Douluo Jueshi: Who made him a soul mentor!

Chapter 117 Meng Hongchen: I was here first, woo woo woo
The attendant with the Titled Douluo cultivation level beside him was also a little shocked when he heard the emperor's reward.

Ten elixirs. This level of elixir is effective for Titled Douluo powerhouses.

Lingdan is the top-level elixir in the conventional sense, and each one is extremely valuable. The only elixirs above Lingdan are those made from elixir-making herbs that are hard to come by.

To make ten elixirs, a ninth-level soul engineer would probably have to sell everything he had to collect them.

In addition to elixirs, there are also several top-level rare metals. These rare metals are enough to make three ninth-level soul guides. Needless to say, the ninth-level soul guides are precious. Even ninth-level soul guides do not have many of them.

As for the reward of the imperial mansion, it was quite common. Whenever a princess got married, her husband would be rewarded with a mansion in the imperial city. It was a customary practice.

It can be said that the emperor's reward saved Wang Chen a lot of time collecting resources, so he only needed to focus on practicing.

The attendant then asked, "Your Majesty, will the princess and Wang Chen marry according to the usual custom, choosing an auspicious date three months from now, or..."

When the emperor marries a princess, it does not mean that the marriage will take place immediately after the marriage is granted. The process has always been quite cumbersome. Unless there is an emergency, it usually takes three months to prepare.

If there are special circumstances, it will be postponed or advanced.

Xu Jing sat on the dragon throne, tapping the armrests lightly with his fingers. Although he had many sons, he only had one daughter, Xu Tianzhen, whom he always doted on.

If there had been no suitable women among the royal family, he might not have married his daughter to Wang Chen.

Now when I think about my daughter getting married, I feel a little reluctant for a moment.

However, as an emperor, for political reasons, he wanted his daughter to marry Wang Chen as soon as possible and give birth to a child with royal blood.

Xu Jing pondered for a moment, then spoke with a complicated expression, "Princess Tianzhen's wedding should be held according to palace etiquette. It should be grand and well-prepared. Three months is enough, so it's inevitable that some preparations will be incomplete. Let's postpone it to five months."

Also, remember to build the Princess and Wang Chen's residence closer to the Imperial Palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The attendant nodded respectfully and went to convey the emperor's order.

........................

In the evening, at Wang Chen's house.

At this time, Wang Chen was sitting cross-legged in meditation, practicing the Tongmai Gong technique.

He benefited a lot from studying with Kong Deming this month, and learned all kinds of advanced knowledge about soul guides and the concepts of cutting-edge soul guide technology.

These advanced theoretical knowledge and cutting-edge technological concepts are extremely precious and cannot be learned in places like Mingde Hall and the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Although Mingde Hall and Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy are both famous places, the soul guide knowledge they teach is all below the ninth level and can only be regarded as the basics.

However, if one wants to learn any knowledge about ninth-level soul guides in the Sun-Moon Empire, he will have to pay a heavy price.

What Kong Deming taught Wang Chen was even more precious. This knowledge fully represented the highest level of soul guide technology in the Sun-Moon Empire today.

The knowledge of soul guides passed down by the Wang family is far inferior to that of Kong Deming.

At the same time, Wang Chen recorded all of Kong Deming's powerful soul guide skills in a black book.

One of the skills is the method of using the innate soul guide.

The so-called method of using a natal soul guide device is to use one's own martial soul, with the help of the power of heaven and earth, to merge with the soul guide device.

This kind of fusion is completely different from the attachment of Wang Chen's weapon spirit and martial soul. The degree of this fusion is extremely deep. It can be said that it completely combines his own martial soul and soul guide into one.

Even if one's own soul guide is destroyed, one's own martial soul will be severely damaged.

But it is also because of this that this method of soul guide can bring about an enormous improvement to the soul guide.

In the later part of the original novel, Kong Deming used this method to directly upgrade the ninth-level peak soul guide Silver Moon Divine Light Shield to the tenth level, and his strength was much stronger than that of the Extreme Douluo.

Of course, Kong Deming's current cultivation level had not yet reached level ninety-five, and he had not yet grasped the state of unity between man and nature. Therefore, his skill of using his natal soul guide was only halfway complete.

It was only after Wang Chen recorded it and used the directional deduction and improvement function of the black book that he completely completed the method of his natal soul guide.

The conditions for practicing the method of using the natal soul guide are extremely harsh, and the threshold is ridiculously high.

Needless to say, those who can comprehend the state of unity between man and nature are basically super Douluo masters.

There are also two prerequisites for using the power of heaven and earth to perfectly integrate one's own martial soul and soul guide.

First, one must have a thorough grasp of one's own martial soul. Second, the martial soul and the soul guide must be in perfect harmony, just like the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield and the Silver Moon Martial Soul. The two are in perfect harmony, so they can be integrated.

If one is a fire-attributed soul guide and the other is a water-attributed martial soul, the two naturally cannot be fused together.

If forced to fuse, there would inevitably be a violent rejection reaction, the lightest soul guide device would be shattered, the worst even the martial soul would be severely damaged. The martial soul and the soul master are closely related, if the martial soul is severely damaged, the soul master will also be severely damaged.

Adding these conditions together, there is no soul engineer in the entire Sun-Moon Empire who meets the requirements.

Even Wang Chen was missing one condition, that is, he did not have a soul guide that was perfectly compatible with his weapon spirit and martial soul.

Therefore, Wang Chen could only temporarily put aside the practice of his natal soul guide.

These days he has been busy thinking about how to make a soul guide that perfectly matches his own martial soul.

It is very difficult to create a soul guide that is unique to you. It is not as easy as making a soul guide by following the steps of the soul guide drawings of your predecessors.

It's like using a formula to solve a problem and creating a formula to solve a problem are not the same level of difficulty at all.

Fortunately, Wang Chen has the Black Book. The latest function of the Black Book is to increase his own understanding by consuming mental power.

In addition, Wang Chen also has Kong Deming, a teacher who is knowledgeable, powerful, and has this kind of experience, and can give Wang Chen a lot of useful suggestions.

Now Wang Chen has an idea on how to create a soul guide that is in perfect harmony with the weapon spirit and martial soul.

It is expected that it will not take too long for Wang Chen to design the blueprints, and then slowly experiment and produce them.

In fact, what Wang Chen is most envious of now is a space soul guide like the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield.

There's a saying that goes, "Time is king, space is king." The sheer power of space is self-evident. Those who understand will understand.

As long as you master the power of space, apart from anything else, your means of saving your life will be absolutely first-class. Even if you meet someone you can't beat, then if you want to run, the other party can only stare at you helplessly.

However, what made Wang Chen speechless was that due to his own insufficient cultivation and mental strength, he could not sense the power of space at all. This made Wang Chen completely incapable of making a space soul guide.

After all, you can't even sense the power of space, and you're still trying to create a space soul guide? You're dreaming.

Wang Chen learned from studying with Kong Deming that in order to comprehend the power of space, one must at least condense the soul core.

The soul core is the equivalent of a spatial particle (in the original novel, when a soul core is condensed, it absorbs the force of space). With this particle, infinite possibilities are possible. The stronger the spiritual power, the better one can perceive the force of space. Kong Deming's spiritual power is at the tangible and material level. Indeed, it is even stronger than the intangible and intangible power of a Titled Douluo.

Therefore, the most important thing for Wang Chen now is to improve his cultivation. As long as his cultivation is sufficient, he can condense a soul core and possess a natal soul guide with spatial attributes.

Wang Chen was confident that neither Ye Xishui nor Long Xiaoyao from the Holy Spirit Church could threaten his life.

Just as Wang Chen was practicing, a slightly sharp voice rang out.

"The imperial edict has arrived! Wang Chen, come and receive it!"

When Wang Chen heard that the imperial edict had arrived, he walked out of the villa and saw the eunuch who was wearing a serving robe, had a white face and no beard, and was serving beside the emperor, reading the imperial edict.

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: My daughter, Princess Tianzhen, is gentle and kind, graceful and elegant, and should be married to a virtuous man.

I have heard that Duke Wang Chen is a man of great talent and distinction. I offer him a special reward: a residence in the Imperial City, ten elixirs, top-grade rare metals: Heavenly Evil Black Iron, and Heavenly Martial Primordial Stone… In five months, an auspicious date will be chosen for the wedding. I decree this!!!”

After Wang Chen finished listening to the imperial edict, he thought to himself, "As I expected, the emperor intends to make me his consort, but the dowry is really generous.

The royal family is indeed wealthy and powerful. If it were an ordinary ninth-level soul master, they would probably not be able to come up with this even if they emptied their family's coffers."

"Your servant Wang Chen accepts the order and expresses his gratitude!" Wang Chen took the imperial edict.

After the eunuch handed the imperial edict to Wang Chen, he clapped his hands, and immediately a group of little eunuchs followed him, holding exquisite boxes in their hands.

Neatly arranged in a row, these boxes contained nothing but treasures bestowed by the emperor.

"Prince Consort, please count these treasures carefully and don't make any mistakes. It is no exaggeration to say that these treasures are priceless." The eunuch said to Wang Chen with a smile on his feminine face.

Wang Chen glanced at the exquisite box, then chatted with the emperor's confidant in front of him, and then the eunuchs who completed their mission returned to the palace.

Wang Chen put all the treasures bestowed by the emperor into the storage soul guide and then returned to the room.

After returning to the room.

Wang Chen couldn't help but think of Meng Hongchen's face in his mind, and suddenly felt a little worried.

He hasn't gone to see Meng Hongchen these days, for fear of getting involved with Meng Hongchen and bringing danger to him.

However, now that the emperor has granted the marriage, he is a little worried that Meng Hongchen will be upset and do something stupid after knowing it.

Wang Chen immediately wrote a letter of comfort and then put the letter into the password box of the soul guide.

Then he instructed the Wang family members who were studying at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to deliver his letter to Jing Hongchen's confidant, the Dean of Studies Lin Jiayi.

The reason why he didn't deliver it personally, or send the Wang family's powerful servants and guards to deliver the letter directly to the Hongchen family, was naturally to avoid the attention of interested people.

Wang Chen has been so popular lately that his every move has attracted countless people's attention. If he were an ordinary person, Wang Chen would naturally be able to easily avoid their gaze.

However, it would take a lot of effort for the Super Douluo who was monitoring him from the Holy Spirit Church to avoid his sight.

Therefore, it would be the least noticeable to have the Wang family children who were going to school deliver the box, even if someone wanted to open the box.

The soul guide code box that was specially modified by Wang Chen could not be cracked by anyone in the entire Sun-Moon Empire except Kong Deming.

If it is cracked by brute force, it will self-destruct and Wang Chen will notice it.

..............................

Time passed quickly and it was the next day.

The news of the emperor's marriage quickly spread throughout the Ming capital.

As the most dazzling genius of the Sun-Moon Empire, Wang Chen has now become Kong Deming's personal disciple and has long been the focus of countless people's attention.

The Sun Moon Empire's high-ranking ninth-level soul masters were all well aware that this was not a simple arranged marriage, but a political marriage. Princess Tian Zhen was the link between Wang Chen and the royal family.

But the public didn't know, so the marriage between Wang Chen and the princess naturally became a topic of conversation among people after dinner.

A pretty woman said enviously, "Princess Tianzhen is so enviable. She was born into a noble family and is the emperor's only daughter, doting on her.

Now she is married to Master Wang Chen, a direct disciple of Master Kong, who was granted the title of Duke at the age of fifteen and appointed as a court official. She is truly the happiest woman in the Sun Moon Empire."

The woman's best friend also sighed, "There's no point in being envious. They were born into a better life. The moment we're born, we're at the end of our lives. Women like us from ordinary backgrounds can only rely on our own hard work to find our ideal husband."

The pretty girl said with longing eyes, "If my future man can be even one-tenth as good as Lord Wang Chen, I will be satisfied."

"..."

----------

At the same time, in Mingde Hall, Meng Hongchen’s private room.

Meng Hongchen sat in her room, tears streaming down her face. She learned that the emperor had granted Wang Chen a marriage, and that he was about to marry Xu Tianzhen.

Meng Hongchen only felt that the sky was collapsing, the earth was cracking, and the sun and the moon were becoming dim.

"Why... why is it like this... I was clearly here first. Brother Wang Chen, don't you want me anymore? You said you would marry me, wuwuwu." Meng Hongchen sobbed softly.

She and Wang Chen grew up together, childhood sweethearts. She had always believed that she would be Wang Chen's future wife, but now, an imperial decree from the emperor completely shattered her fantasy.

"Brother Wang Chen...how could you marry someone else..." Meng Hongchen's voice trembled and tears blurred her vision.

Just then, the door was gently pushed open, and Jing Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen walked in.

Jing Hongchen couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw his granddaughter crying so sadly.

Jing Hongchen walked to Meng Hongchen and sighed, "My dear granddaughter, don't cry."

Meng Hongchen raised her head, looked at Jing Hongchen with tears in her eyes, and choked up, "Grandpa, Brother Wang Chen is going to marry someone else... What should I do?"

Seeing his sister crying so sadly, Xiao Hongchen immediately shouted angrily, "Sister, don't cry for that fickle scumbag Wang Chen. When I succeed in my cultivation, I will beat his face into a pig's head!"

Meng Hongchen whimpered, "Get out of here! You are not allowed to say bad things about Brother Wang Chen. Wuwuwu."

Laughing at the Red Dust:Σ_(」）
Seeing this, Jing Hongchen sighed, feeling helpless. He knew Meng Hongchen's feelings for Wang Chen, but now that things had come to this, he could do nothing about it. Who dared to disobey the emperor's decision?
What's more, Wang Chen's current identity and status are no longer something his Hongchen family can possess.

Just as Meng Hongchen was crying, there was a knock on the door.

Dean of Studies Lin Jiayi said, "Master, there is a letter!"
