Douluo: Peerless Light..

Chapter 209 Is This Surely Not Blackmail?
"This is the backlash of the strange fire. If I'm not mistaken, this girl's martial soul originally relied on some kind of strange attribute energy." Jing Hongchen said with regret, "Unless we can find some power to neutralize the strange fire in her body, otherwise, even if she wakes up, she will probably be controlled by this strange fire and lose her mind. Unfortunately, my soul power cannot neutralize this strange fire."

"Since you can't do anything, then there is no reason for you to ask us for anything." Moon said calmly, "The All-Continental Soul Master Competition is an exchange soul fighting competition. Injuries during the competition are inevitable. We won't care too much about it."

"Let's go to the second floor and talk."

As soon as he finished speaking, his incarnation suddenly became illusory and disappeared on the spot.

Jing Hongchen's heart trembled. He had never heard of such a magical clone ability. Originally, he thought that with the help of soul guides, Mingde Hall already had the strength to compete with Shrek Academy. But now, it seems that there is still a big gap in high-end combat power.

As expected, it is an entity that has cultivated seven gods and existed for ten thousand years!
When they arrived at the second floor, the two sides communicated again. Old Mu first asked Jing Hongchen which one he thought was better, Mingde Hall or Poseidon Pavilion, and then stated that he had visited Mingde Hall. After that, he stated that he already knew that Jing Hongchen had placed soul guides outside the academy.

Jing Hongchen was sweating profusely after hearing this, and was shocked. The fact that he could visit Mingde Hall quietly showed that this person was extremely powerful. If he wanted to do something else, he couldn't even imagine the consequences. For the first time, he felt fear in front of an outsider.

He pretended to be calm and said politely, "Senior, I am the one who is rude."

After that, he changed the subject, "Senior, I have another reason for coming here. The performance of the contestants from your academy in this Soul Master Competition was truly amazing."

"I have long admired your teaching methods. I wonder if we can share some ideas?"

Not only the cultivation of his martial soul, but also the progress in soul guides made him feel the crisis.

Minghui was so young, but he could drive 81 soul guide cannons at the same time. He was very curious about how this kid did it. In addition, Minghui could give his grandson such a suggestion, which meant that this kid had already started research in this area, and it was even an important topic for Shrek Academy. So what stage has it reached now? Are there any special techniques involved?
Whenever he thought of this, he felt itchy and eager to find out the truth.

The reason why I waited until now was that I didn't want to appear too eager and give Shrek Academy a reason to ask for a high price.

Secondly, he wanted to find out the combat power of Shrek Academy, especially whether Xuan Zi, the most powerful fighter in the academy, was there. Xuan Zi had a bad temper when he was young, and he was really afraid that he would start fighting as soon as they met, which would cause a big fight, and he would be in danger. This was also the reason why soul guides were placed outside the academy. It was better to be safe than sorry.

"How do you want to communicate?" Moon said lightly.

"Exchange students and learn from each other." Jing Hongchen said amiably, "Our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and your academy are both top-tier institutions on the continent. We each have our own strengths. I think exchanges are necessary, and we can complement each other's shortcomings and promote development."

"Exchange and learning are fine, but how can you ensure the safety of my students?" Moon said indifferently.

"Besides, what can our students learn by going to your institute?"

After a lot of arguing, Jing Hongchen finally agreed to send his grandchildren as exchange students in a year, with the exchange period lasting three years. Moreover, before the competition began, he would personally come to Shrek Academy as a hostage until the students returned.

Moon promised that the exchange students would be admitted to the inner courtyard to study and enjoy the same treatment, and that Huo Yuhao and He Caitou, the two best students in the Soul Guidance Department, would be designated as exchange students. As for Minghui, he was not a Soul Guidance student, but just a part-time student.

Jing Hongchen was very shocked that he could use the soul guide device so well even though he was practicing both.

Although it was a pity, he thought that his grandchildren would come to the inner courtyard to exchange and study, and they would definitely be able to see Minghui at that time. It would be a good thing to see how this child practiced on a daily basis. In addition, Huo Yuhao's talent in soul guide research was indeed good, and he had twin martial souls. The other one was with Cai Tou, and they were definitely elites in their academy.

The exchange chips were equal, so I agreed without hesitation.

Then, after saying goodbye and about to get up and leave, Moon suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

"Senior, do you have any further advice?" Jing Hongchen asked puzzledly.

"You are the first outsider to enter Poseidon Pavilion in all these years." Moon said with a smile.

"The Sea God Pavilion is the most secret place in our academy. You can come and go as you please. Leave a ninth-level soul guide device and explain its usage."

"Just consider it as your ticket to come here today."

"Door, tickets!?" Jing Hongchen was shocked. Is this sure not blackmail?
But because it was on the territory of Shrek Academy, he had no choice but to suffer the loss in secret and honestly hand over a ninth-level soul guide device.

The protection of the mortal world, a trigger-type defensive soul guide, can also be opened and closed by the mind, and there is no limit on the use of cultivation. The defensive effect is equivalent to the strongest attack of the whole body's soul power without using soul skills, but the consumption is only one-fifth. In addition, it can also generate an invincible shield that lasts for 15 seconds by activating the magic circle, and the defense power reaches three times the own cultivation.

So powerful? Yan Shaozhe took a breath of cold air.

Vision Hongchen put down the soul guide and left, then he spoke with a wry smile.

"Teacher, I finally understood today the huge gap between the academy and Mingde Hall in the development of soul guides."

"It's not too late to understand now." said Mr. Mu.

On the other side, Jing Hongchen, who had flown out of the academy, found that the four ninth-level soul guides and four eighth-level soul guides that he had placed around Shrek Academy had been taken away, and he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood on the spot. He knew that it was Shrek Academy that took them away, but he didn't dare to go back to ask for them.

He could only look back at Shrek Academy with resentment, then turn around and fly away.

After a while, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo ran back to Poseidon Pavilion excitedly to report the good news to Mu En, "Mr. Mu, we succeeded."

Moon En also handed over the Red Dust Blessing, "Take this soul guide back for research, and be careful not to damage it, I'll need it later. Including the other eight soul guides, try not to damage them if possible. This time we can have such a harvest, all thanks to Xiaohui's planning, the academy naturally can't treat him unfairly, and treat the Body Sect unfairly. When the research is almost done, give me two each."

"The Body Sect is located at the border between the Sky Soul Empire and the Sun Moon Empire. Unlike us, it is not deep in the hinterland and needs more protection."

"Okay." Xian Lin'er nodded.

After saying that, several people went to the third floor to wake up Ma Xiaotao.

"Xiao Tao, do you feel unwell?" Yan Shaozhe asked.

"Not a big one," said Ma Xiaotao, "but when that guy touched my wrist, it suddenly felt painful."

"Come, let me see." Moon said immediately.

Ma Xiaotao walked over quickly and stretched out her hand.

Moon raised his hand and pressed lightly, using his mental power to feel it carefully, and then sighed, "I didn't expect that Mingde Hall's soul guide technology has developed to this level. It is a miniature soul guide that can actively absorb Xiaotao's soul power to maintain operation, and the required amount is very small. If you don't feel it carefully, it is extremely difficult to find. However, it is so small, the function should be very simple, and it is most likely for positioning."

"It seems that they are really colluding with the evil soul master to attack Xiaotao." Xian Lin'er said coldly.

"What are you afraid of!" Yan Shaozhe snorted coldly, "If they dare to come, we will make sure they never return."

Moon nodded slightly and said, "Xiao Tao can't stay here forever, take it out and put it here."

So he took out the soul guide carefully by himself, and then extracted some of Xiaotao's soul power and sealed it in the light shield.

At the same time, in the Xingdou Great Forest, Minghui and others walked into the outer area and explored deeper.

Because of Minghui's spiritual detection skills, all the unsuitable soul beasts along the way were avoided, including the flame lion and tiger demon cat encountered in the original work.

Afterwards, the two thousand year old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear from the original novel was found not far away.

Minghui pretended to be surprised, "Xiaoxiao, you are lucky, there is a two thousand year old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear ahead."

"It's actually a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!" Wang Dong was also surprised. "This is a top-level power-type soul beast with super high defense."

"Xiao Xiao, no matter what abilities your martial soul inherits, it will definitely be a huge profit!"

"That's true." Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

Xiao Xiao was a little excited, her face flushed, but she was still hesitant, "But this Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear has been cultivating for 2000 years. I heard that a thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear is enough to fight other power-type soul beasts that are ten thousand years old. It's very powerful."

"What are you afraid of when I'm here!" Minghui said calmly, "Come on, I'll help you fix it."

"Thank you, Senior Minghui." Xiao Xiao said politely.

"No big deal!" Minghui said, striding ahead to lead the team, and soon they came not far from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

"Soul shock!" With a glare, he made the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear fall to the ground.

Xiao Xiao immediately turned into a little fan girl and exclaimed, "How amazing!"

Minghui straightened his chest and nodded slightly, "Go ahead."

The intelligence of the thousand-year-old soul beast is too low, and it is a bit difficult to transform its soul. At least he has no way to do it now, so he can only kill it directly.

"Yeah." Xiao Xiao nodded repeatedly, took out a dagger from his soul guide, ran over quickly, and stabbed at his eyes. The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear felt the pain, and just as it regained some consciousness, it was immediately hit by another soul attack from Minghui.

In the end, he died with hatred in his heart, and died peacefully.

If it didn't have to be killed by the person who needed to absorb the spirit ring, he could kill it with one blow.

When Xiao Xiao was sitting down to absorb the spirit ring, Xuan Zi suddenly jumped out and said in surprise:
“It looks like there’s still stock.”

He used his palm as a knife and dissected the right bear paw, and actually pulled out a metacarpal bone.

“Soul bone?” Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao were both surprised.

"It's still an external soul bone." Minghui said, "This is quite good luck!"

"It's really good." Xuan Zi sighed, and then explained to everyone the power of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

"The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear race is indeed powerful, but unfortunately, this soul bone only has a lifespan of 2,000 years, so it will take a long time to mature." Bingdi said calmly, "Xiaohui, you are the one who carries our hope of becoming a god, and this soul bone is not worthy of you."

Xue Di said at this time, "Xiao Hui, the Ice Bear King I adopted earlier took the initiative to request to become your soul. Among the same level, the strength of its metacarpal bones is not much inferior to that of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. When the time comes, I can let it provide you with two metacarpal bones."

"You have twin martial souls, and there are still many empty soul rings. There are plenty of opportunities to fill the soul bones in other parts of your body. There is no rush." ​​Bingdi said, "The most important thing is that the properties of this metacarpal bone are very different from ours, and we can't help improve it. If you want to evolve it to the 100,000-year level and keep up with your cultivation progress, we don't know how long it will take. It's really useless for you."

Minghui immediately gave up the idea of ​​taking over after Xiaoxiao failed to absorb it. The 56-year-old external soul bone was indeed a little too much of an improvement for him now. He was already a level soul king, with combat power comparable to that of a soul saint. His starting point was a bit high, and this external soul bone was indeed unable to keep up with his pace. His own bone strength was higher than this external soul bone.

The high-end whiteboard hanging on his body is really not in line with his status.

On the contrary, the Ice Bear King's ferocious beast-level metacarpal bones are very suitable for his style.

"That makes sense." He responded seriously, and then said, "Since it was dropped by the same soul beast, let's leave it to Xiaoxiao."

"Xiao Xiao's martial spirit is developing in a supporting direction, so it's also good to have more close-range life-saving methods."

Wang Dong immediately looked at Minghui. It was Minghui who defeated the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear. Logically, he could ask for this external soul bone. However, this was an external soul bone, and it came from the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, a creature that could evolve. Yet Minghui didn't want it.

Xuan Zi was also a little surprised, and then he sighed, "You are really generous, kid!"

Don't worship me, I'm just a legend Ming Hui thought to himself, his face calm and he said lightly, "It's just a thousand-year soul bone, it's not even worth my attention."

Everyone started to lay the carpet, and then asked Huo Yuhao to roast bear paws to improve the food.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Xiao Xiao just woke up and immediately ate grilled bear meat with everyone else.

After hearing that Minghui was willing to give her the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's external soul bone, she was extremely moved. With watery eyes, she looked up at Minghui and said solemnly:
"Senior Minghui, if you didn't already have three senior sisters, I would really like to marry you."

Minghui glanced at the apron and shook his head, "I'm not a lolita complex, so forget it! Why don't you consider my junior brother? He's still single now."

“No!” Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong spoke almost at the same time.

Xiao Xiao's watery eyes widened even more, "Why do you two have exactly the same reaction? Are you having an affair?!"

"I think so too." Minghui said with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong quickly refuted and argued for a while. Finally, Xuan Zi spoke up and asked Xiao Xiao to absorb the soul ring quickly.

Then, because the energy was absorbed too violently, it failed and was attacked by the spirit bone. At the critical moment, Minghui let Huo Yuhao take over, saying that Huo Yuhao's second martial soul was the beast martial soul wolf, and his fighting style often relied on claw attacks, which just fits this dark gold terror claw bear metacarpal bone.

Huo Yuhao was very touched that his senior brother actually gave him such a precious external soul bone.

"This guy is really nice to Yuhao." Wang Dong also sighed.

After a while, with Xuan Zi's help, Huo Yuhao began to take over, sweating profusely from the pain. Ming Hui then intervened and delivered the light of life to Huo Yuhao, so Huo Yuhao absorbed it safely. Xiao Xiao was frightened and secretly felt lucky. Huo Yuhao's physical strength was much stronger than hers. He was absorbing it so dangerously, and if she insisted on continuing, she would definitely be in danger of death.

Huo Yuhao fainted immediately after waking up. The others had to rest for a day before continuing their journey.

Since spiritual soul beasts are so rare, it took ten days to find them.
