In an instant, Jing Hongchen's expression changed drastically. He blurted out, "Xu He! You're Xu He? You're actually still alive?"
"Perhaps you're more familiar with this face."
As he spoke, He Caitou stirred his Soul Power, and his facial muscles immediately twisted slightly, taking on the honest, simple-looking face he had shown to the public for many years.
This time, Jing Hongchen did not need to say anything.
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen cried out in unison, "He Caitou! That big dark fellow from Fortress Warfare!"
He Caitou rubbed his bald head. "Looks like I left quite a deep impression on you back then."
Obviously. How could it not have been deep?
That had been Shrek's first mech unveiled to the outside world, when the Sun Moon Empire's Humanoid Soul Tools were still only at the earliest stage!
A mature mech with multiple functions!
Especially during these past years, when the Sun Moon Empire clashed with Shrek Academy's Soul Engineer Corps, the sight of hundreds of mechs transforming into fortress forms at once had truly given the Sun Moon Empire quite a surprise.
Later, it was only through the High-Energy Compressed Array Soul Tool and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Corps that they established an advantage and began suppressing Shrek's mech Soul Engineer Corps in turn.
Ji Juechen, standing nearby, also gave a faint nod. "Hall Master Hongchen, it has been a long time."
This time, Jing Hongchen's expression twisted even further.
How could he possibly fail to recognize such an oddball? This was the very oddball he had personally appointed as the actual chief of the Soul Tool Department!
Jing Hongchen pointed at Ji Juechen, his entire body trembling slightly. "Ji Juechen, you traitor... I was truly blind back then! Blind! I... sigh!"
Ji Juechen paid no heed
