Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 25: Xiao Hongchen: Lin Dong’s talent is reasonable
After the three of them arrived at the training ground, Meng Hongchen glanced at Xiao Hongchen, who closed his eyes slightly and looked at the watch-like thing on his wrist.

Three pairs of wing-like things flashed in his hands. Lin Dong's heart was moved. This must be the storage soul guide. It looked really convenient.

Without waiting for Lin Dong to think too much, Meng Hongchen took a black wing from his brother's hand, handed it to Lin Dong and explained:
"This is something Grandpa specially sent someone to make for you. To take care of you who have a lower level of soul power, this thing is already full of soul power. You just need to follow me and activate it."

Lin Dong took the thing and looked at it. This flying soul guide device was composed of a metal cover that fit the chest, with a pair of black wings extending from the left and right sides.

There are two medium-sized gems inlaid on the back. Although it is made of metal, it feels as light as a cicada's wing in the hand and does not feel heavy at all.

There was a flash of undisguised admiration in his eyes. What surprised him most was what Meng Hongchen said, that this thing could actually allow him, a one-ring soul master, to fly independently.

Seeing Lin Dong's admiring eyes, Meng Hongchen joked in a weird way:

"You, it turns out that only things related to cultivation can make you so concerned."

Lin Dong just laughed it off and didn't get too involved. Meng Hongchen then continued:
"The thing you hold in your hand is not only extremely expensive, but also unique to our Sun Moon Empire. The flying soul guides of the other three countries are not even worthy of this name. At best, they are just an iron shell that can fly into the sky."

Lin Dong couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Are the soul guide technology of the other three countries so backward?"

"Of course. When it comes to research on soul guides, the other three countries combined are not as good as our Sun and Moon. As for flying soul guides, we are at least three generations ahead of them."

When saying this, Meng Hongchen even puffed out his chest unconsciously, as if he was quite proud of it.

Xiao Hongchen, who was standing by, also agreed: "That's right, so, in this Soul Master Competition, I must let people from other countries see what a true genius is!"

Seeing him bragging, Meng Hongchen bluntly said:

“Stop bragging in front of Lin Dong. You haven’t even obtained your fifth spirit ring yet. You are just a preliminary player. It’s not certain whether you will have a chance to play.”

Xiao Hongchen looked a little ugly and said to her with gritted teeth:

"You...! Who is bragging? Wait until I get my fifth spirit ring, and see if I can play!"

Seeing this, Lin Dong had no choice but to step out and act as a peacemaker. He patted Xiao Hongchen on the shoulder and said:
"Alright, alright, Brother Hongchen, it's time to complete the dean's mission and teach me how to use this thing. How can I not coax my own sister?"

Meng Hongchen's eyes curved into a cunning arc, and she wanted to say something, but when the words reached her lips, Lin Dong glared back at her. She pouted her lips and said nothing.

Xiao Hongchen, who was successfully appeased, looked at Lin Dong with a bit more kindness, and his cold tone melted a little as he said, “Okay.”

Under the guidance of the Hongchen brothers and sisters, Lin Dong put on the flying soul guide, pressed a button, and his body slowly rose into the air.

Looking at the building getting smaller and smaller under his feet, Lin Dong grinned:
"I haven't felt the feeling of flying for a long time. Although it's not very fast, it's much better than walking."

Meng Hongchen rushed up from below and said in surprise:

"How come you are so good at it? You don't look like a novice at all. You said before that you have never touched a soul guide, are you lying to us?"

Lin Dong was a little surprised after hearing this, and said helplessly:

"No, then how should I behave to look like a novice?"

"You should at least stagger up to the sky, lose your balance and fall down, and then the two of us should catch you and send you up again. This is reasonable." "Uh, am I that stupid?" Lin Dong said subconsciously after hearing this.

The two people on the side suddenly had black lines on their faces. Even though they were two siblings, they were caught by Jing Hongchen several times when they used the flying soul guide for the first time.

This guy... actually said it so lightly. Lin Dong seemed to notice the change in their expressions. He touched his nose and said awkwardly:
"Sorry, maybe I just have a better sense of balance. I don't mean to be sarcastic."

The harmless smile, coupled with the nonchalant tone, made Xiao Hongchen's face turn pale, and he roared in his heart:
Sure enough, I still hate this guy!

However, after noticing Lin Dong’s puzzled look, his expression slightly changed and he said softly:
"It's okay. It's a good thing that you have talent. It's just that you have a better sense of balance. Everyone has something they are good at. It makes sense, it makes sense."

Meng Hongchen looked at Xiao Hongchen's self-consoling expression and said with a smile, "I am not afraid of making trouble.

"Yes, brother. I remember that you had a bad sense of balance. Grandpa picked you up several times at that time."

Xiao Hongchen's already tense face finally couldn't hold it back anymore at this moment, but after all, Lin Dong was there, so he forced himself to take a deep breath and said with a forced smile:

"Can we just complete the mission and stop talking about this nonsense, Meng?"

Meng Hongchen knew that he had become completely anxious, so she stuck out her tongue playfully and stopped provoking him.

Under the shocked gazes of the two men, Lin Dong gradually flew higher and higher, and his speed became faster and faster. If it weren’t for the fact that both of them had the cultivation level of Quasi-Soul Kings, they would have been thrown off by this guy.

After thirty minutes of flying, Lin Dong finally stopped, still unsatisfied, turned around and looked at the two of them, smiling, "Gentlemen, do you think I am familiar with this situation?"

The brother and sister looked at each other with dull expressions. After a while, Meng Hongchen slowly said:
"I can see that you are indeed a monster. I cannot judge you by common sense."

However, at the moment of turning their heads, a hint of mockery flashed in the eyes of the brother and sister at the same time. Lin Dong certainly didn't know that after such a high-intensity flight, a normal person would definitely vomit when they landed.

The brother and sister were in perfect harmony and neither of them raised this question. They just wanted to see how embarrassed Lin Dong, who had always broken common sense, would be.

After the brother and sister demonstrated, Lin Dong repeated their operations, landed slowly, turned his head and looked at the two people who were stunned, and asked with some doubt:

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there anything else?"

The two looked at Lin Dong, who had no expression on his face, with dull faces. After a moment, they shook their heads repeatedly. Although Lin Dong was a little confused, he still handed the soul guide in his hand to Meng Hongchen and said:

"Please thank Dean Hongchen for me. If there are no problems, please tell him for me. I'm ready to go at any time."

The brother and sister looked at each other in bewilderment. After seeing Lin Dong leaving, Meng Hongchen said in a low voice in a daze:
"Xiao, can you still say that you are the first genius of the empire?"

Xiao Hongchen, who has always been confident and conceited, was a little hesitant at this moment.

Because his grandfather had told him that even a Soul Master at level 40 wouldn't be able to operate a flying soul guide at full power and not have any reaction at all.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hongchen struggled for a moment, but soon regained his confidence, clenched his fists and said:
"That only shows that he has a good talent in soul guides, but genius is not just about this. I, Xiao Hongchen, will not be surpassed so easily!"
