Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 108 The Zhu family truly boasts a wealth of talented individuals.

After sending the auspicious beast to Emerald Jade's territory for treatment, Di Tian slowly appeared on the shore of the Lake of Life, kneeling on one knee and saying in a deep voice:

"My lord, those humans have all been dealt with, and no humans will bother you anymore."

"Very good. The next thing to consider is how to transfer the power of that mysterious talisman into this Lake of Life to help me heal."

Di Tian glanced cautiously at the mysterious talisman, a hint of solemnity appearing in his eyes. After a moment's hesitation, he replied:

"My lord, the origin of this talisman is rather complicated, but I will do my best to find a solution for you."

"Well, I'll leave the rest to you. Don't let any more humans disturb me."

"It is the Lord!"

Starry Palace.

Xu Jiawei looked at the Prime Minister beside him and couldn't help but ask:

"Prime Minister, has there been any news from the Zhu family? My decree should have been delivered by now."

The elderly man in fine clothes bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, the goods have been delivered. The person you selected has arrived at the Zhu family smoothly. However, the matter of disfiguring people, as you mentioned, has not yet been carried out."

Xu Jiawei frowned and said softly, "Is he unwilling to sacrifice himself for Xingluo?"

After a moment's hesitation, the Prime Minister nodded: "Although Wang Zhong was sent to Shrek Academy by our Xingluo, he has already become a level 65 Battle Soul Emperor at the young age of 24. He is not quite able to accept the fact that his face was disfigured for the competition. Currently, the Zhu family head is trying his best to persuade him."

Xu Jiawei nodded and said softly, "Go and tell him that regardless of whether he succeeds or fails in this battle, the Empire will double the compensation he promised. In addition, after the matter is over, I will send someone to find him the most suitable soul guide mask."

"Yes"

After the Prime Minister silently left the court, Xu Jiawei sighed with a complex expression: "Shrek hasn't sent a single word yet, it's really worrying."

Meanwhile, as Lin Dong and his group flew away swiftly, Jing Hongchen sighed with some regret:

"What a pity. If it weren't for Di Tian's appearance, my Mortal Annihilation would have severely injured Xuan Laogou."

Ye Yulin looked at Jing Hongchen, whose face was full of murderous intent, and raised an eyebrow imperceptibly. This Hongchen Annihilation was different from his Sun and Moon Divine Needles.

Although it is slightly inferior to the Sun and Moon Needle in terms of attack range and charging time, the former is superior in power and group attack capability.

Jing Hongchen just relied on Lin Dong's soul skill, and the effect of that attack was absolutely perfect. If Di Tian hadn't intervened, it probably wouldn't have been as simple as just severely injuring Xuanzi.

It could even be said that, apart from Xuanzi Chiwang and that old Song, even the auspicious beasts would be reduced to ashes.

Lin Dong calmly echoed, "The Dean's attack just now was indeed powerful; I felt a little uneasy watching it. However, it seems that Di Tian has already mastered some rudimentary spatial power, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to defend against it so easily."

Ye Yulin glanced at Lin Dong in surprise, inwardly praising him:

No wonder the Red Dust Hall Master and Elder Kong value this kid so much. Not only does he have such amazing soul skills, but he can also see the power of space with just the strength of a Soul Venerable. He is truly extraordinary!

Lin Jiayi's expression was even more astonished. Although he was also a level nine soul master, his achievements were much lower than those of Ye Yulin and Jing Hongchen, not to mention his achievements as a soul master.

Unexpectedly, Lin Dong's vision was so good. No wonder the Heavenly Lord was so furious when he learned that Lin Dong had been assassinated. He was very glad that he had used swift and decisive methods to kill many assassins hiding in the city that day.

Otherwise, given Lin Dong's current abilities, he would definitely lose his position as director. He then forced a friendly smile at the calm-faced Lin Dong:

"Lin Dong, when we investigated that group of assassins last time, although the prisoners were killed after saying only a few words, we still managed to find out that these people were supposedly Zhu family retainers mobilized by the eldest daughter of the Zhu family. It's a pity we didn't have any evidence, otherwise we could have used that opportunity to make trouble."

Lin Dong's face showed little surprise; he looked at him and smiled faintly.

"Thank you for informing me of this, Director. Let's go to the competition first. I can handle the revenge myself."

Looking at his seemingly harmless smile, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Xiao Hongchen casually patted him on the shoulder.

"What kind of talk is that, Lin Dong? It's too formal. I don't like it. Once I become a level nine Soul Master and a Limit Douluo, I'll wipe out that Zhu family for you in no time."

Lin Dong glanced at him indifferently, but before he could speak, Meng Hongchen teased him:

"Forget it. By the time that day comes, the grass on the Zhu family's grave will have been completely pulled up."

Hearing her words, Lin Dong's retort stopped, and he looked at Xiao Hongchen with a knowing smile. Xiao Hongchen's lips twitched.

"No, when did you start siding with this guy? And is this the kind of description a girl should be making?"

"It's just stating the facts."

Xiao Hongchen snorted softly and remained silent. Jing Hongchen, standing to the side, chuckled and changed the subject: "Lin Dong, how far can your mental detection soul skill reach now?"

Lin Dong thought for a moment and replied softly, "It should be 1,500 meters, but if it's only for my use, the limit should be around 2,000 meters."

In the silence, only the whistling wind could be heard. Jing Hongchen and the others were stunned. Two thousand meters! This was simply too exaggerated.

Ye Yulin, known for his high-altitude soul tools, is obviously most sensitive to this number. With Lin Dong's help, his Sun and Moon Divine Needles can unleash their full power. After all, a precise strike within a radius of 1,500 meters is no joke!

If it weren't for Elder Kong and Jing Hongchen's high regard for Lin Dong, he would have even had the urge to capture him and use him as his aiming device. It's no exaggeration to say that with Lin Dong's help, he could almost easily defeat Jing Hongchen.

Jing Hongchen snapped out of her surprise and shook her head with a hint of regret:

"If we had known, we wouldn't have gotten so close. With your soul skill, we only needed to have Yu Lin activate the Sun and Moon Needles twice from 1,500 meters away, and then we could have retreated as soon as Di Tian showed up."

Ye Yulin teased with a mocking expression, "Then why don't you give Lin Dong to me? Next time I see Xuanzi, I'll unleash the Sun and Moon Divine Needles three times in a row, how about that?"

Jing Hongchen waved his hands impatiently, "That won't do, Yulin. With Lin Dong around, I might not be at a disadvantage against that mad bull. Even Elder Kong couldn't beat me. You should just give up."

Lin Jiayi watched silently from the side. Although he was interested in Lin Dong's soul skill, his research direction was different from that of Jing Hongchen and the other two. Moreover, he knew he couldn't compete with them, so he simply smiled at him without saying a word.

Shrek Academy.

Mu En waited anxiously for Xuanzi and his group to return, which seemed to be about a day later than expected.

Hopefully nothing bad will happen. With Yunzhi around, Xuanzi shouldn't be allowed to cause trouble...

As Moon was lost in thought, several familiar figures rushed in through the entrance of Shrek Academy.

Mu En narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing that Tang Ya and Bei Bei seemed to be missing. Suppressing his anger, he was about to ask when Xuan Zi spoke up angrily:

"Elder Mu, those bastards from Sun Moon are really too much! On our way back from hunting for Soul Rings, we were ambushed by them. They didn't even spare the students, attacking us directly with level nine fixed-position Soul Guidance Cannons!"

I've long suspected they're colluding with evil spirit masters, and today's events have only solidified my belief. Elder Mu, we can't let these bastards get away with this so easily!

Upon hearing this, Moon immediately stood up from the recliner, looking panicked, and said:

"What! Why aren't Xiaoya and Beibei with you? Are they alright?"

Seeing Mu En, who was usually calm, show such an expression, Xuanzi and Elder Song did not dare to elaborate further and simply explained the situation to Mu En.

Mu En finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked calmly at Elder Song, asking:

"Is what Xuanzi said true? Did he embellish it?"

Xuanzi blushed and said with some dissatisfaction:

"Elder Mu, how could I joke about such a thing? When we were arguing with that Crimson King, that bastard Jing Hongchen fired directly at us, with level eight soul-guided cannon shells and level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells."

Old Song nodded, his face grim, and said:

"Elder Xuan is right. Those people from Sun and Moon clearly wanted to kill us all. If it weren't for the appearance of the Beast God Emperor Tian, ​​I'm afraid none of us would have made it back."

Before Mu En could react, Xuan Zi added fuel to the fire:

"Elder Mu, this is a provocation against Shrek Academy! Our patience has its limits. If we continue to tolerate this without taking action, those bastards might go even further!"

Moon's already serious expression grew even more grim, and he said with considerable displeasure:

"The Sun Moon Empire has indeed gone too far this time. In that case, we at Shrek Academy should give them a response."

"Elder Mu, what do you mean?"

"Since they've sent out three level-nine Soul Masters, let's attack their main base directly."

Xuanzi asked in astonishment, "You mean you wanted to assassinate the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire?"

Mu En glared at him: "This old emperor never had the courage to start a war. If we kill him, how can the crown prince let it go? We only have one goal: to destroy Mingde Hall."

Xuanzi and Elder Song nodded with delight:

"We'll do exactly as you instructed. What should we do?"

Mu En nodded: "Go and gather all the elders, and at the same time borrow a batch of earth-burrowing soul tools from the Star Luo Emperor. According to previous intelligence, Mingde Hall is built underground, so we need to make sufficient preparations before we take action."

"yes!"

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

After the two left, a cold glint flashed in Mu En's eyes. Even he, who was usually calm, became much more decisive after learning about what had happened today.

Tang Ya was a person favored by the gods, yet he almost perished at the hands of the Sun Moon Empire. If he did not take action, he would be letting down his position as the head of the Sea God Pavilion, and even more so, he would be letting down the earnest expectations of Tang San's ancestor.

Star Luo Empire.

Lin Dong and his group soon arrived at a city, and after presenting the edict given by the Sun Moon Emperor, they successfully passed through the city gate.

Led by guards dressed in black, they arrived at a rather magnificent mansion, with the words "Zhu Mansion" prominently engraved on the plaque.

This rather expansive building is none other than the Duchess's family, the Zhu family, which has been linked to the Dai family through generations of marriage.

The Zhu family and the Dai family were of similar status, but because there were many women in the family, the Zhu family's title was only that of a marquis. They were led by the steward at the gate with great respect.

Lin Dong and his group quickly arrived at the reception room. Due to Xiao Hongchen and Lin Dong's outstanding appearance, they attracted a lot of girls who whispered about them along the way.

Upon entering the reception room, a middle-aged woman at the head of the table strode forward and greeted the group politely:

"You have all come from afar and must be tired. I am the head of the Zhu family. You may call me Zhu Ji. I have prepared tea and refreshments for you all. How about..."

"No need, we're here to compete, there's no need for all this fluff."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Dong impatiently interrupted her, and the beautiful woman's smile instantly froze. She cursed inwardly:

You damned little beast, if it weren't for these three level-nine soul masters, I would have killed you long ago.

He then looked at Jing Hongchen with anger on his face and said:

"Master of the Red Dust Hall, the quality of your students is lacking. Perhaps you should give us an explanation."

Jing Hongchen sneered, "What explanation do you want? We're here to compete, aren't we? Is he wrong?"

Seeing the cold glint in his eyes, the beautiful woman's expression changed. She clearly hadn't expected him to be so protective of his own, and could only give an awkward smile.

"Since you are all unwilling, I will not force you. Let's go directly to the training ground. The team members who are going to participate are ready."

Jing Hongchen nodded coldly, without saying anything more. She was just a titled Douluo, yet she thought she could make things difficult for Lin Dong with some kind of etiquette. She was overthinking things.

Noticing the cold, stern faces of the Sun and Moon Clan members, a fleeting hint of resentment flashed in Zhu Ji's eyes:

Damn it, I'll make sure you three die on the arena when I get the chance. You're only two Soul Kings and one Soul Venerable, but this time we've prepared three Soul Emperors for you. Enjoy...

Upon seeing the three people preparing for the match, Jing Hongchen snorted coldly:

"Hehe, the Zhu family really does produce a lot of talented people. A small marquis's mansion has actually been able to cultivate three Soul Emperors. It seems that your Zhu family is truly 'full of talent'."

"But these three team members, did they all suffer the same fire and get disfigured at the same time? Do they really think we're fools?!"

Zhu Ji forced a slightly awkward smile, adopting a pitiful expression:

"Master Hongchen, you're wronging me. Although our Zhu family can't compare to Mingde Hall, we used all our family's wealth to send the three of them to Shrek Academy, not to let them be humiliated like this by you."

As for your question about their faces, this is a unique sacrificial ritual of our Netherworld Cat clan, used to prove loyalty to the family. How could we possibly consider you fools?

Jing Hongchen ignored her sophistry and turned to Lin Dong, asking:

"So, what do you think? If you feel it's unfair and don't want to compete, we'll leave immediately. Let's see what this little Zhu family can do to stop us."

Zhu Ji's face turned ashen with anger at his words. The repeated humiliations had completely darkened her expression, and she now desperately hoped that Lin Dong would agree to the competition.

The three people who had prepared in advance, although their faces were completely disfigured and their expressions were unreadable, could be seen from the wrinkles on their damaged skin, indicating that they did not want to suffer this pain for nothing.

Lin Dong chuckled lightly, "Why not? We should thank Madam Zhu for her hospitality."

He patted Xiao Hongchen on the shoulder and grinned.

"How was it? They treated us well, sending several Soul Emperors to hone our skills. This is a rare opportunity."

Xiao Hongchen nodded vigorously, a smile spreading across his face. He had finally gotten a chance to impress Lin Dong, so he naturally wanted to seize the opportunity. He immediately gave a thumbs-up to everyone in the Zhu family.

"You guys are pretty kind-hearted." He immediately pointed his thumb downwards and gestured with his chin towards them.

"Unfortunately, kindness has no effect on the person next to me. Before long, Lin Dong and I will raze this damn Zhu family to the ground."

"you…!"

Zhu Ji's expression changed. Were all the people from the Sun Moon Empire bandits and robbers? Why did they all speak so rudely?

However, the opponent's strength was too terrifying. Seeing that Jing Hongchen and the two people next to her did not intend to stop them, she dared not say anything more, otherwise the Zhu family would probably be bombarded by soul-guided cannons.

He gave a cold snort, turned to look at the three contestants, and coldly whispered his instructions:

"Don't let me down. If you perform well, the reward I promised will be doubled. It would be best if you could cripple those three."

"When have the students from Shrek Academy ever suffered such humiliation?" he said coldly, staring at Lin Dong and the other two.

"My name is Wang Zhong. I graduated from Shrek Academy as an outstanding student. I admire your courage, and I hope your strength will match your ability to make such threats later."

Upon hearing his name, Lin Dong's lips curled into a strange smile:

"Wang Zhongyao... you're actually from Shrek Academy? Then you can only die."
