Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

The clamor of the Soul Arena had not completely subsided, and the lingering echoes of the collision of soul power still remained in the air.

Under the guidance of staff, everyone registered their points in an orderly manner.

As Tang San's fingertips traced the numbers on the scoreboard, his gaze inadvertently swept over Lin Yao, who was standing next to Ning Rongrong.

After all the formalities were completed, the group walked out of the Soul Arena side by side.

Night had fallen over the streets of Soto, and the lanterns of the shops along the street cast flickering shadows on the cobblestone streets.

As soon as I turned the corner, a fragrance of perfume wafted over on the evening breeze.

At the alley entrance not far away, several women dressed in brightly colored dresses were leaning against the door frame.

She gently waved a silk fan, her eyes sparkling with deliberate allure.

Ma Hongjun paused, his cheeks, already flushed from the battle spirit, became even hotter, and he subconsciously touched his lower abdomen.

Lin Yao's Five Elements Seal was emitting a faint coolness, firmly suppressing the raging evil fire within his body.

The reason why Lin Yao helped Ma Hongjun seal the evil fire in his body with the Five Elements as soon as they met was because...

The first reason is that he has a significant relationship with Ma Xiaotao in the world of Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect. Only Lin Yao can be qualified to handle this kind of cross-world relationship.

Lin Yao was willing to give Ma Hongjun, the chubby boy who was initially reckless, later regretted it, and ultimately became despondent, a chance.

The second reason is a test.

To be honest, Lin Yao is now able to gradually resolve the evil fire within Ma Hongjun's body, rather than sealing it away.

After all, Ma Hongjun's current strength is only that of a Great Soul Master, which is far inferior to Ma Xiaotao's strength, which has reached the Soul Saint level.

Therefore, the reason why a solution was not used directly is because this is a test.

However, Lin Yao noticed that Ma Hongjun, the chubby boy, very skillfully revealed a smiling gaze, but the lust in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

This guy seems quite young, but he's acting like a seasoned veteran. I'm putting him to the test; will he be able to hold out?

Unaware of Lin Yao's meaningful gaze, Ma Hongjun quietly turned away after spotting the special service personnel.

He nudged Dai Mubai beside him with his elbow, raised an eyebrow, avoided looking in that direction, and had a sly smile on his lips, as if to say something.

"Boss Dai, should we...?"

Dai Mubai reacted subconsciously, following his gaze, but only after seeing those figures did he realize what was happening, and his brows immediately furrowed into a knot.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhu Zhuqing walking behind him, her long hair gleaming coldly in the night.

Turning his gaze away, Dai Mubai slowly shook his head at Ma Hongjun, his eyes full of rejection and even a hint of warning.

"You fat bastard, you're clearly unaffected by this evil fire, so why are you putting on this act now?!"

However, their silent exchange was too direct, and their undisguised gazes were like two thorns, causing Zhu Zhuqing's face to turn cold.

She stopped, crossed her arms, and parted her red lips slightly, her tone full of sarcasm:

"What? You saw it but don't dare to go? What are you pretending to be so innocent for?"

Dai Mubai's expression stiffened, and he turned to look at her: "Zhu Qing, that's not what I meant..."

"So what do you mean? Instead of trying to 'communicate' with your eyes here, just go over there and avoid making people feel disgusted."

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze grew even colder, her silver eyes gleaming with ice.

"Also, ever since you made that decision, our relationship hasn't been this close, so please don't use such intimate terms of address."

After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing turned and left with a cold face.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing like this, and remembering his cowardly choice back then, Dai Mubai gritted his teeth but ultimately didn't chase after her. He only glared at Ma Hongjun and said angrily:

"You fat bastard, don't you even look at the current situation? Can't you tone it down a bit?!"

Dai Mubai had the idea of ​​taking action, but with so many people watching, there was no need to make a scene, so he turned and left.

Only Ma Hongjun, who was gradually coming to his senses, realized that he had unknowingly tricked Boss Dai, who often treated him to food, drinks, gambling, and prostitution.

That was so wrong of me. Was I too complacent because my evil fire was being suppressed?

Ma Hongjun couldn't help but feel regretful when he thought about the meal ticket he might lose in the future.

Just as Ma Hongjun was lamenting and grieving, Lin Yao stepped forward and came to stand in front of him.

His aura was somewhat serious, and when his gaze fell on Ma Hongjun, his tone showed no softening:

"Ma Hongjun, I forgot to tell you, although the Five Elements Seal can suppress your evil fire, it doesn't mean you can indulge yourself."

He raised his hand and patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder, the pressure of his fingertips causing the other man to instinctively straighten his back.

"If you continue to indulge in brothels and neglect your cultivation, you will not only betray the painstaking efforts I made to place the seal on you, but it will also be difficult for you to turn back in the future."

Sensing Lin Yao's aura and hearing his blunt and oppressive words, Ma Hongjun lowered his head and spoke indistinctly:

"Boss Lin Yao, I... I just wanted to take a look. I didn't really want to go. After all, I'm just a kid, what would I do in that place?"

"Look, fine, I'm not going to meddle that much, but going to a place like that, especially during your prime years, will damage your foundation and you'll regret it in the future."

Lin Yao's voice deepened.

"In the past, you could say that your martial soul was flawed because you needed to go to such places. Principal Flander had no way to deal with your evil fire, so he had no choice but to make you do this."

But now the seal is suppressing the evil fire completely. If you still can't control your desires, your willpower is far inferior to that of a former friend's girlfriend.

As he spoke, Lin Yao unconsciously recalled his girlfriend Ma Xiaotao from their world.

Thinking of this, Lin Yao couldn't help but sigh with regret.

I wonder how that guy managed to get through the love triangle between Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen.

Unfortunately, that memory was not shared.

One ice, one fire, two genius girls with unparalleled beauty, embraced the two men, and were still jumping back and forth between life and death.

I'm so envious.

No, damn it.

Shaking his head to bring his scattered thoughts back to reality, Lin Yao paused, then looked at Ma Hongjun with a more serious expression.

"Hongjun, let me make this clear from the start: if you truly fall into depravity, not only will I not help you a second time, but the gates of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will never be opened for you."

Flander, listening from the side, understood that although Lin Yao's words were a bit harsh, they were also out of concern for his disciple's future.

It wasn't directed at anyone in particular.

Instead, he stepped forward and patted Ma Hongjun on the back, his usual playful smile gone, his tone full of sincerity:

"Hongjun, your boss Lin Yao is right. The reason we had to suppress your martial soul's flaws like that before was out of necessity."

Now, everything is different. With Lin Yao's intervention, the biggest factor affecting you has disappeared, and it's not too late to change things.

You are still young and have a long road ahead of you. If you stumble on this and waste your most precious time for cultivation, your life will be ruined.

Even if in the future, due to insufficient strength, various things happen that I will regret, it will be too late to regret them then.

Flander's gaze toward Ma Hongjun carried a subtle, almost imperceptible, paternal affection.

After the child's martial spirit awakened, he took him back to the academy.

Over the years, watching him grow from a mischievous teenager, I've come to regard him as my own child.

Back then, he was caught up in the relationship between Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong.

This can be seen from the name of the three as the Golden Triangle, and from the fact that he himself was just an extra in the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

This unrequited love was destined to end in regret from the very beginning.

The reality is the same.

Therefore, Flanders remains alone to this day.

In addition, he doesn't have any bad habits and has been a virgin for decades. As for being stingy, he simply likes money.

This is his spiritual sustenance.

Leaving behind enough funds for his current successor, Ma Hongjun, to cultivate to the peak, is his most important concern.

This friendship can be glimpsed from Ma Xiaotao's special status at Shrek Academy in the later novel "Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect".

As Ma Hongjun listened to their conversation, the confusion in his eyes gradually faded when he looked up.

He took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and spoke with a firm tone:

"Boss Lin Yao, Dean, I know I was wrong. I will never go to that kind of place again."

Seeing his sincere attitude, Lin Yao's expression softened slightly, and he patted his arm:

"It's good that you can admit your mistakes and correct them."

You must remember that controlling your desires is part of self-cultivation. Only when you are strong enough can you control your own life.

Ninety-nine percent of the regrets in this world, in the final analysis, stem from a lack of ability.

Simply put, Lin Yao was describing Ma Hongjun's future path.

He became the only one among the Shrek Seven Devils to ascend to the realm of gods.

He placed his hopes on others, but could only watch helplessly as the person he loved died.

Perhaps, it was only when Ma Hongjun, who inherited the second-level god, recalled that figure that pain gnawed at his heart.

He regretted not working harder when he was younger. He should have strived for that godhood that was right in front of him.

Although Ma Hongjun didn't know his future would be so tragic, he could still feel the sincerity in Lin Yao's words.

For the first time, he felt such genuine care from someone other than the dean, who was like a father to him.

Immediately, he took a deep breath, nodded emphatically, and firmly remembered those words.

After dealing with Ma Hongjun's matter, Lin Yao turned to look at Tang San, his gaze calm:

"Tang San, I'd like to speak with you alone. Do you have time?"

Tang San paused for a moment, then nodded: "Brother Lin, please speak freely."

The others were somewhat puzzled by the conversation between the two, but none of them seemed inclined to interrupt.

Even the carefree Xiao Wu is the same.

After saying goodbye to everyone, the two walked towards the central park of Soto City.

Upon arriving at the park, Lin Yao stopped, turned to look at Tang San, and got straight to the point:

"To be honest, I am very interested in the hidden weapons you make. I would like to buy some of the finished products from you so as to enhance the overall strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

While saying this, Lin Yao had other thoughts in his mind.

Thinking about how the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, which could only kill Soul Masters by surprise in the early stages but could later kill God Kings, what secrets did it hold?

This might just be a bit of fun, satisfying one's curiosity, and spending a few gold coins isn't a big deal.

Unlike the original inhabitants of Douluo Continent, they are trapped in this "barren" world, clinging to old laws.

Lin Yao possesses the soul tool inheritance of the Peerless Tang Sect, as well as knowledge from the world of technology.

The Soul Guidance Device system proved its superiority ten thousand years later during the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect era, having long since rendered hidden weapons obsolete.

The reason he wants to buy hidden weapons from Tang San now is simply out of personal interest.

When Tang San heard the word "hidden weapon," his pupils contracted slightly, and a barely perceptible killing intent flashed in his eyes.

In his view, hidden weapons were his trump card.

The ultimate martial art of the Tang Clan.

Lin Yao's blatant "covetousness" had already violated his taboo and was practically a death sentence.

But he quickly calmed down.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a powerful force. Lin Yao broke through to the Soul Sect three years ago, and his strength is now unfathomable.

He was only a level 29 Great Soul Master, and had no confidence in killing his opponent.

Fear and hesitation intertwined in his heart, making him hesitate to speak for a moment.

Lin Yao added, "I only need the finished product; I have no interest in the method of making the hidden weapon."

The killing intent in Tang San's heart quietly dissipated, and his tense body relaxed a bit.

But Lin Yao accurately captured that fleeting, sinister look in his eyes.

Lin Yao chuckled inwardly:

Indeed, it is easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature.

He used to have some positive feelings towards Tang San in the early stages, thinking that Tang San's forbearance was influenced by Yu Xiaogang and Shrek Academy.

But now it seems that it didn't have that much of an impact; the person's true nature was just like that.

To be honest, Tang San was already an adult when he transmigrated to Douluo Continent, and after experiencing the "torture" he suffered at the hands of Tang Hao, his personality was already set.

His initial gentle and humble demeanor was merely a disguise when he lacked strength.

When he reaches the pinnacle of power ten thousand years later and holds absolute authority, the evil in his heart will be fully unleashed, and he will not even spare his own children.

Tang San suppressed the turmoil in his heart and a gentle smile returned to his face:

"Since Brother Lin needs it, I am naturally willing to sell it."

Immediately, Tang San began to make plans in his mind.

Creating more powerful hidden weapons requires a lot of money, and Teacher Yu Xiaogang is short of money, while Shrek Academy is even poorer.

Lin Yao, standing before them, was undoubtedly the best "sugar daddy," and they couldn't afford to miss this opportunity.

He thought for a moment and then added, "Sect Leader Lin, do you need blueprints for hidden weapons? With blueprints, we can make them ourselves in the future."

Lin Yao shook his head, his tone flat:

"No need."

No need.

Lin Yao himself wasn't one of those peers who transmigrated to the era of Dou Yi, yet he was bound to this piece of junk in Tang San's hands.

To reiterate, with the inheritance of soul tools and technological knowledge in hand, there is absolutely no need to be fixated on the hidden weapon blueprints of the Tang Sect martial arts world.

Those things were nothing more than "hobby items" to Lin Yao.

A hint of regret flashed across Tang San's face.

However, upon closer observation of Lin Yao's expression, it was discovered that he seemed to be more curious about the hidden weapons.

Spending money to buy it is just for "fun".

The unintentional "contempt" that he revealed added a touch of darkness to his eyes.

However, Tang San didn't say anything more and maintained his gentle smile.

Lin Yao took in his reaction but had no intention of taking action to destroy Tang San's gold coins.

He wasn't afraid of Tang Hao, but rather of the Asura God who hadn't yet shown himself.

In his view, Tang San at this moment was nothing more than a chess piece on a chessboard.

Compared to Tang San, the God King from the Legend of the Dragon King era, who could barely put half a hand on the chessboard, he was far inferior.

Even if Tang San breaks through to the god level in the future, he is confident that he can easily kill him in the future, and he has no fear at all.

Not to mention, Lin Yao felt that killing Tang San now might lead to the emergence of a "Tang Si" or "Tang Wu".

It's better to keep him around; it adds a bit of "fun" and allows me to "develop stealthily."

As for attracting the attention of the Asura God too early, it would give you more time to grow.

They chatted for a few more minutes before parting ways.

Lin Yao strode towards the place where he had arranged to meet Ning Rongrong. From afar, he saw the girl standing at the entrance of the hotel, her pink skirt fluttering gently in the evening breeze.

Knowing full well that Flander's thrifty nature led to Shrek Academy, a soul master academy, being so dilapidated.

Lin Yao didn't want to stay in such a simple place with Ning Rongrong, so they naturally agreed to stay at a hotel.

When Ning Rongrong saw him, her eyes lit up instantly, and she ran over quickly:

Lin Yao smiled and ruffled her hair, then recounted his deal with Tang San involving hidden weapons.

Ning Rongrong blinked, her face full of confusion:

"Hidden weapons? But doesn't the sect have a lot of offensive soul tools? And you made them by hand."

When I asked you where you found it, you wouldn't tell me.

Now that soul tools are more convenient and suitable for soul masters than hidden weapons, why are you suddenly interested in Tang San's hidden weapons?

Lin Yao smiled, offering no further explanation, only saying, "I was just curious and wanted to take a look."

"Curious?! Okay."

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Ning Rongrong did not press him further, thinking it was a trivial matter.

Holding Lin Yao's arm, Ning Rongrong walked intimately into the hotel with him, excitedly sharing her feelings about the day's battle:

"Brother Yao, you don't know, I only realized today how satisfying it is to smash people with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

No wonder so many Soul Masters, as long as they're even remotely connected, want to become Battle Soul Masters.

I'm even thinking about whether I should wait until later and try transitioning from a support-type Soul Master to a combat-type Soul Master, creating a new style of Soul Master for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"That's a good idea, but I don't know how Uncle Ning will deal with you, haha."

"Brother Lin Yao, you naughty guy, you always want to see me make a fool of myself. Of course I know the risks, but don't you still have me to protect me?"

"I shouldn't interfere with a father's teaching of his daughter."

"I don't care, you must protect me, even if it's my father."

Ning Rongrong said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, I'll protect you, I'll protect you. Stop shaking me, you're making me dizzy."

Lin Yao said helplessly.

"In the future, my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda will also be able to defeat all enemies with its powerful combat talent."

Let those who look down on us support players understand that support players can also rise to prominence and become prominent figures admired by all on the continent.

Watching Ning Rongrong open her heart and tell him about her grand ambitions for the future, Lin Yao listened patiently from the end.

She occasionally nodded in agreement, her eyes full of tenderness.

The hotel lights were warm and bright, casting long shadows of the two people and creating a cozy atmosphere.
