Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Chapter 39 Instant Defeat

"Big news! Big news! Come and see!"

Wearing a white outfit specially made by the academy, with the sleeves casually rolled up to his forearms, and waving a crumpled piece of paper in his hand, Oslo weaved through the crowd.

He raised his voice deliberately, making it louder and brighter, almost drowning out the noisy crowd in the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's arena. Sunlight shone on his face, revealing a sly smile.

"Lin Yao, the direct disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Sword Douluo, battles Yu Tianheng, the direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's sect leader."

This is a battle between the top talents of the three major sects. Don't miss it if you're passing by. If you want to know the latest news, you'd better seize the opportunity.

Yu Feng, who was beside him, was not idle either.

Holding a small wooden box in his hands, the lid was open, revealing a small soul tool that could transfer the balance of gold soul coins.

He appeared more refined than Oslo, and spoke with a deliberately mysterious air: "Both of you are two-ring Great Soul Masters under the age of ten, and your Martial Souls are both of top quality."

Previously, when Yu Tianheng displayed his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul in battle, he completely overwhelmed all the students of our academy at the same stage, leaving them unable to even raise their heads.

Now that a disciple of the Sword Douluo has arrived, do you think this fight won't be exciting?

Ever since the news of Yu Tianheng publicly challenging Lin Yao spread, the Tiandou Royal Academy was like a pyre that had been set ablaze with sparks, instantly doubling in excitement.

The students who were originally just practicing and chatting in twos and threes on the playground have now almost all gathered around Oslo and Yufeng.

Even the aristocratic scions who usually maintained a haughty demeanor couldn't help but lean forward, standing on tiptoe to try and hear more clearly.

In the crowd, a young nobleman dressed in a brocade robe embroidered with silver patterns frowned, his fingers unconsciously stroking the jade pendant at his waist. His tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction: "Hey, Oslo, I heard you have some inside information about a duel between two people, but this firsthand information costs a thousand gold soul coins? Do you think we're just pigs to be slaughtered?"

As soon as he said this, a chorus of agreement immediately arose from those around him.

Most students at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy come from wealthy families, but even gold soul coins don't come easily.

A thousand gold soul coins are enough for an ordinary family to live a wealthy life for several years. Using them to buy a few pieces of gossip would seem like a waste if it weren't for the fact that there are two geniuses who come from top-tier forces.

Oslo, however, remained calm and composed. He stopped, crossed his arms, and gave a look that said, "You don't know what's going on." He continued, "Brother, you can't say that. Think about it, Lin Yao's martial soul awakened less than a year ago, and his soul power is already on par with Yu Tianheng's. What does that mean?"

Moreover, both of them have extraordinary spirit ring configurations, especially Lin Yao, who is said to be—"

He paused deliberately, glancing at the curious looks from those around him out of the corner of his eye, before continuing.

"It is said that the age of his spirit rings far exceeds that of other spirit masters of the same level. Such a prodigy is destined to stand at the top of the continent in the future."

"Spend a little money now to learn about them, and when they become famous, you can tell people, 'I knew about their childhood!' Wouldn't that be incredibly profitable?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted the piece of paper in his hand, on which were written crookedly the words "Exclusive news about Lin Yao and Yu Tianheng".

The people around looked at each other, and gradually began to waver.

Osro himself was a genius in the academy and had even served in the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Team, so his words were somewhat credible.

Besides, being able to witness the duel between two geniuses from the top three sects firsthand, even if it costs some money to satisfy one's curiosity, doesn't seem like a bad deal.

"Alright, one thousand gold soul coins, I'll take one."

Finally, a young man in a dark robe spoke first. He took out a gold soul coin card from his pocket and paid directly.

With the first person taking the lead, the others no longer hesitated and took out their gold soul coins.

For a moment, the crisp, pleasant sound of the gold soul coin card reader inside the wooden box made Oslo and Yufeng's smiles even wider.

On the outskirts of the crowd, under several lush camphor trees, Lin Yao leaned against the trunk, watching the lively scene not far away. His lips twitched, and he silently complained to himself.

These two guys really know how to "make money." Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the leaves.

The light dappled on his white clothes, and he played with a smooth pebble in his hand, his eyes expressionless, as if he wasn't the one being talked about.

Dugu Yan stood beside him, following his gaze to look at Oslo and Yu Feng, her brows furrowing slightly.

She wore a light purple dress, her long hair tied up with a jade hairpin, exuding a cool and aloof air. However, when she looked at Lin Yao, her tone softened slightly: "Should I stop them? If they keep making up stories like this, who knows what outrageous things they might say?"

She was afraid that those fabricated rumors would anger Lin Yao, and things would get out of control, making it difficult to resolve the situation.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao slowly shook his head, gently tossed the pebble in his hand into the air, and caught it steadily: "It doesn't matter."

His voice was soft, yet carried a calmness beyond his years.

"Ever since I demonstrated my soul power and martial soul, rumors have been circulating that I'm using drugs, employing evil techniques, or being forced to grow too fast. Top geniuses always have to face these things; there's no need to take them to heart."

Dugu Yan was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh: "You little rascal, your mentality is much better than I imagined. I'm increasingly optimistic about you." She raised her hand and patted Lin Yao's shoulder, the gesture carrying a hint of intimacy.

Ye Lengleng nodded slightly. She was wearing an elegant white dress and holding a small medicine pouch in her hands. Her voice was gentle yet clear as she spoke: "You are strong and have the right mindset. Judging from your current performance, you are indeed much stronger than Yu Tianheng."

She had met Yu Tianheng before, and he always had an undisguised arrogance about him. Compared to Lin Yao's composure, he was indeed lacking.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao's lips curled into a faint smile, and he murmured softly, "With so many advantages and such extraordinary talent, it would be embarrassing if I weren't outstanding. Besides, my opponent isn't someone of my generation—"

His voice was very soft, as if he were talking to himself. Dugu Yan and Ye Lengleng didn't hear him clearly. Just as they were about to ask him more questions, they saw that he had already shifted his gaze to the training ground in the distance, so they didn't ask any more questions.

Time flies, and it was noon in the blink of an eye.

The sun grew even hotter, making the ground slightly scorching, but the central training ground of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was packed with people, even more lively than in the morning.

Not only the students came, but even the college's teachers and three education commissioners came in person, standing on the high platform at the edge of the training field, looking intently at the center of the field.

Bai Baoshan stroked his beard, his eyes filled with anticipation: "These two children, one is Sword Douluo's personal disciple, and the other is a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Both are rare geniuses. Today, we'll see just how strong they really are."

Meng Shenji nodded, holding a folding fan in his hand and gently fanning himself: "The main concern is that they might not be able to stop fighting once they start. These two are the future hope of the sect."

"If anything were to happen to them, either the old dragon from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan or the Sword Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could tear our academy apart."

His tone was somewhat teasing, but his eyes were very serious. After all, the strength of the three upper sects was undeniable, and they dared not gamble.

On the training field below the platform, Yu Tianheng was already standing to one side.

He was dressed in a dark blue outfit, with a belt embroidered with dragon patterns around his waist, and his hair was slightly blown by the wind.

He took a deep breath, and his soul power suddenly erupted, instantly creating a huge phantom of a thunder dragon behind him.

The Thunder Dragon's scales shimmered with a silvery-white light, its claws were sharp, and it spewed out tiny bolts of lightning from its mouth. A domineering aura swept over them, causing the surrounding students to involuntarily take a few steps back.

"Lin Yao, let's have a fight."

Yu Tianheng's voice carried a hint of anger as he stared intently at Lin Yao opposite him.

"I want to see if your talent is truly terrifying, or if your strength has been achieved through crooked methods. If it's the latter, hehe—"

He didn't finish his sentence, but the disdain in his tone was obvious.

Lin Yao slowly walked to the center of the training field. Facing Yu Tianheng's provocation, he showed no expression.

He raised his right hand, and his soul power erupted, instantly creating a longsword that shone with starlight in his hand.

A faint starlight flowed across the sword's blade, as if the stars in the night sky had been condensed onto it.

Immediately afterwards, two spirit rings rose from beneath his feet; the first was light purple, and the second was a deeper, darker purple.

The two spirit rings slowly rotated in the air, emitting an aura even stronger than Yu Tianheng's spirit rings.

"My God. That's... a thousand-year-old spirit ring?"

"The first spirit ring is a thousand years old, and the second spirit ring seems to have an even higher age limit. That's terrifying!"

"No wonder Sword Douluo took him as his personal disciple; his talent is simply beyond comprehension."

The entire room erupted in an uproar, with students discussing the matter, and even the three education commissioners on the platform couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise.

Looking at the spirit rings at Lin Yao's feet, Bai Baoshan couldn't help but sigh softly, "Every time I see these two spirit rings, I find it unbelievable. How could a genius who can absorb spirit rings beyond their lifespan be short-sighted?"

Even if he wanted to go astray, Sword Douluo wouldn't allow it.

Meng Shenji nodded: "Our academy is fortunate to have formed a good relationship with such a genius; it will definitely be of great use in the future."

In all the years he had taught students, this was the first time he had ever seen a genius with innate full soul power who could also absorb a soul ring beyond the age limit.

Lin Yao has shattered the world's perception of Soul Masters.

In the crowd, Oslo looked at Lin Yao's spirit rings, his face instantly turning pale. He tugged at Yu Feng's sleeve, his voice tinged with anxiety: "Yu Feng, the money we made by fabricating rumors—will Lin Yao find out? With his strength, he could beat us like chickens."

He had initially believed the rumors to some extent, but now, seeing Lin Yao's spirit ring configuration, he realized how ignorant he had been.

Such a genius has no need to resort to crooked methods.

Yu Feng swallowed hard and whispered, "It shouldn't be, right? We didn't make up anything too outrageous."

Despite saying that, his eyes darted around, clearly indicating that he wasn't sure either.

On the training ground, Yu Tianheng looked at Lin Yao's spirit rings, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

He hadn't expected Lin Yao's spirit ring configuration to be so terrifying, and a faint thought of retreat rose in his heart.

But then he thought to himself, he was a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, how could he back down at a time like this?

So he suppressed his desire to retreat, and his soul power surged once again: "First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw."

With his shout, his right hand was instantly enveloped in silvery-white lightning, his claws becoming incredibly sharp, carrying a strong piercing aura, as he reached out to grab Lin Yao.

The power of the lightning caused the air to hiss, demonstrating just how strong the strike was.

Lin Yao looked at Yu Tianheng approaching and smiled slightly, saying softly, "Your strength is not bad, but unfortunately, I am stronger."

Lin Yao didn't even use his soul skill; he simply raised his hand and held the Star Sword horizontally in front of him, a powerful force gathering on the blade. "Well done."

Upon seeing this, Yu Tianheng not only did not back down, but became even more excited. He then increased his speed and his dragon claws pounced straight at Lin Yao's sword.

"clang-

'

A crisp clanging sound rang out, and the moment the sword and claws clashed, the silvery-white lightning was instantly shattered by the power of the Star Sword.

Yu Tianheng felt a tremendous force coming from the sword, and his arm went numb instantly.

The defense on the dragon claw was immediately broken, and a bloodstain appeared on his palm, with blood dripping from his fingertips.

Lin Yao didn't give Yu Tianheng a chance to react. With a slight twist of his wrist, the Star Sword instantly created an afterimage and accurately struck Yu Tianheng's shoulder.

The force was perfectly controlled, neither injuring Yu Tianheng's bones nor failing to send him flying.

"Bang."

Yu Tianheng was forced to retreat repeatedly by the blow, and eventually lost his balance and fell out of the training field.

The entire arena fell silent instantly, everyone staring in disbelief at Lin Yao in the center of the arena.

From the moment Yu Tianheng made his move to the moment he was knocked away, only a few seconds passed, and he was instantly killed.

The sun was still blazing, and the camphor trees around the training ground swayed in the wind, but no one spoke. There was only the rustling of the leaves in the wind and the slightly heavy footsteps of Yu Tianheng as he got up from the ground.

Lin Yao sheathed the Star Sword, and the Soul Ring slowly disappeared. He looked at Yu Tianheng in the distance with a calm expression, as if he had just done something insignificant.
