Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 58 Let Me Be the Evil One
After Jing Hongchen finished speaking, he took off into the air in front of Yan Shaozhe and flew away. Yan Shaozhe watched Jing Hongchen go away and slowly clenched his fist.

Just as Jing Hongchen said, with the support of his ninth-level soul guide, Yan Shaozhe was not sure he could keep him.

In the Poseidon Pavilion, Yan Shaozhe told Moon and Xuanzi everything that had just happened.

Xuan Zi said to Mu En, "Old Mu, this Mingde Hall Master is too arrogant. He should have let me go just now. I don't believe I can't stop him! A mere level 94 guy..."

Moon coughed, waved his hand, and said to Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe, "Don't look at him as only level 94, but with the blessing of his level 9 soul guide, I'm afraid the only person in the academy who can control him is me. Xuan Zi, you can beat him, but you can't stop him from leaving."

"A ninth-level soul guide, is the amplification really that great?" Xuan Zi's pupils shrank slightly and he frowned.

Jing Hongchen, who is at level ninety-four, can actually compete with him, a Super Douluo at level ninety-eight, with the help of a level nine soul guide!
Moon nodded and continued, "It seems that we have all underestimated the power of a ninth-level soul guide. It's time to reassess the strength of the Sun-Moon Empire. It may have exceeded our imagination."

Having said that, Moon looked at Yan Shaozhe again and asked, "Shaozhe, what do you think? Now you can accept the academy's heavy investment in the Soul Guidance Department, right?"

Yan Shaozhe pursed his lips, then sighed and nodded, "I admit that soul guides can play a significant role in combat, but I still believe that self-cultivation is the foundation of a soul master's survival."

"There's no conflict." Moon shook his head.

Yan Shaozhe was silent, then suddenly thought of something and said to Mu En, "I heard Jiang Qingtong call Jing Hongchen "Senior Brother" instead of "Teacher." But when she first came to the academy, she said Jing Hongchen was her teacher. Master Mu, what do you think?"

"Jing Hongchen is the head of Mingde Hall, the most powerful person in the Sun-Moon Empire. I've never heard of anyone with higher soul power and soul guides than him. But Jiang Qingtong and he have the same master. Does this mean that there is someone hiding in the shadows in the Sun-Moon Empire who is even more powerful than Jing Hongchen?"

Xuan Zi frowned, looked at Moon En, and said, "Mr. Mu, our intelligence on the Sun-Moon Empire..."

Moon's expression was calm. He said slowly, "I've already guessed this. Jing Hongchen's strength is decent, but he alone is not enough to support the Sun Moon Empire's high-end combat power."

Having said that, Moon paused for a moment before continuing, "Perhaps, that person in the dark is the legendary tenth-level soul mentor of the Sun-Moon Empire."

Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Mu, is there really a level 10 soul master in this world? How powerful would that be?"

Moon coughed a few times, took a breath, and said, "At least, it's comparable to the Limit Douluo."

"That means there are powerful people at the Ultimate Douluo level in the Sun-Moon Empire?" Hearing Moon's words, Yan Shaozhe's pupils shrank and he could hardly hide his shock.

Xuan Zi shook his head and said, "Impossible! If there was such a powerful person in the Sun-Moon Empire, they would have publicized it long ago. An Extreme Douluo is a force powerful enough to change the world! Perhaps the person hiding in the dark is stronger than Jing Hongchen, but he probably hasn't reached the level of a tenth-level soul master."

Xuanzi couldn't accept that a powerful person at the level of Extreme Douluo would appear in a backward area like the Sun-Moon Empire where soul masters practiced.

Moon tapped the armrest of the recliner lightly without saying anything.

He seemed to be thinking about something, and after a long while, he said to the two of them, "Let's leave this matter at that. For Qingtong, everything is business as usual. The Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition is approaching. Xuanzi, you must carefully select the reserve team members."

"Yes, Mr. Mu." Xuan Zi nodded.

"Shaozhe, go and bring Beibei over." Moon En said to Yan Shaozhe again. Yan Shaozhe nodded and left the Sea God Pavilion with Xuanzi. After the two left, Moon En looked up at the ceiling, then sighed and said, "Let me be the villain. It's not the first time anyway."

Jing Hongchen returned to Mingdu from Shrek Academy and noticed something was amiss as soon as he entered Mingde Hall. The several Titled Douluo passing by had serious expressions, as if something serious had happened.

He stopped one of them to inquire about the situation and learned that Jiang Shengyu was in trouble. After hearing this, Jing Hongchen did not delay at all and immediately came to Tianyin Douluo, who was in charge of Jiang Shengyu's physical condition.

"How is Shengyu's condition...?"

Jing Hongchen rushed in and just asked the question when he saw Jiang Shengyu sitting quietly on the sofa. Kong Deming, Tianyin Douluo and several other doctors were standing nearby discussing the situation.

"What's going on?" Jing Hongchen frowned and asked.

Tianyin Douluo said to Jing Hongchen, "The night before yesterday, Sheng Yu's soul suddenly began to vibrate inexplicably. I used the sound of my zither to soothe him, but I couldn't figure out what the problem was."

After hearing Tianyin Douluo's words, Jing Hongchen looked at Jiang Shengyu and asked, "Shengyu, how do you feel now?"

"Eat well, drink well, have good teeth, and be healthy." Jiang Shengyu replied.

"Really?" Jing Hongchen was a little confused.

Jiang Shengyu nodded and said, "Of course, it's just a small problem!"

"Small problem?" Tianyin Douluo snorted coldly upon hearing this. "Your behavior that night didn't seem like a small problem! If I hadn't used my zither music to protect your soul in time, who knows what would have happened!"

From Tianyin Douluo's words, Jing Hongchen could also sense the urgency of the situation. He frowned and asked, "Tianyin, how is Shengyu doing now?"

Tianyin Douluo shook his head and said, "It's strange, I can't find any problems."

Kong Deming also said to Jing Hongchen: "I have also checked, Sheng Yu's martial spirit shows no signs of being broken, and there is nothing wrong with her soul."

"Then what is going on?" Jing Hongchen didn't understand.

Kong Deming and Tianyin Douluo both shook their heads. Tianyin Douluo said, "Who knows? However, I have suggested to His Majesty Yin Yue that Sheng Yu stay with me for another month. I will examine her carefully."

"There are still many things to do in the Soul Palace." Jiang Shengyu muttered softly.

"Can't we just ask the people from the Soul Palace to deliver the documents? I'll talk to them about this matter. You can just stay here in Tianyin with peace of mind." Kong Deming made the decision directly without allowing Jiang Shengyu to refuse.

"That's fine. You are the treasure of our Sun Moon Empire, and nothing can happen to you."

Jing Hongchen nodded at the side, agreeing with Kong Deming and Tianyin Douluo's decision. He then reported to Kong Deming, "Teacher, I have sent Qingtong to Shrek Academy, but on the way back, I met Yan Shaozhe."
