Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 242 As long as the students have a place to stay, that's fine; Shrek Academy has much more to consider (3 words)

“Master of the Red Dust Hall, your Red Dust Protection is indeed very good, but I don’t need it. I have a stronger defense than your Red Dust Protection.”

"What?" Jing Hongchen was somewhat surprised. The three great empires of Douluo Continent should not have any level nine soul masters. Even if they did, it would be impossible for them to make a better defensive soul tool than his own Hongchen Blessing.

He never imagined that Wang Dong'er would have Di Tian's "damage transfer device".

However, Jing Hongchen was also certain that the people Wang Dong'er brought were all people she had promoted.

"What price would it take for you to accept?" Jing Hongchen asked.

"Then I'm afraid you can't afford it." Wang Dong'er's lips curled up. "Behind me are all my people, do you understand?"

Jing Hongchen understood, so he remained silent.

If he hadn't followed Wang Dong'er, he would never have been able to obtain such a rare and precious treasure.

So, are you going to send Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the siblings, to follow Wang Dong'er?
Jing Hongchen was somewhat undecided.

To be fair, the royal family dared to negotiate with a tiger for its skin, and as a level nine soul master of the Sun Moon Empire, he also had to consider the Sun Moon Empire's interests.

But apart from that, he was also a grandfather with selfish motives.

If Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen can be kept out of political affairs and remain detached from worldly matters, perhaps one day in the future they will be able to remain untainted by this.

Should we take this gamble?

"Which sect do you belong to?" Jing Hongchen decided to ask first to be on the safe side, as joining a sect and joining an academy are very different things.

"We haven't named it yet," Wang Dong'er said honestly.

"No...no name?" Jing Hongchen was speechless.

He could tell that Wang Dong'er definitely had a powerful backer, but Wang Dong'er said she hadn't chosen a name yet, which meant...

Is Wang Dong'er planning to start her own business?

For some reason, Jing Hongchen remembered two names.

One is Shrek Academy, and the other is Tang Sect.

In the legends of Douluo Continent, ten thousand years ago there was a god named Tang San who supported Shrek Academy and founded the Tang Sect.

The Tang Sect has not been heard of for a long time, but Shrek Academy is now at its zenith.

With Wang Dong'er's talent, could she... become the next Tang San?
Wang Dong'er had no idea what Jing Hongchen was thinking. If she did, she would definitely say that Jing Hongchen's insults were too vulgar.

Since it is said that it "has not been named yet", it is clear that the power that Wang Dong'er intends to build is still in its initial stage. However, with a level 98 Super Douluo who looks like he is still young, and the team behind Wang Dong'er, it is bound to reach the level of a top sect like the Body Sect in the future.

Most importantly, Wang Dong'er is clearly a natural leader with many ideas, which makes people forget her age.

In comparison, his own grandson was simply an eyesore.

Upon thinking of this, Jing Hongchen's round, chubby face broke into a smile, and he said, "Can you tell me... your philosophy for starting your own business?"

"Idea? What kind of concept do we need? I just did it because I thought it was fun," Wang Dong'er said.

"Wow...it's fun?" Jing Hongchen was speechless.

"Just kidding." Wang Dong'er smiled and said, "The Red Dust Hall Master should also know what happened in the Soul Fighting Tournament. Most of the people following behind me now are those who chose to withdraw from Shrek Academy back then."

“Since they chose to follow me, I naturally have to take responsibility.”

"Alright." Jing Hongchen waved his hand. "Since that's the case, what do you think of my grandson and granddaughter's talents?"

As he spoke, Jing Hongchen directly told Wang Dong'er the basic information about Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the brother and sister.

"No? Grandpa?" Xiao Hongchen couldn't hold back anymore. How could he have sold himself out after only a few words?
He was about to ask Meng Hongchen to say something when he saw his sister staring intently at Wang Dong'er, and he was immediately speechless.

Has this world gone mad?

Since Jing Hongchen had asked, Wang Dong'er generously offered her comments.

Xiao Hongchen's martial soul is the three-legged golden toad, which possesses the aura of a divine beast, just like the Xuanwu Shield evolved from Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield. However, Xiao Hongchen's cultivation in martial soul can only be described as having no rivals within the Sun Moon Empire.

A person's energy is limited, and it is very difficult to reach the peak in both martial spirit and soul tool.

Therefore, although Xiao Hongchen's martial soul is powerful, he actually focuses on soul tools. Without soul tools, his martial soul strength cannot be considered top-notch.

Although Meng Hongchen mainly cultivates martial souls and close-range soul tools, her martial soul also has drawbacks. Her own cold poison will backfire, just like Dugu Bo suffered a backlash from snake venom when cultivating the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, and Ma Xiaotao suffered an outbreak of evil fire when cultivating the Evil Fire Phoenix.

When Wang Dong'er mentioned that her martial soul would have the drawback of a backlash from the cold poison, both Jing Hongchen and the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were somewhat shocked.

Because they had no idea about this, after all, the mutation of the Martial Soul into the Zhu Qing Ice Toad was a first in the history of the Hongchen family.

Jing Hongchen quickly asked, "How did you know about this drawback?" "It's recorded in the history of Douluo Continent; I just happened to have read it."

Jing Hongchen did not doubt the truthfulness of Wang Dong'er's words; Wang Dong'er had no need to deceive them.

But looking at Wang Dong'er's calm expression, Jing Hongchen suddenly had an idea.

"Wang Dong'er, may we let Xiao and Meng join you?" After a moment's thought, Jing Hongchen made a decision.

This is a high-stakes gamble, but also an investment.

He believed his premonition.

Wang Dong'er is currently in the early stages of development. Joining now would make you a veteran. If you wait until Wang Dong'er has become more established before joining, it will be too late.

"Grandpa, you..." Xiao Hongchen opened his mouth wide, not expecting that after only chatting for a short while, Jing Hongchen would actually pack himself and Meng Hongchen up and give them to Wang Dong'er.

Oh, maybe I'm the only one who was packed up by my grandfather. Meng Hongchen probably wanted to pack herself up and go there herself a long time ago.

"Really? Master Hongchen, you should think this through. Besides, I respect individual wishes; if they don't want to come, I won't accept them."

If Jing Hongchen is willing to send people over, Wang Dong'er will not refuse, but the rules still need to be explained, lest Jing Hongchen think that this is some kind of charity.

"I'm willing to come!" Before Jing Hongchen could even open her mouth, Meng Hongchen was already eager to come.

Even Jing Hongchen's forehead showed a few black lines.

"I want to know, what do they need to do, and what can't they do, if they join you?" Jing Hongchen asked.

"As of now, I haven't made up my mind yet, but one thing is certain: evil soul masters who rely on various acts of slaughter to cultivate are definitely going to be targeted."

Jing Hongchen's eyes flashed as she thought of the Holy Spirit Cult, which Crown Prince Xu Tianran had partnered with.

“Alright, since that’s the case… Xiao Hongchen, are you willing to join them?” Jing Hongchen looked at Xiao Hongchen.

As for Meng Hongchen... she was already itching to give herself away right now, so there was no need to ask.

Xiao Hongchen hesitated. His arrogance had not yet been broken, and he was two years older than Wang Dong'er. Joining Wang Dong'er's organization would be equivalent to becoming Wang Dong'er's subordinate.

Although, judging from Wang Dong'er's qualifications and performance, being a subordinate wouldn't be so bad...

“Okay, I’m willing to join.” Xiao Hongchen let out a long sigh.

Since Grandpa wants him to join, he must have considered it carefully. Maybe he doesn't understand now, but he might understand later.

“Alright.” Jing Hongchen laughed and said to Wang Dong’er with a slightly sincere tone, “Wang Dong’er, I can assure you that what you will learn here is not just superficial soul guidance technology.”

"Due to my research at Mingde Hall, I am unable to personally teach you for the time being. However, there is a teacher in the academy named Xuan Ziwen, who is currently an eighth-level Soul Master and has a good chance of being promoted to the ninth-level Soul Master. You can learn from him for now."

"However, he has a rather peculiar personality. If you run into a wall with him, you can come to me, and I will find you a new teacher."

"Xiao, Meng, you two should come with them too, and introduce the academy to them while you're at it."

Then, Jing Hongchen nodded to Wang Dong'er and left the physical testing room.

After Jing Hongchen left the physical testing room, Lin Jiayi also walked in, looking at Wang Dong'er with some surprise.

Before leaving, Jing Hongchen gave him a few pointers. Lin Jiayi had never seen Jing Hongchen treat his students with such seriousness before. Even when Wang Dong'er encountered any trouble, she would report it to him first.

Even her own grandchildren were arranged to live together by Jing Hongchen.

"Your school uniforms will be delivered to you tomorrow. Now, let's go and get to know your dorms."

The dormitory area is located behind the teaching area and is much larger than Shrek Academy.

The map also shows the location of the dormitory area and the presence of various facilities, including an auxiliary training room.

However, a fee is required to use this auxiliary training room.

Because there were many people, Zhang Lexuan and Gu Yuena were all arranged to stay on the top floor of the sixth-grade dormitory area, which was very quiet.

Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen are on the next level down.

Although it is much easier for Soul Masters to cultivate their Martial Souls than for Soul Masters, the grade division is based on the Soul Master level. Therefore, there are few people living in this dormitory building. Jing Hongchen simply gave the top two floors to Wang Dong'er and her group.

Each dormitory room in the dormitory area is equipped with a barrier to prevent various detection methods, and each room is a single room of 20 square meters with a bathroom, providing ample privacy.

Not only are the dorm rooms twice the size of those at Shrek Academy, but there's also no need for four hundred people to share a single toilet.

After all, the students only need to have a place to stay, but Shrek Academy has many more things to consider.

Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen were used to living in the inner courtyard, so they weren't bothered. However, Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, and the others were different. They kept praising the dormitory, which, although not luxurious, was clean and tidy.
