Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Chapter 212 The Scene of Mirror Red Dust's Social Death

Xu Yang's tone was becoming more and more like that of someone from a country where life was good, while Ye Yulin was adding fuel to the fire.

"Xiao Jing, if you don't want to, I can do it for you."

"Although my status is not as authoritative as yours, as long as I show the Sun and Moon Divine Needle, my status as a level nine Soul Master cannot be faked, and I think my persuasiveness will definitely not be low."

Provoked by Ye Yulin's words, Jing Hongchen quickly made a decision.

He desperately wanted to surpass Shrek Academy; he dreamed about it constantly!

Ever since the Sun Moon Empire established the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, for thousands of years without exception, they have always been overshadowed by Shrek Academy in the Soul Master Competition.

It became the true runner-up for a thousand years.

Over time, this has become a major concern for successive deans of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

"But—how exactly should we do it?"

Jing Hongchen had no experience in this area at all; it was like a young woman getting married for the first time, and she looked at the two of them somewhat at a loss.

Ye Yulin and Xu Yang's eyes met in the air. Jing Hongchen had a feeling that the two of them had ill intentions, but unfortunately he couldn't find any evidence.

"Dean Hongchen, you put this on. When the time comes, you only need to show your spirit rings on stage, and leave the rest to me."

""

Xu Yang said mysteriously.

"Can----"

"No buts, little mirror."

"If you keep dawdling, they'll be almost done. It won't be easy to find this good opportunity again next time."

"Remember to stay focused and don't lose any points!"

Ye Yulin urged Jing Hongchen to go on stage, almost kicking him onto the field.

Mirror of the mortal world has no other choice.

Following Xu Yang's instructions, he placed the level-nine flying soul tool behind him, while nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—appeared in sequence beneath his feet, flashing continuously, demonstrating his status as a nine-ring titled Douluo and a level-nine soul master.

Then, to Jing Hongchen's utter dismay, the amplifying soul tool that Xu Yang had given him earlier started to activate.

"One Star Luo, one Shrek?"

"You think you can gang up on everyone and deceive us because we don't know the truth?"

The voice emitted by the amplified soul guide device was exactly the same as his, reaching everyone's ears.

But Jing Hongchen knew in his heart that he hadn't said anything.

All of this was a charade orchestrated by Xu Yang behind his back.

This part is a tribute to the Shrek ancestors, although those ancestors are probably now crippled.

However, there have been some changes. Compared to the anger in the original version, Xu Yang's tone is more of a calm questioning.

Jing Hongchen felt embarrassed, but years of holding a high position had honed his composure, so he completed this major social disaster without changing his expression.

The reason he cooperated so readily was probably because, according to Xu Yang, only in this way could he best showcase his "high-class" image.

Although Jing Hongchen is an experiment geek and doesn't understand what "highbrow" really means.

However, in order to maximize the effect, he went against his conscience and kept convincing himself to do as Xu Yang said.

Jing Hongchen's commotion naturally attracted the attention of everyone present, and Xu Jiawei's speech was immediately interrupted, but no one dared to make a move.

Nine spirit rings were laid out there—a titled Douluo, one that could be found in the entire audience.

However, Xu Jiawei, as the emperor, could not accept being humiliated like this. Jing Hongchen's actions were undoubtedly a challenge to his authority.

Soon, Xingluo's side took action.

Inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace, three figures leaped up; they were several worshippers from the Star Luo Empire's Hall of Worship.

The three enshrined figures stood ready, surrounding Jing Hongchen from three different directions.

Their decision not to act immediately was clearly due to some concerns; if they did act, things could escalate and become difficult to manage.

Jing Hongchen remained calm, not for any other reason than that among the three Title Douluos on the other side, not even a single Super Douluo could be found.

This lineup could easily defeat anyone, even before he broke through to the next level.

Now he can say it with confidence.

"Even with the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy at his disposal, Jing Hongchen remains invincible throughout the Star Luo Empire!"

Jing Hongchen remained silent, as he still had to cooperate with Xu Yang's charade in the audience.

Jing Hongchen — to be precise, it was Xu Yang. His tone was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Before that, please do not make any rash moves. Let me finish speaking, otherwise, if anything bad happens, don't blame me."

To prevent Xu Jiawei from acting recklessly, Xu Yang gave him a heads-up.

"Everyone, don't be too nervous."

"I'm just someone who can't stand your behavior of using illusions to deceive everyone. You can completely regard me as a public-spirited and charitable person. First of all, please allow me to introduce myself."

My name is Jing Hongchen.

"As you can see, I am also a level nine Soul Master, and I also serve as the Dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

Xu Yang paused for a moment after speaking.

However, it did not cause too much of a stir, because many of the academies in the Soul Master Competition had their teams led by their deans.

Even Shrek Academy sent its Martial Soul Department Dean. Therefore, it was perfectly normal for Jing Hongchen, as the Dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, to come in person, in everyone's eyes.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yang continued to speak.

"Perhaps—you are more familiar with my other identity."

"I also have another identity: the head of Mingde Hall."

"I believe that most of you here have either bought or heard of soul guides from Mingdetang."

"Next time, remember to come directly to Mingdetang and mention my name, and I can give you a 50% discount."

However, this was said in a half-joking manner, and everyone knew perfectly well that no one would be foolish enough to buy a soul tool from Mingde Hall.

"Alright, I've finished the opening remarks."

"There is a reason why I say that the Star Luo Empire and Shrek Academy are deceiving everyone into knowing nothing."

"His Majesty the Emperor is partly right. In order to ensure the fairness of this Soul Master Competition, he has obtained a soul tool that can be used to shield against mental interference."

"However, this soul tool is produced by my Mingde Hall."

"That's the reason why."

"This soul tool detected the intrusion of an unknown spiritual force, but the source of this unknown spiritual force is not what everyone just heard, but from an unfamiliar powerful figure."

"It's Huo Yuhao from Shrek Academy!"

To prove himself, Xu Yang even had Jing Hongchen produce a detection device that matched the one the referee had been holding earlier.

All eyes turned to Shrek Academy, where Huo Yuhao was lying unconscious in Ma Xiaotao's arms.

Yan Shaozhe remained silent with a gloomy face. If he made a move, it would be no different from admitting defeat without being asked.
