Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 165 If you don't want to die, get out of the way when the Haotian Sect is handling business.

"You wait... um!"

Before Ling Luochen and Ning Tian could say anything, Xiao Qiang's memory erasure technique was already being used on them.

The two fell asleep instantly, their sleep as peaceful as that of babies, which was the envy of many.

"You acted very quickly, but can simply knocking someone unconscious really erase their memory?" Meng Hongchen, whose memory had not been erased by Xiao Qiang's memory erasure method (physical), said.

"Don't worry, I'm confident in my abilities."

The physical version of the memory erasure method is just a facade. Xiao Qiang can't accurately erase a certain memory with a brick, but mental interference combined with psychological suggestion can make them forget what happened during that time.

After Ling Luochen and Ning Tian woke up, Xiao Qiang said a few simple words to appease them, and the farce ended after he sent them all away.

…………

A secret room in the basement of Mingde Hall.

After asking about Xiao Qiang's current situation, Jing Hongchen went to this secret room.

In the center of the secret room, there is a rectangular metal pillar standing upright, about 1.5 meters high, with something placed on top of it.

It was a wooden tray inlaid with at least one of various gemstones, and a wisp of white air flowed gently across the small wooden tray.

The current of air, though flowing, remained condensed and did not disperse. It seemed to be struggling to break through the encirclement, while the wooden support beneath it continuously emitted a layer of pale golden light that enveloped it during its impact, preventing it from breaking through.

Jing Hongchen watched the mass of energy struggle silently for a long time before finally speaking. "Stop struggling. What's the use of wasting your energy? Even if you scream your lungs out, no soul beast will come to call you."

Looking at the embryonic soul beast, Jing Hongchen's eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction and gain.

The tray in front of him was the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo that Jing Hongchen had spent a fortune to buy for Xiao Hongchen. After this period of examination and exploration, Jing Hongchen had gained a basic understanding of this soul beast embryo. He planned to have Xiao Hongchen fuse with this soul beast embryo when Xiao Hongchen broke through to level 90, so that it would become Xiao Hongchen's soul ring, soul bone, and even second martial soul, allowing his strength to undergo a transformation.

Sensing the soul beast's resentment, Jing Hongchen said with a smile, "I know very well the background of the Starlight Auction House in the Star Luo Empire. The Star Luo royal family put you up for auction simply to create trouble for me, to make me think about whose work this Conferred God Platform is, and at the same time, to use the principle of 'possessing a treasure is a crime' to lure powerful figures from all sides of the continent to attack my Mingde Hall."

"But so what? Let them come. This is actually a test of Mingde Hall's defensive capabilities. The disciples of Mingde Hall shouldn't live too comfortably, should they?"

Jing Hongchen's smile was full of confidence; the massive Mingde Hall, located a hundred meters underground, was the foundation of his confidence. Not to mention, Mingde Hall was equipped with more than a dozen level-nine defensive soul tools. Even a typical Super Douluo would feel his scalp tingle upon coming here, and might even be detained by Mingde Hall.

Unless more than three of the five guardians arrive, Jing Hongchen believes that no force in the world could possibly breach the defenses of Mingde Hall head-on. Furthermore, given that Mingde Hall cannot be destroyed, providing some pressure for the students and teachers to hone their skills is, in Jing Hongchen's view, even a good thing.

"The Star Luo Empire's idea was good, but unfortunately, they miscalculated one thing. You're not some 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, but a soul beast embryo with an age of over 199,999 years. Because you couldn't survive the upcoming heavenly tribulation, you chose to become an embryo, right?"

"Those fools in the Star Luo Empire think they've outsmarted me, but little do they know that I'm the one who's gained the most."

"A spirit ring and spirit bone that are 100,000 years old are enough to make an ordinary person reach the level of a super Douluo of level 95. I really can't imagine what kind of realm my grandson will reach with a spirit ring and spirit bone that are more than 199,999 years old."

"In addition to the second martial soul you might develop, and the existence of talents like Xiao Qiang in the future, my Hongchen family will have two of them at the same time. We have to thank those fools from the Star Luo Empire and you for this."

As Jing Hongchen finished speaking, the soul beast embryo began to rampage even more violently, but the faint halo steadily suppressed its rampage.

"Don't worry, you don't need to be in too much of a hurry. My grandson still needs more than ten years to grow up. You can slowly enjoy these last moments."

The airflow on the tray trembled, as if it had made some kind of decision, and gradually returned to calm.

…………

"Teacher, isn't the defense of Mingde Hall a bit too lax? I've been observing it for a long time now, and I have a feeling that if a real battle breaks out, things could easily go wrong at Mingde Hall."

Half a year after Huo Yuhao arrived at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Xiao Qiang estimated that the Body Sect should be arriving soon, so he planned to remind Jing Hongchen in advance.

"Something's going to happen to Mingde Hall?" Jing Hongchen laughed. "You haven't reached that level yet, so you don't have a concrete understanding of level nine soul tools. With the no less than twenty defensive level nine soul tools in my Mingde Hall, neither Shrek Academy nor the Body Sect has the ability to break into my Mingde Hall."

"My Mingde Hall can easily produce twenty level-nine soul tools comparable to a defensive titled Douluo, but can they produce twenty titled Douluos capable of breaking through level-nine defensive soul tools?"

"Twenty titled Douluo capable of breaking through a level nine defensive soul tool are probably impossible to find even if you search the entire Douluo Continent."

"We have an absolute advantage in both the quantity and quality of our defenses, so there's nothing to worry about."

Xiao Qiang nodded. "It's good that you understand."

Xiao Qiang was just there to offer a reminder. He didn't have much confidence in persuading Jing Hongchen to strengthen the defenses. With Xiao Qiang in control, the losses from the Body Sect's attack wouldn't be too great. If the losses weren't too great, he could teach Jing Hongchen a lesson, which would make it easier for Xiao Qiang to discuss the pile of bombs under the academy with Jing Hongchen later.

Ultimately, it was the pile of bombs beneath the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy that led to the complete downfall of the Red Dust Family.

Just as Jing Hongchen was brimming with confidence that his Mingde Hall was completely safe, an explosion suddenly came from the underground Mingde Hall research room.

"Those who don't want to die, get out of the way of the Haotian Sect!"
