Invitation to enter the Sea God Pavilion?
Jing Hongchen stopped in her tracks, not daring to move.
He knew what the Sea God Pavilion was, and he certainly didn't dare to go in.
If he couldn't be poisoned, he didn't have so many considerations. He laughed and immediately agreed, "Okay, even Dragon God Douluo Mu En invited me, how could I be afraid not to go in?"
The others from the Body Sect immediately tried to dissuade him from Du Busi, but he refused.
Xuan Zi snorted, "Since you've come here uninvited, what are you afraid of?"
An invitation, coupled with the fact that Du Busi had arrived earlier, had also gone down to the entrance of the Sea God Pavilion, Jing Hongchen suspended in mid-air, unsure of what to do.
Who could have imagined this situation?
Gritting his teeth, he thought, "Even the troublemaker Du Busi has gone in; how could he possibly stay outside?"
The four entered the Sea God Pavilion one after another.
Ji Siyuan and Huo Yuhao also went inside, without stopping outside.
" Soul Tool really can help Soul Master. A level 93 Titled Douluo was actually able to withstand my pressure." Xuan Zi released his Soul Power, his aura as heavy as the earth.
Before Jing Hongchen could answer, Du Busi spoke up, " Xuan Zi, you really are no good. I have to do it."
When facing a common enemy, that enemy is a friend.
Not to mention that the conflict Body Sect and Shrek was not significant to begin with, and even if it existed, it was not as great as the conflict with the Virtuous Hall.
Despite the pressure from the two men, Jing Hongchen asked, "Is this how you treat guests?"
"Just testing my skills, Level Nine Soul Engineer is truly amazing."
"I'm not one of Shrek's people."
Mu En tapped the table, and a burst of luminous Soul Power immediately interrupted the two's suppression.
" Ninth-Level Soul Tool are rare. It would be strange if Xuan Zi and Du Busi curious. You agree, right, Virtuous Hall?" Mu En took over the matter lightly, giving Jing Hongchen the chance to speak.
Jing Hongchen revealed a smug look. "Only my Sun Moon Empire can make Ninth-Level Soul Tool, so naturally we are unparalleled in the world. Moreover, I believe that the current Soul Tool are only in the initial research stage, and the future will inevitably belong to Soul Tool. In the future, Soul Engineer will replace Soul Master, and the profession of Soul Master will no longer exist."
"Bullshit!" Du Busi cursed angrily.
Ji Siyuan spat out the wine he had just taken a sip.
"Gentlemen, be civilized. We're still kids." The four of them discussed the future on one side, while Ji Siyuan and Huo Yuhao mixed drinks on the other.
Du Busi smelled the aroma of the wine. "Good wine, kid, give me a cup."
Ji Siyuan: " God Rank bartender's drink, exchanged for the Second Awakening secret technique!"
"Join my sect and you'll immediately receive the secret technique for Second Awakening." Du Busi wasn't stupid; he knew it was the secret technique Huo Yuhao wanted.
"Never mind then, you shouldn't drink either." Then he looked at Jing Hongchen: "Want a drink? One Level 8 Soul Tool in exchange. I can customize a Ninth-Level Soul Tool for you."
Jing Hongchen glanced at Ji Siyuan, and was greatly surprised. At only twelve or thirteen years old, a fourth-level cultivator, and he actually possessed other skills?
He glanced at Du Busi again and tossed him an Level 8 Soul Tool: " Level 8 Soul Tool, Eternal Frost Bracer, which can give ice-attribute Soul Master some close combat ability." Obviously, this thing was originally meant for Meng Hongchen.
This is both a gesture of goodwill towards Ji Siyuan and a show of force against Du Busi: I'm rich.
Level 8 Soul Tool are of little importance to Jing Hongchen, who is already at level 9, but they are very important to Huo Yuhao. Soul Tool made by Grandmaster can help him quickly improve his understanding of Soul Tool.
Ji Siyuan, keeping his promise, handed over a glass of wine. " Full Heart Kumquat."
Jing Hongchen downed his drink in one gulp. "Excellent wine! If it were a few hundred gold coins a cup, this wine would be enough to fill the entire Douluo Continent."
Aside from the current situation, no one would trade Level 8 Soul Tool for a cup of wine.
Huo Yuhao, upon receiving the Eternal Frost Bracer, blushed even more deeply than usual.
The meeting had an unexpected little incident, which eased the tense atmosphere.
" Soul Tool are the future. It doesn't matter if you pretend you can't see them. The future will inevitably belong to Soul Tool."
Xuan Zi: "What does that have to do with you? You'll never see that day."
"What does it matter, as long as it's within my Sun Moon Empire. Your Soul Tool technology is too outdated." Jing Hongchen subconsciously glanced at the Eternal Frost Bracer.
Another reason for handing over an Level 8 Soul Tool was to get them caught up in this high-level imitation, which could affect their development for decades to come.
"Why does it have to be an empire? Once Soul Tool develop, there won't be any empires anymore." Ji Siyuan didn't refute Jing Hongchen's words, but instead approached it from another angle. "Although I don't understand these things, my father once said that after the development of productive forces, new relations of production will inevitably be sought."
Do you understand what a second-generation transmigrator is? Ji Siyuan had never seen one, but Ji Dong had definitely.
Du Busi: "What is all this nonsense? Such a young child spouting things I can't understand." Even Xuan Zi chimed in with a couple of comments.
But Mu En and Jing Hongchen remained silent; they had truly taken it to heart.
"Well said, this is also a way to solve the mainland problem." Mu En understood part of the meaning and said, "I seem to see an even more wonderful future."
Jing Hongchen: "This kind of thing will happen later."
Ji Siyuan couldn't offer any further explanation, after all, he wasn't Ji Dong, and he didn't understand. Asking Tang San was useless, as Tang San didn't understand either.
The exchange ended, and we quickly got down to business.
" Dragon God invited me in, is it just to show me the power of Shrek?" Jing Hongchen was very curious about this question.
Du Busi dead, he looked at Mu En in bewilderment.
Mu En cleared his throat. "I'd like to invite the two exchange students to learn from each other."
"What?" Jing Hongchen and Du Busi exclaimed in surprise at the same time. Neither of them had ever thought of this suggestion.
Mu En continued, " Jing Hongchen just said that Soul Engineer will replace Soul Master in the future. We don't know if that's true, but it's not happening now. I want to exchange ideas and learn from you all so that students and young people across the Douluo Continent can learn things that are more suitable for them."
"We at Shrek lack understanding of the Body Martial Soul and knowledge of Soul Tool. However, we have many other methods of cultivation for Soul Master."
"Both Virtuous Hall and Body Sect have their own shortcomings."
"Wouldn't it be perfect if we sent students to each other for study?"
A moment of silence fell over the scene. Du Busi wasn't stupid; he knew, of course, that Soul Tool represented the future. His direct confrontation with Jing Hongchen was to avoid being at a disadvantage, and learning now was undoubtedly the best option.
Jing Hongchen, on the other hand, was thinking about paving the way for his grandchildren. The cultivation ceiling of the Sun Moon Empire Realm was really too low, especially now. He also needed new cultivation methods.
"Speaking of which, shouldn't the Sun Moon Empire Sect also have its Body Martial Soul?" Ji Siyuan immediately pointed out the crux of the matter regarding the Du Busi. The Sun and Sun Moon Empire Sect's Martial Soul is still a Martial Soul, so why should it be discarded just because of the country? That doesn't conform to the rules of their sect.
"And speaking of limits, haven't you all forgotten something? The true limit for Soul Master isn't the Limit Douluo."
Becoming a god—ten thousand years have passed, and it has become a legend.
This is the true absolute limit; Jing Hongchen cannot foresee a future where Soul Tool surpass those of gods.
Ji Siyuan slowly walked towards Du Busi: "Well, how should I put it? I'll also demonstrate my Martial Soul."
A bright Geocentric Red Lotus appeared before everyone's eyes, incredibly close to Du Busi.
"Speaking of which, could I be considered Body Martial Soul?"
All five of them stared in shock at Ji Siyuan's Geocentric Red Lotus. What did he mean by "you can also see it as"?
Everyone's attention gradually shifted to Du Busi. As the sect leader, he should at least provide an explanation.
Even Du Busi couldn't believe it. "It really is... You're Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
However, Xuan Zi immediately refuted this conjecture, stating that Ji Siyuan had indeed absorbed the Soul Ring.
"Why would someone's Body Martial Soul be a Lotus?"
"No, that's not right. This isn't your Body Martial Soul." Du Busi finally noticed a clue.
"I thought it was your soul, but now it seems you are merely a part of my bloodline."
Confirmed by the Sect Master of the Body Sect, this is indeed not Body Martial Soul.
Ji Siyuan shrugged. "That's settled then." If it's not true, it's not true; he doesn't need his Body Martial Soul to prove himself.
"However, it is indeed rare to find one that fits so perfectly with my Body Sect. Without me, the sect master, no one can tell whether yours is Body Martial Soul or not."
"Perhaps I can use a secret technique from my Body Sect."
Ji Siyuan also returned to his seat and remained silent. He had done what he was supposed to do.
The two of them, prompted by Mu En, realized what he meant. " God-Level Martial Soul!"
"Alright, my Body Sect agrees to the joint training. However, we require these two to first test their mettle at my Body Sect. After all, they can be considered disciples of my sect. In exchange, my Body Sect's Long Aotian and his fiancée will come to Shrek. As for the Virtuous Hall, some disciples will go there."
Jing Hongchen: "My Virtuous Hall also agrees. I will send my grandchildren over. Shrek and Body Sect can choose their own people to come to my Virtuous Hall."
"However, Ji Siyuan's killing still has a significant impact, and I need to find a way to eliminate it. Send someone else over after some time."
