Douluo Huo Yuhao: My Clone is Too Self-Disciplined

Chapter 90 Telling Stories with Jing Hongchen (Please Subscribe)
Jing Hongchen is the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Although he usually stays in the research room of Mingde Hall, he will occasionally return to the academy's office to sit for a while, like now.

Led by Shadow, the Second Under Heaven quickly arrived at the Dean's office. After a gentle knock, a dignified voice came out.

"Come in~"

The Second Under Heaven pushed open the door and entered, while Shadow wisely left. The Second Under Heaven successfully met the Dean, the Hall Master of Mingde Hall, the most powerful ninth-level Soul Master in the entire Sun Moon Empire besides Kong Deming.

Jing Hongchen's appearance is indeed hard to describe. If it weren't for the fact that Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen's martial souls were inherited from him, some people might really doubt that his two grandsons were not his biological sons.

However, this short and stout man was one of the noblest people in the entire Sun Moon Empire. He had a powerful aura, sharp eyes, and a wise gaze.

The Second Under Heaven sized up Jing Hongchen, and Jing Hongchen did the same, nodding with satisfaction as he looked at him. "Not bad, not bad. You're quite good, kid."

Jing Hongchen spoke up, and the Second Under Heaven also respectfully asked, "May I ask why the Dean has summoned me here?"

Jing Hongchen smiled immediately. He remained seated in his chair, silently watching the second-best in the world, and said with a playful expression, "Since you're so good at guessing, why don't you try to guess? There's a prize if you guess right."

The Second Under Heaven also smiled, but he looked just as cold. He had no idea what Jing Hongchen wanted him to do. He only knew that Jing Hongchen must be incredibly curious and would definitely have a lot of questions to ask him.

"Dean, you're joking. I really couldn't have guessed. All I know is that you have a lot of questions for me."

"Oh? You guessed pretty accurately! Well then, why don't you guess what I want to ask you!"

If he was just joking before, now Jing Hongchen's eyes were terrifyingly sharp, and his aura suddenly changed, clearly indicating that he was serious.

"Then the student will dare to guess."

The Eye of Truth flickered in the eyes of the second-best in the world, allowing him to remain calm under the pressure of Mirror Red Dust before he spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"The dean is curious about my background. I guess you can't find any information about me, so you're very distressed about it..."

"The dean is curious about my true purpose in coming to the academy. You've realized you can't see through me..."

"The dean is very curious about how much soul guidance knowledge I've learned in the past month, and how many people I've won over..."

"Was the student's guess correct?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Hongchen's face turned sharp, and at the same time, he wore a strange smile.

"You're really smart, you guessed exactly what I was going to ask, but..."

Jing Hongchen suddenly paused, then abruptly stood up, walked to the Second Under Heaven, stared at him, and said, word by word.

Now that you know, aren't you afraid?

"Because I'm not afraid of being second to none," he replied firmly.

"Why aren't you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid!" "Hahahaha, you've got guts, you're just my type."

After laughing wildly for a while, Jing Hongchen immediately sat back down in his chair. He stared at the second-best in the world with a smile on his face and slowly said, "Boy, now try to answer me. If your answer satisfies me, I will give you an unimaginable reward. This is a reward that even my own grandchildren at this age cannot receive."

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

"The student wants to tell the dean a story. It's a long story and might take up a little of your time."

"It's alright, I love listening to stories, and I hope your story will satisfy me."

Upon hearing this, even the second-best in the world could only smile and nod before preparing to speak.

Just as Jing Hongchen asked him for an answer, the Second Under Heaven used his innate ability to sense that there were no fewer than five lie detectors and various monitoring soul tools in the room.

He originally wanted to play a dare with Jing Hongchen, but now he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to tell him the truth.

In any case, when a statement is three parts false and seven parts true, the lie becomes the truth.

"A long, long time ago, the Star Luo Empire had an outstanding Duke of White Tiger. He was powerful, had made great military achievements, and was stationed on the border for many years to protect his country. He even invaded the territory of enemy countries several times."

Jing Hongchen listened attentively, but as he listened, a playful smile appeared on his lips. Good heavens, this kid is using stories to tell about Duke White Tiger!
Jing Hongchen is also very knowledgeable about border affairs. In peacetime, only the current White Tiger Duke Dai Hao has ever invaded the border of the Star Luo Empire.

In other words, the person who said "second in the world" is Dai Hao. This kid is actually related to the White Tiger Duke. No wonder I couldn't find out.

Things seem to be getting interesting!
"This great Duke of the White Tiger was very devoted to his wife. He only married one wife and one concubine in his life and had three children. But this was only on the surface."

"After a drunken one-night stand, he had an affair with the Duchess's maid. He left without giving her any title or status and never returned to the Duchess's mansion, dedicating himself to guarding the border for his cause."

"Let's skip the minor details and get straight to the point, Dean!"

"This maid is pregnant and has given birth to a son for Duke White Tiger. Unfortunately, his bloodline is not good enough and he has not awakened the White Tiger Martial Soul. Instead, it has mutated into a pair of useless Eyes Martial Soul."

"The Duchess, therefore, had no scruples and began to abuse the mother and son without restraint. In the end, the mother could not bear it and died. The young boy knelt in front of his mother's grave and vowed to make the White Tiger Duke's Mansion pay the price and to make all those who hurt the mother and son pay a terrible price."

"After cultivating his soul power to level ten, he left the Duke's mansion and resolutely went to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Jing Hongchen listened attentively, his expression serious. Although he was a powerful and domineering figure, he was also the grandfather of two grandsons.

He raised Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen single-handedly, so he was able to empathize with the second-best in the world. At this moment, his gaze towards the second-best in the world softened considerably.

"So, how did this boy in the story manage to break through from level ten to level thirty in such a short time? And how did his martial spirit evolve?"

Although Jing Hongchen couldn't see through it, the second-best person in the world to be able to refine a level four soul tool must have at least the cultivation level of a Soul Venerable.
