Xu Zhengyang didn't waste any words after hearing this. "I've already planned to go to the Practical Control Department. You didn't come to me just for this, did you? I'm not in a good state to communicate right now."
Xiao Hongchen shook his head. "Of course not. There are two things I need to tell you. One is that my grandfather asked me to inform you that the three of us will report to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy Team together when school starts next month."
Xu Zhengyang looked puzzled. "We're not even in our second year yet, and we're already reporting to the team? Shouldn't these teams have a selection process? How come it's so fast?"
Xiao Hongchen looked helpless. "What's this about selection? This time we're just going to be substitutes for the team to increase our combat experience. The real battlefield is the next Soul Master Tournament. The main players in the team have already been decided, and they are generally Soul King level. Grandpa is letting you go because you are the strongest in this year's competition. Even if your Soul Power is a little slower in the next Soul Master Tournament, your combat power will not decline."
"And barring any unforeseen circumstances, you and I should be the contenders for captain in the next Soul Master Tournament. I definitely want to have another match with you then."
Xu Zhengyang seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that Jing Hongchen had made arrangements long ago, starting preparations for the next Soul Master Tournament so early?
However, judging from Xiao Hongchen's appearance, he still wants to perform well in this Soul Master Tournament. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to reach the Soul King realm Soul Master Tournament. No wonder this kid has become arrogant again recently.
"Is there anything else? If not, go cultivate on your own and don't bother me."
Xiao Hongchen was speechless for a moment. "I wouldn't want to find you, it's just that I'm about to have a month off and wanted to spar with you more."
"And I think your steam training method looks pretty good. Maybe you could design one for me sometime. I'll even send you some nice stuff later."
Xu Zhengyang was speechless for a moment, but then he suddenly remembered something. "By the way, I heard that there's a lava field in the Illustrious Virtue Hall with extremely high temperatures. You should have a way to get in, right?"
Xiao Hongchen's expression changed. " Xu Zhengyang, are you out of your mind? That lava fire is only usable by Level 7 Soul Engineer. It's not inside the Illustrious Virtue Hall, but in the mountains 300 kilometers west of Mingdu. It's a top secret of our Illustrious Virtue Hall. Only the production of Soul Tool of level seven and above requires such a high temperature. Even core disciples don't get access to it. Don't think that just because you've received some attention, you can get your hands on something like that."
Xu Zhengyang didn't waste any words. "You came to see me, surely it wasn't about the issue of different departments, was it? Just tell me what your needs are."
Xiao Hongchen fell silent upon hearing this, then turned to look at Meng Hongchen beside him.
Meng Hongchen said, " Xu Zhengyang, I remember you once said that we Poison Soul Master can harm both ourselves and others, not only poisoning others but also poisoning ourselves."
Xu Zhengyang nodded. "That's true. Whether from the information in ancient books or from my experience on the continent, the poison Soul Master I've seen are all pretty much the same. Their physical condition is always very bad, especially those who are severely poisoned. Their eyes and hair will gradually change color, and it's even difficult for them to cultivate to the level of advanced Soul Master, because most of them poison themselves to death."
Xiao Hongchen pursed his lips. "I know your knowledge of Martial Soul cultivation far surpasses that of ordinary people. If that's the case, you must have a way to cure the Martial Soul poison, otherwise you wouldn't have said that in the first place."
Xu Zhengyang did not answer Meng Hongchen's question, "I need to use the lava fire, and I need to do it alone. No one can get close, and no one can monitor me. If you can do that, I have a way to cure the poison of the Martial Soul."
Meng Hongchen stamped her foot. "You're despicable! You actually dare to threaten me with something like this! You're from the Xu Clan, can't you use the school's methods to get there?"
Xu Zhengyang shook his head. "I'm just a collateral branch of the Xu Clan, not that important. I've only heard of the Lava Fire once; I just need to borrow it for a special reason."
Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth, looking somewhat unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.
"Okay, I can find a way to take you to use the Lava Fire once, but you can't cause any damage, and you have to make sure you can cure Xiao Meng's Martial Soul Poison."
Xu Zhengyang nodded. "No problem, I'm just borrowing it. I'm a member of the Xu Clan, so naturally I won't cause any trouble."
"As for the poison of Meng Hongchen 'Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad Martial Soul, didn't I already deal with most of it for you? The effects of the poison on your body should be much less now."
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were taken aback. Xiao Hongchen quickly understood. " Xu Zhengyang, you mean that exercising with all your might every day can alleviate the effects of the Martial Soul Poison?"
Xu Zhengyang nodded. "That's right. Whether it's the poison of the Martial Soul or some other side effects of the Martial Soul, it all comes down to the body's insufficient tolerance. As long as your body is strong enough, your resistance will increase, and the corrosive effect of the toxins on your body will decrease."
"If you don't believe me, ask Meng Hongchen. Has her pain and discomfort lessened this past year, or has she even felt more comfortable overall?"
Xiao Hongchen quickly looked at Meng Hongchen beside him. Meng Hongchen carefully reviewed the situation after a year of training and found that the toxicity's corrosive effect on the body had indeed been reduced.
" Xu Zhengyang, you said this is only half done, so what's the other half?"
Xu Zhengyang didn't hesitate. "It's actually very simple. You can ask your grandfather to help Meng Hongchen find a top-grade Soul Bone, preferably a power-type Soul Bone or a poison-attribute Soul Bone that is over ten thousand years old. This way, the toxins in the body can be integrated into the Soul Bone, which can also reduce the damage to the body. If you want to completely solve the problem, it's best to find the legendary Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flower, preferably Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flower that is ten thousand years old."
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen exchanged a glance, seemingly both pondering the solution Xu Zhengyang had suggested. This method of using a top-tier Soul Bone Soul Bone to force the poison into it did indeed seem quite good.
As for using the Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flower as Soul Ring, this method has indeed been circulating in the Soul Master World, but the Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flower is too poisonous and extremely rare in the Soul Beast forest, and no one has found it for a long time.
Xu Zhengyang didn't care about all that. "You two, that's enough, isn't it? Do you want to continue chatting with me in this state? Remember what you promised me."
After expressing their gratitude, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen left Xu Zhengyang's dormitory.
The medicinal bath was almost over. Xu Zhengyang opened the lid of the tub and jumped out. His whole body was flushed, but he felt incredibly refreshed.
Just then, the dormitory door was suddenly opened again, and Meng Hongchen barged in; they hadn't locked the door when they left.
At this moment, Xu Zhengyang was only wearing a pair of shorts, his upper body was bare, and his muscles all over his body looked extremely strong. However, his body was also covered with dense wounds, all of which were left over from his training in the Soul Beast Forest.
Meng Hongchen let out a scream, seemingly shocked by the numerous wounds covering Xu Zhengyang's body.
Xu Zhengyang's face also darkened. He was a grown man in his own dormitory, and a girl had seen most of his naked body.
Upon hearing his sister's scream, Xiao Hongchen rushed into the dormitory as well. He was equally shocked by Xu Zhengyang 'Xu Zhengyang muscles and the numerous wounds covering his body.
Xu Zhengyang roared, "You two bastards, have you seen enough? If you have, get out!"
