Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 107 Lin Dong Meets Xuanzi Again

Yuming City, Star Luo Empire.

Lin Dong and his group have finished their first challenge against a sect, a small local force in Yuming City called Yuming Sect.

The sect leader of the Yuming Sect watched them leave with a complex expression, and couldn't help but sigh:

"His Majesty didn't send anyone to help. The strongest among our younger generation is only level 39. They were all killed by that Soul Master boy in one move. It's really too shameful. I'm afraid only Shrek Academy can stop this team."

On the way out, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but purse his lips:

"This Emperor of Xingluo is too stingy; he didn't even send anyone to greet us."

"We're here to cause trouble, not to be guests. We're already being kind by not rejecting them. You think they'll welcome us? You're dreaming."

Hearing Meng Hongchen's soft complaint, Xiao Hongchen became somewhat embarrassed and angry, saying:

"Meng, you're starting to resemble Lin Dong more and more. You're like a bandit. What do you mean by 'crashing the place'? We're here to spar, to have a friendly exchange."

Lin Dong glanced at him indifferently: "You guys talk about yourselves, don't drag me into it."

Xiao Hongchen pursed his lips indifferently and did not refute. Seeing that he was unusually not stubborn, Lin Dong also stopped talking.

Since there was no need to challenge the forces of the Sun and Moon, Lin Dong searched the Mingdou Mountains and several cities along their three-day journey at a leisurely pace.

There was no sign of the Ancestral Symbols, but fortunately this plane is not very large. When we are strong enough in the future, we should be able to travel all over the continent and collect all eight Ancestral Symbols.

Jing Hongchen suddenly turned to look at him and smiled, "Lin Dong, what are you thinking about?"

Lin shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about some things."

Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Jing Hongchen didn't ask any further questions, and turned to look at Ye Yulin, saying softly:

"Yu Lin, why don't we speed things up? These small forces simply don't have the courage to fight. The only ones in the Star Luo Empire who would dare to accept the challenge are probably just a few large families, like the Dai family or the Zhu family..."

Meng Hongchen suddenly noticed Lin Dong beside her, whose eyes seemed to have turned much colder. She then realized that Lin Dong harbored a considerable grudge against them, and looked at him softly:

"Are you alright? Don't worry, with Grandpa and the others here, even if you reveal your identity, that Zhu family won't dare to do anything to you."

Lin Dong seemed to regain his composure after hearing her words, and looked at her with a faint smile:

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. It's not time to settle scores with them yet. Just play the game normally."

Seeing that he didn't want to dwell on the topic any longer, Meng Hongchen wisely kept quiet, nodded obediently, and followed the others on their way.

Inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

Xu Jiawei sat on the dragon throne with a worried expression and asked the old man beside him:

"Prime Minister, is there still no news from Shrek Academy? The Sun Moon Empire's team has already entered my Star Luo territory. Am I really afraid to accept even one match?"

"Alas, that damned Xuanzi! I went to such great lengths to get him on board, and who would have thought he'd be so useless, actually being dismissed from his post by Shrek Academy? Is Heaven truly determined to destroy Xingluo?"

Seeing his contorted face, the Prime Minister coughed lightly:

"Your Majesty, Shrek Academy only sent back a portion of their students. There is no other news. As you said, our students were severely weakened during the competition. Even if Shrek Academy sent back two Soul Kings, I'm afraid their chances of winning against them are slim."

Xu Jiawei's eyes widened in anger, and he said with great distress:

"Can't our Xingluo, with the full strength of the nation, win a single match? Are we really going to be ridiculed by the world for being too cowardly to even accept a single battle?"

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Your health and the fate of the nation are of utmost importance. Temporary restraint is worthwhile."

Xu Jiawei frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly an idea flashed into his mind, and he whispered the instruction:

"How about we unite the Zhu family and the Dai family? Their Martial Soul Fusion Technique is quite powerful. As for the other candidate, I have a plan, but I don't know if it's feasible..."

After hearing Xu Jiawei's plan, the Prime Minister's expression changed, and he couldn't help but advise:

"Your Majesty, if this matter is leaked, the consequences on the Sun and Moon side are minor; what's far greater is the disheartening impact on our nation's talented people!"

Xu Jiawei sighed, "I was forced into this situation. If we don't do this, we might really be swept away by the sun and moon. This is really too damaging to the morale of the people."

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister also sighed.

"Your humble servant obeys the decree. I will immediately send someone to make arrangements."

White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

"Zhu Da, you've delivered your message, haven't you? That little beast must stay in the Zhu family!"

Hearing Zhu Ling's vicious curses, Zhu Da, who had returned to Xingluo ahead of time due to the exposure of his identity, knelt on one knee, hesitated for a moment, and then stammered:

"Miss, the patriarch said there's a limit to your willfulness. Those are three level nine soul masters. Do you want to destroy the Zhu family? He can't possibly agree to your request. He said he has to be responsible for the entire family."

Zhu Ling seemed to have regained some of her composure, and couldn't help but grit her teeth and curse under her breath:

"What did that damned little beast do to earn the Emperor of Sun and Moon's favor so much that he was willing to send three level-nine Soul Masters to protect him?"

Zhu Da could tell she was in a bad mood and didn't dare to continue the conversation until she asked again coldly:

"If assassination doesn't work, what about the other thing I mentioned? Has Mother agreed to it?"

"The head of the family said she needs to think about it some more. This matter is of great importance. If she is not careful, it could bring about the destruction of the entire Zhu family. She cannot act on her own and needs to wait for His Majesty's decree."

Upon hearing that both of her requests had been rejected, a murderous glint flashed in Zhu Ling's eyes, and she said in an icy tone:

"Damn little beast, ever since he awakened his martial soul, he's like he's undergone a complete transformation. Although his eyes used to be unsettling, at least they weren't a real threat. But in just over a year, he's grown to this extent."

Her words trailed off. Recalling Lin Dong's gaze on the field that day, Zhu Ling couldn't help but shudder. Her initially angry eyes regained some clarity due to fear, and she murmured softly:

"This can't go on. You must do everything in your power to inform Mother. We must find a way to get rid of that brat, otherwise, the consequences will be dire!"

Zhu Da had developed a deep fear of the thirteen-year-old boy. Zhu Ling was unaware of Lin Dong's status in the Sun Moon Empire, but he knew it all too well.

Of the many people who went to the Sun and Moon together, only a dozen or so returned safely; the rest lost their lives during the Sun and Moon's almost frantic search.

Even after Yan Yao's assassination attempt failed, he organized his closest men to flee Sun Moon. Despite this, they still lost more than ten brothers before successfully escaping back.

He later learned that the Sun Moon Empire had organized a search operation less than half an hour after the incident, which shows how important Lin Dong was to the Sun Moon Empire.

However, he only told the head of the family about all of this, not Zhu Ling. Having served her for so long, given her hatred for Lin Dong, she would only think that he was making excuses for the failure of the operation after hearing these words.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Da, mindful of their identities, could only nod slightly in response and slowly disappear from the spot.

Zhu Ling's face was contorted with intense hatred, and her once jade-like fingers were slightly red from gripping them so tightly.

On the other side, Jing Hongchen suddenly looked at Lin Dong and whispered, "Lin Dong, do you have a significant connection with the Zhu family?"

Lin Dong paused for a moment, then assured, "Dean, rest assured, although the Zhu family is my enemy, I will not act impulsively."

Jing Hongchen smiled nonchalantly: "I've already inquired. The Zhu family has at most two Title Douluos. Although the three of us can't take action ourselves, no matter how much trouble you cause, the three of us will take responsibility for you."

Although Lin Jiayi didn't have much of an opinion on this, Ye Yulin couldn't help but frown slightly, looked at Jing Hongchen, moved his lips, and nodded in compromise.

He had heard Confucius mention this young man, saying that within twenty years, the entire continent would bow down before him. Although he felt it was somewhat exaggerated, he couldn't make things difficult for the person Confucius had instructed him to take care of.

A faint smile appeared on Lin Dong's face, and he couldn't help but say, "Then thank you very much, seniors."

Jing Hongchen waved his hand with a faint smile: "There's nothing to thank me for. By the way, none of the cities we passed through dared to accept the challenge. According to my guess, the only two families most likely to accept the challenge in Xingluo are the Zhu family and the Dai family."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

However, most of the Dai family's elites have been sent to the front lines, so the Zhu family is probably the most likely to take on the battle. Moreover, that dog emperor certainly wouldn't let us break through the entire Star Luo Empire without any obstacles.

You'll have to be careful then. Although we'll protect you and make sure nothing happens, we can't change the outcome of the competition. If you lose, the reward will be a bit of a shame.

Lin Dong and the other two nodded, and Xiao Hongchen jokingly said:

"Don't worry, Grandpa. The three of us can take care of these bastards. Do you need to bother with us? You and Director Ye only need to make sure that no shameless old geezers interfere."

"That's for sure. By the way, the Zhu family is located in the northeast of the Star Luo Empire. Crossing the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest might save us a lot of time. What do you think, Jia Yi and Yu Lin?"

Lin Jiayi nodded: "I have no objection." Ye Yulin couldn't help but ask: "Master Hongchen, aren't we closer to the Duke's Mansion and Xingluo City? Why do we need to go to the Zhu family first?"

Jing Hongchen explained very patiently, "The Star Luo royal family and the Dai family have a significantly higher status in the Star Luo Empire than the Zhu family. We naturally have to handle things on the surface perfectly, otherwise it will be easy for them to give us a reason to criticize us."

"Master Hongchen's insight is profound."

"You're too kind. In that case, let's head northeast and cross the edge of the Starry Sky Forest. Let's speed up our progress."

Upon hearing Jing Hongchen's command, everyone accelerated the release of their soul power, and the light emitted by the flying soul tools intensified.

After spending most of the day, the group had successfully entered the Star Dou Great Forest. They hadn't gone far when they heard Jing Hongchen say, with a grim expression:

"It seems we've run into someone we know; let's get ready to make our move."

Ye Yulin and Lin Jiayi nodded solemnly. As powerful figures at the Title Douluo level, they could naturally sense the unusual activity ahead.

To Jing Hongchen's surprise, Lin Dong actually uttered a few words in a cold tone:

"Old dog Xuan, it's him, there's no doubt about it."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's expressions instantly turned cold. They had a deep memory of this shameless old man. If it hadn't been for Lin Dong that day, they didn't know what would have happened.

After the two nodded with grim expressions, Meng Hongchen exclaimed in surprise with some doubt:

"How did your perception become so strong? Grandpa and the others know it's because of your cultivation level. It seems your mental strength is indeed extraordinary."

"I am a spirit-type soul master, so it's normal for me to have strong perception."

After he said that, the two realized that they only remembered that this guy had a fierce fighting style, and had almost forgotten about his eye martial soul.

The three of them regained their composure and quickly followed Jing Hongchen and the other two ahead.

In less than ten minutes, they were only a hundred meters away from the scene of the riot, and they could already vaguely see what was happening there.

Standing beside Xuanzi were four Shrek Academy students and a powerful old woman, with his subordinate holding down a mysterious soul beast.

It is over three meters long and eight feet tall at the shoulder. Its entire body is covered with a layer of brilliant golden fur, and its body is like a translucent crystal, full of strange texture.

Its overall shape resembles a lion, but its four claws are like those of a dragon, with a ball of golden flame beneath each claw. Its mouth is also longer than that of lion-type spirit beasts, and beneath its fur, there appear to be fine golden scales.

Besides its normal two eyes, Lin Dong was somewhat surprised to find that it also had a third eye.

"The Imperial Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion?!"

The surprised and doubtful voice of Hyotei in the Sea of ​​Spirit made Lin Dong suppress his anger and ask softly, "What is that thing?"

Ice Emperor patiently explained to him the importance of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to soul beasts, and told Lin Dong that if he had the opportunity, he should try to have an in-depth conversation with it.

Although Lin Dong didn't quite understand, he would do his best as long as it benefited him. He nodded and turned his gaze back to the distance.

Standing opposite the Shrek Seven Devils was a magnificent soul beast that could speak human language.

This spirit beast is over five meters long and resembles a lion, but it has three identical large heads, each with a diameter of over one meter, and its terrifying canine teeth emit a reddish-gold luster.

The three large heads roared simultaneously, and all the soul beasts within a ten-mile radius prostrated themselves on the ground, afraid to move.

"You damned humans, release the auspicious beast! Otherwise, the Beast God and all the soul beasts will not forgive you!"

Having said that, he roared and charged forward, while Xuanzi coldly snorted:

"While the Beast God Di Tian is indeed remarkable, that is no reason for you to allow this auspicious beast to harm my Shrek Academy students!"

As the two clashed, Lin Dong and the others noticed that Bei Bei and Tang Ya seemed to be injured.

It seems they were attacked by that auspicious imperial beast. The three-eyed golden lion's aura was somewhat weak at this moment, probably because Xuanzi had suppressed it too much just now.

Jing Hongchen turned to Lin Dong and softly asked for his opinion: "What's the next step?"
