Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the one from the Star Dou Great Forest!"

Seeing Jin Tianming sit down gracefully, Jing Hongchen did not follow suit. Instead, she silently walked to Jin Tianming's side and stared intently at the middle-aged man sitting opposite her.

"Perhaps this is our first meeting, Hall Master Jing, no, I should now call you Minister of the Research Department of the Sun Moon Empire, Minister Jing."

"..." Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen remained silent for a moment before speaking with some helplessness: "Um... my surname is Hongchen, and my given name is Jing, not Jing."

Di Tian: ...

"Pfft—" The ferocious beasts behind Di Tian couldn't help but burst into laughter, especially Xiong Jun, who laughed the most exaggeratedly: "Wait, Di Tian, ​​didn't you say you had finished reading the information yesterday? How could you still get the name wrong?"

"Hahaha! That's hilarious!"

Jin Tianming almost lost his composure when he saw this scene.

I never expected that the mighty Beast God would make such a basic mistake. All the information he sent out yesterday was for nothing.

"Brother, stop laughing."

Seeing her brother's sly smile, Meng Hongchen reached out and tugged at his sleeve, whispering a reminder.

"Haha~ Little sister, if Grandpa's surname is Jing, what should we be called?" Xiao Hongchen joked as she laughed, completely unaware that a murderous aura was quietly approaching.

Huo Yuhao, who was standing next to him, quietly moved to the side and walked to Jin Tianming's side, both to avoid being caught in the crossfire and to take a look at the group of ferocious beasts in front of him.

"Grandson, you're laughing so happily, aren't you?" Jing Hongchen stared at Xiao Hongchen with a smile, one hand on her grandson's shoulder. Before Xiao Hongchen could explain, she slapped him out of the inn.

Meng Hongchen watched her brother fly far away, silently closed her eyes and prayed for him, hoping he would be alright—her brother had been courting death for quite some time now.

This little incident quickly passed, and everyone took their seats to discuss the important matters to come.

"Everyone should understand the importance of combining the Soul Spirit Technique with the Soul Guidance Device, right?" Jin Tianming asked directly, getting straight to the point.

All the ferocious beasts and Jing Hongchen nodded.

The reason why only the ninth-level Soul Master Jing Hongchen came today is because he was only responsible for recording, and all subsequent decisions were basically carried out by Jin Tianming.

“That level 10 soul tool still needs some time to be forged, but right now we can start preparing for something: have your soul beasts move to Mingdu and serve as high-ranking members of the Spirit Transmission Department, responsible for the handover work.” After Jin Tianming finished speaking, his gaze fell on Di Tian.

Jin Tianming did not intend for humans to dominate the Spirit Transmission Department, nor would he allow spirit beasts to take the lead. What he wanted was for the strength of both sides to be balanced.

His original plan was clear: to hand over the method of spirit transmission to the soul beasts, while the research and development of soul tools would be controlled by humans. The two sides would cooperate to achieve balanced development and common progress, so that the tragedy of the extinction of soul beasts would not occur in ten thousand years.

His clone and his main body once analyzed the reasons for the extinction of the soul beasts: in the end, these ferocious beasts were too "stupid" and listened to Xiao Huo in everything, but did not know how to leave themselves a way out.

He didn't learn how to use soul tools, preferring to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest.

As intelligent beings, they should have taken the initiative to learn soul tool technology after the Spirit Pagoda was built, even if they only held a high-level position. However, they chose to return to the Star Dou Great Forest and "lie down," ultimately leading to their extinction. To some extent, they brought it upon themselves.

At this moment, Jing Hongchen spoke first: "We humans are preparing to send Ye Yulin, a level nine soul master, along with several level eight soul masters to assist in the work!" They had previously discussed that the affairs of the military could be handled by the enshrined elders and legions who were unwilling to go out, while Ye Yulin always liked to go out, so he was asked to be in charge of the handover tasks of the Spirit Transmission Department.

Ye Yulin had no objection to this, and was even quite curious about how the ferocious beast would work, but he was trying to break through his cultivation level today, so he couldn't come along.

It must be said that Jin Tianming treats his subordinates really well and is never stingy with "sweeteners," unlike that stingy guy surnamed Tang!
Sea God Tang San: Still swearing?
"On our side of the soul beasts, we are preparing to send Snow Empress, Jade Princess, Ten Thousand Demon King, Purple Princess, and Evil Eye Tyrant!" Di Tian quickly announced the list of soul beasts in the lineup.

The ferocious beasts had discussed this for a long time: Di Tian was unlikely to be able to leave the Star Dou Great Forest, since Shrek Academy was still there and he had to stay and guard it; besides Xue Di, who had already been chosen, Bi Ji, Wan Yao Wang, and Zi Ji were also reliable enough.

As for Xiong Jun—that brainless bear—if you send him, he might get tricked into counting money while still helping the other party with the accounting.

The Crimson King will remain by the side of the auspicious beast, responsible for protecting it.

"Wait a minute!" After hearing the list Di Tian announced, Jing Hongchen suddenly had a question and asked, "Isn't the Evil Eye Tyrant Evil Emperor in the Demon Forest? Would he be willing to come?"

This was the point that puzzled him the most.

He remembered a saying that the Evil Emperor, who was born in the Demon Forest, was actually hostile to these ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Upon hearing this question, Jin Tianming did not explain, but instead looked at Di Tian, ​​signaling him to explain the situation to this "Minister of the Mortal World".

Di Tian didn't hide anything—after all, the reason why the Evil Emperor didn't appear today was related to the purpose of their trip.

He slowly began to speak: "We are here today to persuade the Evil Emperor. Only by making him understand that the Soul Beast race must unite as one in order to have a future."

After speaking, Di Tian and the ferocious beasts released their powerful auras to demonstrate their determination to Jing Hongchen.

Especially Xiong Jun, this bald middle-aged man, rolled up his sleeves and showed off his muscles, exuding a strong sense of power!

Seeing this scene, Jing Hongchen's lips twitched involuntarily—no matter how he looked at it, he felt that these guys in front of him were not there to "persuade" the Evil Eye Tyrant, but rather to "gang up on" him!
At this moment, he couldn't help but imagine a scene in his mind: if the Evil Eye Tyrant didn't agree, these guys would probably rush up and attack.

Meanwhile, far away in the Demon Forest, the Evil Eye Tyrant was enjoying the food sent by his descendants when, for some reason, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine...

"Hey, did you catch an ice-type soul beast? Why do I feel a chill all over?" The Evil Eye Tyrant Emperor couldn't help but ask his descendant who was bringing him food.

The evil-eyed tyrant that delivered the food glanced at the offerings and, finding no meat from ice-type soul beasts, replied, "Grandpa, you don't seem to have caught a cold, do you?"

"Idiot!" The Evil Emperor couldn't help but slap the Evil Eye Tyrant. "We are soul beasts, how can we talk about humans 'catching a cold'!"

However, he quickly fell into deep thought again: If it's not a problem with the food, then why do I feel a chill? Could it be that someone is eyeing my spirit ring?

But then I thought, what human would be so crazy as to target their own spirit ring? That would be tantamount to courting death.

Unable to figure it out, he had no choice but to put aside his doubts for the time being and continue eating with his head down.
