Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 244 Mirror of the Mortal World: Instant Throw!

"I am a subject of the Sun Moon Empire, and I would rather die than submit." Jing Hongchen sneered, turned his head away, and put on a loyal and patriotic look.

"..."

But the atmosphere was unusually quiet.

A few minutes later, Jing Hongchen turned his head awkwardly and found Su Wen sitting leisurely to the side, looking at him with a smile.

“Since Master Jing is unwilling, we cannot force him. Of course, Ah Xiao will stay at Shrek Academy. I am fine, and he will not be targeted. As for Meng, I will go to see her later, and if she is willing, I will bring her back to Shrek with me.” Su Wen patted his sleeves, sighed softly, and said with a regretful expression, before getting up to leave.

"Cough cough cough cough..." Jing Hongchen was anxious. Why was this person not playing by the rules? As the head of Mingde Hall, he had access to the secrets of the empire, and even the most advanced soul guidance technology of the Sun Moon Empire. These were his powerful trump cards. He did not believe that Shrek Academy would not be tempted by them.

Therefore, he only showed off a little to gain some benefits for his grandchildren.

After all, the Sun Moon Empire had tried to kill him time and time again. Even the most loyal heart was broken. Although he was a citizen of the Sun Moon Empire, he was not its dog, and he still had a temper.

But who would have thought that Su Wen wouldn't even try to persuade him, and would just turn around and leave.

Su Wen paused, then turned to look at Jing Hongchen suspiciously. "Is Hall Master Jing feeling unwell?" He then tossed him a bottle of syrup. "Here, it's for coughs. Hall Master Jing can take it three times a day..."

"Cough cough cough!" Jing Hongchen was embarrassed and annoyed, so she coughed a few more times and threw the syrup back.

"So, you little brat, Su, you've come here just to laugh at this old man, haven't you?"

"Master Jing, you flatter me. I only obtained the Sun Moon Empire in exchange for your call, but I was betrayed and besieged by Ye Xishui and the Sun Moon Empire. If I hadn't had some tricks up my sleeve, your dear grandson Xiao Hongchen would probably already be a specimen on display at Shrek Academy." Su Wen chuckled.

Even if it were a Super Douluo, he would still have failed in this deadly situation. The only reason he was able to escape was because he had a trump card that he hadn't revealed...

"..."

Jing Hongchen remained silent upon hearing this.

Having dealt with Shrek Academy for so many years, especially as an adversary, I naturally know Shrek's methods. Su Wen died mysteriously in the Sun Moon Empire, so his grandson... would probably have a hard time dying even if he wanted to.

"Thanks."

He glanced at Su Wen with a complicated expression.

Who could have imagined that his most loyal empire would betray him, and that his former enemy, whom he had once hated to the point of no return, would extend a helping hand when he was most helpless?

"It's just mutually beneficial," Su Wen chuckled.

“With your abilities, you seem to be able to easily move between the inside and outside of the prison. I wonder…” Jing Hongchen hesitated for a moment, “Could you rescue me after Xu Jiangliu’s Royal Soul Guidance Legion takes over, while they are on the move, and at the same time fake my death?”

"For your subordinates?" Su Wen raised an eyebrow.

"Sigh..." Jing Hongchen sighed deeply.

"Although they have never helped me in the slightest when I fell to this point, I do not blame them."

"If I escape from prison, they will likely be implicated, but if I die, everything will be wiped clean, they can continue to serve Mingde Hall, and the emperor won't say anything more..."

"Okay." Su Wen nodded.

"The level of security at that time was probably unimaginable to you and me," Jing Hongchen reminded him.

"It's alright, I can move around freely even in the emperor's bedroom," Su Wen said with a smile.

"..."

Jing Hongchen's pupils contracted. What arrogant words.

He subconsciously started analyzing the situation... but then he saw Su Wen's teasing expression and blushed, forgetting that the two of them were no longer enemies. Oh well, his professional habit kicked in again.

"gone."

Su Wen waved his hand, and amidst Jing Hongchen's astonished gaze, he simply pushed open the door and walked out, openly and honestly... "Wait!!"

The mirror's red dust caused an earthquake in its pupils.

Only now did he realize that this space-time was frozen! The water glass beside him clearly splashed ripples, but they seemed to freeze in mid-air like ice. Only after Su Wen left did time slowly begin to pass over him.

His soul power was imprisoned, which greatly reduced his mental perception, so he only noticed the abnormality at this moment.

No wonder he said he could come and go freely even in the emperor's bedroom...

Jing Hongchen slowly closed her eyes, but a tidal wave of emotions surged within her.

time!

He can control time!

He can even calmly talk to himself and walk away unhurriedly. This kind of incredible ability is probably something that even the current lord of Shrek Academy cannot do.

An incredible ability.

It seems... he has acquired a soul beast with spacetime abilities?

Jing Hongchen exhaled a deep breath of stale air.

The future of the mainland truly rests on Shrek Academy...

He was excited about such important news, but quickly regained his composure. Although he appeared to be alone in the room, the others were probably monitoring him through a projection screen, and he couldn't show any unusual behavior.

……

"how?"

When Cai Meier saw Su Wen return, her eyes held a hint of expectation.

Jing Hongchen's importance to Shrek Academy is revolutionary, especially to the Soul Guidance Department... If they can truly bring him under their wing, Shrek's Soul Guidance Department will undoubtedly experience a leap forward in a period of time.

Even though she was once the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department and had been competing with the Soul Guidance Department for decades, she had no selfish motives at this moment.

"It's done."

Su Wen sat on the sofa with a smile and took a sip of tea.

"That's good." Cai Meier let out a long breath, her expression relaxing considerably.

"Since you're already planning to break off relations, when are you going to leave?" she asked softly again.

Before she came, Mu En's most frequent instruction was to remember to follow Su Wen's orders. Her talent was somewhat inferior to that of her peers Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er, but the reason she was able to take over as the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department in recent years was because of her steady approach.

The so-called "clumsy yet capable" approach, reaching a level of composure that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"At the latest, after March, the Sun Moon Empire will make its move against Jing Hongchen before then..." Su Wen said softly, "Besides, there are some debts I still need to collect from the Holy Spirit Cult."

"The Holy Spirit Cult?" Cai Meier was taken aback and hesitated, clearly having heard some secrets from Elder Mu: "There are two Limit Douluo in their lair, so don't rush in rashly."

"Yes, we will." Su Wen's lips curled into a smile. "We'll just collect some interest..."

He really can't beat the dual extremes.

After all, with his current strength of level 73, and with six ferocious beasts on his main combat force, dealing with Ye Xishui, who had already exhausted her "storage" of soul, would not be difficult. But Long Xiaoyao... is no weakling.

But collecting some interest... for example, the three Holy Spirit Cult members who once besieged him, and even the other branch altars of the Holy Spirit Cult besides the main altar, are all openly waiting for him to reap the rewards.
