Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 146 Second Awakening of the Main Body Martial Soul, Awakening of the Desolate Seed

In order to avoid attracting attention, Lin Dong and Jing Hongchen secretly used simulated soul skills and flew towards the Heavenly Soul Empire with the help of a flying soul tool.

After all, given that Douluo originally belonged to the Three Kingdoms' soul tools, the only way to detect the airspace situation would probably be through visual observation.

Without any surprise, the two arrived at the Heavenly Soul Empire at an incredibly fast speed.

As for Meng Hongchen and the auspicious beast, they waited for Jing Hongchen to return.

After flying at full speed all night, Lin Dong and his companion finally arrived at the location of the Body Sect at sunrise the next day, following the clues given by Du Busi.

Looking at the mysterious sect built on the solitary peak, this towering mountain, surrounded by the sea on all sides, is indeed an extremely easy place to defend and difficult to attack.

"No wonder the Body Sect can defend against several times the number of troops by relying on the natural barrier. If they wanted to attack this place, they would have to rely on soul tools."

That means anyone below the Soul Saint realm is simply not qualified to join the battle, and even Soul Saint level experts cannot sustain continuous flight combat.

Looking at the sect atop the peak, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but sigh as he gazed at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong smiled and nodded in agreement: "Yes, without a flying soul tool, it would take a lot of effort to get here."

A flicker of emotion flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes as she looked at Lin Dong and said softly:

"Alright, enough with the formalities. Remember, if anything happens, just crush that thing. I can afford the three-year price."

Lin Dong felt a warmth in his heart and nodded: "Then, Dean, I'll go up first. Take care."

Jing Hongchen narrowed his eyes, his tone remaining unchanged: "Yes, go ahead."

After saying that, he turned his back, and after Lin Dong left, he looked back and whispered:

"Sigh, those Shrek bastards will definitely find out Lin Dong didn't come back with us. Let's hope nothing unexpected happens."

Lin Dong flew up to the mountain peak and arrived in front of a magnificent and imposing mansion. The guards at the gate were astonished, their expressions changing drastically.

"How did you, a Soul King, find this place?!"

Their Body Sect is surrounded by the sea on all sides. How could a Soul King possibly be able to reach this place?

The two men looked at the mysterious young man who had suddenly appeared with wary eyes. The newcomer smiled faintly, clasped his hands in greeting, and said:

"Please inform the Poison Sect Master that Lin Dong has come to request an audience."

Upon hearing Lin Dong's name, the two exchanged a glance, a glint of shrewdness flashing in their eyes, before replying coldly:

"Do you think our sect leader can be seen by just anyone? First, explain who told you the location of our sect."

A flicker of emotion crossed Lin Dong's eyes. It seemed that he would still have to resort to some simple and direct methods.

With a light touch of his toes, he suddenly moved, his soul power surging, and in an instant he was in front of the two people, throwing a punch.

The terrifying force sent two young men, both Soul Emperors at level 65, flying through the air.

Lin Dong withdrew his soul power and said calmly, "Now, may we go and report?"

Looking at the seemingly harmless-looking boy in front of them, the two men's lips moved slightly. Their Body Sect had always acted domineeringly.

This kid, he started fighting without a second thought, and he was even more domineering than them. They gave an awkward smile.

"Brother Lin Dong, I'm so sorry. The sect leader actually gave us special instructions, but we didn't expect you to arrive so soon."

Another young man looked at him apologetically and said, "Sorry, Lin Dong, we just wanted to see if you were as powerful as the sect leader said."

"Yes, seeing you today, it's truly as good as your reputation suggests. Please don't be angry, I'm sorry."

Lin Dong paused for a moment, then pulled the two of them up and smiled at them:

"It's okay, I'm not the one getting beaten up."

"Heh heh, you two little brats got what you deserved for your reckless antics."

A hearty laugh rang out, and Du Busi's rosy baby face came into Lin Dong's view. Lin Dong bowed to Du Busi.

"Poison Sect Master, I have come here today to make you fulfill your promise."

Poison Undying walked towards Lin Dong, glancing at the latter casually. His pupils suddenly contracted. This kid, what terrifying speed.

It's probably only been eight months since that bet was made, and this kid has already gone from level 38 to level 50 Soul King. This speed is simply too terrifying.

Suppressing his shock, Du Bu Si looked at Lin Dong and smiled faintly:

"Hehe, don't worry, I am not a man of my word. Although your cultivation speed is too frightening, it can be seen from that attack just now that your foundation has not been affected in any way. This cultivation is all real."

Lin Dong shrugged noncommittally, offering only a vague answer:

"It was just a matter of chance. Actually, as long as you work hard, you can improve quite quickly."

The two young men who had just joked with Lin Dong were now speechless with surprise. They looked at each other, deeply regretting their decision. Hadn't they just slapped themselves in the face?!

Eight months, twelve levels higher? Effort alone is all it takes? These words sound so familiar, so why do I suddenly not understand them?!

Du Bu Si glanced at the two astonished youths behind him and chuckled lightly:

"You little brats thought you had a true martial soul and were arrogant all the time. Now you've finally been taught a lesson, haven't you?"

The two nodded, their faces flushed with embarrassment, and replied in a deep voice to Du Bu Si:

"Yes! This disciple knows his mistake and will diligently cultivate in the future, and will not have any other thoughts."

"Hmm." Poison Immortal looked at the two of them and gave a soft "hmm," then smiled at Lin Dong:

"Let's go, I'll take you to the place where you awaken your martial spirit. I'm sure you've been looking forward to this for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong's face flashed with joy, and he did not hide his curiosity about this second awakening. He nodded at Du Busi:

"I do have some expectations. I hope that the Poison Sect Master can give me some pointers later."

"Don't worry, since I promised you, I will definitely do it."

The two figures walked towards the door, eventually disappearing completely from the sight of the two young guards…

Lin Dong followed Du Busi to a secret room and was slightly surprised. The room seemed to have a lot of energy fluctuations. It seemed that this trip was worthwhile.

Poison Immortal formed a strange hand seal and chanted a mysterious incantation. After a moment, green soul power enveloped his palms and gently sealed the door to the secret chamber.

The next second, an abundant energy rushed towards him. Lin Dong looked curiously at the secret room, where an ancient jade-colored stone chair was displayed.

Above it, there was a large, obscure and mysterious array, with faint beams of energy constantly projecting onto the jade chair.

"This energy fluctuation seems to be coming from that chair," Lin Dong analyzed in his mind. Du Bu Si, seeing Lin Dong lost in thought, explained softly:

"The formation here was left by my predecessors in the Body Sect. It can gather the power of the blazing sun and the moon. Don't be fooled by the slightly illusory appearance of that energy. Once it comes into contact with your body, the pain is unbearable for ordinary people."

Lin Dong looked at the calm-faced Poison Undying and nodded softly:

"Thank you for reminding me, senior."

Poison Immortal waved his hand and continued, "Although it is painful, to develop a strong physique, one must endure pain that ordinary people cannot bear. I think you should understand this principle as well."

Lin Dong nodded in agreement. There is no such thing as free power in this world. Only through countless life-and-death battles can one develop an aura that ordinary people do not possess.

To gain a powerful physique, pain is naturally involved, and he has known this better than anyone else from the very beginning.

Looking at Lin Dong's serious face, Du Busi looked at him and spoke again:

"The second awakening of the main body martial soul is not 100% successful, and the higher the level of awakening, the greater the pain endured."

Although I awakened to the Gold level back then, the pain of that rebirth is so intense that even now, thinking back on it, I worry I wouldn't have survived it.

Lin Dong looked at him and nodded, his tone solemn:

"Thank you for the reminder, senior. Regardless of whether I successfully awaken or not, I owe you a favor. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you."

Poison Undying shook his head with a faint smile, his tone tinged with relief:

"In this Douluo Continent, even the strongest Douluo can only live for a mere three to five hundred years. I don't know when I will reach that day."

Now, my only hope is to promote the Body Spirit and ensure the continued existence of my Body Sect. I just wish to provide a peaceful place for those who possess the Body Spirit.

Seeing that Lin Dong was listening intently, Du Busi paused, seemingly talking to himself, yet also as if confiding in someone:

"If I could have a few hundred more years of lifespan, I believe I could reach a higher level of understanding of the original martial soul."

Those bastards outside, they turn pale at the mere mention of a Body Spirit. They have no idea of ​​the benefits of a Body Spirit; some even compare us to evil spirit masters—it's utterly foolish!

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

When he said the last sentence, Du Bu Si was obviously a little agitated, presumably because he had been misunderstood by others because of his original martial soul.

Lin Dong looked at him, his tone calm, yet carrying a hint of absolute certainty:

"Don't worry, senior, you will have plenty of time to continue your research on your original martial soul."

After hearing this, Du Busi was somewhat surprised by his certainty, but still gave a self-deprecating laugh:

"Hopefully, the realm of Limit Douluo isn't so easy to reach, and as for becoming a god after that, it's probably even harder to achieve..."

Lin Dong nodded noncommittally, not lingering on the topic. Seeing this, Du Bu Si then reminded him:

"Although your physical body is not weak, your true martial soul should be your eyes, right?"

Lin Dong remembered that he had not shown the ability of the Eye of Desolation in front of Du Busi. How did he know that?

Seemingly having discerned Lin Dong's thoughts, he smiled with a hint of arrogance:

"My research on the original martial soul is second to none in the world, so I can naturally see it. I'm telling you this just to remind you that the pain of awakening the original martial soul is in the part of your martial soul, which is the eyes."

The pain is estimated to be about ten times more intense than in other parts of the body, and if the awakening fails, you will most likely lose your eyesight forever.

Lin Dong was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, but he didn't panic much and calmly replied:

"I understand. Power always comes with risk. You can't gain an opportunity without paying a price."

Du Bu Si looked at his calm and collected demeanor, a hint of undisguised admiration flashing in his eyes. This young man's temperament and talent are both excellent; he is destined for greatness.

You must know that his true martial soul is his body. He doesn't even dare to recall the pain he felt back then. If the pain in his eyes were amplified tenfold, he definitely wouldn't have survived.

Seeing Du Bu Si's blank and lost in thought, Lin Dong gently reminded him:

"Senior, let's get started quickly."

Seeing Lin Dong's eagerness, Du Bu Si nodded and said:

"In a moment, I will manipulate the formation to concentrate all the power of the blazing sun and moonlight on your eyes. Although the eyes are the main area, the pain will also affect the other parts of your body. You'd better be mentally prepared."

Lin Dong grinned after hearing this: "I'm all ready. Let's start now."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Du Busi stopped talking nonsense. After seeing Lin Dong sitting on the jade-colored stone chair, Du Busi's soul power surged, and the pressure of a peerless Douluo inadvertently spread out.

But Lin Dong sat on the stone chair, motionless like an old monk in meditation, seemingly unaware of his aura at all.

Under the control of the Poison Immortal, the mysterious array on the stone chair began to operate slowly, and a mysterious light enveloped the array.

A moment later, countless mysterious energies condensed into an extremely small beam of light at the core of the array.

"Are you ready, Lin Dong? I'm about to begin!"

Du Bu Si shouted, and Lin Dong nodded slightly. The thin beam of light slowly moved toward Lin Dong's brow.

Judging from the beads of sweat on Du Busi's forehead, one could tell just how much terrifying energy he had gathered to awaken Lin Dong.

If it were being performed for an ordinary disciple, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger; an ordinary elder could handle it.

However, he could tell that Lin Dong's original martial soul was extremely powerful, and the energy required for its awakening would be correspondingly more concentrated.

Under the first burst of intense energy, Lin Dong's brow only turned blood red, without any other change.

Poison Undying was suddenly shocked. This energy could help awaken a silver-level martial soul, yet it had no effect on him at all.

Sure enough, this kid's monstrous talent isn't just limited to his physical body and cultivation; his martial soul is at least at the gold level!

Poison Undying's soul power surged out again, and a beam of light, even more concentrated but also thinner than before, shot towards his brow once more.

This time, the skin between Lin Dong's eyebrows finally showed signs of slowly cracking. Seeing this, Du Busi was instantly horrified.

That was the energy of a Gold-level Awakening, and he only suffered a superficial wound?! Poison Immortal narrowed his eyes slightly; he finally understood where the problem lay.

When he awakened his physical spirit, his cultivation level was just at the Soul King level, but his physical body was close to the level of a level 65 Soul Emperor, which had already set a record for the Body Sect.

But this kid has a Soul Saint-level physique! No wonder it's so hard for him to succeed. The awakened energy can't even get into his brow!

Poison Undying gave a bitter smile, suppressing his helplessness, and once again gathered a beam of energy, shooting it towards Lin Dong's brow.

After this happened three times, Lin Dong's brow finally split open, revealing flesh and blood. The pain intensified with each passing moment...

Judging from the dense beads of sweat on Lin Dong's forehead and his body trembling uncontrollably from the intense pain, it was clear that the more difficult the awakening, the higher the level, and the more painful it was, not as easily endured as one might imagine.

The moment the fused energy entered Lin Dong's brow, a dazzling gray light suddenly erupted from his body, leaving Du Busi stunned on the spot.

Gray? What level is that?!
