In Douluo Continent, what is a martial soul? It's like Luckin Coffee.

Chapter 66 My Uncle's Best Friend is Actually Jing Hongchen

"do not move."

Bai Ran looked at the old man who had climbed in through the window with a wary expression.

Normal Soul Masters wouldn't stoop to being thieves, so those who become thieves or robbers are usually ordinary people, or Soul Masters with relatively low Soul Power levels.

Wait a minute, Bai Ran suddenly thought of a question.

Both he and his uncle were under the 24-hour surveillance of Shrek Academy's powerful members.

How did this old man manage to break into his home without being discovered by the Soul Saint?
Doesn't that mean this old man is a Soul Douluo, or even a Title Douluo?
"uncle……"

Thinking of this, Bai Ran immediately ran to the kitchen.

"The little guy is quite interesting."

Upon seeing Bai Ran, he excitedly ran into the kitchen.

The white-haired old man smiled and shook his head, then walked to the dining table without any hesitation and found a seat.

……

In the kitchen

Ye Tian had just finished preparing several cold dishes and was about to take them out when Bai Ran rushed in.

"Xiao Ran, you've come at the right time. Help your uncle take these dishes out."

As Ye Tian spoke, he pointed to the cold dishes next to him.

If it were an ordinary six-year-old child, Ye Tian would be afraid that he wouldn't have the strength to hold the plate properly and would drop it on the ground.

But if a level 20 Soul Master can't even do this little thing right, then you really deserve a spanking.

Bai Ran has not yet told anyone about breaking through to level 20 and obtaining the second ring of the ten-thousand-year ring.

Actually, it's no use saying it out loud, since Xuanzi, who was supposed to be supporting them, isn't here.

Currently, the majority of the powerful titled Douluo in the inner courtyard are on friendly terms with the Star Luo Empire.

Unless Bai Ran is willing to sign a contract with the academy and serve Shrek Academy for the rest of his life, becoming a true member of Shrek Academy.

Otherwise, let alone a second ring that's ten thousand years old, even a second ring that's a hundred thousand years old wouldn't be of much use.

Moreover, in Moon's eyes...

Shrek Academy is a neutral force. He felt that it was not worth it to offend the Star Luo Empire, one of the three great empires, for the sake of a non-Shrek member.

……

"Uncle, Uncle, an old man has come to our house, and he's very strong. Uncle, could it be that Shrek Academy is planning to attack us?"

"No, what are you thinking, child?"

Shrek Academy doesn't want to offend the Star Luo Empire, but it also wouldn't dare to attack us.

If we actually kill a food-type Soul Master who has dedicated half his life to the Inner Court, what will become of Shrek Academy's reputation?
It's important to know that the higher-ups at Shrek Academy care most about their reputation.

"Who is that old man with gray hair outside?"

Following the direction Bai Ran pointed, Ye Tian looked into the living room.

I saw a man sitting at the dining table, drinking a Luckin Coffee coconut latte that was placed on the table.

"Brother Ye, it's been a long time."

Jing Hongchen stood up and waved to Ye Tian in the kitchen. "Brother Jing is here."

Seeing this, Ye Tian quickly carried the dishes out and tapped Bai Ran on the head, signaling his nephew to bring out the rest of the dishes as well.

……

"It's been a long time. Brother Ye's skills have improved quite a bit."

Looking at the dishes on the table, just smelling them made Jing Hongchen's mouth water.

Think about the food in the cafeteria of their Sun Moon Royal Academy. It's all processed using soul tools. Although the quality is stable and the price is affordable, the taste is only good enough to fill your stomach.

Although Sun Moon Royal Academy has quite a few food-type Soul Masters, because of their different research directions, even support-type Soul Masters can become stronger by equipping Soul Tools. Therefore, even food-type Soul Masters are researching Soul Tool technology, and hardly anyone is researching how to cook.

Instead of wasting time on that, it would be better to research a soul tool that could help with cooking, thus allowing more time to be devoted to researching combat-type soul tools.

Several years ago, Jing Hongchen tasted Ye Tian's cooking and praised his skills highly, hoping that he could come and work at the Sun Moon Royal Academy.

Unexpectedly, he said: Shrek Academy is his home, and he will not leave.

Therefore, when Jing Hongchen received the message from Ye Tian, ​​he was initially somewhat skeptical.

He thought it was a trap deliberately set by Shrek Academy to get a level-nine soul tool from him.

However, upon entering Shrek City, they discovered that Ye Tian had been almost placed under house arrest by the powerful figures of Shrek Academy.

Jing Hongchen felt that this matter should be plausible.

Jing Hongchen: Finally, I don't have to eat pre-cooked meals and ready-made meals anymore.

……

"Where."

Ye Tian was quite modest.

"Brother Ye, may I ask who this child is?"

Jing Hongchen looked into the room and found that there was no woman there.

Moreover, there are no rumors circulating that Master Ye is already married.

“This is my sister’s child. Xiao Ran, come here and greet him. This is your Uncle Jing.”

"Hello, Uncle Jing."

Bai Ran: My uncle's best friend is actually Jing Hongchen?

Speaking of which, could this be the person who gave my uncle the soul tool back then?

Well, thinking about it carefully, that makes sense. The soul tools on my uncle's body are probably worth more than the entire fortune of an eighth-level soul master. Only a ninth-level soul master could afford to give them away.

"I still prefer you to call me old man."

Jing Hongchen teased, as if in jest.

Upon hearing this, Ye Tian's face immediately darkened.

That brat, he's still such a worry.
