Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 117 Lin Dong: I'm familiar with this, let me handle it.

The moment the Red Dust Blessing was activated, Lin Dong's Great Sun Thunder Body was also pushed to its limit. With the simultaneous blessing of the two, Lin Dong's physical defense was comparable to that of a level 75 Soul Saint who did not use his Martial Soul True Body.

But facing an attack comparable to a peak Soul Saint, this defense was clearly insufficient. Jing Hongchen's eyes were filled with deep worry as she murmured, "Lin Dong, please don't be reckless..."

Just as everyone was holding their breath for Lin Dong, Jin Ke on the stage suddenly changed his expression. Lin Dong's figure disappeared at the same time as Xiao Hongchen and his sister. The next second, the three of them appeared behind Chen Cheng and Chen Tong at the same time.

This guy is incredibly cunning. He pretends to want to confront them head-on to lower their guard, but in reality, he's using his unorthodox methods to launch a sneak attack from behind. Although it's scheming, it's very effective.

Seeing this, Jing Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with a faint expectation. If the now-formed crimson-gold toad could successfully strike them from behind, it would surely weaken their combat power.

Jin Ke was too far away from the three of them at this moment, and it would be too late for him to rush back. However, as geniuses cultivated by the Body Sect, Chen Tong and Chen Cheng's Martial Soul Fusion Skill was not just about increasing power.

The enormous hand, which was about to miss its target, suddenly curved in a strange arc and struck the three people behind it.

Lin Dong and his two companions then noticed that their opponent was not unprepared. Chen Tong was looking at them with a cold gaze. They had obviously anticipated this, as Lin Dong's strange methods had been used more than once.

The two activated their Martial Soul Fusion Technique back-to-back to guard against a sneak attack from behind.

The two people inside the toad, Xiao Hongchen and his companion, looked solemn. These guys were indeed not so easy to deal with. They had used up all four teleportation rings they brought with them during the competition. Now they had no choice but to confront them head-on!

The toad's eyes, now a deep reddish-gold color, had acquired the same luster as the Zhu Qingbing toad. Inside its mouth, a faint vortex of deep reddish-gold swirled violently.

The next moment, a crimson-gold vortex spewed from its mouth, rushing towards the giant hand that was slapping at the three of them.

Under Meng Hongchen's anxious gaze, the giant palm collided violently with the vortex, and the next second, the howling vortex was directly shattered by the palm.

The enormous hand, radiating a jade-like luster, only dimmed slightly. This was the first time that Xiao Hongchen and his sister's Martial Soul Fusion Technique had suffered a loss, failing to inflict any damage on the opponent.

Fortunately, the crimson-gold vortex, after being dispersed, reassembled and spiraled upwards to block the terrifying palm from falling.

The two people inside the crimson-gold toad, Xiao Hongchen and his companion, were already pale-faced. The difference in their soul power was enormous, while their martial soul quality was comparable.

Barely managing to block twice was already a feat of all he could muster. With his bluish palm carrying the last of his strength, he struck down. Xiao Hongchen and his sister glanced anxiously at Lin Dong's performance, as if he wasn't ready yet.

Jin Ke wouldn't just stand there and watch; he shot towards the three of them. At that moment, Lin Dong suddenly opened his eyes and, as if by magic, shot out four crystal handprints in black, purple, blue, and green.

When the fist of Jin Ke, which was attacking the three of them, collided with his, Jin Ke's originally calm eyes suddenly filled with deep shock. This mysterious black handprint could actually absorb his soul power!

The purple handprint was filled with violent lightning power, the blue one contained extreme cold, and the green handprint was extremely strange. Although it was full of powerful life force, his intuition told him that it would be unpleasant to touch it.

What surprised him most was that, apart from the green handprint, the soul power fluctuations contained in the other three, and the attributes they represented, were all the most extreme he had ever seen in a long time!

Could this guy possess three ultimate martial souls?! If we include his spiritual power martial soul, does he really possess four at the same time? No, and there's also that mysterious green energy. Where did this monster come from?!

Jin Ke was stunned by the Qimen Seal Soul Power version that Lin Dong had conjured up, and for a moment he lost his composure. The next second, the green and ice-blue handprint turned into dust, and tiny particles of soul power seeped into his arm. In an instant, Lin Dong suddenly made a strange gesture, "Explode!"

Jin Ke, as expected of the number one young talent of the Body Sect, activated his soul power the moment the Ice Explosion Technique was activated, enveloping the foreign soul power that did not belong to him. Even so, Lin Dong's strange method still yielded some results.

His once radiant arm had dimmed considerably, and he coldly scrutinized Lin Dong. An attack from a Soul Venerable had nearly caused Lin Dong, a man with one foot in the Soul Saint realm, to suffer a great loss.

Even with his usual discipline and manners, he couldn't help but want to curse. Lin Dong wasn't too surprised when his attack failed, and the Silent Dragon Thunder Spear appeared in his hand.

"Silent Thunder Spear Technique: Fish Scale Spear!"

"Silent Thunder Spear Technique: Raging Python Spear!"

"Silent Thunder Spear Technique: Transformation Dragon Spear!"

"Silent Thunder Spear Technique: Heavenly Dragon Spear"

"Silent Thunder Spear Technique, Four Spears Combined into One!"

A dark green serpent, an ice-blue python, a dark purple dragon, and a dark black dragon—four illusory figures suddenly appeared and then quickly converged together.

It burst forth with a force that seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart, transforming into a strange, multicolored light and shadow that clashed fiercely with the giant jade palm.

This is the Silent Thunder Spear Technique, which Lin Dong improved upon based on the Heavenly Scale Halberd Technique. It combines all four major moves, resulting in its explosive power.

Although the quality of the Silent Dragon Thunder Spear is far inferior to that of the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd, it still possesses four different types of soul power. That's right, soul power. If he were to use Yuan power, Lin Dong's current level obviously wouldn't have enough Yuan power to support him.

Even if it's just soul power, this incredibly profound fusion power, combined with the fighting spirit of the Heavenly Scale Halberd Technique, can already be considered one of the trump cards he can currently use.

A massive golden light, like a celestial dragon, swept across the sky and, under the watchful eyes of countless people, crashed violently into the giant azure palm. Instantly, a storm of energy swept wildly from the sky.

Chen Tong and the other gritted their teeth and continuously channeled their soul power into the jade-like hand, trying to maintain its nascent shape.

Despite this, under the almost frenzied tearing of the deep black dragon, the hand that shimmered with the color of jade dimmed at an alarming speed and gradually dissipated under the attack of the three phantoms behind it.

Seeing this, Xiao Hongchen and the other man finally relaxed a little, their energy instantly dissipating. As the crimson-gold toad dissipated, a trickle of blood seeped from the corners of their mouths.

In order to buy Lin Dong enough time, they forcibly maintained the crimson-gold vortex to resist Chen Tong and the other's martial soul fusion technique.

Although Lin Dong weakened the power of their martial soul fusion skill, he also suffered a considerable backlash. If Lin Dong hadn't intervened in time, things would have been much worse than just blood trickling from their mouths.

However, the match would not stop because the two were weak, and Lin Dong was now in an extremely passive situation.

Jin Ke charged straight at him with a solemn expression. Chen Tong and the other two also split up, and the three of them attacked the weak Xiao Hongchen siblings at the same time.

Lin Dong and his two companions exchanged knowing smiles and simultaneously raised their hands, saying, "Referee, we concede defeat in the team competition."

After a moment of deathly silence, the referee stepped onto the stage. Jin Ke and the other two men, their faces grim, withdrew their attacks. They felt as if they had punched cotton; had they been tricked?

Looking at the three of them working together so well, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but smile. So far, apart from the injuries to Xiao Hongchen and his sister being under control, everything else was still within the plan.

Du Busi narrowed his eyes slightly. It was only because Jin Ke was calm that he could remain so. If it were any other disciple of the Body Sect, with their fiery tempers, being toyed with by a few people whose strength was far inferior to their own would have made them lose their minds.

From Chen Cheng's heavy breathing, one could tell the three men's moods. Du Busi's eyes revealed a hint of covetousness. This Lin Dong was simply a promising talent. If they weren't in Tiandou City, he would have already snatched him away.

He clicked his tongue in slight regret, then suddenly remembered the generous rewards from the Sun Moon Empire. An idea popped into his head, and he forced a smile at Jing Hongchen:

"Hehe, Dean Hongchen, although your reward is very generous, may I ask to discuss changing it?"

Looking at the smiling Poison Undying, Jing Hongchen asked warily, "What reward?"

Poison Immortal's eyes narrowed into a cunning smile: "Heh, we don't want any of those rewards you set," he said, then pointed at Lin Dong.

"All we need to do is hand this little guy over to our Body Sect. Our Body Sect is still lacking a true successor."

Upon hearing this, an eerie silence fell over the surroundings. A hint of unease flickered in Long Aotian's eyes. What did his master mean by this? But he shouldn't act too impulsively...

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

Jin Peng, however, spoke frankly: "Sect Master, you mustn't! Although this kid has some skills, apart from his powerful physique, his physical martial soul hasn't shown anything special. This doesn't comply with the rules of our Body Sect!"

Before he could refute, Jin Peng gestured with his chin towards Di Long Aotian beside him:

"Besides, don't we have Aotian? Although he's only a Silver-level Awakening cultivator, we've all seen his hard work. Can that kid compare to Aotian?"

Poison Undying's gaze was indifferent, as if he were discussing something as normal as eating and drinking:

"I'm doing this for the sake of the sect. Although this kid didn't use his true martial soul openly, do you think he could have controlled the timing so well without extremely sharp mental power?"

"The sect has made up its mind. We'll discuss everything else after we bring this boy back to the sect..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jing Hongchen snorted coldly, "You're thinking too highly of yourself, Poison Sect Master. Don't even mention one level nine soul tool, even if you added two more, I wouldn't trade Lin Dong for it."

He paused, then spoke again, "Besides, are you convinced we've already lost the match? There are still individual competitions to go, why are you already asking for the prize? You're being far too impatient."

Although Jing Hongchen's voice was not loud, his powerful tone resonated throughout the entire arena.

Poison Undying was clearly stunned by his words, and after a moment of stunned silence, he let out a cold laugh:

"Hmph, I'd like to see how you manage to get three people whose soul power is nearly exhausted to achieve a complete victory against three of my Body Sect's prodigies."

Jing Hongchen scoffed in return, "Then you'll just have to watch."

Apart from Jing Hongchen, everyone present unconsciously showed a hint of disdain on their faces, clearly believing that Jing Hongchen was merely comforting himself.

A chorus of ridicule erupted from the surrounding students and onlookers:

"Aren't the people from the Sun and Moon Sect just being stubborn and suffering for it? Doesn't Jing Hongchen worry about the safety of the students? Who dares to challenge Jin Ke alone? The disciples of the Body Sect are already emotional; aren't they afraid the students will be seriously injured?"

"Yes, what are these big shots thinking? It's a situation where they can't win no matter how you look at it, why do they have to act rashly?"

"Shh, don't let him hear us. If these bastards go crazy, none of us will escape."

"That's true. Hopefully, the referees will protect the opposing team's students as much as possible and prevent them from going crazy. If things escalate, it won't be good for anyone..."

Let alone the Sun Moon team in its depleted state, even at their peak, no one believed they could defeat the disciples of the Body Sect.

The three of them had only gained the upper hand by using some unexpected methods, but it was clear that in the final confrontation, they would lose.

The three of them almost exerted all their strength to neutralize the opponent's martial soul fusion skill without Jin Ke making a move.

Although they had exhausted a lot of the soul power of the enemy's Chen Tong and Chen Cheng, they were clearly at their limit. Who could take on this heavy responsibility?

The other Super Douluo standing nearby, who was also poisoned, couldn't help but speak up with a sarcastic remark:

"Dean Hongchen really believes in your children, but unfortunately, he has misplaced his confidence, which will only lead to disappointment."

Even Ye Yulin and Lin Jiayi looked at Jing Hongchen with complicated expressions. According to the competition rules, the team competition is worth two points, and the individual competition is worth three points in total (three matches).

In all previous matches, they had won the team matches with overwhelming force and had never played individual matches against their opponents. But now, the situation is that Sun and Moon cannot afford to lose a single individual match.

This is a hopeless situation! Choose one of the three, Lin Dong, and have him win three consecutive matches against the opponent. No substitutions are allowed in the middle.

This is a situation where defeat is inevitable. The opponent could wear Lin Dong down with their soul power. There's simply no way they can win this battle!

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Yulin gently tugged at Jing Hongchen's sleeve and whispered:

"Dean, perhaps we should just let it go. Although the losses are considerable, we can still afford them. Let's not further damage the face of our empire."

Jing Hongchen's forehead veins bulged instantly, but considering Ye Yulin's status, he could only suppress his anger and said coldly:

"Elder Ye, I will bear all the consequences myself. Say no more!"

Seeing his anger, Ye Yulin could only sigh softly, "Well then, tell me, who should we send to fight?"

A bright smile appeared on Lin Dong's face as he stepped off the arena:

"Leave it to me, it's not the first time I've done this."
