Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

"pat~"

Ye Chen's claws, covered in ice crystal dragon scales, lightly landed on Jing Hongchen's shoulder.

The scene of Jing Hongchen being shattered to pieces as she imagined never materialized.

There was only a chilling coldness, along with an incomparably profound power, which completely sealed away all his soul power, martial soul, and physical body!

Almost instantly, Jing Hongchen felt like an ordinary person.

His once-proud soul power and physique have vanished without a trace!

This plunged him into unprecedented fear.

"What...what did you do to me...!"

Jing Hongchen raised her head and stared intently at Ye Chen.

If his soul power is sealed forever, what difference is there between that and killing him?
"Don't worry, I just want to have a good talk with you."

After Ye Chen used his sealing ability to seal Jing Hongchen, he got up and sat back down in his chair.

Jing Hongchen remained kneeling on the spot, her eyes seemingly devoid of any light.

Just now, he almost lost everything.

However, a man's knees are worth gold, and now is the time to cash in on that.

Fortunately, he realized his mistake in time, and this act of kneeling gave him hope for life, which was still very valuable.

"It is I who have failed. I am willing to lead the Hongchen family to submit, but please spare Xiaomeng. She is just a child..."

Jing Hongchen lowered her head, her tone pleading.

Clearly, although Ye Chen looks young, he doesn't treat Ye Chen as a teenager at all, but as an ancient relic that is hundreds of years old, which is why he has such terrifying cultivation.

The other party must have used some secret technique to maintain such a youthful appearance.

After all, there are still quite a few secret methods and treasures in this world that can make people young again.

He didn't want Meng Hongchen to live with such an old man...

"Old Deng, what do you mean by this? I'm Shrek's student, about the same age as Xiao Meng. It's a matter of mutual consent, do you want to interfere?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen immediately became displeased.

What does this old man Jing Hongchen mean? Does he think of him as a man who is hundreds of years old?

Is he that old?

"Impossible! No Shrek Academy student could possibly have such cultivation as you!" Jing Hongchen said firmly, clearly not believing Ye Chen's nonsense.

Even the dean of Shrek Academy doesn't possess such terrifying strength.

Could Shrek's students really overpower him?
Just kidding?
Although he didn't know where Ye Chen came from, he absolutely refused to believe that the other party was just a teenager.

"Don't you have a soul tool for testing bone age? If you don't believe me, just test it and you'll know," Ye Chen said calmly.

He subdued Jing Hongchen and the Hongchen family as a matter of course; his main purpose was to make things easier for himself and Meng Hongchen.

If he doesn't prove it properly, Jing Hongchen might secretly slander him in front of Meng Hongchen.

Ye Chen didn't want to encounter such a troublesome situation.

"it is good!"

As Jing Hongchen spoke, she took out a crystal ball.

He simply couldn't believe that Ye Chen was only a teenager.

He was actually subdued by a teenager with one hand. If word got out, how would he ever have the face to show his face in public again?
Upon seeing the crystal ball, Ye Chen instantly knew how to use it.

This is because it's a soul tool used to test bone age, and Shrek Academy also has one. Although the entrance exam still uses the bone-reading method passed down from ten thousand years ago, sometimes when they encounter someone who is just right in the age range, they will use a soul tool for greater accuracy.

Ye Chen casually grabbed the crystal ball and pressed it down with his palm, then poured his soul power into it.

As Ye Chen's soul power flowed in, his age quickly appeared on the crystal ball...

"Ten...ten...this is impossible!!!"

When Jing Hongchen saw the age displayed on the crystal ball, her eyes widened in disbelief.

But this crystal ball is a peak level eight soul tool, so it's absolutely impossible for the test to be wrong!
Ye Chen was actually only a teenager, and even younger than he had imagined!
To have combat power comparable to a Limit Douluo in one's teens is outrageous, even for the reincarnations of gods in myths and legends!
"Nothing is impossible. Don't try to understand me with your Soul Master mindset," Ye Chen said, narrowing his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen fell silent.

Although I hate to admit it, this is the truth.

"Alright, now we can talk about our business."

Ye Chen slowly straightened up, his tone becoming playful.

Jing Hongchen struggled to lift her head and stared at Ye Chen: "What else do you want to talk about?"

His tone was filled with helplessness; he understood that his life or death was entirely in the hands of the other party.

"It's simple, I want to see your sincerity first, Master Hongchen."

Ye Chen leaned forward slightly, and the invisible pressure made Jing Hongchen almost suffocate.

“I am very interested in the advanced soul guidance technology possessed by your Hongchen family. I wonder if the Hongchen Hall Master could broaden my horizons?”

Clearly, Ye Chen wanted to obtain all the cutting-edge technology that Jing Hongchen possessed!

"you!"

Jing Hongchen's pupils suddenly contracted!
I thought the other party was young and just wanted money or a soul tool, so I tried to extort them.

To everyone's surprise, the other party went straight to the core, wanting the most important secret of Mingdetang!
Clearly, the other party's visit was not a whim, nor was it for a date or romance with Meng Hongchen; rather, it was specifically aimed at him!

"Do not……"

Jing Hongchen instinctively wanted to refuse, but as soon as she raised her head, she met Ye Chen's deep, cold gaze.

The words of refusal instantly stuck in my throat.

He had no doubt that if he dared to utter even half a "no," he would turn into an ice sculpture in this private room the next moment, or even disappear without a trace.

Thinking of Meng Hongchen... thinking of the entire Hongchen family... an immense fear, like a cold, venomous snake, tightly coiled around his heart.

"...I'll give it to you."

In the end, Jing Hongchen nodded in agreement.

The immense sense of humiliation almost overwhelmed him; he felt as if all his strength had been drained, and his eyes lost their luster.

The dignified head of Mingde Hall was being pressured like this by a teenager; only he knew the humiliation he felt.

With trembling hands, Jing Hongchen took out a flat metal box about the size of a palm from his bosom.

This is one of his most important storage soul tools, containing all his hard work and original backups of most of the top soul tool design blueprints. It can be said to be one of the most important items in Mingde Hall.

But now, he has to hand it over to an outsider himself...

“It’s all here…”

Jing Hongchen's voice was filled with a deep sense of powerlessness and despair.

With a thought, Ye Chen sent out a burst of spiritual energy and pulled the metal box into his hand.
