Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 144 One head isn't enough, let's have another one, one head for each person.

Starry Sky Forest.

As Lin Dong and his group ventured deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest, the auspicious beast raised its chin at Lin Dong, saying, "Wait for me a moment, I'll be right back."

After speaking, he quickly flashed into the depths. Lin Dong paused for a moment, then looked at the crowd and chuckled softly:

"Since she's said so, let's all wait here for a while."

Although everyone was somewhat taken aback, since it was Lin Dong who spoke, they figured it wouldn't hurt to wait there for a while.

Ye Guyi couldn't help but ask, "Won't it be dangerous to let a young girl act alone?"

Xiao Hongchen glanced at Lin Dong, smiled faintly at her, and explained:

"How could she possibly be in danger? If she could be in danger here, then there would be no safe place on the entire continent."

Hearing his cryptic explanation, Ye Guyi couldn't help but shake her head, glancing at Lin Dong with a complicated expression.

This guy, ever since he summoned me to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, I've rarely seen him, and he's always been distant. It's just that Xiao Hongchen is so carefree all the time.

Fortunately, the girl whose name I didn't know was adorable, and Meng Hongchen was there too, so it wasn't too boring.

However… after hearing their descriptions of Lin Dong, I couldn’t help but feel curious about him as well.

This guy does nothing but eat and cultivate all day long; he's a real oddball. Although they say he's very strong, Ye Guyi doesn't think so…

As she was lost in thought, the auspicious beast flew swiftly toward her. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that the adorable girl was actually dragging a giant over fifteen meters tall behind her.

"Lin Dong, here, this is your soul beast. Eating this guy will bring you a lot of benefits. I went through a lot of trouble to find it for you. How about it, hehe..."

The auspicious beast swung the giant away with all its might, causing the entire ground to shake. It then pouted at Lin Dong, looking somewhat dazed and cute.

Xiao Hongchen and the others watched from the sidelines as this auspicious beast became inexplicably violent. They hadn't noticed before; this little girl actually had a surprisingly cute and violent side.

Everyone was quite astonished. How could this sweet-looking girl be so strong?

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong looked at the mysterious soul beast lying on the ground, barely alive, estimating that it had at least 30,000 years of cultivation. He smiled at the auspicious beast and said, "Thank you."

A giant lay on the ground, covered in black and white hair, with two heads on its shoulders, its enormous body over ten meters tall.

Both heads had only one eye, emitting a terrifying light, with a mixture of black and white light constantly emanating from them.

"This...this could be an extremely rare variant of the Cyclops, the Twin Cyclops?!"

As a researcher at Mingde Hall, Lin Jiayi's talent in soul tools has reached its limit, so he also has considerable research experience in soul beasts.

So the moment he saw the soul beast, he realized what it was and exclaimed in surprise.

"Director, Twin Cyclops? What kind of soul beasts are those?" Lin Dong asked, pausing as he looked at Lin Jiayi.

Lin Jiayi smiled at Lin Dong, cleared his throat, and explained to the curious crowd:

"Among soul beasts, the Cyclops is a rather special existence. Apart from having only one eye on its forehead, it looks no different from a human in other aspects."

They even weave clothes from branches and vines to protect their genitals, except that they are much taller than humans.

They are born two meters tall. When their cultivation reaches a hundred years, their height can grow to more than five meters. After a thousand years, they will exceed eight meters. If their cultivation reaches ten thousand years, their height can even grow to more than fifteen meters.

However, precisely because their enormous size is so obvious, they easily become prey for some powerful soul beasts. Their brains are a great tonic for some soul beasts, and these soul beasts are all beings with top-tier bloodline inheritances.

At this point, Lin Jiayi glanced at the auspicious beast with some curiosity. Just who was this girl?

He actually managed to capture a cyborg with 50,000 years of cultivation all by himself, and it was even a mutated version!

More importantly, she actually left such a precious soul beast to Lin Dong; one can only say that Lin Dong truly lives up to his reputation…

As Lin Jiayi's thoughts wandered, he glanced at the expectant crowd before snapping back to reality and continuing his explanation:

"During the cultivation process of a soul beast, once it crosses ten thousand years, its strength will increase dramatically. Some soul beasts will mutate when they break through ten thousand years."

Mutation in Cyclopes is not inevitable, but only a possibility. Moreover, there are multiple paths to mutation. But the strongest of these is the twin Cyclopes we see before us.

The Cyclops's inherent nature is a rare form of chaos, with its attributes being unclear and subject to change at any time. After mutating into a twin-eyed cyclops...

Its attributes underwent a fundamental change; even its body shrank, and it grew a second head. This twin cyclops is an extremely rare combination of light and darkness. Its strength has already entered the realm of top-tier soul beasts.

After hearing Lin Jiayi's explanation, everyone suddenly understood. Lin Dong looked at him, clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, "Thank you for the explanation, Director." Then he glanced at the pouting mythical beast and reached out to pat its head.

"You've really gone to a lot of trouble this time. Eating this thing will probably benefit you a lot. Since you're willing to give it to me, I owe you a favor."

Startled by his sudden action, the mythical beast did not struggle. No matter what Lin Dong did, she felt a strange sense of intimacy and could not muster any thoughts of resistance.

Ye Guyi was puzzled after hearing this. Eaten? This was the second time she had heard her say this. She must be overthinking it. It must be cooking.

How could such a cute girl do something as crude as eating a soul beast raw?

Meng Hongchen watched the blushing auspicious beast with envy, and couldn't help but grit her teeth. A ripple appeared in her eyes, but she didn't say anything.

The mythical beast blushed, lowered its head, and whispered, "It's alright, I promised you."

A gentle light flashed in Lin Dong's eyes. He wondered how Qing Tan was doing. The auspicious beast did indeed resemble that girl when she was little...

Seeing this, Jing Hongchen coughed lightly: "Now that I've already hunted it for you, hurry up and finish the job, and refine it quickly."

Lin Dong nodded without hesitation and punched the cyclops on the head, instantly killing the already weakened giant.

A dense black light emanated from its corpse, converging into a dazzling black halo directly above it.

A hint of joy flashed in Lin Dong's eyes. Such a strong fluctuation must have been going on for at least 50,000 years. Once he absorbed it all, he should be close to becoming a Soul King.

He immediately grabbed the spirit ring, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began refining it. Looking at the calm faces of the others, Ye Guyi couldn't help but ask:

"Are you just going to watch him refine such a high-age spirit ring? With his current cultivation level, a ten-thousand-year spirit ring is already his limit, let alone a fifty-thousand-year spirit ring like this. Damaging his foundation is a minor issue; what if he bursts his body?"

Everyone smiled mysteriously, while Xiao Hongchen, somewhat proudly, puffed out his chest, looked at Ye Guyi, and explained loudly:

"You don't understand, Bone Robe Girl. You haven't spent much time with Lin Dong yet, so you don't know how monstrous this guy is. Once you spend more time with him, you'll know just how terrifying he is."

Seeing his expression, Ye Guyi blinked in confusion, tapped her chin with her finger, and said with interest:

"Is that so? But he's just a Soul Master, he doesn't seem like someone who can handle this."

"Oh dear, just ignore this guy. Let the auspicious beast take you to find the evil soul beast. Hurry up and improve your cultivation. If you don't go soon, Lin Dong will have finished refining it."

Hearing this, Ye Guyi became even more interested, turned to look at Lin Dong who was cultivating with his eyes closed, and shook her head:

"I'm not going. I really don't believe he can finish refining it so quickly. I want to see what his tricks are."

Seeing this, Xiao Hongchen put his hands behind his head and said, half-jokingly and half-sarcastically:

"Well, I've been fooled by this kid again. Why do you people always want to contradict yourselves?"

Meng Hongchen coldly retorted, "If I remember correctly, you're the one who's been slapped in the face the most."

"Hey, you're wrong about that. The one who got slapped in the face the most is actually Grandpa."

"Ouch!" Xiao Hongchen rubbed the back of his head, then chuckled at Jing Hongchen's smiling face.

"Grandpa, I was just telling the truth, you won't be angry, will you?"

Jing Hongchen revealed a mysterious smile and grabbed his ear:

"What do you think? You've really spoiled me rotten, you even dare to joke about your grandpa now."

"Hey, hey, that's too much, Grandpa! You never get angry no matter what Lin Dong says, but I just said it..."

"Let's go, let's go, I won't say anymore." Xiao Hongchen, who had just been kicked in the butt, quickly shut up and dodged to the side.

The atmosphere within the team lightened considerably. Amidst the joyful and harmonious atmosphere, Lin Dong suddenly opened his eyes and walked towards everyone:

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

"Let's go, I'm finished refining."

"ah?!"

Ye Guyi gasped in surprise at Lin Dong's absurdly fast speed, then circled around him, saying:

"Are you kidding me? Where did that 50,000-year spirit ring go? Did you eat it? You're way too fast."

Lin Dong helplessly shrugged, smiled noncommittally, and before he could reply, Ye Guyi spoke again:

"No wonder you were so calm the day you saved me; it turns out you were quite something."

Just because Ye Guyi suddenly noticed that Lin Dong's cultivation level had already advanced to a higher level, her doubts vanished instantly.

After all, if he hadn't refined the soul ring, how could he have improved his cultivation to such a high level?

Wait a minute, Ye Guyi thought for a moment and suddenly realized something was wrong. Wait a minute! This guy is only level 48, how did he refine his soul ring?

Lin Dong seemed to have anticipated this, and before he could even speak, Xiao Hongchen narrowed his eyes and explained:

"Don't pry into this guy's secrets. He doesn't want you to know, and you never will. All you need to know is that he doesn't mean any harm."

Ye Guyi nodded and said "Oh," adding, "Strange fellow..."

A look of astonishment appeared on the beautiful face of the auspicious beast. This one-eyed giant was so big, with 50,000 years of cultivation. It would take the beast several days to eat it. How could it have been refined so quickly?

Pouting, she looked at Lin Dong and moved slightly, but ultimately didn't speak. Seizing the opportunity, Meng Hongchen looked at Lin Dong and whispered:

"By the way, you haven't broken through to Soul King yet, have you? How about we go hunt a few more Soul Beasts?"

Lin Dong paused for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and nodded at her:

"That's one way. I didn't expect my soul power to be so strong. I've refined a 50,000-year soul ring, and I'm still just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to Soul King."

The mythical beast stared at him, its mouth twitching slightly. "You've gone too far! That one-eyed giant would have leveled me up twice if I'd eaten it, and you're only a Soul Master, yet you have such a huge appetite!"

Seeing her charmingly naive expression, Lin Dong smiled silently:

"There's nothing I can do about it. This time, we don't need to find any rare soul beasts. As long as our cultivation reaches ten thousand years, I don't value soul skills too much."

After hearing this, the auspicious beast nodded with a pout. There were only a few cyclops left in the Star Dou Great Forest, and it still needed to eat those guys to evolve its bloodline.

Ye Guyi glanced at the guy after hearing this. Seriously, are ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts like cabbages? Are they that easy to find? And what was the meaning of that last sentence?!

In the entire Douluo Continent, is there anyone who doesn't value soul skills? Then what do they use to attack?

Various doubts filled Ye Guyi's mind, but in the end, they all boiled down to one sentence:

"You're really something, both amazing and eccentric."

Xiao Hongchen patted Lin Dong on the shoulder and couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Hey, finally someone's complaining about how weird you are. But let me tell you, this guy isn't weird at all. He's just not very friendly to people he doesn't know well."

"Actually, once you get to know him, you'll find he's a really kind person."

Lin Dong patted the hand on his shoulder: "Just introduce me, why are you always hugging me? And why aren't you looking for a soul beast for yourself? You said you'd be focusing on your cultivation."

Seeing this, Ye Guyi's doubts were dispelled. He had always thought that Lin Dong's cold face meant he had no emotions, but judging from his interactions with Xiao Hongchen, it was probably because his relationship with Lin Dong wasn't close enough...

No, why should I consider whether my relationship with him is close enough?

Thinking of this, Ye Guyi blushed slightly and looked at Lin Dong, apologizing softly:

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say you were weird, I just don't know you very well."

Lin Dong waved his hand: "It's nothing."

As the group was talking, the auspicious beast, with a blade of grass in its mouth and a small soul beast on its shoulder, ran towards them.

"This mischievous nature is just like that girl Qing Tan's," Lin Dong couldn't help but think.

The auspicious beast tossed the corpse to the ground and couldn't help but smack its lips:

"Here you go, a ten-thousand-year-old Netherworld Wolf. Although it doesn't taste very good, its cultivation level is already sufficient for your needs."

Lin Dong didn't hesitate upon hearing this. He thanked the wolf-shaped soul beast, punched it to death, and began refining its soul ring.

Before long, Lin Dong had finished refining it. He clenched his fist excitedly, his eyes gleaming.

"Finally, I've reached the Soul King level! It's time to go to the Body Sect and ask the Sect Master for the second awakening secret technique he promised me."

The auspicious beast pouted and suddenly blurted out, "Oh right, what about Xiao Hongchen? Do you want a soul beast?"

Xiao Hongchen rolled his eyes with a hint of resentment:

"Is Lin Dong all you see? I'm the one who took the best care of you at the academy, right? You finally remembered me? Of course you do, otherwise what would I be doing here!"

Seeing his expression, everyone couldn't help but chuckle. The auspicious beast looked at him, its round eyes darting around.

"Oh, wait, I'll catch it for you."

Xiao Hongchen returned to normal, and coughed lightly as he looked at her flushed face:

"This is troublesome, please go and come back quickly."

Looking at Lin Dong chuckling to the side, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. Why do you steal all the limelight just by standing here? You deserve to die!

Watching this scene, Ye Guyi couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

Is hunting soul beasts really that simple? All you have to do is stand here, wait for a little girl to bring you a soul beast, and then refine it directly.

Is this still the legendary, treacherous Star Dou Great Forest?!
