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

Although the space inside was large, it only contained a few crystal-like raw pieces.

Ye Chen knew that this was a unique information storage chip from Mingdetang, similar to a USB flash drive from his previous life, capable of storing a large amount of data.

Ye Chen took out a piece, gently placed it in his palm, and then probed it with his spiritual energy...

Instantly, a massive amount of information flooded into Ye Chen's mind.

Drawings, parameters, formulas, experimental data, soul power circuit configurations... it's all-encompassing and at an extremely high level!

The essence of Jing Hongchen's lifelong research, especially those technologies that were not made public in Mingde Hall and belonged to the core secrets of the Hongchen family, were now being displayed to Ye Chen without reservation.

Ye Chen's lips curled up slightly.

This time, we've really struck gold.

Ye Chen knew that Jing Hongchen hadn't given him everything; she definitely had something else to hide.

However, Ye Chen wouldn't push him too hard; these things were already enough.

As expected of the old man Jing Hongchen, who is at the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided technology pyramid, his private collection is indeed extraordinary.

Many of the ideas are ingenious and the concepts are brilliant.

It is particularly unique in energy compression, miniaturization of soul guide cores, conversion efficiency of high-energy soul power arrays, and extreme applications of several special rare metals.

The knowledge of Soul Masters is endless.

Ye Chen's Omnipotent Illustrated Catalogue can only be considered a finished product; to gain knowledge from it requires a long period of study.

However, Jing Hongchen has readily available knowledge that he can use right away.

If Ye Chen could obtain the treasured item from Jing Hongchen, it would definitely benefit him greatly. Moreover, Ye Chen could give it to Xian Lin'er, which would be of immense help to her.

This also greatly enhances the entire Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance System.

After a long while, Ye Chen withdrew his mental energy, put the chip back into the box, and put it away.

"Indeed, Master Hongchen, your family is indeed very wealthy."

Ye Chen's tone carried a hint of approval, but to Jing Hongchen, it was nothing short of the most biting sarcasm.

Jing Hongchen's face was ashen, and he remained silent.

Ye Chen got what he wanted, but he didn't stop there. He continued, "There's one more thing. From today onwards, the Hongchen family will be at my service."

Jing Hongchen suddenly raised his head, his cloudy old eyes flashing with intense resistance and struggle: "You! You want me to betray the country?"

As the head of Mingde Hall, he still has great loyalty to the Sun Moon Empire. He can provide help to Ye Chen and submit to him, but he will never fight against his own country for Ye Chen!
"Treason?"

Ye Chen turned around, a playful smile on his face. "You overestimate yourself and your Hongchen family."

"With my strength, I can take the head of the Sun Moon Empire Emperor at any time, throw the Sun Moon Empire into chaos, and even install a puppet emperor at will."

"To be honest, the Sun Moon Empire no longer poses any threat to me. Your Red Dust Family is just a tool to me."

Although Ye Chen spoke calmly, every word he uttered was piercing.

Jing Hongchen opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

He was reluctant to admit it, but given Ye Chen's demonstrated combat prowess, it was indeed possible for him to do so.

When Ye Chen dealt with him just now, he did not unleash his full power.

But because of this, he was certain that Ye Chen's cultivation and combat power were almost at the pinnacle of the continent.

He even surpassed his former teacher, Kong Deming!

Kong Deming was the strongest person he had ever met, and also the person with the highest level of skill in soul tools.

But when facing Kong Deming, he felt only awe and reverence, which posed a great threat to him.

Facing Ye Chen, he felt as if he were facing a mountain, an insurmountable mountain.

Ye Chen's single glance was enough to make him feel a life-or-death crisis!
He was very confident in his own intuition. Ye Chen was simply too powerful, too extraordinary.

Even if Ye Chen isn't as strong as he imagined, with Ye Chen's talent, he could reach that level in a few years, or even be stronger than he imagined.

"I……"

"I can bring the Red Dust Clan... to do things for you in secret."

Jing Hongchen's voice was extremely dry, as if he had used up all his strength, "But I can't hand over Mingde Hall to you directly, that would involve too much trouble, but I will do my best to serve you."

The Hongchen family belongs to him alone, but the Mingde Hall belongs to the empire. The interests and connections involved are huge, and it is not his personal fiefdom. He can only do his best to help Ye Chen.

"can."

Ye Chen nodded.

All he really wanted was an attitude; he didn't need much else.

After all, with the Tang Sect as his backing, he was not lacking in cultivation resources.

As for rare metals, although they are somewhat scarce, they are not essential. After all, he only needs them to make some soul tools, which are just toys and do not help improve his combat power.

He did all this simply so that the people around him could have a better life.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. I need a special admission status for the Royal Soul Master Academy to make it easier to get along with Xiaomeng in the future. Please try to arrange it and have Xiaomeng give it to me after you've done so."

Ye Chen seemed to have thought of something and looked at Jing Hongchen.

Mirror Red Dust: ...

"it is good."

Jing Hongchen's lips twitched, but he still chose to agree.

He had already given himself and his family away, and he no longer cared about Ye Chen and Meng Hongchen's affairs.

Moreover, he hadn't expected Meng Hongchen to have such good taste, able to spot a prodigy like Ye Chen at a glance...

"You should thank Xiaomeng. If it weren't for him, our conversation today wouldn't have been so pleasant."

As Ye Chen spoke, he slowly walked up to Jing Hongchen, gently patted his shoulder, and a slight smile played on his lips, carrying a profound meaning. "You don't need to feel aggrieved. A few years from now, you will definitely not regret your choice today..."

As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot.

Jing Hongchen stared blankly around, her pupils slightly contracting.

Because he couldn't sense how Ye Chen disappeared at all, or even feel the slightest fluctuation of soul power, which was extremely strange.

The seal within his body had long been broken, and even now, with his spiritual power spread out, he still couldn't detect any trace of Ye Chen, which was quite absurd.

What shocked him most was that despite the terrifying fluctuations that had just erupted here, not a single trace of them had escaped.

When he first unleashed his Title Douluo-level soul power, he did so without any attempt to conceal it.

Clearly, the moment he entered, Ye Chen had somehow managed to completely shield the room from the outside world.

Moreover, seeing that the other party was not surprised at all, and even had already noticed that he was being followed.

Although these things were very strange, he had already witnessed Ye Chen's talent, and could only feel a little emotional.

There are people outside people, and there are days outside the sky.

Shrek Academy has produced such a prodigy.

Fortunately, the other party doesn't seem to have any deep-seated hatred towards the Sun Moon Empire.

Otherwise, given the opponent's strength, one person alone could shake the entire empire!
