Douluo Huo Yuhao: My Clone is Too Self-Disciplined

Chapter 92 Jing Hongchen's Amazing Gamble with the Second Best in the World (Please Subscribe)
Jing Hongchen offered a reward, but the Second Under Heaven was not very satisfied. After telling the story, he could dispel Jing Hongchen's doubts. Therefore, gaining Jing Hongchen's trust was inevitable, and this reward could hardly be considered a reward.

"Dean, you promised me a generous reward that even your own grandchildren wouldn't receive at this age, but I haven't seen any sincerity from you yet!"

"Good lad, there are countless people in the entire Sun Moon Empire, including the Douluo Continent, who want to gain my trust, Jing Hongchen, yet you don't take it seriously at all."

The second most humble person in the world said, "Dean, I'm a very pragmatic person."

"Hahahaha, interesting. I don't like to freeload. Even my family members have to pay a price if they want something from me."

Jing Hongchen adjusted his glasses, then stared at the second-best in the world, saying with admiration, "Compared to a researcher, I'm more like a businessman, which is why I enjoy making deals. The reward just now was merely a small token."

"You have one last question left to answer, and your answer will determine how much of a reward you can get from me."

This reward is completely different from the previous one. This reward will be so great that you can't even imagine it, and it might even drive the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy crazy.

"So please tell me, how much have you actually learned in the library over the past month?"

After Jing Hongchen finished speaking, his face showed admiration and madness, and the second-best in the world felt the same way. Wasn't he building up for this moment for so long?

The second-best in the world was full of confidence. He released his Eye of Truth, and his body radiated a wise light.

"Dean, I have learned everything."

……

Having seemingly grown accustomed to the sheer absurdity of the Second Under Heaven, Jing Hongchen was only momentarily stunned when he heard the Second Under Heaven utter the words "all," before choosing to believe him.

He casually pulled out a few books from the bookshelves around him; some were about history, some were about documents, and some were about the customs and traditions of the Sun and Moon Empire.

What is on page 132, line 5 of the Imperial Chronicle?

"Reporting to the Dean, it is the Count of Monte Cristo who has rebelled."

Faced with Jing Hongchen's question, the Second Under Heaven readily agreed. Just as he said, he had read it, which meant he had memorized it; it was that simple.

Upon hearing the answer from "Second in the World," Jing Hongchen was clearly somewhat surprised, because "Second in the World" was right.

Then he opened another book, randomly flipped to a page, and continued to ask, "What does it say on page 103, line 5 of the eighth volume of the Life Soul Guidance Device series?"

No sooner had Jing Hongchen finished speaking than the voice of the Second in the World rang out, “The conversion of soul power and flames.”

Jing Hongchen: "...What...is it?"

Second in the world: "Reporting to the Dean, yes..."

……

Fifteen minutes later!

Jing Hongchen put away all the books, then looked at the Second in the World with disbelief. He had already proven with his strength that what he said was true, but Jing Hongchen just couldn't believe that there really was such a genius in the world.

But that's the damn reality!

He admitted that he was jealous; if he had that talent, the title of Soul Guide God of the Sun Moon Empire would have been his long ago.

"Very good, second in the world, you have once again refreshed my understanding of you, and besides, you did choose the wrong name."

"What is your intention, Dean?"

"If you call yourself the second best in the world, then who dares to claim to be the best?"

Hearing Jing Hongchen's teasing, the Second Under Heaven smiled slightly, his smile icy. "Dean, that's the meaning behind my name." Jing Hongchen: "..."

You're really not humble at all!
"Ahem..." Jing Hongchen glanced at the Second Under Heaven and said, "Come with me. Your theory has passed the test. Let me see your understanding of soul tools."

Having said that, Jing Hongchen turned the red ring on his hand. Then, the wall behind his desk instantly opened, and after his identity was verified, several more doors opened. A staircase leading from top to bottom slowly appeared, and Jing Hongchen strode over, with the Second Under Heaven following closely behind.

"This is my private research room. Although I spend most of my time in Mingde Hall, I occasionally come here to research soul tools."

After several identity checks and verifications, the two successfully entered the core area of ​​the research lab. Although Jing Hongchen said it was just an unused research lab, the facilities here were extremely advanced. Judging from the knowledge in the Second Under Heaven's mind, the facilities here were among the best in the entire Sun Moon Empire.

Moreover, some of these special soul-guiding materials and rare metals were completely new to him, clearly special metals only recorded in the Mingde Hall.

As expected of the Master of the Red Dust Hall, he's incredibly wealthy and powerful!

Jing Hongchen walked to his familiar research table, his gaze fixed intently on the second-best in the world. "Some people are just all talk and no action, and I hope you're not one of them. I heard that during the entrance exam, you successfully forged a perfect level four remote monitoring soul tool by imitating Kong Xuan. I don't believe it."

After all, I didn't see it with my own eyes, but everyone can vouch for you, including Lin Jiayi, so I can only be skeptical. Today, I'm giving you a chance to prove yourself.

"How do you prove it?" The Second Under Heaven raised an eyebrow and then asked.

“It’s very simple. I’m going to make a composite level 7 soul tool in a bit. It’s called composite because it has seven identical level 7 core magic arrays.”

"You want to make a level seven explosive sword?" Upon hearing Jing Hongchen's description, the second-best in the world instantly thought of this soul tool, and then he blurted out.

Jing Hongchen raised an eyebrow slightly. "You're quite something, kid. You even know that?"

"The Burst Sword has seven identical burst core arrays. Only when these seven are integrated can it unleash its strongest attack. Generally, soul tools with multiple duplicate core arrays are collectively referred to as composite soul tools."

"I almost forgot, of all the composite soul tools, only the Burst Sword has seven composite magic arrays. No wonder you guessed it. But you were able to react immediately; you truly are a genius."

"I'll give you fifteen minutes to prepare and adjust your mindset. Immediately, I will carve the soul core of this soul tool. I won't deliberately slow you down. You shouldn't have trouble imagining how fast a level nine soul master can forge a level seven soul tool!"

Jing Hongchen has always liked to put on airs. In front of outsiders, he usually refers to himself as "this one," but when talking to the second-best person in the world, he uses "I" mixed with "this one," rather than "this one" mixed with "I." It seems that he values ​​the second-best person in the world very much.

"I will complete the first soul guide core independently. You will be responsible for carving the subsequent soul guide cores. I will handle all other issues that require soul power cultivation. You don't need to have any concerns."

If the two of us can successfully complete this Burst Sword, I will immediately award you the level badge of a Level 7 Soul Master and the privileges of a Level 7 Researcher of Mingde Hall.

At the same time, I appoint you as the sole chief student of the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. All students from the first to the sixth year must follow your lead.

"Are you willing to accept this challenge?"

The second-best in the world was stunned. Was there really a need to choose?
Anyone who hesitates is a fool!

This is like a windfall!

The Second Under Heaven nodded decisively without a second's hesitation. Although refining six level-seven soul guide core arrays at the same time would be extremely strenuous, he didn't need to worry about the consumption of soul power. After all, with Jing Hongchen as a backup, what was there to be afraid of? Just do it.

Moreover, after hearing the conditions proposed by Jing Hongchen, he couldn't help but wonder if Jing Hongchen had gone mad.

Not only did they appoint him, a freshman who had only been enrolled for a month, as the chief disciple of all grades in the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, but they also awarded him a Level 7 Soul Guidance Badge and allowed him to become a Level 7 researcher at Mingde Hall. What kind of concept is this?
It can be said that if he completes this test, he will be able to enter the core area of ​​the entire Sun Moon Empire.

Moreover, he possesses level seven access, meaning he can freely enter and exit most of the basic areas of Mingde Hall.

"Jing Hongchen is playing this big game?"
