Douluo Continent II: You're an evil spirit master, but also a philanthropist?

After a few seconds.

Nothing happened.

Xiao Hongchen curled his lip and stored the fixed soul guide into the memory.

"Interesting, you weren't scared at all. I hope you can be this brave on the field. Come on, Acheng, what's the point of talking to this kind of trash..."

Xu Cheng smiled helplessly.

They left together, preparing to enter the assessment.

The crowd dispersed, but Wang Shaojie remained standing there, stunned.

"Big brother is really brave!"

"Even if Mount Tai collapses before you, your expression will remain unchanged!"

"Big brother, that's tough!"

The underlings who had just slipped away returned one after another. Seeing Wang Shaojie still standing there in a daze, they showered him with praise without reservation.

Wang Shaojie felt bitter inside.

It's not that he doesn't want to run; his legs are clearly not obeying his commands!

When that thick, black tube was pointed at him, he felt a momentary jolt of fear, then it was as if he had lost control of his body; his legs felt like lead, and he couldn't move...

Fortunately, it was just a joke.

"It's nothing..."

Wang Shaojie pretended to be nonchalant.

Xiao Hongchen blamed all the embarrassment and frustration of almost making a fool of herself on Xu Cheng.

I'll teach you a lesson during the assessment later!

……

The center of the venue is divided into twenty zones by metal barriers.

In other words, the twenty assessments will be conducted simultaneously, which will speed up the assessment process. Otherwise, if they were conducted one by one, it might not be completed for half a year...

This assessment will last for one week.

The awards will be distributed until the first, second, and third place winners, as well as the top twenty, are determined.

"The first twenty candidates, please enter the examination room!"

Lin Jiayi's voice rang out.

Xiao Hongchen and Xu Cheng arrived at their respective areas.

Xiao Hongchen's opponent is also a classmate from the new class.

Huang Hao, a level 21 martial soul food, has slightly less talent than Xiao Hongchen and the other two, but he is definitely one of the top figures in his age group.

Upon seeing Xiao Hongchen, Huang Hao smiled helplessly.

A losing proposition.

He had been secretly praying that he would not encounter any of these three people; he still had a fighting chance against any of the others.

But that's just how unlucky I am...

But he happened to run into the person he least wanted to encounter.

"So, how about we consider surrendering?" Xiao Hongchen asked with a smile.

"bring it on."

Without wasting words, Huang Hao freed his hands, conjured two pieces of tender white tofu, stuffed them into his mouth, and chewed as a remote soul tool appeared in his hand…

……

In the spectator seats.

The highest point.

Jing Hongchen and Teacher Cheng appeared at some unknown time, with Dean of Students Lin Jiayi accompanying them. The judges and teachers around them sat nervously in the back, not daring to make the slightest move.

"Xiao has made quite a bit of progress these past few months."

Old Cheng looked down at the assessment with a smile.

In fact, far more than just a few people are paying attention to Xiao Hongchen.

Most people at the Soul Guidance Hall come to see Xiao Hongchen, which shows how popular it is.

And the result did not disappoint everyone.

Xiao Hongchen displayed an almost overwhelming dominance.

Even Huang Hao, who was also in the same class and whose talent ranked among the top ten in the entire grade, couldn't defeat him in just two moves.

As a level three Soul Master, he not only accurately calculates the timing and distance of enemy attacks, but also has a control over Soul Tools that far surpasses that of his peers. He is very adept at using them, and many senior students in the fourth and fifth grades feel ashamed of their own.

The results were no surprise.

Xiao Hongchen achieved victory decisively and cleanly.

While the fighting was raging in several nearby areas, he arrogantly bowed to those around him before gracefully walking down the steps.

Undisputed number one genius.

This immediately drew thunderous applause and cheers from the entire audience.

Xiao Hongchen's delicate and pretty face made many girls cheer for her.

Everyone admires strength...

"Youthful spirit, hahaha, I was just as dashing when I was young."

Old Cheng stroked his chin and said with a smile.

Chapter 22: Murderous Intent Rises, A Bizarre Scene Unfolds!

“Ah, now that there’s such a gem before us, should we laugh or…” Jing Hongchen shook his head with a wry smile.

If it weren't for what happened that afternoon.

He was probably happy for his grandson, but Xu Cheng's extraordinary talent made him tremble. He knew his own grandson well and worried that the boy's ambitions might not be enough. He hoped that when he encountered someone whose strength and talent far surpassed his own, the boy might develop a grudge...

Especially considering Old Master Cheng's tone, he already regarded Xu Cheng as his last disciple.

Therefore, it is the least worthwhile thing to do.

"You're just letting your concern cloud your judgment," Old Cheng said calmly, seeing through Jing Hongchen's thoughts. "This child, I've watched him grow up. Though he's proud, he's not foolish..."

"I hope so..."

……

"Xu Cheng!"

Wang Shaojie gritted his teeth and said.

"Why are you calling me?"

Xu Cheng found it quite amusing.

Could it be that he's taking the humiliation Xiao gave him back at himself?

"I will defeat you in front of everyone!" Wang Shaojie sneered. "You're nothing but a motherless piece of trash. How dare you compete with the Fourth Prince for the throne? By the way, your mother was a whore too. Why didn't she take you with her?"

"..."

Xu Cheng's smile slowly froze.

Not long after he transmigrated, his mother in this world died in childbirth.

Then, he overheard the maid Huoqing's rambling and learned the truth about his mother's death: it was because of him. The imperial physician had told him that both mother and child were dead, or one was dead and the other alive, and that she had left the body with the chance to live...

People should at least know how to be grateful.

So when the word "bitch" came out, in Xu Cheng's eyes, Wang Shaojie was already a dead man.

offstage.

Xiao Hongchen was observing the battle with utter boredom.

His gaze inadvertently fell on Xu Cheng.

However, he did not move away, and his expression changed from lazy to serious.

"Dream... don't you think A-Cheng is acting a little strange?"

"It seems a bit like he's become a different person," Meng Hongchen hesitated. "But..."

The pretty girl's lips curled into an irrepressible smile.

She held her little face in her hands, looking completely infatuated.

"He's even more handsome now."

Xiao Hongchen: "..."
