Meng Hongchen nodded, his eyes also full of interest. He quickly walked to the soul guide vehicle, bent down, and looked at the cockpit.

"How do I operate this thing?"

Huo Yuhao stepped forward and gave him some brief instructions.

"Press this button to start the soul-guided vehicle, then use this lever to control the direction, and step here to accelerate..."

Meng Hongchen listened attentively, nodding repeatedly.

"understood."

She sat in the cockpit, which was a bit small, only accommodating one person, but thankfully it wasn't too crowded. Meng Hongchen pressed the start button.

The soul-guided vehicle shuddered slightly and slowly rose.

Meng Hongchen pushed the control lever, and the soul-guided vehicle moved slowly in the manufacturing room, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, and sometimes turning...

"Haha! That's fun!"

The laughter of Meng Hongchen echoed in the production room, crisp and melodious.

Xiao Hongchen stood aside, watching his younger sister having a great time, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

……

At the same time.

President's Office.

【Ding! 】

[Detected: Key character Meng Hongchen's recognition of Shrek Academy has increased!]

[Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: Special Student - Lan Fuzi (Five-Ring Soul King, First Year Version, Title Douluo in the original work)!]

Chapter 257 I can't possibly be defeated by the bottom of the class, can I?

Inside the Soul Guidance Device Manufacturing Room of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.

Meng Hongchen sat in the cockpit of the soul-guided vehicle, her hands gripping the control lever, her delicate face full of an excited smile.

Her silver ponytail swayed gently as the soul-guided vehicle moved.

"Haha! That's fun!"

Xiao Hongchen stood to the side, arms crossed, watching his younger sister having a great time. His expression gradually changed from helplessness to anxiety.

"Meng, that's enough."

He called out, his voice urging him on.

"Shouldn't I get to study it now?"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

Meng Hongchen answered without turning his head, his hands showing no sign of stopping.

The soul-guided vehicle circled the production room again.

Xiao Hongchen's brows furrowed more and more, and finally he couldn't help but step forward and pat the roof of the soul-guided vehicle.

"Alright, alright, get down. Huo Yuhao lent me this to research. What if you break it?"

His voice carried a hint of heartache.

"This is an extremely valuable item; I've never seen anything like it before!"

Meng Hongchen pursed her lips and reluctantly jumped out of the cockpit.

"Stingy."

She muttered something, her gaze briefly lingering on the soul-guided car.

Xiao Hongchen ignored her complaints and instead squatted down to carefully observe every detail of the soul guide vehicle.

His fingers gently traced the soul energy pathways on the vehicle's body, his eyes filled with fervor and ecstasy. He was finally getting his hands on what he wanted.

"That's right."

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Meng Hongchen.

"Has Grandpa come back yet?"

Meng Hongchen shook his head.

"Not yet. They said they're handling some things, so it'll probably be a few more days."

Xiao Hongchen nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Meng Hongchen shifted his gaze from the soul-guided vehicle to Huo Yuhao.

She glanced at him a few times, a thoughtful glint in her blue eyes.

"Huo Yuhao".

She called out.

Huo Yuhao raised his head and looked at her.

“Since my brother is focused on researching this soul-guided vehicle and can’t attend to anything else for the time being, perhaps…”

Meng Hongchen smiled, his tone tinged with excitement.

"Shall I show you around our college? There are many interesting places in our college."

Xiao Hongchen's hand suddenly stopped, and he immediately stood up.

"No."

He said it with absolute certainty.

"I brought Huo Yuhao back. If anyone should be bringing someone, it should be me taking him sightseeing. Why are you meddling in this?"

"Why did I blindly join in the fun?"

Meng Hongchen retorted, unconvinced.

"I'm also a student at the academy, why can't I bring guests to visit ginseng?"

"You should take care of your own cultivation first."

Xiao Hongchen waved his hand.

“I remember your last test results. Grandpa said you’ve been slacking off lately. If you don’t catch up on your training, Grandpa might put you in solitary confinement.”

"Aren't you the same?"

Meng Hongchen curled his lip.

"You spend all your time in the soul tool manufacturing room, but I haven't seen you cultivate very diligently."

"I am a genius."

Xiao Hongchen puffed out his chest, his tone carrying a hint of self-righteousness.

"Geniuses don't need to work as hard as ordinary people."

Meng Hongchen was taken aback by these words, and his expression became even more dissatisfied. In terms of talent, Xiao Hongchen's talent was indeed superior to his own. After all, Xiao Hongchen was the number one genius in the history of the Sun and Moon Empire.

"I don't care, I'm taking Huo Yuhao to visit the sights today."

In the mortal world, they would not yield an inch.

"You've already experienced the Soul Guided Vehicle, and I was the first to encounter Huo Yuhao."

Xiao Hongchen's brows furrowed.

"But I was the one who invited Huo Yuhao first. Huo Yuhao, would you like to come with me to tour the academy, or would you like to keep my brother company, this arrogant jerk?"

Meng Hongchen's gaze fell on Huo Yuhao, and he also secretly mocked Xiao Hongchen.

This can be considered normal interaction between siblings.

The two argued back and forth, neither willing to give in.

Huo Yuhao stood aside, watching the brother and sister arguing fiercely about who should show him around, and couldn't help but show an awkward smile.

He never expected that he would be so popular.

However, seeing their argument escalating, Huo Yuhao couldn't remain silent any longer.

He cleared his throat and began to speak.

"That..."

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen turned their heads at the same time to look at him.

"How about you two show me around a bit?"

Besides the soul tool, Huo Yuhao also came to the Sun Moon Empire this time for other reasons. He wanted to see the geniuses of this academy and understand the gap between himself and those geniuses.

As for Dai Yaoheng and the others whom he had previously defeated, Huo Yuhao simply put them out of his mind.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen exchanged a glance.

"Since Huo Yuhao has said so..."

Xiao Hongchen spoke first.

"Alright then, let's show him around together."

Meng Hongchen nodded.

"Okay, it's settled then."

The two finally reached a consensus.

Huo Yuhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

……

The three of them walked out of the soul tool manufacturing room, through a wide corridor, and arrived at an open space.

It was a huge arena, surrounded by tiered spectator stands, where hundreds of people could watch the game at the same time.

Xiao Hongchen stood at the edge of the field, arms outstretched, his face full of pride.

"This is the competition arena of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy."

His voice carried a hint of smugness.

"The academy's annual competition is held here. At that time, all the students in the academy will gather here to showcase their training results over the past year."

"Yes, of course, some personal grudges are also settled on the field."

He turned around and looked at Huo Yuhao, a glint of light flashing in his heterochromatic eyes.

"Huo Yuhao, I'm very curious."

He paused, his tone becoming more tentative.

"How strong are the combat capabilities of your Shrek Academy students?"

"How do they compare to the students of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy?"

Xiao Hongchen acknowledged Huo Yuhao's talent, but it's impossible that everyone at Shrek Academy in the sky is a monster like Huo Yuhao, right?

Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but prick up his ears, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Upon hearing these words, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but recall the freshman competition, where his opponents were quite strong.

After that, even when they fought, they never went all out.

I wonder if I'll be able to find an opportunity to fight during the Five Extremes Grand Competition.

"Everyone at our school is very capable."

Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

Xiao Hongchen didn't say much about Huo Yuhao's words, thinking that when they were out in the world, they naturally couldn't let their family lose face.

In fact, Huo Yuhao should also be the greatest genius in the history of Shrek Academy, right?

In that case, it would be understandable that he could defeat the greatest genius in the history of the Sun and Moon Empire.
