Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 229: Active Gifts, Red Dust Blessing

Just when the atmosphere was tense, Zhou Sichen suddenly said, "Master Hongchen, are you serious?"

His voice was not loud, but it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the stalemate.

Hearing Zhou Sichen's sudden words, Jing Hongchen, who was thinking about how to suppress Xuanzi in this verbal battle, was even more arrogant at this moment. He puffed out his chest and said loudly: "Of course, after all, I am not like Master Xuan who can only talk."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xuan Zi with a look full of contempt and disdain, as if he was mocking Xuan Zi's overestimation of his own abilities.

Since you can't produce a ninth-level soul guide, why bother with talking?
Your cultivation is indeed higher than mine, but in the field of soul guides, I am far better than you!
Hearing this, Xuanzi suddenly felt his face burning and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

I secretly regretted it in my heart. If I had known earlier, I would not have been so stubborn and pretentious.

But the words have been spoken, how can I take them back?
Besides, he couldn't lose the face of Shrek Academy in front of Jing Hongchen.

He noticed Zhou Sichen's meaningful look, as if he was provoked. He held his breath and said with gritted teeth: "Okay, how difficult is that? Remember to prepare your soul guide."

After hearing Xuanzi's words, Jing Hongchen was also a little confused.

He originally thought that everyone was just threatening each other and pretending, but he didn't expect Xuan Zi to be serious about it.

He widened his eyes and looked at Xuan Zi in disbelief, thinking to himself, no way, we are just saying it to show off, are you serious?
After all, you are the number one person in Shrek, a super strong man of level 98, and a stomp of your feet can shake the earth. Do you really intend to go to the gate of the academy and act like a monkey in front of the kids?

But Jing Hongchen changed his mind and realized that if he paid with a ninth-level soul guide in exchange for Xuanzi's embarrassment in the Sun-Moon Empire, it would be a severe blow to Shrek's prestige.

After all, for these powerful people who have been famous for a long time and have a respected status, face is more important than life.

Moreover, this would not only bring shame to Xuanzi alone, but also damage the reputation of the entire Shrek Academy and even the original Douluo Continent and Shrek.

Imagining the scene of Xuanzi standing at the gate of Mingde Hall of the Sun and Moon Empire and being watched by everyone, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but feel secretly proud.

You can't make a ninth-level soul guide, so you're giving me the sun and the moon as a monkey in exchange? Humph, what a joke!

With this thought in mind, Jing Hongchen's mood suddenly became better, and a barely perceptible smile of pride appeared on his face.

After all, even if Xuanzi was really given a ninth-level soul guide, as long as a confidentiality device was set up in advance, there would be no need to worry about them taking it to study and cracking the secrets inside.

Thinking of this, Jing Hongchen chuckled and said with a fake smile: "If Elder Xuan is willing, I will naturally offer the soul guide to you with both hands."

Just as the two of them were arguing with each other, Elder Mu's gentle voice was like a spring breeze, gently brushing past everyone's ears: "Okay Xuanzi, we are guests, so you don't have to be so aggressive."

The voice seemed gentle, but it seemed to carry an invisible power that made people quiet down involuntarily.

Hearing this voice, Jing Hongchen's nerves instantly tensed up and all the muscles in his body subconsciously tensed up, as if he was a wild beast encountering its natural enemy.

Just at that moment, he felt a terrifying crisis coming instantly. The oppressive feeling made it almost impossible for him to breathe. He almost couldn't help but activate several ninth-level soul guides he carried with him to save his life.

His heartbeat quickened rapidly, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with fear and dread.

Xuan Zi chuckled like a naughty child and said to the direction of the voice: "Mr. Mu, don't refuse the free soul guide. When the time comes, I will personally escort the exchange students. It's nothing to go to his Mingde Hall for a day."

As Xuan Zi spoke, he secretly glanced at Jing Hongchen. His deliberately provocative look made Jing Hongchen so angry that he was fuming.

Hearing this, Jing Hongchen's eyelids twitched violently, and he cursed inwardly, "This old man really has no shame at all! As expected, the old man is not lying to me. He is shameless and truly invincible."

The key point is that Xuanzi is really not afraid of being tricked. He is a Super Douluo of level 98. If he goes crazy and makes a scene in Mingdu, the consequences will be unimaginable. The whole Mingdu will probably be turned upside down by him.

Of course, what Jing Hongchen cared about at this moment was not whether Xuanzi had any shame, but the owner of the voice just now.

Old Mu, one of the black and white holy dragons who roamed the continent two hundred years ago, the world-famous Dragon God Douluo Moon!

Jing Hongchen had long heard of his reputation, but she had never thought that one day they would "meet" each other in this way.

This old immortal is actually alive!

Just one sentence made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy. That terrifying aura was something he had never felt before. It seemed like it came from an ancient demon god, making him terrified.

Is this the horror of the ninety-nine-level peerless Douluo?

Jing Hongchen's heart was filled with awe and unwillingness.

Although the soul guide technology of the Sun-Moon Empire is far superior to that of the original Douluo Continent, the top strength of the soul master forces has always been a weak point.

Thousands of years have passed since the collision of the Sun and Moon continents, but still not even a single Super Douluo has appeared.

Even Confucius, who has the greatest hope of a breakthrough, still finds it difficult to take that crucial step.

Now, the people in the Sun-Moon Empire who have the greatest hope of entering the Super Douluo realm are Jing Hongchen's grandson and granddaughter, who have high hopes for them. However, compared with Moon in front of them, they are still far behind.

Thinking of this, a trace of loneliness and helplessness flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes.

Moreover, the two children have used a lot of drugs since childhood. Although the Sun-Moon Empire has developed some standards for the use of drugs, it strictly controls the dosage and scope of application of drugs to avoid causing excessive damage to the foundation of soul masters.

However, if Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen continue to take it without restraint, their talents will probably be ruined in the future. Even if they were once gifted, they may gradually become mediocre on the road to growth.

That's why Jing Hongchen has been working so hard and actively trying to promote exchanges between the two academies. His goal is to lay a solid foundation for his two grandsons and make adequate preparations for their future promotion to Super Douluo.

After all, when it comes to research on martial spirit cultivation, Shrek Academy has a profound foundation and has achieved remarkable results, and is indeed the undisputed number one. The resources and teachings there may be able to make up for the shortcomings of the Sun-Moon Empire in martial spirit cultivation.

Just as Jing Hongchen was thinking in his heart, a golden figure emitting brilliant golden light appeared silently on the main seat.

This figure was none other than Old Mu. At this moment, Old Mu was no longer hunched over. His hunched back was now straightened again, and he was full of vitality.

At this moment, Mr. Mu's whole body was shining with gold. Although it was just light and shadow, it was like a solid object cast in gold. Every inch of light contained endless power and majesty.

Sitting there quietly, everything around him turned completely golden. Rich light elements flowed happily in the air, like a grand feast of light.

When Jing Hongchen saw this kind of "divine skill" for the first time, he felt as if his soul was being cleansed, and all distracting thoughts and filth were swept away by this pure golden light.

"What kind of soul skill is this?" Jing Hongchen couldn't help but exclaimed in shock, his voice full of shock and disbelief.

Although he was not a Super Douluo, he was also a powerful person at the level of Titled Douluo at the 93rd level. He was also a hegemon in the world of soul masters and had a wide range of knowledge. He was sure that this was not Mu Lao's real body, but at this time, Mu Lao's incarnation had completely exceeded his understanding of soul masters.

As the world's top soul engineer, he is well aware of the principles and capabilities of soul guides, and he is completely certain that this is definitely not something that soul guides can achieve.

The Old Mu in front of him was not just a light and shadow. The enormous power contained in him made Jing Hongchen feel astonished.

He was sure that just this light and shadow was as powerful as a Super Douluo, and that terrifying power could be unleashed with every move he made.

Is it possible for a soul master to exert his power in this way?

Jing Hongchen felt as if his eyes had been opened, but more of it was a shudder.

He suddenly realized that if this old man Mu really attacked him, to what extent would the several triggered level nine soul guides on him be of any use?

Those powerful soul guides that the Sun-Moon Empire is so proud of may be nothing more than fragile toys in the face of such absolute power.

However, Jing Hongchen was also able to bend and stretch at this moment. Although he had not seen his true body, the ability displayed by Mu Lao alone was enough to prove the horror of the ninety-nine-level peerless Douluo.

He put away his arrogance and contempt, bowed to the light and shadow, and said respectfully: "Junior Jing Hongchen, meet Senior Longshen. I am honored to meet you today. I will take the eighth-level sword of judgment as a gift."

At this moment, his heart was full of awe and he dared not underestimate it anymore.

Mu Lao of Light and Shadow smiled faintly, and the bright breath like a spring breeze actually reduced Jing Hongchen's fear by more than half.

That smile was warm and gentle, as if telling Jing Hongchen that there was no need to be so nervous: "You came to Shrek in person, probably just to see if an old man like me is still alive."

Mr. Mu's voice was gentle, yet he seemed to be able to see through everything.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Jing Hongchen's face. He tried to hide his true purpose and said quickly, "Mr. Mu, you are too polite. I am here for the exchange between the two academies. I want to pay a visit to Mr. Mu because I admire him."

Mu Lao chuckled, as if he saw through his thoughts, but he did not point it out: "Si Chen has already told me about the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen. As long as they are strong enough, they can directly enter the inner courtyard to study."

Mr. Mu's words were like a reassurance to Jing Hongchen, making him secretly happy.

Jing Hongchen also answered without hesitation: "During their studies at my Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, the students of your academy will receive the best guidance. If they have enough ability, they can also be admitted to my Mingde Hall to study."

He vowed solemnly to demonstrate the sincerity of the Sun-Moon Empire, and also hoped to take this opportunity to enhance the status of Mingde Hall in the hearts of Shrek Academy students.

Elder Mu nodded, a satisfied look on his face: "In this case, the matter is settled. Xuanzi will personally escort the children of the academy to Sun Moon, and pick up the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. Are you satisfied with this?"
Mr. Mu's meaning was very clear. Xuan Zi personally went to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to send and pick up people. This arrangement was comprehensive. It not only demonstrated the importance of Shrek Academy, but also avoided some situations that Jing Hongchen was worried about.

After all, Xuanzi is the strongest person in Shrek Academy. His appearance undoubtedly adds strong protection to this student exchange operation, and also makes Jing Hongchen feel relieved.

Jing Hongchen was secretly grateful in his heart, with a smile on his face, and he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Mu, for your understanding. In this case, I will give Zhou Sichen a gift."

As he spoke, Jing Hongchen raised his hand and touched his chest. His movements were smooth and natural, as if he had done it countless times before.

A very thin piece of metal appeared in his palm.

This piece of metal is round and looks as thin as paper, but it exudes a unique texture that cannot be underestimated.

The whole body exudes a soft golden halo, the light is warm but not dazzling, as if it contains endless mysterious power.

The most peculiar thing is the openwork carving on it. The lines are fine and regular, and each line seems to have been carefully carved, showing a very high level of craftsmanship, but also full of creativity and imagination.

There was no soul power fluctuation seeping out of it, but it just lay quietly in Jing Hongchen's palm, but it had a special texture as thick as a mountain, as if announcing its extraordinaryness to everyone.

There was a faint golden halo flashing above. The light was not strong, but it was extremely eye-catching, as if it had a kind of magical power that attracted people's attention involuntarily.

"?" As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Sichen, who was originally watching the show leisurely on the side, was stunned when he saw the soul guide device that Jing Hongchen took out.

He muttered to himself, isn't the plot right?
According to his idea, shouldn't it be that Mr. Mu said that a ticket is required to enter the Sea God Pavilion, and then Jing Hongchen reluctantly handed over a ninth-level soul guide device?
Why is Jing Hongchen taking the initiative to send gifts now?

The corners of Mu Lao's lips slightly raised, revealing a faint smile on his face: "This thing is indeed extraordinary, but it should be a defensive soul guide."

Jing Hongchen quickly responded: "Yes, this soul guide was made by me. I named it Hongchen Blessing. It is indeed a trigger-type defensive soul guide."

When talking about his masterpiece, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride on his face.

He was well aware of the value of this soul guide and believed that it would satisfy Zhou Sichen.

As he spoke, Jing Hongchen took the initiative to introduce the effects of Hongchen Blessing, his eyes flashing with excitement: "The method of using Hongchen Blessing is not difficult. Put it on the chest and it will automatically fit into the soul master's body, absorbing the soul master's soul power and becoming one with it."

"Once a soul master is attacked, it will sense and defend itself in advance, protecting the master's safety at all times. It can also be turned off and on by thoughts, which is convenient and quick, allowing the user to control it at will."

"There are a few things about Red Dust Blessing that I am quite satisfied with. First of all, it does not restrict the user's cultivation level. Even a fledgling spirit master with only one or two spirit rings can use it."

"Its defensive effect is equivalent to the strongest attack of the user concentrating all his soul power without using soul skills, but the soul power consumed is only one-fifth of the strongest attack."

"This means that the user can rely on its power at a critical moment to easily resist powerful attacks without having to worry about excessive consumption of soul power."

"And it is suitable for spirit masters of any level. If it is in the hands of a Titled Douluo, it can have the defensive power of a Super Douluo."

After listening to the effect of Hongchen's blessing, even the knowledgeable Zhou Sichen had to admit that this soul guide was indeed good.

Its design concept is novel and unique, and its functions are powerful and practical. It is undoubtedly a rare fine product.

But Jing Hongchen hadn't finished speaking yet, and he continued, "At the same time, it also has a special way to activate it. By actively activating the core magic array, it can generate an invincible shield that lasts for fifteen seconds, and the defense power is three times that of the user's own cultivation."

"It can become a ninth-level soul guide because of the ability of this invincible shield, but this special stimulation needs to be recharged once it is used."

"But there is no need to deliberately charge it. As the user practices naturally, it will gradually fill up with the required soul power. This process takes about three days."

"Of course, you can also actively charge it. In that case, you will need to meditate for about a day and a night, and continuously pour all your soul power into it."

"This charging method is both flexible and convenient, allowing users to choose according to their actual situation." Jing Hongchen introduced it in detail without any intention of hiding anything.
