Chapter 23 Miss Dream is the cutest in the world (Please add to your favorites and read on)

"How are you in combat?" Jing Hongchen asked after confirming the relationship between the two.

"In terms of combat, I should be alright. I should be fine among those of the same level. With the dynamic vision of the Sharingan, I can even clearly capture the movements of people who are much stronger than me."

"Oh? Dynamic vision? That's quite an ability. In that case, make some preparations. I'll arrange for you to have a level 4 Soul Master, a four-ring Soul Master, as your opponent to test your strength."

"Okay, teacher."

Because spirit beasts are scarce in the Sun Moon Empire, it is impossible for them to do something as extravagant as Shrek Academy using spirit beasts as assessment targets for students.

However, while there were no soul beasts, there were plenty of soul masters. After Jing Hongchen gave the order, a fourth-level soul master of the fourth ring soul sect soon arrived at the training ground.

After Tianmeng finished preparing the soul tool, Xiao Qiang went to the opposite side of the fourth-level soul master.

"Both parties share the same name."

"Xiao Qiang, a level 35 Soul Master support-type Soul Instructor."

"Li Zihao, Level 46 Power Attack Soul Instructor."

"The match begins."

As the referee gave the order, Li Zihao looked at Xiao Qiang with disdain.

With a soul power eleven levels higher than Xiao Qiang's, the psychological suggestion effect of three thousand years can be said to be twice as effective with half the effort.

If Jing Hongchen hadn't been watching from above, Li Zihao might have directly made sarcastic remarks at that moment.

Although he didn't make any sarcastic remarks, his advantage in soul power, combined with the effect of psychological suggestion, made him completely disregard Xiao Qiang.

"Young man, you should go down. With a spirit ring and an eleven-level difference in spirit power, you'll be badly beaten by me."

As Li Zihao spoke, Xiao Qiang quickly approached him. Relying on his simulated soul skill, Li Zihao couldn't see any problem with him at all.

After Xiao Qiang closed the distance to a certain point, a level-four soul tool behind him suddenly activated, and the powerful propulsion allowed Xiao Qiang to get close to Li Zihao in an instant.

By the time Li Zihao realized something was wrong, it was too late to retrieve his soul tool. As expected, he was sent flying by Xiao Qiang's punch, without even having a chance to release his soul ring and martial soul. Until he was knocked away, he was in a completely dazed state.

"Master, this...should we have them compete again?"

Jing Hongchen carefully examined Xiao Qiang for a while. "Let's find someone else."

"Yes."

Before long, another level four soul master came to Xiao Qiang, but the result was exactly the same as that of Li Zihao before.

"Master..."

"No need to change anyone, call Xiao Qiang over."

"Yes."

Xiao Qiang was quickly summoned before Jing Hongchen. "Tell me, it doesn't seem normal that they all chose to underestimate you."

"Teacher, this is my first soul skill, Psychological Suggestion. It can influence soul masters or soul instructors with weaker mental strength than me to a certain extent."

"Sure enough, but I didn't see your spirit rings light up. What's going on?"

"That's my second soul skill, Simulation, which allows me to make others see a false presence within a certain range. That's why I can suddenly appear near them."

"Very good, those are two decent soul skills. Jingyun, go and call Xiao over, but don't tell him what I want with him."

"Yes, Master."

The middle-aged man, whom Jing Hongchen called Jing Yun, agreed and went to find Xiao Hongchen. Then, Jing Hongchen once again turned his attention to Xiao Qiang.

"Xiao Hongchen is my grandson. I will arrange for him to fight you later. Don't treat him like you did the other two."

"Don't worry, teacher. I wasn't sure how much force I needed to knock someone away, but now I know what I'm doing. Controlling the force I use shouldn't be a problem."

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was, don't hit them as lightly as you hit them both. Hit them with the force that would keep them in bed for days."

"Huh?" Xiao Qiang was taken aback and didn't quite understand what Jing Hongchen meant, but fortunately Jing Hongchen explained it to him.

"When my grandson was six years old, he awakened the divine beast Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul. He was born with full soul power. In addition, more than a year ago, he absorbed an eight-thousand-year-old soul ring as his fourth soul ring, which made him increasingly arrogant and think he was invincible among his peers."

"It's good to be confident, but Xiao is a bit too arrogant now. I'm worried that one day in the future, he will make a fatal mistake because of his arrogance. But the thing is, no one his age has been able to beat him before. This makes me agree to whatever I say to him, but in reality, he doesn't listen to anything at all."

"People can't teach you everything, but you can learn it in one go. So I need you to trick him this time and let him know what the consequences of underestimating others will be."

"Go ahead and hit him hard later, make him feel the pain. Only when he feels pain will he learn his lesson. Then I can talk to him, and he'll listen to me. Do you understand?"

"Understood."

"Yes, I understand. Don't feel guilty. Fight as much as you want, as long as you don't kill anyone. The harder you fight, the better. If necessary, I'll ask the Imperial Physician Douluo. I still have that much influence."

After Jing Hongchen finished speaking with Xiao Qiang, a while later Xiao Hongchen, with white hair and heterochromatic eyes, walked in. Beside him was a white-haired, blue-eyed girl who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old. Obviously, she was Xiao Hongchen's younger sister, Meng Hongchen.

The moment Xiao Qiang saw Meng Hongchen, with her white hair, blue eyes, and appearance of about thirteen or fourteen years old, and with a powerful grandfather, he was immediately reminded of a game called Honkai Impact 3 from his previous life.

The little girl inside, who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, also had white hair and blue eyes, and had a grandfather who held a high position of power. However, she was over forty years old. Even so, she chose to call herself the cutest girl in the world.

Suddenly, Xiao Qiang felt he couldn't look Meng Hongchen in the eye anymore.

"Wow, Grandpa, where did you find this handsome young man? Hello, my name is Meng Hongchen, what's your name?"

Just as Xiao Qiang was getting the wrong idea, Meng Hongchen appeared in front of him.

"My name is Xiao Qiang. Hello, Miss Meng."

"I noticed you seemed to remember something when you saw me. What was it? Could you tell me?"

"Um...it's nothing, it's just that when I saw Miss Yume, I was reminded of a certain world's cutest person."

"Oh? The cutest in the world? Let me guess, the cutest person in the world must be very smart too."

Xiao Qiang thought for a moment, then nodded. "She is indeed quite wise." After all, Deli is known as the great shrewd one.

Meng Hongchen covered her mouth and chuckled softly, while Xiao Hongchen had already arrived in front of Jing Hongchen. "Grandpa, what did you want to see me about?"

Jing Hongchen pointed at Xiao Qiang. "I've recently taken on a disciple. You two should spar. Be careful, although his soul power is only level 35, he has already defeated a level 4 soul master."

Hearing Jing Hongchen's words, Xiao Hongchen smiled contemptuously. "Hmph, a mere Three-Soul Soul Venerable isn't worth my time."

"I told you, don't treat him like a Three-Soul Soul Master. He's very strong, and you might lose."

"Hmph, what a joke. Do you think I, Xiao Hongchen, could lose to a three-soul Soul Master? If I lost to him, I'd wash Meng's socks for a year," Xiao Hongchen said confidently.
