Douluo Continent: I got the Sharingan at the start!

Chapter 183 Ah, I'm flying!

Jing Hongchen's facial muscles twitched visibly, and an uncontrollable surge of anger welled up in his heart.

His experience at the Sea God Pavilion was a nightmare, and the sense of powerlessness and humiliation he felt still haunts him.

He had only been inside for a short while, yet Shrek Academy had easily taken away his meticulously arranged level-nine fixed soul tools, which seemed to be a great mockery of his abilities.

Jing Hongchen felt a pang of bitterness in his heart; the fact that he had suffered such heavy losses was like a sharp blade piercing his pride.

Yan Shaozhe knew this perfectly well, yet he insisted on reopening Jing Hongchen's wounds in front of everyone, which intensified Jing Hongchen's anger. He could almost feel his blood surging in his ears.

"I heard that Elder Mu of your esteemed academy has perished in the beast tide?"

He spoke with a forced smile, tinged with a chilling sarcasm.

"Dean Yan, please accept my condolences! It's such a pity that our meeting became our last."

Every word was like a cold knife, as if it were going to cut Yan Shaozhe's sore spot again.

"Among all the titled Douluo I have ever seen, Elder Mu is indeed the most powerful and the most respectable."

Jing Hongchen knew that she was saying this simply to make the other person feel the same pain.

The scene of Shrek Academy encountering the beast tide last time was still vivid in their minds. All the forces on the continent were closely watching that great battle, and they, like everyone else, sent people to observe it.

However, the beast tide came and went quickly; what seemed like a long battle actually lasted no more than a day.

When their scouts arrived at the battlefield, they found Shrek City in half, the devastation of the battle was shocking.

The immense power of Shrek Academy and the Body Sect instilled fear in all factions, while the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest became even more dreaded.

Nowadays, hunters are extremely cautious. Without the protection of a few experts, they dare not enter the mixed zone, for fear of accidentally encountering ferocious beasts and losing their lives.

Yan Shaozhe's face also turned cold. The death of Elder Mu had been a great blow to him, and Jing Hongchen was clearly bringing up a sore spot.

He decided to drop the pretense altogether, tearing away all pretense, and said coldly:

"Dean Hongchen, let's stop talking about these pointless things."

His voice was as piercing as the cold wind, revealing an undisguised anger and disappointment.

Jing Hongchen was slightly taken aback, clearly sensing the coldness in Yan Shaozhe's words.

His eyes flashed, but he quickly regained his usual composure, saying with a hint of mockery:

"Since we've already made an agreement, let's exchange students now."

His tone carried a hint of disdain and provocation.

"On behalf of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, I welcome your students to come and learn."

Hearing Yan Shaozhe's blunt words, Jing Hongchen's expression also darkened.

His lips twitched slightly, and he said with a forced smile:

"Good. I didn't expect Dean Yan to be such a straightforward person."

His words were double-edged, containing both praise and veiled sarcasm.

"We also need Dean Yan to take good care of our students."

Yan Shaozhe looked at Jing Hongchen, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He smiled faintly, but his expression was as cold as ice, and said:

"At least I can guarantee that they will learn something real while they are studying at Shrek."

His voice was firm and powerful.

"The gates of Shrek's inner courtyard will open to them."

He paused slightly, then continued,

We hope that Master Hongchen will also demonstrate sufficient sincerity in this exchange activity.

Jing Hongchen laughed, but his laughter was somewhat stiff and unnatural.

He said, "Of course, the elites from Shrek Academy will definitely receive the best education at Mingde Hall."

His eyes flickered, clearly indicating that he did not fully trust Yan Shaozhe's words.

Yan Shaozhe smiled and said, "In that case, it's a deal."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, a sly glint in his eyes.

Jing Hongchen simultaneously raised his palm to strike him. The two old foxes at least smiled happily on their faces, but what they were really thinking was probably only known to themselves.

Their palms collided in the air, making a crisp sound, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding in that instant.

They both withdrew their hands at the same time, glanced at each other, their smiles unchanged, but their eyes flickered with complex emotions.

This confrontation, on the surface, appeared to be a harmonious exchange, but in reality, it was fraught with undercurrents and filled with a silent contest.

Yan Shaozhe and Jing Hongchen turned around, each pondering their next plan.

Both of them understood that this exchange between students was just the beginning, and the real competition was yet to come.

Under the teacher's guidance, the two switched places, and Xiao Hongchen whispered:

"Brother, I'm leaving now. If you see my sister, please take care of her for me."

"She doesn't get along with other people, and I'm afraid she'll become depressed after I leave."

"if you can."

Han Yu was slightly taken aback. Was Xiao Hongchen being a little too confident in himself?

Was he so sure that his sister would be depressed because he was gone?

He didn't expose it at the moment, but simply nodded and said in a low voice, "Okay."

The students from both sides switched places, with only Yan Shaozhe and Jing Hongchen standing still.

Yan Shaozhe's lips curled into a confident smile, as if everything was under his control, and he said...

"Then, Master of the Red Dust Hall, farewell."

His eyes gleamed with an unfathomable light, as if he were pondering something. Before he finished speaking, he turned and left, his figure gradually disappearing into the distance.

Jing Hongchen watched Yan Shaozhe leave, a complex emotion welling up inside him. He felt that there seemed to be some deeper meaning hidden in Yan Shaozhe's words.

Jing Hongchen sighed softly, composed herself, and then turned to look at Zhang Lexuan and the others led by Qian Duoduo.

His gaze fixed on Zhang Lexuan, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

In his perception, Zhang Lexuan's strength was already at the Soul Douluo level, which made him look at her with new respect.

Although it wasn't much in terms of rank alone, Jing Hongchen was shocked when he considered her age.

"Shrek Academy is truly a place where hidden talents abound."

He thought to himself, "This teacher looks to be no more than twenty years old."

A surge of emotion welled up within him. "I never imagined he was already a Soul Douluo. Given time, he might even reach the Title Douluo level by the age of thirty."

His thoughts continued to expand and deepen with this idea.

"Alas, the Empire's current situation is precarious."

A hint of worry flashed across Jing Hongchen's eyes as he pondered the future of the empire.

"The soul guidance technology is also stuck at a critical point and cannot make any progress, while the court is still indulging in a hedonistic atmosphere."

This made him feel helpless and indignant.

"This is not a good thing for my Hongchen family."

His deepest anxieties grew stronger.

"And now, with the struggle for the throne, it's really getting on my nerves."

Jing Hongchen was filled with countless thoughts. The Sun Moon Empire seemed incredibly powerful, but he knew perfectly well that its apparent strength masked internal turmoil.

"Although our soul tools are among the best, it's all just a facade."

He sighed inwardly, his inner anxiety difficult to calm.

"But what outsiders don't know is that there are also great internal conflicts within the empire."

He felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"It's almost completely chaotic."

He shook his head helplessly, his gaze deep.

"Some people believe that the empire is more than capable of protecting itself, and now it can finally enjoy itself."

Jing Hongchen thought this idea was too naive.

"Another group believes that the conflict between nobles and commoners within the empire is becoming increasingly serious."

His mood grew increasingly heavy. "We should launch a war against the Douluo Three Kingdoms."

He understood that this was only a temporary solution, but it seemed he had no other choice.

"This will alleviate the pressure within their own empire."

His heart was filled with contradictions and struggles, and he didn't know what the future held.

"Master, it's time for us to set off."

Seeing Jing Hongchen standing motionless, the teacher in charge quickly reminded him.

"it is good"

In response, Jing Hongchen smiled slightly, his small eyes narrowing gently as he spoke:

"Everyone, let's go. I am Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, and on behalf of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, I welcome you all."

After saying this, Jing Hongchen also leaped up, and two thin golden lights suddenly unfolded behind him, slowly raising his body.

The flying soul tool used by Jing Hongchen actually looked like a pair of wings, thin and soft, without any metallic feel at all.

A pale golden light flowed above, and no soul power was seen being emitted. It simply stretched gently and carried Jing Hongchen into the air.

This scene immediately stunned the Shrek group.

Compared to the advanced soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire, Shrek Academy's flying soul tools seem like obsolete.

In terms of both style and speed, it lags far behind.

That's an absolute, precipitous difference!

Han Yu glanced around briefly, then took off with the others.

To be honest, Jing Hongchen's flying soul tool is indeed very good.

It was indeed a very advanced soul tool in the Douluo Continent.

Moreover, his soul tool resembles certain animals, and it looks as if it was made by imitating animals.

"What if I hollowed out the interior of the Di Tian Palace and used it to build a spaceship?"

An unrealistic thought flashed through her mind, and Han Yu smiled slightly.

You know what, if Di Tian's dragon body could be used as a soul tool, Han Yu is absolutely certain.

Currently, no soul tool on the mainland can break through his defenses.

Just as Han Yu was lost in thought, she suddenly noticed a gaze directed at her.

It is a mirror reflecting the mortal world.

Han Yu knew without even looking that Xiao Hongchen must have said something to Jing Hongchen before leaving.

Although the master of the Red Dust Hall did not linger his gaze on him for long, he still felt a chill rise from his heart.

From mid-air, Jing Hongchen's voice came: "Young men, we need to hurry, or we won't make it to Mingdu before dark."

As he spoke, the soul tool behind Jing Hongchen suddenly emitted a golden light, enveloping everyone.

Then it grew wildly larger, carrying everyone into the clouds and flying away.

Han Yu's lips twitched slightly; Jing Hongchen was clearly putting on an act.

He didn't have to do that.

But how should I put it?

If you have something good, shouldn't you show it off in a field that others can't reach?

All for that one word: "Awesome!" (voice cracks)

Han Yu smiled helplessly, fully aware of Jing Hongchen's thoughts. She put away the Dragon Cloud Sky-Shaking Wings on her back and sat down cross-legged.

He began to cultivate slowly.

Despite having the system's assistance, Han Yu did not slack off in her cultivation at all.

I practice whenever I have time.

"Everyone, are you adjusting well?"

Jing Hongchen's voice came in.

Fan Yu immediately nodded in praise: "The flying soul tool displayed by the Hall Master of the Red Dust Hall is truly amazing. We never expected that your academy has reached such a level in the research of soul tools."

A strange look flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes, but his face remained humble.

"Sigh, this is only the beginning. When this soul tool can carry people without the soul master consuming soul power, then we will have truly reached the end."

As the two flattered each other, they drew ever closer to the Sun and Moon Empire.

The capital of the Sun Moon Empire is called Sun Moon City, also known as Mingdu. As the political and economic center of the Sun Moon Empire, the city's size completely exceeded the imagination of the Shrek Academy students.

When Han Yu saw the familiar buildings in front of her, a look of reminiscence flashed in her eyes.

"Skyscrapers and buildings everywhere, it's all so familiar."

With a slight sigh, Han Yu knew that he could never go back.

I decided to stop thinking about it.

After entering the Mingdu area, Jing Hongchen's speed slowed down.

After showing everyone the sights of Mingdu, they landed at a large complex of buildings.

"I hope you'll come to love it here over the next two and a half years."

"This is our capital, we call it Mingdu."

"Here, there is no need for city walls. I dare say that even if you combine the capitals of Xingluo, Tianhun, and Douling, they still cannot compare to our Mingdu."

Jing Hongchen's face was full of pride; this was the Sun Moon Empire.

It was already evening, and all sorts of dazzling lights rose from the buildings.

It was truly eye-catching, and even Han Yu was stunned for a moment.

"Cold Rain."

"This place is quite different from your sect and the Body Sect."

Just then, a clear voice rang in Han Yu's mind.

Hyotei!

Han Yu composed herself and asked, "Hyotei, you're awake?"

Hyotei suffered too much damage in that previous battle.

Although she had fully recovered after Han Yu's injury healed.

However, she was usually free of trouble, and there was no heavenly tribulation in her spiritual sea.

All I can do every day is sleep.
