From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 588: Reunion with the Shrek brothers after ten years.

"Let's not," Chen Hong chuckled. "If you had shown up in that era, you probably wouldn't be alive today."

Faced with Chen Hong's teasing, Lan Yuan did not object, but nodded solemnly in deep agreement, saying, "Indeed, getting too involved with that era will only make you a target, and then you will perish in an attack that comes from who knows where."

"Big whale, don't forget our promise." Ye Lingling looked at Lan Yuan and said coldly.

"Don't worry, I won't forget." Lan Yuan nodded, then chatted with Chen Hong for a few more minutes before saying goodbye and leaving.

"I've been away for too long, I have to go back. Just call me when you need me." Lan Yuan said solemnly to Chen Hong, then turned around, tore open space, and his physical body traversed space, disappearing from sight.

"Will the giant whale keep its promise?" Ye Lingling looked at the spot where Lan Yuan had just left, where the torn space had instantly healed itself.

"Hehe, it's unnecessary, Lingling." Chen Hong smiled indifferently, then got up and took Ye Lingling to the Soto City-State, which they hadn't returned to for a long time. He then settled down and entered Soto University of Technology, becoming an ordinary lecturer.

"Let's enjoy this last bit of time together, okay?" Standing in front of the imposing gates of Soto University of Technology, Chen Hong, with his approachable demeanor, tall stature, and a touch of refined elegance, smiled at the silver-haired girl beside him, who was also tall and wearing a beige trench coat with blue stripes.

"Hmm." The silver-haired girl looked at Chen Hong with gentle eyes that resembled stars, a hint of warmth flashing in them, and softly hummed in agreement: "Okay, Teacher Chen."

The next day, the entire Technological Federation received an exciting message: the Martial Soul Technology University, located in the Soto City-State, welcomed two ordinary but god-level professors!

The two of them each offered two courses to the entire school's faculty and students, namely:

"The Origin of Life": Ye Lingling's own insights into life.

"Fundamentals of Soul Tools": Chen Hong's basic insights into the current research field of soul tools.

The arrival of the two caused people from all over the world to flock to the Soto City-State of Douluo Continent, wanting to hear Chen Hong and Ye Lingling's lessons!

Such an opportunity to directly inquire about the pinnacle of the world's knowledge system is truly rare! Especially in Ye Lingling's "The Origin of Life" course, Ye Lingling will use her Nine-Leaf Green Lotus to guide everyone through the mysteries of life's evolution!

On Chen Hong's "Fundamentals of Soul Tools", Chen Hong was able to directly ignite the wisdom of all the students in the school and impart knowledge of divine runes to them!

Before they knew it, three months had passed quietly. Chen Hong's aura became increasingly ordinary, and even Ye Lingling sometimes almost forgot about his presence.

"Professor Chen, may I ask you a question?" One day, in a crowded classroom, a young man suddenly asked Chen Hong a question.

"Yes, please go ahead." Chen Hong, standing on the podium, looked at the person asking the question as if he were an ordinary person, with a faint smile on his lips.

Below the stage, Oscar excitedly stood up and asked, "Professor Chen! May I ask about the final stage of the three realms of Soul Rings?"

Standing on the stage, where everyone was focused on him, Chen Hong looked at the excited Oscar below, and Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, and Zhu Zhuqing beside him. A faint smile appeared on his face as he recalled the time he spent on the lawn of Shrek Academy teaching the Shrek Seven Devils the Soul Ring Theory he had just compiled: "The final realm of the three levels of Soul Rings, the Heaven and Man Harmony Realm, can be simply understood as a domain."

On the lawn inside the Martial Soul Technology University, the brilliant sunset in the distance left a dazzling trail of colorful clouds on the horizon. Chen Hong, sitting on the lawn, slowly withdrew his gaze, looked at Oscar and the others in front of him, and smiled, "Unconsciously, it's been a long time since we last met."

Although Chen Hong is only about twenty-four years old, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed when he thought about the last time he came into contact with the Shrek Seven Devils was ten years ago.

"Everyone's cultivation level is up to par, that's good." Chen Hongwen looked at Oscar and the others. The four people in front of him were about the same age as him, and their cultivation levels had all reached the Soul Saint level. Oscar and Ning Rongrong had the highest cultivation levels, approaching the Soul Douluo level. Ma Hongjun and Zhu Zhuqing were a little lower, but not by much, both reaching around level 75.

"Hahaha, compared to Brother Chen, he's far inferior!" Ma Hongjun laughed heartily. Chen Hong in front of him didn't have that aloofness that kept people at arm's length; on the contrary, he was exceptionally approachable.

"You can't compare like that." Chen Hong shook his head with a smile, looking at Ning Rongrong and the others and said with a smile, "When I was a Soul King, I obtained the soul ring of the 400,000-year-old soul beast Ice Emperor. When I was a Soul Emperor, I obtained the soul ring of the 690,000-year-old soul beast Snow Emperor. I had level 20 soul power, but I probably only cultivated it to level four or five myself, hahaha."

"Only when I was at level 70 did I slowly cultivate the ten levels of soul power at the Soul Saint stage. Then, when I reached level 80, I obtained the Soul Ring of the Evil Eye Tyrant, a Soul Ring that was over 700,000 years old. I didn't linger at level 80 for a moment and went straight to level 90."

As Chen Hong spoke, he slowly opened his palm, and a nine-layered wheel the size of a face plate slowly emerged in the eyes of the others.

"Then, at level 90, without a moment's sadness for the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, the next one to arrive was the ultimate soul beast, the Ocean Supreme Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who had been around for 990,000 years." Chen Hong pointed to the outermost blood-gold soul ring and laughed, "Then I went straight from level 90 to level 99 in one go."

"Wow..." Oscar and the others, who were hearing this story for the first time, stared in disbelief at the exaggerated spirit ring roulette wheel in Chen Hong's hand.

Because the Soul Ring Wheel in front of them was red, red, red, red, light gold, gold, chaos, dark gold, blood gold!

The lowest level of the nine-layered spirit rings is red! Gold rings make up half of them!

If a spirit ring can only gather 10% of a spirit beast's spirit power, then Chen Hong's nine spirit rings combined mean that his spirit power is comparable to that of a 700,000-year-old spirit beast! That's a spirit beast! A spirit beast known for its enormous spirit power!

"Huh...can we do that too?" Ning Rongrong's mouth gaped slightly as she looked incredulously at the nine-layered soul ring in Chen Hong's hand. She understood that all the other red or gold rings were illusory; only the chaotic ring on the seventh layer, whose color was indistinct, was the core ability!

"That depends on whether you can persuade the soul beast," Chen Hong said with a smile.
