Chapter 430: How does the Dragon Slaying Sect slay dragons?
No, you bastard, you even want my grandson?
If Xu Tianran hadn't been suspected of coveting his granddaughter, Jing Hongchen might have been happy to receive the regent's praise, but he just sighed and said, "For this competition, my grandchildren are indeed very persistent. To be honest with you, Your Highness, they took some special medicinal herbs to break through the threshold of level 70 in a short period of time and enter the realm of true high-level soul mentors. But in this way, they will be disturbed by the backlash of the drugs in the next few years, and it will be difficult for them to improve before the age of 25."
Jing Hongchen's words were half true and half false. Kong Deming was the only person who knew about it. It was true that he had taken drugs, but those were all natural treasures he had exchanged from Long Xiaoyao, with almost no side effects. He also had a full set of soul bones that fully matched the attributes of Hongchen's brothers and sisters' martial souls, a total of twelve pieces. These things almost emptied his family's wealth, not only for them to become famous in one battle, but more importantly, if the internal political situation of the empire suddenly changed, they could only protect themselves if they were strong enough.
With these rare treasures and soul bones, if the Hongchen family really comes to be liquidated by Xu Tianran, their chances of escape will increase a lot.
Xu Tianran said solemnly: "Their spirit is commendable. This is their contribution to the glory of the country. No matter what results the Sun and Moon Team achieves in the end, they are the pillars of the empire."
Then he changed the subject, "If the hall master does not mind, I would like to take Miss Meng as my concubine to reward her for her sacrifices and contributions to the empire." This was also the last chance he gave Jing Hongchen.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. It is an honor for the Hongchen family." Jing Hongchen kept a very humble attitude, so Xu Tianran did not notice that his blue eyes were already bloodshot.
If Zhongli Wu had not been by Xu Tianran's side, he would have wanted to blow up all the soul guides on his body and die together with Xu Tianran.
Long Xiaoyao was right, this damn eunuch really coveted Meng Hongchen!
Xu Tianran was very satisfied with Jing Hongchen's performance. He thought this old toad was sensible!
Kong Deming watched all this coldly. The emperor was not dead yet, but Xu Tianran ignored his ban and couldn't wait to establish a relationship with the Hongchen family. He even wanted to forcefully marry Jing Hongchen's only granddaughter.
There is no hope. If Xu Tianran's only reliance is the Holy Spirit Church, then it would be better for Xu He to be the emperor.
"Individual elimination match, first match, Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy wins!"
Just when Jing Hongchen almost couldn't help but beat Xu Tianran, the match had already been decided.
A layer of blue spread over the face of the young man from the Dragon Slayer Sect. Before his fifth soul ring could fully light up, he groaned and fell to the ground with his whole body shaking.
All the other members of the Dragon Slaying Sect in the battle zone stood up suddenly and looked at the scene in disbelief. They had no idea what was going on.
Just facing a Soul Sage was already very stressful, not to mention being eliminated before figuring out what soul skills the other party used. Meng Hongchen really shocked all the major sects and academies. He was only the vice-captain of the Sun and Moon Team. If the vice-captain was a Soul Sage, then the captain must be even stronger.
The other contestants felt the pressure doubled instantly when they thought of two Soul Saints in one team. The originally arrogant contestants from the sects also put away their contempt, after all, Meng Hongchen's cultivation was there, and they had almost no Soul Saints under the age of twenty.
In the corner of the rest area, in the Body Sect team that was also disguised as another sect, Princess Vina had a solemn look on her face. There was actually a Soul Sage in the Sun and Moon Team, and it was conservatively estimated that there should be two of them. Although the disciples of the Body Sect believed that they were no worse than anyone else, and her fiancé Long Aotian was also a Soul Sage, and she herself was a Soul Emperor with twin martial souls, the pressure that Meng Hongchen brought to them continued to increase.
The members of the Shrek Academy team had blank expressions on their faces, and seemed calm and composed, but only they themselves knew what they were really thinking. Soul Saint? Shrek Academy had never produced a Soul Saint under the age of 20 in its ten thousand years of existence, and now their biggest rival, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, had produced two Soul Saints! How was this possible?
"They must have used drugs, right?"
"Humph! You'll do anything to win!"
"..."
The discussion was heard in the rest area of Shrek Academy, and was echoed by many surrounding academies and sects.
"That must be the case. That girl will only shine briefly in this competition, and she will definitely be useless next time!"
"Dreaming of ascending to the top in one step? The way the Sun and Moon Empire eats is really ugly!"
"..."
Zhang Lexuan, Fanyu and Xiaoxiao did not participate in this condemnation. Xiaoxiao did not care about winning or losing, while Zhang Lexuan and Fanyu had seen more and thought further.
Do whatever it takes? Hasn't Shrek Academy been doing this for thousands of years? How come Shrek can do it, but Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy can't? Don't be so hypocritical!
The light of the soul ring faded, Meng Hongchen raised her chin proudly, and said to the referee: "I won, next one." As she spoke, she turned her wrist, took out a bottle and began to recover her soul power. Although the soul power consumed was not much, she had to be full of soul power to feel more secure. This is an obsessive-compulsive disorder that most soul engineers have.
The referee quickly came to the young man from the Dragon Slayer Sect and checked his body. After confirming that he had completely lost his fighting ability, he nodded to Meng Hongchen.
"You win, but your martial soul has poison attribute. Please quickly detoxify him to avoid endangering his life."
Meng Hongchen curled his lips and said, "Referee, have you forgotten? There will be a team competition later."
According to the rules of the competition, players cannot be replaced in the team competition after the individual elimination round. In other words, the players who are already in the waiting area still have to compete.
The referee frowned, "But if he continues, his life will be in danger."
In the end, the two sides reached an agreement. Meng Hongchen agreed to detoxify the team members who were knocked down by her poison, but the other party was not allowed to participate in the subsequent team battle.
The second person to come on the field from the Dragon Slayer Clan was a soul king named Feng Shen. As soon as the referee's arm fell, a loud eagle cry sounded. Then, a lavender lightning instantly shot up into the sky.
"The Lightning Falcon... This thing doesn't eat dragons!" Mu Xing closed his eyes in disappointment, gritting his teeth, "Why are they all beast spirits? Where's the Dragon Slaying Sword?!"
"This is only the second one. Look again. The protagonist usually makes the final shining appearance..." Long Xiaoyao continued to persuade.
Although Feng Shen used his strongest fifth soul skill without reservation right from the start, it was still too difficult for an ordinary soul king to fight a soul saint. After completing his strongest attack, not only did his arms break, but he also endured the poison of Zhu Qing Ice Toad at close range.
