Huge Gains

Boom...

As the ground trembled slightly, a tremendous crash echoed through the skies above all of Mingdu, lingering for a long time.

This was already the second time today. Everyone on the streets could not help but look up toward the southwestern sky.

To the people living in Mingdu, that direction was all too familiar. Aside from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, it was also home to Ming De Hall, the holy land of Soul Masters across the continent.

Had something happened at Ming De Hall today?

Or were they conducting some kind of powerful Soul Tool experiment?

Almost everyone had those two guesses in mind.

In truth, both guesses were wrong.

Ming De Hall, the center of everyone's discussion.

Jing Hongchen slumped on the ground, his luxurious brocade robes torn to shreds. A large bloodstain spread across his chest, while Ye Chen and Yue had long since vanished without a trace.

Of course, that blood was not caused by Ye Chen's attack. It was heart's blood Jing Hongchen had vomited in his rage.

Ye Chen's strike had shattered three of his defensive Soul Tools, every single one of them Rank 9!

Thinking about it, it made sense. Back in the Extreme North, Ye Chen had severely wounded the Titan Snow Demon King with a single spear strike. Merely shattering a few defensive Soul Tools now was already going easy on Jing Hongchen.

But Jing Hongchen did not see it that way. With just one strike, it had reached such terrifying power. Across the continent, the people capable of doing that could be counted on one hand.

Mu En could do it, but that dense dark power clearly could not have come from him. As for Long Xiaoyao, it was even more impossible.

Jing Hongchen knew some secrets.
