Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 47 Lin Dong’s Special Request

"Lin Dong, you are awesome. With you, I, Xiao Hongchen, am truly invincible among my peers!"

After experiencing the effects of Lin Dong's soul skills, including self-aiming and headlocking, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but roar out loud.

Hearing what he said, Lin Dong complained with a look of disdain:
"I'm not here to assist you. I'm just letting you try. When the game comes, I have to take action myself."

When Xiao Hongchen heard what he said, her smiling face suddenly froze, and then she made a coquettish expression towards him and said:
"You mean, I'm a disposable item that you can throw away after using it?"

Lin Dong's face suddenly turned black. Seeing this guy, he even blinked in disgust. He immediately stood up and slapped him on the head:

"I have to tell you several times that I am not interested in men. If you keep making this expression towards me, don't even think about my soul skills covering you for a second."

Xiao Hongchen then put away his sly expression. Everyone was amused by this funny scene. Ma Rulong even started to tease:

“Lin Dong, Xiao Hongchen is usually very arrogant and has an air of self-importance. We all saw that expression just now for the first time. You have to be careful.”

Lin Dong, who already disliked Xiao Hongchen, immediately took a half step back and looked at Xiao Hongchen with disdain. Xiao Hongchen immediately broke down and said:

"What are you doing? I just like your spirit skills. I was just joking with you just now. Don't worry, this genius has very high standards."

Lin Dong ignored his words and turned to look at Ma Rulong and asked:
"Captain Ma, I want to ask you something about the competition system. I need to meet some people specifically in the competition."

Ma Rulong looked at Xiao Hongchen, who looked lost, and said after a pause:
"You should first determine your position in the team."

Before Lin Dong could speak, Xiao Hongchen rushed to speak:

"Before deciding what position to play, he will come to our preliminary team and pair up with this genius. This combination is invincible."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Dong reached out and pressed his head, "Shut up."

Ma Rulong looked at Xiao Hongchen who had become quiet at that moment and gave Lin Dong a thumbs up. This lawless young man had finally met his nemesis.

After subduing Xiao Hongchen who liked to interrupt, Lin Dong continued:

"I want to know, what are the consequences if I kill someone in a big competition?"

Everyone was startled by the murderous look in his eyes. Ma Rulong was stunned for a moment before explaining:

"There are rarely any deaths in competitions. After all, the participants are the elite of each academy. If they die easily, it will be a bad thing for all forces."

“Don’t worry too much about this. If the forces behind this want to seek revenge, they can just come to me, Lin Dong. The academy will not be implicated.”

"What are you talking about? Everything you say and do in the competition represents the academy. How could it not implicate the academy? You, you are not going to do something stupid that would require you to bear the responsibility alone, are you?"

Hearing Meng Hongchen's somewhat worried question, Lin Dong chuckled:
"I have an irreconcilable conflict with them. If it involves the academy, I can only say sorry."

Meng Hongchen frowned slightly and said in a gentle tone:
“That’s not what I meant. What I meant was that since you have come to the academy, no matter what happens, the academy will always stand behind you and will not let you face it alone.” Looking at his serious blue eyes, Lin Dong was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, the people around him all echoed him:

"Yes, you underestimate our school too much. There is no one in this whole continent that our school cannot afford to offend. You are a popular genius in the school, how can we let you bear the consequences alone?"

Hearing everyone's response, Lin Dong smiled. So this is what it feels like to have a backer. It seems pretty good.
"By the way, if you really want to kill someone, the referee won't watch you do it. During the game, the referee will stop you based on his own judgment. Try not to conflict with the referee then."

Hearing Ma Rulong's suggestion, Lin Dong frowned: "This competition cannot allow people to kill each other? Is it still a competition?"

Everyone looked at him strangely when they heard what he said. Why did this guy like to talk about killing so much? Is it really okay for him to be so murderous at such a young age?

Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Lin Dong coughed dryly and forced out a harmless smile:

"In a competition, isn't it normal to risk your life for victory? If you don't have this awareness, how can you win?"

Hearing his explanation, everyone couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere became somewhat cheerful. Ma Rulong patted his shoulder and said with a smile:

"You are too serious. The academy will not disregard the lives of students for the so-called honor. This kind of honor is not what we need."

“Yeah, Lin Dong, don’t be too aggressive when the time comes. Your temper is really worrying.”

Looking at Meng Hongchen's worried face, Lin Dong smiled and replied:

"Don't worry, I will decide based on the situation. Instead, let's discuss tactics."

Xiao Hongchen seemed to have found an opportunity and quickly said, "You can't compete with this genius for Lin Dong. He and I are a perfect match."

“You have to understand that it is you who needs Lin Dong, not him. He has the strength to defeat the Soul King alone.”

Meng Hongchen added faintly, and Xiao Hongchen realized that Lin Dong's spirit skills would kill anyone, and immediately looked at him with a flattering look on his face:
"Lin Dong, you will choose me, right? We are the first to know each other, so please give this genius some face."

Lin Dong stared at him and said calmly, "I refuse. I prefer to listen to Captain Ma's advice."

When Xiao Hongchen heard that he was rejected, he looked at Lin Dong with an expression of doubt about his life. He couldn't understand how someone could say such hurtful words without any expression.

Ma Rulong smiled and said, "Since you want to meet certain people in the competition, you must have higher requirements for the individual competition. Once your opponent appears, we will let the players on the field admit defeat first, and then send you on the field. Is that okay?"

Hearing his arrangement, Lin Dong nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Thank you all for your cooperation."

Ma Rulong shrugged indifferently and laughed softly:
"Well, with your soul skills and our soul guides, our team battle is almost certain to win. The outcome of the individual competition will not affect us too much."

“Yes, Lin Dong, with you here, I, a defensive soul master, can be much more relaxed. I can always sense the status of my companions and provide timely protection. I don’t need to be on the alert and observe the situation on the field the whole time. You are simply a treasure to each of us!”

Although Lin Xi's expression was a bit corny, it still resonated with everyone. However, Meng Hongchen raised the most critical question at this time:
"Which of the starting players are you going to replace?"
