Later, Kong Bo did indeed fulfill his promise. For instance, he said to Kong Deming, "Great-grandfather, when I was out training with my master, the Evil Emperor, I saw a female soul master with an Angel Martial Soul. She is twelve years old and level 28. I am not sure if she meets the standards of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. If she does, could you help her join us?"
"What? An Angel Martial Soul, and a soul master who reached level 28 at twelve years old?" Kong Deming was so excited that he put down his pen. "Our Sun Moon Empire has powerful soul guidance devices, but we are severely lacking in traditional soul masters. Although she is only a twelve-year-old child now, our nation can afford to wait and invest in her training. Once she grows up, she could become the greatest asset to our Sun Moon Empire. I will write a letter to Dean Jing Hongchen."
Then, Kong Deming patted Kong Bo on the head. "Very good, Bo'er. You know to recommend talented soul masters like yourself instead of being unable to tolerate them. In the future, if you and your master encounter outstanding soul masters while training, just recommend them all."
The next morning, Kong Bo brought Ye Guyi to meet Jing Hongchen. Jing Hongchen tested her soul power and Martial Soul, then waved his hand in approval. "Child, from now on, you are a student of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Such talent is worth our academy's investment. Cultivate well; there will certainly be a place for you in the next Soul Master Tournament."
Jing Hongchen then looked at Kong Bo. "Well done, Kong Bo. You go out to train and still remember to recommend talent to our academy. If you find more talents like Ye Guyi in the future, be sure to bring them back."
"Yes, Dean Hongchen." Kong Bo bowed respectfully. "This junior will take his leave."
"Oh, you good child, you are too polite!" Jing Hongchen said. "I look at you the same way I look at Brother Xiao and Sister Meng. Go on and get busy."
Meanwhile, the Evil Emperor had also spoken with Shangguan Wei'er and Xu Tianyuan. Once these two realized the Evil Emperor wanted someone, they were naturally willing to let them go; the face of a Limit Douluo was worth giving. Furthermore, Qian Renxue had always looked after the Qing family, descendants of Qingluan Douluo, as well as the Su family, descendants of Guangling Douluo.
Currently, Qing Luo was a captain on duty in the Ming Capital, and Su Xian was the chief forensic examiner in the Ming Capital. They were considered elites in the Sun Moon Empire, but it was still not enough to support the sons and daughters of every family as soul masters, so Kong Bo gave each family 3,000 gold soul coins. Qian Renxue also explained the situation to Qing Luo and Su Xian, noting that Kong Bo was willing to fund both families for her sake.
"Young Master Kong, rest assured. If you have any needs in the future, we will certainly not refuse. If you want to ask about anything or need us to arrange something, we will help," said Qing Luo.
Kong Bo arranged all these matters himself, and the conversations were handled by him alone. At this point, Qian Renxue's opinion of Kong Bo was very high. These matters were handled quite appropriately, and as Kong Deming's great-grandson, Kong Bo was very peaceful toward everyone. He lacked the arrogance of the disciples from great soul master families and did not act like the noble children of the Heaven Dou Empire.
What surprised Qian Renxue even more was that Kong Bo had such close ties with those fierce beast experts. After all, Kong Bo returned to the Evil Emperor's home at night, where the Demon Empress, Lan Fozi, the Ice Empress, the Snow Empress, and Zi Ji all resided. Moreover, these fierce beast experts did not act like Kong Bo's masters; whatever Kong Bo asked them to do, they did, acting almost like his subordinates.
Qian Renxue was stunned. Lan Fozi's strength was that of a level 92 Titled Douluo, but the others were basically Super Douluo or Limit Douluo. Even when she held her position in Spirit Hall, she could not command her own elder-level protectors like that.
Yet, Kong Bo commanded these fierce beast experts, and they actually listened to him. Qian Renxue naturally had to ask why, because in her view, it was too absurd. The relationship between soul beasts and humans, even if not as close as family, was usually like fire and water. God King Tang's father, Tang Hammer, and God King Tang himself were, after all, the exception among exceptions.
Hearing Qian Renxue ask this, Kong Bo replied, "As for why? I saved their lives."
"Impossible, you're lying!" Qian Renxue said. "You are only a Great Soul Master. How could I believe that you saved the lives of these soul beast experts!"
Kong Bo did not refute Qian Renxue. He looked at the calendar; the day of the Snow Empress's Lightning Tribulation was only two days away. "Miss Angel God, just watch in two days."
Two days later, the Snow Empress arrived at the outskirts of the Ming Capital, far from the city, and began preparing for the tribulation. Kong Bo handed the Faraday Cage to the Snow Empress and had her step inside.
"That's it? Kong Bo, don't tell me you intend to use this cage to help her withstand the Lightning Tribulation," Qian Renxue said.
"Watch closely and learn." Kong Bo pointed to his head. "Miss Angel God, being born human, what one should truly be proud of is not the mastery of great power, but the endless wisdom capable of creating that power. This is the biggest difference between humans and other species, and here (pointing to his head), there is no difference between the gods above and ordinary people."
"Fine, whatever you say is right. I'm just very curious how you will help her withstand the Lightning Tribulation," Qian Renxue said. "Just by relying on that cage made of ordinary iron?"
"Why not? Watch closely and learn," Kong Bo said.
Not long after, dark clouds gathered above the Snow Empress's head, and powerful lightning struck down toward her. The Snow Empress was facing a 700,000-year Lightning Tribulation, meaning she had to endure seven bolts of lightning. If she had taken them normally, she would have surely died, but with the help of the Faraday Cage, the Snow Empress did not take a single hit; the cage blocked them all.
After the seven bolts of lightning ended, the Snow Empress was pale—partly from fear, but also from surprise and relief. These were seven full bolts of lightning; she had been prepared to endure at least one or two. Yet, this fragile iron cage had withstood all seven, and after the tribulation, the Faraday Cage remained completely undamaged.
"That's great, Big Sister!" Once the tribulation passed, the Ice Empress immediately opened the Faraday Cage, excitedly pulled the Snow Empress out, and began nuzzling her.
"Now do you know why they are willing to listen to me?" Kong Bo said.
