Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Chapter 38 The Promise, the Plan

Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, training ground.

Yu Tianheng stood under the corridor, his gaze fixed on Lin Yao not far away. His fingertips unconsciously rubbed his cuffs. A hint of realization flashed across his eyes, followed by a look of certainty.

"Lin Yao, a familiar name, coupled with this amazing talent, if I'm not mistaken, you must be the disciple that Sword Douluo recently accepted."

His voice was very soft, as if he were talking to himself, yet it reached Lin Yao's ears clearly.

As the last syllable faded, he nodded slightly, clearly very confident in his judgment.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Tianheng's gaze unconsciously swept over Lin Yao's entire body.

When they first met, he had vaguely sensed the soul power emanating from Lin Yao.

That was clearly a fluctuation from someone at the same level as himself, yet the boy in front of him looked two or three years younger than him.

Thinking of this, he frowned slightly, and a complex look appeared in his eyes, a mixture of surprise, scrutiny, and a hint of barely perceptible vigilance.

Although the three upper sects have always claimed to be of one mind and always appear to be a united group in front of outsiders, the competition between the sects has never stopped, especially among the younger generation, where undercurrents are surging.

Yu Tianheng was born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Since childhood, he has been proud of the sect's top martial soul. What he looks down on the most are the seemingly weak direct disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who rely on support.

But now, Lin Yao's appearance has shattered his preconceived notions.

How could he not be troubled by the fact that a younger boy had already reached a level of soul power comparable to his own?

He took a deep breath, suppressing his turbulent thoughts, and fixed his gaze on Lin Yao again: "Even if you are not a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, your status as a disciple of Sword Douluo Chen Xin is second only to Ning Rongrong, the direct descendant of the sect leader, within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It is not an exaggeration to say that you represent the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

A gentle breeze blew through the corridor, lifting Lin Yao's robes. He looked up at Yu Tianheng, his expression calm, and uttered only two words:

6

Yes."

This simple response seemed to ignite a fuse in Yu Tianheng's heart.

He took a step forward, the air around him seeming to tense with his emotions, his tone sharper: "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School members joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and even followed me in after I joined. They're here for me, aren't they?"

As he spoke, he glanced quickly at Dugu Yan standing beside Lin Yao out of the corner of his eye.

The intimate way Dugu Yan had acted towards Lin Yao was still vividly imprinted in his mind.

She would naturally brush the dust off Lin Yao's shoulders, her eyes full of smiles when she spoke, but she always had a cold and indifferent attitude towards her.

Thinking of this, Yu Tianheng clenched his fists quietly at his side, a strange sense of resentment welling up in his heart, and his gaze toward Lin Yao became more hostile.

Lin Yao naturally sensed the hostility in Yu Tianheng's words. He raised an eyebrow, not backing down, but instead curving his lips into a slightly mocking smile. His tone was light yet sharp: "Ah, so it turns out that you Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan people don't just think about showing off your muscles, you actually use your brains."

These words were like a thorn, piercing Yu Tianheng's heart precisely. His expression darkened slightly, and he snorted coldly, "Heh, fine. Even if you have formidable talent, you haven't fully matured yet, so you must learn to respect the strong."

Besides, I come from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and I am by no means a weakling!

Before he finished speaking, Yu Tianheng's soul power suddenly erupted, and pale blue lightning power surged from his body, wrapping around his limbs and bones.

Accompanied by a deep dragon roar, a ferocious blue lightning tyrannosaurus phantom appeared behind him, its cold dragon eyes seemingly able to pierce through people's hearts, and the temperature in the air seemed to drop several degrees due to the power of the thunder.

The surrounding students sensed this powerful martial spirit aura and instinctively took a few steps back, their eyes filled with awe.

Looking at the scene before him, Lin Yao's mockery gradually faded, replaced by calm. He met Yu Tianheng's gaze, his voice still gentle, yet carrying an undeniable firmness: "What's the use of saying so much? Just fight it out. In the world of Soul Masters, the strong are respected."

At this moment, Lin Yao had his own plans in mind.

He admitted that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul was indeed powerful, but the sects that possessed this Martial Soul were not exactly top-tier.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is so vast, yet its strongest member is only a Super Douluo.

There are no beings above the Title Douluo level, and even ordinary Title Douluos are few and far between. Compared to the Spirit Hall's foundation, it is far too meager.

Even if the soul masters of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can rival four or five strong individuals at the same level, they probably won't even be able to stir up a ripple when faced with the Spirit Hall's crushing attack.

Moreover, Lin Yao's soul power has now reached level 25. Although he is one or two levels lower than Yu Tianheng, he has absolute confidence in his strength.

If they were to actually fight, he was confident he could easily crush his opponent.

The atmosphere under the corridor grew increasingly tense, with the power of thunder and the restrained soul power around Lin Yao subtly clashing, and even the air seemed to freeze.

The other disciples of the Heavenly Dou Team stood not far away, their faces full of difficulty.

Some people instinctively wanted to step forward to stop them, but as soon as they took a step, they looked up at Teacher Qin Ming standing by the window.

Qin Ming stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the two people facing each other, his brows furrowed as if he were pondering something.

Noticing the students' gazes, he gently shook his head, signaling everyone not to interfere.

Seeing this, the students had no choice but to stop and mutter to themselves.

These two are a genius from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and a disciple of Sword Douluo. They are both scions of top-tier forces that the two cannot afford to offend. If they rashly intervene, they will likely only bring trouble upon themselves.

Just then, Dugu Yan took a step forward and silently stood behind Lin Yao.

She tilted her head slightly, her gaze towards Yu Tianheng carrying a hint of indifference, clearly stating her position.

Lin Yao sensed the movement behind him and was slightly surprised.

He hadn't expected that Dugu Yan would stand by his side so directly.

Upon seeing this scene, Yu Tianheng's expression darkened further, and an indescribable sense of distress welled up in his heart.

His original plan hadn't even had a chance to unfold before signs of failure appeared, which made him increasingly frustrated.

Lin Yao quickly suppressed his surprise and turned his gaze back to Yu Tianheng. He said calmly, "You just finished a duel today and used up a lot of your soul power. I don't want to take advantage of you in this regard. Tomorrow at the Soul Arena, we'll have a match. That's more effective than any amount of arguing."

His words were concise and to the point, setting the time and place directly.

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng took a deep breath, suppressed his impulse, and nodded.

When faced with such a prodigy, one must go all out; there is no option but to fail.

Tomorrow, a fair and square contest in the Soul Arena will be a good opportunity for him to see just how much skill this Sword Douluo's disciple truly possesses.

Then, the two of them turned their gazes to Qin Ming, waiting for his response.

Seeing this, Qin Ming nodded slowly without saying anything more.

With him present and overseeing things, plus the three academic committee members who might be observing from behind the scenes, even if the two were to fight, nothing would go wrong.

Having finalized the duel, Lin Yao ignored Yu Tianheng and turned to look at Dugu Yan behind him, his voice softening slightly: "By the way, Sister Yan, I have something to tell you after this Soul Battle."

With a lingering resonance, Lin Yao turned and walked towards his room, his clothes swaying in the wind, leaving behind a carefree silhouette.

Completely ignoring the urge of Yu Tianheng behind him to attack again, which was almost irresistible.

"Huh————"

Upon hearing Lin Yao's words, the surrounding students all showed curious expressions, their eyes scanning back and forth between Lin Yao and Dugu Yan, whispering among themselves.

Dugu Yan stared at Lin Yao's departing figure, her face first stunned, then a smile appeared on her face, tinged with helplessness and reproach, as she muttered softly, "Little Yao, you're still pretending to be mature."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was just loud enough for those around her to hear, which drew a few chuckles from the crowd and instantly eased the tense atmosphere.

Yu Tianheng stood there, watching this scene, his fists clenched tighter, and the power of thunder flickered faintly at his fingertips, but in the end he still forcibly suppressed it.

He took a deep breath, turned around and walked in the opposite direction, his back view carrying a hint of loneliness.

After returning to his room, Lin Yao went straight to the bed and sat down.

He closed his eyes, and with a thought, his consciousness quickly sank into his own mental sea.

Here, everything was crystal clear, free from external distractions. One could concentrate better and learn things several times faster than outside. As his consciousness settled in the sea of ​​his mind, Lin Yao's thoughts gradually drifted away, returning to that time in the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

At that time, in order to resolve the excessive depletion of his vital essence due to over-training, he spent a great deal of time studying medicinal herbs.

He searched through all the medical books and pharmacopoeias he could find in the world of Divine Condor, and became very familiar with the properties and effects of various medicinal materials.

Unfortunately, in that world, rare medicinal herbs that could replenish one's essence were too scarce, so even with all his knowledge, he had no way to use it.

If there were no opportunity to connect with other versions of myself in the myriad worlds and replenish my essence from them, I fear that my version of myself in the Condor Heroes world would die before the age of thirty due to the depletion of my essence.

Thinking of this, Lin Yao couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and secretly rejoiced that he, in the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes, possessed the ability to connect with all the heavens.

However, in the process of studying medicinal herbs, Lin Yao also took the opportunity to learn a lot about some poisonous medicinal herbs.

As the saying goes, "every medicine has some degree of toxicity," medicinal materials and poisons are inseparable.

Many highly poisonous substances can be transformed into effective medicines for curing diseases and saving lives in the hands of those who know how to use them.

In the Douluo Continent, although there is a method to transfer toxins using soul bones, this method is not easy. It requires not only a special guiding method but also the use of appropriate medicine for treatment. If one is not careful, the poison will be transferred to the body and endanger one's life.

For example, Tang San's "Xuan Tian Bao Lu" contains relevant guidance methods and antidote prescriptions.

Lin Yao's knowledge of medicinal herbs, which he learned from the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes, also included many records about the use and neutralization of highly poisonous substances.

If the two are combined, perhaps a way can be found to completely eliminate the toxins in the bodies of Dugu Bo and his grandson.

Lin Yao's gaze gradually hardened.

After integrating this knowledge, he contacted Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan to try to help them get rid of the toxins.

Moreover, his soul power is now close to the Soul Venerable realm, and it's time for him to use immortal herbs to enhance his potential.

After all, coming to the Douluo Continent, a world full of geniuses, it would be too out of place not to consume some immortal herbs to enhance one's potential and shorten the time required to increase one's soul power level.

Moreover, Lin Yao has always believed in win-win cooperation and never thought of monopolizing the immortal herb.

Only when everyone works together can their maximum value be realized, and naturally he wouldn't leave out Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

Moreover, when confronting Yu Tianheng today, Dugu Yan stood behind him without hesitation. Lin Yao remembered this kindness. He was never one to keep things to himself. Since Dugu Yan trusted him so much, he would naturally reciprocate and keep her troubles in mind.

As his consciousness slowly wandered through the sea of ​​consciousness, Lin Yao began to organize the knowledge in his mind. The light and shadow in the sea of ​​consciousness changed constantly with his thoughts, sometimes revealing dense text, sometimes showing the phantom images of various medicinal herbs, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
