Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 183 Ye Xishui's Threat
After seeing Lin Dong, Meng Hongchen’s pale face turned red, and a weak voice mixed with excitement came out from her mouth:

"Lin Dong, you're back now, don't be too impulsive. We're not seriously injured, and they have four Ultimate Douluo."

There was no expression on Lin Dong's icy face, but an invisible murderous aura emanated from him, which made Jing Hongchen feel a little nervous.

“Don’t worry, even if they want to do something wrong, they have to dare to come here,” Lin Dong grinned, revealing a seemingly brilliant smile.

But Jing Hongchen could still clearly see that this guy was really angry.
Xiao Hongchen also woke up under the effect of the elixir. With his white hair and pale face, he looked like a nobleman.

"Why are you back? Those Shrek bastards! Wait until I recover from my injuries. If they dare to come to the competition this time, I will definitely teach them a lesson!"

"Cough, cough, cough!" It seemed that he was too excited and couldn't help but tremble and cough:

"But don't think about going to seek revenge on them alone. Although the two of us are not strong enough, we are not bad among our peers."

Lin Dong's eyes flashed with helplessness. These guys, their stubbornness is a problem. Even at this point, are they still unwilling to change?
She shook her head without leaving a trace, looked at him and said softly: "Okay, I know, let's talk about it when they come over."

Xiao Hongchen forced out a hearty smile, but soon he gritted his teeth and urged because of the pain in his wound:
"Okay, go and do your own thing. There's nothing to watch about the two of us recovering from our injuries."

Jing Hongchen and Lin Dong looked at each other, heard the bravado in his words, smiled, and left the room.

Meng Hongchen looked at the backs of Lin Dong and the other two as they left, his lips twitching but he didn't say anything in the end. Xiao Hongchen only felt a chill on his back, and then he heard a cold voice:

"Will you die if you don't show your strength? It's better to let him stay for a while. We haven't seen each other for three months. Moreover, if Master Kong hadn't appeared in time, we might not have been able to see him."

Hearing the disappointment in his sister's words, Xiao Hongchen's eyes suddenly became much sharper, and his tone was calm and firm:
"What that guy needs is not someone lying on the hospital bed and secretly rejoicing. Moreover, if some words can really be said easily, how could he not tell us anything."

Meng Hongchen looked at Xiao Hongchen with a calm face, and suddenly felt that her somewhat arrogant brother seemed to have become much more mature without her noticing.
After Lin Dong and Jing Hongchen left the ward, they came to the deepest part of Mingde Hall. Jing Hongchen briefly introduced the plan to Lin Dong:
No less than ten level nine soul masters have been mobilized this time, but because the Crown Prince and Long Xiaoyao were injured, the people of the Holy Spirit Church seemed to be planning to reap the benefits.

After all, both of us are just using each other, and no matter which side wins, the Holy Spirit Church will be the ultimate beneficiary.

The most important thing is, you know that crazy woman Ye Xishui is unreliable. She must have already figured out the matter with your rune.

Because your cultivation speed is really too fast to be normal.
I had secretly inquired about you before. If those two bastards hadn't injured Long Xiaoyao, given that crazy woman's temper, she would have found a way to confront Mr. Kong and Your Majesty long ago.

After all, His Majesty must still think that the Holy Spirit Church is more valuable than you now, but don't worry, I will never let them bully you, not to mention that there is Master Kong involved.

Of course, this means that the Holy Spirit Church cannot be fully trusted in this operation, so this operation cannot be considered safe.

After all, we cannot imagine the full strength of the Extreme Douluo, not to mention that there are four of them, so we can only make adequate preparations as much as possible.

The most important problem is that if a conflict occurs on the field, we will probably have to hold the battlefield in Mingdu, which will inevitably cause great casualties to the people of Mingdu.

The casualties of the spectators and the opinions of the people will have a great impact on us. After all, the residual power of the Extreme Douluo confrontation will also have a huge impact on ordinary people.

Seeing Jing Hongchen's troubled look, Lin Dong also realized the severity of the situation. After a little thought, he looked at Jing Hongchen and said softly:

"You're right. How about we not set up the battlefield in the arena and ambush them on their way out?"

"But... once a conflict occurs on the field, it is probably not up to us to decide whether to fight or not."

Lin Dong showed a calm smile and said with great confidence:

"Don't worry, Dean. I will find a way to make it impossible for them to refuse..."

Jing Hongchen looked at his determined eyes and couldn't help but asked doubtfully:
"Looking at your expression, do you have any good ideas?"

After Lin Dong whispered a few words in his ear, Jing Hongchen instantly looked at him with wide eyes, obviously shocked by Lin Dong's plan.

"Is this...really possible? Will they believe what you say?"

Looking at Lin Dong’s calm face, Jing Hongchen opened his mouth slightly and murmured in a low voice.

After seeing Lin Dong nod, Jing Hongchen’s slightly frowned brows slowly relaxed, and he said in a serious tone:
"Then I will tell Mr. Kong about your plan. If we lose this gamble, we might lose the chance to severely damage Shrek... I don't know what Mr. Kong will think. I will try my best to make him believe you."

Lin Dong smiled calmly after hearing this, looked at him and said calmly:

"Then I'll go with you, Dean. I'll be responsible for persuading him then."

Hearing his words, Jing Hongchen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and replied:

"Okay, I'll take you to see Master Kong. Your plan is really bold, and even I can't make the decision."

"Well, let's go then, Dean?"

Lin Dong nodded slightly and walked towards the door while speaking softly. However, Jing Hongchen stopped him at this moment and chuckled:
"Why are you in such a hurry? You are here for a reason. Experimental subject No. 1 has been completely completed. It's time to fulfill my promise and give it to you. This will also prevent any accidents on the field."

After hearing his words, Lin Dong suddenly came back to his senses. After a moment of hesitation, he smiled and replied, “Okay.”

The two of them arrived at the deepest part of the underground. Jing Hongchen just waved his hand, and the researchers bowed to them and hurriedly left the laboratory.

Seeing the metal giant in front of him again, Lin Dong still felt a hint of surprise in his heart, compared to the last time he saw it.

The metal man at this moment is obviously more perfect.
It is over fifteen meters tall, with a pitch-black body that exudes a cold metallic luster.

Its head is a rounded inverted trapezoid, inlaid with a pair of electronic eyes that flash red light. Its body is made up of various solid metal plates. The huge body that flashes with metallic luster is covered with complex patterns and pipes.

Their shoulders were extremely broad, each carrying a huge energy cannon, the muzzle of which flashed a frightening light. Their arms were thick and powerful, and their joints were flexible, allowing them to grab and throw heavy objects with ease.

His legs were like huge pillars, firmly supporting his entire body. One could imagine that the ground would tremble with every step he took.

A huge iron-colored wing extends from its back, and under those huge wings is a pair of huge thrusters that can burst out powerful power in an instant, allowing it to move at an extremely fast speed or perform difficult aerial maneuvers.

A semi-automatic metal door has been installed where the seat is placed in the chest, with a soft cushion placed inside.

Lin Dong used his spirit to detect and scan it, and found that the energy fluctuations on it had reached an extremely terrifying level. It must be because the core formation was relatively complete, and he even detected many formations that he was familiar with on it.

Lin Dong’s eyes narrowed as he noticed his two huge palms. His right hand was half-clenched into a fist, but from his extremely extraordinary reflective luster, Lin Dong could feel the extraordinary material of his arm.

As for the left palm, Lin Dong had noticed that its design was extremely delicate. On the top of its five knuckles, there seemed to be inlaid black protrusions, which must also be a special metal.

As if noticing Lin Dong's gaze, Jing Hongchen chuckled and explained complacently:

"You should have noticed that this robot was tailor-made for you. The bulge on his left palm is made of extremely rare Frostheart Iron Essence."

Lin Dong couldn't help being a little stunned after hearing this. Hanxin Iron Essence is an extremely hard metal, considered to be one of the hardest metals on the continent. It has high strength and toughness, and is an ideal material for making advanced weapons and protective gear.

With such a big fist, the amount of Chilling Iron Essence must have been used without any ambiguity. Jing Hongchen also chuckled and said:
"This Frostheart Iron Essence is very tough. Even if I were hit by this fist, it would be very uncomfortable."

Lin Dong grinned and said, “That’s right, but I don’t know if it will be effective against old dog Xuanzi.”

After hearing this, Jing Hongchen frowned and thought for a moment, then whispered:
"As for Extreme Douluo, I haven't done any specific experiments, so I can't guarantee you anything. I can only say that the materials I used have been as good as they can be.

Besides, when the war starts, I should be the one to deal with Xuan Zi, and you should assist me. If we work together, there shouldn’t be any big problems, right?”

Lin Dong remained silent and did not explain further. With his current strength, it might not be possible for him to deal with Xuan Zi alone.

When the two of them arrived at the worship hall, Kong Deming was looking outside the door with a frown on his face, as if he had just finished an argument.

“Mr. Kong, I brought Lin Dong here to discuss something with you.”

Hearing Jing Hongchen's voice, Kong Deming's brows relaxed a little, and he looked up at Lin Dong and Jing Hongchen:

"You came at the right time. I was looking for Lin Dong for something. Ye Xishui was here just now."

Jing Hongchen's expression changed after hearing this. He glanced at Lin Dong and whispered tentatively:
“Is it because of Lin Dong’s talisman?”

After seeing Kong Deming nod, Jing Hongchen and Lin Dong's expressions changed. Kong Deming also sighed at this time:
"Alas, that woman told me that if I don't hand over the mysterious rune, the extent of the Holy Spirit Cult's attack this time will depend entirely on its mood."

At this point, Kong Deming shook his head subconsciously, seeming to be quite troubled by the matter, but he did not ask Lin Dong to hand over the rune, as Jing Hongchen had informed him in advance.

What's more, Lin Dong is currently at the peak of his popularity in the Sun-Moon Empire. He doesn't have much of a favorable impression of evil soul masters, so how could he possibly let the empire's genius suffer for them?

But if the Holy Spirit Church didn't exist in this second competition, their plan would be impossible to carry out.
Seeing Kong Deming fall silent, Lin Dong, who had been silent all this time, spoke softly:
"Mr. Kong, if she is unwilling, then we can find another partner. The dean and I came here to discuss this matter with you."

After hearing what he said, although Kong Deming was confused and couldn't understand why Lin Dong was so confident, he still chose to believe Lin Dong.

"You said it, I'm listening."

After the two of them told him their plan, Kong Deming was stunned for a few seconds. He seemed to be in a difficult mood. After a while, he calmed down and asked in a low voice:

"Are you sure? When did you get acquainted with such a force? This is no joke!"

Lin Dong’s face was as calm as water, and he said in a low voice: “Don’t worry, Mr. Kong, I will never joke about such things.”

Hearing his firm tone, Kong Deming was a little shaken for a moment. If Lin Dong's plan could really succeed, the power of the Holy Spirit Church would not be needed. But what about what would happen afterwards?
If Ye Xishui started a war with Sun and Moon over this matter, and Shrek counterattacked before his death, the situation would probably become unimaginably complicated.

Kong Deming was even a little unsure for a moment. Although the emperor had given him full authority to take charge of the matter, it was a matter of great complexity and he did not dare to draw conclusions lightly.

"How sure are you?"

Seeing Lin Dong and the other two waiting there, Kong Deming still seemed a little worried and asked with a little expectation.

"Ten percent."

Lin Dong spoke calmly, as if he was talking about a commonplace matter, but this was a matter of life and death for the country!
He could actually say it so calmly. If the plan failed, not only would Shrek's encirclement and suppression fail, but they would also be caught in a situation where they were attacked from both inside and outside.

Besides, who knows what kind of crazy things that crazy woman Ye Xishui will do.

This move is equivalent to directly replacing their partners, but Kong Deming has never heard that soul beasts will cooperate with humans.

Jing Hongchen looked at the hesitant Kong Deming and echoed him by throwing out his chips:

“Mr. Kong, the Emperor’s Auspicious Beast is now in our academy. You should also know her importance, so I believe in Lin Dong’s plan.”

Kong Deming frowned as he looked at Lin Dong, who looked calm. After a long silence, he sighed in relief:
“I have to admit that you did a great job in dealing with Shrek.

Whether it is the victory of the competition or the signing of a treaty with Shrek, it has a huge impact on you.

But this is a serious matter. Even if I agree alone, it will ultimately have to be implemented by the elders, and the time left to the competition is not far.

If we change the plan temporarily, their workload will increase significantly. Perhaps we need to hold a meeting in the worship hall."

Seeing Kong Deming compromise, Jing Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief. From what Kong said, the matter had been finalized, and the next step was to implement it.

Lin Dong did not have much opinion on this. Although he did not know much about these court affairs, he also knew that it was a matter of great importance.

Asking Kong Deming to use the power of a country to trust him would have been impossible if Jing Hongchen had not been there to smooth things over.

After all, although the evil soul masters are evil, they have been cooperating with the Sun-Moon Empire for quite some time, so it is indeed difficult to make a decision compared to the soul beast camp that they have never had contact with.

While Lin Dong was thinking, Jing Hongchen patted Lin Dong on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's go to the meeting."

"I am coming too?"

"of course."
