Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Chapter 96 Daily Life at the Academy

The shimmering light of Poseidon Lake clung to Lin Yao's clothes, as if it could wash away the restlessness in his heart caused by encountering an evil soul master in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Every Soul Master who returns from the dangerous Star Dou Great Forest has a significant improvement in strength, and Lin Yao is no exception.

There is a kind of calmness that comes from the settling of power.

When one breaks through to the Soul King level and obtains their fifth Soul Ring, they can accommodate a 50,000-year Soul Ring, which is an extremely terrifying record.

Even 20,000 years later, during the era of the Legend of the Dragon King, when all sorts of unreasonable talents and cheat codes emerged, Lin Yao was still able to rank among the top.

It requires not only strong physical fitness, but also a huge challenge to mental strength.

Ten thousand years ago, the powerful talent of twin martial souls shone brightly in the hands of Bibi Dong and Tang San.

The reason for this is that the pressure that the age limit of the spirit rings puts on the body and mind is something that they can only withstand if they have a divine inheritance.

But Lin Yao is different.

Not only because of the power of the two ultimate martial souls, the enhancement of the body by the 400,000-year-old soul bone, but also because of the profound foundation brought about by so many superimposed worlds.

Within the sea of ​​spirit, the shimmering body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm lazily rolled around, emitting satisfied hums. "Little Yao is getting more and more powerful. He easily contains five 50,000-year soul rings, making him more powerful than any genius I've ever seen."

"It won't be long before I can give Di Tian and his gang a good beating. I can't wait to think about it."

Meanwhile, Hyotei, now in human form, floated quietly to the side, her lovely and beautiful face revealing little emotion.

But deep within those emerald green eyes gleamed undisguised praise and a hint of expectation.

After thinking for a moment, Hyotei spoke, her cold voice echoing in Lin Yao's mind: "Very good, Yao. It won't be long before your physical strength and mental power have reached the requirements to bear all my power."

When you fully integrate the power of my soul rings and soul bones, you will be able to unleash the full power of my Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul.

At that time, the power of the extreme ice from the far north will unleash a dazzling light across the continent. Just thinking about it makes me look forward to it.

Lin Yao could sense the pride and expectation in Hyotei's words, and immediately responded in his heart, "I will, Hyotei."

Despite saying that, Lin Yao had no time to ponder the power of the spirit ring or the Ice Emperor's expectations.

Lin Yao hurried through the quiet path in the inner courtyard, the moonlight casting a long, slender shadow that was exceptionally clear.

Ma Xiaotao's residence.

Since the last time he used the power of ice and fire within his body to help her suppress the evil fire, the flames within Ma Xiaotao's body seem to have found a new fulcrum of balance.

His cultivation speed is advancing by leaps and bounds.

But precisely because of this, she was determined to catch up with Lin Yao's meteoric rise in progress.

He cultivated almost day and night, hoping to break through to the Soul Saint realm as soon as possible, which caused his old illness to relapse.

As soon as Lin Yao stepped into the courtyard, he smelled a scorching aura in the air, mixed with some uncontrolled fluctuations of soul power.

This is a sign of excessive internal heat leaking out.

"Xiao Yao!"

From inside the room came Ma Xiaotao's suppressed breathing.

The next moment, the door creaked open.

Her pretty face was flushed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her originally bright and beautiful phoenix eyes were now covered with a layer of mist, making her look hazy and vulnerable.

The faint purplish-red flames around her would occasionally surge, almost engulfing her slender figure.

Sometimes it would wilt again, like a candle flickering in the wind.

Clearly, the evil fire within her body had begun to surge wildly, reaching a critical point that she could no longer suppress.

Seeing this, Lin Yao said nothing more, took a step forward, and reached out to grasp Ma Xiaotao's burning wrist.

The moment Lin Yao's icy fingertips touched Ma Xiaotao's burning skin, the latter couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The body, stretched to its limit, seemed to find its anchor in an instant.

All her strength poured out at this moment, and she leaned softly against Lin Yao.

"Don't push yourself, use your soul power to cooperate with me."

Lin Yao spoke in a calm tone, conveying a reassuring and comforting power.

He took the opportunity to put his arm around Ma Xiaotao's soft waist and half-embrace her in his arms.

With his other hand, he placed his palm on her wrist, activating the power of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion and Tyrannosaurus within his body.

The gentle yet powerful pale golden soul energy flowed into Ma Xiaotao's body through her palm like a clear spring.

It precisely flowed into her meridians, which were already in turmoil from the evil fire.

This time, it's completely different from the simple suppression of the past.

Lin Yao is now a true Soul King, and his soul power is several times stronger than it was a month ago.

Although the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion did not have a new attached spirit ring, its first spirit ring released even more power.

As a result, the water level rose and the boat rose, and the power was greatly amplified.

A surge of purer and more domineering extreme ice energy, far more potent than before, quietly merged into the pale golden warm current.

The pale golden soul power, carrying a trace of deep emerald green ice and the pure fire power of the Tyrannosaurus Beast, flowed slowly through Ma Xiaotao's meridians.

Wherever it passed, the evil fire, which was like a raging beast, seemed to have encountered its natural enemy and offered no resistance whatsoever.

It was instantly frozen and melted by that icy aura, and finally completely purified and transformed by the Yin-Yang power of soul power imitated by the ice and fire power within Lin Yao's body.

Ma Xiaotao closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, feeling the wonderful power within her body that was both cool and warm.

The raging fire, like a wild horse that had been tamed, gradually subsided.

The extreme fatigue from days of arduous training also dissipated considerably.

She could clearly sense that Lin Shu's soul power was much stronger than it had been a month ago.

It acted with utmost gentleness through her meridians, not only failing to make her feel the slightest bit of coldness, but rather as if it were tempering the fire of her martial spirit.

This made the purplish-red flames even purer and more concentrated.

Once the last trace of evil fire was completely eliminated, Ma Xiaotao slowly opened her eyes, her phoenix eyes now filled with a bright, sparkling light.

Instead of immediately letting go of Lin Yao, she stretched out her arms and hugged his neck tightly.

She nestled her cheek against his shoulder affectionately, her voice tinged with a lazy dependence and contentment: "Xiao Yao, you're getting more and more amazing. With you here, I'm no longer afraid of evil fire."

Perhaps, after a few more times, this chronic ailment that has plagued me for so many years can truly be completely eradicated.

Lin Yao gently patted her back, his fingertips inadvertently brushing against her reddened earlobe, causing her to tremble slightly again.

"Your martial spirit is already top-notch, you just need to find the right way to balance it."

Don't rush into cultivation for the next few days; allow your martial spirit and body to properly adapt to the current state.

Ma Xiaotao nodded obediently, but hugged Lin Yao even tighter, as if she wanted to meld herself into his body.

The time they spent together had completely transformed her initial dependence into a heart full of joy and love.

Even she herself didn't realize that at this moment, the look in her eyes as she looked at Lin Yao was already filled with tenderness and affection.

The next day.

Lin Yao gently pushed Ma Xiaotao away from his arms and said softly, "Sister Xiaotao, take some time to adjust to the power within your body. I'll come see you again later."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao felt reluctant, but she also knew that Lin Yao always acted with discretion.

She pouted reluctantly, reached out her slender hand, gently pinched his cheek, and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "I'll do whatever you say."

Although Ma Xiaotao was a little upset that Lin Yao couldn't always be with her, she also knew that loving someone didn't mean keeping them by your side.

Following the obedient demeanor beneath her mature and sophisticated appearance, Lin Yao smiled gently, feeling a little ashamed.

-

Now that he has resolved Ma Xiaotao's matter, it's time to go find Ling Luochen. This somewhat scummy behavior makes him feel a little ashamed.

Of course, I just felt a little ashamed.

Lin Yao felt that all he wanted was a warm haven for two outstanding girls.

"Sister Tao, I'll come find you when I'm done with this."

Lin Yao left after saying this, leaving Ma Xiaotao curled up in bed.

After passing through several quiet side paths, Lin Yao arrived at the specially designated cultivation area in the inner courtyard and found Ling Luochen.

She was still dressed in a cool white robe, standing in the moonlight, like an ice sculpture untouched by dust.

Seeing Lin Yao approach, her indifferent eyes brightened noticeably, and she quickly stepped forward to hug him, smiling, "Little Yao, you're back."

"Yes, Sister Luo Chen."

Lin Yao felt increasingly ashamed upon hearing Ling Luochen's enthusiasm, realizing that if a chaotic scene were to unfold later, things would get complicated.

After their tender moment, the two walked side by side into an empty cultivation room.

Ling Luochen's martial soul is ice element, which is the same ice attribute as Lin Yao's Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

However, since her soul power had reached the Soul King level, she naturally felt suppressed in front of Lin Yao's ultimate ice, which had been enhanced by the Ice Emperor.

"Sister Luo Chen, this time I will guide the ultimate ice soul power to fuse with your ice element. Pay attention to the difference."

As Lin Yao spoke, a faint emerald green halo slowly rose around him, and the soul power of the ultimate ice overflowed like a thin mist.

But this power did not exude any cold oppressive feeling; instead, it carried a delicate and approachable quality.

Ling Luochen dared not delay, and quickly sat down cross-legged, circulated his soul power, and released his own ice element.

When the two ice-attribute soul powers met between the two, she immediately felt as if her ice element had been infused with new life.

The previously sluggish operation, which had been hampered by the depletion of soul power, instantly became smooth and free.

Lin Yao's control was extremely precise; he did not directly infuse soul power.

Instead, he transformed a wisp of the ultimate ice's soul power into the purest "seed" and carefully sent it into Ling Luochen's soul power system.

He used his spiritual power to guide this "seed," demonstrating to Ling Luochen the various properties of the ultimate ice.

How to instantly condense scattered ice elements into the hardest ice crystals, and how to compress soul power into a single point to unleash the strongest penetrating force when launching an attack.

How to ensure that every inch of the ice shield contains a continuously circulating soul power when forming a defense, so as to achieve an impenetrable effect.

Ling Luochen closed his eyes tightly, completely absorbed in the moment.

She could clearly "see" that every flow and change of Lin Yao's soul power deepened her understanding of the ice attribute.

This kind of progress is something she couldn't achieve even after studying alone for half a month or a month.

She felt as if she had pushed open a new door, behind which lay a much wider and more exquisite world of ice and snow.

"Remember this feeling, and try to imitate it by mobilizing your soul power next time."

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yao's voice rang out at the opportune moment, as he slowly withdrew his soul power.

Ling Luochen suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with excitement and gratitude.

She subconsciously clenched her fist, and could clearly feel that the soul power in her body was more abundant and condensed than before.

Even the transitions between several spirit ring skills have become much smoother.

"Thank you, Yao. This experience has been even more rewarding than I expected."

She stood up and threw herself into Lin Yao's arms, acting coquettishly, completely losing her aloof goddess demeanor.

Lin Yao smiled and hugged Ling Luochen's slender waist: "Sister Luochen, your talent is already quite good, you just need a guide."

Take the next few days to solidify your understanding. Feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions.

When Lin Yao said goodbye to Ling Luochen, it was almost dusk. He stood at the entrance to the training area, looking in two completely different directions.

On one side was Ma Xiaotao's residence, where the warm lights seemed to penetrate the twilight and bring a cozy atmosphere.

On the other side, in the direction of the School of Foreign Languages, there was a group of classmates waiting for him to return to the classroom of Class 9, the freshmen.

After thinking about it, he decided to go back to the foreign language department first.

After all, he hadn't had a proper time with his classmates since entering the inner courtyard.

The evening breeze from Poseidon Lake, carrying a moist scent, brushed against Lin Yao's cheek.

He no longer needed to walk; a thin layer of ice crystals, as thin as a mirror, instantly formed beneath his feet, and he shot off like an arrow.

They glided swiftly across the lake's surface, stepping on ice crystals, leaving behind a fleeting white trail.

In a short while, the teaching building of the Foreign Languages ​​Institute came into view.

The lights were still on in the window of Class 9, indicating that it was evening self-study time.

Lin Yao slowed down and stopped at the shore, whereupon the ice crystals instantly melted away.

He straightened his wind-blown clothes before stepping up the steps and opening the classroom door.

"Class monitor!"

Almost the instant the door opened, Zhao Tao's loud voice echoed throughout the entire classroom.

He suddenly stood up from his seat, so excited that the pen in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter".

"You're finally back! We thought you were going to stay in the inner courtyard forever and had forgotten all about us old classmates!"

Zhao Tao's words instantly ignited the atmosphere in the classroom. The students who were quietly reading all looked up, their gazes falling on Lin Yao with a mix of emotions.

The homeroom teacher, Mu Jin, also put down her lesson plan and showed a gentle smile.

She had already learned from the academy's higher-ups that Lin Yao had become an inner academy disciple, but she never expected that he would make a special trip back to the outer academy to attend evening self-study.

Mu Jin has always valued this student who has shown amazing talent at such a young age and has been able to enter the inner academy.

She stood up, took two steps to greet him, and said gently, "Lin Yao, it's good to see you back. Quickly find a seat. Evening self-study isn't over yet, so feel free to ask me anything you don't understand."

Lin Yao smiled and nodded, his gaze sweeping across the classroom.

He noticed that most of his classmates looked at him with undisguised admiration and worship.

After all, in Shrek Academy, inner court disciples are like legendary figures, the goal that all outer court students look up to.

Lin Yao was not only an inner court disciple, but also their former classmate, and had even helped many people solve their cultivation problems before.

The female students in the class, in particular, had very different reactions.

Ning Tian put down the soul tool blueprints in his hand. His eyes, which always carried a hint of arrogance, now fell on Lin Yao, and a hint of shyness and admiration was hidden deep in his eyes.

Wu Feng also put away her usual fierceness and combativeness, and just quietly looked at him, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turning up slightly, revealing a gentle smile that even she herself did not notice.

The most introverted girl, Nammon Yoon-ah, blushed immediately and quickly lowered her head, pretending to read a book.

But her bright, lively eyes couldn't help but secretly and intently glance at him.

"Squad leader, did you hunt down some really powerful spirit rings during your trip to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Zhao Tao was the first to come over, asking with a curious expression.

"I've heard some rumors in the inner courtyard that someone with five rings absorbed a 30,000-year-old soul ring. Is that true?"

Zhao Tao's words made the surrounding students prick up their ears, and even Mu Jin on the podium showed a curious expression.

Lin Yao didn't hide anything, simply nodding casually: "I was lucky to encounter a 30,000-year-old dream beast, and the absorption process went relatively smoothly."

Upon hearing this, a chorus of gasps filled the classroom.

A 30,000-year-old spirit ring!

Even within the inner academy, very few people possess a 30,000-year soul ring at the Soul King level.

Lin Yao's strength has far exceeded their imagination, and even exceeded their understanding.

"My god, the class monitor is amazing! His talent is simply unmatched!"

"A 30,000-year soul ring—I would be completely satisfied if I could obtain a 10,000-year soul ring at the Soul Emperor level in my lifetime."

"No wonder he was able to enter the inner courtyard; he's practically a monster!"

The discussions were lively, but Lin Yao just smiled calmly and didn't say anything more.

He took out his old textbooks from his schoolbag, flipped to the chapters he hadn't finished reading, and quietly began to read.

Even though he wanted to keep a low profile, the classroom's attention was like a magnet, constantly drawn to him.

The female students, in particular, looked at him with a mixture of admiration and a touch of girlish shyness and affection.

They looked just like a group of little foxes who had spotted their prey, and even the air seemed to have a sweet scent about them.

Mu Jin watched this scene, shook her head helplessly, but didn't say anything more.

Lin Yao's excellence is obvious to all, and it's not a bad thing that he can give these students, who usually only focus on their studies, a bit more energy.

She walked back to the podium and continued organizing her lesson plans, but whenever she glanced in Lin Yao's direction, a hint of approval and expectation would always flash in her eyes.

Such students will surely become pillars of Shrek Academy in the future.

They might even surpass those legendary predecessors and carve out an even wider world for themselves on this continent.

Evening self-study time passed quickly, and when the bell rang, the students were still reluctant to leave.

Lin Yao patiently answered several questions before finally managing to "escape" from the enthusiastic classmates.

When I stepped out of the teaching building, the night was already so dark it was almost imperceptible.

Lin Yao looked up towards the inner courtyard, where lights twinkled, warm and bright. He knew that Ma Xiaotao was probably still waiting for him.

He smiled and walked briskly toward Poseidon Lake.

A gentle evening breeze carried a sense of comfort and tranquility.

He knew that in the days to come, he would not only need to consolidate his newly acquired spirit rings, but also familiarize himself with his new spirit skills.

She also had to balance her increasingly delicate relationship with Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, and take care of her studies at the Foreign Languages ​​Department.

Life seems to be getting more and more complicated.

However, Lin Yao always maintained a calm smile.

As long as nothing goes wrong, it seems—it's quite interesting.
