Chapter 228 The First Red Ring of Jokes
Lin Nuo felt a little helpless.
Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for a martial soul evolved from a magical herb to be completely passed down. Ma Xiaotao is a good example of this.
Although she didn't start out with a mere chicken spirit like Ma Hongjun did, she still didn't inherit Ma Hongjun's final nine-headed fire phoenix spirit.
According to the official setting, Ma Xiaotao is the direct descendant of Ma Hongjun and Bai Chenxiang. She is not someone he accidentally caused a death while visiting a brothel when he was young. Moreover, he and Bai Chenxiang had their child at least after the finale of the first part of the story.
Even if he hadn't become a god by then, he would definitely have been a high-level titled Douluo, and his martial soul was already in its complete form as a nine-headed fire phoenix.
However, no one has passed it down, not even a similar one.
Judging from this, it would be difficult for Meng Hongchen's Ice and Fire Dragon Toad to be passed down. Moreover, there is an ironclad rule in Douluo Continent that descendants usually inherit the more powerful of their parents' martial souls.
In terms of martial soul strength, even though Meng Hongchen's Ice-Fire Dragon Toad is already the ultimate ice and fire martial soul, it is still somewhat inferior to his World Tree and Snow Empress martial souls.
Even if things didn't go well, Lin Nuo wasn't planning on having offspring right now; he would wait until he became a god.
It becomes even more difficult for them to have offspring once they become gods.
In his opinion, Lao Jing's wish was somewhat unrealistic. Rather than placing his hopes on him and Meng Hongchen, it would be better to wait until Xiao Hongchen had accepted the sacrifices of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and the Evil King, and the hexagonal data had been pulled to an extremely high level, so that he could marry a few more wives to help the Hongchen family spread its branches.
etc----
Lin Nuo touched his chin thoughtfully.
This looks promising!
No matter how many children a woman gives birth to, she can never outgrow a man. She has to wait ten months to conceive and give birth to a baby, unlike a man who can be exploited all day long as he becomes a stud.
Xiao Hongchen's talent is undoubtedly outstanding, which means he has excellent genes. With the high-standard training he receives, Xiao Hongchen will definitely become the best stud in the Hongchen family!
Thinking of this, Lin Nuo couldn't help but chuckle strangely.
"Brother-in-law, every fine horse has its discerning eye, and every stallion has its discerning eye. I am your undisputed discerning eye!"
Wahahaha~
Sitting next to Lin Nuo, Xiao Hongchen felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, and a strong tingling sensation surged in his nose. Then, unable to hold back, he sneezed loudly.
Of course, the sneezing wasn't the main point. The main point was that he had just taken a sip of the tea brewed by Jing Hongchen, and before he could even swallow it, he sprayed it all out, drenching Jing Hongchen's head and face.
"Pfft—cough cough cough—" Xiao Hongchen coughed loudly after being choked. When she finally caught her breath, she looked up and found that Lin Nuo and Meng Hongchen had already hidden far away.
Jing Hongchen, with a kind smile, calmly and unhurriedly took off his glasses, removed the tea leaves stuck to his face, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe the tea off his face.
"Buhou! My life is over!" Lao Xiao's face stiffened, and he sat on pins and needles.
"Grandpa, if I say I didn't do it on purpose, will you believe me?" Xiao Hongchen asked cautiously.
"What do you think?" Jing Hongchen's smile remained unchanged.
(The subsequent scenes were too bloody and have been censored.)
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic." Refreshed and invigorated, Jing Hongchen ignored Xiao Hongchen, whose head had become physically pointed, and finally began to talk about serious matters.
"I was a little hesitant at first, but now that Meng has come out of seclusion, there's no problem. What I'm going to talk about is something you're all familiar with: the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament. And the venue for this tournament will be our Sun Moon Empire. The venue is tentatively set five miles east of Mingdu City. The royal family is already organizing people to build the venue."
Jing Hongchen glanced at his granddaughter and said calmly, "In the last competition, we severely suppressed Shrek Academy's arrogance and defeated them. It's easy to imagine that in this competition, they will go all out to get revenge."
"Meng has already broken through to the Soul Saint level, and Xiao is only one Soul Ring away from breaking through to the Soul Saint level. If we add the Battle Armor, we can be sure that our side has at least two Title Douluo-level combatants, which would have been impossible in previous competitions."
"I trust you two siblings completely. I'm also prepared to let you handle the competition matters, allowing you to build your teams according to your own wishes. What do you think?"
Shrek Academy is organizing teams to participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament, and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is doing the same.
Jing Hongchen had received an application from the college director Lin Jiayi half a month ago, and had also been inquiring about the whereabouts of Lin Nuo and the other two.
As the dean of students, Lin Jiayi naturally knew that Lin Nuo and the other two were all under twenty years old and could participate in another Soul Battle Tournament. In the last tournament, the three of them already had at least the Soul Emperor level of combat power, and this tournament would only be more exaggerated.
It can be said that as long as the three of them participate, it is equivalent to directly locking in the championship of this competition, and there is no possibility of any accidents.
In this situation, when Lin Jiayi started to form the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's competition team, the first people he thought of were Lin Nuo and his two companions. However, apart from Jing Hongchen, almost no one knew where Lin Nuo and his companions had gone. Lin Jiayi could only send the report to Dean Jing Hongchen.
Even Jing Hongchen was helpless.
Lin Nuo's seclusion every few days has become commonplace. Each time he goes out or goes into seclusion, it lasts for at least ten days to half a month, or even one or two months or half a year.
In addition, Lin Nuo still has the Divine Trial to face. No matter how important a mere competition is, it is not as important as his grandson-in-law becoming a god.
Unless absolutely necessary, Jing Hongchen would never take the initiative to seek out Lin Nuo, so as not to bring him any unnecessary pressure or psychological burden. He could simply let Lin Nuo quietly and focus on growing according to his own plan.
It wasn't until Lin Nuo brought Meng Hongchen, who had just emerged from seclusion, that Jing Hongchen directly handed over the task of forming a team to them.
A polite remark: The future belongs to young people. You have all grown up and it's time for you to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for the world.
Honestly: Why bother an old man like me with such trivial matters? Go away, I don't have time for you. I need to devote myself to the wonderful world of battle armor and mechs. Do whatever you want, I can't lose anyway.
Xiao Hongchen rubbed the bump on his head and grinned as he said, "I have no objection. I didn't get enough of the last competition. The Shrek team was so weak, and with Arno, that freak, there, they went down without us even putting in any effort."
"If they really are going all out in this competition, just like you said, Grandpa, then I'll have to see just how good they are."
After saying that, a sharp glint flashed in Xiao Hongchen's eyes.
The two-word battle armor was extremely powerful. Even without obtaining the seventh soul ring, with his level 70 quasi-soul saint level soul power, he could unleash the combat power of a high-level Soul Douluo for half an hour after the battle armor was enhanced.
Just think about it, he has three 100,000-year soul bones and one external soul bone. With the soul power cultivation of a high-level Soul Douluo, to activate the soul bone skills of these four powerful soul bones, the scene would be no different from a real Title Douluo taking action.
If he were to obtain a seventh spirit ring and a fifth spirit bone that would last another 100,000 years, Xiao Hongchen wouldn't even dare to imagine how strong he could become.
At this moment, he somewhat understood Lin Nuo's mentality in the previous competition. That feeling of looking down on everyone and seeing everyone as worthless was so satisfying that it was hard to breathe.
"I'm also very interested to see what tricks the Shrek Academy people have up their sleeves." Meng Hongchen said with a bright smile, casually playing with her slender fingers.
It's not that she's gotten arrogant; it's just that she's too confident now. She has a powerful weapon in her hand, and she walks with her head held high wherever she goes.
After listening to the two siblings, Jing Hongchen nodded without saying anything more.
Having strength is a good thing, and having confidence is a good thing too. He believes that his grandchildren are not fools. Even if they have great strength, they will not be blindly confident and end up with foolish arrogance. He doesn't need to give them any more instructions.
The three of them turned their gaze to Lin Nuo, who was deep in thought.
"Arno, what do you say?" Meng Hongchen reached out and poked Lin Nuo's arm.
"Hmm—I might not participate," Lin Nuo said after thinking for a moment.
"Why?" Xiao Hongchen frowned, asking with some doubt. "That doesn't make sense. Would a show-off like you let go of such a great stage to show off as the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament?"
"Besides, don't I know you? Your hostility towards Shrek is probably greater than the three of us combined. Do you really think you can pass up such a good opportunity to go to the ring and thoroughly humiliate Shrek?"
"The way you're talking makes it sound like I'm some kind of bad person." Lin Nuo looked at Xiao Hongchen speechlessly.
The latter simply shrugged: "Those who know, know; those who don't, it's no use explaining, especially to those who clearly know but pretend not to. Arno, you're right, aren't you? You can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep."
Lin Nuo: "————You have a good eye for people."
Very good, you excel in language skills, but I wonder who you learned it from.
"Stop joking, let's get down to business," Lin Nuo said helplessly. "It's not that I don't plan to go, it's just that I don't know how long my seclusion will last. The competition might be over before I even come out."
"As for Shrek Academy, Mingdu is our home turf, and I want them to know what it means to utterly defeat any invading enemy. But we can't neglect our own training just for fun, can we?"
Moreover, it's been almost a year. In such a long time, Xiao Hongchen could easily forge a set of two-word battle armor for Meng Hongchen.
Originally, a Soul Saint-level Soul Master with ultimate attributes already possesses combat power comparable to a Title Douluo. If he were to add a Two-Word Battle Armor, Meng Hongchen would practically be considered invincible below the Super level.
With those two formidable figures, Black and White, standing on the stage, the outcome of this competition was completely predictable.
Dolinos is neither more nor less important.
"Alright, stop laughing at this guy. No matter what, your own cultivation is more important," Meng Hongchen said softly.
"Yes, we Sun Moon Sect don't take a mere competition more seriously than Shrek Academy," Jing Hongchen laughed heartily.
Glancing at her younger sister and grandfather, Xiao Hongchen muttered softly, "I didn't force him, I was just teasing him to lighten the mood."
But clearly, nobody paid any attention to his rambling.
The four of them chatted for a while in Laboratory No. 1, catching up on everyday matters. They were originally talking about trivial things, but before they knew it, the conversation had drifted back to cultivation.
First and foremost is Meng Hongchen's battle armor. Now that the conditions are right, it's natural to maximize its configuration as soon as possible. Jing Hongchen even made the decision to bring Ye Yulin and Kong Deming over, and the three of them will work together to develop Meng Hongchen's battle armor formation.
The dual-attribute battle armor formation of extreme ice and fire is indeed a considerable challenge, and its difficulty is definitely much higher than that of Xiao Hongchen's initial battle armor.
However, it's not impossible.
The ice and fire attributes, one yin and one yang, are somewhat similar to Ye Yulin's Sun and Moon Divine Needles. This is why Jing Hongchen went to call him. When designing Meng Hongchen's battle armor, he definitely drew inspiration from the design concept of the Sun and Moon Divine Needles.
As for the choice of materials for the battle armor, Xiao Hongchen even plans to use Meng Hongchen's battle armor to try the fusion forging technique after spirit forging.
Try to forge an alloy material using metals with ice, fire, or yin and yang attributes to create Meng Hongchen's battle armor.
Xiao Hongchen had been exploring the technique of fusion forging for a long time, but progress had never been ideal. There were always various problems with the fusion between metals, resulting in an appallingly low degree of fusion, which was simply unacceptable as a stepping stone for soul forging.
However, this kind of spirit-forging alloy with low fusion is indeed more functional than a single spirit-forging metal.
While its potential may be limited by the affinity between metals, preventing it from reaching its full potential and unleashing the full power of the alloy, it is still more than the sum of its parts.
Any progress is a good thing.
When the topic of forging came up, Lin Nuo also asked how to make Ji Juechen's meteorite iron sword.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Hongchen decided to wait until after he had completed the sacrifice and advanced to the Soul Saint level before making any decisions. The first forging of the Meteorite Iron Sword was extremely important. This sword was not only priceless in Lin Nuo's eyes, but also extremely precious in Xiao Hongchen's eyes.
Metals as spiritually potent as this sword are extremely rare; you couldn't find many like them anywhere in the world.
We must treat this with utmost care.
The four chatted for a while longer before leaving together. They returned home and enthusiastically started cooking, enjoying a meal together as a family.
It wasn't until the next day that Lin Nuo and Xiao Hongchen each entered a secret cultivation chamber.
Xiao Hongchen's breakthrough doesn't require much preparation; all he needs is a quiet place to accept the sacrifice. He doesn't need to go to Lin Nuo's demiplane.
The door to the secret chamber was closed, and in the darkness, a brilliant golden light suddenly shone, followed by a blood-red light that filled the entire chamber. The intense fluctuations of soul power were completely isolated by the walls of the secret chamber, which were made of special materials.
The sacrifice begins.
