Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel
Chapter 177 Greatness needs no further explanation: The Battle of the Arena and the Sword of Judgmen
Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Medical Rest Room.
The gate was wide open, and Jing Hongchen walked straight in, immediately spotting Ning Tianwufeng and Ling Bai.
Ning Tian and Wu Feng were both exchange students at Shrek Academy. Jing Hongchen escorted them from Maple Leaf City to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. After studying there for a period of time, they naturally became very familiar with each other.
The last time Jing Hongchen saw Ling Bai was at Shrek Academy, when Ling Bai and Han Ruoruo joined forces to kill Yuanxie Douluo.
Nearly three years have passed since then, and these three years are the period of rapid development for teenagers. Ling Bai inherited the outstanding appearance of the six-winged angel lineage. He is tall and elegant, and when he stands there casually, he seems to be radiant, casting a warm and pure holy light on the world.
A hint of amazement welled up in Jing Hongchen's eyes. No wonder Meng Hongchen fell in love at first sight and insisted on going to Shrek Academy to bring Ling Bai back to the Sun Moon Empire. Just speaking of his appearance and temperament, he was truly impeccable.
"Master of the Red Dust Hall".
The three of them stepped forward, as Jing Hongchen was, after all, a titled Douluo senior, and basic etiquette had to be observed.
Jing Hongchen sighed softly, "Xiao Ling, you came to our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to visit a friend. Logically, I should have shown you proper hospitality, but instead, you've made a fool of yourself."
"The attack on Mingde Hall was a deliberate act by powerful forces, and it's nothing to laugh about," Ling Bai said gently.
Jing Hongchen felt slightly relieved, then turned to Ning Tianwufeng and asked:
"Xiao Ning and Xiao Wu, when Mingde Hall was attacked, only you and Huo Yuhao were in the underground base among the Shrek exchange students. Huo Yuhao fell into a coma and hasn't woken up yet, but the doctor said it's not a big problem. How are you two? Are you injured?"
"We're fine," the two women said in unison.
"That's good." Jing Hongchen nodded slightly. "There must be a traitor within the academy. I have ordered the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to be sealed off and the attack to be thoroughly investigated. Everyone must undergo routine questioning."
Shrek Academy exchange students hold a prestigious position, but the necessary procedures still need to be followed. Xiao Ning and Xiao Wu, what have you been doing in the underground base?
Ning Tian pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Feng and I passed the test and entered Mingde Hall for the first time under Teacher Lin's guidance. Teacher Lin was introducing the functions of the experimental table to us when suddenly a huge explosion occurred."
Teacher Lin participated in the defense of Mingde Hall, while we hid under the lab tables until the battle ended.
Hearing her words, Jing Hongchen nodded and asked, "Are there any other details, such as any unusual discoveries?"
"I saw a bone dragon break into the underground base, with a black-haired youth standing on its head," Ning Tian said. "The bone dragon seemed to be targeting the intruders, and it killed a Title Douluo in one fell swoop."
"He also let out a strange, cackling laugh!" Wu Feng added.
Ling Bai's expression froze slightly. What were you saying? What kind of talk was that?!
That's clearly a villain's classic wicked smile!
"Xiao Ling, what about you?"
Ning Tian and Wu Feng's answers were flawless because they were all true and corresponded perfectly with what Lin Jia Ran had said. Jing Hong Chen couldn't find any flaws, so she asked Ling Bai.
Ling Bai said calmly, "I entered the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy this morning to visit Xiao Tian Wu Feng. Mingde Hall is a forbidden area of the academy, and I am not allowed to enter. So I waited for the two of them to finish their classes and then experienced the local customs of Mingdu in the evening."
"Um."
Jing Hongchen understood that the vast majority of Sun Moon Academy students did not have the authority to enter the Mingde Hall. The claim that they knew nothing was the common explanation. They also did not have the strength to fight against the Body Sect's experts, and their teachers had all instructed them to stay in safe places.
To be honest, compared to Ling Bai and the other two, Jing Hongchen was more suspicious of Huo Yuhao, who was unconscious next door. This Mingde Hall Master was almost driven to PTSD by the Body Sect. The Spirit Eye was a Body Martial Soul, and Huo Yuhao might have become an inside agent for the Body Sect.
At that moment, Jing Hongchen continued, "I need to conduct another inspection on you all. Collect all the soul tools on your bodies into your storage soul tools, and then hand them over to me. There can be no omissions."
Upon hearing this, the three men's faces instantly darkened. Ning Tian coldly said, "This is a matter of personal privacy. You have no right to inspect our personal belongings. If the Red Dust Hall Master insists on doing so, then next time I will truthfully inform the Shrek Academy supply officer. Don't forget that your grandchildren are also studying at Shrek Academy."
When acting, one must go all the way and embody integrity.
Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy send people to deliver cultivation resources to their exchange students every month, and also inquire whether the exchange students have been openly bullied.
Ning Tianyi snitched, and the Hongchen siblings were in deep trouble!
Hearing Ning Tian's threat, Jing Hongchen, whose life was in her hands, couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Little Ning, don't be angry. With such a big incident, even a prince would be subject to the same investigation in the academy."
"So, I've decided that from today until the end of the exchange event, your and Xiao Wu's monthly rare metal quotas will be doubled. As for Xiao Ling... I'll personally gift her an eighth-level soul tool!"
Ling Bai comes from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Jing Hongchen's status as the Mingde Hall Master is undeniable. A low-level apology would be unacceptable, and a level nine strategic soul tool would be too high a level; a level eight soul tool would be just right.
The three then took the opportunity to hand over the storage soul tool to Jing Hongchen. Jing Hongchen did not rush to check the storage soul tool, but first took out a soul tool that resembled a hummingbird and had metal detection capabilities.
The hummingbird circled around the three of them, then checked every corner of the room. After confirming that there were no more soul tools in the room, Jing Hongchen began to check the three storage soul tools.
"hiss--"
As he channeled his spiritual energy into it, Jing Hongchen gasped in shock. Wu Feng's storage soul tool was unremarkable, containing only a few pieces of rare, forged metal, tens of thousands of gold soul coins, and a roly-poly toy and a pillow inscribed with Ling Bai and Ning Tian's names.
But Ling Bai and Ning Tian are ridiculously wealthy; the former has an eight-figure net worth, and the latter has an even more outrageous nine-figure net worth!
As expected of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School, which is on par with Mingde Hall in terms of wealth, it is known for its extravagance!
Besides a huge stack of dazzling gold cards, Ning Tian's storage soul tool was filled with level four and level five soul tools he had made himself, as well as imitations of Mingde Hall's high-level soul tools.
Ling Bai's most precious item is the 80,000-year-old Golden Thread Heavenly Serpent Soul Bone. High-level soul tools that can change one's appearance, such as the Thousand Charms Demon Appearance, are also lying in the Undead Demiplane.
Mingdetang suffered heavy losses, while Jiubao Liulizong became incredibly wealthy. The greatest pain in life is when you are miserable while your neighbor is doing better.
With trembling fingers, Jing Hongchen returned the storage soul tool to the three. A sudden pang of pain shot through his heart. He took three deep breaths to regain his composure, coughed to mask his emotions, and said:
"Thank you for understanding Mingde Hall's difficulties. You are firsthand witnesses, and I believe you can all see that these black-clad attackers are members of the Body Sect, and the one riding the bone dragon is the super evil soul master, Death Prison Douluo, who defeated Elder Xuan in the previous Soul Master Competition in Star Luo City."
Because of the Body Sect's reckless actions, the soul guidance facilities in the Mingde Hall's underground base suffered severe damage, causing widespread panic among the thousands of disciples throughout the academy. Furthermore, the Death Prison Douluo may have stolen Mingde Hall's vital secrets!
"They are all bad people!" Ling Bai said indignantly. "The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Body School are both located in the Heavenly Soul Empire. The Body School has always acted domineeringly, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has suffered many hidden losses over the years. The Death Prison Douluo is also an out-and-out demon!"
If I ever break through to the Title Douluo level, I will surely bear the name of the angels and slay them with my sword, restoring peace and order to the Douluo Continent!
Compassionate and righteous!
Relieve suffering and distress, and bring salvation to all beings!
Greatness needs no further explanation!
"Well said! This is how a successor of the six-winged angel should be. I didn't wrongly give you this level eight soul tool!"
These words struck a chord with Jing Hongchen, who burst into laughter and clapped enthusiastically.
His upright and righteous image made Ning Tian look up to him with great admiration. His azure eyes sparkled with admiration, and he fell in love without thinking.
Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. Jing Hongchen and Ning Tian looked certain, but Wu Feng, rubbing his snow-white chin, secretly harbored doubts.
"Wait, when did this bastard become so upright..."
Jing Hongchen chuckled for a while, then finally remembered the imposing presence of the Mingde Hall Master. He quickly withdrew his bared teeth and said seriously:
"Xiao Ling, you participated in the last Soul Master Competition as a regular member of Shrek Academy, right?"
"Um."
Jing Hongchen pondered for a moment and said, "Today's surprise attack has deeply affected me. Mingde Hall suffered heavy losses, partly because the Soul Masters trained by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy do not have enough combat experience against powerful Soul Masters."
They usually live within the circle of Soul Masters, and face the conflicts between Soul Masters themselves, so I have a suggestion and would like to ask for your opinion.
Ling Bai realized Jing Hongchen's thoughts, and sure enough, Jing Hongchen rubbed his hands together and laughed:
Shrek Academy is the number one Soul Master Academy on the continent, and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is the number one Soul Master Academy on the continent.
Since you've come all this way to the Sun Moon Empire, why not stay a little longer and gain some experience as a Battle Soul Instructor?
"I plan to organize a friendly match between Soul Masters and Soul Instructors at the academy, with you as the lead, so that the Soul Instructors of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy can witness the fighting style of Soul Masters. Since your Soul Power was level 69 when you registered, I'll select students below level 7 Soul Instructor, how about that?"
Jing Hongchen looked at Ling Bai with hopeful eyes, but he only spoke the high-sounding part.
The attack on Mingde Hall, the sacred ground of the Soul Master world, is equivalent to the attack on Shrek Seagod Island, the sacred ground of the Soul Master world. Now the entire academy is under lockdown and being investigated, and the students are in a state of panic. Jing Hongchen's real intention is to divert the attention of the Sun Moon students.
While buying time, a group of Jing Hongchen's confidants were working diligently to resume the production of humanoid soul guides in the Earth's Core Chamber. With past experience, the recovery was much faster, but the wealth accumulated by Mingde Hall would be greatly reduced.
"Farewell, Hall Master. There are quite a few people at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy who hate me. I'm afraid someone might bombard me with a level nine fixed soul tool or a level nine charged soul cannon."
Ling Bai shook his head like a rattle.
Shrek Academy disciple, the previous tournament shattered Sun Moon Academy's dream of winning the championship, Meng Hongchen loudly proclaimed love at first sight, and Ning Tianwufeng stirred up another wave of hatred. He was worried that a certain Sun Moon Academy student would take the opportunity to disregard martial ethics.
"Don't worry, the use of level 8 and 9 fixed equipment and charged soul tools is prohibited in this friendly match. Triggered soul tools can only be used as soul tool shields. I will be there in person to protect your safety," Jing Hongchen assured him, patting his chest.
"Well, it seems like that's not a bad idea after all."
Ling Bai smiled, and under Jing Hongchen's eager gaze, he changed the subject, saying, "But I have to get something in return, right? I won't make things difficult for Hall Master Hongchen. You promised to give me an eighth-level soul tool before, and I hope you can give me the Sword of Judgment that Captain Ma of your academy used in the last competition."
Furthermore, fighting a level six Soul Master is pointless for me. How about you upgrade the challenger's strength to level eight Soul Master?
Ling Bai felt embarrassed by all the constant requests for food and gifts, so he decided not to ask for an exorbitant amount and set his sights on the level-eight soul tool, the Sword of Judgment.
The world's Xuan Lao suffered a mental breakdown and returned to Shrek Academy ahead of schedule. Ma Xiaotao did not fall into the Black Phoenix. In the end, the Sword of Judgment was brought back to the academy by the Sun and Moon Team.
Damaging the Heavenly Meteorite Iron Sword belonging to the Sword Maniac Ji Juechen was an unintentional mistake. That thing was far inferior in quality to the Angelic Holy Sword. Ling Bai also saw Ji Juechen's talent and wanted to use it to recruit him as a henchman.
Another purpose was fishing!
We've arrived at the evil spirit master's stronghold. If we don't kill a few more to rid the people of this scourge (and boost our soul power), even the Angel God won't forgive us!
The open-air arena battle was bait, signaling the arrival of the Holy Spirit Cult's six-winged angels. Given the Holy Spirit Cult's volatile temper, they would surely send people to prevent any trouble.
Since the Holy Spirit Cult is cooperating with Crown Prince Xu Tianran, they will not destroy the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which plays a pivotal role in the Sun Moon Empire. They are more likely hiding near the academy, waiting for the six-winged angels to come out and deliver a fatal blow.
The holy and the evil have been irreconcilable since ancient times. The six-winged angel is born with the ability to sense evil soul masters. Combined with Ling Bai's Spider Emperor sense, he can easily judge the strength of the attacker.
If it turns out to be Death God Douluo Ye Xishui or Holy Spirit Cult Master Zhongli Wu, Qianmei Yaorong can disguise herself as Death Prison Douluo, dive into the Undead Demiplane, and choose one of three options to run back to Shrek Academy/Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.
However, the probability of them taking action is not high. Six-winged angels have not appeared for thousands of years, and no one knows whether they really have the legendary ability to purify evil. They will most likely send elders and worshippers to ambush and kill them.
"The eighth-level soul tool, the Sword of Judgment... is acceptable." Jing Hongchen said slowly. "Then the friendly match will last for three days. The first day is set for tomorrow morning. I will select a genius soul master under the age of thirty to fight against you. The strongest among them will be a seventh-level soul master."
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has only four level-nine soul masters, including Jing Hongchen. Level-eight soul masters are already senior teachers, so it would be beneath them to compete against a student from another school. Limiting them to those under thirty years old preserves some of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's reputation.
"Let's make it clear beforehand: we cannot severely injure or kill any of our Sun Moon Academy students," Jing Hongchen emphasized.
"Of course, I have never liked killing."
