Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Chapter 131 The Serpent Spear Douluo's Helplessness, 9 Treasures

The Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, the Crown Prince's Residence.

Serpent Spear Douluo was speaking cautiously to a figure, reporting the intelligence he had gathered over the past period.

The person who could make a Title Douluo speak so cautiously was naturally not someone from the Heaven Dou Royal Family, but Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe.

At this moment, Qian Renxue was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, her black hair tied up with a jade crown, looking heroic and dashing.

However, after hearing what the Serpent Spear Douluo said about Lin Yao, the gentleness in his eyes faded considerably.

Her fingertips lightly rested on the edge of the rosewood armrest, her gaze wandering, and her tone carried a barely perceptible urgency as she spoke:

"Uncle Snake Spear, did Xiao Yao encounter a Title Douluo, a Fallen Soul Master, in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

When she mentioned the words "Fallen Soul Master Title Douluo," she leaned forward slightly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

After all, Lin Yao was only a Soul Emperor. Encountering a Title Douluo Fallen Soul Master in a place like the Star Dou Great Forest posed a considerable risk.

Upon hearing this, Serpent Spear Douluo nodded, his voice daring not to slacken in the slightest:

"Your Highness, a Fallen Soul Master Title Douluo has indeed appeared. Because of Chen Xin's appearance, I couldn't get too close, but I can roughly judge that Lin Yao should be fine."

He paused, then, based on the information he already possessed, stated his judgment:

"Judging from the battle fluctuations I sensed at the time, the battle was resolved quickly, and there were also extremely strong power fluctuations."

It must have been Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who was hiding behind them, who, upon sensing danger, intervened and eliminated the fallen Soul Master Title Douluo, preventing the situation from escalating.

In fact, this judgment was not far off, but even the Serpent Spear Douluo could not have imagined that Lin Yao could unleash the strength of a Title Douluo with the cultivation of a Soul Emperor.

Before Chen Xin could even arrive and make a move, the fallen Soul Master Title Douluo was killed by Lin Yao.

If they knew, they would probably be utterly shocked.

"Is that so? I'm glad Xiao Yao is alright."

As for Qian Renxue, she didn't care about the details when she heard these words. She only breathed a sigh of relief after noticing that Lin Yao was alright.

She didn't know why she was so nervous, so nervous about someone.

Perhaps, she just didn't want her beloved younger brother to get hurt.

But after confirming that the person she cared about most was safe and sound, Qian Renxue seemed to have thought of something else, and the worry in her eyes was replaced by coldness.

"Those rats hiding in the shadows are getting more and more audacious."

The Judgment Hall had previously conducted several rounds of clean-up operations, but those who escaped either hid in the Killing City or disappeared without a trace.

Now, how dare they be so audacious as to stir up trouble and attack Xiao Yao? They simply don't take the Qian family seriously at all.

She raised her hand and pressed it against the armrest, her tone suddenly becoming more forceful:

"Once I have completely taken control of the Heaven Dou Empire and integrated the power of the Spirit Hall, I will definitely drag out these fallen soul masters one by one and make them pay a bloody price."

A chilling killing intent spread with the words, and even the candlelight not far away seemed to be affected, flickering violently.

Sensing the intense emotions within Qian Renxue, Serpent Spear Douluo was startled and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

This is very wrong.

I wonder what's so special about that kid from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He just seems to have a bit more talent.

Why is His Highness so obviously concerned about this boy, and why does he often use such an affectionate term as "Little Yao" in their conversations?

This is nothing like the powerful young master who came to the Heaven Dou Empire alone as an undercover agent at such a young age.

Could this be the power of liking?

Thinking this, Serpent Spear Douluo secretly raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the lingering worry in Qian Renxue's eyes when she lowered them, which made his thoughts even more certain.

Qian Renxue's feelings for Lin Yao might not be as simple as just wanting to take him under her wing; she might genuinely have feelings for him.

However, the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have always maintained a facade of harmony while harboring deep-seated animosity. The fact that they haven't erupted into a life-or-death conflict in the past is a result of the checks and balances between the parties.

But now that the young master has fallen for Lin Yao, if this feeling is exposed, not only will there be criticism within the Spirit Hall, but even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will likely face more changes.

How should we handle this relationship from now on? Are we just going to watch the young master ruin all his plans because of a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

Serpent Spear Douluo clenched his fist, feeling a chill run down his spine.

His ability to break through to the Title Douluo level with his Serpent Spear makes him one of the top 99% of Soul Masters on the continent, and he has never backed down in the face of powerful enemies.

But now, dealing with the young master's tangled and complicated thoughts is even more troublesome than dealing with ten titled Douluo.

Qian Renxue was unaware of the strangeness in her uncle who was protecting her. Her thoughts were wandering, her eyes were unfocused, and she seemed lost in thought.

……

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

These past few days, Lin Yao has been living a very peaceful life at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Besides spending his days chatting with his parents, he would occasionally go to the sect's martial arts arena to give a few pointers on the cultivation of the younger disciples.

Occasionally, I would spar with my father, exchanging our understanding of the use of sword spirits, and I would also help my mother organize her favorite herbs.

For a time, the whole family was very happy.

Lin Yao also felt more relaxed than ever before. Having such a peaceful time made Lin Yao feel more at ease.

……

That morning, Lin Yao heard a familiar commotion coming from outside the courtyard, especially two somewhat familiar voices, and his expression changed slightly.

They are all acquaintances

First, there's Ma Hongjun, whom I had previously subdued because of my connection with Ma Xiaotao in the world of Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect.

Secondly, Oscar later felt powerless and wanted to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Sure enough, the next second Ma Hongjun barged in with messy red hair and crumbs of pastry on his face:

"Brother Lin Yao, I'm sorry to bother you. Sister Rongrong said you've been spending the last few days with your parents, but it seems there's something important going on in the main hall right now."

Oscar, standing to the side, was more proper, carrying two boxes of candy he'd brought back from Soto, and added with a smile:

"Yes, Boss Lin Yao, Sect Master Ning, please allow us to go over there."

Lin Yao shook his head helplessly, brushed the medicine crumbs off his hands, and followed the two toward the Seven Treasures Hall.

As soon as Lin Yao stepped into the main hall, he sensed that the atmosphere was different.

Besides Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin, the Gaishi Dragon and Snake couple, as well as Meng Yiran, also stood in the hall.

Ning Fengzhi smiled and raised his hand to signal them as they entered:

"Xiao Yao, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, you're here, come in quickly."

"Okay, Uncle Ning."

Lin Yao nodded in response and led Ma Hongjun and Oscar into the main hall, standing beside Ning Rongrong.

As for the couple Gaishi Longshe and Meng Yiran nodding and greeting Lin Yao, Lin Yao simply nodded in response.

At this moment, Long Gong Meng Shu spoke next, addressing Ning Fengzhi:

"Sect Leader Ning, let's get down to business. A few days ago, during our battle with the evil Soul Master Soul Douluo, it was Sword Douluo who saved us. He has done us a great favor."

"Afterwards, my husband and I were still recovering from our injuries, and we are very grateful to your esteemed sect for taking us in and recuperating. Now we have made up our minds and wish to bring our granddaughter to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. We wonder if the sect leader would be willing to accept us?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed with a smile, and he picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Dragon Lord and Snake Lady, we would be delighted if you were willing to bring your granddaughter to join our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Ning Fengzhi would naturally not refuse a combination whose martial soul fusion skill was comparable to that of a Title Douluo.

This is a rare fighting force.

The reason why Soul Douluo was so embarrassed when facing the evil Soul Master before.

Aside from the fact that evil spirit masters, once they reach a high level, possess unpredictable and ever-changing combat abilities, their strength far surpasses that of others of the same level.

Also, the evil spirit master had launched a sneak attack on the snake woman first.

Otherwise, with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill comparable to a Title Douluo, even a Soul Douluo-level Evil Soul Master wouldn't dare to offend them casually.

Thinking this, Ning Fengzhi paused, his gaze sweeping over Ma Hongjun and Oscar, who immediately expressed their intention to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

As for why Lin Yao was summoned, it was because Lin Yao is now a core member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Ning Fengzhi wanted him to be more involved in the core affairs of the sect.

Having witnessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, a sect he respected, grow stronger, Lin Yao also noticed the expressions of the people who had joined the sect.

Although the Dragon and Snake couple were interested in joining, they still had some concerns. It seems we need to reassure them.

Meanwhile, this was part of the previous plan, so it can be considered a gift. It's an investment in advance, and I hope to get a return later.

While pondering, Lin Yao took out a jade box from his storage soul tool and gently placed it on the table.

The moment the jade box was opened, a scorching heat rushed out, and inside lay a red immortal herb shaped like a rooster's comb.

The petals were still surrounded by a faint glow of flames; it was a cockscomb phoenix sunflower specially prepared for Ma Hongjun.

"Hongjun, take this cockscomb phoenix sunflower."

Lin Yao handed over the jade box.

"It can help you purify your flames and completely remove the evil fire from your body. You won't have to suffer from the backlash of evil fire anymore. Don't let me down."

Because of his relationship with Ma Xiaotao in the world of peerless martial arts, he has given her so much help.

If Ma Hongjun doesn't cherish this opportunity and follows the same old path as in the original story—having the power and hope to change things through hard work, yet still placing all his hopes on others—then he can't blame himself.

It can be said that Ma Hongjun in the original work, though exceptionally gifted, transformed from a pheasant into a phoenix.

However, without immortal herbs and the opportunity presented by the Sea God, it is very difficult to break through to the Soul Saint level, let alone the Soul Douluo or even the Title Douluo level.

After all, given Ma Hongjun's personality, he couldn't control his inner rage once it flared up.

With these immortal herbs, and the old habits he developed during the Five Elements Seal, Ma Hongjun's growth rate truly got on the right track.

Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take it, but Oscar tugged at his sleeve:

"Slow down, don't ruin the magic herb."

He chuckled, carefully took the jade box, his fingers trembling slightly as he touched it.

"Boss Lin Yao, thank you."

Lin Yao's previous Five Elements Seal had only temporarily eased the evil fire within him, so Ma Hongjun naturally believed Lin Yao's words.

Without hesitation, he believed that this magical herb could completely resolve his evil fire, and at the same time, his respect for Lin Yao was second only to that for Flander, whom he regarded as his father.

Snake Granny Chaotianxiang was alright; she just watched Lin Yao and Ma Hongjun's conversation with curiosity.

However, Meng Shu, who possessed the strength of a Contra Douluo, was able to sense the pure power within that immortal herb.

He knew in his heart that the young man in front of him, who held an important position in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, also possessed something extraordinary.

Ignoring the stares of the crowd, Lin Yao took out two more jade boxes and handed them to Oscar and Meng Yiran respectively.

"Oscar, take this ancient ginseng. It can strengthen your foundation and help you break through the cultivation bottleneck of a food-type soul master. The sausages you make in the future will be even more effective."

Seeing that he also had one, Oscar's initial jealousy towards Ma Hongjun disappeared, replaced by gratitude that Lin Yao also valued him, someone who had previously refused his invitation.

Upon receiving the jade box and opening it, I was astonished to find the ginseng king inside was entirely golden, with glistening dewdrops clinging to its roots.

"This is the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King? Thank you, Boss Lin Yao. I will work hard to cultivate and repay your kindness in giving me this medicine. I won't let you down."

Lin Yao then turned to Meng Yiran and handed her another jade box:

"Meng Yiran, this Spirit Serpent Fruit is suitable for you."

It can increase your affinity for snakes, strengthen your snake staff martial soul, and also help you increase your soul power.

"You just broke through to the Soul Master realm, so this is a good opportunity to stabilize your cultivation."

"Such an amazing treasure...

Upon hearing this, Meng Yiran, who was initially stunned, did not expect that she had such a thing. She felt that it was an exaggeration, and the effect seemed even more terrifying than a soul bone.

Hesitantly, he took the jade box. Upon opening it, a faint fragrance of herbs and trees wafted to his nose. The fruit inside the jade box glowed with a faint green light, and its surface was covered with patterns resembling snake scales.

She looked up at Lin Yao, her eyes full of confusion:

"Why are you giving me this immortal herb? I've only just joined the sect and haven't accomplished anything yet. Is this some kind of perk for joining the sect?"

Compared to people like Ma Hongjun and Oscar who come from humble backgrounds, Meng Yiran, who has a grandfather who is a Soul Master, understands better that the Soul Master Continent is a cannibalistic world.

There is no such thing as kindness without a reason; there is only malice without a reason.

However, Meng Yiran is currently at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and in front of this young man, she feels a completely different sensation.

It completely contradicts my understanding.

Lin Yao smiled and spoke gently:

"The reason I gave you this magical herb is partly because of your grandparents, and partly because of your talent. But most importantly, I just give it to whoever I like."

Of course, while I give it to whoever I like, it's not a random choice. This immortal herb is very suitable for a snake-type martial soul genius like you.

Upon hearing Lin Yao's gentle and sincere words, Meng Yiran was slightly dazed and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing everyone accept the immortal herbs and prepare to consume them, Ning Rongrong was affected.

Adding to this the helplessness he felt when facing a Title Douluo, he felt utterly powerless to help his brother Lin Yao.

An idea came to her mind, and she immediately said, "Brother Lin Yao, I've changed my mind. Give me back the thing I kept with you."

"Huh, what do you mean?... "

Xiao Yao looked at Ning Rongrong, who tugged at his sleeve and said those words, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"Here's the thing, as I told you before, I wanted to wait until my soul power reached the Soul Sect level before consuming the Qiluo Tulip, and then close the gap a bit in one go, instead of letting you pull such a large distance behind me, right?"

"Yes, although this idea is a bit convoluted, it's not without its feasibility. I respect your idea."

Lin Yao replied with a smile.

"But, Brother Lin Yao, I've changed my mind now."

Ning Rongrong was incredibly serious at this moment, gripping Lin Yao's sleeve with unwavering determination in her eyes.

"Last time when we encountered the evil soul master titled Douluo, I could only hide in the back and couldn't properly assist you. That feeling of powerlessness was too painful. I want to become stronger as soon as possible and don't want to delay any longer."

Lin Yao's heart stirred slightly as he looked at her anxious expression.

Ning Rongrong has indeed changed a lot these days. She is no longer the pampered little princess she used to be, but has become more resilient.

He took out the immortal herb he had previously helped Ning Rongrong keep safe from his storage soul tool and handed it to her:

"I respect your idea and will always support you. You are currently at level 35 in soul power. After taking this, breaking through to level 40 will not be a problem. There will also be a big surprise, which may give you the foundation to become a true powerhouse in the future."

"Is it really that amazing?"

Ning Rongrong thought to herself, and excitedly accepted the jade box.

For the next half day, everyone sat cross-legged in the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, absorbing the immortal herbs.

As Ma Hongjun absorbed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, the temperature inside the secret chamber continued to rise, and the aura of flames seeped out from the cracks in the door, so much so that even the disciples outside could feel the scorching heat.

After he finished absorbing the nutrients, Ning Fengzhi, Meng Shu, Chao Tianxiang, and others who noticed his changes were all somewhat surprised.

At this moment, Ma Hongjun's previously somewhat bloated figure had become tall and slender.

Her red hair became smooth and shiny, and her face lost some of its childishness and gained more of a heroic air.

"I've broken through level 30."

Ma Hongjun shouted excitedly, raising his hand to release his martial spirit, and the phantom of a fire phoenix hovered in the air.

The flames were purer than before, and there was no trace of evil fire left.

On the other hand, after absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King, Oscar's soul power directly increased to level 36.

He tried making a restored sausage, which was brighter in color and had a richer aroma than before.

"Great! Now my sausages can regain more soul power."

He excitedly handed the sausage to Ma Hongjun, who was standing next to him.

"Give it a try, it works much better than before."

On the other side, seeing Ma Hongjun's amazing transformation and Oscar's improved strength, Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang were filled with anticipation for the benefits their granddaughter could gain.

Meng Yiran absorbed the Spirit Serpent Fruit little by little, and her soul power fluctuations slowly increased, unknowingly rising from level 31 to a terrifying level 37.

This promotion thrilled Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang.

Upon seeing Meng Yiran's completed upgrade, she opened her eyes, sat cross-legged on the ground, and summoned her Serpent Staff Martial Soul.

The serpent staff martial spirit among them was even more agile, and its eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

"Yiran, how are you now?"

The dragon and snake couple couldn't help but gather around and ask about Meng Yiran's current condition.

"Grandpa and Grandma, my soul power has greatly improved, and I can also feel that my martial soul has become more powerful, and my control over it has also become stronger."

Hearing her grandparents' question, Meng Yiran answered happily.

Seeing Meng Yiran so happy, Uncle Meng and Chao Tianxiang looked gratified.

Even Meng Shu, a Soul Douluo with extensive experience, couldn't help but mutter to himself upon witnessing the junior's rapid increase in strength:

"I didn't expect the Spirit Serpent Fruit to be so powerful. It was able to directly reach level 37 right after breaking through to Soul Master, and its Martial Soul was also strengthened."

Given the current situation, joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is truly the best choice for Yiran.

Chaotianxiang, however, had her own thoughts:

"Nothing else matters. What matters is that we can still grow together with so many geniuses, and their future achievements will definitely be greater than ours."

Moreover, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as their backing, they may not only reach realms we cannot attain, but also go further and further down this path.

"Really? I hope so!"

Long Gong Meng Shu murmured to himself.

Everyone received an improvement, but Ning Rongrong, who consumed the top-grade immortal herb Qiluo Tulip, naturally received an even more terrifying improvement.

As she absorbed the Qiluo Tulip, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but slowly stand up. Her martial soul unconsciously emerged, radiating a seven-colored light.

As the light faded, her Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda floated in her palm, its body now having two more layers, transforming into a Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

"Not only have I broken through to level 40, but my martial soul has also evolved, and it's even more terrifying than your Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, reaching the level of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Feeling the changes in herself, Ning Rongrong excitedly ran to Ning Fengzhi's side and handed the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda to her father.

Looking at the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda in his daughter's hand, Ning Fengzhi was still very excited, even though he was somewhat prepared. He reached out and ruffled Ning Rongrong's hair, saying:

"Okay, okay, Rongrong, you must cherish this opportunity, cherish the opportunity that your brother Lin Yao has given you."
