Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

The final round of the selection competition for the sect leader's disciple began at the Shrek Academy training ground.

The stands surrounding the training ground were packed with people.

Inner Academy students, outer Academy elites, instructors, and senior officials were all present.

Sunlight streamed onto the vast training ground, making the bluestone slabs on the ground slightly hot, and a tense and sweltering atmosphere filled the air.

All eyes were focused on the two figures in the center of the training ground.

Those who had lost before now stood on the sidelines, their faces filled with regret and resentment. They were only one step away from that supreme spot, yet they ultimately fell short. The status of a disciple personally taught by the Pavilion Master was extraordinary, far surpassing that of royal princes and princesses—it was an unparalleled opportunity to directly become a Super Douluo and dominate the continent, enough to make anyone fight desperately for it. Unfortunately, they still lost.

Now, only Di Niqiu and Wang Dong'er remain standing at the end.

Many inner court disciples were not surprised that Di Niqiu, a six-ring Soul Emperor, could stand at the end. Her announcement of her "eighteen-year-old Soul Emperor" strength in the cafeteria that day had already shocked everyone. In the subsequent rounds of selection, she swept aside her opponents with overwhelming force. Whether it was the offensive Dai Huabin or the defensive Xie Huanyue, neither could withstand more than a few rounds against her. Her strength had deeply impressed everyone.

But Wang Dong'er surprised many people.

Although Wang Dong'er was also a genius, she hadn't displayed particularly outstanding strength in the previous rounds of the competition. She always defeated her opponents with just the right amount of advantage, neither too much nor too little, just enough. Many people thought she would be eliminated in the semi-finals, but unexpectedly, she stumbled all the way to the end. It wasn't until the eve of the finals that she revealed her second martial soul—the Clear Sky Hammer—amidst the gasps of the crowd.

At that moment, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

Twin martial souls. And one of them is the Clear Sky Hammer, known as the "Number One Weapon Martial Soul in the World." This seemingly delicate girl is actually a member of the Clear Sky Sect—or at least has some connection with the Clear Sky Sect.

Di Niqiu stood at one end of the martial arts arena, her long golden hair fluttering gently in the breeze. She looked at her opponent, who had also made it to the end, a hint of surprise flashing in her golden eyes. She hadn't expected anyone in the entire arena to be able to contend with her until the very end. A powerful fighting spirit surged within her, burning like a raging fire in her chest, making her blood boil. She was determined to win that master-disciple spot at all costs.

Wang Dong'er stood at the other end of the training ground, equally filled with fighting spirit. She turned her head and glanced at Xiao Xiao in the stands—the girl with the ponytail was waving vigorously at her, her mouth opening and closing as if shouting "Go for it!" She then looked at the other classmates cheering her on, took a deep breath, and turned her gaze back to the blonde girl opposite her. She was determined to defeat that woman, determined to become Lin Yao's disciple—though she herself didn't understand why this thought was so strong.

Above the training ground, several figures stood suspended in mid-air. They were the teachers and elders of Shrek Academy, hovering high above, overlooking the battle below. Elder Xuan stood with his arms crossed, his eyes filled with keen interest; Cai Meier stood beside him, her eyes full of anticipation; the other elders were also whispering among themselves, discussing the merits and demerits of these two prodigies.

"Who do you think will win?" an elderly man with gray hair asked, stroking his beard.

"Hard to say." Another elder shook his head. "That Di Niqiu has a Golden Dragon Martial Soul, the ultimate power, and is a six-ring Soul Emperor. Her combat strength is unfathomable. That Wang Dong'er has twin Martial Souls, the Goddess of Light Butterfly and the Clear Sky Hammer. Although she is only a Soul King, the foundation of her twin Martial Souls should not be underestimated."

"Yes. Especially the Clear Sky Hammer... that was Tang Hao's martial soul back then. This girl's identity is probably not simple."

Everyone nodded in agreement. To survive until the final battle, Wang Dong'er had already revealed her twin martial souls. Possessing the Goddess of Light Butterfly and the Clear Sky Hammer, her identity was inextricably linked to the reclusive Clear Sky Sect. As for Di Niqiu, possessing the ultimate power of the Golden Dragon, she was a terrifying existence no less formidable than those with twin martial souls. Seeing such geniuses within the academy, everyone couldn't help but sigh—if it weren't for Lin Yao, these two exceptionally talented young women would likely be the most outstanding individuals of this generation.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a figure descended from the sky.

Lin Yao.

He was dressed in a magnificent black and gold robe, his figure extraordinary, his aura vast and boundless. He walked slowly through the void, each step seeming to tread upon the heartbeats of those around him. Sunlight outlined a golden silhouette behind him, making him appear like a deity descending. His gaze was calm and profound, as if it could see through all illusions.

He instantly drew everyone's attention. The female students in the stands gleamed with admiration, some even letting out soft gasps. The male students, on the other hand, were filled with awe; they knew that this young man, roughly their age, was already a peerless powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of the continent.

The moment Di Niqiu saw Lin Yao, the last trace of unease in her heart vanished. She didn't know why, but seeing this man always brought her a strange sense of peace. Watching his figure descend through the air, she was secretly amazed—he was more mature and stronger than when they met in the Star Dou Great Forest. His vast, ocean-like aura made her want to get closer.

As for Wang Dong'er, she looked at Lin Yao with mixed feelings. She didn't know why she so desperately wanted to become the disciple of the person before her, even at the cost of exposing her Clear Sky Hammer to advance to the finals. That impulse seemed to come from the depths of her soul, or perhaps from some higher guidance. She shook her head, casting those distracting thoughts aside—since she had already come this far, she would follow her instincts. She trusted her intuition.

Lin Yao stood above the training ground, quietly observing the crowd. His gaze swept across the entire arena, taking in everyone's expressions. He saw the excitement and anticipation gleaming in Di Niqiu's golden eyes, noticed her slightly clenched fist, and felt the surging fighting spirit within her. He inwardly praised her—truly worthy of being a mythical beast bearing the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest's soul beasts; her unparalleled beauty and figure, her innate noble bearing, were all a feast for the eyes.

He caught a glimpse of determination flashing across Wang Dong'er's bewildered expression, and she seemed lost in thought. He could sense the divine intervention within Wang Dong'er—the aura of the Trident of the Sea God, the will of the God Tang. He didn't reveal it, but kept his discovery to himself.

Then he spoke. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire training ground: "The decisive battle begins."

As soon as she finished speaking, Di Niqiu's figure shot towards Wang Dong'er like a golden lightning bolt!

Her speed was incredible; her footsteps even left spiderweb-like cracks in the bluestone slabs. Her right fist was clenched, golden soul power gathering within it, emitting a dazzling light. That punch, carrying the power to shatter mountains and split rocks, aimed straight at Wang Dong'er's face!

Wang Dong'er's pupils contracted sharply, but she didn't panic. Behind her, a pair of magnificent butterfly wings instantly unfurled—the Goddess of Light Butterfly! The wings were a dreamlike blue-purple, adorned with golden spots of light that refracted brilliantly in the sunlight. With a flap of her wings, her body floated backward like a light feather, while her hands rapidly formed hand seals.

"Fifth Soul Skill - Possession of the God of Light!"

A dazzling light erupted from her body, as if she were enveloped in a layer of golden flames, instantly elevating her aura to a new level. Her eyes shimmered with golden light, and her presence became sacred and solemn.

"A hexagram!"

She pushed her hands forward, and a huge golden six-pointed star array appeared before her, spinning rapidly. Countless golden beams shot out from the array, raining down on Di Niqiu like a storm. The beams carried a scorching heat, and the air hissed wherever they passed.

Di Niqiu showed no intention of dodging. She snorted coldly, and a layer of fine golden scales appeared on her body—the Golden Dragon Body! Her muscles bulged slightly, making her seem to grow taller, exuding a wild and domineering aura.

"break!"

She wielded the Golden Dragon Spear and thrust it forward! That simple, unadorned thrust carried a terrifying power seemingly capable of tearing through space itself. The golden beam of light shattered and dissipated like glass the instant it touched the spear tip. Di Niqiu's figure emerged from the rain of light, instantly appearing before Wang Dong'er, and swept her spear horizontally!

Wang Dong'er's expression changed, and she quickly folded her butterfly wings in front of her, forming a shield of light.

boom--! ! !

A dull, resounding thud. Wang Dong'er's figure flew backward like a kite with a broken string, tumbling several times in the air before barely regaining her balance. A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth, and her arms trembled slightly. The power of that attack far exceeded her expectations.

"So strong..." she gritted her teeth and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Di Niqiu did not pursue, but stood still, holding the Golden Dragon Spear, coldly looking at her: "If this is all you've got, then this is the end."

Wang Dong'er took a deep breath, her gaze hardening. She slowly extended her right hand, and a ball of black light condensed and expanded in her palm, eventually transforming into a massive black warhammer—the Haotian Hammer!

The warhammer was entirely black, its surface shimmering with a chilling light, seemingly capable of swallowing up the surrounding light. The moment the warhammer appeared, a heavy and domineering pressure spread outwards like a tidal wave!

"Haotian Domain!"

Wang Dong'er gripped the hammer handle with both hands and slammed it into the ground! Boom—!!! An invisible ripple spread outwards from her, causing the entire training ground to tremble slightly. An extremely powerful, high-quality suppressive force, like an invisible giant hand, enveloped the entire battlefield!

On the stands, the peripheral contestants were overwhelmed by the terrifying aura, their faces turning pale as they retreated. Even the titled Douluo-level elders high in the sky showed expressions of surprise.

"This is... the Haotian Domain?!" an elder exclaimed. "No, that's not right. Ordinary Haotian Domains don't have this kind of oppressive aura... This is a mutated Haotian Hammer!"

"Such powerful suppression! This girl's Clear Sky Hammer has definitely undergone some kind of mutation!"

Elder Xuan was also utterly shocked. He had always thought he was quite familiar with the Clear Sky Sect, after all, he had crossed paths with Tang Hao in the past. But the oppressive aura emanating from this Clear Sky Hammer far surpassed anything he remembered. Clearly, Wang Dong'er was definitely an important figure in Clear Sky Fortress, and her Clear Sky Hammer had undergone some degree of evolution.

Within the domain, Di Niqiu felt the omnipresent suppressive force, and her brows furrowed slightly. That force attempted to suppress her movements, weaken her soul power, and even interfere with her senses. She had to divert some of her soul power to resist that suppressive force.

But she wasn't too worried.

She took a deep breath, and the golden dragon bloodline within her surged like boiling magma. The golden scales on her body became denser and thicker, exuding a savage and domineering aura. Gripping the golden dragon spear, she stood rooted to the spot, like an unshakeable mountain.

Wang Dong'er activated her domain, continuing to suppress Di Niqiu. She attempted to exhaust Di Niqiu's soul power through the constant erosion of her domain. However, Di Niqiu's defense was simply too strong; her domain power was unable to penetrate the layer of golden scales. After several fruitless attempts, Wang Dong'er lost patience.

She gritted her teeth, gathering all her domain power and fusing it with the power of the Goddess of Light Butterfly to lock onto Di Niqiu. Behind her, the golden spots on the butterfly wings began to flicker intensely, as if countless stars were burning within them. Her aura reached its peak at this moment.

"Light of Haotian—Break!"

She gripped the Haotian Hammer with both hands, channeling all her power into it, and then swung it fiercely! The black warhammer, carrying earth-shattering power, crashed down towards Di Niqiu! Wherever the warhammer passed, the air emitted a sharp explosion, and space itself seemed to distort slightly under that blow!

At the same time, Di Niqiu unleashed the terrifying power of her Golden Dragon. Golden light flashed in her eyes, and the Golden Dragon Spear in her hand hummed and vibrated. She lunged forward, harnessing her strength from her waist, channeling all her power into that single thrust, meeting the descending Haotian Hammer head-on!

Two terrifying forces are about to collide!

At this critical moment—

A figure appeared between the two like a ghost.

Lin Yao.

He stretched out both hands, one hand grasping the handle of the Haotian Hammer that Wang Dong'er swung down, and the other hand grasping the shaft of the Golden Dragon Spear that Di Niqiu thrust out. His movements were casual, as if he had just casually grabbed two toys.

Those two forces, powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, vanished without a trace the moment they touched his palm, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

The entire venue was deathly silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing. The full-force attacks of those two proud young women had been so easily neutralized by Lin Yao. He hadn't even used his soul power; he had withstood their attacks solely with his physical strength.

The battle ended. No one knew who should be declared the winner, nor did they understand why Lin Yao had appeared at this moment, preventing the duel from reaching a true conclusion.

Lin Yao released his grip, withdrawing his arms, and glanced at the two. Then, he publicly announced, his voice calm and clear: "Wang Dong'er possesses twin martial souls, both of which are top-tier. Di Niqiu wields the legendary Golden Dragon. Both are top-tier geniuses, appearing only once in ten thousand years, with unparalleled combat power."

He paused, then continued, "Therefore, I have decided to break with the original plan of accepting only one disciple and accept Wang Dong'er and Di Niqiu as my personal disciples."

Upon hearing this, the entire audience fell silent for a moment, then erupted in thunderous applause and cheers!

"Congratulations, Pavilion Master! Congratulations to you both!" The students in the stands stood up to offer their congratulations.

Xiao Xiao jumped up excitedly, waving her fist vigorously: "That's great! Dong'er, you're amazing!" Ning Tian also smiled with satisfaction and clapped gently. Although she herself was not selected, she was genuinely happy for Wang Dong'er to see her become the sect leader's disciple.

Di Niqiu stood rooted to the spot, a complex expression flashing in her golden eyes. She felt she could have been the sole disciple; she was confident she could defeat the woman opposite her—if Lin Yao hadn't intervened, she would have certainly won. But now, she had an extra fellow disciple. She was somewhat unwilling, but since it was Lin Yao's decision, she couldn't say anything.

Wang Dong'er had initially felt she was going to lose. She had used all her strength in that clash, while Di Niqiu clearly still had energy to spare. If Lin Yao hadn't intervened, she might have been severely injured in that attack. But unexpectedly, the situation took a dramatic turn—not only did she not lose, but she also became Lin Yao's disciple. A sense of joy welled up within her, and as she looked at Lin Yao's retreating figure, her eyes flickered with a complex emotion she herself didn't realize.

Di Niqiu keenly noticed the complex look in Wang Dong'er's eyes when she looked at Lin Yao. She narrowed her eyes slightly, a little curious—why did this girl seem to share the same curiosity about Lin Yao as she did?

Afterwards, Lin Yao led the two new disciples to the Sea God Pavilion. Along the way, Di Niqiu and Wang Dong'er followed side-by-side behind Lin Yao, neither of them speaking, a subtle atmosphere filling the air. They both knew that from this day forward, they were not only fellow disciples but also rivals.

Upon arriving at the Sea God Pavilion, Lin Yao arranged accommodations for the two. After touring the pavilion's facilities, both chose to stay inside, where the spiritual energy was more abundant, willingly forgoing their comfortable private residences to focus on intensive cultivation. They both understood that becoming the pavilion master's disciples was only the first step; to truly be worthy of this status, they needed to put in even more effort.

In the sect leader's office, Lin Yao reminded the two of the sect's rules and then presented them with a special gift.

He took out several bottles of crystal-clear pills and handed them to Wang Dong'er. The pills emitted a faint golden glow, their rich fragrance invigorating the senses. "These pills were crafted by me using pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth, as well as the power of the stars. They are extremely easy to absorb. They can be used to temper your physique and solidify your foundation. Although your twin martial souls are powerful, they also place extremely high demands on your physique. You must make good use of these pills and not slack off."

Wang Dong'er accepted the pill and nodded solemnly: "Thank you, teacher."

Lin Yao then turned to Di Niqiu, taking out an ancient scroll and a bottle of pills that shimmered with a silvery sheen. "This is a secret technique that allows you to better utilize your mental power, as well as pills to enhance it. Your Golden Dragon Martial Soul has already reached its peak in terms of strength, but there is still room for improvement in your mental power. This secret technique and these pills can help you make up for this weakness."

Di Niqiu accepted the scroll and pills, a hint of emotion flashing in her golden eyes. She hadn't expected Lin Yao to be so thoughtful in discovering her weakness and preparing a corresponding gift. She whispered, "Thank you, Pavilion Master... Teacher."

Lin Yao nodded slightly: "Alright, you can go and familiarize yourselves with your accommodations and settle in. Classes will begin tomorrow."

"Yes, teacher," the two replied in unison, then turned and left.

After leaving the office, Di Niqiu and Wang Dong'er walked side by side along the corridor of the Sea God Pavilion. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window, casting dappled shadows on the floor. They were silent for a moment, then turned their heads at the same time and glanced at each other.

"I look forward to your guidance in the future," Di Niqiu said first, her tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

"Likewise," Wang Dong'er smiled slightly, showing no sign of weakness.

Their eyes met in mid-air, as if sparks of invisible energy were about to fly.

They both knew that from this day forward, they were both fellow disciples and rivals.
