"Ice Scorpion!"
Jing Hongchen cried out in alarm. Though he had served as the master of Mingde Hall for many years and held great power and authority in the Sun Moon Empire, able to remain unfazed no matter what he encountered, this time was an exception.
As Xiao Qiang's teacher, he knew that Xiao Qiang possessed an almost terrifying talent for Soul Tools, as well as a top-tier Body Spirit.
A top-tier Body Spirit was enough to allow Xiao Qiang to cultivate to the rank of Titled Douluo. His ability to craft Soul Tools two major realms beyond his own meant that, at the Titled Douluo stage, Xiao Qiang might be able to create Tenth Level Soul Tools and become a Tenth Level Soul Engineer.
Thus, once Xiao Qiang had displayed his talent and his background had been confirmed to be unproblematic, Jing Hongchen had immediately used genuine treasures to pull Xiao Qiang onto the Hongchen Family's chariot, intending to add a powerful Soul Engineer to the family's future arsenal.
Yet after not seeing him for some time, not only had Xiao Qiang's talent for Soul Tools reached the absolute pinnacle, but his talent as a Soul Master had also reached the absolute pinnacle.
In Jing Hongchen's memory, the only person who had ever crafted Soul Tools two major realms above his own at a young age was his teacher, Kong Deming. But even then, Kong Deming had only made relatively ordinary Soul Tools, not something like a Milk Bottle, a Soul Tool universally acknowledged to be exceedingly difficult.
As for Xiao Qiang possessing Twin Martial Souls—one a top-tier Body Spirit and the other an ultimate Martial Soul—Jing Hongchen had not merely never seen such a thing. Before this, he had never even imagined that such a being could exist.
