Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 184 A Plan That Risks Everything

Because of the emperor's order, the elders of the temple were mainly confined to their respective posts, so they quickly gathered a group of people to convene the meeting.

The elders, already overwhelmed with their own affairs, were naturally not too happy about this unexpected meeting.

Before the meeting even started, people began to look at Lin Dong. These elderly men with gray hair included some important figures in the Sun Moon Empire and others officials in charge of court affairs.

Without exception, they all wielded immense power, capable of determining the direction of the Sun Moon Empire's development with a single word.

But now, for such an important meeting, a teenager who's barely grown up has shown up. Isn't this a joke?

Although most of them knew Lin Dong, this was a meeting of the Hall of Worship that decided important national affairs. So what if he was a young genius?

Instead of focusing on your cultivation, you've dared to enter such an important occasion! This isn't a place just anyone can come into!

As expected, right at the start of the meeting, an elderly man with gray hair pointed at Lin Dong and said to Kong Deming:

"Elder Kong, given Lin Dong's qualifications, isn't it somewhat against the rules for him to enter the Hall of Worship?"

"The person who spoke is a supporter of the Crown Prince's faction and holds a very high position in the court, second only to me. But you don't need to explain; leave it to me."

Hearing Jing Hongchen's low reminder, Lin Dong remained silent and nodded impassively. Just as Jing Hongchen was about to explain, Kong Deming's authoritative voice resounded throughout the hall:

"I sent him. Today's discussion concerns him. What, you have a problem with that?"

Looking into Kong Deming's sharp eyes, the high-ranking official under the Crown Prince could only shut his mouth in frustration, after all, Kong Deming was the one who called the shots in this Hall of Offerings.

After the plan was told to the elders, the previously silent hall of worship suddenly became noisy, clearly shocked by the audacious plan.

Of course, a large number of people thought this was simply a joke.

Asking them to abandon their long-standing partnership with the Holy Spirit Church and turn to cooperate with those ferocious beasts is like joking with them.

Even if the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult are indeed repulsive, are those soul beasts really trustworthy?

Seeing that the elders were all in a state of great shock, Kong Deming coughed lightly and tapped the table:

"Quiet down, everyone. I called you here not to have you argue, but to ask you whether your side can make timely changes in accordance with this plan."

Upon hearing Kong Deming's words, the elders' angry and puzzled expressions froze on their faces. It turned out that he hadn't come to discuss this matter with them, but rather to inform them.

Looking at Lin Dong, whose face was still somewhat youthful, many elders couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "What is it about this kid that makes him so attractive? Why would Elder Kong take such a gamble?"

However, Master Kong's prestige was far ahead in the Hall of Worship, not to mention that Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin were also there to support him, so the matter was quickly settled.

Of course, some elders had reservations about this, but they could only say a few words in private, and they could not change the current situation openly.

Seeing the elders' unpleasant expressions, Kong Deming's eyes flickered slightly, and he softly explained:

"As everyone knows, evil spirit masters are violent and unpredictable. In addition, Long Xiaoyao was injured, and Ye Xishui wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail us. Changing our personnel at the last minute was a last resort."

If Lin Dong's plan succeeds, we won't need to bring the matter of evil soul masters to the forefront, and everyone will understand the benefits to public sentiment.

Upon hearing his explanation, the elders present looked much better. Having been rooted in the court for many years, they naturally understood the reasoning behind it.

Evil Soul Masters are deeply hated by the people, yet Ye Xishui dared to raise prices at the last minute. Now that a suitable ally has been found, it is indeed time to switch.

They understood the saying that there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

Their initial opposition and hesitation stemmed from their disbelief that Lin Dong could persuade the ferocious beasts to cooperate.

Although Lin Dong's cultivation speed is extremely fast, having already reached the Soul Douluo level at such a young age, it is not a bargaining chip for the ferocious beasts to cooperate with them.

Everyone understands that the conflict between spirit beasts and humans is inherently irreconcilable, so it's definitely unrealistic to expect spirit beasts to help them.

But since Elder Kong had already made up his mind to gamble with Lin Dong, they naturally couldn't say anything more. They believed that Elder Kong wouldn't joke about the fate of the nation.

After a brief adjustment and implementation of the revised plan, many elders hurriedly left the offering hall, further increasing their workload.

"Lin Dong, when will you set off for the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Kong Deming's eyes flickered, and he looked at Lin Dong and asked softly.

"Now."

Lin Dong replied softly and prepared to set off. After hearing this, Jing Hongchen looked at Lin Dong and whispered:

"I'll go with you. The affairs of Mingde Hall are almost ready. In case those ferocious beasts turn their backs on us, we'll have someone to help us."

Lin Dong pondered for a moment and did not object. After all, it was necessary to provide some protection for Jing Hongchen and the others, and they could not rely solely on his trust in him.

"Let's go, Dean. I'll use my simulated soul skill to take you there."

Kong Deming's lips moved slightly, his tone carrying a hint of hope: "Go quickly and come back quickly."

Before leaving, the two went to the deepest part of Mingde Hall and brought along the fully completed experimental subject number one.

The Starry Sky Forest, with its vast terrain, is a good place to test the power of this thing.

After making some simple plans, Lin Dong and Jing Hongchen embarked on their journey to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Shrek Academy.

"Senior, the safety of our students is now in your hands." Moon said to Titan with utmost respect.

If it weren't for the fact that both Xu Sanshi and He Caitou needed to hunt for spirit rings in order to perform better in the competition, he wouldn't have wanted to send his students on a mission before the competition.

After all, the area where the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest meets the mixed zone is not a safe place; the danger there is higher than imagined.

Titan nodded slightly with a faint smile on his face.

"Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen."

Hearing his assurance, Mu En was relieved. Between Xuanzi and Titan, Titan was indeed more reliable.

Moreover, Titan possesses unparalleled spatial teleportation technology, so in case of any unexpected events, this method would at least provide some protection.

Titan turned and patted Wang Dong's head, then looked at Niu Tian and said softly:

"Big brother, I'm leaving Dong'er in your care. I'll be back soon."

Niu Tian nodded with a faint smile. He wasn't too worried about Titan because they received some unexpected good news after returning to Haotian Sect.

Although they did not receive any new missions, the restrictions that person had placed on them had become much looser, and the divine power they could utilize had become much stronger.

If he were to reveal all his trump cards, Titan's current strength would probably be no match for even Di Tian, ​​and his own strength would certainly be above that of the Lord of Soul Beasts.

"Go, and come back quickly. If anything unexpected happens, remember to try to contact me via teleportation."

Titan laughed heartily after hearing this: "Don't worry, brother, nothing will go wrong. Let's go!"

Behind him were Cai Meier, Zhang Lexuan, Han Ruoruo, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, Li Yongyue, and Mo Xuan.

After several years of recuperation, Cai Meier is in much better condition now. In fact, after the Golden Tree was fully upgraded, not only did her severed arm grow well, but her cultivation also showed signs of breaking through to level 96.

Whenever she thought of that slightly frail figure, Cai Meier felt a sharp pain in her severed arm and a great shock in her heart.

Cai Meier gave a friendly smile, clapped her hands, and attracted everyone's attention:

"We are all inner court students, and this isn't our first time going to the Star Dou Great Forest for a mission. This time, we have new members joining us, so let's introduce ourselves to each other, including our names, martial spirits, and cultivation levels, so that we can cooperate with each other later."

After saying that, she gently raised her head to look at Zhang Lexuan, who understood and spoke first:

"My name is Zhang Lexuan. I am an assistant instructor and student in the inner academy. My martial soul is the moon. I am a power attack type battle soul master. This time, I am responsible for leading and commanding the team. I do not need any soul rings. My soul power is level 86."

When she mentioned the words "level 86", all the students, including Xu Sanshi and He Caitou, were somewhat shocked.

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

An 86th-level Soul Douluo powerhouse—that's terrifyingly strong. Only Shrek Academy students could reach that level, right?

As the students were still in shock, Han Ruoruo, dressed in blue, spoke up immediately after them:

"Han Ruoruo, an inner court student and teaching assistant, possesses the Martial Soul Golden Rope and is a control-type battle soul master. She will be in the main control position for this operation and does not require any soul rings. She has a soul power of level 82."

After the two women finished their introductions, Cai Meier said with a serious expression:

"In this operation, Titan and I will mainly be responsible for accompanying the team, while Le Xuan and Ruo Ruo will be in charge of the actual command. They are both very experienced. Everyone must obey orders and must not act on their own."

This is not only for your personal safety, but also for the safety of our entire team. The main area of ​​our operation this time will be the area where the mixed zone and the core zone of the Starry Sky Forest meet.

That's definitely not a place for leisurely strolls; you might encounter extremely powerful soul beasts at any moment, so be on your guard!

"yes!"

Seeing that everyone had taken it to heart, Cai Meier's expression returned to calm, and she looked at Xu Sanshi and said softly:

"Sanshi, you can continue."

Xu Sanshi gave a carefree smile and waved to the group.

"My name is Xu Sanshi, an inner court student, a defensive-type battle soul master, a level 70 soul saint, and I need my seventh soul ring."

Upon hearing his introduction, Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo's eyes flashed with astonishment. A level 70 Soul Saint? Is the quality of this year's Inner Academy students really that high?

At the same time, He Caitou, standing to the side, gave a simple, honest smile and greeted the group:

"My name is He Caitou, a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department of the academy, a food-type Soul Master and Soul Guidance Master, level 60, and I need my sixth Soul Ring."

"It seems that the quality of this batch of trainees is quite good; they actually reached such a high level before the competition."

Zhang Lexuan spoke softly, then turned her gaze to another male student opposite her. The latter paused for a moment, then blushed slightly and introduced himself:

"Li Yongyue, an inner court student, an agility-type battle spirit king, level 60, needs a sixth spirit ring, spirit spirit Moon Blade. Senior Sister, do you still remember me? When you use your spirit spirit, I will naturally receive an amplification."

He looked to be at least twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, but he used honorifics when addressing Zhang Lexuan, which was enough to show the senior sister's status in the inner courtyard.

Zhang Lexuan gave him a slight nod with a distant smile, but didn't say anything more. She then turned to another male student and gestured for him to introduce himself.

"Mo Xuan, a ranged all-around support-type Battle Soul King, level 60, needs his sixth Soul Ring. His Martial Soul is an Aura. My melee ability is relatively poor, so I'm asking for your help this time."

Li Yongyue, who was in front of him, had an ordinary appearance, a fairly common face. Mo Xuan, on the other hand, looked somewhat shy and appeared to be at least twenty-five years old, but his face even turned a little red as he spoke.

A ranged, all-around support-type battle spirit king? Xu Sanshi stared curiously at Mo Xuan, whose face was slightly flushed. Cai Meier seemed to notice everyone's confusion and explained softly:

"I guess none of you have met Mo Xuan. He is a special talent specially trained by our inner academy. His combat ability is relatively weak, so you need to pay special attention to protecting him."

Although his support abilities are not outstanding in individual or team battles, he is the only ranged, all-around support-type Soul Master in the academy in nearly a thousand years.

His support role on the battlefield is unparalleled by any other support-type Soul Master. You will experience this firsthand in your daily lives once you reach the Star Dou Great Forest.

At this point, all the trainees participating in the mission had been introduced. After briefly assigning their respective positions during the journey, Cai Meier waved to Mu En and the others behind her and turned to leave.

Looking at this extremely luxurious lineup, Moon couldn't help but admire it in his heart. Only Shrek Academy could put together such a luxurious Soul Hunter team.

The fact that a dignified Limit Douluo was given the escort duty is an honor that Shrek Academy might not have had if it weren't for the sake of Tang San's ancestor!

Watching the group leave, Yan Shaozhe stood to the side, a worried look on his face, and murmured to himself:

"Elder Mu, Mei'er hasn't left the academy for a long time because of what happened before. Although this mission is meant to train her, why not have Elder Xuan accompany them as well?"

After hearing this, Mu En shook his head slightly and looked at Qian Duoduo, saying softly:

"With the Titan seniors around, if anything unexpected happens, they will construct a spatial teleportation to leave, so nothing will happen."

Besides, she's already such a grown woman. As the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department, if she doesn't gain experience and always looks worried, how can the students feel at ease staying in the academy?

Hearing what Mu En had said, he couldn't say anything more. He watched Cai Meier's departing figure with concern, a sense of unease creeping into his heart...
