Chapter 233 I laugh at the world and want to be strong all my life!
Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Mingde Hall.

After listening to the exchange student’s summary, Jing Hongchen and his sister Xiao Hongchen rushed to the laboratory where Arthas was.

On the way, I mentioned to the brother and sister some additional information about my own Alsatian personality and personal preferences. As for the rest, I had already talked about it at home last night.

After hearing this, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, what you mean is that in the past two and a half years, this guy has basically been in the laboratory all day long?"

Jing Hongchen nodded slightly. "Arthas's obsession with soul guides is just like his talent, both of which are rare in the world. Perhaps because of this, he can become a seventh-level soul guide with the cultivation of a soul king. Grandpa was able to successfully persuade him to stay because of his obsession. Of course, Arthas's talent for martial soul cultivation is also extremely high, and he is quite hardworking."

"Grandpa often saw the lights in his residence still on in the early hours of the morning."

"If I'm not mistaken, Arthas should be very close to breaking through level 60."

In order to keep Arthas, the royal family has been sending special ingredients that can assist in cultivation to the academy every day for the past two years, and he has benefited from this.

Xiao Hongchen was a little unconvinced, because he was already a Soul Emperor, and he was less than 20 years old, while Arthas was already 23 years old. In terms of martial soul talent, he was obviously better. But in terms of soul guide research talent, he had to admit that he was quite impressive to become a seventh-level soul guide with the cultivation of a Soul King! At least he couldn't do it now, and seemed to be a little inferior.

"Hmph, to know who is more powerful, we still have to see it in actual combat!" The pride in his heart made him unwilling to accept it, and he wanted to have a competition.

"There is no such thing as luck in this world!" Meng Hongchen said with some emotion. She personally recognized Arthas' achievements.

Jing Hongchen smiled and continued, "Xiao Meng, the main reason why Grandpa brought you to see Arthas today is because of you."

"Grandpa, are you thinking of finding a son-in-law for your sister?" Xiao Hongchen blurted out in surprise.

"If you don't know how to speak, then don't speak!" Meng Hongchen glared at him fiercely, and Minghui's figure unconsciously appeared in her mind. During the exchange period at Shrek Academy, she, like her brother, had challenged Minghui many times, but the results were without exception, and they all lost.

Minghui's strength made her tremble every time she faced him, and it also left a deep impression on her.

Jing Hongchen just smiled and did not answer his grandson Xiao Hongchen's question, but said, "He can cure Xiao Meng's martial soul defect."

Meng Hongchen turned around in an instant and asked subconsciously, "Really?"

Xiao Hongchen also became serious. When they were having dinner last night, his grandfather mentioned that Arthas had cured Prince Xu Tianran's legs by replacing his limbs. With such amazing medical skills, he still believed that there was a way to cure his sister's martial soul defect.

"Anyway, that kid said he had a way, and he even blackmailed me, his grandfather, out of some money." Jing Hongchen said.

Fortunately, the person was saved, otherwise he would have been really sad. Arthas had indeed consumed a lot of materials in the past two years.

"Whether it works or not, you'll know after asking later." Xiao Hongchen said.

Meng Hongchen nodded slightly, said no more, and a look of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

Soon, the three of them arrived in front of Arthas's laboratory and rang the doorbell.

Arthas quickly opened the door.

"Arthas, I hope I didn't disturb you?" Jing Hongchen said with a smile.

"It's okay." Arthas' tone was as calm as ever.

Xiao Hongchen frowned slightly. He didn't like the tone of Arthas very much. After all, his grandfather was a senior.

Meng Hongchen smiled and greeted in a friendly manner, "Hello, I am Meng Hongchen, the granddaughter of Master Jingtang."

Xiao Hongchen then said calmly, "Xiao Hongchen."

Jing Hongchen glanced at his grandson helplessly and said, "Alsace, don't be surprised. My grandson has always been quite straightforward."

"That's fine." Arthas nodded slightly, then turned around and walked inside. "Come in and sit down."

Jing Hongchen turned around and glared at his grandson. In terms of seniority, he was indeed higher than Arthas. But in terms of status, Arthas was extremely high in the eyes of His Majesty and the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince, whose leg was healed, even promised to make Arthas a king of a different surname when he ascended to the throne in the future. In addition, Arthas himself was talented, and even though he was so arrogant, he never relied on his status to suppress others.

Besides, his granddaughter is still waiting for Alsace to treat her. Asking for help and still showing off, isn't this just looking for trouble?

It’s a pity that his grandson has been arrogant since he was young and has no emotional intelligence at all. He is helpless and has a headache!

Meng Hongchen was also helpless and glared at his brother with some anger.

Xiao Hongchen moved his lips, and without saying a word, followed Jing Hongchen into the laboratory.

With a quick glance, he saw several types of soul guides that he had never seen before. The most eye-catching were two sets of armor, one gold and one silver, hanging on a metal rack on the side of the experimental table. Judging from the surface material, it seemed that they were not made of metal, but the scales of some kind of scaly soul beast.

What kind of soul guide is this? Could it be that Arthas developed it himself? He couldn't help but wonder.

While Arthas was thinking, he had already strode to the experimental table. He seemed to have expected the three people to come. He picked up the thumb-sized metal cube beside him and handed it to Jing Hongchen who was walking in front of him. He said, "Master Jing, I can roughly guess the purpose of your visit. The method that can help my granddaughter solve the defect of her martial soul is inside. As for the rest, they are the results of my research in recent years."

Of course, this is just the part that is on the surface. If you want to really get access to Mingdetang’s core technology, you naturally need to pay something.

Jing Hongchen showed surprise on his face, smiled and took it, saying, "Thank you."

"Don't worry, Mingde Hall will not treat anyone who has made contributions unfairly. I will come and tell you about your reward later."

Arthas nodded slightly, and then said, "In that case, if there is nothing else, the hall master can go back."

"I still need to continue my research on soul guides, so I won't stay with you any longer."

"Okay." Jing Hongchen knew how obsessed Arthas was with soul guides, so he said kindly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hongchen suddenly said, "Arthas, I heard from my grandfather that you are very powerful and have extraordinary fighting ability. I wonder if you can fight with me. It can also be regarded as helping me, your junior, to test the results of my practice in the past two and a half years, and by the way, we can exchange ideas with each other."

Jing Hongchen did not say anything to stop him. To be honest, he also wanted to see his grandson's progress.

Meng Hongchen also said nothing. Unlike her grandfather, she was quite curious about Arthas's strength.

"Okay." Arthas nodded and said calmly, "Minghui mentioned you to me after the Soul Master Competition. He said that you are a rare talent in the application of soul guides. If you can find a path of your own, you will be a good opponent."

"Let me see today whether you are as Minghui said."

"Let's go to the experimental field."

Xiao Hongchen's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, his expression became serious, he cupped his hands and said, "Please!"

"Please!" Arthas said briefly and strode towards the laboratory door.

The group soon arrived at the underground experimental field of Mingde Hall. The field was hemispherical in shape with a diameter of 200 meters. It was originally used for the experiment of medium-sized soul guides and occasionally for soul guides to learn from each other. Looking around, there were quite a few people there, so Jing Hongchen immediately ordered to clear the field.

Xiao Hongchen didn't say anything more and walked straight into the field. Seeing this, Arthas followed closely.

"Xiao Hongchen? Is he going to challenge Arthas?" the soul masters nearby asked in surprise.

Arthas and the others knew that Mingdetang had been a notorious otaku in the past two years and never took the initiative to challenge other soul masters.

"Xiao Hongchen has been in Shrek Academy for two and a half years. I don't know how strong he is now. Can he beat Arthas?"

"You'll know once you see it!"

While everyone was discussing, the two walked to both sides of the experimental field and stood still.

At the same time, many soul engineers gathered around. Many soul engineers saw them on the way Jing Hongchen brought them in. Some speculated that Arthas had developed a new soul guide that the hall master took seriously, while others guessed that it was Xiao Hongchen who challenged him.

After all, many people have already witnessed Xiao Hongchen's arrogant temperament.

No matter which one it is, it's worth a look.

"If you're ready, you can start." Xiao Hongchen raised his chin slightly towards Arthas and spoke first.

"I'm here anytime." Arthas said calmly, and he took off his school uniform and put it into the soul guide, revealing the black tights he was wearing underneath. There was a ruby ​​inlaid on the chest, and there were also gems on both sides of the spine behind him, but they were in the shape of strips.

Jing Hongchen saw at a glance that these gems were storage soul guides, and immediately acted as a referee, saying loudly, "Then I will announce it now."

"The sparring begins!"

The next second, the rubies in front and behind Arthas lit up at the same time, and pieces of black scales with gold edges rapidly emerged and spread around with the ruby ​​on his chest as the center. At the same time, a row of conical metals emerged on his spine, and eight holes on both sides were followed by eight black-faced, gold-rimmed tentacles made of circles of diamond-shaped pipes. The tops were conical, like sharp spears.

Afterwards, the spear split into three spikes, with tiny holes of various colors appearing in the middle.

The mask covered the face, the gems on the wrists shone, and the black gloves with golden claws were covered on the ten fingers, which were extremely sharp.

"This looks like the claw of the soul beast Golden Wolf." A soul engineer figured out the origin of the golden claws on the boxing gloves.

The golden wolf can strengthen its claws by devouring metal. As a result, its claws have evolved into metal-like properties, making them an expensive material for soul guides.

"I was wondering why you asked me for the claws of the Ten Thousand Year Golden Wolf before." Jing Hongchen said.

Arthas is good at close combat, and using the tissues of soul beasts to create soul guides can greatly improve his own defense and close combat attack capabilities, including the eight tentacles at the back, which enhance the close combat ability while providing long-range attack capabilities. It is reported that the recent development direction of soul guides has always been to combine the characteristics of one's own martial soul and personal skills to check for omissions and improve personal combat power.

We are taking the path of pioneers.

While thinking, Xiao Hongchen had summoned more than a hundred spherical metal turrets, which were glowing and charging at the same time. However, because there were too many soul guide cannons to charge, it was difficult to complete them at once, so he activated the tough barrier of the defensive soul guide device as soon as possible.

"You want to win by numbers?" Arthas said calmly, "Too slow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eight tentacles dancing behind him fired lasers at the same time, compressed into golden lasers the size of chopsticks. As they crossed and swept across, they turned into a dense net and attacked at an incredibly fast speed.

Where it touched the ground, flames suddenly appeared.

At the same time, a deep groove was left on the ground, which looked like a hot red line from a distance.

"So fast!" Xiao Hongchen was shocked, not only because of the speed, but also because of the power, and quickly activated the level 6 invincible shield. The level 6 invincible shield can withstand even the regular attacks from ordinary Title Douluo for three seconds, and he has absolute confidence that he can block it.

"Sizzle, sizzle!" Red lines and obvious gaps instantly appeared on the surface of the invincible shield.

"How is this possible!?" Feeling the high temperature coming towards him, Xiao Hongchen's face changed drastically.

"Hey, Xiaoxiao is a little too confident." Jing Hongchen sighed, "A level 6 soul guide can indeed reach the attack power of an ordinary Titled Douluo, but level 6 is level 6. Why can't the attack power of other people's level 7 soul guides exceed this tolerance range?"

"Each section of the tentacles behind Arthas is engraved with a compression array. When stacked up layer by layer, the power is bound to be great."

"This is a soul guide device that can maximize attack power!" Meng Hongchen looked solemn.

Before he finished speaking, the red light reappeared and eight golden lines swept over again.

Xiao Hongchen immediately adjusted his direction, trying to use the invincible shield with a loophole to block for another second.

Then, the red line stopped abruptly when it swept to the middle of the invincible shield, and the sweep instantly turned into a focused volley.

Xiao Hongchen's face turned pale, and he subconsciously activated the teleportation ring used to save his life. A golden light flashed on his body, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye. Then, the hundreds of artillery positions that were still in place and had not yet been controlled and moved suffered the disaster and were swept away, causing a chain reaction.

"Boom boom boom" explosions occurred one after another in the air, setting off a fireworks display.

Arthas turned his gaze to Xiao Hongchen who had teleported to the other side. He did not pursue him anymore, but said calmly, "Let's end this competition here. You are far from being my opponent right now. Your martial spirit, the three-legged golden toad, has the ability to control metals, which is a very powerful talent. It's a pity that you only use it to control your soul guides and have not really realized your potential."

"Soul Guidance Devices are man-made tools, but you have made them your major and neglected your own development."

"You can't possibly defeat me like this."

"Not necessarily!" Xiao Hongchen, who had always been strong, shouted. It was fine to be defeated by Minghui, who had top-level twin martial spirits, but he refused to accept losing to Arthas, a healing spirit master! His face flushed, and his first four spirit rings lit up at the same time. In the blink of an eye, many metal spikes condensed around his body. This was the result of his study at Shrek Academy. His martial spirit was no longer limited to strengthening spirit guides.

With the help of his third soul skill, Gold Condensation, and his first soul skill, Metal Control, he developed offensive capabilities.

"Finally, it looks like something." Arthas raised his head slightly.

Then countless golden spikes came shooting out.

With this martial spirit ability that can easily create hidden weapons, it would be a pity if he didn't join the Tang Sect, Arthas sighed inwardly, but his words were still unforgiving.

"But just this is not enough."

As he spoke, the scales on his spine opened and closed, ejecting highly compressed air, and his body flew out like an arrow. When he was about to land, the four tentacles behind him touched the ground for cushioning, and then ejected again, thus achieving high-speed catapulting flight close to the ground.

As the golden thorns approached, the ruby ​​on Arthas' chest lit up again, and a layer of golden shield immediately wrapped around his body.

"Ding ding ding" the golden spikes collided, making a continuous sound of metal and stone colliding, but they were never able to break through the defense.

"Metal Condensation, a good ability, but you are only at the initial stage of development. Both the attack form and the attack power are still a bit lacking."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was already approaching Xiao Hongchen.

"Stop." Jing Hongchen suddenly said.
