Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Chapter 35 Overlord Body, Wood and Fire Sword Qi

The next morning, the dawn pierced through the eaves and corners of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's majestic halls, casting golden light upon the Soul Arena, which covered several acres in the center of the school.

The edges of the bluestone-paved area are carved with intricate patterns that enhance soul power.

Despite the passage of time, faint traces of soul power still linger between the lines, shimmering faintly in the morning light.

Lin Yao, dressed in a moon-white outfit, stood tall and straight in the center of the arena. His long, dark hair was tied back with a simple wooden hairpin, revealing his smooth forehead.

Beside him, Sword Douluo Chen Xin wore a long silver-white robe that trailed on the ground, with dark gold sword patterns embroidered on the hem. With his slight movements, the sword patterns seemed to come alive, faintly exuding a sharp aura.

Chen Xin leaned the Seven Kill Sword diagonally on the ground, its blade reflecting the morning light, stinging the eyes. A faint aura of soul power surrounded him, making the surrounding air seem to solidify.

In the audience, Ning Fengzhi sat at the head of the table.

Wearing a magnificent royal blue robe with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's emblem embroidered on the cuffs, she toyed with a string of warm jade beads in her hand, her gaze calmly fixed on the Soul Arena, yet a hint of anticipation lingered in her eyes.

Ning Rongrong sat beside him, wearing a pink silk dress, her hands tightly gripping the hem of the dress, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, her eyes following Lin Yao's figure closely, and her cheeks flushed slightly with nervousness.

Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo beside her, also held his breath, his gaze fixed on the two people in the arena, clearly full of curiosity about this special "sparring".

The reason for this sparring session can be traced back to Lin Yao's successful absorption of a five-thousand-year soul ring yesterday.

As Lin Yao's master, Chen Xin knew how rare it was for someone of a higher level to absorb a spirit ring beyond their current age limit. He wanted to personally assess Lin Yao's current strength through a real fight.

With his Super Douluo level, he could accurately sense the operation of Lin Yao's soul power and the power of his soul skills, thus allowing Lin Yao to clearly understand his position at the Soul Master level.

More importantly, Chen Xin was filled with curiosity about Lin Yao's second soul skill, which had a lifespan of five thousand years.

Although Lin Yao absorbed the spirit ring very smoothly, the spirit ring was still comparable to the best spirit ring age of a Soul Master.

Chen Xin was filled with anticipation to see just how powerful Lin Yao, a Grand Soul Master, could be.

Of course, Lin Yao also had his own reasons for conducting a strength test the next day.

He noticed the worried expressions on Ning Rongrong's and the others' faces when they were absorbing the spirit ring yesterday, and he kept it in mind.

Now Lin Yao wants to use actual combat to show those who are worried about him that he is not only safe and sound, but his strength has also greatly improved, so they no longer need to worry about him.

Especially towards Ning Rongrong, he had long regarded this lively and lovely girl as someone worth protecting, and only wanted her to see his strongest side.

"Master, are you ready? I'm about to make my move."

Lin Yao turned slightly to the side and cupped his hands in greeting to Chen Xin.

A faint green halo emanated from his fingertips, a sign that the wood-attribute soul power within his body was beginning to circulate. His eyes were bright, fixed intently on Chen Xin, filled with fighting spirit.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin smiled faintly, a glint of anticipation flashing in his eyes. The Seven Kill Sword trembled slightly, emitting a soft sword hum.

"Xiao Yao, come on! Let me see what kind of power this spirit ring you absorbed beyond your level and age limit has, and also see how it differs from the second spirit skill of a top-tier martial spirit genius of the same level."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a sense of authority, as if it could penetrate the air and clearly reach Lin Yao's ears.

"good!"

Lin Yao responded, and two purple halos suddenly lit up beneath his feet.

When the two colors are combined, the deep purple becomes so rich it's almost black, making it stand out dazzlingly against the bluestone pavement.

The first and second spirit rings complemented each other, and the fluctuations of spirit power spread out like ripples on water, causing the surrounding air to ripple.

"After fusing with the Lava Demon Bear's soul ring, my sword has incorporated fire attributes. This move is the second soul skill born from the fusion of wood and fire attributes. The power of wood serves as fuel, allowing the power of fire to burn wildly."

Lin Yao said in a deep voice, his voice carrying a hint of excitement. He gathered all his soul power, and two terrifying soul power fluctuations instantly erupted from his body.

Green wood-attribute soul power and red fire-attribute soul power intertwined and swirled around him like two agile ribbons of light.

With the eruption of dual-attribute soul power, Lin Yao's aura suddenly surged.

A faint golden halo emanated from his body, a sign that the invincible state of immune control had been activated.

The Star Sword in his hand trembled slightly, and a layer of red and green sword energy quickly appeared on its blade.

The sword energy was sharp and carried a scorching temperature, making the surrounding air feel hot.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the small pebbles on the ground instantly turned to ash, the moss that originally clung to the cracks in the bluestone slabs withered rapidly, and even the leaves of a few potted plants at the edge of the distant stands began to turn yellow and curl.

This sword energy was not only incredibly powerful, but also ridiculously fast, slashing towards Chen Xin like lightning.

Sensing the power within the sword energy, a hint of surprise flashed in Chen Xin's eyes.

He had already anticipated Lin Yao's soul skills, but now that he experienced them firsthand, he realized that reality far exceeded his expectations, and that he had underestimated this disciple.

The sword energy contained an extreme sharpness, as if it could cut down any enemy in front of it.

Chen Xin did not delay. He quickly stretched out his palm, channeled his soul power, and a light blue soul power shield instantly formed, protecting him within it.

"Bang!"

The sword energy slammed into the soul power shield, producing a loud bang. The shield trembled violently, and ripples spread across its surface.

But before long, fine cracks slowly appeared on the shield, spreading out like a spider web.

"What? I've used nearly level 30 soul power, and I still can't stop Xiao Yao's attack?"

A look of amazement flashed in Chen Xin's eyes, and a storm raged in her heart.

He is a Title Douluo, and the quality of his soul power is far superior to that of ordinary Soul Masters.

With his level of cultivation, the level 30 soul power he released was enough to rival a Soul King, yet he still couldn't withstand Lin Yao's attack.

"If level 30 isn't enough, then level 35 or 40!"

A fighting spirit ignited in Chen Xin's eyes, and he continued to increase his soul power output, instantly making the light blue soul power shield even thicker.

It wasn't until the soul power output reached level 40 that the red and green intertwined sword energy was finally completely blocked and slowly dissipated into the air.

"Haha! Old Swordsman, it seems you're only relying on your superior soul power. If you were of the same level, you'd probably have been taken down by Little Yao long ago!"

In the audience, Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, couldn't help but laugh loudly, his face full of a mischievous smile.

This is a source of fun between him and his longtime friend Chen Xin; they never miss an opportunity to tease each other.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin smiled helplessly but did not refute it. He simply looked down at his palm and remained silent.

A sense of melancholy lingered in his heart. He had established himself on the mainland through his strength and was renowned for his achievements, yet now he felt a sense of "new talents emerge in every generation."

It seems like I've really gotten old.

But what I felt most was relief; it was truly a blessing to have such a gifted disciple.

"Alright, alright, you've all seen Yao-gege's soul skill, that's enough! It seems Yao-gege is alright now, we should go play!"

Just then, Ning Rongrong, who had witnessed Lin Yao's amazing performance, suddenly stood up from her seat, ran quickly to the edge of the Soul Arena, grabbed Lin Yao's arm, and said in a sweet voice.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were full of joy; her previous nervousness had long since vanished.

"Brother Yao, come play with Rongrong! Otherwise you'll have to go back to the academy soon. I heard there are lots of fun things at the city auction recently, will you come with me?"

Ning Rongrong gently shook Lin Yao's arm, her tone coquettish, her eyes full of dependence.

Lin Yao felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at the little girl's dependent expression. He smiled, patted her head, and said softly, "Okay, let's go! I'll stay with you until we get back to the academy."

After saying that, he turned to Ning Fengzhi and the others, cupped his hands in greeting, and said with a smile, "Uncle Ning, Master, Elder Gu, I'll take my leave now."

After Lin Yao and Ning Rongrong disappeared from the entrance of the Soul Arena, Ning Fengzhi slowly got up, walked to the center of the Soul Arena, and looked down at the ground.

There, on the once intact bluestone slab, there remained a patch of withered black marks and a crack half a finger deep.

The crack had a burnt smell coming from its edges, clearly caused by the sword energy just now.

"Its attack power is terrifying, comparable to that of a Soul King. It also possesses both wood and fire attributes. I have never seen such a powerful sword spirit that can flexibly combine the five elements."

Ning Fengzhi crouched down, his fingertips gently tracing the cracks in the ground, his eyes filled with amazement, his tone tinged with disbelief.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, I am an amplification-type support-type Soul Master, and I can clearly sense the immunity to control hidden in Xiao Yao's Soul Skills."

We didn't use any control skills just now, so this ability wasn't revealed, which shows that his potential is far more than that.

"Yes! Such a top-tier soul ring skill, no wonder it has the effect of absorbing beyond one's level."

This rate of growth would be a nightmare for any enemy facing such a peerless genius! Fortunately, Xiao Yao is from our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, also stepped forward, looked at the marks on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh.

His words were full of relief, but also contained a hint of envy. How could such a good successor be Chen Xin's disciple?

Thinking that his powerful spatial attribute Bone Dragon Martial Soul had no successor, Gu Rong felt a pang of melancholy. The more he looked at Chen Xin, the more envious he became.

Why don't I have such good luck?

Just then, Chen Xin suddenly asked, "Old Bones, when you use level 40 soul power, can an ordinary Soul Emperor injure you?"

His tone was calm, yet carried a hint of seriousness, which startled Gu Rong.

Gu Rong frowned, shook his head, and said softly, "Of course not! Although I am one level lower than you, I have already entered the Super Douluo realm."

With my level of soul power refinement, even if I only use soul power equivalent to a level 40 Soul Master, I am far superior to an ordinary Soul Emperor.

Unless it's a sixth soul skill that aims for maximum attack, it simply can't break through my defense.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xin suddenly opened his palm.

On his fair palm, there were two thin wounds, surrounded by a faint red and green halo, and the wood and fire attribute soul power was still eroding his skin.

It wasn't until Chen Xin channeled the sword energy within his body that he completely expelled the two elemental soul energies, and only then did the corrosive marks on the wound slowly disappear.

"You're injured? How is that possible?"

Gu Rong stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief. He had clearly seen Chen Xin block Lin Yao's attack, so how could he still be injured?

"Not only am I injured, but my soul power has also been eroded by these two attributes."

Chen Xin withdrew his hand, but his eyes were full of joy.

"I guess Lin Yao's sword energy not only inherited the fire attribute power of the Lava Demon Bear, but also the ever-renewing wood attribute power of the Jade Bamboo."

Wood generates fire; these are only the first two of the five elements. If the five elements were to unite in the future, perhaps no Soul King throughout history would be a match for Xiao Yao?

He paused, then continued, "This second soul skill is even more amazing than I imagined. Not only is it highly destructive, but it also has a continuous corrosive effect."

If it were a Soul Master of the same level, their Soul Power circulation would likely be instantly disrupted, making them completely unable to resist.

"Fengzhi, we were all wrong before."

Chen Xin turned to look at Ning Fengzhi, her tone tinged with emotion.

"Lin Yao's martial soul is not most outstanding in terms of attack power; its true strength lies in its domineering nature."

Not only his sword spirit, but his physical spirit is probably the same.

"Overbearing? Yes! Exactly overbearing!"

Ning Fengzhi was enlightened by Chen Xin's words. As an expert in the field of Soul Master theory, he instantly understood.

"Xiao Yao's martial soul is so domineering that it almost ignores the rules. When a soul master absorbs a soul ring, no auxiliary soul skill can interfere."

However, his original martial soul not only strengthens his physical constitution but also completely ignores this rule, enabling him to absorb spirit rings beyond his level.

He pointed to the remaining traces of sword energy on the ground and continued, "And this Star Sword, which can both annihilate everything and give birth to all things."

The power of the Five Elements is the power that gives birth to all things. It is truly rare for a martial soul to be able to control such contradictory powers at the same time.

""

"The power of all things—there is such a martial spirit."

Gu Rong couldn't help but swallow, the image of Lin Yao after he had fully grown up flashing through his mind.

Once one reaches the Title Douluo level, a single sword strike can destroy the heavens and the earth, and also bring all things back to life. Such terrifying power is probably difficult for even a Title Douluo of the same level to withstand.

"It's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse for a generation of geniuses to encounter such a 'monster.'"

Ning Fengzhi looked up towards the direction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's main hall, where the sect's plaque hung, gleaming golden in the morning light.

His eyes gleamed with confidence as he said with high spirits, "The Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect, and other forces will inevitably be overthrown by an invincible force within a decade or two."

This might be an even more stunning and terrifying existence than the one who is invincible in the sky and the one who is invincible on the ground.

And our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can ride this wave and rise to unprecedented heights!

Sunlight shone on him, making his royal blue robe gleam with a luxurious sheen.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi's eyes were filled with longing for the future of the sect.

With a genius like Lin Yao assisting them, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will surely leave a significant mark on the history of Douluo Continent.
