Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 100 Dream of the Mortal World: You're Amazing, Lin Dong!

Seeing Lin Dong's slightly nervous expression, Jing Hongchen unconsciously swallowed. If he succeeded, wouldn't he change the entire soul tool development industry?

Judging from Lin Dong's expression, it was clear that the so-called smelting method had reached its most crucial moment. He was still immersed in the shock of Lin Dong's mysterious flame. Under his anxious gaze, Lin Dong finally made up his mind and exhaled.

The Eye of Life on his forehead seemed to become even brighter, and a rich green energy spewed out again, passing through Lin Dong's palm and being channeled into the cauldron.

The moment that green energy was poured in, the original strange flames became even more ferocious, enveloping the liquid formed from the thunder crystal and diamond gold, and seeping into the spear.

Under the scorching heat of the flames, wisps of blue smoke actually seeped out from the Silent Dragon Thunder Spear, and the liquids adhering to the surface of the spear also began to boil, constantly eroding the inside of the spear under the pressure of the spiritual fire.

"Buzz!"

As these metallic properties penetrated the spear's interior, the balance seemed to be broken, and the spear shook violently, with a faint buzzing sound emanating from it.

Blinding beams of light shot out from the spear, their sharp brilliance piercing the entire room, filled with immense destructive power.

Sensing the spear's resistance, Lin Dong snorted coldly. "It's just a level four soul tool. I don't believe you can be that arrogant!"

Lin Dong bit his lip and unleashed a surge of spiritual power, enveloping the furnace. The light shone on the mysterious black hole formed by the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, creating ripples that then dissipated.

"Merge!"

Lin Dong's eyes turned serious. Then, he suddenly clenched his fist, and the strange flames that enveloped the Silent Dragon Thunder Spear shrank violently.

"laugh!"

As the strange flames compressed it fiercely, all the golden liquid on the spear was forced directly into the spear shaft, and instantly, a dazzling light burst forth from the Silent Dragon Thunder Spear.

The sharp light pierced into the black hole set up by Lin Dong before slowly disappearing without causing any damage.

Looking at the grand scene before him, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but click his tongue. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was manufacturing a level seven or eight soul tool.

I never expected this kid's talent to have reached such a level! I really can't understand him anymore.

Lin Dong took a deep breath, temporarily calming the chaotic energy within his body. His eyes narrowed slightly as he activated the flames formed from the ancestral symbol, lifting the successfully refined spear from the mouth of the cauldron.

The once arrogant spear became much more docile after being enveloped in strange flames. Lin Dong picked up the purple spear and swung it lightly, producing a series of crackling sounds.

Lin Dong grinned: "Good gun!"

The current Silent Dragon Thunder Spear is more slender than before it was refined, and the fine dragon patterns on the spearhead have taken on a heavy purplish-black luster.

However, what made Lin Dong's pupils shrink the most was that there was a faint sense of flow between the original dragon pattern structure, as if it were a living thing, which looked extremely magical.

Holding the shaft of the Silent Dragon Thunder Spear, Lin Dong grinned. This soul tool had no intelligence; the sharp light just now was merely an autonomous counterattack from the thunderous power it contained.

Therefore, it cannot be imprinted with a spiritual mark like a spiritual treasure. This is why he used thunder crystals to forge the entire spear body. Now, this Silent Dragon Thunder Spear can be said to be filled with powerful lightning energy.

With the added power of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol, it can be said that anyone below the Soul King level, without a monstrous physique like Lin Dong's or an extremely powerful lightning attribute, would likely be paralyzed by lightning the moment they come into contact with it.

After Lin Dong's enhancement, once Jing Hongchen has installed the Soul Guidance Amplifier, his Silent Dragon Thunder Spear will be able to unleash power comparable to a level six Soul Guidance Device.

Once the power of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol is used, the paralyzing force at the tip of the spear will be so strong that even a typical offensive Soul Emperor would find it unpleasant to be hit by it.

This originally useless but impressive-looking Silent Dragon Thunder Spear, after being refined by Lin Dong, finally shed its reputation as a useless spear.

Seeing that Lin Dong had made all the preparations, Jing Hongchen chuckled dryly.

"Hehe, Lin Dong, what kind of magical skill is this? And your magical flames, how come diamonds and refined gold are as brittle as paper in front of them? You little guy, you always manage to slap me in the face precisely when I doubt you the most."

A calm smile appeared on Lin Dong's face: "They're just some petty tricks, nothing to mention."

Jing Hongchen pointed at him and smiled: "You little rascal, how can you be so modest? Since you're unwilling to talk about it, then tell me what you just did. That wouldn't be too much to ask, would it?"

Seeing the expectant look in his eyes, Lin Dong had no choice but to nod.

"I just improved the quality of this soul tool. With my current mental strength, this is the best I can do. If I use some special methods, I should be able to make this Silent Dragon Thunder Spear comparable to a level six soul tool."

Jing Hongchen's face froze instantly, staring at Lin Dong in horror. After a long while, he finally spoke in a daze:

"You... are you telling the truth? Your method actually upgraded the soul tool two levels! And from what you're saying, this doesn't seem to be your limit?"

Seeing his terrified expression, Lin Dong nodded helplessly.

"Once my mental strength improves again, I should be able to create a complete soul tool. For now, I can only make minor improvements."

"You mean... you can forge soul tools without using a carving knife or carving the core cultivation techniques, relying solely on the cauldron?"

Lin Dong nodded quietly: "That's right, but if one's spiritual power is sufficient, it's feasible to do without a cauldron."

Jing Hongchen then excitedly grabbed his arm, her voice trembling with barely concealed excitement:

"Lin Dong, can your method spread widely? If it can, it would undoubtedly be a major revolution for the entire soul tool industry!"

After listening, Lin Dong thought for a moment and replied, "It seems unlikely. I call this method the Soul Guidance Device Spirit Ascension Method. It not only requires outstanding mental strength, but also very special techniques. I'm afraid very few people can do it."

After all, not everyone is like Lin Dong, who can switch to cultivating Yuan Power and possess a divine artifact like the Ancestral Symbol. In a sense, it's not that there aren't many people, but that no one can do it.

Jing Hongchen's excitement subsided somewhat, but she still couldn't help muttering to herself:

"The method of ascending spirits... What a wonderful method of ascending spirits with a soul tool! I never expected you to come up with such a sophisticated name."

However, even if it cannot be widely disseminated, if the news of your exclusive technology were to spread, it would likely attract countless people to ask you to customize a weapon.

"From what you just said, you seem to be able to fully integrate the properties of these metals into weapons, right?"

Lin Dong nodded: "At least judging from this Silent Dragon Thunder Spear, my plan has succeeded."

Jing Hongchen let out a curious "oh" and grabbed the Silent Dragon Thunder Spear to investigate. However, the sudden burst of thunderous power emanating from it made Jing Hongchen instinctively pull his hand back.

Seeing Lin Dong's teasing expression, Jing Hongchen glared at him and coughed lightly:

"Hey kid, what are you laughing at? This is a normal reaction. You coated the entire gun with lightning, how come you're perfectly fine?"

Lin Dong smiled mysteriously and handed him the Silent Dragon Thunder Spear, saying with a smile:

"With your cultivation level, you should be unaffected by enveloping your palm with soul power."

Seeing his expression, Jing Hongchen instantly understood his intention; he clearly wanted to create a soul tool that was exclusively his own.

The most obvious advantage and drawback of soul tools as they have developed to this point is that anyone can use them as long as they have enough soul power.

Even so, it's amazing how rarely murder and robbery occur, which perfectly fits the setting of the Romance Continent.

Jing Hongchen picked up the Silent Dragon Thunder Spear, examined it closely, and feeling the surging lightning power on it, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"Great gun! The lightning power contained in these two kilograms of thunder crystals has not only been perfectly integrated, but has even surpassed it. You little guy, you've done an impeccable job."

Lin Dong smiled and scratched his head: "Dean, you flatter me."

Jing Hongchen, however, didn't buy it and waved his hand dismissively:

"Alright, alright, little guy, stop being modest. Maybe once your mental strength improves further, I'll have to ask you for a soul tool. Your talent is simply terrifying."

If what you're doing becomes widespread, I think this old guy will probably be completely unemployed in the future.

Lin Dong didn't elaborate on this. The development of this plane was indeed far different from that of the Tianxuan Continent. If the weapon-refining and cultivation methods of Tianxuan could be popularized, it would probably be just as Jing Hongchen said.

However, in that case, I would probably become a plane lord-like being, just like Tianxuan. I wonder if plane spirits have been born in such a relatively... lower-level plane.

While Lin Dong was lost in thought, Jing Hongchen, like a child bursting with curiosity, secretly slipped over to the cauldron and began to examine it closely.

However, after studying it for a long time, I couldn't see anything unusual. It seems to be Lin Dong's special method. But his flames are so magical, it's unbelievable.

Lin Dong seemed to snap out of his reverie. It was too early to think about things so far in the future; his immediate priority was to improve his cultivation level.

With his current cultivation level at the mid-stage of the Earthly Realm, he would probably need to increase his soul power by three to four levels before he could break through to the late stage.

Upon witnessing Jing Hongchen's strange behavior, Lin Dong muttered to himself, somewhat speechless:

"Dean, I just bought this furnace from an auction. It's not that I'm unwilling to share, but the method is so special that I can't explain it in detail."

Jing Hongchen smiled and waved his hand after hearing this:

"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just curious. You little guy, you have plenty of secrets, don't you? As long as you don't have any bad intentions towards the academy, whatever secrets you have, I won't delay your cultivation. You should go back now."

Hearing this, Lin Dong felt a surge of warmth in his heart. As if having made up his mind, he looked at Jing Hongchen and smiled:

"Dean, I wonder if I could ask you for a favor in three days? I have an idea that, if it can be done, would be of great help to Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen."

Jing Hongchen nodded without hesitation: "No problem, I'll go with those two to find you. I won't have the courage to question you anytime soon."

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

"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the room."

"No problem, I look forward to your performance."

.........

Three days later, Lin Dong, having adjusted himself to his best condition, had just finished his cultivation and was quietly waiting for Jing Hongchen and the other two to visit him.

A crisp knock sounded at the door, and Meng Hongchen's head peeked out from the crack, her pretty face beaming with visible joy.

"Hehe, I never thought you'd actually take the initiative to invite us in. Aren't you going to invite us in?"

Before Lin Dong could answer, Meng Hongchen slipped under his armpit, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"I didn't expect you to be so clean. I thought you were like Xiao, only knowing how to cultivate and not cleaning your room. Hmm... this room doesn't even smell bad. It looks a bit too clean. You don't have OCD, do you...?"

The girl's chattering incessantly added a touch of warmth to Lin Dong's otherwise quiet room. Lin Dong gently reminded her:

"Let's get down to business first. It's just a place to stay, nothing special."

Meng Hongchen stuck out her tongue playfully and made a face, looking somewhat unconvinced.

"Well, you let us in. It's a rare opportunity to get to know you, so we can't let it slip by easily."

Lin Dong nodded with a dark expression, then turned to look at Xiao Hongchen and the other person with a somewhat helpless expression:

"Since Miss Meng hasn't had enough fun yet, let's start with you, Xiao Hongchen. However, Dean, I'll have to trouble you to oversee things from the sidelines, since I'm not entirely sure about this matter myself."

Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen immediately became anxious and said, "No! I'll go first, let Xiao wait on the side."

Lin Dong looked at Jing Hongchen, his eyes flashing with a questioning light.

Jing Hongchen chuckled softly: "No problem, let Xiaomeng go first. You can do it with confidence, and I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

Meng Hongchen glanced at him with a resentful look: "Grandpa, we're the ones who got into trouble, what makes you think you can take responsibility?"

Jing Hongchen glared at him: "Can't Grandpa take responsibility for you two? You little brat, cooperate fully with Lin Dong later. I can sense that if what he does succeeds, the benefits for the two of you will be unimaginable."

Hearing her grandfather say that, Meng Hongchen stopped smiling and nodded obediently.

Under Lin Dong's command, Meng Hongchen sat cross-legged and, as Lin Dong instructed, circulated her soul power outside her body, with icy blue soul power slowly shooting out from her palms.

Lin Dong's mind stirred, and a mysterious black hole suddenly appeared in front of Meng Hongchen. Ice-blue soul power surged from the black hole and condensed into a purer energy.

Seeing this scene before him, Jing Hongchen was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe. As a titled Douluo powerhouse...

He could sense that Meng Hongchen's soul power, after emerging from the black hole, had become several times more refined than ordinary soul power, which was simply too astonishing!

Time passed slowly, and Xiao Hongchen realized the crux of the matter. He sat quietly on Lin Dong's bed, waiting for his next move.

Four hours had passed, and even Xiao Hongchen was starting to feel tired. He blinked his long, narrow eyes, sensing that Meng Hongchen's soul power was being drained.

If Lin Dong harbored any intention to harm her, he could simply end things now and reduce Meng Hongchen's years of cultivation to ashes.

But judging from the sweat on Lin Dong's forehead and his serious expression, it was obvious that he wouldn't do that, and Jing Hongchen's heart was in her throat at this moment.

That was his own granddaughter, whom he had painstakingly nurtured for fifteen or sixteen years. If he were to carelessly cause her to lose all her cultivation and something were to happen to her, he couldn't even imagine how he would react.

Under the tense gaze of the two, all the soul power in Meng Hongchen's body was drained, and two golden soul rings lit up under Lin Dong's feet.

Mental detection and mental sharing are activated simultaneously!

After telling Meng Hongchen his thoughts, and waiting for him to make preparations, Lin Dong manipulated the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to slowly transfer the refined Yuan Power into Meng Hongchen's body.

Following Lin Dong's instructions, as soon as Meng Hongchen sensed the mysterious energy entering her body, she used all her strength to compress it into her dantian.

Although their meridians are not as resilient as Lin Dong's, as the key talents cultivated by Mingde Hall, their physical qualities are by no means inferior.

After painstakingly gathering the mysterious energy in her dantian, Meng Hongchen's face turned deathly pale. She bit her red lips tightly and continued to compress the energy with her willpower.

After compressing that energy to its limit, Meng Hongchen instantly felt a sharp pain, as if something was about to tear her meridians apart and burst out of her bones.

Under this intense pain, Meng Hongchen's delicate body couldn't help but tremble violently.

"Buzz!"

The trembling of her body became more and more violent, and suddenly, a low, seemingly non-existent sound came from within her body.

Just as this deep voice sounded, Meng Hongchen's vision went black. In a daze, she saw a transparent ball of light, about the size of a walnut, inside her body, with a few wisps of faint black silk swirling around it.

The ball of light flowed slowly within her body, exerting a strange suction force. Under this suction force, even the surrounding world emitted faint traces of energy, which eventually seeped into her body with her breath.

After Meng Hongchen's vision returned to normal, the intense pain in her body just now disappeared instantly, replaced by a wonderful feeling of refreshment.

Feeling the miraculous changes occurring within her body, she clearly sensed that, with Lin Dong's help, this mysterious ball of light appeared.

She seemed to be able to make soul power pass through this mysterious ball of light, and the soul power would become several times stronger than before. This was simply amazing!

She was absolutely certain that if she used this energy to activate her soul skill, she would be able to greatly enhance its power.

The boost this energy brought her cannot be explained in a few words. Although her soul power is now practically non-existent, her actual cultivation level is more than one level higher than before.

Overwhelmed with joy, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but cry out, excitedly grabbing Lin Dong's arm:

"Lin Dong! No wonder Grandpa loves you so much, you're amazing!"

I'm begging for monthly votes and recommendations every day! Please try not to let the book sit unfinished while I'm writing 10,000 words a day. If I have to wait until it's finished, I'll lose motivation and end up writing only 4 words a day.
