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

Chapter 202: Shrek can brainwash people, but my Sun-Moon Empire can’t?

"Brother Cheng~"

Inside Mingde Hall.

Meng Hongchen pulled his arm reluctantly, mumbling a little and acting coquettishly with some reluctance.

There was no reason and no purpose, she just wanted Xu Cheng to stay with her for a while longer, like a young couple who just fell in love, always wanting to find an opportunity to stick together, even if they were talking about the most unpleasant things, they could still talk with relish.

"No classes this afternoon?"

The two were in Mingde Hall, and the actual control center was Lin Jiayi's laboratory.

However, at this moment, the empty laboratory was deserted. Seeing the two of them being so affectionate with each other, the latter slipped away as soon as possible.

Wang Qiuer also ran to Old Cheng's laboratory, not to fulfill her duties as an inspector, but simply because she was extremely concerned about it. She even asked several times whether her blood and essence were needed, which made Old Cheng feel a little emotional. This girl has a sincere heart.

"Yes~ and it's a practical class." Meng Hongchen looked around furtively, then came to the door of the laboratory and closed it. Then he put his hands behind his back, skipped to Xu Cheng and pressed him into his seat.

"As for the practical class... you should have a good rest." Xu Cheng's mouth twitched.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Meng Hongchen gathered her skirt, sat astride Xu Cheng's legs, and a smile appeared on her pretty face.

With a rustling sound, she held up Xu Cheng's face with slender hands and began to nibble on it impatiently.

Xu Cheng: “…”

With a beautiful woman in my arms, with her warmth and fragrance, these things were unattainable in my previous life, but now I live freely and comfortably in this life.

"Why don't I take this opportunity to collect some interest? What if you can't be found again?" A few minutes later, Meng Hongchen panted, slowly raised her head, her pretty face flushed, and tapped Xu Cheng's chest with her fingertips.

Xu Cheng's throat rolled. He didn't know where this little girl learned all this from. She was indeed as charming as a fox.

Especially the pair of narrow and beautiful eyes, looking down at oneself from top to bottom, giving people a kind of... indescribable pleasure.

Meng Hongchen gently wiped her tender red lips, her eyes as charming as silk.

Looking at Xu Cheng with a somewhat obsessed look in his eyes, he felt even happier.

Sure enough, what the magazine said was right, men all like this...

She also specially selected the latest weekly magazine of [Sun and Moon Prince] and bought a series of perfumes, clothing, etc. Of course, there was also a set of more revealing clothing. She might not have the chance to show it here, but after returning tonight, she would definitely have a chance to show it off.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Just as the atmosphere in the laboratory was gradually heating up.

An untimely knock on the door interrupted the scene.

Meng Hongchen raised his head in panic, and there was a long silver line between the corners of their lips.

"Who is it..." Even Meng Hongchen, who is usually good-tempered, felt a little resentful, but the person who could find Teacher Lin's laboratory could either be Lin Jiayi himself, or Wang Qiuer and a senior schoolmate who was going to the military for trial.

So, although reluctantly, he hurriedly tidied up his and Xu Cheng's clothes, as well as some messy objects around him.

A few minutes later.

When the laboratory door opens.

The interior had already been renovated, and the two people behaved in a dignified manner, without any clues.

But Meng Hongchen's face froze, and he opened his red lips, feeling a little guilty, "Grandpa, why are you here?"

"I have something to do with that kid, and you still have practical training in the afternoon, so go back and rest first..." Jing Hongchen smiled kindly.

When Meng Hongchen turned around and left, he sighed helplessly.

Looking at the 'well-dressed' Xu Cheng inside, the corner of his mouth twitched suddenly. With his strength as a ninth-level soul engineer, it would be easy for him to find out the situation inside the laboratory, even if there were hidden soul guide devices outside the laboratory.

But that was his granddaughter, so he had to remind her tactfully.

No matter how outstanding or talented Xu Cheng is, he always feels like his cabbages are being taken away by pigs.

heartache...

"Master Jing, please take a seat."

Xu Cheng said with a smile.

"Why don't you ask me what I want to ask?" Jing Hongchen said without being polite and sat down next to him.

"It's about Shrek..." Xu Cheng looked indifferent.

"Hahahaha, I knew it a long time ago. Those guys are too arrogant and think they will always be number one. But in fact, they are fooled by you." Jing Hongchen laughed out loud, obviously in a very good mood.

"Here, this is a secret letter from Shrek." Jing Hongchen handed him a letter.

"A ten thousand year old thunderbird, it is extremely fast, even a Super Douluo would have a hard time catching up with it, but unfortunately it doesn't know the ins and outs of the 'city wall' of the Sun Moon Empire, who enters and leaves the entire imperial capital, it's just up to me whether I want to know, not whether I can..."

He looked proud. The Sun-Moon Empire had no city walls because there was no need for them and they were extremely "inconvenient". In real wartime, few people could sneak into the city unless they were Extreme Douluo.

And this letter appeared on his desk at the moment when the Thunderbird just passed over the "city wall".

"Moon is critically ill, hope you can come back soon?"

Xu Cheng read out these words and chuckled.

"Master Jing, do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it, it's just bluffing. By the way... Shrek is so anxious to call back Zhang Lexuan, could it be that you and her have already..." Jing Hongchen said with a gossipy look on his face.

"She is of royal blood. Logically, you should call her Princess." Xu Cheng grinned.

“Ah???” Jing Hongchen said in confusion.

"You may have heard something about the younger sister of Xu Jiangnian from the Royal Soul Instructor Corps, which happened thirty years ago." Xu Cheng smiled faintly.

“Hiss…” Jing Hongchen took a breath of cold air.

No wonder she was able to perform the martial arts fusion skill with Xu Cheng that night. It seems that they have the same bloodline.

Although they are a bit far apart, they were from the same family about five hundred years ago, but they are both Sun and Moon Martial Spirits.

"No wonder Xu Jiangnian's attitude towards you suddenly changed not long ago. He became extremely enthusiastic. I thought you had paid some price to win people's hearts, but it turns out you have grasped his lifeblood." Jing Hongchen smiled and shook his head.

Everyone in the Xu family dotes on their sister, especially Xu Jiangnian.

In fact, within the Sun-Moon Empire, the so-called Nine Dragons' fight for the throne has now shown an overwhelming trend.

Even the Fourth Prince, the only one who could compete with Xu Cheng for power, had his minions plucked out in a few strokes (the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group and the recent retirement of the Prime Minister).

Xu Cheng has the full support of the military and Mingde Hall behind him, so it can be said that he will be the successor in a few years. The only hidden danger may be the Holy Spirit Church, but with this kid's methods, I'm afraid he has already thought of a backup plan.

"When Ameng marries you in the future, the entire Mingde Hall will be her dowry." Jing Hongchen suddenly said.

"What about the smile?" Xu Cheng asked somewhat puzzled.

Unexpectedly, Jing Hongchen waved her hand indifferently: "He is also part of the dowry."

Xu Cheng: “…”

Xiao Hongchen inherited Mingdetang and then became Meng's dowry.

Very reasonable.

Well, I just don't know how Xiao will react after knowing this...

It seems that Jing Hongchen is determined to tie himself and Xu Cheng together. They are not that kind of alliance, but truly one, "one of our own."

Of course, it is also possible that she wanted to compete for the position of queen. After all, there is only one word difference between queen and imperial concubine, but there is a world of difference between them.

But no matter what, this old man can be considered an angel investor, even earlier than Mr. Cheng. The fact that he arranged him and Ah Xiao to live in the same dormitory at the beginning was obvious.

It's just that he has no feelings for the so-called queen and imperial concubine. They will all become gods in the future, so why bother with this...

"How do you feel about Ning Tian from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?" Jing Hongchen asked.

"Ning Tian? That girl is quite clever and has a good talent for soul guides. She has advanced to the first level in just a few months." Xu Cheng asked in surprise, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

"Although there are many hidden sects heading to the Sun-Moon Empire now, they will eventually come back, so I thought that finding a few key students to cultivate is also something that can be relied upon in the true sense." Jing Hongchen murmured.

"Then you are worrying too much. Being loyal to the Sun Moon Empire and serving your own sect are not in conflict." Xu Cheng said, "You think that the future may change, so the current prosperity is like a mirage, which will be shattered at the slightest breeze. The academy trains them to prepare wedding clothes for the sect behind them, right?"

"Hmm..." Jing Hongchen did not deny it and nodded slightly.

I used to live a "hard life", but now that I feel fulfilled, it feels a bit unreal.

"Take Shrek Academy for example. Not long ago, several hidden sects, including the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, chose to withdraw their disciples from Shrek Academy. However, during this process, at least one-third of the inner court disciples chose to stay."

“Do you know what staying means? Completely breaking up with the family, losing all support, and even being looked down upon by others. But they chose to stay in Shrek Academy without any hesitation.”

Xu Cheng said softly.

"Of course, in the final analysis, this may be related to Shrek's brainwashing. Everyone is fighting for Shrek's eternal honor. They are even willing to bet their lives on the field, just for that false name."

"In that case, we can also have a more ambitious vision, that is, a common ruler of the world, a stable dawn, and a world of peace. Believe me, Master Jing, they enter school at around eleven years old and graduate at sixteen, and then choose to join the military of the Sun-Moon Empire, or continue their studies at Mingde Hall. They will have a strong sense of identity with the Sun-Moon Empire. This sense of identity comes from accumulation over time and from their close friends and lovers."

"Not just a few generations later, let's just say this generation. Six years later, I believe at least half of the people will choose to stay in the Sun-Moon Empire. They won't want to leave because this is their youth..."

"..."

Jing Hongchen remained silent for a long time.

"Huh, you taught me a lesson." He let out a breath, and his thoughts seemed to become much clearer.

"I dare not, but I will answer your question about Ning Tian. In my eyes, although she is the young master of a sect, if she is cultivated with emphasis, she will not betray the Sun Moon Empire. Merchants see benefits, but not all benefits."

The Jiubao Liuli Sect came to the Sun-Moon Empire with their entire family, which shows that Ning Hao is full of sincerity. He is betting his entire life and property on the Sun-Moon Empire.

Of course, if the Jiubao Liuli Sect does not want to continue to degenerate, it must make a charge and place all its bets on the Sun and Moon Empire.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Ning Hao and a group of sect elders had obviously discussed it for a long time, but fortunately, they won the bet.

Ever since Ning Rongrong ascended to the upper realm ten thousand years ago, the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda was left with nothing except a false name. Instead, the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda contributed manpower and effort, while the two great priests all died without even receiving any reward. The sect began to decline from then on.

To date, apart from being rich, their sect's strength is hardly ranked among the top ten among all the forces in Douluo.

You know, it was ranked among the top three ten thousand years ago!

Therefore, it is impossible and there is no reason for Ning Hao to cut off his own life and betray the Sun Moon Empire.

"Ah."

Jing Hongchen slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to leave, Xu Cheng stopped him, "Master Jing, regarding Xue Ling'er, she has decided to participate in this assessment."

"But she is too eye-catching..." Jing Hongchen suddenly felt a headache.

"Although she has transformed into a human form, she has retained at least 50% of her strength." Xu Cheng took a sip of tea and said quietly.

“Fifty percent… fifty percent?!”

Jing Hongchen's frightened voice echoed throughout the laboratory.

……

Shrek Academy.

Xiao Hongchen was eagerly learning about martial souls. Shrek Academy's research on martial souls could be said to be extremely thorough. What's more, Wang Yan, who had consulted the Reading Tower of the Sea God Pavilion, pointed out several of Xiao Hongchen's shortcomings incisively, making him want to bow down to him.

The Sun-Moon Empire is more inclined towards the research of soul guides. It believes that as long as the martial soul can rely on drugs to increase its soul power, the rest is not important.

But in fact, that is the case for most ordinary soul masters. When their potential is exhausted throughout their lifetime, they are no more than a Soul Saint.

For a genius like Xiao Hongchen who is capable of leading an era, it is a kind of excessive use of talent. In fact, in the original novel, Jing Hongchen also realized that it was not enough to only focus on the development of soul guides, so he promoted the exchanges between the two academies.

Ma Rulong and others, and even Ji Juechen, have benefited a lot from listening to Wang Yan's lectures these days, and have gained a deeper understanding of their own martial spirits.

"Hey, where is Old Ji? Is he going to the duel arena again?" Lin Xi put his arm on Xiao Hongchen's shoulder and said with a wicked smile.

"Probably. He almost lives there. Not long ago, he defeated a sixth-grade outer courtyard disciple with a single sword strike. It's like he discovered a new world. If he actively invites others to fight, most of them will refuse. After all, everyone is busy practicing. But as long as he acts a little indifferent and disdainful, there will be an endless stream of strong people coming to challenge him..."

Xiao Hongchen thought back to the past half month and shook his head helplessly.

"And we haven't lost a single game so far, which makes the Shrek students even more angry."

“Many of Shrek’s inner courtyard powerhouses went to the Sun-Moon Empire for exchange. Those who stayed in Shrek were either too old to fight, or Soul Kings and Soul Emperors. They were no match for Old Ji, but he had a lot of fun.” Lin Xi sighed.

"Old Ji will definitely not be happy. Even if he wants to win, he should never use such a tricky method, so... he is forcing the stronger ones in the inner courtyard to die." Xiao Hongchen crossed his arms over his chest.

Sighing softly.

At this moment, Ji Juechen's challenge was heard on the radio.

"Go and see?"

"Let's go."
