Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 38 38 The Hobby of the Duke’s Daughter

Because Xiao Hongchen had always considered himself second to none and looked down on others as the number one genius of the Sun Moon Empire, the regular members of the Sun Moon Empire began to mutter complaints as they watched Xiao Hongchen defeat Xiao Qiang.

Xiao Hongchen wanted to say something to explain, but he couldn't very well say that he had been beaten twice by Xiao Qiang, one of which was after he had paid money to be beaten.

Thinking that if he were to reveal that matter, these people would probably secretly laugh at him for knowing for so long, Xiao Hongchen remained silent, quietly watching the smile that had been on his face gradually shift to the faces of others.

"Are you alright? That guy Xiao Hongchen was really something, hitting so hard." Meng Hongchen, who was originally going to comfort Xiao Hongchen, came to Xiao Qiang's side and said.

Laughing at the World: "..."

It's one thing for others, they don't know what happened. But don't you know what happened? Were those two beatings of his mild?

Xiao Hongchen cursed inwardly, but thanks to the fact that he had been defeated by Xiao Qiang twice, his mindset had changed. This time, Xiao Hongchen finally did not show all his thoughts on his face.

"I'm fine. Brother Xiao knew how to use his strength."

After being helped up by Meng Hongchen, Xiao Qiang dusted himself off. With his current Soul Venerable level physical attributes, combined with his ability to deflect force and defend with his soul power, it was as if he had only been touched, and there was almost no damage.

After Xiao Qiang changed his clothes, he seemed completely unaffected, as if he had never fought with Xiao Hongchen or been sent flying by Xiao Hongchen's cannon.

Looking at Xiao Qiang's seemingly unharmed appearance, Xiao Hongchen not only lost the joy of defeating Xiao Qiang, but now he even felt as if he had been deceived.

Because he stared at Xiao Qiang for a long time but couldn't see any sign of injury on Xiao Qiang's body, compared to the two times he had been beaten and hospitalized before, and had to wash Meng Hongchen's socks, Xiao Hongchen felt it was unfair no matter how he looked at it.

It wasn't until the sound of a soul-guided camera taking a picture that Xiao Hongchen suddenly sensed something was wrong.

"Meng! What are you doing!"

"Hehe, bro, the way you're so obsessed with Xiao Qiang makes me want to record it."

"Delete the photos!"

"don't want."

When Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen were performing "She Escapes, He Chases, They Can't Escape," Xiao Qiang looked at the white-haired, blue-eyed Meng Hongchen and recalled Meng Hongchen's somewhat yaoi-ish personality in the comics.

Xiao Qiang remembered that when Xiao Hongchen first regarded Huo Yuhao as an opponent, Meng Hongchen said that Xiao Hongchen only had Huo Yuhao in his eyes. He never expected that this matter would now be his turn.

"Alright, you two, that's enough. This time, the leader wants you to get used to this team so that you can face Shrek Academy in the upcoming Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament. Introduce your martial souls and soul skills, and then I'll work on a strategy to deal with Shrek Academy."

After Master Ma finished speaking, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen also stopped. Compared to their arrogance when they first appeared in the original work, Xiao Hongchen was much more restrained now after being beaten.

"Laughing at the Mortal World, my Martial Soul is the Three-Legged Golden Toad. My first Soul Skill is Metal Control, which increases my ability to control metals, enhances the quantity and compatibility of the metals I can control, and increases my affinity with the metal element."

"My second soul ring, Boiling Metal, can put my soul power into a boiling state, increasing the power of soul power used in this state, accelerating the use of other soul skills, greatly increasing my control over metal in a short period of time, allowing me to absorb and control and utilize metal elements in the air, and reducing the consumption of soul power when using soul tools."

"Third Soul Ring: Metal Condensation, which can temporarily condense the controlled metal and metal elements into metal, and can even use mental power to carve the soul guide core to create a temporary soul guide device from the controlled metal and metal elements."

"My fourth soul skill, Sacrifice of Gold, can burn the soul power within my body, greatly increasing the power of my soul tool."

As Xiao Hongchen spoke, seventy-two soul-guided cannons appeared around him in a short time. This was far beyond the limit that a four-ring soul master could achieve, and it was the result of him activating all four of his soul skills at the same time.

"Dream of the Mortal World, Martial Soul: Crimson Ice Toad, First Soul Skill: Ice Toad Poison. Second Soul Skill: Ice Poison Ring. Third Soul Skill: Ice Refraction. Fourth Soul Skill: Ice Feedback."

"Among them, the third soul skill, Ice Refraction, can create an ice mirror for me to teleport. The others are just enhancements to the poison."

Meng Hongchen wielded two swords, and compared to Xiao Hongchen, her description of her soul skills was much simpler.

Finally, there's Xiao Qiang.

"Xiao Qiang, his martial soul is the Sharingan, and his first soul skill is psychological suggestion. It can make people who seem stronger than me look down on me. Of course, in a team battle, it can also make them look down on us, but the premise is that our apparent strength is weaker than theirs."

Ma Rulong and Old Ma nodded in agreement. Xiao Qiang's first soul skill seemed useless, but if they used it in a match against the Shrek Academy team, making Shrek underestimate them first, they could trick them.

Both Elder Ma and Ma Rulong were very satisfied with Xiao Qiang's first soul skill, but Xiao Hongchen frowned.

He strongly suspected that he had been hit by this soul skill the first time he fought Xiao Qiang, which was why Xiao Qiang was able to manipulate him so easily.

"My second soul skill is simulation." Xiao Qiang said, extending his right hand and starting to rotate it. As Xiao Qiang's right hand rotated, one arm after another appeared, just like Nico Robin's ability in One Piece, except that Xiao Qiang's arms were fake.

"This ability can distort light, making it impossible for others to tell whether I'm using a soul skill."

Xiao Hongchen: "..." So you really did set a trap for me back then!

"Finally, there's the third soul skill, Spiritual Detection. However, it seems that due to my martial soul, this soul skill has undergone some mutation. You can feel it for yourselves."

As Xiao Qiang spoke, he activated the mental detection and mental sharing functions of his third soul ring, instantly bringing everything within a 500-meter radius into view.

"This ability!"

Ma Rulong was shocked. As for his teammates, while others might not know what Xiao Qiang's ability meant, how could they, as Soul Masters, not know what it meant?

With this ability, they can achieve perfect accuracy, fully demonstrating the advantages of a Soul Master.

At this moment, they even felt that defeating Shrek Academy might not be an impossible task.

Just as Ma Rulong was about to say something, before he could make a move, Xiao Hongchen had already stepped in front of Xiao Qiang and grasped Xiao Qiang's hand.

"Let's not talk about the past. From now on, you're my brother, Xiao Hongchen. I'll protect you."

"Snap!"

Meng Hongchen pressed the shutter button, capturing the moment when Xiao Hongchen came to Xiao Qiang's side and took his hand. "As expected, my brother treats Xiao Qiang differently."

"Meng! Delete the photos!"
