Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 13 Lin Dong’s Plan

"Dean Hongchen, can I go to the Soul Guidance Department and the Martial Soul Department to experience them for a while before deciding which department to join?"

The hesitation on Jing Hongchen's face disappeared instantly, and he nodded heavily subconsciously:
"No problem, I'll do as you say! But can I ask what made you change your mind?"

Lin Dong hesitated for a moment before nodding and responding:

"Then I'll be frank. Please don't mind. Because in the battle just now, I noticed that classmate didn't seem to be very good at fighting with his martial spirit."

Although Lin Dong's last sentence was said very tactfully, everyone present could hear that he was saying that Zhou Xinghao's soul power level was inconsistent with his combat ability!

Zhou Xinghao's expression changed, but after seeing his calm face, he could only lower his head dejectedly, because the other person was not mocking him at all, he was just telling the truth!
This is not just a problem for Zhou Xinghao alone. Most soul engineers have this shortcoming. Once they are approached by an enemy, they can only hope for the invincible shield. There is no other way.

Jing Hongchen also understood the hidden meaning of Lin Dong's words and nodded to him with some embarrassment:
"You are right. The academy's research on martial spirits is indeed quite lacking. Even the martial spirit department was only established in the past two years. Alas, it is called a martial spirit department, but in fact it is just a martial spirit class.

Only a small number of students who have no talent for soul guides are accepted. I was eager to agree to this competition with you just to keep you here first. Please don't hold a grudge because of this."

Looking at Lin Dong who was lost in thought, Jing Hongchen did not make a sound to disturb him. He knew that Lin Dong had a mature mind and should be taking time to think now.

Thinking that he might go back on his word, Jing Hongchen felt a little embarrassed unconsciously, and his two rough palms actually looked a little bloodier due to the vigorous rubbing.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Dong looked at him in surprise. This old man who seemed to be of a very high status could actually do so much for him.

I looked at him with some admiration and said solemnly:
"Master Hongchen has put so much thought into me, so I will just join the Soul Guidance Department directly."

Hearing Lin Dong's words, Jing Hongchen was stunned at first. He had already prepared for Lin Dong to quit and leave, but he didn't expect that he would actually join the Soul Guidance Department!

Jing Hongchen's slightly nervous face became visibly excited. He quickly took a step forward and patted Lin Dong on the shoulder:

"Okay, okay! I promise you that I will use all my resources to train you into the most perfect soul guide and will never waste your precious talent!"

"Thank you, Dean." Although Lin Dong agreed so readily, he was not simply moved by Jing Hongchen's attitude, he had his own considerations.

After the battle just now, he found that the Soul Guide Academy was really weak in the research on the combat capabilities of martial spirits. He could only see if this soul guide device could surprise him.

To be honest, the fact that Sun and Moon can provide him with the opportunity to grow peacefully and the vast resources for cultivation are enough for Lin Dong to stay here.

As for the soul guide device, he would have to understand it first before he knew whether it could be comparable to Tianxuan's refining device.

Judging from that guy's performance just now, this soul guide still has major flaws in combat.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen on the stage were completely dumbfounded at this moment. It was the first time they saw Jing Hongchen's reaction like this. Is Lin Dong really worthy of his grandfather's treatment?
Although Meng Hongchen was surprised, he also knew that this was a good opportunity to provoke his brother, so he said in a frivolous tone:

"This is the first time I've seen a grandfather treat a student like this."

Xiao Hongchen's eyelids twitched, and he said arrogantly, "So what? I was already a Soul Master when I was eleven years old. I don't think he is my opponent."

Meng Hongchen seemed to enjoy watching her brother's stubbornness, and a sly smile appeared on her face: "That's not necessarily true. He was only level 16 and could easily defeat a level 30 Soul Master. It seems that you didn't have the ability at that time, or it wasn't that easy, right?"

As if a sore spot had been touched, Xiao Hongchen's mouth twitched inadvertently and he snorted:
"No one challenged me at that time, how would I know! You are so annoying, Meng, do you really want to see me defeated by others?"

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Meng Hongchen stuck out her tongue playfully and stopped talking to Xiao Hongchen.

Jing Hongchen on the stage coughed several times due to excitement. He looked at the teacher beside him and instructed:
"Go, call Xuan Ziwen over here and tell him I found him a great treasure."

After that person left, Jing Hongchen looked at Lin Dong and laughed dryly:
“Lin Dong, I should teach you personally, but I am really busy. Don’t worry, Xuan Ziwen is the youngest eighth-level soul instructor in our academy. His research on soul guides will definitely give you the best help in the early stages.”

"I understand. After all, I have just come into contact with soul guides. The knowledge of an eighth-level soul guide is enough for me to learn. Thank you for your concern, Dean."

Seeing that Lin Dong was so sensible, Jing Hongchen looked at him and nodded with a smile. With such talent and character, he already regarded Lin Dong as a future top soul mentor.

After waiting for a while, the teacher who had just left came back, followed by a middle-aged man in his thirties.

He was wearing a white coat and a pair of glasses, and seemed to be in such a hurry to get on the road that he didn't even have time to take off his gloves.

Lin Dong glanced at him indifferently, thinking that this must be the teacher that Jing Hongchen mentioned, who was responsible for teaching him how to use soul guides.

Xuan Ziwen stepped forward excitedly, looked at Jing Hongchen and said:
"Dean Hongchen, where is the student you mentioned? Let me see him."

Jing Hongchen was also very happy at this time. He pointed at the calm Lin Dong beside him with a smile and replied softly:
"Teacher Gao has already told you, this little fellow's soul skills should be considered a treasure for you who are obsessed with the research of soul guides."

Xuan Ziwen nodded upon hearing this, looked at Lin Dong anxiously and said:

"Hello, my name is Xuan Ziwen, could you please show me your soul skills?"

Lin Dong nodded and activated the two soul skills of spiritual detection and sharing at the same time. After a moment, Xuan Ziwen's eyes turned slightly red due to excitement. He stepped forward and excitedly shook Lin Dong's hand:

"Don't worry, I will do my best to train you to be the best soul guide in history!"

Lin Dong glanced at Xuan Ziwen, who looked serious, then pulled his hand back and whispered, "Thank you, teacher."

Xuan Ziwen said to Jing Hongchen impatiently, "Dean Hongchen, should I take him away first? Time waits for no one!"

Looking at this pair of guys who were obsessed with soul guides, Jing Hongchen nodded helplessly, turned to look at Lin Dong and said:

“Lin Dong, his training intensity may be very high. You don’t have to force yourself. With the protection of the academy, you don’t have to rush to become stronger. Just don’t damage your foundation.”

Lin Dong was slightly touched after hearing this, and gave him a kind smile: "Thank you, Dean Hongchen, for reminding me. I will pay attention to it."

After saying that, he followed Xuan Ziwen and left, leaving only Jing Hongchen, who was smiling, and Meng Hongchen, who was looking at each other in bewilderment, standing there in a daze...
