Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Ten days later, Lin Yao and Chen Xin finally returned to Qibao City.

What should have been a journey of just a few days took Lin Yao a full ten days because he focused on cultivation along the way.

"Xiao Yao, you've cultivated diligently along the way, which has been truly commendable. Now that you're back at the sect, it's time to balance work and rest. Go and get some rest."

Back in the sect, Chen Xin looked at Lin Yao with eyes full of satisfaction and admiration.

During this time, he witnessed Lin Yao's diligence and hard work, and was full of expectations for this disciple's future, his tone also showing great satisfaction.

"As for telling Fengzhi about your experiences and gains during this period, leave that to me."

"Okay, teacher, I'll be going now."

Lin Yao has devoted himself to cultivation during this period, and his strength has improved significantly, filling him with motivation.

But he wasn't made of iron; the intense training of the past few days had left him exhausted.

He didn't insist any further and headed straight for his room.

Back in the room, it was clean and tidy, with items neatly arranged, clearly indicating that someone regularly came to clean and tidy it; everything looked just like yesterday.

However, Lin Yao has undergone a complete transformation compared to ten days ago, and his strength has made a qualitative leap.

He went to the bed, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest for a while.

Feeling the increased strength of his soul power, which had reached level seventeen, Lin Yao nodded inwardly, quite satisfied.

That thousand-year-old soul ring, which originated from the black jade bamboo, possesses extremely profound origins.

When it was absorbed, it not only brought great benefits to Lin Yao's body, but also allowed his soul power to break through to level sixteen in one fell swoop.

In retrospect, his soul power at that time must have reached a little over level sixteen.

After ten days of consolidation and refinement, he finally broke through to level seventeen.

"I was able to break through to the next level so quickly this time, thanks to the legacy of that soul ring."

If a thousand-year-old spirit ring is this powerful, it's no wonder that so many people are willing to take risks to pursue high-age spirit rings.

Especially that blood-red 100,000-year soul ring, brimming with danger and opportunity, is widely recognized as the number one treasure on the continent.

Lin Yao couldn't help but sigh inwardly, feeling more and more that he had chosen the right path in his bold attempt to absorb a thousand-year soul ring with his first soul ring.

With this solid foundation of spirit rings, he can gradually increase the number of years he can absorb spirit rings based on his own growth.

According to his plan, when he reached the seventh or eighth ring, he would attempt to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring.

This is the safest growth plan he has devised for himself.

The future is full of unknowns and variables, but Lin Yao knows in his heart that he only has a dozen or so years of peaceful time at most.

Joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would certainly allow him to obtain abundant cultivation resources, enabling him to grow in peace in the early stages and preventing him from being easily killed by malicious covetousness or suppression.

But he also understood that every gain comes with a price.

As one of the three upper sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has become increasingly powerful on the continent, naturally making it a thorn in the side of those ambitious individuals in the Spirit Hall who are trying to establish a Spirit Empire.

Barring any major unforeseen events, the Soul Hunting Operation launched by the Spirit Hall more than a decade later, and the crisis of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School being besieged by more than a dozen Title Douluos, will most likely not disappear because of his involvement.

However, Lin Yao was fully confident in the speed at which his strength improved, believing that he was no worse than Tang San, who went to Seagod Island to receive the Seagod's empowerment.

Moreover, he has the unique advantage of connections to various worlds.

While these worlds currently offer more experience and knowledge, they don't yet provide the powerful assistance that could propel him to instant success.

But as time goes by, with the combined power of these worlds, it's not impossible to become a god overnight if you're lucky.

As for now, we still need to be down-to-earth and rely on our own efforts.

Thinking this, Lin Yao's originally tired body and mind were suddenly filled with a new strength, and he instantly lost the desire to rest.

He adjusted his posture, his breathing gradually calmed, and he entered a meditative state again.

Instead of cultivation, one should use meditation to immerse oneself in the circulation and enhancement of soul power.

He secretly set a small goal for himself: to break through to level 20 as soon as possible.

……

On the other side, after leaving Lin Yao, Chen Xin went straight to the council hall.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi was handling sect affairs in the hall. When he saw Chen Xin enter, he immediately put down his work and stood up to greet him.

After Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi took their seats, they began to recount in detail their observations and guidance of Lin Yao during this period, as well as the gains Lin Yao had made.

During the narration, Chen Xin emphasized Lin Yao's astonishing feat of easily absorbing a thousand-year-old soul ring with the help of the Star Body.

This is unprecedented in the records of the Soul Master system.

In the past, no Soul Master had ever dared to absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring as their first Soul Ring.

After all, this is equivalent to the third soul ring with the best soul ring ratio at the Soul Master stage, which carries extremely high risks.

"A thousand-year-old black jade bamboo soul ring, this young man Xiao Yao has really given us old guys a big surprise."

After listening, Ning Fengzhi's tone was full of amazement and emotion.

"I originally thought that his previous statement about absorbing a thousand-year soul ring was just youthful impetuosity."

Once he truly understands the risk of exploding and dying from absorbing a high-level spirit ring, he will definitely hesitate.

Therefore, as a second-best option, they conservatively chose to absorb a six- or seven-hundred-year-old soul ring, equivalent to the second soul ring of a Great Soul Master.

After all, with the powerful physical talent brought by the second martial soul of the Star Body, such a conservative choice will prevent any unexpected events from occurring.

Looking back now, I realize I was too old-fashioned and underestimated Xiao Yao, this exceptionally talented young man.

Ning Fengzhi knew in his heart that their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had really struck gold this time.

Lin Yao's displayed talent undoubtedly makes him a worthy candidate for the Super Douluo title.

Given time, if everything goes smoothly, Lin Yao's achievements may even surpass Chen Xin's.

The thought that the sect might one day have a top-tier expert whose swordsmanship surpasses even that of Sword Douluo Chen Xin filled Ning Fengzhi with an irrepressible excitement.

In this way, sects will have more confidence when facing the behemoth that is the Spirit Hall.

"Actually, I think that compared to the talent that Xiao Yao has shown, his firm mind and positive, hardworking spirit are even more valuable."

Gu Rong, who had been standing quietly to the side listening, couldn't help but add something at this moment.

Gu Rong was usually taciturn, but he had a keen eye. His evaluation of Lin Yao made Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin nod in agreement.

"Uncle Gu is right. Throughout history, every genius who has become a top expert has been someone with both exceptional talent and a strong character."

Ning Fengzhi picked up the conversation and said firmly.

"Of course, if all of Xiao Yao's talents were revealed, especially his second martial soul that can help him absorb high-level spirit rings beyond his level, he would definitely be known as the number one genius on the continent."

Without the fatal disadvantage of easily exploding and dying from twin martial souls, such a genius is truly terrifying.

The future prosperity of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School may very well rest entirely on this little fellow.

"Now, it's our sect's turn to increase investment. We'll upgrade the supply of cultivation resources for Xiao Yao to the highest level."

At the same time, his parents, who had always been well cared for, were also given corresponding cultivation resources.

I believe that every investment we make in him now will be rewarded a hundredfold or a thousandfold in the future.

I can't wait to see this little guy grow up quickly!

Ning Fengzhi's eyes shone with anticipation, filled with confidence in Lin Yao's future.

"I agree. Back then, Tang Hao emerged from nowhere by sacrificing a 100,000-year soul ring."

Not only did he break the record for the time it took to break through to the Title Douluo level, but he also, immediately after breaking through, killed a Super Douluo amidst heavy encirclement.

Chen Xin nodded, a hint of reminiscence in her expression.

"With Xiao Yao's talent, even without that 100,000-year soul ring, he is fully capable of being comparable to Tang Hao, and may even outperform Tang Hao at the same age."

"A 100,000-year soul ring is not out of reach; we still have a chance to obtain one for Xiao Yao."

Although the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python in the Star Dou Great Forest are not to be trifled with, provoking them might attract even more terrifying beings.

When Gu Rong mentioned the hidden existences of the Star Dou Great Forest, a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes. He stopped short of elaborating and then changed the subject.

"But with our two old bones, we are confident that when Xiao Yao grows up, we can help him hunt a 100,000-year-old soul beast on the ocean and obtain a 100,000-year-old soul ring."

"Haha, that's a great idea. I never expected that you and I, who usually seem to be at odds, would be so devoted to my disciple and plan so far ahead for him."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and then he burst into laughter.

"I'm not just doing this for your disciple, but more for Rongrong's sake."

Gu Rong rolled her eyes at Chen Xin and said seriously.

"To be honest, we old guys will grow old one day, and this world will eventually belong to Rongrong's generation."

The stronger Xiao Yao becomes, the more carefree Rong Rong will be when she takes over as sect leader, unlike Feng Zhi who has to worry himself sick over the sect's affairs.

As the old generation replaces the new, Gu Rong knew that although he could protect Ning Rongrong for a time, he could not protect her forever.

Only someone of Lin Yao's age and with great strength can truly become Ning Rongrong's solid support in the future.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi were both filled with emotion and deeply agreed, nodding in unison.

Unbeknownst to them, in the hearts of these three elders, Lin Yao had already been groomed to be Ning Rongrong's "childhood sweetheart".

After recounting Lin Yao's story, Chen Xin then focused on telling Ning Fengzhi about his encounter with Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, and Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan.

As a Poison Douluo, Chen Xin was helpless to deal with his granddaughter's poisoning, a situation that left a deep impression on him.

He thought to himself that if he could approach it from this angle, he might have a chance to win over this titled Douluo, who was known for his poison and had extremely strong area-of-effect damage, for his sect.

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, lost in thought. After a moment, he slowly spoke:

"Unexpectedly, the Jade Scale Serpent had to go through such a tribulation when it transformed into the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King."

No wonder most of Dugu Bo's descendants died young, leaving only Dugu Yan as the sole survivor. It seems this is due to a flaw in his martial soul.

"A flaw in your martial soul? How is Dugu Yan's poisoning related to a flaw in her martial soul?"

Gu Rong was completely baffled by Ning Fengzhi's deduction.

In his view, Dugu Yan's poisoning might also be due to a hidden ailment that even the Poison Douluo found difficult to treat.

"Judging from Uncle Jian's description and Dugu Bo's reaction, this is clearly a chain reaction caused by the transformation of their family's martial soul."

Ning Fengzhi explained patiently.

"The evolution of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent into the Azure Phosphorus Serpent King results in an overwhelming increase in its venom properties."

Without the restraint of a powerful being of the same level, this poison could completely destroy a city and a country, just like those powerful poisonous beasts that have evolved from ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts to one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

However, soul beasts possess powerful physical bodies, soul rings, and even soul bones, and can store toxins within their bodies, while human soul masters' bodies are relatively too fragile.

Perhaps it is precisely because Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan lack a powerful treasure like a soul bone, which prevents them from properly storing their toxins within their bodies, that they are experiencing the symptoms of poisoning they are currently suffering from.

Ning Fengzhi's analysis was clear, logical, and well-founded, causing both Title Douluo Chen Xin and Gu Rong to fall into deep thought.

Recalling his encounter with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan today, and combining this with Ning Fengzhi's judgment, Chen Xin felt it made even more sense, and couldn't help but speak up:

"If we inspire Dugu Bo from this perspective, and give him another soul bone, and also give his granddaughter a soul bone."

"Given all this effort, is it possible to get this Title Douluo to fully join our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and become a guest elder?"

Soul bones are extremely precious and priceless, but if you could use two soul bones, along with the idea of ​​mixing poison into the soul bones, to gain the loyalty of a Poison Douluo with powerful area-of-effect killing power and deterrent force, that would definitely be a profitable deal.

However, Ning Fengzhi shook his head, rejecting the suggestion:

"This matter is not that simple. In the end, the existence of a soul bone in a human soul master and the existence of a soul beast are two completely different things."

Even if a Soul Master absorbs a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone early on when they are a Soul King, the Soul Bone will not evolve into a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone once they reach the level of a Title Douluo. Soul Beasts, on the other hand, are the opposite.

Therefore, the method of infusing toxins into the soul bone is ultimately only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause.

While it could be used to temporarily appease Dugu Bo, once its limit was reached, the explosion of the soul bone, subjected to a massive amount of toxins, would be far beyond what any human soul master could withstand.

Ning Fengzhi paused, sighed, and then said:

"Unless you encounter a rare and precious treasure like an external soul bone."

External soul bones can accompany a soul master's growth, and their rarity is second only to 100,000-year soul rings and 100,000-year soul bones.

Theoretically, only an externally attached soul bone could possibly resolve the toxin poisoning problem inherited by the Dugu Bo family.

"Alas, such rare treasures as external soul bones are not only hard to come by, but once absorbed, they are extremely difficult for outsiders to obtain again."

Moreover, it's simply impossible to produce two external soul bones at once.

Ning Fengzhi sighed helplessly.

"It seems that the plan to win over Dugu Bo will have to be postponed for now. Right now, the most important thing is to wait for Xiao Yao to grow up."

"We shouldn't attract too much attention from major powers just because of the addition of a Title Douluo, lest it bring unnecessary trouble to our sect."

As Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School fell silent for a moment.

Chen Xin and Gu Rong listened to Ning Fengzhi analyze so much key information with such meticulous detail under limited conditions, and felt both admiration and emotion.

As expected of a sect leader who could make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School more prosperous and powerful even when the Clear Sky Sect, the leader of the three upper sects, retired, the Spirit Hall lost its checks and balances, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect gradually declined.

His vision and strategy are among the best in mainland China.
