Peerless: The Evil Soul Master's Guide to Saving the World

Chapter 17: Assessment from Jing Hongchen? Hell-level difficulty?

"An Yin."

Xu Cheng hesitated for a long time before he slowly spoke.

The next moment, in the corner of the experimental area, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

"His Royal Highness the Holy Son..."

The black shadow was as thick as a pool of ink and quickly gathered, changing from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, forming a phantom.

It was a Soul Saint who was the leader of a branch of the Holy Spirit Sect in a nearby town whom he had recruited. His martial soul was a shadow, and his strength was much weaker than that of Soul Saints of the same level, but he came and went without a trace, especially at night, when he was extremely fast and could travel thousands of miles at night.

Xu Cheng kept it with him all the time, using it as a means of communication.

"Go to the border between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and find the commander of the fourth battalion, Huo Qing, in the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group. Give this letter to her. If anyone blocks your way, tell them my name."

"Yes……"

An Yin was completely hidden under a black robe, so his face and expression could not be seen clearly.

His voice was hoarse and crisp.

Then it turned into a pool of ink and slowly disappeared into the shadows...

The Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Corps is one of the Four Beast Divisions of the Sun-Moon Empire, except for the Sun-Moon Empire Royal Soul Instructor Corps. Every division commander is a ninth-level soul instructor, and its division commander, Fire Phoenix Douluo, is one of them.

The maid left by his mother served as the commander of one of the four battalions under the Soul Instructor Corps. Each battalion commander was an eighth-level soul instructor and was considered the core force of the entire division.

Even though he is only the battalion commander, each battalion is equipped with at least four hundred soul engineers. These soul engineers are the elite among the elite. It is said that the lowest one is above the fifth level, and there are quite a few at the sixth and seventh levels. It can be seen how powerful they are.

Although he had just traveled through time, he had seen her once when she was still an infant, and had not seen her again for more than ten years.

But we kept in touch through letters.

At least the other party still paid close attention to her, and sent her a lot of resources every year. Some of them would cost even an eighth-level soul master like her a lot of money...

So at least for now, it seems that this person's care for me is more like the care of a relative or elder.

As for the orange, Xu Cheng pursed his lips slightly.

He just asked Huo Qing to keep an eye out, so that if he came across it, he could intercept it in advance.

Even if he couldn't meet her, according to the original storyline, Juzi would come to the Sun Moon Empire Royal Academy and study with Xuan Ziwen. He only needed to stay in the academy and wait...

Anyway, she can't run away.

"start!"

Xu Cheng put away his thoughts, rolled up his sleeves and started working.

He took out the dagger given by Bai Tian Meng Hong Chen from the soul guide storage device and placed it on the operating table.

Simply fix it and start parsing.

As for why he is so enthusiastic, there is naturally a purpose.

What he lacks most at the moment is official support, Jing Hongchen, Mr. Kong, and Mr. Cheng who teaches history are all fine. Only by analyzing the seventh-level soul guide core and showing even more abnormal talents can he gain these people's attention.

He was sure that Master Cheng had noticed his performance these days, not to mention Jing Hongchen. Almost all of his "people" were around him, including the class teacher Lin Jiayi, Xiao, and the Meng siblings...

But he held it back, probably still struggling and hesitating.

After all, my identity is very sensitive. Once someone approaches me, it means choosing a side. They are all thousand-year-old foxes with a keen political sense.

Even this seventh-level soul guide might not be a test for Jing Hongchen. Although Meng Hongchen did not reveal how he broke it, a seventh-level soul guide made by a ninth-level soul guide, the head of Mingde Hall, one of the top few soul guide researchers in the Sun Moon Empire, for his granddaughter could be broken by a great soul master who is not even a soul master. Doesn't this prove something...

"..."

After a long time, Xu Cheng let out a long breath.

His forehead was covered with sweat. Even with the bugs given by the system and his proficiency in analysis, it was not easy at all to analyze this seventh-level soul guide.

His mental strength was almost drained, even a little overdrawn.

Day n of daydreaming...

Suddenly, a towel gently wiped away the sweat on his forehead. Xu Cheng glanced beside him and saw that it was Nana. A trace of heartache flashed in the little girl's eyes.

Smiling at each other, it wasn't that bad, at least there was someone to keep me company...

Xu Cheng let out a sigh of relief and continued to devote himself to his research.

The analysis is complete, but there are still many problems to be faced.

The seventh-level soul guide was the highest-level soul guide he had ever come into contact with. The sophistication of the core formation was far beyond his imagination. On the metal block that seemed to be only the size of a plate, there were densely packed runes left behind.

There is much more to it than the structure of a third-level soul guide. It also includes the power composition of soul guides from level one to level seven, how to better allow the controller to use them, and how to complete the test and seal higher-level soul guides. It is necessary to gradually restore the seal as the strength increases...

Xu Cheng's scalp tingled when he saw it.

It's like a student who just graduated from high school and got a doctoral thesis. The knowledge of soul guides involved in it is enormous...

I'm afraid even if a fifth or sixth level soul engineer from Mingde Hall comes here, he may not be able to do it.

It even made Xu Cheng doubt his own guess. Would this really be a test?

Is there such a test?
But Xu Cheng did not give up. Instead, he spent his time in the library and the experimental area, researching day and night...

……

Mingde Hall.

This is a spacious hall with walls, floor and ceiling all shining with metallic luster, like a metal fortress. Right above the entrance of the hall hangs a plaque: Mingde Hall!
"You said... you made a mistake?" Jing Hongchen sat in the second seat, looking at Old Cheng who was sitting in the main seat with his mouth wide open and a wry smile on his face.

"Yes, I originally only intended to tamper with the fourth-level soul guide in Xiao Meng's soul guide. All the errors can be repaired by successfully modifying the fourth-level soul guide, but... I replaced a part that connects the various levels by mistake, so now, if I want to make the soul guide work, I need to overturn and rebuild everything, which is equivalent to... starting from scratch."

The old man shook his head helplessly.

The main reason was that these two people didn't want Xu Cheng to discover the heresy, so even Meng Hongchen was unaware of it. Everything was done quietly in an instant during class.

So even though he was a ninth-level soul master, he was unable to control the strength...

"This……"

Jing Hongchen also hurriedly comforted him, "After all, it was me who proposed this matter. I wanted to test that kid to see what level he is at. I troubled you to take action... Besides, let's just consider this as a mistake. If that kid can't figure it out, he will definitely give up automatically..."

Mr. Cheng shook his head.

"Actually, I am also very interested in it, otherwise I would not accept your proposal."

"I am also very curious about this prince..."

"It just so happens that there is still one month left before the final exams of the academy. It will be a good opportunity to observe again then."

"It can only be done this way..."
