Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 2 The Fallen Genius: Wind - Almost Killed God - Baboon!

"Madam, that little bastard has awakened his original martial soul, and it's even at full innate soul power. What do you think... should we keep it?"

A graceful and elegant woman sat upright on a chair in the hall, her chin held high, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes, and she said in an icy tone:

"That bitch is dead, what's the point of keeping this brat alive? But don't make too much of a fuss, lest someone find something to use against us."

Upon hearing her answer, the servant's lewd face softened with a hint of respect, and he said in a deep voice:

"Yes! I'll arrange it right away!"

Watching the servant turn and leave, the Duchess's red lips curled into a cold smile, and she murmured:

"Blame your mother for misjudging you. Hope you'll be reborn into a better family in your next life."

Inside the woodshed of the Duke's mansion, Lin Dong looked thoughtfully at the White Tiger Dagger before him and murmured, "Should I go find him?"

Lin Dong dismissed the idea as soon as it came to mind, unsure of his biological father's attitude towards him.

After thinking for a while, he decided to leave the Duke's mansion first. He didn't think that poisonous woman would let him go so easily. He then quickly packed his luggage.

Soon, Lin Dong finished tidying up. Looking at the place where he had lived for so long, he felt no reluctance whatsoever. This place had been a nightmare for him and his mother.

Lin Dong gently closed the door, his gaze lingering for a moment in the magnificent courtyard of the mansion. A hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he said in an icy tone:

"Duchess, I will return in five to eight years to avenge my son and me. You'd better wash your neck clean and wait."

If someone were nearby, they would be surprised to find that Lin Dong, who was only eleven years old, exuded a monstrous killing intent when he said those words.

Under the cover of night, Lin Dong quietly slipped out through the back door and headed straight for the northwest direction of the White Tiger Duke's mansion.

In the months following his mother's death, he had been preparing for his departure.

He knew that the reason the duchess hadn't killed him so soon was probably, in a sense, thanks to his father, whom he had never met.

His mother once said that she and the White Tiger Duke were childhood sweethearts. Although Lin Dong did not believe it, he thought that this was the Duchess. It was just that his mother died from overwork and that no one was sent to assassinate her.

After all, there are quite a few powerful and entrenched forces in this ducal mansion, and she probably didn't want to be used against someone because of her and her mother's insignificant status.

If his biological father was truly as devoted as his mother said, and willing to settle scores with the Duchess for him and his mother, then he could, for his mother's sake, not pursue the matter too deeply.

But if he insists on siding with that wicked woman, or if he can't explain why he's neglected things for the past eleven years, then he can't blame me for not giving him face.

Although he is incapable of patricide, it is not unreasonable to render him incapable of resisting and let him seek revenge on the Duchess.

Right now, I should get away from the Duke's mansion to avoid being hunted down by the Duchess's pursuers. I definitely can't go to Xingluo City; there might be her spies there.

My current identity is probably not registered with the Star Luo Empire, but I do have quite a few paths to choose from...

With his thoughts lingering there, Lin Dong decided to first go to the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a suitable soul beast.

After all, he had just awakened his martial soul, and if he did not acquire a soul ring, it would be difficult for him to make further progress. The hatred he carried would not allow him to stagnate for too long.

Although with his current strength, he naturally wouldn't dare to venture deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, he could try his luck on the outskirts and perhaps encounter a suitable soul beast.

In the bundle behind him were only some simple food, five gold soul coins, and ten silver soul coins.

These were all the savings he and his mother had painstakingly accumulated over the past eleven years, a truly pitiful situation.

Under the cover of night, a tall and slender figure moved through the darkness.

Outside the woodshed of the Duke's mansion, three dark figures observed each other for a while, gestured to each other, and then the leader gently pushed the door open and entered.

Looking at the empty and simple room, the three masked men couldn't hide their astonishment. This kid, at such a young age, actually knew how to assess the situation so well?!

Returning to the courtyard, the Duchess's lips curled into a slight smile, seemingly believing her plan was complete. A dark figure flashed before her, kneeling on one knee and speaking in a deep voice:

"I inform you, Madam, that boy somehow got wind of the situation and has secretly left."

Upon hearing this, the Duchess slammed her hand on the back of her chair, sat up abruptly, and shouted angrily:

"What! What are you bunch of useless trash doing? That little beast just awakened his soul power, are you implying he can predict the future?"

Seeing the furious Duchess, the man in black could only lower his head and silently bear this undeserved misfortune.

After a moment, seemingly having vented his anger, he coldly gave the order again:

"With that little bastard's guts, he definitely wouldn't go to the Star Dou Great Forest. You guys go to Star Luo City and secretly search for him. I don't believe that a kid who just awakened his martial soul can outrun several Soul Kings like him!"

"yes!"

The servant clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and replied in a low voice, then left under the latter's cold gaze...

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Dong had just set foot on the land of the Star Dou Great Forest when his exceptionally strong spiritual power made him vaguely sense that this forest was quite dangerous.

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

Three more days passed, and Lin Dong, relying on his keen senses, managed to bypass many powerful auras over those three days.

He doesn't have any spirit rings or spirit skills yet, so he naturally has to be careful. However, after awakening his martial spirit, he will be able to use some martial arts techniques, which should be spirit skills now.

With his current physical strength, the highest level of soul skill he can use should be the Qimen Seal.

Tongbei Fist and Eight Desolate Palm are not only inferior in rank to Qimen Seal, but they are also close-combat soul skills, so they are naturally not very suitable for dealing with these soul beasts.

Rather than competing with mindless soul beasts in terms of physical strength, he preferred to compete with them in terms of intelligence and combat experience.

As Lin Dong was pondering his next move, he suddenly sensed a chill behind him. Instinctively, he turned slightly to the side, and a dark figure swept past him.

It was a baboon about one meter tall, covered in brownish-yellow fur, with sharp claws on its paws, protruding sharp canine teeth on its lips, and drool around its mouth, making it look somewhat dull and stupid.

A wisp of gray mist settled over Lin Dong's eyes, and his soul power gathered in his palm, forming a nascent energy handprint.

Then, his body tensed up as he carefully observed the latter's next move.

The wind baboon pushed off the ground with its hind legs and pounced towards him without any brains. Lin Dong didn't hold back and directly blasted his palm print towards the leaping wind baboon.

Watching the wind baboon being blasted several meters away and crash heavily to the ground, its fate unknown.

Lin Dong condensed another hand seal and shot it toward the immobilized baboon on the ground. A faint white light appeared above its body, slowly forming a white halo.

Seeing the white spirit ring, Lin Dong breathed a sigh of relief, dispersed the spirit power in his hands, stepped over the corpse of the wind baboon, and ran towards the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
