Douluo 2: Transmigrated as an Evil Soul Master, Enemies of the World

Chapter 54 Tickets to the Sea God's Pavilion

Upon seeing Elder Mu's avatar, Jing Hongchen suddenly realized that Elder Mu's earlier statement that he could harm him without triggering his level-nine soul tool was not just empty talk.

With a wave of his right hand, Elder Mu caused the protective shield surrounding Ma Xiaotao to open up into a fierce tiger shape, large enough for one person to enter.

Jing Hongchen took a deep breath to calm his shock, took two steps forward, and used his hand to test the black flames emanating from Ma Xiaotao's body.

Then he pressed down on Ma Xiaotao's wrist to check her physical condition.

Then, Jing Hongchen withdrew.

"This junior is powerless to help. This is a backlash from a different kind of fire. There must be a strange power within her martial soul that has been affecting her all along."

Under the influence of the Sword of Judgment, she failed to suppress it in time, and the strange fire filled with dark and violent aura took the initiative within her body.

This is already close to the power of the ultimate fire.

Forcibly suppressing or resolving this could very likely cause her body to break down.

Unless a gentle force can be found to neutralize the strange fire within her, she might be disoriented upon waking.

Old Master Mu nodded and spoke calmly;
Let's talk on the second floor!

After he finished speaking, the golden light around him vanished quietly, the light shield returned to normal, and Elder Mu's golden body disappeared into thin air in a flash.

Returning to the second floor, Elder Mu was already lying there, no different from before, and no powerful aura was released.

He lay there quietly, like an ordinary old man in his twilight years, yet he exerted immense pressure on Jing Hongchen.

Only after meeting Elder Mu did he understand why the Body Sect had left so readily.

“You can’t take the Sword of Judgment with you. You can tell me what you’ve come for this time. Also, if there’s a next time you use a soul tool on Shrek City outside Shrek Academy, then I’ll visit the capital of your Sun Moon Empire again.”

Upon arriving on the second floor, Elder Mu got straight to the point.

Upon hearing Elder Mu's words, Jing Hongchen's expression changed drastically. He dared to enter Shrek Academy not only because of the several triggerable level nine soul tools he possessed, but also because of the arrangements he had made outside.

I never expected that Elder Mu would know all this; it's truly terrifying.

"Mr. Mu, you are truly admirable."

Bowing slightly, Jing Hongchen suppressed the shock in her heart:
"The reason I've come this time is to continue inviting Shrek Academy to exchange ideas with my Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, so as to promote mutual understanding and learning between the two institutions."

Shrek Academy had promised to do so before, but for some reason the exchange was put on hold.

"How about this, we'll have an exchange in two years, and the exchange and learning will be held every three years."

That will be the start date of the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament. We would be honored to have your faculty attend the event. After the competition, we will pick up your students and also send our students back home.

How can the safety of trainees be guaranteed?

Old Master Mu's words were simple and direct.

"I am willing to come to Shrek Academy as a hostage before the start of the competition, and remain there until the competition ends and your students return to their positions."

The students' mishaps during the competition have nothing to do with Mingdetang.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Old Master Mu agreed, but both of them had their own thoughts.

Shrek Academy has always wanted to learn about the soul tools of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy also wanted to learn about soul power cultivation from Shrek Academy.

Arranging for students to interact and exchange learning experiences is undoubtedly a very good method.

Old Master Mu smiled slightly and said:

"The matter is settled, you can leave now!"

Jing Hongchen stood up, bowed slightly, then waved to Ye Chen before leaving the Sea God Pavilion.

"Wait a moment!"

But just then, Old Master Mu called out to him.

"Is there anything else you would like to instruct me on, senior?"

Jing Hongchen's heart skipped a beat, realizing something was wrong. Knowing Shrek Academy's nature, they were probably going to leave something behind.

"You are the first outsider to enter the Sea God Pavilion in many years. This is not a place where anyone can come and go as they please."

"Either leave behind a level nine soul tool and explain its usage; or leave this kid here, resolve Ma Xiaotao's problem, and let him return safely—consider it your ticket to the Sea God Pavilion."

"Tickets?"

Jing Hongchen stared at Elder Mu in disbelief. This was clearly blatant extortion. A level nine soul tool was extremely expensive.

Ye Chen, he couldn't let him stay here either.

"Senior, you are bullying the weak!"

Jing Hongchen smiled bitterly, determined to try again.

But then, he was horrified to discover that the walls, floors, and roofs around him were all emitting a faint golden light.

It felt as if an invisible hand had gripped his throat.

"If you're unwilling to pay, that's fine too. Both of you can stay and discuss the Dao with me. You can go back two years later when our students exchange ideas!"

Upon hearing Elder Mu's words, Jing Hongchen's face immediately stiffened.

How can this be?

Mingde Hall needs him to go back and take charge.

"In that case, I will do as you command, senior!"

Taking a deep breath, Jing Hongchen took out a round metal block from his chest.

It appears as thin as paper, and its entire body exudes a soft metallic sheen.

The openwork patterns on it are fine and regular, full of creativity and imagination.

There was no soul power fluctuation emanating from it, yet it possessed a unique texture as solid and imposing as a mountain.

A faint golden halo shimmered within.

Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat. What was bound to happen had happened. He should have warned Jing Hongchen sooner!

It seems that the eight soul tools outside have already been taken by Qian Duoduo and his group!
However, without setting up eight soul tools, Jing Hongchen wouldn't dare enter Shrek Academy!
Hopefully, this despicable and shameless academy will thoroughly enrage Jing Hongchen through this incident!
From now on, we'll flatten Shrek!

Jing Hongchen said:
"This soul tool was made by myself. It's called 'Red Dust Protection,' and it is..."

"Hall Master!"

Just as Jing Hongchen was about to explain how to use this level-nine soul tool, Ye Chen interrupted him.

Ye Chen is Jing Hongchen's personal disciple, but his identity is very sensitive. Naturally, the master-disciple relationship between the two cannot be exposed at Shrek Academy.

Otherwise, the other party might use Ye Chen to threaten Jing Hongchen.

"what happened?"

Jing Hongchen looked at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression, and Elder Mu, Huo Yuhao, and the others also looked over.

"Master, why don't I stay? I might be able to learn a lot here!"

Ye Chen said that he had already learned a wealth of knowledge about soul tools at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Since Elder Mu requested it, he would stay. Perhaps it would allow his soul power cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.

A level nine soul tool is extremely precious.

"Ye Chen, I'm afraid this won't work, you..."

"Master, that's enough, I'll be fine!"

Before Jing Hongchen could say anything more, Ye Chen insisted once again.

"Alright!"

Jing Hongchen gave him a deep look and had no choice but to agree.

Then, Jing Hongchen placed the level-nine soul tool in her hand on Ye Chen's chest.

"Release your soul power!"

Jing Hongchen said to Ye Chen in a deep voice, and Ye Chen did as he was told, quickly releasing his soul power.

Just then, something unusual happened. The thin, paper-thin level nine soul tool absorbed Ye Chen's soul power and merged with him.

Then, Jing Hongchen transmitted his voice and said:

"When attacked, it will sense it in advance and take defensive action. It can be turned on and off by thought, and it is not limited by cultivation level. Even a one-ring Soul Master can use it."

The defensive effect is equivalent to your strongest attack without activating any soul skills, when you gather all your soul power.

Your defensive capabilities will increase as your soul power level increases.
