Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Chapter 22 Seven Kill Sword Technique, Level 18

The school bus was filled with various smells, along with the nauseating, pungent odor of rotting zombies wafting in from outside.

Sunlight streamed through the stained car windows, casting dappled shadows on the floor, which swayed slightly with the bumps of the school bus.

When there are many people on the school bus, it gets noisy.

Komuro Takashi, who had insisted on letting Fujiwara Koichi and the others get on the bus, was now sweating slightly, as if he vaguely realized that he had done something very stupid.

Lin Yao, sitting next to Busujima Yako, was completely oblivious to the performance of Fujiwara Koichi and the others, and instead seemed to be enjoying it.

It could be said that among those who initially disagreed with Koichi Fujito and the others getting on the bus, Rei Miyamoto was the one who was more willing.

However, what she disliked most was Koichi Fujito himself.

As for the others, they remained silent.

However, sometimes silence is taken as agreement.

When a small team has not yet gained an advantage, so many people have infiltrated, so noise is inevitable. It's good that there's some noise, so that Komuro Takashi and the others will learn a lesson.

As Lin Yao thought this, he lowered his eyes and stared at his hands.

Bloodstains from gripping the Long Rainbow Sword and fighting for a long time still remained on his knuckles.

As Lin Yao leaned back in his seat, he could clearly hear his own slightly heavy breathing, with each inhale accompanied by a slight rise and fall of his chest.

The prolonged fighting had left them somewhat exhausted and hungry, and they urgently needed to replenish their energy in order to cope with any possible battles that might break out at any moment.

Lin Yao gently clenched his fist and felt a surge of blood energy circulating within him, easing the slight stinging sensation. He silently reviewed the battle that had just taken place.

However, the feeling of power emanating from my fingertips was even clearer than before.

Lin Yao slowly raised his eyes, his gaze bright.

Although his physical strength and the energy surging within him had declined, his overall strength had indeed taken a step forward.

Having fought my way through this battle, my understanding of combat has become much deeper. At the same time, I realize it's not as complex as I've imagined; the simpler, the better.

If I were to face my former self now, I would draw my sword, concentrate, and exert all my strength. Within three moves, I would surely find a weakness and kill him with a single strike at the lowest cost.

Even so, Lin Yao only felt a slight joy at the improvement in his strength.

Then, thinking of the massive number of zombies and the modern firearms that are extremely destructive to the human body, a sense of powerlessness quietly crept into his heart.

Our current strength is still insufficient, far from sufficient.

With his current skills and sword-wielding speed, he is still far from being truly extraordinary. His overall strength is no match for a whistling bullet.

resignedly.

"When will I be able to reconnect with myself across all the worlds?"

"Even without any powerful figures, my Douluo world self happened to activate the star cluster connection when my martial soul awakened, which improved both my physical strength and mental power."

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, with innate soul power reaching a decent level, he should be able to quickly reach the bottleneck and obtain a soul ring.

This is another boost to our strength. If we can connect, we'll have a much better chance of handling what comes next.

Lin Yao sat in the back of the swaying school bus, sighing inwardly.

Close your eyes and focus your attention on the slowly rotating star cluster in your mind.

The twinkling starlight, like fireflies slowly gathering, seemed to be accumulating some kind of power, yet remained motionless for a long time.

How much longer do we have to wait?

Lin Yao's current strength is too weak. If he encounters modified bio-weapons such as Lickers, Trackers, and Tyrants, or organized teams armed with guns, he will have no ability to resist.

This feeling of being like a lamb to the slaughter filled Lin Yao with unease.

"well?!"

Just as Lin Yao was planning his future and his brows furrowed slightly, a gasp suddenly came from the front of the carriage.

When Lin Yao opened his eyes, he found that what happened next was almost exactly the same as he remembered.

Takashi Komuro, who harbors the "saintly heart" of peacetime, is betrayed by the very person he kindly saved.

After boarding the school bus, Koichi Fujito first subtly scanned the people in the carriage, his gaze lingering on each person's face for a moment before finally settling on Takashi Komuro, who was the easiest target to approach.

Then he gestured with his eyes to the blond guy next to him.

The blond-haired man immediately understood and, with his neck stiffened, launched an attack on Komuro Takashi, cursing and swearing, and finally even threw a punch.

However, unlike in the original story where Tokujima Yako passively followed and silently walked off the school bus with the others, Lin Yao had no patience to listen to the nonsense of Fujito Koichi and his group.

Just as the blond-haired man's fist was about to land on Komuro Takashi's face, he stood up almost instantly, his movements so fast that only a blur remained.

A flash of cold light appeared, and with a "whoosh," the sword flashed swiftly and decisively.

"ah--!"

A piercing scream suddenly echoed throughout the carriage.

"The one who fought was blond. Why did I get slashed? This guy who's been silent since I got on the bus is really a madman."

Koichi Fujito clutched his empty right arm, his face turning deathly pale in an instant, cold sweat trickling down his forehead, his mind filled with only one thought.

Blood gushed from the severed arm, splattering onto the dusty floor and pooling into a small, glaring red stain. The intense stench of blood instantly overwhelmed any other smells in the carriage.

Those who had initially joined in the commotion suddenly fell silent, as if someone had grabbed their throats. They stared wide-eyed at Lin Yao in terror, their feet instinctively shrinking back.

As for the blond-haired man who was watching this scene, he couldn't care less about fighting with Komuro Takashi and looked at Lin Yao with a look of fear.

Lin Yao sheathed his sword with fluid movements, glanced at the group of guys, and then looked at Fujiwara Koichi, who was curled up on the ground in pain and eventually passed out. A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

If I hadn't wanted to see if this crippled beast in human clothing could still create a half-baked cult by inciting primal desires like in the original timeline, that sword strike wouldn't have severed his arm; it would have slit his throat directly.

Then, Lin Yao took a rag and wiped the Changhong Sword in his hand. He looked up at the group of terrified people and said in a deep voice, "Get out of here."

Those people were terrified when they saw the pained and contorted face of Zifeng Haoyi before he lost consciousness, and then looked at the bloodstains on Lin Yao's body that had not yet dried.

Upon hearing this, they scrambled to their feet, dragging the unconscious Fujiwara Koichi away, and jostled to get off the bus.

On Lin Yao's side, this decisive action not only did not create any rift among his companions, but also earned him more recognition and reassurance from many.

Especially Miyamoto Rei, who was not afraid of this bloody scene, but rather felt a sense of pleasure.

As for Tokishima Yako's decisive action against humans who had not yet turned into zombies, a dazzling glint flashed in her purple eyes.

As for Takashi Komuro, after experiencing the shock of his "saintly heart" being severely shattered, he remained seated with his head down, refusing to raise his head or utter any so-called saintly words, no matter how loud the noise.

The school bus started up again, the roar of the engine drowning out the silence inside the carriage. Only the thick smoke rushing past the window silently told the story of the world's dramatic changes.

Lin Yao in the Douluo world naturally had no idea that Lin Yao in the Academy world was thinking of him and eagerly awaiting him, a one-ring Soul Master, to take him on a journey.

-

However, in reality, if the connection could be re-established, Lin Yao's strength in the academy world would indeed experience a leap forward.

After all, Lin Yao's first spirit ring in the Douluo Continent was a thousand-year spirit ring.

Over the past month, Lin Yao has been cultivating step by step, quietly consolidating his soul power and strengthening his foundation. His soul power has already broken through to level eighteen.

If this increase in strength were in the academy world, wouldn't it cause Lin Yao's strength to advance by leaps and bounds there?

When the soul power is transformed into blood energy, the strengthening effect on the body will be very significant, and the student Yuan Yao's qualities in all aspects will be improved.

In this way, the threat posed by modern firearms to him is naturally further reduced.

Getting back to the main point, Lin Yao has spent two and a half months in the Douluo World since he awakened his martial soul at the age of six.

During this period, he was immersed in cultivation almost every moment and never slacked off in the slightest.

Lin Yao was extremely strict with himself, and with the careful guidance of Sword Douluo Chen Xin, he was able to achieve great things.

Therefore, he was extremely meticulous in honing his combat skills and soul power foundation, and had no desire for quick success or instant benefits.

At the first level of Soul Master, advancing one level in a little over a month is neither fast nor slow.

However, having witnessed the terrifying speed at which geniuses rose to prominence in the Peerless Era ten thousand years later and the Dragon King Era twenty thousand years later, Lin Yao was inevitably influenced.

Take Huo Yuhao, the chosen one of the Douluo Continent ten thousand years later, for example. His first spirit ring was a million-year one, which is simply heaven-defying.

Twenty thousand years later, the Underworld Emperor, created by Tang Hao's possession of another's body, was ridiculously strong.

He broke through to become a Title Douluo at the age of nineteen, and advanced to Super Douluo at the age of twenty-five, with the title "Pluto".

Among these prodigies, only Yun Ming, who relied solely on his own talent to fight, could rival them.

Yun Ming advanced to the title of Douluo at the age of 23, reached the level of Super Douluo at 26, became the Limit Douluo at 31, and reached the level of Quasi-God at 35. He even wanted to explore creating his own godhood, making him a true legend.

Compared to these outstanding descendants, Tang San from Douyi is really nothing special.

At the same time, Lin Yao's expectations were raised by these newcomers, so his demands on himself naturally increased as well.

He didn't expect to be stronger than these guys; he just hoped to be able to hold his own against those of the same level.

Then, step by step, you will cultivate steadily and surely towards the peak.

In Lin Yao's mind, taking Tang San, who wasted time forging iron in the early stages and was subjected to various "human experiments" by Yu Xiaogang, as an opponent was simply lowering his status and showing a lack of ambition.

Lin Yao remained calm and methodically strengthened his foundation, finding swordsmanship training less "exciting" than increasing his soul power.

They put in a lot of hard work in those areas.

Chen Xin greatly admired this persistence and perseverance.

Not long ago, their relationship progressed further, and Lin Yao had almost become Chen Xin's last disciple, truly sharing both glory and loss.

Chen Xin also taught the Seven Kill Sword Technique to Chen Xin in its entirety.

This Seven Kill Sword Technique is no simple matter. Those who don't understand it might think it's a summary of the sword techniques of the super Douluo Chen Xin, but that's not the case.

It is an exquisite combination of basic and advanced sword techniques, continuously refined by the geniuses of the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul passed down through generations of the Chen family, where Jian Daochenxin resides.

Among them, Chen Xin's father, Chen Jianjun, whose strength reached the peak of level 98 Douluo, made particularly outstanding contributions to the Seven Kill Sword Technique.

Chen Jianjun was able to withstand the attack of Qian Daoliu, who possessed divine power bestowed by the Angel God, with his level 98 soul power. His talent and strength amazed the world.

The only one who could rival him in that era was Tang Chen, who had already inherited the Asura God's legacy. If the Rakshasa God hadn't messed with him, he would have become the second-generation Asura God.

With such a powerful figure supplementing the Seven Kill Sword Technique, the value of this sword technique is self-evident.

Although Lin Yao did not have a matching Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul, and it would take some effort to master it, for him, the value of this sword technique far exceeded that of a 100,000-year soul ring.

After all, the potential for development of such a profound sword technique far surpasses that of a 100,000-year soul ring.

Chen Xin imparted his knowledge without reservation, which deeply moved Lin Yao.

With Lin Yao's current strength and soul power, he can only learn some basic sword moves from the Seven Kill Sword Technique at most, but even so, his offensive and killing abilities have been greatly improved.

Moreover, in the process of learning the Seven Kill Sword Technique, Lin Yao drew inferences from other cases and gained a deeper understanding and exploration of his first soul skill, Ink Star Sword Shadow.

It is used with more skill and expertise, and the soul power consumed is also reduced significantly.

That day, Lin Yao finished the first half of refining his swordsmanship and soul power in the training ground. He turned around and saw Ning Rongrong sitting on the steps, her hands supporting her cheeks, lost in thought.

Seemingly noticing Lin Yao's gaze, Ning Rongrong snapped out of her daze, immediately stood up, and quickly walked towards him.

"Lin Yaoda————"

"Um?"

"Brother Lin Yao, you've finally finished your cultivation! I've been waiting for you here for so long. You were so engrossed in your cultivation that you didn't even acknowledge me."

Ning Rongrong now truly trusts Lin Yao from the bottom of her heart, though she still occasionally acts playfully in how she addresses him.

Lin Yao was happy to cooperate with her, and the two of them went back and forth, their friendship growing stronger.

With Lin Yao, Ning Rongrong gained the friendship of peers that was missing in the original work, and her personality was no longer awkward.

After all, in the original story, she was surrounded by flattery and fake smiles. As a little girl who lost her mother at a young age, she was sensitive and could clearly perceive those falsehoods.

But now it's different. With Lin Yao, a peer, caring for and protecting her, Lin Yao can take care of many things that the older generation is reluctant to do.

Furthermore, with Lin Yao as her role model, even though Ning Rongrong didn't particularly enjoy cultivation, she would always complete any task assigned by Lin Yao honestly and would never try to cheat or shirk her duties.

In just over a month, under the protection of the Zhou Tian Star Array set up by Lin Yao, Ning Rongrong's soul power has made significant progress from level thirteen, and she is not far from level fourteen.

Compared to the original work, by the standards of a support-type Soul Master, Ning Rongrong now easily crushes those "small fry" in terms of Soul Power and cultivation speed, which is quite remarkable.

At this rate, when Ning Rongrong grows up to be eleven or twelve years old, her soul power will definitely be more than level twenty-six, and she may even be able to touch the threshold of Soul Master.

Moreover, under the nourishment of the Zhou Tian Star Array, the power of the stars slowly seeped into her body, and while cultivating her soul power, her physical strength was also enhanced.

Now, nourished by both soul power and star power, Ning Rongrong is no longer the shy support-type soul master she once was. She can easily defeat a weapon-type soul master of the same level with a single punch.

"Rongrong, if I don't cultivate diligently, how will I protect my dear little sister in the future?"

Lin Yao reached out and gently patted Ning Rongrong's head, then smiled and asked in return.

These simple and sincere words made Ning Rongrong blush instantly, her eyes filled with joy.

"Actually, they don't need protection. I'm very talented too. If we join forces, we'll definitely be invincible in the future. Then we'll defeat all the big bad guys who want to bully us."

"it is good."

Lin Yao nodded in agreement.

"Let's defeat those big bad guys who want to hurt Rongrong together!"
