Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 13 Red Dust Brothers and Sisters
Kong Deming smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need to be so polite! Study hard with your teacher. Although the path of soul guidance is disdained by the three kingdoms originally from Douluo Continent, it is the real future!"

Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Disciple, I understand!"

"Okay, let's get down to business." Kong Deming turned his head to look at Jing Hongchen who was sitting on the side and asked, "Hongchen, how are your preparations going?"

Jing Hongchen said to Kong Deming, "Everything is ready. This disciple and the three Titled Douluo plan to set off tomorrow for the Far North to conduct low-temperature tests on the Soul Guide Satellite."

Kong Deming warned, "The Far North is an unknown area that humans have never set foot in. It's also home to the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor, two of the ten most ferocious beasts. Be careful."

The experiment they are about to conduct in the far north will cause quite a stir, which will inevitably affect the soul beast groups there. This is why Kong Deming wants Jing Hongchen to lead the team personally, and three Titled Douluo must also act together.

In Kong Deming's opinion, the four Titled Douluo, plus the corresponding ninth-level soul guides, should be enough to contend with the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress.

While Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen were talking, Huo Yuhao's expression changed. He heard the cry of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his sea of consciousness.

"What are they going to do in the Far North? Are they going to hunt down my Ice Emperor?"

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly and tried to calm the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his spiritual sea of consciousness: "Brother Tianmeng, my brothers are going to conduct experiments."

"What kind of experiment requires four Titled Douluo to go to the Far North to conduct? The Far North is so far away, and they have to go there specially to conduct experiments? It must be a cover-up!" Tianmeng Bingcan said angrily.

In fact, the action of the four Titled Douluo was just for an experiment, which seemed too incredible to Tianmeng Bingcan.

Jiang Shengyu also asked nearby, "Are we so short on manpower already? Even Senior Brother has to lead the team out personally?"

When Jiang Shengyu said this, Kong Deming, Jing Hongchen and Xuan Ziwen all looked at him, their eyes seemed to ask, "Are you serious about this?"
Jing Hongchen chuckled twice and said, "This is all thanks to my junior brother!"

Xuan Ziwen explained, "Isn't it because you proposed so many research projects? Mingde Hall has long been short of manpower, and our senior brother just returned from the border this morning."

"Ahem...those who are capable should do more work." Jiang Shengyu coughed and couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Sheng Yu, stop provoking your senior brother."

Kong Deming looked at Jiang Shengyu, who looked a bit like he was asking for a beating, and said helplessly. He cleared his throat and announced the end of this small gathering between master and disciple: "Let's stop here today, Hongchen, you stay for a while."

"Yes!"

Several people nodded. Jing Hongchen stayed, while Jiang Shengyu and the others said goodbye to Kong Deming and left the meeting room.

As they entered the courtyard, they ran into a pair of silver-haired siblings. They were Jing Hongchen's grandchildren, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

"Hey! Jiang Shengyu, where is my grandpa?" Xiao Hongchen stood there and shouted.

Jiang Shengyu pointed inside and said, "Your grandfather and I are from the same generation. Be polite and call me Grandpa Jiang!"

"Don't take advantage of me!" Xiao Hongchen looked at Jiang Shengyu with disdain and said, "I'm two years older than you. You let me call you grandpa, aren't you afraid of falling into a pit when you go out?"

Meng Hongchen pulled Xiao Hongchen, who was standing in front of her, back and looked at Jiang Shengyu. She smiled and asked softly, "Shengyu, is Grandpa still meeting with His Majesty Yin Yue?"

"Yeah." Jiang Shengyu nodded.

Xiao Hongchen continued, "If you hadn't proposed so many research projects, Grandpa wouldn't have been so busy that he couldn't go home for half a year! Jiang Shengyu, are soul guides really that good? With your talent, if you put all your energy into cultivation, it wouldn't have taken you so many years to become a Grand Soul Master! I'm almost breaking through to the Soul King level!"

Xiao Hongchen was a true anomaly in the Sun-Moon Empire. His talent in Spirit Master cultivation rivaled that of a Spirit Instructor, and was even comparable to the so-called freak geniuses of Shrek Academy. He was a rare dual-cultivation prodigy in the Sun-Moon Empire. With this powerful talent, coupled with being the grandson of Jing Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen held himself in high regard, and few could catch his eye, Jiang Shengyu being one of them.

After hearing what Xiao Hongchen said, Jiang Shengyu complained: "This is called all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor."

"comprehensive?"

Xiao Hongchen looked Jiang Shengyu up and down, raised his hand and said, "Come on, fight me! Let's see if you are well-rounded enough! Don't worry, I will only use the first two spirit skills. Anyway, your spirit ring is of high quality, so I won't bully you."

"elder brother!"

Meng Hongchen tugged at Xiao Hongchen, looked at Jiang Shengyu apologetically, and said, "Shengyu, I'm sorry, my brother is just like that. We came here to look for grandpa, but since grandpa is busy, we'll leave first."

"Don't go!"

Xiao Hongchen broke free from Meng Hongchen's hand and said to Jiang Shengyu, "Come on! Do you dare to fight?"

Jiang Shengyu's mouth twitched, and he took a step forward and said, "Let's compete. Let's go! To the ring."

"Why did the fight suddenly start?" Huo Yuhao looked confused.

Jiang Shengyu patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "This is Douluo Continent!"

In the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy competition arena, Jiang Shengyu and Xiao Hongchen stood at opposite ends, Meng Hongchen, Huo Yuhao and others stood below the arena and watched, while students kept rushing in from outside to the audience.

Some students even skipped classes to come and see after hearing the news.

Classes can be attended at any time. The dean's grandson and the dean's junior fellow student are about to fight. This kind of scene can only be seen a few times in a lifetime!

Huo Yuhao looked at the two people on the stage and asked Xuan Ziwen, who was standing beside him, "Teacher, who do you think will win, my cousin or Mr. Xiao Hongchen?"

"Hard to say."

Xuan Ziwen shook his head and said to Huo Yuhao, "Xiao Hongchen is a level 48 Battle Soul Sect master, while Junior Brother is only level 25. The difference in soul power is huge. However, Junior Brother's soul ring is of high quality, so victory is not impossible."

"I believe Sheng Yu can win."

Suddenly, Meng Hongchen, who was standing by, spoke up. She looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Let me tell you something. My brother and Sheng Yu have fought privately several times, and my brother has never gotten the upper hand."

"Then why are you still fighting? Isn't this..." Huo Yuhao blinked and didn't say the last two words "seeking trouble".

Becoming more courageous after setbacks? This is also a kind of tenacity.

Meng Hongchen laughed and said, "My brother is like this, he likes to be tortured."

Huo Yuhao was surprised to hear Meng Hongchen making fun of him. Aren't they siblings? How could she talk about her brother's sister like that? Or was this just the way siblings get along?
Huo Yuhao had never been exposed to how siblings interacted with each other, so he didn't quite understand.

On the stage, Jiang Shengyu and Xiao Hongchen stared at each other. He asked, "Do you want to say a few harsh words before the fight?"
