Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 29, Master Jing Hongchen

Xiao Hongchen was so angry on her hospital bed that she was on the verge of a breakdown.

We lost again.

Moreover, this time it wasn't just a matter of losing; more importantly, he got beaten up.

But the thing is, he actually spent 12.3 million gold soul coins to buy that weapon!

Not only did he fail to regain his confidence, he also paid for a beating. No one could accept that!

Xiao Hongchen covered her swollen face, recalling the confident promise she had made earlier...

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Leaving aside my status as a dignified four-ring Soul Master, the number one genius of the Sun Moon Empire, even an ordinary four-ring Soul Master wouldn't be so easily defeated by a Soul Venerable!"

And now he's lying in a hospital bed, taken there by Xiao Qiang. He spent so much money only to get a beating. How big is Xiao Hongchen's psychological trauma right now?

"Ha! I heard you paid for a beating?"

"Damn it! You have to bring up things you don't want to talk about... Grandpa... Grandpa."

Jing Hongchen arrived at Xiao Hongchen's ward, accompanied by a Soul Saint of the Soul Guidance Healing Department. At Jing Hongchen's instruction, Xiao Hongchen's injuries were quickly healed.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"Hmm... After being defeated by Xiao Qiang, I reflected deeply and realized that we should not underestimate our enemies, even if they seem weaker than us."

Jing Hongchen nodded in agreement. This was exactly the effect he wanted. Sure enough, after being defeated, Jing Hongchen was more receptive to what he said.

"I fully understand what you said, Grandpa, but..."

"I, Xiao Hongchen, the number one genius of the Sun Moon Empire, how could I be easily defeated by a three-ring Soul Master? Although it was an accident, I must defeat him to prove that I am the number one genius of the Sun Moon Empire."

"So I approached him to fight him again, but he knew how strong I was, so he didn't intend to fight me at first. It wasn't until we were at the auction that I offered to pay him, and you know what happened next."

After Xiao Hongchen finished speaking, Meng Hongchen poked her head out from behind Jing Hongchen. "So, brother, this is how you pay for beatings."

"Dream, shut up."

"I see. But if you want to fight him, it doesn't have to be that complicated. The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament will start in less than a year. You, Meng, and Xiao Qiang are all people I plan to have in the next All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament."

"Therefore, I plan to let you go and take a look in this year's competition. When you meet the regular team members in a couple of days, there will definitely be a sparring session, and then you will be able to fight Xiao Qiang."

"Really, Grandpa!" Xiao Hongchen clenched his fist. "This time, I will never lose again."

"Pfft, bro, your eyes are so bright when you think of Xiao Qiang."

"You brat." Sensing that Meng Hongchen was thinking in a strange direction, Xiao Hongchen was speechless. When did this younger sister become so yaoi-ish?

"Don't underestimate him. Although he only has three rings, he is still my disciple. He has a high talent and a top-tier spirit-type martial soul. Unless you have a spirit power that can be restrained, you will inevitably be controlled by him if you are not more than two rings higher than him."

"Two rings?" Xiao Hongchen frowned. If he needed to have two more rings than Xiao Qiang to beat him, then what kind of genius was he?

"However, if there is a mental defense type soul tool, Xiao Qiang's ability can be countered. But even the most ordinary soul tool for dealing with mental power needs to be level seven. No one has tried to lower the level further."

"A mental defense type soul tool? Grandpa, teach me how to make it. I must learn how to make that soul tool."

"Okay." Jing Hongchen didn't say anything more. His grandson was starting to work hard, whether it was in terms of Soul Master or Soul Guidance Device. It was enough that he was willing to learn seriously.

…………

Xiao Hongchen was preparing to learn how to make soul tools from Jing Hongchen in order to defeat himself, a fact that Xiao Qiang was unaware of at the time.

Xiao Qiang is currently busy with something else.

Xiao Qiang needed someone to deliver the items he had prepared for Bai Qingshan, the vice dean of the East China Sea Junior Soul Master Academy who had sponsored him, so he approached the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Transport Team.

The Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Transport Corps was almost equivalent to the post office of this era, except that it was equivalent to the post office Xiao Qiang knew in his previous life. As a transport corps under the feudal imperial system, their unreliability was much higher.

As Xiao Qiang entered the gate of the Sun and Moon Royal Transport Corps, the first thing he saw was a few large characters on the wall.

"It is forbidden to beat customers without reason, and even if there is a reason to beat a customer, it is forbidden to beat them to death or maim them."

Xiao Qiang: "..."

This slogan is practically the Soul Master version of Xiao Qiang's previous life during the supply and marketing cooperative era.

What business would beat up a customer without any reason?

Xiao Qiang glanced at the reception windows around him. Seven of them were filled with people cursing and swearing, while only one window was free of such behavior.

Because there was only one person lying there sleeping at that window, and no one came there to do business.

Xiao Qiang thought for a moment, and finally walked up to the person who was sleeping at his workstation.

While in a half-dreaming, half-awake state, Zhang Zhao glanced at Xiao Qiang who was walking over, compared Xiao Qiang's face with those of the important figures he had met before, and confirmed that Xiao Qiang's appearance did not resemble those of the important figures he had met. He was neither the child of any important figure nor the illegitimate son of any important figure.

"Get lost. Go somewhere else if you have something to do. I'm not in the mood to deal with you."

Zhang Zhao displayed the demeanor of a state-owned enterprise employee with a fixed salary, and without saying a word, told Xiao Qiang to get lost.

As a member of the transport team under the feudal imperial system of the extraordinary world, Zhang Zhao's position is not only due to his status as a Soul Master, who has managed to get paid almost effortlessly, but also to some extent, it proves the strength of his family background.

Those who come here and need them to transport goods are almost certainly not high-ranking nobles.

The royal family simply gave them orders, and they got to work. The great nobles, like Mingde Hall, had their own independent transportation channels and didn't need them to do anything.

That's why Zhang Zhao only glanced at Xiao Qiang to confirm that he wasn't some high-ranking nobleman before continuing to sleep with his nose in Xiao Qiang's face.

However, Xiao Qiang glanced at the other seven windows, where not only were people cursing and swearing, but there was also a group of people queuing up. Xiao Qiang didn't want to wait in line, so he chose to walk up to Zhang Zhao instead.

"I need you to fetch some things for me."

"You little brat, you want a beating, don't you! Do you know who my father is?!" Seeing that Xiao Qiang was still being unreasonable and had come looking for him, Zhang Zhao slammed his hand on the table and glared at Xiao Qiang. "My father is the Censor-in-Chief and Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices! Zhang..."

"My revered teacher, Jing Hongchen."

Zhang Zhao: "..."
