Peerless Tang Sect: Snow Empress Adopts and Intercepts Jiang Nannan

Chapter 143; Two Level 9 Soul Tools

"I never expected His Majesty to be so generous."

"They gave us two level-nine soul tools in total?"

Looking at Jing Hongchen walking ahead.

Ye Xuanxin smiled.

He was secretly alarmed.

Even in the Sun Moon Empire, a level nine soul tool is definitely a strategic weapon.

There's no price to be found on the market; if there is any for sale, just wait for the imperial army to come knocking.

Even on the black market, this kind of thing is by no means common; once it appears, countless people will scramble to buy it.

Prices have been driven up to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of gold soul coins in some cases.

If the Sun Moon Empire was like this, then the Douluo Three Kingdoms was even worse.

If there aren't even any level nine soul masters, where would a level nine soul tool come from?

"Heh, you rascal, His Majesty is doing this to keep you here."

"The value you're demonstrating now far surpasses that of just two level-nine soul tools."

"When it comes to generosity, my Sun Moon Empire is truly unmatched by any other empire."

"As long as you have ability and value, we will never be stingy with our resources."

A hint of pride appeared on Jing Hongchen's face.

It is precisely because of this kind of ambition and generosity that the Sun Moon Empire has been able to stand up to the Douluo Three Kingdoms, firmly locking talent within the Sun Moon Empire, and ensuring the continuous development of soul tool technology.

Otherwise, it would have been destroyed by the Douluo Three Kingdoms long ago.

"But it seems I can't call you 'boy' anymore; I should address you as 'Count' now?"

Jing Hongchen made another sarcastic remark.

"You flatter me."

"You are an elder, so the original form of address is fine."

"That's why I say you have a great attitude. This composure in the face of both honor and disgrace is something not everyone can achieve."

Ye Xuanxin shook her head.

To him, these things were really like fleeting clouds.

There's no way around it; the things I'm exposed to are just too advanced.

His goal has always been the gods in the heavens; what is a mere earl compared to that?

However, those two level-nine soul tools were somewhat tempting to him.

Jing Hongchen led him and Bingdi all the way to the depths of Mingde Hall.

Open a massive, heavy metal door.

Even the walls inside are made of metal.

It looks very sturdy.

The defenses are tight.

The entire space was filled with a powerful pressure of soul energy.

Inside the counter, various soul-guided devices shimmered with light, creating a dazzling effect.

Clearly, this is a warehouse storing advanced soul tools.

None of the soul guides in these counters are below level eight.

According to Ye Xuanxin's guess, the Sun Moon Empire must have many warehouses like this, which also shows the Sun Moon Empire's strength.

Otherwise, in the original work, they might not have been able to defeat Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy head-on.

Jing Hongchen led the two to a counter.

He took out two soul-guided devices from the counter.

One piece is shaped like a necklace, with a star gemstone set at the end, emitting a soft starlight, which is very beautiful.

The other item was a spear that was two and a half meters long.

The moment it was taken out, the temperature around it dropped.

A chill permeated the air.

The entire spear is carved with a dragon-like relief, covered with ice-blue dragon scales that extend all the way to the spearhead, making it incredibly sharp and magnificent.

A smug glint flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes as he introduced the product with a smile.

"Xuanxin, look, this necklace soul tool is for you."

"This soul-guided device is named Love of the Stars."

You should have heard of the name Ye Yulin, the Starry Sky Douluo.

"This soul tool is one of his early works."

Ye Xuanxin nodded.

He had naturally heard of Ye Yulin, the Starry Sky Douluo of the Sun Moon Empire.

His status in the Soul Master world and within the Sun Moon Empire is in no way inferior to that of Dean Jing Hongchen in front of him.

He is considered the number one person on the continent when it comes to various high-altitude soul tools, and his Sun and Moon Divine Needle is even known as the Empire's Stabilizing Needle.

"This necklace is a defensive soul tool."

"Although Ye Yulin isn't very good at this kind of thing, this piece of his is extremely suitable for you."

"It doesn't need to be infused with soul power; it only needs to be charged under the starry sky and powered by starlight to maintain its operation."

"When a Soul Master carries it on their person, it will automatically generate a protective shield upon encountering an attack, which can withstand three full-force attacks from a Title Douluo below the Super Douluo level."

"After using the shield three times, it needs to be recharged under the starry sky for thirty nights to return to its original state."

"Considering that Ye Xuanxin, your strength is still low, but you are of great significance to the empire, I have specially chosen this soul tool for your safety."

"Putting aside everything else, its performance in defending against assassination is absolutely superior."

"Dean Hongchen has put in a lot of effort."

Ye Xuanxin took the necklace with both hands, her eyes showing satisfaction.

Although he bears the mark of the Snow Emperor and the reverse scale of the Silver Dragon King, he can't use that every time he encounters danger.

This love affair with the stars could be made public to protect him from some dangers.

Of course, with Hyotei by his side, such opportunities are probably rare.

Jing Hongchen's gaze then fell on Bingdi.

Hyotei's gaze fell on the spear.

"Uh, Ye Bing'er."

"This spear is for you."

"This spear was made by a level nine Soul Master of the Empire a hundred years ago for his descendant."

"Although it's a long time old and some of the technology is outdated, it's still extremely suitable for you."

"This spear is called the Ice Dragon."

"Its main material is a soul bone produced by an 80,000-year-old ice dragon."

"Furthermore, records indicate that the ice dragon's ice element was close to the ultimate level of ice."

"This is a good match for your attributes."

"And this spear is not something that can only be used when you reach the eighth or ninth ring."

"It can be used from the first ring to the ninth ring."

"Its power increases along with the strength of its master."

"Of course, this growth is also limited, and it will only reach the middle level of level nine melee soul tools at most."

Jing Hongchen handed the spear to Bingdi.

Hyotei frowned, but accepted the offer anyway.

"Thank you, Dean."

Ye Xuanxin thanked her on her behalf.

"No need, no need."

Jing Hongchen waved his hand.

However, it was also very useful.

He suggested these two soul tools to Ye Xuanxin and Ye Bing'er. He put a lot of thought into helping them choose suitable level nine soul tools with appropriate attributes.

"Alright, now that you've obtained the soul tool..."

"Let's go then."

With that, he led the two of them outside.

"Oh, right."

"Xuanxin, His Majesty just said he wants to see you this afternoon."

"You can get ready, a waiter will come to pick you up."

"However, the meeting place should be at the academy, not as far as the palace."

When the emperor arrived at the academy, Jing Hongchen naturally accompanied him, and before leaving, he gave Ye Xuanxin some instructions.

"Understood, Dean."

Ye Xuanxin nodded.

His gaze then fell on Hyotei.

"I just saw Sister Bing'er frown."

"Is it because your spear was made primarily of soul bones that you feel uncomfortable?"

"At most, it's just a bit of 'shared sorrow' or 'misery loves company'."

"Soul beasts also devour and kill each other; I've killed an ice dragon before."

Hyotei shook their head, not paying much attention.

"Hey, are you satisfied with that spear? How was the effect?"

"That's good. If I push it to its full potential, it can probably increase my strength by about five percent."

Five percent may sound like a small amount, but Ice Empress is, after all, a powerful figure close to the Limit Douluo level. Every bit of improvement in her strength is invaluable.

"I see. It seems that soul tools are also very useful for your soul beast race."

"When I reach the ninth level of Soul Mastery in the future, I can make a set of Soul Tools for you and Sister Xue respectively."

"Perhaps this can elevate your strength to another level."

"You still remember me?"

Hyotei glanced at him.

"How could I not think of Sister Bing'er?"

Am I the kind of person who neglects those close to me?

"Tch, who said it was someone close to you?"

Hyotei spoke coldly.

However, I did feel somewhat pleased with it.

No matter what, Ye Xuanxin, that little brat, is at least sincere towards the people around him.

Even though Hyotei hated him very much for this reason.
