Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 43 Dream of the Mortal World: Using Only Mouth?

Already weakened, Lin Dong, seeing the hungry crowd around him, dared not linger for even a moment. He gave them a genuine smile:

"I'm not feeling well today, let's talk another day."

After saying that, he squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards his apartment.

Meng Hongchen's expectant eyes flickered, and she wanted to stop him, but seeing his unsteady steps, she finally stepped forward and helped him up.

The expressions on everyone's faces were quite interesting as they watched this scene. Since Jing Hongchen was present, no one made a sound to stir up trouble.

Jing Hongchen's face showed no displeasure whatsoever; on the contrary, it gave the impression that he had finally given away his granddaughter.

Lin Dong looked at Meng Hongchen's slightly flushed cheeks, pulled away from her support, and said softly:

"I'm much better now, thank you, Miss Meng."

A flash of displeasure crossed Meng Hongchen's eyes, but she still stubbornly insisted:

"You're always so formal. I haven't done anything to you, why are you being so sensitive?"

Lin Dong couldn't say much about it, he just smiled and shook his head: "I can do it myself."

"You're just showing off!"

Meng Hongchen was clearly annoyed by his repeated rejections. She snorted and stopped speaking.

Lin Dong didn't explain further, but walked straight towards his residence. A struggle flashed in Meng Hongchen's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she lightly touched her lips with her silver teeth, stomped her foot, and chased after him.

"Do you possess twin martial souls?"

Meng Hongchen muttered something in a low voice. Lin Dong paused for a moment upon hearing this, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded. In order not to expose the existence of the Ancestral Symbol, he could only use this thing to reduce the attention of others.

Unexpectedly, Meng Hongchen's pretty face stiffened, and she uttered a sentence in a daze:

"Are you even human? No wonder Grandpa treats you like a treasure, so that's why. Hehe, I really want to see Xiao's expression when she finds out."

Lin Dong shook his head helplessly upon hearing this, and said in a calm tone:

"The dean is unaware of this matter yet. Is this so-called 'Ultimate Ice' that amazing?"

Seeing the way Meng Hongchen looked at him like he was an idiot, Lin Dong coughed lightly, his expression somewhat unnatural, and said:

"Uh, what's wrong? Is this question strange?"

Meng Hongchen rolled her eyes, looking at him with disdain and saying irritably:

"All you know is cultivation? That's an ultimate martial soul! You're absolutely monstrous!"

Seeing Lin Dong's questioning gaze, Meng Hongchen gave a soft "hmm":

"The ultimate martial soul, the original martial soul, and the twin martial souls—if you possess just one of these, you can receive extremely good treatment in any academy or sect on the continent."

Then he suddenly moved closer to Lin Dong, meeting his deep eyes, and said:

"But now, all three of these martial souls are on you at the same time. Isn't that rare? You really have talent but don't know it."

Lin Dong smiled in surprise, lost in thought:

I possess twin martial souls; strictly speaking, I should have three martial souls. However, it's better for this to remain unknown. What I've revealed so far is enough to warrant proper nurturing.

Meng Hongchen looked at the dazed Lin Dong, waved her hand in front of him, and hummed softly:

"Hey, don't you have any manners? I'm talking to you, what are you thinking about?!"

Seeing her pouting and sulky expression, Lin Dong shook his head apologetically:

"Sorry, I was just thinking about something. Please continue."

Meng Hongchen rolled her eyes at him before saying resentfully:

"I must have owed you something in my past life. In short, an ultimate martial soul can suppress martial souls of the same attribute, and its restraining effect is even stronger against martial souls that are incompatible with it."

"For example, Li Yan. His cultivation level is similar to Mika's. If you fight him, it should be much easier. His fire attribute will be completely suppressed by your ultimate ice."

Lin Dong paused for a moment after hearing this, then nodded: "I see, thank you, Miss Meng."

Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen seemed to have seized an opportunity, and looked at him with a smile:

"Are you just going to thank me with words? Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Lin Dong looked at the triumphant smile on her face and sighed helplessly: "Speak, what is it?"

"I found everyone's questions very interesting."

Seeing her resting her chin on her hand with great interest, Lin Dong gave a teasing smile, shook his head, and said calmly:

Only one is allowed.

Meng Hongchen pouted after hearing this, seemingly dissatisfied and wanting to bargain, but seeing Lin Dong's calm and serious face, she could only give in:

"Okay, um... let me think, what exactly is your Ultimate Ice Martial Soul?"

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

"Lin Dong, even if my martial soul is not as good as your talisman, don't reveal my existence. Tell her that your martial soul is the Ice Jade Scorpion."

Upon hearing Hyotei's reminder, Lin Dong answered without hesitation.

"The Ice Jade Scorpion is a very powerful martial soul. I heard that one of the three overlords of the far north is of this race. I wonder how much my Crimson Ice Toad will be suppressed."

Lin shook her head: "I don't know either. Okay, I've answered your question. I'm going to my room to rest now."

After saying that, she went straight back to her room, closed the door, and stared blankly at the closed door. After a moment, she came to her senses and muttered:

"I refuse to believe you can keep treating me like this!!"

After saying that, she waved her pink little fist at the next room, then turned and went into her own bedroom.

After returning to his room, Lin Dong began to plan for today's battle, rubbing his forehead and muttering a curse:

"This soul power is so weak. I only used the Ice Emperor's Turtle once, plus the power of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol I used a little before, and it completely depleted my soul power."

"Of course, my Ice Emperor's Turtle is a soul skill provided by a 400,000-year soul ring. Your ancestral symbol is stronger than mine, even if it automatically adapts to your level."

"But you've been using the Thunder Ancestral Symbol to absorb that guy's lightning power, which must have taken a toll. If it weren't for your physical strength and precise control over the symbol's power, you would have been completely drained of your soul power long ago."

Hyotei's calm voice echoed in his spiritual sea, and Lin Dong could only smile wryly:

"I never expected to have this problem of not having enough soul power because my martial soul quality is too high. It seems I need to hurry up and cultivate."

"Even if you hurry up, it might not be of any use. That girl didn't tell you that the cultivation speed of an ultimate martial soul is slower than that of others. In addition, your situation is more special, so I don't know how your cultivation speed will be."

Upon hearing Hyotei's words, Lin Dong was taken aback at first, then shook his head in annoyance:

"This is really troublesome. Is it because I have too many soul skills? I guess I'm the first person to be bothered by this."

"Logically speaking, that should be the case. Your Ancestral Stone Martial Soul and two Soul Rings are of increasingly higher quality. If it weren't for Tianmeng, I would feel a bit inferior just sitting here."
