Douluo Continent: I Can Summon Heroic Spirits

Chapter 89 The Sun and Moon, Spinning Like Tops for Thousands of Years by Shrek Academy

Ye Chenxing looked at everyone and explained, "The Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass was a celestial product that Tang San consumed ten thousand years ago. The Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Crystal condenses the essence of the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass's cultivation over ten thousand years, making it an extremely rare top-tier celestial product. The purity and concentration of energy contained within it even surpasses that of the Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Marrow."

"Carrying this thing with you can greatly increase your cultivation speed; if you embed it in a weapon, it can instantly give any metal the power of ultimate ice; and if you choose to consume it, it will naturally have a miraculous effect of transformation, and may even be sublimated into ultimate ice."

At this point, Ye Chenxing changed the subject: "However, only ice-attribute Soul Masters are qualified to attempt refining it."

Upon hearing Ye Chenxing's introduction, everyone in the office turned their heads and focused their attention on Meng Hongchen.

After all, she was the only ice-attribute soul master among those present.

Before Meng Hongchen could speak, Ye Chenxing flipped his hand again, and a small piece of reddish-brown gelatinous substance appeared in his other hand.

As soon as this thing came out, the biting chill from before was instantly dispelled.

"This is another divine plant, the fiery apricot, delicate and scorching resin."

Ye Chenxing looked at the red colloid in his hand and said calmly, "Don't underestimate this small piece. If there's enough of it, it can directly transform a fire-attribute soul master into the ultimate fire."

After speaking, Ye Chenxing raised his head and looked directly at Meng Hongchen, his meaning self-evident.

Meng Hongchen's heart skipped a beat. She took a deep breath, stepped in front of Ye Chenxing, and looked at him with brimming eyes.

"Thank you, Morning Star."

"Don't mention it, consider it a return gift for the level 5 soul tool pendant you gave me."

Ye Chenxing handed over the ice crystals and scorching glue, gently instructing, "This is a specially prepared ratio for you. Your Zhu Qing Ice Toad Martial Soul already possesses both ice and fire elements, so it should be perfectly compatible with your absorption. After absorption, your ice and fire poison will undergo a complete sublimation."

Meng Hongchen carefully accepted the two treasures, her head bowed, lost in thought.

Suddenly, she abruptly stood on tiptoe and quickly pecked Ye Chenxing on the cheek.

Then, under the stunned gazes of everyone in the room, the young lady blushed and, like a frightened little rabbit, turned and ran out of the office.

Ye Chenxing smiled slightly.

He raised his hand and touched his cheek, which was still warm.

Do all the girls in Douluo Continent like to launch surprise attacks?

Watching this scene, Jing Hongchen felt a mix of emotions.

A daughter is like a tree that grows up and cannot be kept at home.

However, looking back on the past few months, he had seen his granddaughter become increasingly depressed, but he didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the young people.

Now that Meng Hongchen has finally resolved her inner conflict and bravely taken this step, he, as her grandfather, can finally feel a great sense of relief.

Just as the atmosphere in the office was becoming a little awkward, Xiao Hongchen rubbed his hands together and awkwardly approached.

"Uh... Brother Morning Star."

Ye Chenxing glanced at him sideways: "Speak."

"Um—" Xiao Hongchen looked at him expectantly, "Where's mine? Is this the gift you mentioned before?"

"You? Meng Ke gave me a pendant she made herself. What gift did you give me? Tell me about it." Ye Chenxing crossed her arms.

"Th-that—"

After holding it in for a long time, Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth, pointed to his lips, and tentatively asked.

"Then how about—me too?"

"Get out! Get out! Get out!"

Ye Chenxing was speechless, but he kicked her while laughing and cursing.

Then, Ye Chenxing stopped teasing him and took out a huge chrysanthemum from the plane. The chrysanthemum had a strange color all over its body, and each petal was fluffy, making it look extremely luxurious.

"The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, when consumed, circulates Qi throughout the limbs and unblocks the eight meridians, enabling one to cultivate an indestructible body."

Ye Chenxing tossed the immortal herb into Xiao Hongchen's arms and casually explained, "Dai Mubai, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger from the original Shrek Seven Devils ten thousand years ago, consumed this immortal herb. Since you are of the metal element, consuming it might directly help you break through that barrier and reach the ultimate metal realm."

"Here you go. Just tear off the petals one by one when you eat it."

Xiao Hongchen hurriedly caught the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, his earlier embarrassment vanishing instantly, and he couldn't help but chuckle foolishly.

"Morning Star, you're the best!"

After Xiao Hongchen left happily with the immortal herb, only Ye Chenxing and the two elders remained in the office.

Ye Chenxing looked at Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming, and sighed with some regret: "Unfortunately, the effect of immortal herbs is to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the vital energy. They are more effective for younger people and those with lower cultivation levels. You two are already titled Douluo, and your bodies have long been formed. Even if you take these immortal herbs, the effect will be negligible."

Kong Deming waved his hand, his expression very calm: "We are all old bones with one foot in the grave. It would be a waste to have these rare and precious materials. They are utterly useless."

After a pause, Kong Deming gave Ye Chenxing a deep look and asked, "I just wonder, is there anything we old men can do to help you with your divine test?"

Ye Chenxing shook his head and said seriously, "Besides improving my cultivation step by step, the most important thing for me now is to spread the concept and products of the Star Tower more widely across the continent."

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Kong Deming's eyes as he said, "Is it for that legendary—power of faith?"

Ye Chenxing was slightly startled and looked at Kong Deming with surprise. He hadn't expected that Elder Kong would even know this.

Seeing his expression, Kong Deming nodded and explained, "Ever since you expressed your ambition to become a god last time, I have specially asked someone to look through the ancient books that were originally from the Douluo Three Kingdoms."

"As mentioned above, before the Shrek Seven Devils ascended ten thousand years ago, the earlier gods followed the path of collecting the power of faith to become gods. However, the ancient books are incomplete and do not specify the exact methods."

Kong Deming stroked his beard and chuckled, "Now it seems that you did indeed build the Star Tower for this purpose. Go ahead and do it. I will give the order when I get back that Mingde Hall will allocate twice as many resources to the Star Tower."

"Actually, if we want to expand the influence of the Star Tower, there is an excellent opportunity right now," Jing Hongchen suddenly interjected.

He looked at Ye Chenxing and analyzed carefully: "Although the Star Tower is spreading very quickly now, with the technological achievements you have put forward, it is only a matter of time before it becomes the number one in the continent."

"But this step-by-step development is ultimately too slow. Coupled with the deliberate defense and suppression from the original Three Kingdoms, the resistance is actually quite significant. However, we will soon be hosting a grand event that will attract attention across the entire continent, which would be perfect for publicity."

"Does the Master mean—the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Battle Tournament?"

"Exactly." Jing Hongchen slapped his thigh. "With your strength, plus Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Gu Yue, and Gu Yeqiu, as long as your lineup appears, it will definitely shock the entire continent. At that time, won't the name of the Star Tower be able to be promoted however we want?"

Ye Chenxing nodded thoughtfully: "It is indeed a good idea."

Seeing Ye Chenxing nod in agreement, Jing Hongchen was overjoyed.

Finally! He finally saw hope of defeating Shrek Academy! For thousands of years, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had been practically whipped around like a top by Shrek Academy, generation after generation. He had been holding this grudge for far too long.

"In that case, do I still need to pick a few more top students from the academy to make up the numbers? Logically speaking, at your current age, you can only be considered as the reserve team, but if I give the word, it's perfectly fine for you to directly enter the main team."

However, Ye Chenxing shook his head.

"No need, we can be the reserve team."

"And don't worry, Master, maybe before the competition starts, we'll have a few more unexpected candidates on our side."
