energy after the ancestral talisman entered his body, he hurriedly sat cross-legged on the ground and began to practice.
Although he did not deliberately withhold the energy of the two, they had already reached the strength of Soul King after all. The energy left behind during the operation of the ancestral talisman alone was already a considerable gain for Lin Dong.

After spending nearly an hour, Lin Dong finally absorbed all the energy left by the two. His soul power level jumped two levels, and he was already very close to the late stage of the Earthly Realm.

This was equivalent to directly saving him three months of hard training time. He had originally wanted to make a contribution to the two of them, but he didn't expect that he would accidentally get a considerable benefit. This made Lin Dong feel better unconsciously.

When he opened his eyes with some joy, Meng Hongchen was staring at him: "Jumping two levels? Pervert!"

Lin Dong pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly: "It was an accident, I accidentally got some benefits."

Xiao Hongchen couldn't help himself and muttered in frustration, "Oh oh oh, what a surprise! You're a pervert! The last time we saw you at the auction, you were only level 33. Now that I've calculated carefully, it's only been two months since the competition ended, and you've already leveled up five times?! Damn!"

Seeing his frustrated look, Lin Dong narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Why don't you ask Senior Hongchen to check the results of my training?"

"Forget it. I don't want to fight with a pervert like you. I still want to enjoy my graduation party."

Lin Dong didn't bother with him too much. He turned to look at Jing Hongchen who was smiling, and asked in confusion: "Uh, Dean, what are you doing?"

"Haha, I also want you to help me convert it."

Seeing Jing Hongchen's face full of desire for power, Lin Dong sighed helplessly:
"I'm sorry, Dean. I've just said that helping Xiao Hongchen transform is already my current limit. Your realm is too high. I can't help you for the time being."

Jing Hongchen's eyes showed a disappointment that was hard to conceal: "Well, in that case, then I won't force you. What are the specific requirements for your magical technique?"

Lin Dong thought for a moment and replied, "The realm is between Soul King and Soul Emperor. The physical strength must be above the test, at least not lower than one's own realm, and one must be able to endure the pain."

Jing Hongchen nodded. Currently, the people in the academy who met Lin Dong’s requirements and had a good relationship with him were Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Mika Linxi.

Meng Hongchen noticed the fatigue in Lin Dong's eyes and reminded him softly, "Grandpa, it's almost midnight. We should go back."

Lin Dong looked at her and nodded: "Then I'll take you out, Dean."

Xiao Hongchen glanced at the two of them with a puzzled look. When did the two of them start communicating? After seeing Jing Hongchen's signal, he could only dispel his doubts, and stood behind Meng Hongchen warily, glancing at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong didn't care. He sent them out calmly and fell asleep on the bed.
Early in the morning, Lin Dong was awakened by a knock on the door. Xiao Hongchen stood at the door with an excited look on his face and said with a smile:

"Don't you like fighting? I'll introduce you to someone and you two can have a good fight."

Lin Dong was dragged to the training ground in a daze. Meng Hongchen, with a playful look on his face, was already waiting there, and next to him were the familiar Micah and others.

After briefly greeting a few people, Lin Dong discovered that they didn't know that he helped Xiao Hongchen and his sister convert their soul power, probably to prevent a gap between Lin Dong and the other team members.

Lin Dong turned his gaze to the stern young man standing beside him. He looked to be around 25 or 26 years old, with long black hair simply tied behind his head with a headband.

His face looked unhealthily pale, but it still couldn't hide his handsome face. However, his eyes seemed lifeless and even his walking movements seemed a little slow.

After seeing Xiao Hongchen and Lin Dong, a smile broke out on his cold face:
"Is this the cultivation maniac you mentioned? Level 35 Soul Master? This realm is quite suitable for his age. I only have one challenge opportunity a month, so don't make fun of me."

Xiao Hongchen waved his hand carelessly: "Don't worry, Old Ji, Lin Dong's fighting skills will satisfy you."

Ji Juechen's eyes flickered with suspicion. He looked at Lin Dong and smiled: "Ji Juechen."

"Lin Dong."

On the way here, Lin Dong had already heard Xiao Hongchen talk about his deeds. Lin Dong had met many people who were willing to walk a single path and give up everything for it, such as Uncle Wudao and... Ling Qingzhu.

I don't know if she and Xiao Diao have been affected by the turbulence of time and space, but with my current strength, I can't intervene in these things for the time being...

Looking at his dazed look, Meng Hongchen pouted: "What are you doing? Can you respect others? He wants to fight with you."

Lin Dong nodded and responded, smiling awkwardly: "Well, I understand, let's start."

There was a flash of surprise in Ji Juechen's eyes. This guy looked so calm. Could it be that he could really let him have fun?
A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he clenched the long sword in his hand. It was about four feet long and dark black. The long sword was simple in style, with no special features, and even looked a bit like a fire stick.

The two stepped onto the stage under the gaze of the crowd. Lin Dong glanced at Ji Juechen, who could hardly hide his excitement, with a hint of fighting spirit surging in his eyes.

He always believed that only through actual combat could he improve his strength to the maximum extent. Lin Dong tapped his toes lightly and rushed forward.

There was a sharp flash in Ji Juechen's eyes, six soul rings emerged, and an extremely sharp aura burst out from him almost instantly.

At this moment, his entire body seemed to have merged with his meteorite sword. With the infusion of his powerful soul power, the meteorite sword began to emit a slight hum, and the tip of the sword seemed to be shaking slightly.

His momentum was also rising at an alarming speed. If he didn't strike this sword, it would be fine, but once he struck it, it would surely change the world's color.

Lin Dong did not show any fear in his eyes. The Silent Dragon Lightning Spear flashed in his hand, and the crackling power of thunder roared as he rushed forward against Ji Juechen...

Micah looked at this somewhat familiar weapon and couldn't help but shout out:

"Hey, isn't this my homework?!"
