Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 116: Mediocrity Lies in Being Afraid to Cause Trouble

After hearing this, Yan Shaozhe tentatively replied, "Elder Mu, do you mean we should set off tonight?"

Moon nodded and said softly, "Yes, after preparing for so long, it would be mediocre to be afraid of causing trouble. Since we've decided to do it, let's do it perfectly."

Then, as if remembering something, he paused and gave the order:

"By the way, remember to remind the elders that the researchers from Mingde Hall can be brought back and placed under house arrest in the academy. We must find out just how far the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools have developed."

Some advanced soul tools also need to be brought back to the academy. The enemy's defenses are so weak; we must minimize casualties. We must remind the elders to be careful not to reveal their identities. If they discover us, and we can't abduct them, we'll have to kill them.

A resolute glint appeared in Yan Shaozhe's eyes, and he nodded emphatically:

"Yes, Elder Mu. I'll go down and give instructions to the elders now."

"Wait." Just as he was about to leave, Mu En called out to him, "Go and call Yunzhi over."

Yan Shaozhe nodded and walked straight out of the Sea God Pavilion. A short while later, Song Yunzhi hurriedly entered and bowed to Mu En: "Elder Mu, Shaozhe said you were looking for me?"

Mu En nodded: "Yes, Shao Zhe should have already told you about the academy's plan. I will teach you the method to activate the power of the Golden Tree. I have already instructed Xuan Zi that everything is up to you. The safety of the academy is in your hands."

"Don't worry, Elder Mu, I will protect the safety of the academy with my life. Elder Xuan has experienced so many setbacks, and he must have reflected on them. When hunting for soul rings, he is no longer as impulsive as before."

"With his strength and the protection of the Golden Tree, the academy's safety is guaranteed, so you can rest assured." Song Yunzhi replied softly, then, looking at Mu En's slightly hunched posture, she couldn't help but say:

"Elder Mu, this journey is dangerous. You must take care of yourself. The academy still needs you as its pillar of support." Mu En gave a soft "hmm" and said with a relieved tone, "Don't worry, these old bones of mine can hold on for a few more years. You can go now."

"It's Elder Mu." After her figure slowly disappeared, Mu En glanced meaningfully at the unconscious Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao, and murmured softly:

"We'll attack Mingde Hall, and evil spirit masters might very well attack Shrek Academy. Hopefully, Shrek Academy will be protected by our ancestors and not be so unlucky."

The next day, at the Heavenly Soul Royal Academy in Heavenly Dou City.

Around the training ground, a large crowd of people excitedly anticipated the upcoming match, and some were already chatting impatiently:

"Have you heard? The Sun Moon Sect actually sent two Soul Kings and a Soul Venerable to challenge the Body Sect's two Soul Emperors and one Soul King. Even the Shrek Academy wouldn't dare to be so arrogant, would they?"

"What do you know? The people of Sun Moon are not that simple. Before in Star Luo, they sent three Soul Emperors, and these three teenagers killed them all. How could they dare to challenge the entire continent if they didn't have the confidence?"

"What? Are you kidding me? With the strength they've shown, they'd struggle to even defeat one Soul Emperor, let alone kill three!"

"Nonsense, I have acquaintances in Xingluo, why would I lie to you? However, the Body Martial Soul of the Body Sect is not to be underestimated, this match is going to be interesting."

"Hehe, that's right. Let's start fighting. Let me see which is stronger, the original martial soul or the Sun and Moon soul tool."

With Jing Hongchen and Du Busi around, Princess Vina didn't even need to arrange for guards. With these top-ranking experts on the entire continent around, only a fool would attempt an assassination.

At the referee's command, Du Busi, Jing Hongchen, and the others retreated to the side, and Lin Dong and his two companions stepped onto the arena. The three on the opposite side also stepped onto the arena in response. The Soul King on the opposite side looked at Lin Dong provocatively and licked his lips.

Lin Dong glanced at him indifferently, ignoring him completely. Xiao Hongchen, however, sneered, "The best outcome of treating this guy like that before was crippling him. You'd better not do anything unnecessary."

The young man opposite Chen Cheng had also heard of this noble-looking youth. Even though the Body Sect was known for its protectiveness, his status within the sect was certainly no match for this young master from Sun and Moon Bright Capital. He snorted coldly.

"What did I do? Don't slander me like that. I, Chen Cheng, am not someone to be bullied!"

Xiao Hongchen's lips twitched, but he didn't waste words with him. He nodded to Meng Hongchen, and the two unconsciously moved closer. The strongest Soul Emperor opposite them frowned and whispered something:

"Chen Cheng, go to the Punishment Hall to receive your punishment after this competition. How could a disciple of our Body Sect make such a childish provocation?"

Upon hearing his order, Chen Cheng dared not disobey, his face flushed as he replied, "Yes." The leading Soul Emperor then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lin Dong and the other two.

"Jin Ke, the personal disciple of the Grand Elder of the Body Sect, Chen Cheng was ignorant, I apologize to you on his behalf."

Lin Dong raised his eyes in surprise, then smiled faintly and said, "Lin Dong, you're too kind. Let's start fighting."

Seeing that Lin Dong seemed completely unfazed, a hint of surprise flickered in Jin Bo's eyes, and he nodded slightly: "Alright."

Seeing this somewhat amusing scene, Jing Hongchen was surprised that the Body Sect actually had such disciplined disciples. As if sensing his strange gaze, Du Busi blushed and whispered to the old man beside him:

"Old Jin, this is a fine apprentice you've trained; it has nothing to do with me." The blond old man laughed heartily upon hearing this.

"I am very satisfied with this disciple of mine, Sect Master. It's not easy for our Body Sect to produce a cultured person. In the future, the position of Elder of Punishments must be handed over to Jin Ke!"

Poison Undying gave a helpless twitch at the corner of his mouth, and said with a straight face:

"The Elder of Punishment doesn't just look at academic qualifications; he also wants to see how well you, my good disciple, have researched our original martial soul."

"Haha, don't worry, Sect Master. I'm not exaggerating when I say that no one under the age of twenty can beat Jin Ke after his second awakening."

Upon hearing the hearty laughter of the Golden-bodied Douluo Jinpeng, a hint of worry appeared in Jing Hongchen's eyes.

Although the madmen of the Body Sect are domineering, they certainly wouldn't make such a boast if they weren't absolutely certain. Lin Dong and his group are in some danger now!

Somewhat nervously, he turned his gaze to the stage, where the other Soul Emperor was also looking at Lin Dong and clasping his hands in greeting: "Chen Tong, please give me your guidance."

Seeing that the other party was so respectful of etiquette, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen also put away the slight coldness on their faces and bowed to them.

"Laughing at the mortal world, dreaming of the mortal world."

After the referee gave the order, both sides tensed up. A hint of seriousness flashed in Lin Dong's calm eyes, as the difference in their levels was indeed quite significant.

He had also heard what the blond old man had said. A golden soul ring lit up beneath his feet, and Xiao Hongchen, understanding the unspoken message, summoned his own martial soul.

The first, second, third, and fourth soul rings lit up simultaneously, transforming him into a three-legged golden toad. Black cannon barrels continuously shot out from his body, instantly unleashing countless soul-guided cannonballs.

After the strong smell of gunpowder dissipated, the figures of the three opponents slowly appeared in the thick fog.

Xiao Hongchen's eyes widened suddenly. The attack, which was enough to seriously injure a Soul Emperor, had not caused the slightest damage to his opponent.

The Soul Emperor named Jin Ke had a white jade-like luster emanating from his arms and torso. The extremely powerful soul-guided cannonballs did not cause him any harm.

Xiao Hongchen's eyes narrowed slightly. This guy's physique was the most terrifying he had seen in a long time, and it seemed to be much stronger than Lin Dong's!

Despite their shock, they didn't hesitate at all. The moment Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's palms touched, Lin Dong rushed straight towards them.

There was no contempt in Jin Ke's eyes. He gave Chen Cheng and Chen Tong a wink, and the three of them simultaneously surrounded Lin Dong.

They were clearly instructed by Du Bu Si to target Lin Dong first, and the three of them actually intended to eliminate Lin Dong with the power of thunder.

Seeing this dangerous scene, Meng Hongchen almost broke free from Xiao Hongchen's grasp and rushed forward, but after hearing Lin Dong's thoughts, she suppressed her panic and continued to prepare their Martial Soul Fusion Technique with Xiao Hongchen.

Du Bu Si watched the scene unfold from below the stage, a hint of interest flickering in his dark green eyes. He was eager to see how Lin Dong would respond to this situation.

Just as the three were about to completely surround Lin Dong, the flying soul tool behind Lin Dong was summoned and shot upwards into the sky.

Even if he were very confident, he wouldn't be foolish enough to face three powerful enemies of unknown origin alone. A hint of joy flashed in Chen Cheng's eyes, and his left arm suddenly grew longer and thicker.

The hand reached out directly towards Lin Dong, but Lin Dong suddenly unleashed a burst of Yuan energy, increasing his speed and dodging Chen Cheng's outstretched hand.

Chen Cheng cursed under his breath, a fleeting hint of regret flashing in his eyes. Meanwhile, the Soul Emperor named Chen Tong remained calm, and his right arm, just like Chen Cheng's left arm, suddenly underwent the same change.

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

Jin Ke grabbed at the finish line of Lin Dong's acceleration, and at the same time launched an attack. The white jade light flowed on his body, and he pushed off the ground with his toes, throwing a punch at Lin Dong at a terrifying speed.

Seeing Jin Ke charging straight at him and the white jade hand less than a meter away, Lin Dong showed no sign of panic.

The next second, to everyone's astonishment, Lin Dong appeared behind Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

Jin Ke's powerful punch missed its mark, and Chen Cheng's grown right arm returned to normal. This astonishing scene plunged the scene into a deathly silence.

As disciples of the Body Sect, Jin Ke and his two companions knew almost nothing about soul tools, and since this teleportation ring was extremely rare, they naturally had no idea what was going on.

Chen Cheng was so astonished that he exclaimed, "Impossible! How could a Soul Master like you possibly control the power of space?!"

If it weren't for the presence of Du Bu Si and two elders from the sect, he would have even accused Lin Dong of cheating.

A hint of seriousness appeared in Jin Ke's eyes. Although the sect leader had warned him that Lin Dong was not easy to deal with, he did not expect that this guy could actually use spatial power.

But he quickly dismissed this strange idea. How could a Soul Master possibly control the spatial power that even Poison Undying couldn't master? The other party must have used some special means.

Poison Immortal, sitting in the audience, naturally had sharp eyes and saw through everything, but a hint of unintentional admiration still appeared in his eyes.

Lin Dong's performance in the battle just now was impeccable. Facing the extremely coordinated encirclement of the three, he managed to escape only at the very last moment.

Furthermore, the technique of using soul power to accelerate was something he had never seen before performed by a young man under twenty.

What surprised him most was that Lin Dong's expression remained completely calm throughout, as if everything was under his control.

A look of relief flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes. It seemed that Lin Dong's decision was indeed correct. As the one who would lead the charge among the three, it was indeed most suitable to give him the teleportation ring.

Lin Dong was able to detect the true nature of the three opponents' martial souls with just one use of the Teleportation Ring. He certainly doesn't disappoint.

However, even if we figure out the specifics of the opponent's martial soul, it won't change the current huge disadvantage...

Lin Dong's thoughts were instantly transmitted to Meng Hongchen and the other person who were currently using the Martial Soul Fusion Technique:

"Jin Ke's main body is the upper half of his martial soul. After the martial soul is activated, the defensive power of the upper half of his body surpasses that of a Soul Saint."

Chen Cheng's main body's martial soul is his left arm. It seems that after activating his martial soul, the defensive capabilities of his left arm should be comparable to a level 62 Soul Emperor.

Chen Tong's original martial soul is her right arm. After activating her martial soul, her right arm changes similarly to Chen Cheng's left arm, and her defensive capabilities are close to those of a level 65 Soul Emperor.

It is worth noting that Chen Cheng and Chen Tong have extremely similar martial souls, which may indicate the possibility of them activating a martial soul fusion skill.

Hearing his unhurried explanation, Xiao Hongchen and his sister's expressions became extremely serious. The defensive power of these guys was simply outrageously abnormal!

Despite their feelings of regret, they couldn't afford to miss a single attack, as Jin Ke and his two companions on the other side seemed to have noticed their plans.

However, due to the strange scene Lin Dong had just witnessed, they did not react immediately. They were worried that if they rushed over, Lin Dong's figure would appear behind them.

But the next second they made a decision. Almost instantly, Chen Cheng and Chen Tong embraced each other, and their left and right arms grew larger at the same time, showing signs of slowly merging.

A giant hand slowly took shape, its surface gleaming with a white jade-like luster. The terrifying energy fluctuations emanating from that seemingly fair giant hand caused Jing Hongchen's expression to change.

The power of this Martial Soul Fusion Skill is almost approaching that of a top-tier Soul Saint's attack. He couldn't imagine who could withstand this move.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the palm did not fall towards Xiao Hongchen and the other person. Instead, it swung heavily at Lin Dong, who was holding the Silent Dragon Thunder Spear.

Jing Hongchen's expression changed, and the soul tool in his hand flashed with blue light, as if he was ready to rush to the rescue.

Unexpectedly, Lin Dong remained as calm and collected as ever, glancing indifferently at Xiao Hongchen and his sister, when suddenly a pale blue light shone from his chest…
