Douluo Huo Yuhao: My Clone is Too Self-Disciplined

This Mingde Hall doesn't belong to Jing Hongchen alone; he's just a hall master.

Mingde Hall was not founded by Jing Hongchen; it was simply that he carried it forward and made it great.

Mingde Hall is ultimately the Mingde Hall of the Sun and Moon Empire, the Mingde Hall of the Sun and Moon Imperial Family.

As long as those Soul Masters are from the Sun Moon Empire, Jing Hongchen has no reason not to allow them to enter their original workshops.

We are all citizens of the Sun Moon Empire, why make things difficult for each other? Aren't all the research we do ultimately contributing to the Empire?
Mingdetang isn't a private company!
Why would a state-owned enterprise engage in such practices?
Their defection was wrong, but then again, they were all serving the empire, so Jing Hongchen's actions were somewhat detrimental to unity.

The royal family had urged him to do something about this many times. Jing Hongchen had clearly angered everyone, but he was stubborn and wouldn't listen to any advice.

After that, nothing came of it.

After all, Jing Hongchen still wields some influence within the Sun Moon Empire.

This time, the Second Best Under Heaven will resolve this matter completely.

Mingde Hall gathers all the scientific research achievements of the Sun Moon Empire. Before the Equipment Department was developed, Mingde Hall was the most suitable place for Soul Masters to live.

We can't let those level nine soul masters be left without work because of him!

Moreover, being blacklisted by one's own faction is disgusting. Even if someone is completely clueless about human relationships, they can still sense the resentment in the hearts of their subordinates.

We need to resolve this as soon as possible.

In Huo Yuhao's words, these are all free cattle and horses. If even these people are not treated well, then one is truly unworthy of being a capitalist.

The Second Under Heaven believed that restoring Jing Hongchen's face, recovering his losses, and giving him dignity, simply by removing some people from the blacklist, was a very worthwhile deal, and Jing Hongchen had no reason to disagree.

But to everyone's surprise, Jing Hongchen blushed instantly upon hearing his words, her neck thickened, and she righteously refused.

"Don't even think about it. How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed? I will never forgive those who betray me. Since they think their equipment is not as good as Mingde Hall's, then they can stay in the equipment department. Trying to choose sides while also wanting to enjoy Mingde Hall's resources? There's no such thing as a free lunch. I will never use my own resources to train your subordinates."

Upon hearing this, the Second Best Under Heaven immediately shook his head, "Teacher, your perspective is still too narrow."

"How did it become about training my subordinates? They are all the empire's elite. We are selecting talent for the empire. When did it become about you and me?"

"Besides, sometimes it's good to look for the reasons within ourselves. Why would they abandon the well-paid Mingde Hall and turn to my Equipment Department, a force that has only been established for a short time?"

"I didn't actively entice them to join. You know I wouldn't stoop to doing that kind of thing. They just have a better view of the future of the Equipment Department."

"I won't listen to your nonsense," Jing Hongchen sneered. "All other conditions are fine, but this one thing is unacceptable. If we set this precedent, what will become of my Mingde Hall?"

The Second Under Heaven knew that Jing Hongchen's attitude would be tough, but he didn't expect it to be this tough.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If there were no punishment for betraying a faction, things would really be out of control.

Once this precedent is set, Mingdetang will likely fall apart immediately, with everyone defecting to the Armed Forces.

After all, how could someone who left Mingdetang and joined the Armed Forces Department be able to return to work at Mingdetang?
However, being second to none is simply about having a passion for things, turning the impossible into the possible.

"Teacher, don't be so rigid. Think of it this way: I'll make those who betray me go back to work at Mingde Hall, so what about those who are good to me? Wouldn't they get even more in return?"

"Understand the applause!"

Jing Hongchen was slightly taken aback when he heard the words "second in the world".

Yes, if he can forgive traitors, then those who follow him wholeheartedly will surely receive rewards many times greater than they did.

Thinking about it that way, this deal isn't so bad.

However, Jing Hongchen felt that something was amiss.

But the situation was critical, and he didn't want to think about it too much. "Let's discuss this carefully when we get back. Let's deal with the immediate problem first! Are you confident?"

Jing Hongchen has already relented, and the objective has been achieved. The next step is to deal with Du Busi and those Title Douluos from the Body Sect.

The moment the two finished speaking, countless whooshing sounds came from afar.

Dozens of titled Douluo from the original body stood in the air and rushed towards them at high speed, each of them holding a miserable figure in their hands.

These are all level nine soul masters from Mingde Hall who have just escaped.

These Soul Masters had their flying Soul Tools shattered, and each of them suffered extremely horrific torture.

One can only imagine how brutal and ruthless these people from the Body Sect were.

"What a bunch of useless trash. Not a single one of them managed to escape, and they were caught so quickly."

Jing Hongchen cursed angrily. He wished he could kill all these good-for-nothings, but when he thought about the consequences of killing them, he could only grit his teeth in silence.

But I'm sure I'll make things difficult for them when we get back.

They're completely useless; they're not even as reliable as a teenager.

Sometimes Jing Hongchen would think that if the second-best in the world wasn't so greedy, he could have stayed and been his disciple. If they had joined forces, the Sun Moon Empire would have been theirs.

It's a pity that there is no if.

He and the second-best in the world are destined to be enemies, and a battle is inevitable in the future, but for now, they are allies.

"Have you two finished talking? I'm tired of hearing it."

Du Bu Si roared, his voice full of energy. While Tianxia Di Er and Jing Hongchen were chatting, he quickly recovered his soul power, which was further replenished by the soul power from his soul core.

His soul power has recovered to three-tenths, which is barely enough.

With soul power in hand, I naturally felt more confident.

In addition, his men have all returned.

These Soul Masters are incredibly powerful when they unite, but once they are separated, each of them is no match for an ordinary Title Douluo.

The elites of the Body Sect could easily defeat them.

At this speed, I'm quite satisfied with the fact that the poison doesn't kill me.

Now that everyone else has been captured, all that's left is to subdue Jing Hongchen and his disciple, and today's mission will be successfully completed.

To Du Busi's surprise, even in the face of such an imposing presence and so many elite Title Douluos from the Body Sect, the young man before him remained unfazed and did not even make a move to stand up.

That's incredibly arrogant!

"Kid, you've been arrogant in the Sun Moon Empire for so long, you've never seen any real powerhouses, have you? Today, I'll show you what it means to be outmatched and to be in a world of your own."

After saying that, Poison Undying's aura suddenly surged, and green poisonous mist began to fill the sky.

His body rapidly expanded, transforming into a gigantic figure hundreds of meters tall, blotting out the sky, in just a few breaths. The atmosphere at the scene immediately became tense and confrontational.

But the second-best in the world remained unfazed.

"If your ceremonial procession is that 100,000-year-old dragon, then I can only say that you are far too naive. More than ten years ago, I led the elites of my sect to tear apart three 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. They couldn't even last a single move against me."

"This 100,000-year-old soul beast is the same. Today, I will show you just how vulnerable your entourage is."

"Shut up!" the Second Under Heaven said coldly. Then, several beams of light appeared around him, and seven puppets of different shapes appeared beside him, standing side by side on the top of the dragon's head.

Each of them carried a high-level fixed-position soul-guided launcher, and without needing the second-best order in the world, countless tongues of fire spewed out from the fixed-position soul-guided launchers.

Each one is a level 8.5 fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shell.

Six bullets were fired simultaneously, all aimed at Poison Undying's massive body, leaving him with no way to avoid them.

However, Du Bu Si was clearly already familiar with the tricks of these Soul Masters, and he just smiled coldly.

Eighth Soul Skill - Feast of Death

The instant these shells were launched, the eighth blood-red spirit ring behind Poison Undying flashed, and one of its skills was quietly released.

A terrifying combat power was released in the air. Du Busi made a gesture of supporting the sky with both hands, and beams of green light were released from his body, heading towards the fire snake in the air.

Each green beam of light hit the fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs with great precision. At the same time, the remaining green beams all headed towards the giant dragon under the feet of the Second Under Heaven. Even though the dragon was enormous, it was still enveloped by the poisonous green light, which covered the entire area.

This was his eighth soul skill, Death Feast, each green light containing a dissolving poison. It was also his strongest attack among group attacks.

The cannonballs fired by the second-best puppet in the world were melted the moment they touched the green light, without even making a sound.

All I can say is that poison gas is terrifying.

To deal with a soul-guided cannon that cannot be killed by poison, you need to be at least level nine.

These level eight soul-guided cannonballs can only consume a little bit of Poison Undying's soul power.

However, the Second Best Under Heaven showed no panic on his face, but instead calmly looked at Poison Undying.

The six puppets were constantly firing soul-guided projectiles, just like artillery emplacements.

As for the poisonous gas that was spreading towards the wind dragon?
The wind dragon roared and shook the heavens in the sky, its cry never ceasing.

With the flapping of its six wings, countless terrifying hurricanes appeared, blowing away all the poisonous gas. Powerful gales swirled around it, forming gale barriers.

Poison gas cannot be brought close, and poison gas bombs cannot attack the target.

On the other hand, the soul-guided cannonballs that were fired were amplified in power by the wind and the hurricane.

The Poison Undying skill is a one-time attack, but those puppets, who are second to none in the world, are firing fixed-position soul-guided cannons like they don't care about the cost.

At first, he could easily extinguish the attacks even if he wasn't poisoned, but later, after the skill's effect wore off, he could only withstand them with his bare body.

After a quarter of an hour of venting, even with Poison-Invincible's strong defenses, his dark green body was now completely black.

It was created by bombing.

Du Bu Si gasped, feeling as if the air had suddenly become much thinner.

Unexpectedly, Jing Hongchen is an old hedgehog, and his student is a little hedgehog.

The 100,000-year-old soul beast that he considered a barely threatening threat hadn't even made a move before it was blasted into pieces by the cannonballs.

To be beaten like this by a seventh-ring Soul Saint, the last time I encountered something like this was when it happened to Yuwen Tuo.

But that was when he gave in, unlike the current situation.

How could such a talent emerge in this empire?

It will surely become a major problem in the future.

Ultimately, we couldn't keep him.

At this moment, Du Bu Si's eyes were filled with killing intent. He didn't care whether he killed Jing Hong Chen or not, as he was the best person to exchange for money. However, he had to kill this disciple of Jing Hong Chen who had suddenly appeared.

If we don't kill him, he'll become a menace sooner or later.

"You all take on the firepower for me, I'll go and kill that dragon."

Now that we are outnumbered, it's impossible for Poison Failure to kill us in a one-on-one fight, since we're doing something bad and there's no room for chivalry.

His Hellfire invincibility is almost used up; it's time to take down the opponent in one fell swoop.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Hell Poison Dragon Drill".

The black and reddish sixth soul ring on Du Bu Si's body flickered slightly, and a powerful surge of soul power emanated from it. His body began to spin rapidly.

This sixth soul skill is his only dash skill.

Even if the size is huge, it doesn't matter. On the contrary, the larger the size, the stronger the impact force and the faster the speed when it spins.

Poison Undying is like a spinning top hundreds of meters long, which spins in the air and then rushes straight towards the second-best in the world.

The hurricanes that the wind dragon had just transformed into were utterly insignificant in his eyes, easily crushed and left without a trace.

With the barrier shattered, and it seemed the Hellfire Dragon Drill, which was supposed to be invincible, was about to strike the Second Best Under Heaven and the Wind Dragon.

But at this moment, Jing Hongchen was still acting as if nothing had happened, continuing to recover his soul power. He was like an outsider watching a show, not caring at all about the life or death of the second-best in the world.

"The real show is just beginning!"

Jing Hongchen glanced at Du Busi with disdain. If he were to fail in his attempt to steal someone's belongings, the Body Sect would lose face big time in the future.

He was really looking forward to seeing the shocked expression on Du Bu Si's face.

"You're really pathetic! Kid, I have to thank you for interrupting Jing Hongchen's self-destruction, but that's where you end up."

As he was about to hit the second-best in the world, Poison Undying's face was filled with elation.

If we were any closer, we could crush them, and this farce would be over.

But what shocked Poison Undying was...
