Douluo Jueshi: Who made him a soul mentor!

Chapter 73: Who is the strongest genius?

Jing Hongchen looked at Wang Chen as if he was looking at a piece of peerless jade.

Obviously, in the eyes of an old man like Jing Hongchen, being handsome is useless. The most important thing is good talent and strong strength.

Only those with good talent and strong ability can be his good grandson-in-law. As for those with poor talent and weak ability, they are the damn brats who have led my precious granddaughter astray. I wish I could break their legs.

Jing Hongchen thought to himself, "Wang Chen was extremely skilled in carving the fifth-level core magic array and crafting the fifth-level soul guide. He used a variety of advanced techniques and showed great demeanor.

Even if one is limited by cultivation and cannot make and use more advanced soul guides, as long as one's cultivation keeps up in the future, then one will surely rise to the top of the soul guide path with ease.

Very good, very good, really good. I thought my grandson Xiao Hongchen was a genius in the field of soul guidance that was rarely seen in decades, but I didn’t expect that there are always people better than you.

Fortunately, Wang Chen is my grandson-in-law, otherwise, other ninth-level soul masters, the royal family... I'm afraid they will not be able to resist their desire for talent, and then it will not be so easy to win over Wang Chen.

Now Wang Chen and my darling granddaughter Meng Hongchen have been childhood sweethearts and have a deep bond. Even if other ninth-level soul masters are shameless, they would be too embarrassed to compete for her."

Jing Hongchen thought of this, and the corners of his mouth curled up, feeling happy. He thought about how prosperous his Hongchen family would be when his grandson Xiao Hongchen, granddaughter Meng Hongchen, and grandson-in-law Wang Chen grew up.

As for Wang Chen's family being involved in the royal struggle, in Jing Hongchen's view, it was just a little troublesome.

If the second prince supported by the Wang family really fails in the struggle for the throne, he would not mind paying a certain price to help the Wang family overcome the difficulties.

In the past, Jing Hongchen was unwilling to pay such a price, and at most was only willing to save Wang Chen. But now, Wang Chen's talent and strength made Jing Hongchen willing to pay.

As a powerful ninth-level soul mentor, the dean of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, and the head of the Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen holds a very high status in the Sun-Moon Empire.

The most important thing is that the many teachers and students of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy have a close relationship with Jing Hongchen.

Some of these teachers and students were in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, while others had left the academy and entered various industries in the Sun Moon Empire. This made Jing Hongchen's influence in the Sun Moon Empire extremely huge.

If Jing Hongchen wanted to protect the second prince, it would definitely be impossible. The new emperor would not allow a prince who threatened his throne to exist.

But if he wants to preserve a force that supports the second prince, although the new emperor will be somewhat dissatisfied, as long as Jing Hongchen is willing to help the new emperor do something and exchange interests, the new emperor will definitely give Jing Hongchen face.

When the new emperor first ascended the throne, he did not have enough prestige and achievements, and his position on the throne was not yet secure. If he had Jing Hongchen's support, he would definitely be able to secure the throne and gain power more quickly.

This is the art of politics. As long as there is no risk and there are benefits, everything can be discussed and negotiated.

I'm afraid Wang Chen would never have thought that Jing Hongchen would be willing to help the Wang family in the future just because of the small part of his strength he showed.

Unfortunately, Jing Hongchen had greatly underestimated Wang Chen's talent and strength. Now Wang Chen's true strength was already enough to defeat a peak Soul Douluo warrior.

Once this level of talent and strength is exposed, it will inevitably cause shock among the top leaders of the entire Sun-Moon Empire.

At that time, don’t say that Wang Chen is just Jing Hongchen’s granddaughter-in-law. Even if he is a son-in-law, he will be snatched away and won over as needed.

After all, you, Jing Hongchen, are not the only one who has a granddaughter. Other ninth-level soul masters and other powerful people also have daughters and granddaughters.

Even with Wang Chen's talent and strength, there is a great possibility that he will attract the attention of Kong Deming, the pillar of the Sun-Moon Empire who is currently in seclusion researching humanoid soul guides.

In front of Kong Deming, Jing Hongchen is just a child.

Of course, whether the attention of a strong man of Kong Deming's level is good or bad, admiration or fear, is unknown.

Therefore, Wang Chen did not intend to reveal his strength and talent too early. Even if he did, he was only willing to reveal part of it.

Only when he possesses the combat power of a Titled Douluo and has enough power to protect himself, will Wang Chen reveal his true talent and strength.

Wang Chen is a cautious person and has always been unwilling to entrust his life to others.

However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being cautious and careful, and only those who take every step carefully and think carefully are most likely to become the final winner.

Just when Jing Hongchen admired Wang Chen very much and planned to meet Wang Chen later.

Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen walked towards the Mingde Hall examination hall from a distance.

Xiao Hongchen said, "Sister, if you want to come, just come. Why are you dragging me along? I have no interest in Wang Chen. Besides, it's class time now, you're skipping class."

Xiao Hongchen looked reluctant. He couldn't say he liked Wang Chen, nor did he hate him, but his sister had always been lawless, so it would be nice to have someone to keep her in check.

Therefore, Xiao Hongchen still supports Wang Chen's relationship with his sister Meng Hongchen.

However, the only thing that made Xiao Hongchen unhappy was that Wang Chen was actually more handsome than him. When they stood together, the beauties always looked at Wang Chen and ignored him.

Where would his face be? Therefore, Xiao Hongchen never liked to play with Wang Chen. Meng Hongchen smiled and said, "Brother, aren't you curious whether Brother Wang Chen can pass the Mingde Hall assessment?"

Xiao Hongchen snorted, "What's there to be curious about? How difficult is it to pass the Mingde Hall's assessment? I'm not far from becoming a Soul King now, and I can already make some relatively easy level five soul guides."

In another year, I will be able to break through to the Soul King realm. By then, I may be able to make a sixth-level soul guide device. Wouldn't the Mingde Hall assessment be a piece of cake?
I think you just want to drag me into skipping classes with you, so that when grandpa punishes you, I can be your shield."

Meng Hongchen chuckled when she heard her brother saw through her intentions. Then she said, "Brother, we are siblings. We share happiness and hardships together."

Xiao Hongchen rolled his eyes when he heard this. He secretly complained in his heart, "What do you mean by 'sharing happiness and hardships together'? It's obvious that you share the happiness and I bear the hardships."

However, Xiao Hongchen said that he was not curious at all, but in his heart he still wanted to know whether Wang Chen had passed the assessment of Mingde Hall.

Although Xiao Hongchen did not take Mingdetang's assessment seriously, as the grandson of Mingdetang's master Jing Hongchen, he knew very well the difficulty of Mingdetang's assessment.

At least for now, he wasn't sure he could pass the Mingde Hall's assessment. Because his cultivation wasn't high enough, and his mental strength wasn't strong enough, his success rate wasn't very high when carving a level five core magic array or crafting a level five soul guide.

Only when his cultivation reaches a higher level and he reaches the Soul King level, will he be confident of passing the Mingde Hall's assessment.

If Wang Chen could really pass the Mingde Hall assessment...

This means that Wang Chen is already a fifth-level soul engineer, and his soul engineer talent is not inferior to him.

Xiao Hongchen, who has always claimed to be the greatest genius of the contemporary Sun-Moon Empire and looks down upon his peers, couldn't help but show a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes.

Unlike Wang Chen, who has been mature in his two lives, has a very long-term vision, and even has his eyes on the high-level powerful people of the Sun and Moon Empire, Xiao Hongchen is a real young man.

The unique spirit, or pride, of young people makes Xiao Hongchen like a handsome young man with excess energy. When he meets a capable peer, he subconsciously wants to compete with him and decide the winner.

Let’s see who is the most powerful genius of the Sun-Moon Empire today!
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were talking as they walked. Neither of them had been admitted to Mingde Hall yet, so logically speaking, they were not allowed to enter here.

However, as the grandson and granddaughter of Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, they have been playing around in Mingde Hall since they were young. They are very familiar with Mingde Hall, and no fool would stop them.

Jing Hongchen, who was admiring Wang Chen at this time, couldn't help but frown when he heard the voices of his grandchildren who were supposed to be attending classes at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Instead of attending classes properly, they came here to watch the Mingde Hall assessment... I must make them make up double the time for the classes they skipped.

At this time, Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen did not know that their grandfather was also here watching Wang Chen's assessment, and they were still laughing there.

Then tragedy struck...

Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen bumped into their grandfather.

“Grandpa!!” Xiao Hongchen exclaimed with his eyes wide open.

"Grandpa, why are you here?" Meng Hongchen asked in surprise and confusion.

Jing Hongchen snorted, "Why can't I be here? Aren't you two supposed to be in class? Why are you here?"

Xiao Hongchen immediately said, "Grandpa, it was my sister who dragged me here. It has nothing to do with me. I'll go back to class now."

After saying that, Xiao Hongchen turned around and left.

On weekdays, Jing Hongchen is very strict with the cultivation and study of Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen. Everything else is easy to deal with, but if they don’t practice and study seriously, they will definitely be criticized.

If not, even if Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen had the support of the best resources, it would be impossible for them to achieve such cultivation at such a young age.

When Meng Hongchen heard that his brother had actually sold him out, he angrily pointed at Xiao Hongchen's back and said, "Brother, you've changed. Didn't we agree to share the hard times?"

Xiao Hongchen's mouth twitched and he ran faster.

But Xiao Hongchen hadn't run two steps before he was pulled back by Jing Hongchen.

Jing Hongchen said unhappily, "Why are you running? Now that you're here, why not go get to know Wang Chen and have a chat with him? You're so irritable all day long. Learn to be more steady from Wang Chen."

As for the missed classes, I will find a teacher for you two tonight and double the tuition."

After saying that, Jing Hongchen turned around and left, obviously not intending to meet Wang Chen with Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen.

As a ninth-level soul engineer, he is a big shot, especially since he is Meng Hongchen's grandfather.

Even if he planned to meet Wang Chen, it had to be Wang Chen who came to visit him, not him who went to see Wang Chen. This was the reserve unique to the big boss.
