Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 28 Laughing at the World: Did I misplace my trust?

Lin Dong noticed her gaze, smiled calmly at her, and didn't explain anything further.

If what Tianmeng said is true, and this unattractive thing is actually the elixir of a ten-thousand-year-old whale, then his physical body can advance even further. This is a rare and precious item!

Looking at Lin Dong's joyful face, Jing Hongchen's doubts deepened, but she still said to him:

"Once we get back to the academy, I'll find a fire-attribute teacher to help you process it. You can't absorb it right now."

Lin Dong nodded after hearing this: "Then thank you very much, Dean."

"Now that things are over, let's get back to the academy as soon as possible. Lord Mo, please fill up the soul power of our flying soul tool tonight, and we'll return to the academy tomorrow."

"yes!"

After receiving the flying soul tool from Lin Dong and the others, they handed it to the servants beside them and returned to their rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, Lin Dong and his companions used their flying soul tools to rush back to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

As Lin Dong walked back to his residence with Xiao Hongchen and her brother, Xiao Hongchen suddenly blurted out:

"Although I know I'm very talented and popular, thank you for giving me such a good thing."

Lin Dong paused for a moment after hearing this, then chuckled softly, "You've misunderstood. I just want the whale glue I chose."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen's confident smile froze on his face, and he remained silent for a long time. Meng Hongchen, however, couldn't help but laugh:

"Haha, you overestimate yourself. I knew Lin Dong wouldn't pass up an opportunity and let others have the benefits."

When Lin Dong heard her say that this time it involved both of them, he couldn't help but retort, "I'll take that as a compliment."

"I don't believe it!" Xiao Hongchen replied somewhat awkwardly, then added after seeing the two trying not to laugh:

"Anyone can see that your whale glue is a weathered, defective product, and it's not even certain if it's edible. I can't think of any other explanation besides that you want to give it to me."

To avoid getting too entangled with his overconfident words, Lin Dong could only stare at him and whisper:

"Brother Hongchen, I'm not interested in men."

"We didn't discuss this topic with you!"

Lin Dong sighed helplessly upon hearing this, "If you really don't believe me, find a teacher to refine the whale glue tomorrow and you'll understand."

After saying that, he went straight into his room without making any further explanations. He didn't even have time to cultivate during the flight; he still needed to cultivate his soul power, so he didn't have time to waste on arguing.

Xiao Hongchen watched his departing figure and whispered:

"I refuse to believe it! You may have talent in soul tools, but this genius has enjoyed so many good things since childhood. Do you think I can lose to you in terms of discernment?"

Meng Hongchen couldn't help but say, "Looks like you're just being presumptuous. I knew that guy wouldn't do anything stupid."

Xiao Hongchen snorted coldly: "We'll find out who's just being delusional tomorrow."

After saying that, he left without looking back. Meng Hongchen looked at the two characters "Lin Dong" on the door and chuckled softly, muttering, "You really are the bane of laughter."

"Lin Dong, come on, I've asked Grandpa to find me a good teacher. Let me see what kind of treasures you can find."

Lin Dong was woken up early in the morning by Xiao Hongchen. He opened the door, and Xiao Hongchen stood confidently in the doorway, hands in his pockets, raising his chin as he said:

"Let's go, let's see how long you can keep up this stubbornness."

Lin Dong didn't argue with him. He nodded and greeted Meng Hongchen, who was secretly laughing to the side. Although Meng Hongchen was a little unhappy, she didn't say anything and walked confidently ahead of the two.

Meng Hongchen gently nudged Lin Dong and laughed, "I'm waiting to see how you break down with laughter."

Lin Dong was taken aback for a moment, then touched his nose and said calmly, "I'll try my best."

The three walked to a secret chamber, where they saw an old man dressed in a red robe who smiled kindly at them:

"The dean has already instructed me to bring out the whale glue you want to melt."

Lin Dong took out the black whale glue from his storage soul tool. A look of astonishment appeared in the old man's cloudy eyes, and he stammered:

"I've refined quite a bit of whale glue, and this piece looks rotten. If someone gets sick from eating it, don't blame me."

Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Hongchen became even more confident. He handed over his five-thousand-year-old whale glue, which was shining brightly with golden light. He glanced sideways at Lin Dong, noticing his composed expression, and muttered to himself:

Let's see how long you can keep up this act. You'll just end up giving the resources to the geniuses, and there's nothing shameful about that.

The old man took the whale gelatin, a hint of admiration in his eyes, and said with a smile, "This looks much better."

Looking at Lin Dong's indifferent expression, Meng Hongchen glanced at Xiao Hongchen with some sympathy, thinking that someone was probably going to be heartbroken.

The old man picked up the whale glue from the three men and began to refine it. Blazing flames shot out from his palms as time passed.

Meng Hongchen's four-thousand-year-old whale glue was the first to melt. After about ten minutes, Xiao Hongchen's also began to slowly melt. When the old man saw this, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. Could it be that he had misjudged it?

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

Generally speaking, the higher the quality of whale glue, the more troublesome it is to melt. The black crystals with poor appearance have not shown any signs of melting yet.

Seeing this, the old man silently increased the firepower on Lin Dong's whale glue. Lin Dong looked at the scene in front of him and a smile appeared on his lips. He understood the saying that true gold is not afraid of fire. He was right after all!

Xiao Hongchen's expression was not so pleasant. Unless Lin Dong's piece was a stone, the age of Lin Dong's whale glue must be much older than his!

Seeing Xiao Hongchen's unpleasant expression, Meng Hongchen unusually remained silent, but a strange glint flashed in her eyes as she looked at Lin Dong. This guy really was Xiao's nemesis.

Under Xiao Hongchen's blank stare, another half hour passed before the black whale glue slowly began to melt.

In an instant, a strange fragrance filled the entire room, and a rich energy fluctuation emanated from it. Xiao Hongchen's already unpleasant expression turned completely somber, and he murmured in a low voice:

"No, impossible! Millennium whale glue! How could this be? How could I have misjudged it?"

The old man stared at the dark golden gelatinous substance in the flames, his shock deepening, and his gaze toward Lin Dong becoming more solemn.

Lin Dong remained calm and showed no surprise, which made it seem as if he had known all along that this piece of whale glue was extraordinary.

"Good eye! Heh, I misjudged you this time."

Hearing the old man's praise, Lin Dong took back his dark golden gelatinous substance and smiled faintly, "Thank you, teacher."

He was about to return to his room to refine and absorb the essence when Xiao Hongchen reached out and blocked his way, looking somewhat dejected.

"So you didn't choose it to give me the resources, right?"

"I've already made myself clear. This is my own choice, Brother Hongchen. I need to go back to cultivate. Excuse me."

Seeing Lin Dong's look of utter disbelief, Xiao Hongchen dejectedly released his grip, rubbing his temples in frustration.

"What's wrong with me? I become so irrational as soon as I get involved with this guy."
