Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Although Lin Yao is young, belonging to the younger generation on the continent, his strength is undeniable, and he is still the master of the Sea God Pavilion.

When such an important figure announced that he would be taking on apprentices, the news spread throughout the entire Shrek Academy in an instant.

Like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

From the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, from classrooms to the canteen, from dormitories to training grounds, everyone was talking about the same topic—the Sea God Pavilion Master was taking on disciples.

Of course, the students from the School of Foreign Languages ​​could only join in the fun.

Those young men and women whose soul power was only at level 20 or 30, although they longed for it, also knew that the distance between them and that threshold was like an insurmountable chasm.

The most important thing was the inner courtyard; this news caused a huge sensation throughout the entire inner courtyard.

If one could become the disciple of such a top expert, one would definitely have the strongest backer and the best cultivation resources.

Although one may have to bear the frustration of having a mentor who is far more talented than oneself, that sense of disparity can indeed be quite disheartening.

However, compared to the corresponding gains, this trouble is nothing.

This is the thought in the minds of many first-year students who have only recently entered the Inner Court.

They were in the prime of their lives, each believing themselves to be the chosen ones, with the potential to be the one selected.

At this moment, Di Niqiu was also overjoyed and determined to win.

She sat on a blue stone by the lake on Poseidon Island, her long golden hair swaying gently in the breeze, and her bright golden eyes sparkling with anticipation.

She came here under the subtle guidance of fate.

Thinking back to her extraordinary encounter with Lin Yao in the Star Dou Great Forest, she could clearly feel the rich power of destiny emanating from him.

That power is of the same origin as the power of destiny she wields as an imperial mythical beast, yet it is far more vast and profound.

Unexpectedly, after arriving at Shrek Academy, he discovered that the power of destiny within him had become even more terrifying, as if the fortune of the entire world was converging on him.

At this point, Di Niqiu's interest in Lin Yao grew even stronger.

Unfortunately, there was no way to get close to it. She once tried to force her way into the Sea God's Pavilion, but was blocked by the invisible barrier.

She also tried to sneak in at night, but found that the security on Poseidon Island was shockingly tight.

Now that she has this opportunity to take on a disciple, she naturally longs for it. If she becomes Lin Yao's disciple, wouldn't she be able to get close to him legitimately?

Ning Tian and Wu Feng, who entered the inner courtyard together, had different emotions.

Ning Tian stood under the corridor of Poseidon Island, gazing at the shimmering lake, his heart filled with countless emotions.

She marveled at how quickly Lin Yao had grown.

Before the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School could even win over this top genius, he instantly became the Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy, a power no less than, or even stronger than, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

It should be noted that although the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is one of the three upper sects, it still lags behind Shrek Academy, a behemoth with a history of tens of thousands of years, in terms of both top-tier combat power and overall foundation.

It was because of this relationship, and in order to deepen their feelings for each other, that Ning Tian brought Wu Feng into the inner courtyard.

Normally, the members of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School who come to Shrek Academy are especially the direct descendants who possess the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Often, after befriending a genius, they would return to their sect and gradually take over family affairs.

However, Lin Yao's value is now too great. Ning Tian can sense that everyone in the sect, whether it's his own sect leader father or the other elders, is willing for him to stay at Shrek Academy for a few more years to strengthen their bonds.

Because of this relationship, if the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School were to encounter a crisis, the Sea God Pavilion Master could lend a helping hand and perhaps avert a catastrophic disaster.

As for Wu Feng, she stood behind Ning Tian, ​​looking at the somewhat dazed young master, and then at all the female students in the audience who had seen Lin Yao before, who were all in an uproar.

Some of them had flushed cheeks, some had shining eyes, and some were excitedly whispering to each other, all seemingly eager to seize this opportunity to rise to the top.

A sense of powerlessness welled up in Wu Feng's heart.

Despite the significant gap between himself and Lin Yao during the initial freshman assessment, Wu Feng was still confident that he could catch up.

She possesses a red dragon martial soul and is exceptionally talented, making her a highly regarded genius within her family.

Unexpectedly, after several years, he was now only at the Soul King level, while Lin Yao had become a terrifying existence at the Title Douluo level or above.

Is this the tragedy of how top geniuses of the same era interact? That guy shouldn't even be twenty years old yet, right?

This is so disheartening.

He once harbored thoughts of fighting, but now Wu Feng only feels powerless.

Many simply went with the flow, following their young master. At least, their young master had a past relationship with Lin Yao, and they could benefit from it.

Only Wang Dong'er sat blankly in the corner, the trident rune on her forehead flickering faintly, her condition abnormal.

Her eyes were sometimes clear, sometimes confused, as if two consciousnesses were vying for dominance in her mind.

She didn't know why she suddenly had such a strong urge to sign up and become an apprentice.

That impulse seemed not to come from her own heart, but from some higher being.

……

Far away in the realm of gods, King Tang sat in his temple, his gaze passing through his daughter and landing on the young man named Lin Yao.

He saw that Lin Yao possessed the combat power of a Limit Douluo at such a young age, saw his cultivation speed that far exceeded that of ordinary people, and saw his unfathomable potential.

A complex emotion flashed through Tang Shenwang's mind.

He remembered that back in Douluo Continent, before he turned twenty, he was only at the level of Soul King or Soul Emperor.

He later received the inheritance of the Sea God and the Asura God, and only broke through to the Title Douluo level in his twenties. After going through many hardships, he finally became a god.

And this young man before us, without any divine inheritance, has actually reached such a height.

This talent is simply astonishing.

Tang San knew that if Lin Yao were his contemporary, he would have been completely outmatched by such a genius.

A sense of apprehension arose in his heart.

Fortunately, I had already gotten up there first, and I was stuck in traffic up there.

He was also fairly confident that he could bring such a genius under his wing.

After all, he was the enforcer of the divine realm, the successor of the Sea God and the Asura God, and he had that confidence.

At the same time, Tang San was wary of Lin Yao's unparalleled talent and growth rate, knowing that if such talent could not be put to use, it would become a great threat.

Due to the checks and balances among factions in the divine realm, Tang San was unable to directly descend to the mortal world to intervene.

The divine realm has its own rules; deities are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the mortal realm at will, otherwise it will cause chaos in the divine realm's order.

He was unwilling to tarnish the saintly image he had painstakingly cultivated, thus missing the opportunity to win over neutral factions to oppose the God of Destruction.

Just as he was pondering this, he realized the opportunity for Lin Yao to take on a disciple, and a plan immediately formed in his mind.

Using the trident of the sea god residing in Wang Dong'er's body, he secretly exerted a soul influence, urging Wang Dong'er to sign up to become his disciple.

His plan was to wait until Wang Dong'er and Lin Yao spent a lot of time together and developed a bond, then seize the opportunity to infiltrate his power, control Lin Yao, and bring him under his wing.

In this way, he could both win over this genius and avoid damaging his own image.

……

When Wang Dong'er came to her senses, a look of confusion flashed in her eyes.

She shook her head, trying to dispel the inexplicable impulse in her mind, only to find that the impulse had transformed into a firm resolve. She took a deep breath and walked towards the registration desk first: "I want to register."

Di Niqiu followed closely behind, her voice clear and firm: "I'll sign up too."

Students from all classes eagerly vied for the opportunity. Whether it was the female students yearning to be close to the strong or the male students seeking top-tier resources and shortcuts to cultivation, all were highly motivated. Dai Huabin and others were especially hopeful, wanting to use their master-disciple relationship to leap over the dragon gate—they knew this might be the best chance to change their destiny.

The Contra instructor quelled the noise by announcing the enrollment requirements: "Under twenty years old, with a Soul Power of Soul King or above."

This condition instantly eliminated most of the students. Those whose soul power was still hovering around the Soul Venerable or Soul Sect level could only sigh and retreat to their seats. Only Wang Dong'er, Dai Huabin, Ning Tian, ​​and Xie Huanyue from the seventh grade met the standard, while Di Niqiu stood out with her rare Soul Emperor cultivation level—her strength as an eighteen-year-old Soul Emperor was beyond the reach of everyone else.

The rejected students complained about the unfairness, but the teacher sternly refuted them by pointing out the difference in cultivation levels among the geniuses: "You didn't work hard in your own cultivation, so who can you blame? When the sect leader accepts disciples, he naturally wants to accept the most outstanding geniuses! If you are not satisfied, go back and cultivate hard, and come back when you reach the standard!" The qualified students then lined up to register.

The atmosphere in the third year of the inner courtyard was completely different.

Beibei sat by the window, gazing absently at the leaves of the old locust tree swaying in the wind. He had witnessed Lin Yao's crushing defeat of Du Busi, displaying his ultimate combat power, and had come to fully realize the insurmountable gap between himself and Lin Yao. He had once thought that as Elder Mu's direct descendant, his talent was already exceptional enough. But after seeing Lin Yao, he understood what a true genius was. His obsession with catching up with Lin Yao shattered completely at that moment. Only a profound sense of loss remained in his heart.

Xu Sanshi, standing to the side with his legs crossed and a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, muttered indistinctly, "Hmph, so what if he got lucky? What's so great about that..."

Before he could finish speaking, the classmate next to him tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Sanshi, are you crazy? That's the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion! If what you said gets back to him, you'll be in big trouble!"

Xu Sanshi's face turned pale instantly, and he quickly shut his mouth, daring not to say anything more.

Tang Ya, a second-year student in the inner courtyard, also volunteered. Her idea was simple—she wanted to use this opportunity to become Lin Yao's disciple and personally thank him for avenging her Tang Clan. The dark days when the Tang Clan was wiped out were a permanent pain in her heart. Lin Yao had avenged her, making those murderers pay the price they deserved. She would always remember this kindness. At the same time, she also wanted to use this opportunity to motivate herself to strive for excellence and not let the Tang Clan's name decline in her hands.

Soon, the Inner Academy compiled a list of nearly thirty applicants. All of them were Soul Kings or Soul Emperors under the age of twenty, each one a standout among their peers.

Lin Yao sat in the study of the Sea God Pavilion, flipping through the list. His gaze slowly swept over the familiar names—Wang Dong'er, Di Niqiu, Ning Tian, ​​Dai Huabin, Xie Huanyue, Tang Ya… He sighed, his former classmates had all become top geniuses. However, because of the Star Palace, he had transcended the level of genius much earlier and become a powerful figure wielding great authority.

At the same time, he also saw through Tang San's scheme behind Wang Dong'er's return to women's clothing. A deep light flashed in his eyes, but he didn't reveal it, deciding to observe quietly. He wanted to see what tricks that high and mighty God King was up to.

He finalized the selection rules for the points-based combat competition, already certain of the outcome—only Di Niqiu possessed true top-tier combat power; the rest of the participants were utterly insignificant. Ultimately, Di Niqiu, with her terrifying Golden Dragon bloodline and the Golden Dragon Spear, was simply too formidable. This selection competition would undoubtedly be her solo showcase. He would only provide resource support to the other students as appropriate, with no intention of taking them as disciples.

Anyway, it didn't matter. What Lin Yao valued more was the reason why Di Niqiu came to the Sea God Pavilion. He also wanted to use Di Niqiu to connect with God Heaven and even the Silver Dragon King behind him to see if they could discuss the possibility of humans and soul beasts cooperating to start building a new power system that combined his concept of a spirit transmission system with the Pokémon capture system and even a contract beast system.

Lin Yao, now possessing power systems from Digimon's WarGreymon, Pokémon's Groudon, and Yu-Gi-Oh!'s Devilmon through the Star Palace, has a deep understanding of power systems. Even without the powerful Light and Undead systems from the Divine Seal World provided by Electrox, he could still vaguely grasp this path—although it took some time. But with Electrox's help, the process would undoubtedly be greatly accelerated.

After handling the matters related to accepting disciples, Lin Yao presided over the first high-level meeting of the Sea God Pavilion since Elder Mu's passing and the entire Shrek Academy underwent a thorough cleansing from top to bottom. All the elders and department heads were present, and the spacious conference room was packed.

At the start of the meeting, everyone was still immersed in the sadness of remembering Elder Mu—the old man had dedicated his life to Shrek Academy, and his passing had caused everyone deep sorrow. At the same time, they were also amazed by Lin Yao's decisive and powerful methods—this young leader's methods were far more ruthless than they had imagined.

Only when Lin Yao sat upright at the head of the table and spoke calmly did everyone calm down and respectfully obey his orders.

Lin Yao once again announced the two major system reforms of Shrek Academy.

First, the Shrek Academy's oversight team will no longer undertake the task of eliminating evil from low-ranking officials, nobles, and Soul Masters in the Douluo Three Kingdoms; instead, it will supervise and urge the three kingdoms to handle such matters themselves. Second, the rigid requirement that Inner Academy students must complete thirty oversight missions before graduation has been abolished.

Elder Xuan was the first to raise an objection. He stood up, his beard and hair bristling, and said in a booming voice, "Sect Master! The life-and-death surveillance missions are crucial for honing the trainees' skills and unleashing their potential! If these missions are canceled, the trainees will lack practical experience. How will they cope with real battles in the future?"

Lin Yao directly refuted him, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable power: "Elder Xuan, top-tier martial soul talent is innate, requiring no life-or-death trials to cultivate. Moreover, high-risk missions do more harm than good, a losing proposition. Over the years, how many of our talented students have perished in those missions? They could have grown into Title Douluos, becoming pillars of Shrek Academy, but because of those unnecessary risks, they died young."

His gaze swept across the entire room as he continued, "Instead of letting them take unnecessary risks at the Soul King and Soul Emperor levels, it would be better to wait until they break through to the Soul Saint or even Soul Douluo realms before eliminating those evil Soul Masters or other forces' black gloves that are harming all sides. At that time, they will have enough strength to more effectively eliminate their enemies and better protect themselves."

The veteran elders instantly grasped the profound meaning of the new policy. Currently, the Sun Moon Empire is plotting war, its military might growing ever stronger. The three kingdoms of Douluo are weak, fragmented by sectarian divisions, and morale low, utterly powerless to resist the unified imperial power and concentrated military strength of the Sun Moon Empire. To protect themselves, the three kingdoms will inevitably rely heavily on Shrek Academy's top-tier combat forces. Implementing the new policy under this chaotic opportunity is to recover the mid-level student force that Shrek Academy has been massively depleting, increasing their survival rate and enhancing Shrek Academy's overall combat strength.

However, such a change would make things even more difficult for the higher-ups at Shrek Academy, including those at the Soul Douluo and Title Douluo levels. No one had made any changes before, not even Mu En. But Lin Yao did. And Lin Yao was too young, too strong, too talented, and too promising—even reaching godhood in the future wasn't impossible. With this prestige and terrifying strength, no one in Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion dared to oppose him.

Lin Yao further analyzed the situation: "Xingluo and Tianhun are facing pressure from the borders of the Sun Moon Empire. Among them, Xingluo Empire has no top sects to support it, so it is in the most critical situation and most likely to compromise; Tianhun has the support of the Body Sect and the geographical barrier of Douling, so it is highly likely that it will hesitate."

At the same time, he revealed his long-term plan: "Only in dire straits can filth be cleansed. Shrek Academy must also learn to transform gradually. Whether it is to unite the forces of many soul masters like the Spirit Hall, which was high and mighty in the past, or to establish a federal force belonging to Shrek, to complete a true reshuffle and integrate the forces of all soul masters and civilians—it requires a clear positioning, and it is even more necessary to make all parties feel the pain of the reshuffle in order to truly implement it."

His voice gradually turned cold: "The Sun Moon Empire is now preparing to unify the continent, which is both a crisis and an opportunity. It is an opportunity for Shrek Academy to forge its own unique path. I don't want anyone standing in my way—if anyone does, I will crush them easily. Don't say I didn't warn you."

Hearing Lin Yao's domineering, authoritative, and ambitious words, the elders' expressions varied. Some were vaguely worried about the changes, wondering if Shrek Academy's transformation was too drastic; others admired Lin Yao's talent and ambition, befitting his youth. Many wanted to object, but Lin Yao's strength was too great—too great for his age. Opposition would be tantamount to making an example of him. Lin Yao had already given them a chance during the previous purges. If they were to speak out now, it would be used against them. Therefore, the vast majority who agreed, and a small minority who disagreed, bowed and responded to Lin Yao's plan to truly transform Shrek Academy into a greater institution.

The meeting concluded, and everyone went about their respective duties to implement the new policies. Lin Yao, meanwhile, secluded himself in the underground chambers of the Sea God Pavilion, focusing intently on the power within his body. He prepared to research a new path for the Soul Masters and Soul Beasts of the Douluo World—perhaps it would be one Soul Beast per generation, where the beast would remain even after the human's death, thus greatly enhancing their potential. Only in this way, by combining the power to quell the chaos and unify the entire Douluo Star to establish a Federation, could the power of the entire Douluo Star be maximized.

Lin Yao, who gained faith in this world, was also able to explore the so-called "divinity" within that faith.

In the following days, the selection competition for the disciples of the Sea God Pavilion Master was in full swing.

The training ground was bustling with noise. Elder Xuan and a group of teachers and senior elders sat in the arena, their eyes sharp as they scrutinized the performance of each participant.

Although Lin Yao's peers were among the more outstanding talents at Shrek Academy, they were still far inferior to Di Niqiu, who possessed the Golden Dragon Martial Soul and the Golden Dragon Spear.

Those students who usually considered themselves geniuses were as fragile as paper in front of Di Niqiu, utterly vulnerable.

In the end, only two figures remained on the training ground.

Di Niqiu, brimming with fighting spirit and exuding an overbearing aura, and Wang Dong'er, composed and calm, with the trident rune on her forehead faintly shimmering.

Two top geniuses are facing off from afar.
