Douluo Continent: I got the Sharingan at the start!

Chapter 188 Dream, go and bring Hanyu over to our side!

He thought to himself, "It seems that Shrek Academy does have a unique approach to training its students."

A fleeting hint of approval crossed Jing Hongchen's face, but it was quickly replaced by seriousness.

He turned to Lin Jiayi, raised an eyebrow slightly, and asked in a casual tone:

"What's wrong?"

Lin Jiayi seemed somewhat uncomfortable under Jing Hongchen's gaze, his lips moving slightly as if he was struggling with whether or not to continue speaking.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Jing Hongchen frowned slightly, feeling a bit displeased.

His voice carried a slightly imposing tone.

"Tell me quickly, what happened?"

Lin Jiayi swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly:

"Master, um, the physical fitness tester and strength tester are broken..."

Jing Hongchen stiffened, and her voice rose a few decibels, sounding somewhat shocked and displeased.

Seeing Jing Hongchen's suddenly stern expression, Lin Jiayi became even more nervous. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly explained:

"That's right, Master."

He paused briefly, took a deep breath, and continued:

"While He Caitou from Shrek Academy is quite outstanding, there is another student there who is even more exceptional in terms of Soul Master skills."

Jing Hongchen's expression softened slightly, signaling him to continue.

Lin Jiayi paused, a hint of awe in his eyes:

"His name is Han Yu, and he is a spirit-type soul master."

Jing Hongchen nodded, indicating that he understood.

Lin Jiayi continued, "His strength is at the Soul King level, but his physical attributes are comparable to a Soul Douluo."

Jing Hongchen frowned, sensing that things might be more serious than he had anticipated.

Lin Jiayi added, "Moreover, it seems that he possesses some kind of precious treasure, which caused our testing equipment to display garbled data and become unusable."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but sigh softly, feeling both shocked and somewhat helpless.

Lin Jiayi's voice grew softer and softer: "During the strength test, he smashed our strength testing device to pieces with just one punch, leaving only a few fragments. As for the last test, it was much more normal in comparison."

The more Lin Jiayi spoke, the darker Jing Hongchen's face became.

Others may not know the cost of these two soul tools, but surely he knows it himself?

Generally speaking, the production cost of such functional soul tools is much higher.

It requires a great deal of precise calculations and its materials are also very special.

Even the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy doesn't have many of these soul tools.

A look of pain flashed across Jing Hongchen's face, and he sighed inwardly.

He'll just have to swallow this loss himself; after all, he can't go looking for trouble with Shrek Academy. It's not a huge deal, but it's not insignificant either.

Jing Hongchen didn't want to completely offend Shrek Academy.

What kind of monster is this? It managed to destroy his soul tool.

"etc?"

Jing Hongchen suddenly waved his hand in the air, signaling Lin Jiayi to stop his topic.

"You said the student who broke the testing device was named Han Yu?"

His voice unconsciously rose a octave, his brows furrowed, and his expression gradually shifted from surprise to deep thought.

He had felt the name sounded familiar, and now he finally remembered. His fingers tapped unconsciously on the table, as if he was trying hard to recall something.

Seeing this, Lin Jiayi nodded and added:

"His name is Hanyu. Judging from his appearance, he shouldn't be very old."

He scratched his head slightly, seemingly unsure of his memory.

"Isn't he very handsome, with black hair, and very...unique?"

When Jing Hongchen said this, his expression was somewhat confused, as if he was trying hard to remember.

He hesitated for a moment, then stood up from his chair, walked to the window and looked outside, his thoughts drifting back to the time after that competition.

At that time, when his granddaughter Meng Hongchen returned, she mentioned a very talented young man, and this was exactly what she said when describing Han Yu's appearance.

Lin Jiayi looked at Jing Hongchen in surprise, his eyes filled with doubt and curiosity.

"Master, do you know this student? Is this the one you described?"

Upon hearing Lin Jiayi's confirmation, Jing Hongchen's expression immediately darkened.

He frowned, and suddenly made a decision in his mind.

"He's not from Shrek Academy, we've been tricked."

Lin Jiayi was somewhat surprised:

"No way, Master, I saw him come with Shrek Academy."

Jing Hongchen turned around and stood there without saying a word, seemingly deep in thought.

After a long pause, he finally made up his mind and said firmly:

"Alright, Jiayi, you can go out now. I need to think about how to handle this."

He suddenly stopped, turned around to face Lin Jiayi, and looked serious.

"Pay special attention to that guy named He Caitou. As for Han Yu, I'll take care of him personally."

His voice gradually lowered, as if he were deep in thought.

Then he waved his hand, "Oh, right, go and call Meng here."

Although he didn't understand what it meant, Lin Jiayi still wisely left.

He knew that if Jing Hongchen didn't tell him, then this was something he shouldn't know, and staying here would only lower his image in Jing Hongchen's eyes.

Watching Lin Jiayi's disappearing figure, Jing Hongchen's brows furrowed slightly, and a nameless worry welled up in her heart.

He slowly walked to the center of the hall and sat down on a chair.

There, he could think and observe more effectively. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, each soft sound seeming to echo the unease and schemes in his heart.

His gaze wandered through the empty hall, as if searching for some kind of answer.

"Han Yu, a student of Shrek Academy and a member of the Body Sect."

He repeated himself to himself, his voice filled with inquiry and doubt.

"Interesting, could it be that they've joined forces?"

His voice lowered, almost a murmur.

"But as far as I know, the Body Sect and Shrek Academy aren't exactly on good terms."

Jing Hongchen stroked her chin, her thoughts a jumbled mess.

He naturally knew about Han Yu; the boy's information was like a wordless book, which he had read countless times.

The Sun Moon Empire's intelligence network is still very powerful.

As the champion of the Soul Master Competition, Han Yu's information has long been on the desks of various forces.

If it were just a Body Sect member, Jing Hongchen wouldn't be so wary.

But if Shrek Academy and the Body Sect join forces, then things will be troublesome.

His eyes sharpened as he silently weighed the pros and cons of everything.

Although I know the chances are slim, what if they are?

Various scenarios unconsciously formed in his mind.

Jing Hongchen's ability to become the head of Mingde Hall is undeniable, but his mind is also extremely meticulous.

At times like these, any small detail can be the key to success or failure.

The fact that Han Yu appeared at Shrek Academy at this time made him think twice.

"Should we take this opportunity to..."

His words suddenly stopped, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

The next moment, his figure vanished as if he had never existed.

"That's not appropriate. A single cold rain poses no threat whatsoever to my Sun Moon Empire."

He tried to reassure himself and suppress the restless emotions.

"However, if we expose the poisoner behind him, that would be a huge problem."

His brows furrowed again, his heart filled with worry.

"I wonder what kind of opportunity that old monster obtained to actually break through to the Limit Douluo level."

Jing Hongchen sighed inwardly, wondering if everything would be different if he also possessed the strength of a Limit Douluo.

"If I also had the strength of a Limit Douluo, our Red Dust Clan might be able to rise in status."

His heart was filled with longing and resentment, and this emotion made his eyes even more determined.

"Even that position isn't impossible."

His mind raced, planning possible future routes.

Why continue to be used as a pawn like this?

Jing Hongchen sighed inwardly. In the end, the Douluo Continent was all about strength.

Without strength, one can only submit to others, and there's nothing one can do about it.

He felt a wave of powerlessness, as if the whole world was oppressing him.

"grandfather."

"You were looking for me?"

A woman's voice rang out, clear and bright, as melodious as a spring stream, interrupting Jing Hongchen's reverie.

A white-haired girl wearing the uniform of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy smiled, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and vitality, her smile as radiant as summer flowers.

Meng Hongchen walked quickly toward Jing Hongchen. Her steps were light, as if she did not touch the ground. Her white hair shimmered silver in the sunlight, making her look like a fairy under the moonlight.

Her appearance was like a ray of light shining into Jing Hongchen's gloomy heart.

When Jing Hongchen saw her, the gloom in his heart seemed to be swept away instantly, and his gaze softened as he looked at the girl.

"Meng, you're here. Come sit next to Grandpa."

Jing Hongchen's voice was warm and comforting, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, a joy that came from the bottom of his heart.

He moved a chair to the side and gestured to Meng Hongchen with a gentle gesture, like willow catkins brushing against a spring breeze.

Meng Hongchen smiled and walked towards the chair, her face filled with curiosity. She didn't understand why her grandfather wanted to see her at this time.

She had just sat down when Jing Hongchen said:

"Han Yu has come to our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

Jing Hongchen's words drifted softly into her ears.

Meng Hongchen, who had just sat down, paused slightly, her heart seemingly skipping a beat when she heard Han Yu's name.

A blush instantly appeared on her cheeks, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes—an emotional turmoil stirred by the sudden news.

The blush on her face was like a newly blossoming flower, both shy and beautiful.

She said somewhat urgently:

"He's here? Where is he?"

Her voice was filled with undisguised excitement and anticipation; every word seemed to leap from her heart.

Jing Hongchen was slightly taken aback. Why was Meng Hongchen so excited when she heard that Han Yu had arrived?

Could there be some secret he doesn't know about?

Suppressing her curiosity, Jing Hongchen said calmly:

"He participated in this exchange with our academy on behalf of Shrek Academy."

"Dream, I ask you, how much do you really know about him?"

Upon hearing this, a look of reminiscence flashed across Meng Hongchen's face. It was a day she would never forget, a day spent alone with Han Yu in that room.

"Han Yu is very handsome and cool. He is the most good-looking boy I have ever seen."

Without thinking, Meng Hongchen blurted it out, her eyes sparkling.

"Cough cough."

Jing Hongchen almost choked on the tea he had just drunk, and his facial muscles twitched violently.

Looking at Meng Hongchen, who was displaying a fangirl-like expression, he frowned slightly.

"Dream, I didn't ask you to say whether he's handsome or not."

"That man wasn't handsome when he was young. Back in the day, I was one of the most handsome men at our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

"It's just that my sleep schedule became irregular and I stayed up late every day, which led to this condition."

"Ahem, we've gone off on a tangent."

Facing Meng Hongchen's suspicious gaze, Jing Hongchen coughed lightly and said in a serious tone:

"I want you to tell me what kind of person he is, what his characteristics are, such as whether he values ​​relationships, and how capable he is."

Having been through it all, Jing Hongchen understood perfectly well what was going on when she saw Meng Hongchen like this; the young girl had probably fallen deeply in love.

"oh."

Meng Hongchen snapped out of her daze and stuck out her tongue a little embarrassedly:

"His strength... when we competed, he was probably around level three, but his soul power should be around level forty."

"I don't know why I didn't go hunting for spirit rings."

"His martial soul is his eyes, and he has a very powerful soul skill. My brother and I couldn't beat him even with our martial soul fusion skill."

"As for his character, I think he's pretty good."

Meng Hongchen thought for a moment and then said this.

Jing Hongchen sighed inwardly. This was as good as saying nothing; it turned out that Meng Hongchen herself thought so.

Couldn't you be a little more objective? This makes it hard for him to decide where to start.

He had a slight understanding of Han Yu's strength.

But that's not what he wanted to hear.

"By the way, there's one thing about him."

"Oh? What's wrong?"

Jing Hongchen was overjoyed; Meng Hongchen had finally given him the answer he wanted.

"He's so young, and he's already dating. I haven't even dated yet."

Meng Hongchen said with a dissatisfied look on her face, her expression full of indignation.

"I knew it. Sure enough, my expectations were too high."

Jing Hongchen put her hand to her forehead, feeling somewhat uneasy.

The two siblings were both quite eccentric, which really gave their grandfather a lot of headaches.

Ok?

fall in love?

Jing Hongchen's eyes suddenly fixed on Meng Hongchen, and a brilliant plan formed in his mind.

If we can start from here and bring the Body Sect into the Sun Moon Empire, it's not impossible.

As the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Body Sect would certainly not be friends with them.

But the next generation will be different.

If he remembered correctly, Han Yu was still the young sect master of the Body Sect.

In that case, the plan seems to have achieved some success.

"Dream, you like Hanyu, don't you?"

Jing Hongchen smiled slightly and said with great certainty.
