With Wu Ling's roar, everyone in the Royal Soul Engineer Academy was shocked. After all, who was Jing Hongchen? He was the current head of the Mingde Hall!
In this era, the Holy Spirit Cult has not yet emerged, and the three major powers in the world are Shrek Academy, the Body Sect, and the Mingde Hall.
Therefore, although Jing Hongchen is only a level 94 Titled Douluo, in terms of status alone, he should be equal to Mu En of Shrek and Du Busi of the Body Sect. Moreover, Jing Hongchen is more famous than the two above. So, Wu Ling shouting for Jing Hongchen outside the academy is no less than shouting for Bibi Dong outside the Spirit Hall in Spirit City.
Deep within the Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen, who was performing a meticulous operation, was suddenly interrupted by this shout. Staring at the metal wire that had broken in two in his hand, Jing Hongchen was slightly stunned before bursting into anger. It wasn't that he hadn't failed before, but it hadn't happened to him in so many years since he became the head of the Mingde Hall.
"Who! Who is it?!" Jing Hongchen roared angrily. A bright light appeared on his back, which was the Level 9 Soul Tool he had created for himself. In addition, he was already Titled Douluo. He left the room at an extremely fast speed and flew towards the source of the sound.
At the same time, several deans of students and teachers also flew towards the gate of the academy, following the sound.
When Jing Hongchen arrived above the academy gate, he found that more than a dozen teachers had already arrived and were confronting the three people below.
Jing Hongchen ignored the two children below, focusing his attention on the person who seemed to be wearing armor. His eyes revealed surprise as he whispered, " Super Douluo!"
But then, that surprise turned into anger. "Hmph, so what if he's Super Douluo? He's come all the way to the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, and he's causing trouble at the Mingde Hall no less. Even if Limit Douluo came, he'd still have to give us an explanation."
When Jing Hongchen landed, the teachers felt as if they had found their pillar of support. Because the entire Royal Soul Engineer Academy focused on Soul Tool, most of the teachers, except for Jing Hongchen and a few deans, were Soul Douluo Soul Douluo or below. Even Jing Hongchen, the hall master, was only a level 94 Titled Douluo. Therefore, when they sensed that their opponent was a Super Douluo, the pressure they felt was immense. They wished they could go back a few minutes and slap themselves, then point at their own noses and yell, "Why couldn't you just quietly focus on making Soul Tool? Why did you have to be the one sticking your neck out!"
Jing Hongchen stared at Long Wu for a few more seconds, a ridiculous thought popping into his head, but he immediately dismissed it, because even he couldn't create a humanoid Soul Tool. After much deliberation, Jing Hongchen was certain he didn't recognize the man at all, so he quickly organized his thoughts and asked, "You look unfamiliar. Could it be that some senior has come out of seclusion, making such a grand entrance to seek me out for what purpose?"
"Ha, so you're Jing Hongchen?"
Upon hearing the voice, Jing Hongchen noticed that it was extremely young. Looking in the direction of the voice, he discovered that the one who answered him was not the Super Douluo, but a young man standing in the main seat.
The young man was handsome, wearing a black trench coat with gold trim. His dashing face carried an arrogant air, and his every move exuded an inexplicable aura, clearly indicating that he was either in a high position or extremely wealthy.
"That's right, it is I. May I ask who you are, young master...?"
Wu Ling glanced at Jing Hongchen casually and said arrogantly, "You think you're the strongest Soul Engineer on this continent? You can't even distinguish between primary and secondary roles, you don't seem that great." As she spoke, Wu Ling patted Long Wu's chest.
When Jing Hongchen first heard Wu Ling's words, he was surprised and somewhat skeptical. From the information Wu Ling revealed, he knew that Wu Ling came from another continent. For the original inhabitants of the Sun Moon Continent, who had already collided with the Douluo Continent, Jing Hongchen did not doubt that there were other continents on the boundless sea. However, it seemed very strange that Wu Ling would suddenly appear in front of him and come looking for him.
All these doubts vanished with the sound of Wu Ling patting Long Wu's chest.
"Human...humanoid... Soul Tool!" Even just from the sound, Jing Hongchen dared to use his brain, which had studied Soul Tool his whole life, to guarantee that the Super Douluo was definitely a humanoid Soul Tool!
Not only Jing Hongchen, but almost everyone who became a teacher or director in this academy heard something from that voice. However, because the truth was too unimaginable, they subconsciously avoided the correct answer. Only Jing Hongchen firmly believed in himself.
"To be able to identify someone just by their voice, that's quite confident. So, are you planning to entertain guests here?"
With a flushed Jing Hongchen immediately realized what was happening. He quickly waved to disperse the teachers, then asked the head of the teaching department to prepare a room, while he himself went to Wu Ling's side.
"Come, young master, please come in. Let me personally introduce our academy to you." As she said this, Jing Hongchen's eyes still couldn't help but dart towards Long Wu.
Even though he only saw the tip of the iceberg of the Long Wu Artifact, Jing Hongchen was certain that this humanoid Soul Tool was manufactured using technology he had never heard of before. Moreover, the level of technology involved was definitely not achieved overnight; it had been refined over many years to reach this point. This meant that behind the Long Wu, or rather, the Wu Ling, there must be a complete manufacturing system.
Now, even if Wu Ling came from another continent, or even from another world, Jing Hongchen wouldn't dare to completely disbelieve it.
"Alright, let me see just how far your school, run by the number one Soul Engineer on the continent, can go?"
Jing Hongchen was not surprised by Wu Ling's arrogance, because in his mind, he had already labeled Wu Ling as a prince from another continent. In addition, Wu Ling possessed technology that could help him advance further, so Wu Ling's humble words at this moment seemed more like he was feeling guilty.
Behind them, Huo Yu'er looked at Wu Ling with admiration, for this was the new lesson Wu Ling had taught Huo Yu'er— "Three sentences to make the continent's top experts bow and scrape before me." (Crossed out) "The establishment of a persona."
Wu Ling taught Huo Yu'er to protect herself when facing unfamiliar strangers, and the persona she established would play a very important role in this.
Building a persona doesn't require rigidly piling it up over time. With a little guidance and by refining some details, outsiders can fill in the gaps in their imaginations and construct your persona themselves.
For example, Wu Ling's current persona is that of a "genius from another continent".
