Since the Holy Spirit Cult has chosen to fight the Clear Sky Sect to the death, Qian Chen decided to let them continue fighting and temporarily let Yan Shaozhe go, allowing him to enjoy the bliss of having multiple wives. This could also be considered compensation for taking away his position Sea God Pavilion Master in the future.
Now that he's no longer worried about Huo Yuhao, Qian Chen Qian Chen focuses all his energy on improving himself. Today, he's trying to create another Level 8 Soul Tool.
Just as Qian Chen was concentrating on carving the Soul Tool Core Array, a single, slight strike shattered the Core Array, rendering it useless.
"How could this be? How could this happen?" Qian Chen asked himself. Then, he began to search for the problem in his mind with great distress. This was already his dozens of attempts to break through to the Level 8 Soul Engineer standard in the Douluo Three Kingdoms.
The standards for Soul Engineer in Douluo Three Kingdoms are not high. As long as you can make Soul Tool of the corresponding level, regardless of whether it is simple or difficult, or whether it is perfect or not, as long as you can make it, you are considered Soul Engineer of the corresponding level.
Qian Chen looked at the ruined Soul Tool Core Array before him and couldn't help but sigh. Did he really have to go to the Sun Moon Empire to study if he wanted to break through to the advanced Soul Engineer?
At the Shrek Academy, there was no one to teach him, no sufficient materials, and no experience to refer to and learn from. Otherwise, it would definitely take him several years or even decades to reach the level of Level 9 Soul Engineer in the Sun Moon Empire. For this reason, Qian Chen was truly hesitant.
Time passed, and before they knew it, more than a month had gone by. A very high-class soul-guided carriage arrived in Shrek City. This soul-guided carriage was not pulled by horses, but rather powered by an advanced Soul Tool that consumed Soul Power.
Upon seeing the luxurious, high-end, and technologically advanced Soul Guidance Carriage, the residents of Shrek City quickly made way for it, fearing they might be hit by it.
Soon, the soul-guided carriage arrived at the gate of the Shrek Academy. The guards of the Shrek Academy hurriedly stepped forward, stopped the carriage, and asked the people inside, "May I ask who you are, distinguished guest? Who are you looking for at the Shrek Academy? What brings you here?"
The curtain of the soul-guided carriage was slowly drawn open by the mechanical action, revealing an elderly man with white hair but a vigorous spirit, and an extremely beautiful red-haired girl, whose face was pale, as if she were terminally ill.
The white-haired old man said, "I am Jing Hongchen, the Dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, here to pay my respects to the Shrek Academy. I don't have anyone in particular to see, so please announce my arrival first."
Just as the Shrek Academy guards were about to return to report, the pale-faced girl said, "Grandpa, Teacher Feng Luan also wants us to pay our respects to her brother, Qian Chen, the Dean of the Martial Soul Department at the Shrek Academy."
Jing Hongchen affectionately ruffled the girl's hair, his eyes filled with tenderness, and immediately said, "Yes, I've come to visit the Dean of the Shrek Academy, and also to visit Qian Chen, the Dean of the Martial Soul Department at the Shrek Academy."
"Yes, please wait a moment," the Shrek guard said, and immediately sent someone to report. The message quickly reached Sea God Island.
Upon hearing the news, Yan Shaozhe was taken aback. He muttered to himself, "Could it be that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy won the competition and came to mock our Shrek Academy?"
Although Yan Shaozhe's voice was low, Cai Mei'er beside him still heard it. She hurriedly advised, " Yan Shaozhe, I think you're wrong. Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is a famous Soul Master Academy on the continent. They wouldn't do such a thing. We should meet them."
Yan Shaozhe said, "Since that's the case, let's meet them. However, now that Mu En has passed away and Xuan Zi is in seclusion, Shrek Academy absolutely cannot lower its standards. Since they still want to see Qian Chen, then the five of us, along with Lexuan, will go together and properly suppress Jing Hongchen's aura."
Cai Mei'er thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
Then Yan Shaozhe immediately sent people to invite Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er, as well as Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan. He also notified the Shrek guards to invite Jing Hongchen to the Sea God Pavilion.
Soon, Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er, Qian Chen, and Zhang Lexuan arrived at the Sea God Pavilion. Qian Duoduo was making an Level 8 Soul Tool when he was suddenly interrupted, which annoyed him. He immediately shouted, " Old Yan, why are you in such a hurry? What do you want with us? Let me tell you, it's nothing serious, I'm getting angry with you."
Seeing Qian Duoduo's reaction, Yan Shaozhe immediately had an idea and said, "How about I let you meet your idols, Level 9 Soul Engineer?"
"Who? Level 9 Soul Engineer? Old Yan, don't try to fool me. You know what will happen." Qian Duoduo immediately threatened.
"You'll see when you see it," Yan Shaozhe could only reply casually.
Soon after, an elderly man with white hair helped a pale-faced girl into the Sea God Pavilion. The two were none other than Jing Hongchen, the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, and his granddaughter Meng Hongchen.
Seeing an elderly man with a sickly-looking young girl, the kind-hearted Zhang Lexuan immediately stepped forward, pushed out a chair, and said, "Sir, please let this young lady sit down."
Jing Hongchen nodded to Zhang Lexuan and said kindly, "Thank you."
Then Jing Hongchen addressed the others, saying, " Jing Hongchen, Dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, has come to pay a visit to the Shrek Academy today."
Out of courtesy, Yan Shaozhe also stood up and said, " Yan Shaozhe, the Pavilion Master of Shrek Sea God Pavilion Master, and the Deans and Vice Deans of the Shrek Academy's Outer Court welcome Dean Jing Hongchen."
After exchanging a long string of polite words, Jing Hongchen finally got to the point. He immediately introduced, "Everyone, this is my granddaughter Meng Hongchen. She was injured by Wang Qiu'er from the Shrek Academy during this year's Soul Master Tournament."
Yan Shaozhe immediately assumed the other party was there for revenge and said, " The Soul Master Tournament based on individual skill, and injuries to team members are inevitable. If Dean Jing Hongchen, you are here for revenge, or have a similar purpose, then I'm sorry, Shrek Academy cannot agree to your request."
Jing Hongchen smiled and said, "Seeking revenge after the competition? My family, the Hongchen family, would never do such a thing. Pavilion Master Yan, please rest assured."
"I wonder what business Dean Jing Hongchen has?" Cai Mei'er asked hastily, lest the conversation drift further away.
"My granddaughter was seriously injured. Although it wasn't a fatal wound, she was pierced through the chest by Wang Qiu'er's spear, causing massive internal bleeding. The healing Soul Master treated my granddaughter didn't handle it properly, resulting in a lot of blood stasis between her organs. This is why her blood and qi are not flowing smoothly, and she is like this now." Jing Hongchen immediately explained Meng Hongchen's situation.
"What does Dean Jing Hongchen hope Shrek Academy will do?" Cai Mei'er asked immediately.
" Shrek Academy has been a sacred place for Soul Master for thousands of years, not only boasting numerous experts but also possessing unparalleled expertise in Soul Master cultivation. I would like to request Shrek Academy's strongest healing-type Soul Master to save my granddaughter."
Upon hearing Jing Hongchen's words, Cai Mei'er immediately replied, "Healing the sick and saving lives is also a good deed, and Shrek Academy is naturally happy to do it."
Then Cai Mei'er immediately called out to the servant at the door, "Quickly, go and invite Elder Zhuang here."
The attendant immediately obeyed and left. Soon after, Elder Zhuang was invited into the Sea God Pavilion. Cai Mei'er immediately explained the situation to Elder Zhuang.
Upon hearing this, Elder Zhuang frowned and said, "These are blood clots and impurities left over from severe internal bleeding. Healing Soul Skill can only treat the injuries; they cannot remove these blood clots and impurities."
