Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Chapter 72 Sister Lingling, how about... Death Tyrannosaurus

Moonlight filters through the dense foliage of the sunset forest, falling onto the ground with a cool, clear glow.

A gentle breeze rustled through the treetops, carrying the dry scent unique to the sunset forest.

"Xiao Yao, thank you for your kind words, but I know my situation very well, it's not that simple."

Ye Lengleng sat down next to Lin Yao and gently shook her head when she heard his words, which carried a hint of encouragement.

"On the surface, whichever faction I join, I will gain an important position because of my Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, but it's not what I expected."

She paused, looked up at Dugu Yan who was dozing in the tent not far away, and said with a touch of wistful reminiscence, "But in reality, because of the power and special nature of my martial spirit, I don't have many targets to choose from."

A weaker force can't even protect itself, so how can it possibly withstand the covetous gaze of the outside world?

I am confident in my martial spirit; it absolutely deserves the reputation of being the number one healing martial spirit on the continent.

However, lacking the ability to protect myself, if I make the wrong choice, and the older generation grows old, my fate is predictable.

This is the Douluo Continent, a place where the strong prey on the weak, a Douluo Continent where human trafficking is blatant; no matter how outrageous the outcome, it wouldn't be an exaggeration.

As she spoke, Ye Lingling gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Therefore, the targets I can choose must at least be forces with Contra-level powerhouses, but such forces are too complicated."

"For example, Yu Tianheng of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, not long after joining the academy, specifically sought me out and invited me to join their sect, but I politely declined."

"Yu Tianheng is known for his gentle nature within their sect."

Even so, when you're with him, you can still feel that arrogance that comes from the bone.

That's the sense of superiority ingrained in the bloodline of a top-tier beast spirit inheritor.

Ye Lingleng recalled the disdainful looks she received from the disciples when she attended the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's celebration with her mother and interacted with them.

"As for the other members of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan who possess the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Spirit, they are far from friendly to those who do not have the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Spirit."

Even if you join a sect, you'll still be an outsider and find it difficult to truly integrate.

Lin Yao noticed the fleeting sadness in her eyes and was about to say something when Ye Lengleng sighed softly, looking at the fire in front of her, her tone full of helplessness: "Even with someone I know, Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, I still feel so uncomfortable, let alone other unfamiliar forces."

Although I have a fairly high level of soul power, the Nine Heart Begonia is ultimately a pure healing martial soul with few means of self-defense.

If one gets caught up in a power struggle, it will be extremely difficult to protect oneself in the chaos.

At this point, her eyes suddenly softened, a faint, wistful smile appeared on her lips, and her voice became softer: "So, rather than joining a certain power and living at the mercy of others, I would rather follow my heart and find someone I can truly rely on."

As she said this, Ye Lengleng couldn't help but add a sentence in her mind.

This reassuring support should ideally be like a father—gentle and considerate, someone who met and fell in love with my mother in my youth, and who successfully became a Contra, protecting my mother and allowing me to grow up smoothly.

As for Lin Yao, although he was unaware of the thoughts that flashed through Ye Lengleng's mind, he was moved when he heard her heartfelt words earlier.

Without much hesitation, she smiled and said with a serious tone, "Sister Leng Ling, is this your idea? What do you think of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

The power structure within the sect is not complicated. The sect's internal affairs are decided by Uncle Ning, Master, and Grandpa Bone Douluo, and there is not much infighting or backstabbing.

Furthermore, even if things change in the future, by then I will have grown up, and I'm confident that no one can harm you with my protection. That means I can offer you some support.

Lin Yao's words revealed his true feelings, and also showed that he had his eye on the Nine-Heart Begonia's top-notch healing abilities.

If Ye Lengleng could join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, her combined strength with Ning Rongrong would surely make them the strongest support duo.

And I will be the biggest beneficiary.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lengling was taken aback at first, then her gaze softened, and she reached out and gently tapped Lin Yao's forehead with her fingertips.

Her movements were intimate and natural, and her previously somewhat aloof face blossomed with sweetness, like a blooming epiphyllum: "Xiao Yao, you're still so young, yet you dare to say such big things?"

She withdrew her hand, her fingertips still warm from touching Lin Yao's forehead, and her tone carried a hint of practical consideration.

"However, even if we do it the way you said, we also need to consider the reality."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is such a large sect that all its direct descendants possess the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and it has no shortage of powerful support-type Soul Masters.

Someone like me, even if I joined your sect, would probably be no different from a mere ornament, not as good as you describe.

In fact, after Ye Lengleng became sensible, she joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in order to start looking for a target.

Building a network of relationships starts small.

During this time, I did consider the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

After all, that was a top-tier support sect on the continent, with two titled Douluo, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, in charge, making it far stronger than his own Nine Heart Begonia inheritance.

Entering it not only provides shelter but may also allow one to learn its core technologies. Why are support-type Soul Masters, who lack the ability to protect themselves, able to take the initiative in controlling the forces?

However, I didn't know anyone there before.

Hearing Lin Yao's words, Ye Lengleng was both moved and somewhat anxious.

When reality doesn't match your expectations, the disillusionment will be even more painful.

"Sister Leng Ling, you're belittling yourself too much."

Lin Yao quickly shook his head, recalling the powerful healing abilities Ye Lengleng had demonstrated in the original work.

In that battle in Soto City, someone's face turned red and he was panting heavily. When the difference in soul power was not significant, if it were an ordinary team, they would have been seriously injured and would have been on the verge of death.

But all of this was no problem for the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul. It easily pulled them back and immediately launched a ranged healing attack to protect the entire team.

"If you were willing to come to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Uncle Ning would probably be so excited that he couldn't sleep."

Although you and the Soul Masters of the sect who possess the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda are both support-type Soul Masters, they are not the same when you look into the details.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is an amplification type that can maximize the combat power of teammates.

Your Nine-Heart Begonia possesses an even more terrifying healing power, capable of enhancing your teammates' survivability on the battlefield.

He looked into Ye Lengling's eyes and said, word by word, "This kind of top-level healing power, with enough resources to nurture it, once it grows into a Title Douluo, will be a strategic-level power that is rare on the continent, and it is not comparable to ordinary support."

Also, Sister Leng Leng, perhaps during your rapid growth, you'll have more time to explore the secrets of your martial soul.

Ye Lengling lowered her eyes in thought, listening to Lin Yao's analysis and approval, which felt like a warm current quietly flowing into her heart.

She recalled the current power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi's skillful maneuvering, the unfathomable depths of Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, and the master-disciple relationship between Lin Yao and Sword Douluo.

If I really go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, with Lin Yao's promise, I will definitely not be ostracized and will be able to get enough training resources.

But then she thought about it again and couldn't help but hesitate.

Lin Yao and he were ultimately just teammates. The road ahead was long and full of unknowns.

What if Lin Yao changes his mind one day, or something goes wrong in the sect? What should I do then?!

When it comes to her future, even though Ye Lengleng is usually clear-headed and calm, she can't help but feel anxious and uncertain, her eyes filled with conflict.

Lin Yao could clearly see the excitement and hesitation in her eyes, and knew that he couldn't just wait for her to slowly consider it.

Long nights bring many dreams.

Besides, he already had feelings for Ye Lengleng, so he might as well take this opportunity to reveal his feelings in a joke.

He cleared his throat, deliberately softened his tone, and said cautiously, "Sister Leng Leng, what do you think of me? Why don't you try to get to know me again, not in the way an older sister treats a younger brother?"

"ah----"

Ye Lingling suddenly looked up, somewhat puzzled. She only uttered a questioning sound and before she could say anything else, she heard Lin Yao continue, "By then, when I have grown up and you have observed me enough, if you can develop a sufficient feeling for each other after spending time together day and night, perhaps our relationship can take another step forward."

With this connection, who would dare bully the sweetheart of a future powerful Title Douluo?

Lin Yao's words were half true and half false, but the seriousness in his eyes was unmistakable.

Ye Lengleng is beautiful and gentle, possesses a top-tier martial spirit, and has a personality that suits his taste. He truly doesn't mind becoming this older sister's warm harbor.

Moreover, he had already planned it out in his mind: when the time came, he would hold the Star Sword, reveal his Star Body, with the strongest amplification Ning Rongrong and the strongest healer Ye Lengleng standing behind him.

With this lineup, I might be able to easily defeat even a Title Douluo-level powerhouse when I break through to the Soul Saint realm.

Ye Lengleng's cheeks flushed instantly at his blunt words, like the sunset on the horizon, and even her ears turned pink.

She was both embarrassed and angry, and couldn't help but reach out her slender, jade-like hand to gently pinch Lin Yao's arm, her voice tinged with coquettish reproach: "You, at such a young age, how can you be so frivolous—"

Lin Yao didn't feel much pain, but he felt somewhat helpless.

Whether it's Dugu Yan or Ye Lengleng in front of me, these older sisters all seem to like pinching people. Where did they learn that trick from?

After pinching Lin Yao, Ye Lengleng realized that she had made such an intimate gesture. Her fingers froze in mid-air, and her cheeks flushed even more.

In fact, ever since I met Lin Yao, especially after seeing his extraordinary talent and strength that far surpasses that of his peers, I have been very impressed.

As a support-type Soul Master with little self-defense ability, Ye Lengleng unconsciously included him in her considerations for a future partner.

However, the two were several years apart in age, and when they were in the academy, Lin Yao often doted on Ning Rongrong, making them seem like childhood sweethearts.

That thought faded away.

Now that Lin Yao had suddenly said these words, Ye Ling felt both ashamed and angry, and couldn't help but spit inwardly.

I wonder which old rogue secretly corrupted Xiao Yao behind Sword Douluo's back? Aren't they afraid of Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword?!

Even so, the atmosphere between the two subtly changed. They were no longer just teammates or siblings; there was now a hint of ambiguous warmth that was hard to define.

Just then, a "rustling" sound came from the nearby woods, breaking the silence between the two.

Lin Yao immediately stood up, reacted quickly, grabbed Ye Lengleng's hand, and pulled her up with him.

Immediately afterwards, he took the opportunity to put his arm around her slender waist and quickly brought Ye Lengleng to Dugu Yan's tent.

After gently releasing her grip, she immediately used her soul power to gently push the feigning-sleeping Dugu Yan, while simultaneously protecting Ye Lengling and Dugu Yan behind her. Her eyes instantly sharpened: "Something's not right. It seems like someone's watching us. Sister Lengling, Sister Yan, be careful."

Dugu Yan was still a little dazed when she was awakened. She rubbed her eyes, but when she heard Lin Yao's serious tone, she immediately came to her senses.

His soul power surged instantly, and the Azure Scaled Flood Dragon Martial Soul appeared out of thin air. Soul power swirled around his body as he prepared for battle, his tone full of vigilance: "Is it a soul beast or a soul master?"

Ye Lengleng finally snapped out of the ambiguous atmosphere from before. Recalling the warmth of Lin Yao's embrace around her waist and the way he was protecting her behind him now, a blush flashed across her face again, but her eyes shone with a strange light.

This seemingly young boy always puts people at ease in crucial moments.

"Sister Yan Yan, it's a soul beast."

Lin Yao stared intently in the direction from which the sound came, and said softly, "As expected of Sunset Forest, we've only ventured a little deeper, and already there are soul beasts that can ignore our preparations and target us."

Moreover, I could sense a faint, almost imperceptible danger emanating from that murderous aura; it was quite interesting.

As he spoke, Lin Yao, with the mindset of "even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit," instantly caused his mental sea to surge.

His powerful spiritual energy spread out like a tide, and a golden light gradually flashed in his eyes.

Driven by his mental power, the fiery eye between his brows suddenly opened, its vertical pupil gleaming with a faint flame-like glow.

Even though it was nighttime with only a few scattered moonlight, everything in the forest ahead became crystal clear under the gaze of the Fire Eyes.

Ye Lengleng, who kept her eyes fixed on Lin Yao, noticed his change immediately. In particular, when she saw the fiery eyes that had opened between his brows, her pupils contracted sharply, and she was filled with shock: "This is—a soul bone? And it's in the space between his brows, not in one of the six usual locations: the head, torso, or limbs."

Could this be the external soul bone I once saw in those miscellaneous books, the one that only existed in legends?!

She knew beforehand that Lin Yao was no ordinary person.

With the cultivation level of a Soul Master, one can easily produce immortal herbs that enhance one's martial soul and increase one's soul power.

But little did we know, this was just the tip of the iceberg.

With such talent and opportunity, Lin Yao's foundation was far deeper than he had imagined.

No wonder this kid dares to "eat what's in his bowl while eyeing what's in the pot," treating Rongrong well on one hand while saying such things to himself on the other. What a scoundrel.

But then she thought about it again. Although Lin Yao was young, he had a sense of responsibility far beyond his peers. He always stood up to protect others in critical moments. This kind of personality made her unable to help but approve of him.

As she pondered, Ye Lengleng's thoughts drifted away again:

If Xiao Yao still remembers his older sister when he grows up, should I obey or not?

Fortunately, Lin Yao and Dugu Yan were focused on potential enemies as she was distracted.

Otherwise, one would definitely be able to detect the complex emotions in her eyes.

Lin Yao stared intently for a moment, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. He then turned to Dugu Yan beside him and said with a smile, "Sister Yan Yan, I feel like we don't need to waste any more time looking for soul beasts. A perfect target for you seems to have delivered itself to our doorstep."

"what?"

Dugu Yan paused for a moment, then looked at Lin Yao with some confusion.

"What kind of spirit beast would be a suitable target for me?"

Lin Yao didn't keep them in suspense and simply replied, "It's a dragon-type soul beast that's eyeing us, and its bloodline is quite strong."

Just then, the dark figure seemed to realize that Lin Yao had discovered them, so it stopped hiding and a fierce aura instantly swept over.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful sandstorm suddenly arose and blew towards Lin Yao and the others, clearly intended to obscure Lin Yao's vision and launch an attack.

"As expected of a high-age dragon-type soul beast with considerable bloodline power, it's quite interesting."

Lin Yao's mental strength and the vision of his fiery eyes were completely unaffected by the wind and sand, and he kept his eyes fixed on the target that came into view.

Just now, when they clearly sensed something was wrong, it seemed that two soul beasts were watching them.

But now, under the watchful gaze of the fiery eyes, only one remained.

However, seeing the fresh blood dripping from the mouth of this dragon-like soul beast, Lin Yao guessed that the other soul beast must have been eaten by this guy.

Moreover, this guy wasn't satisfied after eating that soul beast.

It seemed that it sensed that it, Ye Lengleng, and Dugu Yan had all eaten the immortal herb, and that they all possessed extremely vigorous vitality.

Even when they're full, they're unwilling to let go of such "delicious" prey.

"This guy's so arrogant, does he really think he can take me down?!"

Lin Yao summoned the Star Sword, his soul power fluctuating rapidly as he unleashed a sword aura condensed from his soul power.

The sword energy slashed forward at an extremely fast speed, colliding with the body of the Death Tyrannosaurus Rex and producing a loud bang.

The Death Tyrannosaurus, which had been running forward rapidly, was sent flying several steps backward before coming to a stop.

Unexpectedly, the prey it had set its sights on did not obediently accept its death, but instead tried to resist. The Death Tyrannosaurus let out a roar.

His voice was filled with rage.

However, it did not launch an attack out of irrationality, but instead began to observe.

"This guy has good bloodline. With a lifespan of about seven thousand years, he was able to block my attack so easily without getting injured."

Looking at the Death Tyrannosaurus, whose body was as robust as a Tyrannosaurus Rex, whose scales were deep black and had a deathly luster, and whose body was surrounded by a faint aura of death, Lin Yao, who had already confirmed its age, silently thought to himself.

"I never expected to be so lucky to encounter such a target on our very first night in Sunset Forest, saving us the trouble of searching everywhere."

As for Dugu Yan, her eyes lit up instantly when she heard the words "Death Tyrannosaurus" and its age of about seven thousand years.

Her Azure Flood Dragon Martial Soul is inherently biased towards poison and strong attacks, while the Death Tyrannosaurus has both the top-tier power of a Tyrannosaurus Rex and the attribute of death.

If one can absorb its spirit ring, not only will it make up for the lack of explosive power in direct combat, but it will also allow the Azure Phosphorous Poison to fuse with the Death attribute, which will definitely greatly enhance one's strength.

The Death Tyrannosaurus was observing them, and Ye Lengling was also observing the Death Tyrannosaurus. She immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "This Death Tyrannosaurus possesses the formidable strength of a Tyrannosaurus Rex and the attribute of death, which is indeed extremely compatible with Yan Yan's Azure Flood Dragon Martial Soul."

Absorbing its spirit ring will greatly enhance Yan Yan's martial spirit.
