Of course, the reason for this is that no bond has been established.

In the original novel, the Tang Sect was a bond (although it was supported by the protagonist's halo), but in the later stages, it did make Ji Juechen feel the warmth of home.

On the contrary, sometimes contributing both money and effort can make you seem like a sycophant...

Therefore, to subdue someone like Ji Juechen, Cao Cao's mindset alone is not enough; you also need Liu Bei's mindset, you need to become a succubus...

"Hmm..." Even when facing a big shot, Ji Juechen maintained a calm and indifferent expression, nodding the only difference from his usual demeanor.

The teacher of the class covered his face in embarrassment upon seeing this.

"Ninth place..."

Jing Hongchen didn't care about Ji Juechen's indifference, clearly having long understood his personality.

Then the next one.

Nana obtained two short daggers, the [Netherworld Dagger], which can increase movement speed and attack speed by 30% each, and also has a poison effect. It is a level 7 soul tool, and is also (adaptive level).

The teachers in the audience were envious.

This kind of adaptive soul tool is absolutely a top-tier soul tool, a core-level existence, not to mention the other three kingdoms and Shrek Academy, even the Sun Moon Empire.

Only produced by Mingdetang.

But when Jing Hongchen gave it away, it was as if it were free.

Then Tang Ya came in fourth place.

When the latter met Jing Hongchen, he was noticeably reserved, with his hands clasped behind his back.

To be honest, as the successor of the Tang Clan, she was quite averse to these soul tools. However, in recent days, after getting to know Meng Hongchen, she gradually let go of her prejudice against soul tools and began to accept them.

Now, facing the unfathomable power of the Mingde Hall Master, her identity as a descendant of the Tang Clan is somewhat awkward.

But soon, I felt a chill on the back of my hand.

She glanced to the side with slight surprise and saw Meng Hongchen holding her hand, offering a smile that seemed to comfort her.

"..."

Tang Ya felt a warmth in her heart.

The senses of the Sun and Moon Empire instantly warmed up considerably.

At least her friends are here...

As for her father's dying wish to go to Shrek Academy, she hesitated at the beginning of the semester, but with the kindness of her roommate and best friend Meng Hongchen, she never went.

See this scene.

The old fox Jing Hongchen also handed over a soul tool with a smile.

"A level seven soul tool, with an invincible golden body shield, capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a Soul Douluo or lower-level expert, but after charging, it can only provide three seconds of protection..."

Chapter 30 Lap Pillow? Heading to the Border!

"Thanks……"

Tang Ya pursed her red lips and bowed.

"Hehe, this is what you won." Jing Hongchen smiled, a hint of curiosity flashing across his face.

He could tell that Tang Ya herself had a strange quality about her.

The martial soul, Dark Blue Silver Grass, should have some devouring properties.

The Blue Silver Grass that has been revealed so far has probably devoured at least a hundred people, and its appearance has been almost completely mutated.

But for an ordinary person, they would probably have already fallen into depravity and turned to the dark side.

The girl, however, was fully conscious, and her actions did not seem to be the work of those Holy Spirit Cult members.

Could it be... that this kid did it?

Jing Hongchen glanced at Xu Cheng beside her, burying her questions in her heart.

Meng Hongchen and Jing Hongchen each received an eighth-level soul tool. Of course, everyone knew that as the grandchildren of the Mingde Hall Master, they wouldn't be short of such a reward.

It's more about reputation than anything else.

Finally, it was Xu Cheng's turn.

Jing Hongchen took out a soul tool directly.

"May the mortal world protect you!"

Xu Cheng's eyes narrowed sharply.

A level nine soul tool, the ticket for Jing Hongchen's "tour" of the Sea Cucumber Pavilion in the original novel!

While it may not be considered top-tier among level nine soul tools, it is certainly not bad either. Most importantly, this level nine soul tool was made by his own hand, guaranteeing its quality.

Could the prize for this assessment be this amazing?

Xu Cheng was stunned.

Even at the wealthy Shrek Academy, if he remembered correctly, the number one student only had a soul bone that was 30,000 to 40,000 years old.

"This is a personal gift from me to you; your reward is this..."

Jing Hongchen transmitted his voice.

As she spoke, she subtly placed the Red Dust Blessing into Xu Cheng's hand, then handed him a metal core array, patting Xu Cheng's shoulder with a smile, "May you find your mentor."

Xu Cheng opened his mouth.

Looking into that kind gaze, he slowly nodded.

"thank you……"

If Jing Hongchen's attitude was somewhat ambiguous before, then now...

I've placed my bet!

"As for this core formation, it is a level seven soul tool. Don't look down on it. If you can study it and understand it, you will know its value."

Jing Hongchen sent another telepathic message, then left with a smile.

Xu Cheng looked down at the core of the formation, then at the departing figure of Hongchen with glasses.

Let out a long breath.

"Brother Cheng, how could my grandfather do this?!" Meng Hongchen came over angrily, seeing that Xu Cheng only had a core formation in his hand, and it was only at level seven, she said with righteous indignation.

"Don't worry, I'll ask Grandpa for another level eight soul tool later!"

"Cough cough cough..."

Xu Cheng coughed twice.

“Although this core formation is only level seven, it is of great significance, far surpassing other soul tools, and moreover…” Xu Cheng flipped his palm, and a red crystal appeared in his hand.

"May the mortal world protect you!"

Meng Hongchen gasped softly.

"I never expected Grandpa to give all of this to you." Xiao Hongchen was quite moved.

Level nine soul tools have transcended the scope of ordinary soul tools; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them strategic-level...

"Grandpa..." Only Tang Ya's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

Unexpectedly, the head of Mingde Hall, a level nine Soul Master... is my best friend's grandfather?

No wonder...

……

The holiday is coming.

The first semester has ended.

Many people chose to return home and use their family's resources to obtain a second soul ring.

Many people from families that were not wealthy chose to stay in Mingdu to work and study, making a living by manufacturing low-level soul tools and selling them to the black market or other forces.

The reputation of the Royal Academy of the Sun and Moon Empire is still terrifying.

Every year during the holidays, many forces approach us, and we cooperate amicably.

Of course, the Sun Moon Empire Academy also provides subsidies. For those from impoverished families, the academy provides ten gold soul coins per month, as well as some assistance with soul tool research.

Unlike Shrek Academy, which is considered an "aristocratic academy," the Sun Moon Empire has many students who come from commoner backgrounds...

Xu Cheng's style is different from that of the others.

Outside the college gate.

A mechanically guided braking vehicle slowly came to a stop.

The driver was a tall, unfamiliar man shrouded in a black robe.

The space inside this soul-guided vehicle is already quite spacious, but its body is still supported by the roof, and it even shows some signs of hunching forward.

"Your Holiness..."
