Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 125 Wang Dong: Am I here to undergo tribulation after going to school?

Inside a simple military tent in the coastal region of Xingluo.

A tall man, nearly two meters tall, stood there. He looked to be in his thirties, with regular features, deep-set eyes, and very bright blue eyes. His face looked slightly thin, but he had a metallic quality to his whole being.

Looking at the nearly 150,000 troops behind him, Dai Hao showed no sign of panic, but rather a relaxed sense of control. He turned to Du Leisi and asked:

"Didn't His Majesty say that the Star Crown Sect would also come to assist us? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

Du Leisi bowed respectfully and reported to the leader:

"Reporting back to the Marshal, it seems the Star Crown Sect has been in seclusion for many years, so it will take them a little longer to get here. However, they will definitely arrive before nightfall tonight, and they never miss a battle opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Dai Hao hummed in agreement, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes:

"Now that I have captured Riyue and the others, I must personally interrogate Lin Dong to find out what kind of grudge he has against my White Tiger Duke's Mansion that led to Zhu Ling and Hua Bin being in this state."

Even if my marriage to her family is arranged and our relationship is not deep, it still concerns the reputation of my White Tiger Duke's Mansion. How can I allow an outsider to bully my Duchess and son like this?

If it weren't for the pressing affairs of state, I would have rushed back to Xingluo City long ago to find out the reason for His Majesty's actions.

Looking at the imposing Dai Hao before him, Du Leisi could only nod silently, then changed the subject:

"Marshal, the eight Title Douluos in the army are ready. Xuanji Douluo is in the Mingdou Mountains, deceiving the people of the Sun Moon Empire. It seems that they have not yet discovered our nighttime troop relocation."

Dai Hao snorted coldly: "So what if they find out? Mingde Hall is destroyed. Even if the Sun Moon Empire is angry, they have to keep it to themselves. As long as we can intercept and kill Jing Hongchen and the others here today, we can ensure the safety of the continent for a hundred years."

Moreover, the Central Legion is the elite of the elite. Even if they discover us, with the advantage of the terrain and the remaining eight Title Douluos, including Xuanji Douluo, they will be able to hold out until we complete our mission here.

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

"Each of the eight titled Douluos will lead a small team, equipped with signal flares. Once they spot Jing Hongchen and the others, they must not linger in battle, but immediately fire the signal flares."

"yes!"

Du Leisi bowed and left the military tent. Dai Hao's eyes held an unreadable expression as he murmured:

"I have dedicated my life to guarding the borders of my country. How could Lin Dong, a man from the Sun Moon Empire, have a grudge against Hua Bin? Fortunately, everything will be resolved in the next few days..."

Sun and Moon Empire, Mingdou Mountain Range Garrison.

The leader of the Evil Lord Soul Master Legion, Mad Bull Douluo Wang Yiheng, stood in the military tent. Just as he picked up his teacup, a figure wearing special armor hurriedly entered the tent.

Wang Yiheng quickly put down his teacup and knelt down before the middle-aged man who resembled a messenger. The man pulled a yellow scroll from his robes and read aloud:

"By order of His Majesty, Shrek Academy members have been caught in a sneak attack on Mingde Hall the night before and have escaped. Now, Wang Yiheng, the leader of the Evil Lord Soul Fighter Legion, is ordered to lead the army of Mingdou Mountain Range to intercept Shrek Academy members at all costs."

The enemy is powerful, with at least one Limit Douluo and more than twenty Title Douluos. We only need to contain them and not fight them head-on. The reinforcements sent by the Empire will arrive in time. Starting today, strengthen the defenses of the Mingdou Mountains and do not let the thieves escape.

Furthermore, this information has not yet been made public and must not be disclosed to unrelated individuals.

"My lord, I obey your order!"

Wang Yiheng suppressed his shock, knelt down to receive the imperial edict, and then stood up. Although he knew that this task would be difficult to complete, he dared not disobey the imperial edict.

After exchanging pleasantries with the envoy and seeing him off, Wang Yiheng, overcome with emotion, trembled and muttered to himself:

"What's wrong with Shrek Academy?! They've brought twenty Title Douluos to attack Mingde Hall. How am I supposed to hold them off?"

Suppressing all his doubts and excitement, he roared towards the outside of the tent:

"Guards! Effective immediately, the army will be led by eighth-level soul masters to strengthen patrols, and will be equipped with signal flares. If any suspicious persons are encountered, the signal will be fired immediately, and the entire army will enter a state of first-level combat readiness."

A man, seemingly in the position of an adjutant, entered the tent, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said in a deep voice, "Yes!"

After seeing the adjutant leave, Wang Yiheng covered his head in worry and sighed:

"This situation is far too dire. It would be extremely difficult for this army to even hold off twenty Title Douluos, let alone with a legendary Limit Douluo leading them. Sigh, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it..."

It is located 10 kilometers outside the Mingdou Mountains.

Dressed in black, Yan Shaozhe looked at Mu En and asked:

"Elder Mu, with this large group of researchers, it's impossible for us to pass through the Mingdou Mountains undetected. I'm afraid we'll have no choice but to break through by force."

Moon waved his hand calmly: "No rush. Go and have the elders who are good at stealth scout ahead. If so many of us launch a surprise attack, we should be able to cripple the enemy instantly, which will also reduce unnecessary casualties."

Yan Shaozhe replied "Yes," turned around to do it, and Mu En, looking worried, whispered:

"I wonder if the Star Luo Empire has received the news yet. If we can get help from the Star Luo garrison, then this matter will be no longer a concern..."

Inside Shrek City.

After parting ways with Xiao Hongchen and the others, Lin Dong and the other three arrived at the east side of Shrek City.

The three of them glanced around and noticed that the streets in the eastern part of Shrek City were much quieter than those in the south. Jing Hongchen couldn't help but remark:

"Lin Dong, when do we begin our operation?"

Lin Dong led them to a secluded alley, looking around as he spoke:

"Judging from the situation on this street and the guards at the city gate, Shrek Academy should be prepared. There aren't many pedestrians on the street, and there are more students patrolling. So, before we move out, I'll show you three something."

The three looked puzzled, and Ye Yulin couldn't help but wonder:

Time is of the essence now! Every extra moment we linger in Shrek City increases the risk of us being unable to leave. And now Lin Dong actually wants us to watch things in an alley? Is he kidding me?!

Although Lin Dong had previously demonstrated some strategic acumen, his unconventional approach relied more on courage, and Ye Yulin naturally could not condone his time-wasting behavior.

Lin Jiayi, being the lowest in status among the three, did not voice his doubts, but his furrowed brows revealed that he was also slightly dissatisfied with Lin Dong's actions.

Ye Yulin glanced at Lin Jiayi, then turned her head to examine Jing Hongchen, who was smiling patiently. Ye Yulin couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"Lin Dong, you know the drawbacks of us level nine soul masters—the preparation time is too long. Isn't it a bit too leisurely of you to be wasting time looking at things here?"

Seeing Ye Yulin's puzzled expression, Lin Dong smiled and explained:

"Don't rush, Senior Ye. You'll know whether it's a waste of time or not after you finish reading it." After saying that, he turned to look at Jing Hongchen: "Relax, Dean."

Although Jing Hongchen was puzzled, he was different from Ye Yulin. Regarding Lin Dong's actions, he only had two words: trust.

To the astonishment of Ye Yulin and Lin Jiayi, Lin Dong did not release his martial soul. The air around him distorted slightly, and Jing Hongchen vanished into thin air.

Ye Yulin coughed twice in shame, his face flushing red as he awkwardly said:

"It was an impulsive act on my part. I didn't expect you to have this skill. Although I don't know how you did it, your invisibility technique is absolutely crucial."

Lin Dong simply smiled and said, "Senior, you're too kind. This invisibility technique is a skill I developed based on a simulated soul skill. I simulated the Dean as my shadow to achieve a visual invisibility effect."

Although it cannot be touched and would be exposed in front of powerful people, it is sufficient to fool pedestrians on the street.

Ye Yulin coughed in agreement, "You're right, let's get started then."

Lin Jiayi quickly nodded in agreement: "As expected, the dean has a sharp eye; Elder Ye and I were mistaken."

Jing Hongchen laughed and joked, "I've just been slapped in the face so many times that I've lost the courage to question."

The slightly awkward atmosphere instantly lightened up after his words. Lin Dong clasped his hands in a fist salute and grinned, saying:

"Later, I will be responsible for using my mental detection soul skill to provide you with accuracy. I ask the three seniors not to hold back and to fire as many soul-guided cannons as you have. Once the enemy reacts, it may not be so easy to deal with them."

The three of them couldn't help but shiver when they saw Lin Dong's harmless smile. Shrek Academy had really had the worst luck in the world to mess with this kid.

Joking aside, the three of them wouldn't hesitate when it came to taking action; various soul-guided projectiles in their soul tools were already ready to be unleashed.

After the three nodded, Lin Dong changed into a coarse linen outfit, disguising himself as a beggar-like boy.

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

The air around him distorted slightly, and his shadow seemed to gain some weight as he slowly walked out of the alley and headed towards the Shrek City gate.

The students at the city gate looked at Lin Dong, who was dressed in rags, but they did not feel any pity for him. After all, the students at Shrek Academy were all of noble birth, and they would only think that the beggar was not trying hard enough.

Moreover, the academy's higher-ups have instructed that Shrek Academy is currently under martial law, and all unrelated personnel must stay away from the academy gates.

Lin Dong glanced at the patrolling students and made a rough estimate of their strength. He didn't expect Shrek Academy to send out Soul King level students to patrol.

Just as he was feeling a sense of wonder, a young man in uniform walked towards Lin Dong, waving his hands and shouting:

"Hey, get out of here, you stinking beggar! Didn't you see the notice at the entrance? Non-Shrek students are not allowed to enter. Go, go, go!"

The young man, who had been forcibly sent out to patrol by the academy, was already somewhat resentful. He kept shouting and even tried to push Lin Dong.

Seeing the palm swinging towards him, a cold glint flashed in Lin Dong's eyes. Just as he was about to make a move, a hand as smooth as jade reached out and blocked the unreasonable young man to the side. A cold voice rang out: "Leave it to me."

The unreasonable young man looked at the beauty in front of him, blushed, and scratched his head: "Then I'll leave it to Senior Sister Ling."

Before leaving, he gave Lin Dong a cryptic look. He never expected that this little beggar would somehow manage to get the famously cold and beautiful Senior Sister Ling Luochen from the Inner Academy to talk to him by some unexpected turn of events.

The resentment in his heart vanished almost instantly, and he walked back to the city gate with a satisfied smile to continue his patrol.

Lin Dong raised his eyes and glanced at the aloof beauty in front of him. Her icy skin and cold temperament, although somewhat similar to the Ice Master, were ultimately inferior.

Just as Lin Dong was about to turn and leave, Ling Luochen suddenly spoke up: "Wait, this is for you."

Looking at the glistening bread in front of him, Lin Dong was somewhat taken aback. He hadn't expected that, like Qingzhu, she was a person with a cold exterior but a warm heart.

However, he naturally didn't expect that Ling Qingzhu was only interested in him. In order not to arouse suspicion, Lin Dong still took the bread and replied in a low voice, "Thank you."

Watching Lin Dong turn and leave, a hint of interest flashed in Ling Luochen's beautiful eyes. Her family background wasn't particularly good, and the academy's promise to compensate her for giving up the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone was still nowhere to be seen.

The academy suffered a complete loss of face in this competition. After Elder Xuan returned, he was immediately dismissed from his post. The academy offered certain rewards to the preliminary team members.

Among the surviving regular team members, Ma Xiaotao was recuperating at the Sea God Pavilion, but Ling Luochen was neglected. Perhaps seeing Lin Dong's appearance just now, Ling Luochen also felt a strange loneliness.

A hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

Well, I'll graduate this year anyway. I'll be all alone, with no ties to anyone. I don't have any friends in the academy, and I don't have any major grudges against the Sun and Moon Empire. Maybe I can find a good job in the Sun and Moon Empire?

Many people who originally belonged to the Three Kingdoms went to the Sun and Moon Empire. The treatment in the Sun and Moon Empire was much better than in these countries. Making money is not shameful, and it's better than just patrolling here all the time.

Thinking this to himself, Ling Luochen slowly turned around, unaware that Lin Dong was squatting 500 meters away from Shrek City, his eyes flashing with a faint gray aura.

Thus, this dramatic scene unfolded: right under the noses of these patrolling students, Jing Hongchen and his two companions, with the help of Lin Dong's simulated soul skill, were preparing to launch a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon.

Inside Shrek Academy.

Xuanzi, currently the most senior member of the academy, was giving a pep talk to the students about 500 meters from the main gate, under Song Yunzhi's somewhat troubled gaze.

"Everyone, since you elders are out on a mission, although I believe no villain would dare to attack Shrek Academy, for your safety, it is naturally safest to stay with me and Elder Song."

After hearing his words, Song Yunzhi felt that there was no major problem. She and Xuanzi were indeed the strongest fighting force in the academy, and it was reasonable to gather them together in order to protect the most important students of the academy.

Watching the passionate Xuanzi from below the stage, Wang Dong suddenly recalled his experience in the Star Dou Great Forest that day and couldn't help but shake his head.

If it weren't for that Emperor Tian's intervention, we would have definitely had to rely on my eldest and second uncles again. But what happened to those elders? Hopefully nothing bad has happened to them...

Just as Wang Dong was filled with doubt, Xuan Zi's expression suddenly changed, and Song Yunzhi seemed to sense it as well. The two of them instantly revealed their true martial spirit forms.

A cannonball enveloped in an energy halo streaked across the sky, its surface swirling with complex runes and light—a product of the perfect fusion of soul-guided technology and natural soul power.

These seemingly small shells were, in the eyes of Xuanzi and Song Yunzhi, deadly threats that they would avoid at all costs.

The legendary Level 9 Fixed-Motion Soul-Guided Cannonball, a specialty product only available to the Sun Moon Empire!

The two of them no longer had time to think about where this thing came from or how it managed to hit them so accurately; their eyes were filled with deep horror.

Xuanzi made a strange hand gesture, and inside the Sea God Pavilion, the Golden Tree burst forth with a dazzling light. A golden shield suddenly appeared above the academy.

At this moment, Wang Dong felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind:

It's like my wish came true! Last time I was bombarded by three level-eight soul-guided cannonballs and some kind of broken laser, and this time it's been upgraded to level nine?! Did I come to school to undergo tribulation?!
