Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 154: Four Soul Bones in Exchange for the Dean, Adding Another Glory to the Death Messenger's Brilliant Resume

"Hahahaha, Your Majesty Xingluo, there's no need to be nervous. This hall master is only here to ensure the safety of our students. However, I didn't expect that this world-renowned number one academy would be such a cruel and shameless bunch!"

Jing Hongchen laughed loudly, cursing Shrek's abominable behavior. Then he opened his arms and shouted, "The people of the four countries are watching with millions of eyes. Everyone in the world can see it clearly!"

"It was Shrek's students who started the killing spree, murdering three outstanding students from the Sun Moon Empire's Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy. The teachers and students of Mingdu Academy went forward to seek justice but were denied justice. Instead, they were bullied by the Shrek dean, who relied on his Titled Douluo cultivation!"

"Today, out of fraternal love and for the safety of all participating academy students, this hall master has no choice but to take down this rebellious and shameless individual and seek justice! Apart from this, I have no other intentions."

While speaking passionately, Jing Hongchen used the sound transmission soul guide to contact Xu Tianxi remotely: "Tianxi, I have used all the manuscripts you gave me in advance. Hurry and think of something else that is suitable."

Xu Tianxi touched the sound transmission soul guide in his ear, feeling ashamed while his brain worked rapidly, and said:
"You must remember not to limit yourself to the affairs of our Sun Moon Empire. You must expand Shrek's actions to threaten everyone present and sever the relationship between Shrek and the three empires."

"Also, using Dean Cai as a bargaining chip, we can severely blackmail Shrek, and then use some of the benefits gained from the blackmail to do good to the original three countries, such as sponsoring the competition rewards..."

Jing Hongchen's eyes flashed with brilliance: "Okay, okay, I know what to say. Hehe, let Shrek bleed today..."

On the Sun and Moon team side, the two foxes, one old and one young, made plans. On the Star Luo Empire side, Xu Jiawei, in order to maintain the situation, had to negotiate after a brief pause:
"In that case, I wonder what kind of justice Mingde Hall wants?"

"When someone dies on the field, a pension must be paid. This is only natural. According to the rules, this pension should be paid by Your Majesty, but how can I be so unreasonable? Shrek committed intentional murder, so this pension should be paid by Shrek!"

Jing Hongchen seemed to be very considerate of Xu Jiawei. He put one hand on Cai Meir's neck and said calmly and naturally:

"They, Shrek, killed three people, so they must produce three top-tier Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones. This hall master saw it clearly. They didn't follow the rules even during the elimination rounds. They still used ruthless force even after their opponents had already conceded defeat. They simply don't take Your Majesty seriously!"

"So, we have to add another soul bone to this account! This soul bone is not wanted by this hall master. I will give it to the colleges participating in this competition. It will be considered as the prize sponsored by this hall master for the runner-up of this competition."

Xu Jiawei's face twitched and he thought to himself, you are so skilled at this, you must have done this a lot before, right?

In the Xingluo Royal Academy team, the face of a princess who did not want to reveal her name inexplicably darkened, but then she became as bright as a flower in bloom.

It is certainly painful to think about your own dark history, but it only makes you happy to think that others have suffered the same or even worse fate as you.

Shrek, oh Shrek, you have come to this day!

After Jing Hongchen finished speaking, Xu Jiawei had not yet figured out how to refuse when a commotion broke out in Shrek Academy below.

When Ma Xiaotao heard that they would make Shrek pay four precious soul bones if they killed a few people, she was furious and immediately pointed at Jing Hongchen and started cursing. It was too late for Zhang Lexuan to stop her.

"You shameless old thing, you old bandit, what qualifications do you have to covet our Shrek soul bones!"

"Huh?" Jing Hongchen looked at Ma Xiaotao in surprise, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

This crazy woman taught by Shrek is such a fool. One of her words is worth ten of his.

"You killed someone and you're still so confident. It seems that in the eyes of you Shrek people, human life is really worthless."

Jing Hongchen laughed angrily and enveloped his voice with soul power, creating the momentum of broadcasting a message to the entire Xingluo City:
"The students from every academy here are top-tier elites from Douluo Continent. You've unleashed a bloody massacre without compensation. Do you think everyone is inferior to you and unworthy of your Shrek soul bones? Or do you think you're superior to the Four Great Empires and no longer consider anyone other than Shrek as human?"

Jing Hongchen's roar spread throughout Xingluo City. He deliberately controlled his momentum and pressed it all towards Ma Xiaotao.

Zhang Lexuan hurriedly stood in front of Ma Xiaotao to help her resist, but she was also shocked and retreated repeatedly, her pretty face turned pale.

Although Jing Hongchen's cultivation was only at level ninety-three, he was equipped with a set of sophisticated soul guides, and the aura he exuded was comparable to that of a top-tier Super Douluo.

Zhang Lexuan could still barely resist, but Ma Xiaotao had been oppressed to the point of feeling dizzy and unable to speak for a while. She could only stare at Jing Hongchen with her pink eyes filled with anger.

Jing Hongchen didn't care about this and looked directly at the leader Zhang Lexuan and said:
"Stop talking nonsense. Whether you are blackmailing me or seeking justice, your Shrek dean is now in my hands. If you want her to return intact, you can exchange her for four soul bones."

"Hand over the soul bones within three days, with both money and people. If you don't see the soul bones, or if you Shrek use some shady means to get the soul bones, don't blame me for destroying your titled Douluo! You can bet on whether I dare to do it!"

If Ma Xiaotao could still speak, she would definitely yell "You dare", but at this moment she was not only oppressed by Jing Hongchen's aura, but also pressed down by Zhang Lexuan.

After all, Zhang Lexuan was much more sober than Ma Xiaotao, and she made a decision after taking a few deep breaths. Now that the Xingluo Emperor remained silent, it was obvious that he did not want to help, so Shrek could only rely on himself to save people.

"Okay, on behalf of Shrek, I agree. Within three days, I will deliver all four top-tier, ten-thousand-year soul bones. However, during this period, you must ensure Dean Cai's absolute safety. If anything happens to her, Shrek will never..."

"Let's not talk about those meaningless threats. This hall master is a respectable man. The most he can do is seal her soul power within three days. He won't do anything to her."

Jing Hongchen waved his hand to interrupt Zhang Lexuan, then looked at Xu Jiawei and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty Xingluo, I have already settled the matter with Shrek. Now let's discuss the refereeing of this competition."

"It's not that I look down on your country's referees. The top students in this competition all have the strength of Soul Emperors, and referees with Soul Sage cultivation are inevitably unable to cope with the situation. I think it would be best for your country to send someone with stronger strength to serve as referee.

This will not only ensure the safety of the competition, but also demonstrate your country's strength."

Xu Jiawei's expression brightened slightly upon hearing this, and he nodded in agreement, "I think what Hongchen Hall Master said is correct. In that case, the next match will be judged by Senior Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu. How do you think that is?"

Xu Jiawei waved his sleeve towards the Protector of the Nation Douluo to the east of Jing Hongchen, a proud smile on his face. Tiansha Douluo's martial spirit was powerful, and although his spirit power was only at level ninety-one or ninety-two, his strength was close to, or even comparable to, that of a Super Douluo.

Hearing this, Jing Hongchen was still pondering when Xu Tianxi's expression changed. He immediately used the intercom to send a message to Jing Hongchen:

"A star of destiny cannot be a judge! I suggest that you recommend the Star-Breaking Douluo, who has the highest cultivation among the four. This person's martial soul has the power of space, making him suitable for saving the situation."

In the original novel, Tiansha Douluo served as the referee for the finals, and three people from the Sun-Moon Empire died in a row. The key point is that it seemed that he did not do it on purpose!

This is even more frightening, indicating that his attitude is fine, but his ability is a big problem.

Of course, it could also be that his martial spirit of "The Lone Star" took effect and affected Riyue; in any case, it was impossible to let this guy serve as a referee again.

Jing Hongchen received the message and responded immediately:

"Your Majesty, Tiansha Douluo is used to working alone, and his spirit... right? I'm afraid it may not be suitable for this kind of situation. I think we can let the most advanced Shattered Star Douluo come forward to act as the referee."

Xu Jiawei's mouth twitched. I didn't expect that you also knew the rumors about the unlucky star.

The expression of a certain Tiansha Douluo froze for a moment, but he was unable to defend himself, as his record of losing all his relatives and friends was too glorious.

"Okay, since the Red Dust Hall Master has recommended it, then it will be up to the Broken Star Priest to do the hard work next."

Jing Hongchen's words made some sense, and Xu Jiawei had no reason to refuse. He called out to Shattered Star Douluo, who nodded in response.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have long heard that Your Majesty Xingluo is wise and decisive. Seeing you today, I can see that your reputation is well-deserved."

Jing Hongchen asked for a favor and didn't mind carrying Xu Jiawei's sedan chair. He laughed and fell back to the ground, appearing in front of the Sun and Moon Team.

He knew that from now on, he had to guard this place at all times. Shrek's bottom line was too low, so he didn't dare to think about leaving.

The teachers and students of Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy hurried over and expressed their gratitude to Jing Hongchen profusely, saying that Hall Master Hongchen was indeed a highly respected master of the Sun and Moon Empire, and that they would never forget this kindness and gratitude.

Affected by this, the rest of the Sun-Moon Empire Academy students who were still in the rest area also came to pay a visit to Jing Hongchen, the Sun-Moon Empire's number one ninth-level soul instructor. For a while, there was a huge crowd of people, as if they were all on a pilgrimage.

They had never realized it before, but today, after seeing the tragic scene of Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy being oppressed, they realized how important it was to have a strong man from their own country come forward to support them.

Who can guarantee that they won't encounter such a thing? Looking at the Sun and Moon Empire, besides this Mingde Hall Master, who else can overwhelm Shrek and have an equal dialogue with the Xingluo Emperor?

Thigh, this is definitely a very thick thigh!

Jing Hongchen laughed heartily, waving his hands modestly while not forgetting to introduce Xu Tianxi and Xiao Hongchen to everyone:
"Don't take all the credit on me. If it weren't for this student and grandson of our school sending out a distress signal, I might still be worried."

The people from various colleges understood and hurriedly found Xu Tianxi and Xiao Hongchen again. All kinds of compliments that the two were tired of hearing came out from the mouths of the teachers in charge of the colleges, and their faces were a little stiff when they smiled for a while.

Especially Xu Tianxi, who set off the fireworks, was called "Mr. Kong" and "Brother Kong" by a group of college captains who were a few years older than him very enthusiastically.

While responding to everyone, Xu Tianxi thought to himself, "Luckily I changed my last name. If I had used the surname Xu, Xu Tianran and those princes would have rushed from Sun and Moon to Xingluo City overnight, plotting how to kill me."

But even if his surname was not Xu, if today's incident were to spread, Xu Tianran and those princes would not be able to trust him. Perhaps they would come looking for him as soon as he returned to the academy.

He has nothing to fear if someone comes to him openly, but he will be a headache if someone does it in secret. I hope he doesn't come to mess with me for no reason, otherwise don't blame me for changing the palace gate to Xuanwu Gate.

Counting the generations, those princes seemed to be his cousins.

……

The night when the round-robin tournament ended.

The Sun and Moon Team once again received an invitation from the Starlight Auction House:

"To meet the long-term development needs of various colleges, sects, and chambers of commerce, our bank has carefully prepared a batch of top-tier auction items. We sincerely invite His Majesty Jing Hongchen to lead a team to participate (the auction items include spirit bones over 50,000 years old and unprecedented and extraordinary gifts)."

"Location: Auction Hall 1, Room 3; Time: 3:45 PM onwards."

Jing Hongchen stared at the invitation up and down, but found no problems, so he waved his hand and announced that they were going to go purchase goods.

On the way, Jing Hongchen seemed to remember something and sent a message to Xu Tianxi:
"By the way, Tianxi, your master uncle and the others are here too. They might also be participating in the auction this time."

Xu Tianxi's eyes flickered: "Are they here too?"

"Yes, they seem to be trying to capture the evil soul master who blew up Shrek in the Mingdou Mountains. I wonder if they have succeeded yet..."

Xu Tianxi: The glorious resume of the Death Messenger has been added. After escaping from the hands of the 98th-level Super Douluo, the 97th-level Super Douluo personally led a team to capture him. If he can still survive, the position of the leader of the Holy Spirit Church may have to be abdicated.
