Chapter 121: Laughing at the Red Dust (Please Subscribe!!!)
Looking at his sister's gloating expression, Xiao Hongchen's face turned dark.
"Are you so happy that my record was broken?"
"Of course, who told you to keep saying you are better than me?" Meng Hongchen stuck out his tongue and nodded slightly.
The brother and sister actually have similar talents, but Xiao Hongchen attaches more importance to this point. He says every day that he has not spent as much time as Meng Hongchen studying soul guides, but the progress is similar. In comparison, he has higher talent.
Meng Hongchen didn't compete with him, and the external soul guide records were always broken by Xiao Hongchen.
"Stop gloating and first tell me who that person is and what the situation is."
"Well, his name seems to be Su Ming, and he just started school today. He is the grandson of Researcher Su who joined Mingde Hall some time ago."
Researcher Su?
Laugh at the world and understand it clearly.
Su Can.
The Soul Douluo who is striving to become a ninth-level Soul Master.
The correspondence between the levels of soul masters and soul guides in the Sun-Moon Empire is still very strict. Starting from the fifth-level soul guide, it is rare to make a soul guide device of a higher level. Generally, a fifth-ring soul guide can make a sixth-level soul guide device, not to mention an eighth-ring soul guide can make a ninth-level soul guide device.
So Su Can announced that he would strive to become a ninth-level soul mentor and submitted an application to Mingde Hall. When he applied for various supports, it caused quite a stir in Mingde Hall.
The key is that the head of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen, personally reviewed and approved his application!
"What else?"
Xiao Hongchen learned about Su Ming's origins and became even more curious about Su Ming's specific situation.
"He is eleven and a half years old this year. During the assessment, he created three fourth-level soul guides on the spot. He did it continuously without any rest, and the soul guides he created are all top-notch."
"Where's the martial soul?"
"Martial Soul seems to be called soul power."
"Soul power?"
"Yes, it is soul power. Although it is difficult to understand, it is soul power that he registered."
Xiao Hongchen showed a puzzled look.
"Is this the hidden file?"
"No, I was right in front of Grandpa at the time. The file he hid behind was the Star Tree, and his true martial spirit was soul power."
Xiao Hongchen sneered.
"Oh, you went to ask grandpa for special treatment again."
When Meng Hongchen heard Xiao Hongchen say this to him, his eyes widened and he put his hands on his hips.
"Who told you not to go? It's not like Grandpa won't tell you."
"Excellent soul guides must rely on their own research to come up with new things."
Xiao Hongchen shook his head, turned his body sideways, looked up at the sky, like a hermit.
Of course, at this moment, his eye sockets were sunken, his dark circles were severe, his eyes were bloodshot, his body seemed to be slightly weak, his hair was messy like a chicken coop, and he looked nothing like what he should be.
"Then may I ask our outstanding number one genius, oh no, maybe the former number one genius, what new things have you researched?"
"All the core magic arrays of my soul guide cannon were put together by myself!" Xiao Hongchen said confidently.
"Then may I ask if I can make a soul cannon with the same power as yours?"
"That's not the way it works!"
Xiao Hongchen's face flushed red.
"The advancement of soul guides requires innovation, new combinations, new formations, and the extraction of more resources from the unknown world. I am still in the accumulation stage and adapting to innovation."
"Then you slowly adapt."
Meng Hongchen yawned. She had heard such words too many times.
Of course she could understand what Xiao Hongchen meant, but she didn't have that intention.
Being strong is enough.
This is also the reason why she did not really compete with Xiao Hongchen for the title of the number one genius, because she pays more attention to practicality.
"So you want to go and meet Su Ming?" Meng Hongchen asked.
"No."
Xiao Hongchen shook his head decisively.
"Why?"
"Once he joins the team, he will naturally have a chance."
Xiao Hongchen sneered in his heart.
Oh, what's the point of going to Su Ming now? To challenge him?
That would make me, the number one soul master, lose face.
Bang!
Xiao Hongchen pushed Meng Hongchen out of his laboratory and slammed the door shut.
Then he found a mirror.
"How could I be so haggard?"
Xiao Hongchen looked at himself in the mirror in shock.
Although he had a shocked expression, there was a sense of pride in his eyes.
He was indeed too involved.
Jing Hongchen told him that he spent his time in research unknowingly, and when he looked back, he found himself so haggard because of his love for soul guides. But when he knew this and still insisted on doing so, the nature of his love changed.
Xiao Hongchen didn't understand the second half of the sentence, but he understood the first half.
"Hehe, I am that kind of person, a natural genius in soul guides!"
Obviously, he equated the love for soul guides with soul guide genius.
Maybe he didn't have the experience of loving but not being able to learn.
"Well, I'm so haggard that I can't continue my research. I can rest for a while."
Xiao Hongchen went through the process and temporarily interrupted the project he had been researching for some time. After organizing and saving the information, he began to take care of his health and stuffed a black pill into his mouth.
"Yue——"
Su Ming was assigned a single dormitory, which was very luxurious. It had a training room and a room for researching and making soul guides. After getting to know the dormitory's configuration, seeing that it was getting late, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.
"After absorbing the spirit ring of the Ten Thousand Year Silver Moon Wolf King, my spirit power has increased quite a bit."
Su Ming's breakthrough came half a year after the reform of the Blacksmith Association, and it took him more than ten months to obtain the spirit ring. With the spirit power accumulated during this period and the ten thousand year spirit ring, he directly reached level thirty-seven.
"It's a bit fierce. I'm getting closer to condensing the second soul core." Su Ming had a headache.
He estimated that he would need to seriously study the technique of condensing the second soul core for at least the next two years. Fortunately, there was sufficient knowledge in this area in Douluo Dalu. What he had to consider was how to obtain this knowledge.
A night passed.
When Su Ming opened his eyes, he received a notice from the Dean of Studies, asking him to go to the Dean's office.
"If I remember correctly, the dean is Jing Hongchen, right?"
Although he knew he would be noticed, he still didn't expect to be called in for a talk so soon.
What he didn't know was that he was noticed yesterday when he had just tested the production of his second fourth-level soul guide.
Dean's Office.
When Su Ming arrived, the office door was open, and a middle-aged fat man with a dignified face was sitting inside.
Although he is Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's grandfather, Jing Hongchen does not look very old. Instead, he exudes an inexplicable majesty.
When he saw Su Ming, Jing Hongchen's eyes lit up.
"Su Ming, right? He really looks like your grandfather. Come on, come on, sit down."
After Su Ming sat down, he smiled and said, "Your grandfather mentioned you to me before, saying that you would come to our academy. How is it going? What was your impression of the academy on your first day yesterday?"
"Dean, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
"Then I'll just say it directly. What do you think of me?"
Su Ming: ???
"I mean, do you want to take me as your master?"
"I refuse."
