Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 14 I'll show you, you'll really do it?

"What? I have to read a book! Why is that so complicated? Isn't there a way to directly feed information into my brain?"

Lin Dong followed Xuan Ziwen to the laboratory. After hearing Xuan Ziwen's suggestion that he go to the library to read books when he had time, Lin Dong frowned and said.

Xuan Ziwen turned to look at Lin Dong with some confusion after hearing this. Didn't Dean Hongchen say that this child had an excellent character? How could he say such a thing?

Lin Dong, seeing the look in his eyes, immediately realized the inappropriateness of his words and quickly forced a genuine smile:

"I was just kidding, teacher. I lost my parents when I was young and didn't get much education. Please don't mind, teacher."

Seeing his clear eyes, Xuan Ziwen dispelled his doubts and felt a pang of pity. He realized the boy was a pitiful child. He then smiled gently and said:

"Hehe, I also fantasized like that when I was a child. If you really can't concentrate on your studies, I can spend time teaching you by example, but the premise is that you have to show enough value to cultivate. You should understand this principle."

Seeing the look in his eyes, Lin Dong nodded with relief: "Okay, teacher, then please explain the basic principles of soul tools."

Xuan Ziwen paused for a moment after hearing this, but still nodded patiently. After a brief introduction lasting over an hour, Xuan Ziwen handed Lin Dong a level-one soul tool and said softly:

"You study this most basic core formation first. I'll go and get busy for a bit. You can ask me any questions you have."

Lin Dong nodded after listening, took the soul tool and began to think about it. With Xuan Ziwen's explanation, he had figured out the principle of the soul tool.

However, this thing seems to be much more troublesome than the Heavenly Profound's weapon forging, and it has many drawbacks, but the advantage is that it doesn't have high requirements for cultivation level. Lin Dong sighed and murmured softly:

"Alas, this so-called soul energy is too thin. If I want to use Tianxuan's weapon-refining method, I'm afraid I'll need to reach at least level 40. Right now, let's see what's so mysterious about this soul tool."

He then composed himself, picked up the soul tool, and prepared to examine it carefully.

After just one glance, Lin Dong's expression froze instantly, and after a long while, he slowly uttered a few words:

"No way, it's that simple?"

If those Soul Masters who have remained at a certain realm for decades heard these words, they would probably be unable to withstand the shock and their Dao Heart would shatter on the spot.

For Lin Dong, who had studied the Qiankun Ancient Array in his previous life, let alone a level one soul tool, he could probably figure out the core array of a level nine or even a level ten soul tool.

Lin Dong instantly realized that this academy was truly a treasure trove for cultivation for him.

Safety, the importance attached to it, the cultivation resources that the whole country has the power to support—all of this that countless people dream of—is now in his hands.

But to be honest, you probably can't find anyone like Lin Dong in the entire Douluo Continent who can become a Soul Master of the corresponding level as long as his cultivation level is high enough.

The complex and obscure core magic array, along with the boundless creativity, are the reasons why countless Soul Masters are stuck at a certain level and unable to progress.

Lin Dong grinned: "Hehe, good stuff. It's been a long time since I've cultivated so easily."

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of the carving knife on the smooth lab bench. He licked his lips excitedly, sat down on the stool, and began to work on it.

About an hour later, Xuan Ziwen walked out of the laboratory looking disheveled.

He still hadn't been able to solve that problem, and sighed in frustration. Suddenly, he noticed Lin Dong, who was completely focused.

Seeing the beads of sweat on his resolute face, Xuan Ziwen glanced cautiously at the object Lin Dong was carving, and a smile played at the corner of his eye:

This kid, I asked you to research soul tools, and you've gone and started carving?

Beneath Lin Dong's carving knife was a white metal disc with an extremely smooth surface. There was no core formation on that smooth surface.

Xuan Ziwen gently patted his forehead, finding it somewhat amusing:

Xuan Ziwen, Xuan Ziwen, I think you've gone crazy for soul tools. How could someone who knew nothing about soul tools an hour ago suddenly develop one?

Just as he was about to look away, a ray of sunlight suddenly shone through the window and shone directly on the white metal plate in Lin's hand. Xuan Ziwen stared at it and even stopped breathing.

As the light shone, the outline of an array slowly emerged on the white metal disc, causing a great stir in Xuan Ziwen's heart. He murmured to himself:

"No way, Xuan Ziwen, your luck is incredible! A peerless genius! You really ran into him?"

Thinking of this somewhat terrifying surprise, Xuan Ziwen stood still, motionless.

She deliberately lowered her breathing and just stood there quietly, waiting silently for Lin Dong to finish carving.

After nearly an hour, Xuan Ziwen noticed that Lin's movements had slowed down considerably, and his breathing had become somewhat rapid.

He had never felt time pass so slowly before; less than an hour felt like an eternity to Xuan Ziwen.

Lin Dong raised his head, put down the carving knife, wiped the sweat from his forehead, grinned, stretched, and let out a long breath.

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

Only then did he notice Xuan Ziwen's expectant eyes across from him, and smiled faintly:

"Teacher, when did you arrive? I was so engrossed in my work that I didn't notice you. Sorry."

Xuan Ziwen waved his hand dismissively, smiling broadly, and said, "That's not important. Hehe, you were just carving the core array of the soul tool, right? Can I take a look?"

As she was about to walk towards Lin Dong, her legs suddenly went weak. She then realized that she had been watching too intensely and her legs had gone numb!

It slowly hopped over to Lin Dong, and after seeing Lin Dong nod, it carefully picked up the white metal plate and examined its core formation for a long time.

Xuan Ziwen was taken aback to realize that he couldn't understand the array Lin Dong had drawn. He then awkwardly rubbed his hands together and looked at Lin Dong with a smile:

"Lin Dong, this soul tool of yours is probably not an ordinary level one soul tool, is it? I can't understand this formation at all."

Seeing his eager expression, Lin Dong smiled mischievously.

"Teacher, I don't recall saying that this is a level one soul tool, did I?"

Lin Dong's casual remark struck Xuan Ziwen like a thunderbolt, leaving him stunned and the entire laboratory falling into a deathly silence.

After a long while, Xuan Ziwen finally recovered from his shock and said in a trembling voice:

"Lin Dong, do you mean...?"

Overwhelmed by shock, he didn't have the courage to voice his terrifying conjecture. Only after seeing the certainty in Lin Dong's eyes did he excitedly rush forward, hug Lin Dong tightly, and laugh loudly:

"Hahaha, I found it! I've finally found it, the one and only genius of soul tools!"

Xuan Ziwen's ecstatic laughter echoed throughout the laboratory, lingering for a long time.
