Jing Hongchen: A Big Shot!

"Impressive!"

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

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 traveler who was not even a Soul Master and had never added Soul Rings to his Martial Soul.

He watched Morax take them down with a small knife. He moved so quickly that Jing Hongchen could not see clearly at all, and his martial arts were incredibly formidable! His technique was exceptionally refined!

He had not even used the power of his Martial Soul. He had defeated these teachers purely through martial arts. They were Soul Saints and Soul Douluos. Though they were not Title Douluos, they were already extremely powerful.

If these teachers had joined forces, they would have possessed combat power not inferior to that of a Title Douluo. Yet even so, Morax had effortlessly defeated them in an instant, overwhelming them at astonishing speed.

And Morax had only been holding a small knife.

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

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

Although the Sun Moon Empire primarily focused on Soul Tools,

Martial Souls were still extremely important. To create Soul Tools, one at least needed to possess a Martial Soul.

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

Yet Soul Saints and Soul Douluos, who had grown to such a level and possessed strength at least comparable to a Title Douluo, had been instantly defeated by Morax.

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

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

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

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

But what truly shocked him was that Morax had clearly never cultivated Soul Power or raised his Soul Power Level, nor had he added Soul Rings to his Martial Soul, yet he could effortlessly defeat veteran Soul Saints and Soul Douluos. His combat power was already at the level of a Title Douluo, but this was like an ant defeating a draconic beast!

And not just any draconic beast, but the ruler of its species!

It was like the Purple Radiance Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon being instantly killed by an ant Martial Soul with no power at all.

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 could not understand why someone who had apparently never cultivated Soul Power, whose Soul Power Level was practically nonexistent, could effortlessly defeat Soul Saints and Soul Douluos. There was simply no other way to explain it.

"Master Hongchen, may I now take up a teaching position at this academy?"

Morax guessed that the other man was thinking over many things. As Meng Hongchen's grandfather, someone who had risen to such a high position must surely possess exceptional qualities and wisdom.

Morax could also understand why the man doubted him. He had clearly not cultivated Soul Power, had not added Soul Rings to his Martial Soul, yet was so powerful. The man was bound to have his suspicions.

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

"Certainly."

He must have 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.

"Grandfather, Morax is so powerful. He clearly has not added Soul Rings to his Martial Soul, yet he is this strong, and he even defeated a combination of Soul Douluos and Soul Saints. They could already 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 surely gain even more talents."

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

"I understand. I will definitely give Mr. Morax a teaching position. I merely have some personal questions I wish to ask Mr. Morax."

"Certainly."

Master Hongchen must have noticed something. Although I have not cultivated a 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 have no reason to fear him. Still, he must have seen something. If his views turn unfavorable toward me, then I will have no way to develop my influence in the Sun Moon Empire.

After Meng Hongchen saw this written in the diary, she began to worry as well. She hoped that her grandfather would not choose the wrong path. Morax was someone who could help the Sun Moon Empire soar to great heights.

Then, under the gaze of the two women, Jing Hongchen and Morax entered a room—or rather, a reception room. However, this room had been specially designed.

The room was filled with Soul Tools. If anyone tried to harm Jing Hongchen in this room, no one could do anything to him—unless they were a god!

"Mr. Morax, let me make something 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 would be impossible to instantly defeat them without using any Soul Skills or Soul Power, relying solely on technique. You are an Ultimate Douluo, right?"

"???"

Morax was speechless upon hearing this. He had thought Jing Hongchen had discovered something, but it turned out the man believed he was an Ultimate Douluo???

Brother, that insult was way too filthy!
