Jing Hongchen: Boss!

"Impressive!"

At that moment, Jing Hongchen watched as Morax, armed with nothing but a small knife, instantly slaughtered an entire academy's teaching staff.

These teachers were basically Soul Saints and Soul Douluos. As teachers of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Island Academy, they were all outstanding talents. Yet they had been instantly defeated by Morax, a mere traveler who was not even a Soul Master and had never added Soul Rings to his Martial Soul.

He watched Morax wield that small knife and instantly defeat them all. He moved so fast that Jing Hongchen could not see him clearly, and his martial prowess was terrifyingly high. His technique was unbelievably refined!

He had not even used the power of his Martial Soul. He had defeated those teachers purely through martial arts. They were Soul Saints and Soul Douluos; while they were not Title Douluos, they were still incredibly formidable.

If those teachers joined forces, they possessed combat power no weaker than that of a Title Douluo. Yet even so, Morax had effortlessly defeated them in an instant. They had basically been taken down at an unimaginable speed.

And Morax had only used a small knife.

That was all. He had not employed any Martial Soul power whatsoever, relying solely on his own martial skill.

Yet he had instantly defeated so many teachers. This was utterly shocking throughout the entire Sun Moon Empire. After all, the Sun Moon Empire also cultivated Martial Souls.

Although the Sun Moon Empire primarily focused on cultivating Soul Tools—

Martial Souls were still extremely important. To manufacture Soul Tools, one had to possess a Martial Soul at the very least.

Thus, although the Sun Moon Empire's Martial Soul cultivation was not as comprehensive or powerful as that of the Three Douluo Kingdoms and Shrek, it was certainly not weak.

Yet these Soul Saints and Soul Douluos, who had trained to such a level that their combined strength was no weaker than a Title Douluo's, had been instantly defeated by Morax.

"If this man truly has not added Soul Rings to his Martial Soul, then how did he do this? If a Soul Master wishes to become stronger, they must add Soul Rings to their Martial Soul."

"They must raise their Soul Power Level. But according to Morax himself, he has never cultivated his Martial Soul, never added Soul Rings to it, never cultivated Soul Power, and never raised his Soul Power Level. That is completely abnormal."

Jing Hongchen did not know what to say. Morax claimed to be a traveler, and although he possessed a Martial Soul, he had never added Soul Rings to it. His Martial Soul was even a little girl named Paimon. That was shocking enough, but it was nowhere near as shocking as Morax effortlessly defeating those Soul Saint and Soul Douluo teachers.

After all, strange Martial Souls had appeared before in the history of the Douluo Continent. The Sun Moon Empire was no exception.

But what truly stunned him was that Morax had clearly never cultivated Soul Power, raised his Soul Power Level, or added Soul Rings to his Martial Soul, yet he could effortlessly defeat Soul Saints and Soul Douluos. His combat strength was already at the level of a Title Douluo, yet this was happening as though an ant had defeated a drake!

And not just any drake, but the ruler of all draconic beasts!

It was like the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon being instantly defeated by an ant Martial Soul with no power whatsoever.

It seemed there was only one possibility: Morax was a Peerless Douluo, an Ultimate Douluo.

Morax was disguising himself!

That was the only explanation. Otherwise, the master of the Hall of Virtue had no way to understand why someone who had seemingly never cultivated Soul Power and whose Soul Power Level was practically nonexistent could effortlessly defeat Soul Saints and Soul Douluos.

"Master Hongchen, may I now serve as a teacher at this academy?"

Morax guessed that the other man was pondering many things. As Meng Hongchen's grandfather, someone who had risen to such a high position undoubtedly possessed exceptional qualities and wisdom.

Morax could understand why Jing Hongchen would question how he could be so powerful despite never cultivating Soul Power or adding Soul Rings to his Martial Soul. The man was certainly suspicious.

"Um, Mr. Morax, could the two of us speak privately?"

"Certainly."

He had probably noticed something.

Morax looked at Jing Hongchen and understood that the man must have discovered some issue, which was why he wanted to speak with him alone.

"Grandpa, Morax is so powerful. He clearly has not added Soul Rings to his Martial Soul, yet he is this strong. He even defeated a combined force of Soul Douluos and Soul Saints, which was already enough to contend with a Title Douluo. We should give him a teaching position at the Sun Moon Imperial Academy. That way, our Sun Moon Empire will certainly gain even more talents."

"I agree completely, Grandpa. Meng's idea makes perfect sense. If he can truly train many outstanding warriors to become far stronger even without adding Soul Rings to their Martial Souls, then we can equip those people with Soul Tools and have them help us fight the three great Douluo empires."

"I understand. I will certainly give Mr. Morax a teaching position. I simply have a few private questions that I wish to ask Mr. Morax."

"Alright."

Master Hongchen has probably noticed something. Although I have not cultivated my Martial Soul or Soul Power, my cultivation is that of a First-Class God. I am not even afraid of a God King, so naturally I do not fear him. Still, he must have figured something out. If his attitude turns unfavorable toward me, then I will have no way to develop my influence in the Sun Moon Empire.

After Meng Hongchen saw those words written in the diary, she began to worry as well. She hoped her grandfather would not take the wrong path. Morax was an important person who could help the Sun Moon Empire soar.

Then, under the gazes of the two girls, Jing Hongchen and Morax entered a room—or rather, a reception room. However, it was a specially designed room.

The room was fitted with many Soul Tools. If anyone tried to harm Jing Hongchen inside it, no one could do anything to him unless they were a god!

"Mr. Morax, let me make this clear. You are probably a Peerless Douluo—or rather, an Ultimate Douluo, aren't you?"

"Your cultivation should be around Rank 99. I cannot be wrong. With your strength, it is impossible to instantly defeat them without using any Soul Skills or Soul Power, relying purely on technique. You are an Ultimate Douluo, correct?"

"???"

Morax was speechless when he heard that. He had thought Jing Hongchen had noticed some real issue, but it turned out that he thought Morax was an Ultimate Douluo???

Brother, that insult was way too vicious!
