Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Chapter 92 Yan Shaozhe's Winning Over

Classroom of Class 9, freshmen.

When Lin Yao appeared at the door, the previously noisy classroom fell silent instantly, and dozens of eyes focused on him.

There was curiosity, awe, and an undisguised excitement.

"It's the class monitor, the class monitor is back."

Someone shouted first, and thunderous applause erupted in the classroom.

The boy who greatly admired Lin Yao's abilities stood up and clapped his hands vigorously.

Even if they are able to join Shrek Academy, it's either because they have great talent or they have a certain social status.

However, their advantage over other peers in their respective hometowns is insignificant to the peer standing at the door.

It's like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.

As for the usually quiet girls, thinking of Lin Yao's two battles yesterday, they also showed admiring smiles and looked at Lin Yao.

Lin Yao could feel the admiration these people had for him, and a smile appeared on his lips as he nodded slightly.

Immediately, his gaze swept over the familiar desks, finally settling on the empty seat by the window.

It is his own "throne of kings".

Just then, a slender figure stepped out from the crowd.

The figure had smooth, short, golden hair cascading down her back, fair skin like jade, and bright, captivating almond-shaped eyes.

She wore a light purple long dress, the hem of which was embroidered with the iconic glass patterns of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School.

A lustrous jade pendant hung from her waist, and she exuded an elegance befitting a noblewoman as she walked.

It was Ning Tian, ​​the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, who was also the second strongest in the ninth class in terms of soul power after Lin Yao, and possessed the strength of a three-ring Soul Venerable.

Ning Tian's powerful background and unparalleled strength made her second only to Lin Yao in prestige among Class 9.

"Squad leader, you left too quickly last night. You haven't collected the bet of 100,000 gold soul coins yet."

Ning Tian stepped forward quickly, his voice gentle, holding a purple-gold card in his hand, and then handed it over.

"This is a bet that Senior Xu Sanshi gave to Class 9 and asked us to pass on to you. Please accept it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao smiled, accepted the gold card, and said gently, "Thank you, Ning. Thank you for your trouble."

Although Lin Yao's words were spoken in a gentle tone, his eyes were clear and held a distinct distance.

Although Ning Tian is a promising prospect, Lin Yao can't bring himself to be so engrossed in cultivation with Senior Sister Ling last night, and then be all lovey-dovey with a junior sister today.

Lin Yao's current rank is still too low, or not bad enough. You could say he's in a state of being like a Buddha.

Thinking of the tender moments with Ling Luochen, her warm breath, and her soft touch, a hint of tenderness flashed in Lin Yao's eyes.

The fact that senior Ling Luochen gave herself away so quickly seems inconsistent with her personality, but it is actually due to the influence of her martial soul and the fact that the two fell in love at first sight.

Therefore, Lin Yao felt it was necessary to uphold male virtues and maintain a certain distance from the opposite sex.

Seeing that Lin Yao maintained a just-right distance from him, Ning Tian showed no surprise. A hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, which he quickly concealed.

She knew Lin Yao's value all too well; such a top genius would not only stand at the pinnacle of the continent based on his own strength.

With the support of the behemoth Shrek Academy, a comparable force will be formed.

Decades later, the name Lin Yao may resonate far and wide.

However, while Ning Tian wanted to establish a friendly relationship with Lin Yao, he also didn't want him to be the kind of frivolous person.

That's good.

It is extremely rare to find a young talent who is both of sufficient value and matches one's emotional values.

It's wonderful if I'm lucky enough to encounter it.

This would make it easier for him to build the network of relationships that would allow him to ascend to the position of sect leader later.

With Lin Yao by his side, Ning Tian felt that the heavy responsibility of shouldering the future of the sect was not so tiring anymore.

Thinking this, Ning Tian looked up at Lin Yao and said gently, "Class monitor, this is just a small matter—"

After that, the two nodded to each other and returned to their respective seats without saying anything more.

Not far away, Wu Feng, dressed in a neat white school uniform, cautiously glanced at the two and began to talk.

Seeing the two of them acting like ordinary classmates, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She and Ning Tian grew up together, and she had a special feeling for Ning Tian that was hard to explain.

Seeing Ning Tian and Lin Yao, geniuses of great value to the sect, maintain a certain distance, a strange emotion arose in his heart.

The look in her eyes as she looked at Lin Yao softened considerably, but also held a hint of envy and a strange emotion.

If I also possessed such talent, wouldn't I have a greater chance to fight for my own destiny?

Office of the Dean of the Martial Soul Department.

Yan Shaozhe sat behind his pearwood desk, holding a piece of intelligence in his hand, a smile playing on his lips.

The content of this information is, of course, Shrek Academy's collection of information about Lin Yao.

The martial soul is a top-tier offensive spear-type martial soul. Without using any soul skills, it pierced through the Xuanming Sect's inherited martial soul with its inherent martial soul essence.

Soul power, suspected to be that of a high-level Soul Master, allowed him to defeat Xu Sanshi, one of the Twin Stars, in three moves using only the purest power.

Even without Elder Xuan's introduction at the Sea God Pavilion, Yan Shaozhe could sense Lin Yao's terrifying talent from this incomplete information.

However, looking at the figure sitting on the sofa not far from him, Yan Shaozhe felt a headache coming on.

He originally planned to tell Ma Xiaotao about Lin Yao's talent, so that the girl he had watched grow up would pay more attention to this genius freshman.

As top geniuses of similar age, it would be beneficial for them to get to know each other better and support one another in the future.

However, when Ma Xiaotao arrived at the office, Yan Shaozhe unexpectedly discovered a surprising change.

The unknowns that could cause this change mean that many of Yan Shaozhe's ideas may be thwarted and forgotten.

"Xiao Tao, circulate your soul power and let me see how much progress you've made recently."

A terrible thought popped into Yan Shaozhe's mind. He sighed, put down the information about Lin Yao, and said in a serious tone.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao was somewhat puzzled, but she didn't say anything. She nodded, closed her eyes as instructed, and red soul power emanated from her body.

The soul power, which should have been mixed with black evil fire, was now much purer.

Only a faint trace of black energy lingered at the edge of the soul power, far less turbulent than before.

A powerful phoenix aura spread out, along with a surge of soul power from a high-level Soul Emperor.

Yan Shaozhe should be happy that Ma Xiaotao, whom he considers his daughter, has improved in strength and that her martial soul problem seems to have been resolved to some extent.

However, thinking of the records about the evil fire phoenix from ten thousand years ago, and the things that might be unsuitable for children involved, Yan Shaozhe felt like his own cabbage had been eaten by a pig.

I feel terrible.

Suppressing the feeling of helplessness in his heart, Yan Shaozhe reached out and placed his hand on Ma Xiaotao's wrist.

Feeling the steady and gentle fluctuations of soul power emanating from his fingertips, without the restlessness of the rampaging evil fire of the past, Yan Shaozhe finally accepted it with certainty.

He immediately withdrew his hand, looking at Ma Xiaotao with a pained expression, his voice trembling slightly: "Xiaotao, what exactly happened? With the resources prepared by the academy, it shouldn't be possible to reduce your evil fire to this extent, could it be—"

"Teacher, what are you thinking?! Do you think I'm that kind of indecent person?"

Seeing Yan Shaozhe's appearance, Ma Xiaotao, although she hadn't experienced some of these things herself, had a certain understanding of them, and immediately felt embarrassed and annoyed.

Afterwards, a somewhat dazed Ma Xiaotao recalled a figure in her mind, and then explained, "It was a freshman with an ultimate ice attribute martial soul who helped me, allowing me to cultivate without any worries during this time."

"What?! An ultimate ice-attribute martial soul?"

Yan Shaozhe suddenly stood up, causing the chair behind the desk to slide backward with a screeching sound.

"This year's freshmen class actually has such geniuses? Not only do they have top-tier spear spirits with ultimate soul-destroying attributes, but they also have ultimate ice spirits, it's simply—"

He paused abruptly before he could finish speaking, his gaze fixed intently on Ma Xiaotao.

"What's the name of that new student you mentioned?"

Ma Xiaotao raised her head, met Yan Shaozhe's gaze, and smiled, "His name is Lin Yao. I heard that this little guy defeated that Xu Sanshi guy yesterday. Not bad, not bad."

"Lin Yao?!"

Yan Shaozhe's heart skipped a beat, and he stood frozen in place, the intelligence report in his hand falling to the table with a "thud".

"Hahaha----"

Then, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but burst into wild laughter, making Ma Xiaotao, who was feeling a bit uneasy, think that her teacher had gone mad.

As for Yan Shaozhe, he felt he couldn't help but laugh; it was truly a blessing from heaven for Shrek Academy.

He originally thought that Ultimate Soul Annihilation and Ultimate Ice were two different geniuses, but he never expected that they were actually the same person.

Twin Martial Souls!

One is a top-tier offensive spear spirit with the ultimate soul-destroying attribute, and the other is a spirit with the ultimate ice attribute.

He had lived for nearly a century and had seen countless geniuses, but he had never seen anyone possess such extraordinary talent.

For thousands of years, no genius in Shrek Academy has been able to compare to them, not even the first few who became gods.

Thinking this, Yan Shaozhe quickly walked to the window, looked at the blue sea and sky of Poseidon Island outside the window, took a deep breath, and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

When Elder Xuan observed Lin Yao before, he only discovered his top-tier offensive spear spirit, but he didn't realize that he also had a hidden ultimate ice spirit.

This little guy is quite good at hiding.

However, it makes sense, considering that Xu Sanshi was only a Soul Master of level 30 at the time, and had no ability to force out all of Lin Yao's trump cards.

"Well done—Lin Yao is quite something."

Yan Shaozhe turned around, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"With him here, Shrek Academy's foundation for the next few hundred years is secure, even—"

He even has the potential to reach the level of what happened ten thousand years ago!

His voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

"Level 100 to godhood! That generation, so glorious for ten thousand years... Is Shrek Academy about to produce another figure like that?!"

Standing to the side, listening to Yan Shaozhe's words, Ma Xiaotao felt that it was normal for her teacher to be excited.

Based on his theoretical knowledge, such a twin martial soul talent is definitely stronger than the Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer combination from back then.

Reaching the peak quickly would give them more time and greater strength to seize the opportunity that their predecessors in Shrek Academy had been striving for—the chance to reach the level of a Limit Douluo at level 99.

Thinking about how Lin Yao, the younger brother she had high hopes for, would forge his own legendary epic, Ma Xiaotao smiled.

Meanwhile, the old man Shao Zhe inadvertently noticed Ma Xiaotao's expression and immediately had an idea.

He walked over to Ma Xiaotao, patted her on the shoulder, and said with a hint of teasing, "Xiaotao, do you have a thing for that Lin Yao kid?"

"ah?!"

Ma Xiaotao didn't react in time and exclaimed in surprise, but soon her face turned red to her ears and she couldn't help but retort.

"Teacher, please don't talk nonsense—I just—I'm just grateful to Lin Yao for helping me purify my evil fire. Also, there's such a big age difference between us, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe smiled and shook his head, his tone becoming serious: "Don't be shy."

Age is not a problem. You are eighteen years old and he is twelve. It seems like there is a six-year age difference.

However, once one becomes a Soul Douluo or a Title Douluo, their lifespan will be greatly extended.

By then, that six-year age difference will be like the difference between 102 and 108 years old—completely insignificant.

He paused, then added.

"Think about Tang San's ancestor and Xiao Wu's ancestor. Xiao Wu's ancestor was a soul beast in human form, and she was much older than Tang San's ancestor."

"Didn't they end up together anyway? They became an enviable couple, a model for others to admire. With such a precedent, there's nothing to worry about."

Ma Xiaotao raised her head, her eyes filled with a mixture of hesitation and anticipation.

Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe continued, "I'll send a message to Lin Yao right away and ask him to come to Seagod Island. You can also have a good chat with him and get to know each other better."

As he spoke, he took out a blue communication soul tool from his pocket and infused it with soul power.

Then, a pale blue light shot out from the soul tool and disappeared outside the window.

Upon receiving the notification, Lin Yao arrived at the Poseidon Island office.

Pushing open the door, Yan Shaozhe was sitting behind his desk, with Ma Xiaotao standing to the side. When she saw Lin Yao come in, a smile appeared on her lips.

It wouldn't have been a big deal, but when Ma Xiaotao thought of what her teacher had said before, she couldn't help but blush slightly and turn her head away.

"Lin Yao, you've arrived."

Yan Shaozhe stood up, a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes held appreciation as he carefully examined Lin Yao.

He could sense that Lin Yao's soul power had reached the Soul Master realm, which was unimaginable for someone his age, but his foundation was exceptionally deep, and his soul power fluctuations were stable and refined.

Clearly, this isn't the kind of waste that's forced to grow by becoming a medicine pot; its value is terrifyingly high.

With such a strong foundation, even without displaying twin martial souls, he indeed possesses greater strength than ordinary Soul Master geniuses.

"Dean Yan, what brings you here?"

Lin Yao bowed slightly, his tone respectful but not humble.

Yan Shaozhe walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said sincerely, "Lin Yao, I already know about your talent. Twin martial souls, ultimate soul destruction plus ultimate ice, such talent is unparalleled on the continent."

On behalf of Shrek Academy, I formally invite you to join the Shrek Core and become a pillar of the academy.

He paused for a moment, then stated the conditions he had prepared beforehand: "As long as you agree, I will immediately make you an inner court disciple and allow you to enjoy the highest level of resources in the inner court."

My teacher, Elder Mu, the Sea God Pavilion Master who is a level 99 Limit Douluo in our academy, is also willing to accept you as a disciple and personally guide your cultivation.

At the same time, the academy will do its best to equip you with a suitable soul bone; if a suitable one is available, you will be given priority!

A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Yao's eyes; these conditions were far more generous than he had imagined.

Seeing that he was interested, Yan Shaozhe continued, "In addition, Xiao Tao's evil fire still needs your ice-attribute soul power to purify it. I have already arranged for Xiao Tao to have a place to stay on Seagod Island. You can move in here to make it easier to help Xiao Tao resolve her evil fire."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao raised her head and looked at Lin Yao with expectant eyes.

Lin Yao pondered for a moment, quickly calculating in his mind: joining the Shrek Core would grant him more resources and guidance, greatly benefiting his cultivation.

Living on Poseidon Island can also help you avoid some unnecessary trouble.

Aside from avoiding the trap set by Elder Xuan Lao, the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, who "murders the geniuses of the Inner Academy," one can grow smoothly.

"Dean Yan, your offer is very generous."

Although he had already agreed in his heart, Lin Yao felt that it would be too hasty to agree immediately. He then raised his head and spoke calmly.

"However, this matter is of great importance, and I need time to consider it. I will give you an answer tomorrow, is that alright?"

Yan Shaozhe nodded, showing no displeasure. "Alright, I'll wait for your reply. Xiao Tao, take Lin Yao to see his place."

Ma Xiaotao nodded quickly, a smile spreading across her face: "Lin Yao, come with me."

She turned and walked outside, her steps much lighter.

Lin Yao bowed to Yan Shaozhe and then followed him.

The two left the office and walked along the stone path of Poseidon Island toward the dormitory area.

Ma Xiaotao walked ahead, glancing back at Lin Yao every now and then, her cheeks still slightly flushed.

"Um—your clothes, I've already washed them clean."

Ma Xiaotao suddenly stopped, took out a white garment from her personal storage soul tool, and handed it to Lin Yao.

The clothes still carried a faint scent of soap, clearly indicating that they had been carefully washed, and even the wrinkles at the corners had been ironed out.

Lin Yao took the clothes, his fingertips touching the soft fabric, a strange emotion welling up inside him: "Thank you, Senior Xiao Tao."

"No need to thank me. I haven't properly thanked you yet for helping me purify the evil fire."

Ma Xiaotao lowered her head, her voice growing softer and softer.

"In the future—if my anger flares up again, will I still need your help?"

"sure."

Lin Yao nodded and put the clothes into his storage soul tool.

The two continued walking, and the atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous, with only the sound of the sea breeze echoing in their ears.

Soon, they arrived at a perfect spot for sunbathing, and just then, an old voice called out, "Little Peach, little one, what a coincidence."

The two looked up and saw Moon lying on the armchair with a smile on his face.

Ma Xiaotao quickly stepped forward: "Grandmaster, what are you doing here?"

"Soak up some sun, even a body full of bones needs to relax."

Mu En smiled, his gaze falling on Lin Yao with admiration in his eyes.

"Also, look at that little guy next to you whom I almost misjudged; he's been hiding so many cards."

Little one, your talent is great, but if you want to realize it quickly and grow smoothly, you need a powerful force to protect you in the early stages, so that you can achieve mutual success.

By coming to Shrek Academy, you acknowledge the role Shrek Academy plays in your growth.

So you can join with confidence; Shrek Academy will be your biggest support.

"Thank you for the reminder, senior. I have the answer now."

Lin Yao said.

Understanding Lin Yao's thoughts, Mu En nodded in satisfaction: "Good, you can make your own decision now."

""

Afterwards, the three chatted for a while longer before parting ways.

The inner courtyard dormitory area.

Understanding Lin Yao's thoughts, Ma Xiaotao pulled him inside and opened the door to a villa: "Xiao Yao, this is your room. Everything inside is newly prepared. See if you need anything, and I'll go get it for you."

The room was very large, but it was kept extremely clean.

It has the corresponding living utensils, and the most obvious ones are bookshelves and desks, which are neatly arranged with all kinds of books.

It appeared extremely clean and tidy.

Lin Yao looked around and nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, we have everything we need. Thank you, Senior Sister Xiao Tao."

,"You're welcome."

Ma Xiaotao smiled.

"I'm glad you're satisfied. Once you've thought it through, you can move in right away. Come on, let me show you around Poseidon Island."

"it is good."

Lin Yao nodded, closed the door of the villa, and followed Ma Xiaotao to stroll around the inner courtyard.
