With him around, the academy can't be turned upside down.
Chapter 44 With him around, the academy can't be turned upside down.
Hearing Hyotei's words, Lin Dong smiled and shook his head, jokingly saying:
"There's no need to say that. Your martial spirit can help me conceal the existence of the Ancestral Symbol, allowing me to keep a low profile."
Hyotei glared at him angrily upon hearing this, her voice slightly shrill:
"You're basically saying I'm useless except for concealing the existence of the Ancestral Symbol?!"
Lin Dong could only remain silent. Even though he was not good at matters between men and women, he knew that one should not argue with a woman who was stuck in a rut.
Turning to Tianmeng, who was chuckling to herself, she whispered, "Tianmeng, your voice."
After today's battle, he realized that his soul power was a major problem. Even though his martial soul was of extremely high quality and his soul power was much stronger than that of ordinary people, his level was too low, making it difficult for him to fight against Soul Kings.
Of course, this is his requirement for himself. If others heard him say this, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood on the spot.
In just over half a year, he has already leveled up fifteen times. This speed can only be described as terrifying!
Putting aside his abnormal physical strength, just considering his three martial souls, one is a spiritual attribute with a lifespan of one million years, and the other is an extreme ice attribute with a lifespan of four hundred thousand years.
There is also the growth-type Martial Soul Ancestral Stone. As his physical strength increases, the age of the soul rings transformed from the Ancestral Symbol has also increased to a level close to ten thousand years.
As Lin Dong adjusted his state, the soul ring formed from the Thunder Ancestral Symbol gently pulsed around his body. Upon closer inspection, the originally rich purple soul ring had been tinged with a faint black thread.
After about fifteen minutes, Lin Dong had adjusted his body to its optimal state. Feeling the abundant soul power within his body, he unconsciously grinned and returned to his cultivation state.
Offering Hall.
"Master Kong, we've really struck gold this time. Suddenly, I don't feel so bad about the Conferred God Platform and the traitor created with drugs anymore."
Seeing Jing Hongchen's pathetic state, Kong Deming frowned and looked at him with disdain:
"Look at you, so spineless. Tell me, what happened?"
Jing Hongchen patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief: "Elder Kong, do you remember Lin Dong that I told you about last time?"
"Hmm, you have a talent for soul tools and a pretty good soul skill. You've already mentioned all of this, so why are you so excited?"
Seeing the puzzled look on Elder Kong's face, Jing Hongchen, still keeping him in suspense, chuckled:
"That brat is really good at hiding things. Guess what he did today?"
Old Master Kong was getting impatient with him and glared at him:
"Have you developed another new soul tool?"
"He defeated a Soul King, and moreover, a regular member of the team participating in this competition!"
This short sentence left Kong Deming's expression momentarily frozen. After a long pause, he finally managed to stammer out:
"No way! What kind of soul tool did he use?"
Jing Hongchen smiled mysteriously and shook his head slightly: "None of them were useful."
Upon hearing this, Kong Deming exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible?! No matter how talented he is, he can't fight a level 50 player at level 25, let alone a regular team member."
"Master Kong, I also want to say it's impossible, but that's the truth!"
Kong Deming instantly became interested, looking at Jing Hongchen with anticipation and saying:
"Quick, tell me, how did he accomplish such a feat?"
Seeing his appearance, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but think to herself:
Mr. Kong, you say I'm useless, but your performance now isn't much better than mine.
He then cleared his throat lightly: "I didn't witness the actual battle, but I can only summarize it in one sentence: physical strength comparable to a level 50 Soul King, and his second Martial Soul is Ultimate Ice!"
Kong Deming's expectant face froze instantly. After a long while, he reacted and angrily said to Jing Hongchen, whose expression was mocking:
"What are you good for! Why didn't you tell me about something so important sooner?"
Jing Hongchen was taken aback at first, then smiled bitterly:
"Old Kong, how can you blame me? The soul tool he developed and his unique soul skill made me so excited that I lost my mind. I didn't care about anything else."
Kong Deming gave a soft "hmm," then suddenly said seriously:
"It's your fault for not discovering such a genius in time. How about this, why don't you send him to me?"
Jing Hongchen's expression changed, and he shook his head with a wry smile: "Elder Kong, are you trying to snatch him away?"
Despite his true intentions being exposed, Kong Deming remained unfazed and spoke solemnly:
"Such a talented person is under your supervision, and you still can't discover his full potential. Sending him to me will prevent his talent from being wasted, won't it?"
Jing Hongchen, unusually assertive, reluctantly replied:
"Old Master Kong, I have never mistreated him. I have given him the best of everything. You can ask him if you don't believe me. Besides, this little guy is very meticulous. It's not entirely my fault that he didn't notice."
Seeing that he dared to speak to him like that, Kong Deming realized that this Lin Dong's talent was somewhat beyond his imagination. He then softened his tone and said:
"Hongchen, let me be frank with you. This little guy has such monstrous physical strength, and he also has twin martial souls. He's a perfect match for me. You'll have to reluctantly part with him, hmm?"
Hearing the slight emphasis in his last word, Jing Hongchen knew there was no room for negotiation, and could only grit her teeth and sigh:
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.
"Sigh, I promised you, Master Kong, I would find time to bring him over, but he might refuse you."
Kong Deming smiled confidently. "Who am I? A level 94 Title Douluo with twin martial souls, the number one Soul Master of the Sun Moon Sect, the Hall Master of the Offering Hall, and possessing one-quarter royal blood. Who would refuse my teachings?"
He immediately said calmly, "You don't need to bring him here. I'll go find him directly with you."
"Sorry, I refuse."
Upon hearing Lin Dong's words, Kong Deming, who had just been all smiles, froze on the spot, pointing a finger at his nose and saying blankly, "Little guy, do you know who you're rejecting?"
Lin Dong's face revealed little emotion; he simply nodded faintly.
"You've already introduced yourself, and you don't seem to appeal to me much."
Kong Deming glared at Jing Hongchen with an unnatural expression:
"It seems you've been really good to him, managing to make him reject me for your sake."
Jing Hongchen sighed helplessly: "Alas, Lin Dong, to be honest, Elder Kong is indeed more experienced in the matter of twin martial souls. If you decide to follow him, I will not criticize you."
Looking at Lin Dong, who was deep in thought, these two were, one the leader of Mingde Hall, and the other the number one soul master of the empire.
They were just like students waiting for their teacher to announce their grades, anxiously anticipating his final decision.
Outside a quiet room in the college.
"Captain, the academy is probably about to undergo a major upheaval!"
Xiao Hongchen stretched and looked at the shouting Zhou Xinghao, saying calmly:
"With Grandpa around, the world of this academy can't be changed."
