Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 16 The Mortal World, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush.

"Do we need to come up with a name? Is that too much trouble? As long as it works, that's fine."

Seeing Xuan Ziwen's teasing gaze, she coughed, blushing slightly.

"Since it can fuse soul power and looks like a plate, let's call it the Fusion Plate."

Xuan Ziwen shook his head with a mocking expression, and said with some helplessness:

"Your name is really simple and blunt; you haven't read a single book."

Lin Dong could only look at him and smile faintly: "Isn't it enough that you're telling me? Why waste time?"

"Alright, alright, it's your own decision anyway, so let's go. I'll take you to Dean Hongchen."

Lin Dong nodded and followed Xuan Ziwen out of the laboratory.

The two soon arrived at an inconspicuous building with the three large characters "Mingde Hall" engraved on the plaque above the entrance.

Lin Dong looked up at the somewhat simple building in front of him, and before he could ask a question, Xuan Ziwen took the initiative to explain to him:

"This is Mingde Hall, and Dean Hongchen is also the hall master here. If you can get his permission, you can access the most advanced soul tools on the entire continent here."

After hearing his explanation, Lin Dong nodded and smiled at Xuan Ziwen:

"Then please don't forget our agreement later, teacher."

Xuan Ziwen nodded: "Don't worry, I still need to understand your core formation."

Then, as if remembering something, he solemnly reminded her:

"Mingde Hall is not as casual as the laboratory. Your every word and action is being monitored. Try not to make any strange moves, or the disciplinary team will judge you as having ulterior motives."

Lin Dong nodded very understandingly after hearing this, and after a moment he said thoughtfully:

"I don't seem to have permission to log in right now, what should I do?"

Xuan Ziwen smiled after hearing this: "It's alright. As long as you stay with me and don't do anything strange, it shouldn't have too much of an impact. You should think about how to persuade Dean Hongchen first."

Lin Dong gave a confident smile: "Don't worry, teacher, you just need to do what you're supposed to do."

Lin Dong followed Xuan Ziwen and stepped into the building, which occupied less than 500 square meters.

After passing through three different checkpoints, Lin Dong and his companion entered the Mingde Hall.

What Lin Dong saw was a rounded elevator with a metallic texture, which he estimated could accommodate more than ten people.

Xuan Ziwen led Lin Dong into one of the elevators, took out his identity card, and swiped it across a soul tool.

Then, grasp the metal pillar in the center of the elevator, inject soul power, and the elevator slowly descended.

About two minutes later, Lin Dong made a somewhat astonishing discovery: they seemed to have descended to a depth of about 100 meters underground.

After the elevator opened, a metallic world appeared in Lin Dong's eyes. The arc-shaped hall was almost entirely made of various kinds of metal.

Looking at all this metal, Lin Dong couldn't help but wonder what kind of "soul tool" he would be able to forge after reaching level 40.

After walking through a short passageway, Lin Dong was presented with an extremely shocking scene.

In the spacious hall, countless five-meter by three-meter experimental tables were neatly arranged, stretching into the darkness. There were at least fifty tables in a single horizontal row.

Behind most of the experimental tables, all sorts of Soul Masters were conducting experiments in an orderly manner.

Even with Lin Dong's composure, he was still greatly shocked. Although he had countless questions in his mind, he did not show them outwardly.

Xuan Ziwen glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, noticing his calm expression, and sighed inwardly:

This kid's character is indeed as resilient as the dean said. Coupled with his terrifying talent, it won't be long before he catches up with me.

Unbeknownst to the two, in a room deep within Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen sat on a stool with a file in front of him, silently observing their actions through a soul guidance screen.

Lin Jiayi stood beside Jing Hongchen and tentatively asked:

"Master, the only information we can find about this young man is that he came to Mingdu with the Sun and Moon Merchant Caravan. His parents, place of origin, and past are all unknown!"

Jing Hongchen frowned and replied softly, "Yes, it is indeed strange. The only thing that is certain is that his age is real. Let's wait and see. We can't let such a genius develop any ill will towards him."

Looking at the two people on the soul guidance screen, Jing Hongchen once again instructed Lin Jiayi:

"Go out and meet them. If I'm not mistaken, they're here to see me. Don't let some brainless idiots offend Lin Dong."

"Yes!" Lin Jiayi replied respectfully, then quickly walked out.

Lin Dong and his companion continued deeper into the rows of experimental tables when they suddenly heard a voice:

"Ziwen, the sect leader sent me to take you inside."

Lin Dong looked in the direction of the sound and saw a short, stout middle-aged man waving at the two of them with a smile.

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

Xuan Ziwen stepped forward and shook hands with him, and the latter looked at Lin Dong and smiled lightly:

"Hello, my name is Lin Jiayi, and I am the Dean of Students of the College."

Lin Dong gave him a faint smile: "Hello, Director."

Led by Lin Jiayi, Lin Dong and his companion arrived at Jing Hongchen's office without any hindrance and gently pushed the door open.

After seeing the three enter, Jing Hongchen stood up and looked at Lin Dong with a faint smile:

"Little one, why are you in such a hurry to have Ziwen bring you here to see this old man? May I ask what brings you here?"

Lin Dong gave Xuan Ziwen a wink, and the latter stepped forward and said in a deep voice:

"Master, we've come here to apply for an opportunity for Lin Dong to conduct research at Mingde Hall."

Upon hearing his words, Jing Hongchen's smiling face instantly turned cold.

Recalling Lin Dong's file, a hint of doubt crept into her heart, but she managed to suppress it and looked at Xuan Ziwen with a slightly reproachful tone, saying:

"Ziwen, I can understand Lin Dong saying such things because he's young, but you're so old, don't you understand?"

Xuan Ziwen seemed to have anticipated this, and looked at Lin Dong with a bitter smile, waiting for his next move.

Seeing that Lin Dong remained silent, Jing Hongchen forced herself to remain calm and said to him in a somewhat indifferent tone:

"Lin Dong, I know that your soul skills give you a unique talent in soul tools, but you have only been using soul tools for a few days, and your current level is still too low."

I understand that young people are prone to being impatient for quick results in their cultivation. How about this, you focus on your cultivation first, and we'll discuss this matter later.

Lin Jiayi, who was standing to the side, changed his gaze towards Lin Dong from admiration to mockery. He was not even a first-level soul master, yet he wanted to enter Mingde Hall. At such a young age, he was so ignorant of his own limitations!

Looking at Jing Hongchen's calm expression, Lin Jiayi knew that once he spoke in this tone, there would be no room for negotiation.

Seeing that Lin Dong hadn't spoken for a long time, Xuan Ziwen became a little anxious. This kid was usually so calm, could he be too scared to speak now?

Sensing the oppressive atmosphere in the room, and under Xuan Ziwen's questioning gaze, Lin Dong slowly raised his head, looked at Jing Hongchen, and said softly:

"Dean, please don't refuse yet. I'd like to ask you to look at something."
