Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 133: A New Realm Awakens, Old Friends Reunited?

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen replied calmly, "Lin Dong used some methods to change their appearances, allowing them to leave Xingluo City through normal channels."

"So how did you guys get here? Didn't they say Xingluo sent a large army to garrison them?"

Jing Hongchen glanced at Lin Dong indifferently and chuckled softly, "It's not convenient to tell Elder Long about this matter."

Long Xiaoyao seemed to notice his movements and couldn't help but be surprised:

Could this matter also be related to Lin Dong? How could three level nine soul masters rely on a junior with the strength of a soul master? Tsk tsk, it seems that Lin Dong is not as simple as he seems.

Lin Dong glanced at Long Xiaoyao, his heart filled with some doubt:

I was so focused on talking that I didn't notice, but why does this person have an aura similar to that of Qing Tan? Could it be that the spatial turbulence has also brought that girl here?

No, that can't be. I remember throwing them out back then. It shouldn't be. What else could it be?

Dark Ancestral Symbol!

Lin Dong then realized that this mysterious and dark aura had many similarities with the Dark Ancestral Symbol and the Lord of Darkness. However, judging from this guy's appearance, he didn't seem to be able to control the Ancestral Symbol.

It seems that at least two ancestral symbols have been located. The Life and Death Ancestral Symbol is related to Di Tian, ​​and it should be difficult to obtain it in the short term.

However, this old guy in front of me seems to be quite strong. If I don't rely on Xue Di, it will be difficult for me to find out the whereabouts of the Dark Ancestral Symbol.

Right now, the only way to significantly improve one's combat power is probably to find a way to refine the Great Sun Thunder Body to its full potential, and also the secret technique of the Body Sect's second awakening.

However, I need to reach the Soul King level first. It seems that after returning to the academy, I'll have to focus on cultivation for a while. The only way to level up in the outside world is probably through pills...

Seeing Lin Dong deep in thought, Long Xiaoyao was somewhat puzzled but remained silent, instead looking at Jing Hongchen and saying:

"Master of the Red Dust Hall, you should know that Shrek Academy still has two Limit Douluos, right? As for that photo, why don't we leave it in the Mingde Hall and not make things too awkward?"

A hint of displeasure flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes. He glanced at Lin Dong, who remained silent, and retorted:

"There's no need for Elder Long to worry about this. If I don't make a big fuss about what Lin Dong fought for, how can I be worthy of his efforts?"

Seeing Jing Hongchen's firm stance, Long Xiaoyao could only nod calmly.

"Don't blame me for not warning you if Shrek goes crazy and does something reckless."

"Hmph, no need for you to bother." Jing Hongchen was clearly also dissatisfied with Long Xiaoyao's repeated defense of Shrek Academy, so he snorted coldly and stopped talking.

On the other side, the Shrek group crossed the Mingdou Mountains and happened to run into Dai Hao, who was leading a large army. Yan Shaozhe seemed to know him and understood after a moment of surprise.

No wonder Lin Dong and the others arrived at the Sun Moon Garrison unscathed. It turns out that the Star Luo Garrison had all gone off to do their own thing on a raiding mission!

He glanced at Dai Hao with a cold face and said sarcastically:

"Duke Baihu is truly a master strategist. With hundreds of thousands of troops under your command, you can go wherever you want. Speed ​​is indeed of the essence in warfare."

Sensing the sarcasm in his words, Dai Hao blushed. What a coincidence! How could he have run into Shrek Academy's people? If they knew he had led hundreds of thousands of troops to a point of no return, he would be a laughingstock. He quickly feigned composure and changed the subject:

"You're all overthinking it. To better defend the Mingdou Mountains, I simply led the army in a short drill. By the way, since you've all returned safely, you must have achieved something, right?"

Upon hearing this, the elders of Shrek Academy immediately blushed and glared at Dai Hao, their faces turning red. Yan Shaozhe snorted coldly, "Don't worry about it!"

Dai Hao, who was inexplicably choked by a mouthful of dust, could only swallow his anger and hold his nose. The other party was the dean of Shrek Academy, whom even the emperors of the Three Kingdoms would treat with respect.

As a mere duke, he naturally couldn't afford to offend them. Watching Mu En and the others leave in a panic, Dai Hao muttered to himself:

"Judging from their appearance, they must have suffered a setback with the Sun and Moon faction..."

Twenty days later, at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

On the pristine white bed, Lin Dong slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes sharpening considerably. Sensing the increased aura within him, he said with some excitement:

"He's already at level 41, a Soul Master? That seems equivalent to someone who's just entered the Heavenly Origin Realm. I wonder what level he'll be equivalent to when he reaches Soul King..."

After such a long competition, Lin Dong, who had been in a state of combat the whole time, parted ways with Xue Di, reunited with Xiao Hongchen and others, and successfully returned to the academy. He then avoided the grand welcoming ceremony held by the Sun and Moon Emperor and plunged into his room to cultivate.

Finally, today, he has completely consolidated the cultivation he accumulated in the battle, and his realm has even jumped three levels. This is all thanks to the low energy concentration in this plane. If he were in Tianxuan, he would never dare to jump levels like this.

He stood up and stretched: "It's time to go out for a stroll. I didn't expect that after only a few days of cultivation, this body would actually feel hungry. If I could get my hands on the Primordial Dragon Bone, my cultivation level would definitely improve significantly."

As soon as he pushed open the door, Xiao Hongchen was waiting there with a grin, poking him twice in the chest and saying cheekily:

"Cultivation maniac, you've finally shown up. You've been stealing the limelight from me and Meng Hongchen. Every time there's a social event like this, I, the young master, have to take the fall for you."

Lin Dong gave a helpless twitch of his lips: "Alright, alright, what are you waiting at my door so early in the morning? Just say what you want to say."

"We have a batch of new trainees today, quite a few of them are pretty. How about we come and take a look? Meng is waiting for us at the door."

Lin Dong opened his mouth, about to refuse, when he was pulled onto the shoulder by the other man, who chuckled and said:

"Let's go. My cultivation is almost causing problems. It's time to see something pleasing to the eye and lift my spirits."

Lin Dong's face twitched, and he pulled him aside with a hint of helplessness, whispering:

"Forget it, let's go eat first. I just finished my cultivation and I'm not in the mood for that nonsense."

Xiao Hongchen seemed to have been reminded of something, and patted his head: "Oh right, let's go then. I'll have dinner with you first, and we'll watch it later, hehe..."

Lin Dong glanced at his idiotic expression and couldn't help but complain:

"I've heard that the young master of a certain wealthy family only knows how to smile shyly when he sees a girl?"

"You!...What do you know? A proper sense of distance is more beneficial to relationships. This is a secret, and I don't usually tell it to just anyone."

Lin Dong slapped him on the back of the head: "Alright, alright, stop reading those inappropriate comics and tidy up the things under your bed."

"How did you know... wait, who had something under their bed? It must have been Meng who told you!"

Lin Dong smiled faintly, but before he could answer, he heard a melodious female voice:

"Lin Dong, you're here! I've been waiting for you two for ages. Let me show you around the freshman registration area. Of course, keep your eyes open."

Seeing Meng Hongchen's smiling face, Lin Dong's lips twitched:

"No, the food is more appealing than the women."

Meng Hongchen suddenly moved closer to him and exclaimed in surprise:

"Wait a minute, how did you reach Soul Master level so quickly, and at level forty-one at that? Xiao and I haven't even broken through to the next level yet! You're a monster!"

Xiao Hongchen simply shook his head nonchalantly:

"Ugh, this guy's been a monster for a while now. I figured it out just now, but I don't want to discourage myself anymore. Let's not compare ourselves to him. Let's go eat."

Amidst laughter, the three quickly arrived at the cafeteria. After a simple meal prepared by the top chef, Lin Dong casually remarked, "I'm full. I'm going back to cultivate now."

Leaving the two furious men behind, he headed towards his residence. On the way, as he pondered whether to unleash the full power of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to accelerate his cultivation progress, a fragrant breeze wafted into his nostrils.

Sensing this somewhat familiar aura, Lin Dong slightly raised his eyes and saw an extremely familiar beautiful figure. The beautiful figure with long ice-blue hair almost made Lin Dong subconsciously freeze on the spot.

Staring blankly at the figure a dozen meters away, the one he would search for even if it meant traversing countless reincarnations, Lin Dong murmured in disbelief:

"No way... Huanhuan, could it be that Huanhuan's soul ended up in this dimension?"

Lin Dong, who was never flustered in normal times, was now trembling with excitement. The figure he had been thinking about day and night was right in front of him, but he did not have the courage to take a step.

Tears had unknowingly soaked the boy's resolute face. Filled with countless complex emotions, he rushed forward and pulled the blue-clad figure close.

Looking at that all-too-familiar face, Lin Dong's state of mind was beyond words. A complex mix of emotions swirled on his face. The boy stubbornly bit his lip, and a trembling voice escaped from between his teeth:

"Huanhuan...I've finally found you!"

A wave of overwhelming sorrow washed over the blue-clad figure. The next second, Lin Dong stood frozen, as if he had lost his soul. Huanhuan, opposite him, spoke softly:

"Human, you've mistaken me for someone else. I only used this face because I thought she was pretty."

After a long while, in the auspicious beast's bright, icy blue eyes, Lin Dong, who had just been incredibly excited, suddenly revealed a chilling killing intent:

"Are you that spirit beast from that day? Why are you impersonating her?"

Feeling the pain in her wrist, the auspicious beast couldn't help but panic. She hadn't expected that her impulsive act would cause such a strong emotional reaction in him.

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

You're hurting me!

The auspicious beast's scream brought Lin Dong back to his senses. His eyes were icy as he stared at the screaming beast, his tone filled with a strong warning:

"Let's change the subject. I'm not talking to you about this. You're not even worth a single hair on her head. If you're still like this when we meet next time, I won't show any mercy."

Then, she forcefully shook off the auspicious beast's wrist, as if all her strength had been drained, and turned to leave.

Amidst the cheerful laughter of the surrounding students, Lin Dong stumbled along, like a wound-up puppet.

Ignoring the pain in her wrist, the auspicious beast's eyes were filled with shock. She hadn't expected that just a face could cause this young man, who hadn't shown any emotion even when facing Di Tian, ​​to experience such a dramatic shift in his emotions, from ecstasy to despair.

Can human emotions really be this intense...? Perhaps I should apologize to him...

Lin Dong walked for an unknown amount of time before returning to his room in a daze. He collapsed onto the soft bed, as memories flooded his mind.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Dong slowly opened his eyes, looking at the illusory yet real world around him. He clenched his fist in front of his eyes, then released it, then clenched it again, and gave a self-deprecating smile.

"Yes, Huanhuan has the power to help others become ancestors, how could she possibly be in a plane where even a Nirvana Realm cultivator struggles to emerge? I guess I was overthinking it..."

"Huanhuan? Lin Dong, is she someone very important to you? You've been unconscious for ten days, we were all worried sick about you."

Hearing Tianmeng's concerned voice from within the Sea of ​​Spirit, Lin Dong snapped out of his daze, and his lips twitched slightly.

"Yes, it's very important."

"So, your obsession with power is because you want to resurrect her?"

Lin Dong was taken aback at first, then overjoyed and said, "You mean, you have a way to resurrect someone?"

Tianmeng shook her head with some distress: "Alas, although I want to help you, I have been resting for millions of years, and I am willing but unable to do so."

"Get lost! All you do all day is eat and sleep, how could you possibly know anything?"

Hearing Hyotei's mocking laughter, Tenmu showed no displeasure on her face, and said as if grasping at a straw:

"By the way, Bingbing, you should know her, right? After all, you've been staying outside for four hundred thousand years, so you must have heard of her."

"Hyotei, if there's any way, you must tell me. I, Lin Dong, will remember your kindness."

Seeing the determination in Lin Dong's reddened eyes, Hyotei sighed with a touch of melancholy:

"No problem, I'll tell you. However, the conditions for reviving a person are very demanding, and it may be difficult to gather all the necessary materials."

"Just tell me what you need, and I'll find a way to gather the materials. No one can stop me."

Hyotei nodded after hearing this and slowly began to speak:

"It is said that ten thousand years ago, a god who now holds a high position in the divine realm resurrected his lover, reportedly using rare materials such as ten-thousand-year-old sacred soul grass, ten-thousand-year-old ninth-grade ginseng king, and the inner core of an ancient spirit beast."

The caster's cultivation level must reach the Title Douluo level, and they must sacrifice their own soul bone and soul ring. Gathering all these materials is incredibly difficult.

Upon hearing this, a flicker of emotion crossed Lin Dong's eyes, and he nodded with utmost seriousness.

"I understand, thank you. Have you heard of any places where these herbs have been found?"

Hyotei shook his head helplessly and sighed, "I heard that after that god, many rare herbs disappeared without a trace. Although some people in the lower realms speculate that it might be related to that god, there is no substantial evidence. However..."

"But what?"

"Perhaps you could try asking a sect called Tang Clan. It's said that the mysterious deity has a connection with Tang Clan, and you might be able to find a clue."

Lin Dong felt a headache coming on after hearing this and said, "Tang Clan? Didn't Tang Ya say that it was just a sect specializing in hidden weapons? How come it's related to spiritual herbs?"

It seems the only option is to improve my strength first, then go to Shrek Academy to invite Tang Ya over and ask her. There's no other way; I've somehow gotten involved with Shrek Academy again. This is truly a headache.

Suddenly, the old man's aged voice rang out: "Hehe, little fellow, strength is the foundation of everything. Even if you know the whereabouts of that treasure, you haven't reached the cultivation level of a Title Douluo yet. Focus on your cultivation first."

Lin Dong nodded in agreement. Now that he knew there was hope of reviving Huanhuan, he couldn't just sit idly by and wait for his fate. He had to go all out in his cultivation of the Ancestral Symbol...
