Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 19 Laughing at the World: It's Just Grandpa's Task

Lin Dong gave a meaningful smile and nonchalantly touched his ear: "So, you're just saying whether you agree or not?"

Seeing his casual demeanor, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but sigh:

"Sigh, this time the three of us old guys have fallen into your trap. You brat, it's all because your thing is too attractive. I agree."

Seeing that Jing Hongchen had already expressed his opinion, Xuan Ziwen and the other two had no other opinions and nodded at Lin Dong.

Seeing this, Lin Dong smiled with satisfaction. Now that they had all agreed, things would be easier for him to discuss next.

He then looked at Jing Hongchen and smiled, "Dean Hongchen, I presume you have already seen my file?"

Hearing Lin Dong bring up the matter, Jing Hongchen was somewhat puzzled, but he was relieved. After all, the fact that Lin Dong brought it up meant that there was nothing to hide.

He nodded immediately: "That's right, but your file only records how you came to the Sun and Moon, nothing else. Even if you don't want to say, I believe you."

The fact that Jing Hongchen trusts Lin Dong so much shows that he is willing to share such important core technology, which is enough to demonstrate Lin Dong's sincerity.

Jing Hongchen's words made Lin Dong feel more favorably toward him, but after hesitating for a moment, he slowly spoke:

"Teachers, I'll tell you the truth. I'm not actually from the Sun Moon Empire, but from the Star Luo Empire."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three changed, and Jing Hongchen couldn't help but ask:

"Then why did you come to Sun Moon Academy? With your talent, wouldn't Shrek Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy be fighting over you?"

"I have an irreconcilable feud with the wife of the White Tiger Duke. Staying in Xingluo would inevitably make me a target, and she even sent pursuers to kill me, so I had no choice but to come to Riyue."

Jing Hongchen and the other two exchanged glances, their eyes brimming with uncontrollable smiles. This duchess was truly a kind person; they would properly "thank" her in the future.

Jing Hongchen looked at Lin Dong with a serious expression and said, "Don't worry, now that you've come to Sun Moon Academy, not to mention the Duchess, even that White Tiger Duke wouldn't dare to come looking for revenge. Just focus on your cultivation, and the academy will give you the best treatment."

"By the way, Dean, if you apply my core magic array to soul tools, I hope I can have control over these soul tools in the future. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't hold grudges."

All three noticed that a chilling killing intent suddenly appeared on Lin Dong's youthful face, but he quickly recovered and continued:

"It doesn't have to be all of it; just take what I need. I don't think that's an unreasonable request."

Hearing Lin Dong's calm tone, Jing Hongchen showed no dissatisfaction, but instead smiled and agreed:

"No problem, these are minor matters. The Empire will even provide you with a custom-made soul tool if you need it."

Hearing Jing Hongchen's reply, Lin Dong smiled with satisfaction, then cupped his hands in greeting to Jing Hongchen:

"Thank you very much, Dean and both teachers."

Seeing his rather mature actions, the three looked at each other in bewilderment. Just how badly had the boy been persecuted to have such a mature mind?

Then, a hint of kindness unconsciously appeared in his eyes as he looked at Lin Dong.

As the head of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen still had to probe the matter by asking:

"Lin Dong, if one day the Sun Moon and Star Luo armies go to war, which side will you choose to stand on?"

Lin Dong noticed the wariness in his eyes, but still calmly said, "Stand on my side."

Hearing his answer, Jing Hongchen frowned and couldn't help but ask, "Then which side are you on?"

"I'll side with whoever treats me well. Anyway, my impression of Xingluo has always been just that little woodshed."

Seeing the coldness in Lin Dong's eyes, a barely perceptible hint of joy flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes as she secretly pondered:

It seems we need to send more people to build a relationship with Lin Dong. He's in a vulnerable position right now, so perhaps... we should let Xiao and Meng spend more time with him.

Thinking of this, Jing Hongchen immediately looked at Lin Dong and nodded:

"That's good. As long as you don't have any intention of helping the Star Luo Empire, we at Sun and Moon will definitely do our best to nurture you."

Lin Dong nodded, as if recalling something, and said with a complicated expression:

"Once the war begins, besides myself, only my close friends and family can protect me. As for the sect and the country, they will be too busy to care about them."

Looking at Lin Dong in front of her, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but think of her grandchildren.

Although both of them are quite talented, their character is far inferior to Lin Dong's. It's estimated that it won't be long before this young man becomes the leader of the entire academy.

He then sighed and patted his shoulder heavily:

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Your most important task now is to improve your cultivation level. Focus on your practice."

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

Lin Dong nodded: "Then I'll go back and rest first. Tomorrow I'll explain the core formation to the three teachers in detail in Professor Xuan's laboratory."

Upon hearing this, all three of them unconsciously smiled and nodded repeatedly, like elementary school students listening to their teacher.

If others saw this scene, they probably wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death. These three are all top researchers of Sun and Moon Soul Tools. How could they be so...respectful to a boy who is only eleven years old?

After parting ways with the three, Lin Dong returned to his residence. Exhausted from such intense work, he collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep…

Lin Dong opened his eyes, saw the sun high in the sky outside, and rubbed his temples:

"I only made a level two soul tool, and I'm already so tired. I slept until now. I need to start cultivating soon."

After taking a deep breath, he was about to begin absorbing the power of thunder to temper the Great Sun Thunder Body when a knock suddenly sounded at the door.

Lin Dong got up and opened the door, only to find Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen standing there. Before he could speak, Meng Hongchen smiled and said:

"Grandpa asked me to show you around the academy and also to explain how to use some soul tools."

Then a strange smile appeared on his face, and he pointed to Xiao Hongchen beside him, saying:

"As for this guy, he's my stubborn and arrogant older brother. He'd rather die than admit that you're better than him, but he insisted on coming along to see you."

Looking at the scene before him, Lin Dong suddenly thought of Qing Tan, and then took the initiative to extend his hand to Xiao Hongchen: "Hello, Lin Dong."

Xiao Hongchen first glared at Meng Hongchen, who was snickering, then stretched out his hand, his tone tinged with arrogance: "Xiao Hongchen!"

Seeing Lin Dong's strange gaze, Xiao Hongchen unconsciously turned his head to the side and said sullenly:

"Why are you looking at me like that? I only came to see you because of Grandpa's mission. Don't listen to Meng's nonsense."

Lin Dong was initially unsure, but upon hearing his words, he instantly became certain of one thing:

Another one like Little Mink, who likes to talk tough.
