Top 10 Beauties of The Unrivaled Tang Sect: Meng Hongchen, Genius of the Sun Moon Empire

[Hey! The Sky Screen changed again!]

[Huo Yuhao's ranking has concluded.]

[New series begins: Top 10 Beauties of The Unrivaled Tang Sect.]

[Top 10: Meng Hongchen.]

The playground from ten thousand years ago instantly erupted.

[A beauty ranking? Hahaha, I like this!]

[At least it isn't all that fighting and killing anymore!]

[Look, look! Who's in tenth place?!]

The students howled excitedly. The fright Huo Yuhao's Million-Year Soul Ring had given them finally began to fade.

The male students' eyes lit up, while the female students pursed their lips, their faces full of indignation.

Tang San's face turned livid as he turned to leave. Xiao Wu grabbed his wrist and asked softly, [Brother, where are you going?]

[Back.]

[There's no need to watch something this boring.]

A fire was burning in his chest. The Sky Screen had run so many rankings: his daughter Tang Wutong was second, while Huo Yuhao, who knew where he had come from, was first. And now there was some beauty ranking too. It was simply an insult to his daughter.

Wutong was a goddess. How could she be mentioned in the same breath as those common, mundane women?

Xiao Wu bit her lip and did not dare persuade him further. She had known Tang San for years and knew exactly what that expression meant. It was best not to provoke him now.

In the Sun Moon Empire ten thousand years later, Mingde Hall.

Jing Hongchen remained pressed against the window, his chubby palm braced against the frame hard enough to leave a dent in the wood.

[Top ten beauties? Meng Hongchen?]

He abruptly turned around and roared at the group of Soul Engineers behind him, [Investigate! Investigate immediately! Is there anyone in the Sun Moon Empire named Meng Hongchen?!]

A young Soul Engineer timidly raised his hand. [Hall Master, isn't your granddaughter named Meng Hongchen?]

Jing Hongchen froze.

His granddaughter? That little girl who followed Xiao Hongchen around all day and clamored about becoming a Soul Engineer?

[Impossible.] Jing Hongchen shook his head. [She's only eight. How could she possibly make the list?]

Before he had finished speaking, more words appeared on the Sky Screen.

[Age: Fifteen.]

[Martial Soul: Vermilion Clear Ice Toad.]

[Cultivation: Five-Ring Soul King.]

[Identity: Chief of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Xiao Hongchen's younger sister.]

[Traits: Gorgeous and crafty, exceptionally talented, appeared in the Soul Tool Tournament, strikingly beautiful.]

Jing Hongchen's hand trembled.

Fifteen years old, Xiao Hongchen's younger sister. None of that matched up. His granddaughter was only eight, and Xiao Hongchen was merely ten. But that name, that Vermilion Clear Ice Toad Martial Soul—

[It's Meng Hongchen!] Jing Hongchen slammed his palm onto the table. [Meng Hongchen seven years from now!]

A feverish flush rose to his face, and his chubby body began to shake. The Sky Screen had not only ranked that monster Huo Yuhao—it had ranked his granddaughter too!

A fifteen-year-old Five-Ring Soul King. Such talent was more than enough to be called the pride of the Sun Moon Empire!

[Pass down the order!] Jing Hongchen's voice trembled. [From today onward, double all of Meng Hongchen's cultivation resources! No, triple them! Make sure she grows according to the path shown by the Sky Screen!]

Shrek Academy, Sea God Pavilion.

Mu En narrowed his eyes as he watched the words on the Sky Screen.

[Someone from the Sun Moon Empire?]

Yan Shaozhe frowned. [I've heard of Xiao Hongchen. Jing Hongchen's grandson, exceptionally gifted. I didn't expect him to have a younger sister.]

[Making the top ten beauty ranking takes more than a pretty face.] Xuan Zi gnawed on a chicken leg and spoke indistinctly. [This girl must have some real ability.]

Mu En said nothing, merely staring at the Sky Screen. In recent years, the Sun Moon Empire had been secretly developing Soul Tools, already posing a threat to the three great empires. Now another talented young girl had emerged. The situation was becoming increasingly troubling.

The image on the Sky Screen began to shift.

A pinkish-purple glow spread out, revealing a majestic structure. It was the arena of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. The stands were packed with people, all of them looking toward the central stage.

A young girl stood on the stage.

She looked fifteen or sixteen, with long pinkish-purple hair tied into a high ponytail, revealing an exquisitely beautiful face. Her eyes were large, with pale purple pupils and slightly upturned corners that carried a crafty, seductive charm. Her figure was curvaceous, and the Sun Moon Empire's custom Soul Engineer combat uniform outlined her astonishing curves.

The girl smiled as she played with a metal sphere in her hand, her eyes curving into crescents.

[Sorry for the wait, everyone.]

Her voice was sweet, almost cloyingly so, but the pride in it could not be concealed.

Three Shrek Academy students stood on the opposite side of the stage, their expressions rather unpleasant.

On the playground ten thousand years ago, all the male students collectively sucked in a breath.

[Sh-she's way too beautiful!]

[Oh my god, I'm in love!]

[Since when did the Sun Moon Empire have a beauty like this?!]

The female students rolled their eyes and snorted disdainfully, though flashes of jealousy glinted in their eyes. Those who considered themselves beautiful looked especially grim.

Ning Rongrong lifted her chin. [She's nothing special.]

Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, only staring at the girl's eyes on the Sky Screen. Calculation hid within those eyes, along with ambition—and something Zhu Zhuqing could not see through.

In a Shrek Academy dormitory ten thousand years later.

Wang Dong stared fixedly at the Sky Screen, her face growing darker and darker.

[This is the Sun Moon Empire's genius?]

Huo Yuhao secretly glanced at her but did not dare say a word. He noticed that Wang Dong's fists were clenched so tightly that her knuckles had turned white.

[What's the point of being pretty?] Wang Dong gritted her teeth. [She's still an accomplice to those evil Soul Masters from the Sun Moon Empire!]

The scene on the Sky Screen continued.

Meng Hongchen tossed the metal sphere in her hand into the air. It exploded midair, transforming into more than a dozen streaks of light that shot toward the Shrek students opposite her.

[Watch out!]

The Shrek students hurriedly dodged, but those streaks of light seemed to have eyes, curving around as they pursued them. One student failed to evade in time and was struck in the chest, sent flying before crashing hard into the edge of the stage.

[One.]

Meng Hongchen smiled even more brightly, her eyes narrowing into crescent slits. She raised her right hand, and five Soul Rings rose from beneath her feet—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black.

A Five-Ring Soul King!

And her final Soul Ring was a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!

The playground from ten thousand years ago erupted again.

[A fifteen-year-old Soul King?!]

[And she has a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring?!]

[That's impossible!]

The students were dumbfounded. Huo Yuhao's Million-Year Soul Ring had already been shocking enough, and now there was a fifteen-year-old Soul King. What kind of world was this ten thousand years in the future?

Tang San stopped and turned back toward the Sky Screen. His expression was complicated, filled with both jealousy and wariness.

The Sun Moon Empire had more and more geniuses. This was yet another variable in his plans to control the God Realm in the future.

The image on the Sky Screen sped up.

Meng Hongchen defeated the Shrek students opposite her in three moves, winning cleanly and decisively. She stood in the center of the stage, waving toward the stands with a flamboyant, smug smile.

[Thanks for letting me win, everyone from Shrek.]

Her tone was full of mockery, with no attempt to hide her disdain for Shrek.

Thunderous cheers erupted from the stands. The Sun Moon Empire students applauded wildly, as though they wished they could clap their palms swollen. The Shrek side, meanwhile, was deathly silent, every face ashen.

The image froze on Meng Hongchen's smiling face.

That excessively exquisite face, those crafty purple eyes, and that air of pride were all frozen upon the Sky Screen for everyone to see clearly.

Words appeared on the Sky Screen once more.

[Meng Hongchen: Chief of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.]

[Talent: SS-rank.]

[Soul Tool talent: SSS-rank.]

[Evaluation: Beauty and wisdom coexist, pride and ambition stand together. The pride of the Sun Moon Empire, Shrek's nightmare.]

Wang Dong suddenly rose to her feet, her chest heaving violently.

[Shrek's nightmare? What gives her the right?!]

Huo Yuhao tugged at her sleeve. [Don't get worked up. That's just the Sky Screen's evaluation—]

[I don't care!] Wang Dong shook off his hand, her eyes reddening. [Are all the people from the Sun Moon Empire this arrogant?!]
