Chapter 277 Laughing at the Mortal World [Flesh and Blood Suffering]

Ning Wuque's control over his body has reached an exaggerated level. It is no exaggeration to say that when he is fully focused on his mental energy, he can even make the muscles in a certain part of his body move according to his own will.

Furthermore, Electrolux altered his own magic; he wasn't joking.

Sitting at his desk, Ning Fengxiao looked at Ning Wuque's confident demeanor. Despite his inner reluctance, he could only sigh inwardly and nod calmly.

"Alright, it's good that you understand. My only request is to leave a lineage for the Ning family."

“I will, Father.”

The exchange was brief; soon, the sound of the two exchanging pleasantries could be heard in the office, as they chatted about other topics.

Such as matters concerning the next Soul Fighting Tournament.

…………

at the same time.

In the Sun Moon Empire, in the capital city of Mingdu, at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, in a massive private soul master laboratory, twenty-year-old Xiao Hongchen gazed at his masterpiece before him, a smile curving his lips:
"Hahaha, finally... Ning Wuque, I've been looking forward to this, you can see his expression."

"Brother, this is the sixth time you've mentioned this today. You wouldn't happen to have fallen for that guy named Ning Wuque, would you? Hehe, brother, you're really a pervert!"

"Dream! You're spreading rumors about me like this, or I'll tell Grandpa and you'll get a bump on your head! I was just showing him normal respect!"

Turning around, Xiao Hongchen looked at his adorable yet hateful sister's accusations and complaints. This was perfectly normal for him, after all, Ning Wuque was the only opponent he could truly acknowledge.

In order to have a thoroughly enjoyable battle with him in this competition, he specially went to ask his grandfather for a lot of technical information on controlled soul tools, and combined it with his martial soul to complete a soul tool path that was enough to overturn the world.

This time, he's not going to play with cannons!
Meng Hongchen covered her mouth and chuckled. She only made these little jokes because she knew Xiao Hongchen would let her have her way. With her hands behind her back, she walked over to her brother in a few steps, looked up at the huge machine in front of her, and asked with a hint of doubt:
"Is this the Level 1 Controlled Soul Tool [Humanoid]? What's the difference between it and the Level 2 Controlled Soul Tool [Armor] I'm wearing? And this huge thing... I'm not looking down on your brother, but can you really make it move?"

Looking up, she saw a six-meter-tall, humanoid, all-metal structure, covered inside and out with complex and numerous soul-guided inscriptions, some of which even she, a top student, couldn't understand.

It wasn't that she didn't know him, but rather... Xiao Hongchen's bold idea puzzled her greatly.

Using a large soul guide inscription as a hub, and linking three or four smaller soul guide inscriptions as "axles" or "gears", a completely new soul guide inscription system is formed.

From her own perspective, this new Soul Guidance Inscription system has an extremely unstable structure and may collapse as soon as it is activated due to its inherent problems.

But like these inscriptions, the entire metal figure is covered inside and out, as if they were engraved into its very being.

What's most unbelievable is that this metal humanoid soul tool doesn't even have a cockpit. Meng Hongchen looked at it again and again but couldn't find it. The whole thing looked like a perfectly fitted metal whole.

"No, this is not a [humanoid] soul tool, but a [ascension] soul tool that I created exclusively for the Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul. Its inspiration comes from the power that Ning Wuque displayed at that time. You know, little sister? Even now, I still can't forget the unparalleled sense of oppression it brought me."

Slightly raising his head, Xiao Hongchen faced his masterpiece and gently closed his eyes. The blood-gold giant of qi seemed to still be vividly present in his mind. He opened his eyes and spread his arms to the sides: "I want to defeat him, defeat him head-on! But I know clearly that it is absolutely impossible for me to do so with my weak body. It is something that will never be achieved in this lifetime!"

However, flesh and blood are weak and feeble; I lack powerful vital energy. Yet, Heaven has granted me another path to escape the shackles of flesh and blood—metal! How beautiful it is, how hard it is! Want to see it, sister? My masterpiece, I call it—Ascension!

"Xiao, this is... crazy. I don't know what you're planning, but I think I should call Grandpa over to keep an eye on things, so you don't cause a mess that I can't clean up."

With cold sweat beading on her forehead and seeing her brother's fanatical expression, Meng Hongchen thought it best to call her grandfather, Jing Hongchen, over first.

She had a premonition that her brother, Xiao Hongchen, would definitely come up with something extraordinary during this period of time!
Since the last competition, he has taken the initiative to ask his grandfather if he could observe and learn about some of the soul tools that are still in the experimental stage in the Sun Moon Empire.

For example, the humanoid soul tool, and the soul tool on her armor, etc.

Then, after he broke through to level 70, he went into seclusion. After asking his grandfather for a large amount of rare metals, he locked himself in this spacious private soul-guiding laboratory.

If he hadn't sent his grandfather a message this morning saying he had succeeded, she wouldn't have known when he would have appeared.

Xiao Hongchen did not question his sister's words, because he knew that everything he was doing might be challenging the limits of traditional soul masters' understanding or even their worldview.

But... so what?
It was no longer just about wanting to defeat Ning Wuque; once he embarked on this path, he clearly saw the direction of his future.

He nodded slightly, smiling as he walked forward, saying:

"Go, sister, inform Grandpa, and also call a few more Soul Douluos. I want to personally demonstrate one of the final forms of the Soul Guidance Path to you. It's not just a weapon called an 'External Object,' but also a 'Power' that can enhance our own abilities!"

Approaching his masterpiece, Xiao Hongchen reached out and gently stroked the knee of the metal humanoid figure.

Kakaka~
The sound of disintegration slowly approached.

In Meng Hongchen's eyes from behind, the entire six-meter-tall metal humanoid began to disintegrate, eventually turning into six parts: head, torso, and limbs.

Under Xiao Hongchen's control, they were incorporated into six small, specially made storage soul tools within his body.

Elbows, knees, chest, and crown.

Putting away the humanoid metal figure, Xiao Hongchen strode over to the nearby desk piled high with paper pages and began organizing the manuscripts he had written over the past few days.

Behind her, Meng Hongchen turned and left with a feeling of unease in her heart.

She didn't know what her brother had been doing these past few months, but she decided to inform her grandfather first.
