Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 2 The Fallen Genius: Feng·Almost Killed God·Baboon!
"Madam, that little bastard has awakened his martial soul, and it is still full of innate soul power. Do you want to take it?"

A graceful and elegant woman sat on a chair in the hall, raised her chin proudly, a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, and said in a cold tone:
"That bitch is dead, why keep this brat around? But don't make too much noise, or else someone will catch you."

After hearing her answer, the servant showed a hint of respect on his wretched face and said in a deep voice:
"Yes! I'll arrange it right away!"

Looking at the servant who turned and left, the Duchess raised a cold arc with her red lips and murmured:

"If you want to blame someone, blame your mother for choosing the wrong person. I hope you can be born into a better family in your next life."

In the Duke's Mansion's woodshed, Lin Dong looked at the White Tiger Dagger in front of him thoughtfully, and murmured in a low voice: "Should I go find him?"

Lin Dong dismissed this idea as soon as it came to his mind. He was not sure what his biological father's attitude towards him would be.

After thinking for a while, he decided to leave the Duke's Mansion first. He didn't think that vicious woman would let him go so easily, and then quickly packed his luggage.

Soon, Lin Dong finished tidying up. Looking at the place where he had lived for a long time, he did not feel the slightest bit of reluctance in his heart. This place had been a nightmare for him and his mother.

After closing the door gently, Lin Dong's gaze lingered for a moment in the courtyard of this magnificent mansion. A hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and he said in a cold tone:
"Duchess, in five years at least, eight years at most, I will come back to avenge my mother and me. Just clean your neck and wait."

If there were people standing nearby, they would be surprised to find that when Lin Dong, who was only eleven years old, said this, he was filled with murderous intent.

Taking advantage of the night, Lin Dong quietly slipped out from the back door and headed straight towards the northwest of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

In the months since his mother's death, he has been preparing to leave.

He knew that the reason why the Duchess did not kill him so soon was probably, in some sense, thanks to the father he had never met.

His mother once said that she and the Duke of White Tiger were childhood sweethearts. Although Lin Dong did not believe it, he thought that this was probably the reason why the Duchess only caused his mother to die of exhaustion and did not send anyone to assassinate her.

After all, there are quite a few complicated forces in the Duke's Mansion. She probably doesn't want to be caught because of small characters like herself and her mother.

If his biological father was truly devoted to her as his mother said, and was willing to settle accounts with the Duchess for both him and his mother, then he could, for the sake of his mother, not delve too deeply into the matter.

But if he insists on favoring that evil woman, or if he can't explain why he has ignored something for the past eleven years, then you can't blame me for not giving him face.

Although he could not commit patricide, it was possible to make him lose the ability to resist and seek revenge on the Duchess himself.

For now, he should stay away from the Duke's Mansion to avoid being hunted down by the soldiers sent by the Duchess. He definitely cannot go to Xingluo City because she might have spies there.

My current identity should not be registered in the Xingluo Empire, so there are many routes I can choose from...

With his thoughts lingering here, Lin Dong decided to go to the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest first and hunt a suitable soul beast.

After all, he has just awakened his martial soul. If he does not obtain a spirit ring, it will be difficult for him to make further progress. The hatred he carries on his shoulders will not allow him to stagnate for too long.

Although with his current strength, he naturally didn't dare to go deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, but he could try his luck in the outskirts and maybe he could meet a suitable soul beast.

In the bag behind him, there were only some simple food, five gold soul coins, and ten silver soul coins.

These things were all the savings he and his mother had accumulated over the past eleven years, which was quite bleak. Under the night sky, a tall and thin figure kept walking in the night.

Outside the firewood room of the Duke's Mansion, three dark shadows stood outside the door and observed for a while. After making a few gestures to each other, the leader took the lead and gently pushed the door open.

Looking at the empty and simple room, the three masked men couldn't hide their astonishment. How could this kid, at such a young age, be so good at judging the situation? !

Returning to the atrium, the Duchess raised a slight smile, as if she felt that her plan had been completed. A dark shadow flashed in front of her, knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice:
"Report to the Madam, I don't know when that boy got the news, and he has secretly left."

When the Duchess heard this, she slapped the back of her chair, sat up instantly and shouted angrily:
"What! What are you guys doing here? That little bastard has just awakened his soul power. Do you think he can predict the future?"

Looking at the angry Duchess, the man in black could only lower his head and silently bear this unprovoked disaster.

After a moment, he seemed to have finished venting his anger, and then he gave another order with a cold face:
"With this little beast's courage, he definitely won't go to the Xingdou Great Forest. Go to Xingluo City and search for him secretly. I don't believe that a child who has just awakened his martial spirit can outrun you Soul Kings!"

"Yes!"

After hearing this, the servant clasped his fists and replied in a deep voice, then left under the latter's cold eyes...

Five days passed in a flash before Lin Dong set foot on the land of the Star Dou Great Forest. His innate exceptional mental power made him vaguely feel that this forest was quite dangerous.

Another three days passed, and with his keen perception, Lin Dong was able to avoid many powerful auras in the past three days.

He doesn't have soul rings or soul skills now, so he has to be careful. However, after awakening his martial soul, he can use some martial arts, which should be soul skills now.

With his current physical strength, the highest level soul skill he can perform should be the Qimen Seal.

Not only are the Tongbei Fist and the Bahuang Palm not as good as the Qimen Seal in rank, but they are also melee soul skills, and naturally are not suitable for dealing with these soul beasts.

Rather than competing with brainless soul beasts in physical strength, he would rather compete with them in brains and combat experience.

Just as Lin Dong was thinking about what to do next, he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him. His body instinctively turned slightly and a dark shadow passed by him.

It was a baboon about one meter tall, with brown hair all over its body, sharp nails on its claws, sharp canine teeth exposed at its lips, and saliva dripping from its mouth. It looked a little stupid.

Lin Dong's eyes were covered with a trace of gray, and his soul power gathered in his palm. A rudimentary energy handprint appeared in his palm.

Then he tensed his body and carefully observed the latter's further actions.

The wind baboon kicked the ground with its hind legs and rushed towards him mindlessly. Lin Dong was not polite and blasted the leaping wind baboon with the palm print in his hand.

Looking at the wind baboon that was blown several meters away and fell heavily to the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Lin Dong once again condensed a hand seal and shot it towards the baboon that was unable to move on the ground. A faint white light appeared above its body and slowly condensed into a white halo.

After seeing the white spirit ring, Lin Dong heaved a sigh of relief, dispersed the spirit power in his hand, stepped over the body of the wind baboon, and ran towards the depths of the Xingdou Great Forest.
