Douluo Dragon King: Nine-Colored Lotus, Incinerating All Things

This is a child she watched grow up; how could she bear to part with him?

Lin Jin lowered his head and directly stated his purpose.

"I'm leaving now, Grandma Dean."

Chapter 3: Sending Leng Yaozhu to be his apprentice?

The next morning.

At Fenglin Welfare Home, a group of children are doing morning exercises under the supervision of the director.

Suddenly, the sound of wind breaking rang out, and a figure suddenly appeared in the sky.

Wow, it can fly! And it has wings!

"Is that a flying Soul Master? Their armor is so cool!"

"Ah Jin has innate full soul power, he'll probably become just as powerful in the future!"

A group of children looked at the figure in the sky with bright, admiring eyes.

The dean, whose face was wrinkled, had a hint of worry in his eyes. He looked around and, not seeing Lin Jin, breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking two steps forward, as if nothing had happened, she bowed respectfully: "May I ask what brings you here, sir?"

The person in the air moved, their armor disappearing into their body. In the blink of an eye, they appeared in front of the dean, supporting him with a look of fear on their face.

"Dean Lin, what are you doing?"

Yes, the director of Fenglin Welfare Home is surnamed Lin, and many children actually share her surname, Lin.

Dean Lin, feigning ignorance, asked in confusion, "Does Your Excellency know me?"

Meng Canglan smiled.

know?

I don't know them.

How could he, as the tower master of the branch tower of the Spirit Pagoda in Donghai City, possibly know the director of such a dilapidated welfare home?

The reason I came here is simply because I received a report from my subordinates this morning that a child with innate full soul power has appeared here.

Moreover, the martial soul is a fire element lotus.

As the branch tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower in Donghai City, it would be a serious dereliction of duty for him not to recruit such a prodigy into the Spirit Transmission Tower.

In addition, there have been recent rumors that the Deputy Tower Master of the Headquarters, Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu, intends to take on a disciple.

It should be noted that Leng Yaozhu is a four-word Battle Armor Master, a top-tier expert across the entire Federation and three continents.

It is no secret that his martial spirit, the Heavenly Phoenix, wields the Heavenly Phoenix True Fire.

A fire elemental lotus, a genius with innate full soul power, would definitely catch the other party's eye.

All we need to do is recruit this young man named Lin Jin into the Spirit Pagoda, cultivate a relationship with him, and then introduce him to the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo.

Then he could be said to have made this connection and truly latched onto a powerful figure.

A promotion and transfer to headquarters is just around the corner.

Therefore, he came in person this time, and upon arrival, he immediately unleashed his three-word battle armor, making no attempt to conceal his power.

In addition, he naturally had his subordinates provide him with information about the Maple Forest Welfare Home.

The reason why Dean Lin was so polite to him, and why he didn't even scan them with his spiritual power upon arrival, was ultimately because he was worried about hurting these ordinary people. It was also a combination of kindness and severity.

He needed to both intimidate the other party and show his gentleness in order to ensure that he could win over Lin Jin.

As for why they didn't use force...

"Hahaha, Lord Mengta, you arrived so quickly. Are you afraid we'll try to take the person from you?"

"Exactly, exactly! Our academy doesn't restrict graduates from joining any faction, so why are you doing this!"

Two voices, one wild and unrestrained, the other calm and steady, rang out.

Immediately afterwards, two whooshing sounds rang out.

They were none other than Long Huantian, the burly dean of Tianhai Academy with short, dark red hair, and Zhang Zhenpeng, the dean of Hailu Academy with bronze skin.

Although their strength is far inferior to Meng Canglan's, both of them are well-known figures in the Tianhai Alliance and have some status.

"You two are quite well-informed," Meng Canglan said with a smile, his tone both polite and distant.

He wasn't surprised that the two of them had heard the news and rushed over.

After all, it's impossible for a mere second-ring spirit medium to receive a message in one step; leaks during transmission are quite normal.

At the same time, he was inwardly sneering.

Indeed, the academy does not interfere with what factions a student joins after graduating or while still a student.

But these guys all regard Shrek Academy as a sacred place, and they'd do anything to send their students to Shrek.

Given Lin Jin's talent, if he falls into the hands of these people first, would they really be willing to send him to the Spirit Pagoda?

Of course, there is a high possibility that they would be willing, but that would mean there would inevitably be conflicts of interest involved.

Sometimes, the order of things is very important.

"Have you gentlemen come for Lin Jin?"

Dean Lin knew very well that he didn't have the influence to earn the respect of these people in front of him, and feeling nervous, he immediately steered the conversation back on track.

After all, if these important figures suddenly made a move, Maple Forest Welfare Home would be finished.

Upon hearing Lin Jin's name, Meng Canglan and the other two immediately shifted their attention back to Lin Jin.

Meng Canglan said, "That's right, Dean Lin. Lin Jin has exceptional talent. Only with the best training can he become a true powerhouse. I don't need to elaborate on the advantages of the Spirit Pagoda. You should persuade Lin Jin later."

Despite saying that, Meng Canglan was absolutely certain.

Anyone with a brain would choose to join the Spirit Pagoda.

Long Huantian cursed under his breath and quickly said, "Joining the Spirit Pagoda is certainly an excellent choice, but when it comes to systematic instruction, Tianhai Academy is still the best fit, both in terms of faculty and everything else..."

“Joining the Spirit Pagoda and studying at the academy are not mutually exclusive, I think…” Zhang Zhenpeng immediately chimed in.

Instantly, Long Huantian and Zhang Zhenpeng stared at each other, while Meng Canglan scoffed and ignored them.

The children, who had initially admired the three, were now somewhat frightened by the involuntary aura emanating from them as they fought, and none of them dared to speak.

Dean Lin was not a Soul Master either, and he was sweating profusely at that moment.

Fearing that the three of them would actually start fighting, she immediately said, "My lords, I am just an ordinary person, and the children in the orphanage are all just ordinary people."

"I am not clear about matters concerning Soul Masters, and I cannot make decisions for Lin Jin. The three of you may wish to ask him directly."

After saying that, without waiting for the three of them to say anything, she immediately said, "Lin Xiaocao, go and call Lin Jin out."

"Okay." Lin Xiaocao is an awakened Blue Silver Grass, possessing first-level innate soul power.

It was only then that the children realized that Lin Jin had not gotten up for his morning exercise.

"Perhaps the awakening of the martial soul was too tiring?" they wondered, since they were not born with full soul power and did not know the specific situation.

Long Huantian and Zhang Zhenpeng exchanged a glance, snorted coldly, and turned their heads away, remaining silent for the time being.

Meng Canglan remained calm throughout, appearing confident and composed.

After a while.

"Oh no, Grandma Dean, Lin Jin..." Lin Xiaocao's anxious voice rang out.

Everyone's expression changed.

Dean Lin's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his face turned grim. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"Lin Jin, Lin Jin is missing!" Lin Xiaocao gasped for breath, her face full of worry.

"What?!" Meng Canglan and the other two all changed their expressions.

Dean Lin's vision went black, and he fell straight backward.

"Grandma Dean!"

"Dean Lin?"

Chapter 4 The Seven-Colored Lotus of the Fire Li Tribe

Lin Jin had anticipated that Meng Canglan would go to Fenglin Welfare Home to snatch people away.

But Meng Canglan had the idea of ​​introducing him to Leng Yaozhu as an apprentice, which he really didn't expect.

Otherwise, he might not have chosen to leave.

After all, the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo is truly powerful, and the resources he can mobilize are not to be underestimated.

But if he could go back to last night, he would still choose to leave.

Destiny is only true destiny when it is in your own hands.

Moreover, some resources in the Spirit Pagoda are unavailable.

Just as Meng Canglan and the others were heading to the Maple Forest Welfare Home to snatch people away, Lin Jin had already arrived alone in front of the East Sea City Blacksmith Association.

Yes, he chose to come here directly.

He decided to join the Blacksmiths' Guild.

There are many reasons.

First, the battle armor.

The appearance of battle armor will certainly distract soul masters from their cultivation, thus slowing down the rate at which their soul power increases.

However, battle armor can indeed greatly enhance the strength of soul masters, and it has also raised the number of strong people in this era by more than one level.

The rare metals used in forging are unavoidable in the manufacture of battle armor.

Secondly, money.

Forging is the most difficult of the four secondary professions, and reaching level nine is nearly ten times more difficult than the other three.
