Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 21: Jealous Meng Hongchen

"It's really rare to see someone like you get humiliated."

Tian Meng's teasing voice sounded in Lin Dong's spiritual sea, and Lin Dong replied unhappily:

"Why are you here to make trouble? I need to practice. Please help me cover up the noise."

"You've been walking around for a whole day, don't you feel tired at all?"

"What is this? Stop talking nonsense. I'm starting."

"Okay, okay, got it. The little girl next door won't hear a thing."

After hearing Tian Meng's assurance, Lin Dong finally felt relieved. He sat cross-legged and slowly entered the state of cultivation.

Early the next morning.

Meng Hongchen shouted outside the door, "Lin Dong, Grandpa told you to go to Teacher Xuan's office this afternoon to discuss something important."

Lin Dong opened the door upon hearing the sound, looked at her and nodded: "Got it, thank you."

Unexpectedly, Meng Hongchen stood on tiptoe and looked inside the door: "You are so mysterious, are you hiding someone in the room?"

Lin Dong stepped out and closed the door, then stood in front of her and said calmly, "Miss Meng, you are overthinking. I am leaving now."

After saying this, Lin Dong didn't bother with her any more and walked straight outside.

Watching Lin Dong's departing back, Meng Hongchen was stunned. When had she ever been treated like this before? Then she bit her teeth and said:
"It's just a joke, why are you so fierce?"

Lin Dong came to Xuan Ziwen's laboratory and looked at the three people sitting on the stools waiting eagerly. Lin Dong smiled and greeted them.

Under the expectant eyes of the three people, Lin Dong took out the fusion disk, then placed it in front of the three people and said with a smile:
"Three teachers, I'm not very good at drawing this formation with a pen, so you can just make do with it."

The three of them smiled and waved their hands, and replied repeatedly:
"No, no, no, we just like to see the original formation. The one drawn with a brush doesn't feel right."

Lin Dong didn't waste any time and started to explain his understanding of the formation.

The three soul instructors from the Sun and Moon Frontier sat upright on the small benches at the laboratory table, listening to the lecture by the eleven-year-old boy.

He nodded from time to time, gave a thumbs-up to the fusion plate on the table, and applauded at Lin Dong.

This was an unbelievable scene, but unfortunately no one could see it. In order to keep it confidential, Jing Hongchen ordered the patrol team to seal off the entire building.

Time passed by bit by bit, and the sun had already turned from the east to the west. Xiao Hongchen, who was downstairs in the laboratory building, looked at the angry Meng Hongchen and couldn't help wondering:

"Meng, you said that grandpa went in early this morning and hasn't come out yet. He also had people seal off the building. What is he doing in there?"

Meng Hongchen seemed to be thinking about Lin Dong’s attitude this morning. He came to his senses and said in a bad tone:
"I don't know. Why do you care about grandpa? As the head of Mingde Hall, why do you have to ask him what he does?"

Xiao Hongchen listened to her somewhat irritating words and couldn't help but retort:

"You are crazy, why are you talking so harshly? Who has offended you again?"

"None of your business." Looking at his sister's domineering attitude, Xiao Hongchen shrugged helplessly, but because of the breakthrough in his soul power last night, he was in a pretty good mood.

But when he saw Jing Hongchen and others walking out of the laboratory building, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

Lin Dong was actually surrounded by the three of them, talking and laughing. Judging from the situation, such a big event today was just for Lin Dong? !

The pride in Xiao Hongchen's heart was destroyed in an instant. Who were those three people? The head of Mingde Hall, the dean of the academy, and a chief researcher.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary students would not even be qualified to greet these three people, but now they are all surrounding this seventeenth-level soul master who has just entered the academy.

Compared to Xiao Hongchen's shock, Meng Hongchen glared at Lin Dong after seeing him, and then reacted with a dull expression on his delicate face.

The brother and sister, who were hailed as geniuses once in a thousand years, stared blankly at the shocking scene before them, the shock in their hearts was beyond words.

The two of them looked at their grandfather who usually doted on them with resentment, but unexpectedly Jing Hongchen didn't even look at them. Instead, he turned around and started discussing with Lin Dong with a smile.

This is their biological grandfather, how come he looks at Lin Dong more kindly than he looks at them!
While the two were stunned, Lin Dong had already explained the matter of the core formation to the three of them. The most excited one was Jing Hongchen.

Once Lin Dong’s formation is popularized, many low-level soul guides can be optimized, and high-level soul guides will be even more exaggerated.

Soul guides that can only rely on continuously stacking charging arrays to increase their power can be replaced by fusion arrays. This brings a lot of convenience.

Of course, all this is based on the premise that they can upgrade Lin Dong’s secondary core magic array again.

Once these are successfully implemented, not only will the power of the soul guide be enhanced, but more importantly, a terrifying amount of rare metals will be saved.

Even though their mineral resources in Sun and Moon are very rich, these resources are in short supply as they are used.

After all, reducing the number of formations means reducing the amount of metal used. This does not only affect fixed-type soul guide shells, but also all of Sun and Moon's current soul guides.

As long as he can thoroughly research and mature this core formation this year and fully apply it to soul guides below level four, he can save at least half of the rare metals and funds compared to this year!
This is an extremely huge fortune for the entire Sun-Moon Empire. This is why Jing Hongchen did not hesitate to put aside his face and compete with Xuan Ziwen and Lin Jiayi for this core formation.

However, even with Lin Dong's explanation, the three of them could only understand the formation. As for improving and upgrading it, it was basically impossible in a short period of time.

As the three of them became more familiar with the battle formation, their attitude towards Lin Dong no longer had the airs of an elder, and their eyes looking at Lin Dong were full of desire for knowledge.

Under the enthusiastic questioning of the three people, the group unknowingly walked to the villa where Lin Dong lived. Seeing that they were still unsatisfied, Lin Dong smiled helplessly:
"Three of you, it's so late, you should go back and get some rest."

Although the three of them had different purposes for studying the formation, they all had a common goal. They looked at each other and said in unison:
"You won't invite us to sit in your room?"

Lin Dong's face was filled with black lines, and he pulled the corner of his mouth: "No, teachers, I'm a rough person, so I won't let you laugh at me."

Hearing the refusal in his words, the three of them shook their heads regretfully and left reluctantly.

Jing Hongchen just turned around and met the resentful gaze of his precious granddaughter. He then laughed and said, "Why are you two here?"

Meng Hongchen rolled his eyes and said sourly, "We have all been with you. You only have Lin Dong in your eyes. How can you pay any attention to us?"
