Douluo Continent: A Hundred Ghosts Parade, I Am the Lord of the Underworld

"boom!"

The moment his fingertips touched the stone tablet, a vast and boundless torrent of information rushed into his mind along his arm!

The Book of Immortality in the Underworld

Four ancient characters appeared in his spiritual world, and then the entire cultivation method was directly imprinted deep in his soul.

Standing in the Yellow Springs, one draws the deathly aura into the body.

Using the deathly energy of the Yellow Springs as a furnace to reshape meridians and bones, this process is akin to being slowly sliced ​​to death, and cannot be endured by anyone but those with great willpower.

Upon mastering the technique, the wounds will no longer gush with blood, but with pure death energy. As long as the death energy and soul power remain, severed limbs can regenerate, making one virtually immortal!

Lin Yu froze, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his throat.

What... what kind of divine technique is this!

Limb regeneration? This is something unthinkable in the Douluo Continent!

"We've struck it rich! This time we've really struck it rich!"

Lin Yu's breathing became rapid, and an uncontrollable look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

Unable to contain his excitement any longer, he sat down cross-legged on the cold bluestone pavement without hesitation, his palms facing upwards.

"Fortune favors the bold; the daring thrive, the timid starve! Today I'll see what it feels like to be torn to pieces!"

Lin Yu closed his eyes and carefully guided the surrounding gray mist according to the opening method of the "Undying Scripture of the Underworld".

A chilling, deathly aura was slowly inhaled into his body.

"hiss--"

Even from just a sliver of cold air, Lin Yu couldn't help but gasp, his whole body trembling violently.

That feeling is something that words simply cannot describe.

If normal soul power is like a gentle stream, then this deathly aura of the Yellow Springs is like sulfuric acid mixed with countless shards of glass! The moment it surges into the meridians, it brings not nourishment, but the most extreme destruction and corrosion!

pain!

It hurts so much!

An indescribable, excruciating pain emanated from every part of his body, as if millions of ants were gnawing at his bone marrow and countless blunt knives were repeatedly cutting his meridians.

Lin Yu's body convulsed uncontrollably, veins bulged on his forehead, and large beads of cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes.

But he gritted his teeth and remained silent.

He knew very well that this was the first and most crucial step in his transformation. If he could overcome it, the future would be bright; if he couldn't, it would be utter ruin!

"Damn, let's go for it!"

He steeled his resolve, no longer hesitant, and instead intensified his absorption of death energy.

"Buzz!"

More gray mist was drawn to him, forming a small vortex that surged wildly into his body.

"Ugh..."

Even with Lin Yu's composure from two lifetimes, he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, barely suppressed.

His body was curled up in a ball, and under the torment of excruciating pain, his consciousness began to blur.

Just when he was about to give up, the stone tablet beside him emitted a gentle ripple, protecting his heart.

A cool sensation came over him, bringing a sliver of clarity back to Lin Yu's muddled consciousness.

He immediately seized this precious opportunity, exerting all his strength to circulate his cultivation technique, guiding the violent death energy to wash over and temper his body again and again.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yu opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

The aura was grayish-black, and when it landed on the bluestone slab in front of it, it made a soft "sizzling" sound and corroded a small pit.

"We finally made it through."

Lin Yu stretched his somewhat stiff body and looked down. He saw a layer of sticky black impurities seeping from the surface of his skin, emitting a faint fishy odor.

The inhuman pain of last night has vanished, replaced by an unprecedented lightness and strength.

He could clearly feel that his meridians were several times stronger than before, his bones were more compact, and he was full of power in every movement.

With a thought, he mobilized the soul power within his body.

"Um?"

Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Level 15?"

Although he had only practiced the "Undying Scripture of the Yellow Springs" for one night and had only just begun to learn it, not even having completed the first step of the Death Qi Foundation Building, his soul power level had increased by one level.

He had previously absorbed a spirit ring of a higher level, which brought him to level fourteen. He thought it would take another month or two to level up, but he didn't expect to achieve it in just one night.

This cultivation speed is simply astonishing!

"Is this the cultivation technique? It's terrifying!" Lin Yu was both surprised and delighted. "This is just the effect of cultivating on the road to the underworld. If the River of Oblivion and the Bridge of Helplessness are unsealed later, won't we be able to take off like rockets?"

The desire to become stronger burned like a raging fire in his heart.

However, he quickly calmed down.

"Today is the first day of school at the Spirit Hall Junior Academy. I should go and register first, but I shouldn't act too strangely."

He muttered to himself, and with a thought, he exited the Gates of Hell space.

Back in his room, Lin Yu quickly took a shower, changed into a clean set of Spirit Hall uniform, and then went out.

However, he stopped in his tracks as soon as he stepped out the door.

There stood three people, looking quite elegant, at the entrance of his villa.

Leading the group was Hu Liena, who was dressed in a smart student outfit today, which made her figure look even more graceful, and her fox-like eyes were full of smiles.

Beside her was Yan, who had just been rubbed by Lin Yu yesterday. He was now sporting dark circles under his eyes and glaring at him with a displeased expression.

On the other side, Xie Yue, with short silver hair, scrutinized Lin Yu with her sharp eyes: This guy's aura seems to have gotten stronger?

The golden generation is all here.

"Good morning, junior brother!" Hu Liena waved enthusiastically as soon as she saw Lin Yu come out. "We've come to find you to go to school together!"

"Damn it, just what I feared has come to pass," Lin Yu lamented inwardly.

Why are these three guys so persistent?

He remained expressionless, wearing a polite smile: "Good morning, senior sister and senior brothers. Thank you for making this special trip."

"No trouble at all!" Hu Liena said with a smile, "Let's go, we'll be late if we don't go now."

Lin Yu nodded.

The four of them walked towards the teaching area.

Spirit Hall Junior Academy, Elite Class.

As soon as Lin Yu stepped into the classroom, he felt as if he had walked into the venue of a luxury brand launch event.

There weren't many students in the classroom, only about twenty, but they were all dressed in fine clothes, and their air of pampered nobility could be smelled from a distance.

They gathered in small groups, talking loudly and arrogantly.

"Alright, so it's a class for the children of the powerful and wealthy." Lin Yu understood instantly.

It's no wonder that Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, three geniuses from commoner backgrounds, would stick together; in this environment, they are the odd ones out.

As the four entered, the classroom fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes turned to them.

When they saw a strange young man standing next to Hu Liena, many of the male trainees showed hostility on their faces.

"Who is that kid? Why are they so close to Nana?"

"I don't know, is he new? He does look quite presentable."

"Hmph, who cares who he is? Anyone who dares to lay a finger on Nana will regret it!"

Whispers continued to rise.

Lin Yu ignored these sour comments. He was now the Pope's personal disciple, and his status was what it was. As long as he didn't cause trouble, these kids wouldn't dare to do anything to him.

Hu Liena had obviously heard the whispers. She glanced around and sneered, "This is my teacher's new disciple, my junior brother Lin Yu! From now on, anyone who dares to bully him is going against me, Hu Liena!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Has His Holiness the Pope taken on another disciple?

Those students who were initially hostile were instantly replaced by surprise, suspicion, and fear.

Lin Yu's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

Is that realistic?

I thought I'd get to experience the thrill of showing off and getting slapped in the face!

Without saying much, Lin Yu found a corner seat by the window and sat down, while Hu Liena and the other two sat next to him.

Just then, a middle-aged male teacher walked in carrying a stack of books.

His gaze paused slightly when it swept over Lin Yu. This child was the Pope's disciple; he might not be easy to manage.

The course started quickly, and the teacher stood on the podium, lecturing on theoretical knowledge that was so tedious it made people sleepy.

Lin Yu rested his chin on one hand, gazing listlessly out the window.

His thoughts had already drifted far away.

"To better cultivate the 'Undying Yellow Springs Scripture,' one needs a strong physique. Whale glue is a good thing for improving physical fitness, but I don't have the money!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yu's face fell. Even a hero can be brought down by a penny.

He had considered taking advantage of the situation, but having just joined the Spirit Hall, it wasn't appropriate to reveal too much; he needed to plan it carefully.
