Chapter 204 Jing Hongchen's Unexpected Involvement
"Yes, Master." Xuan Ziwen nodded and turned to walk outside.
"Xuan Ziwen, I look forward to your research results."
Jing Hongchen's sudden voice made Xuan Ziwen pause in his steps.
"The research on the remote monitoring soul tool is progressing smoothly, and we will soon have results."
"That's excellent."
Xuan Ziwen then continued walking outside.
As Xuan Ziwen said, currently only Xuan Ziwen can make remote monitoring soul tools.
Knowing that this soul tool could most likely only be used in the military, Xuan Ziwen never handed it over, even though he had already simplified the core magic array.
It seems the military is truly impatient and is doing everything in its power to improve the army's combat effectiveness. Otherwise, the dignified head of the Mingde Hall would not care about a long-range soul tool that doesn't significantly enhance individual combat power.
Only then did Xuan Ziwen realize that what Huo Yuhao meant by Mingde Hall was ultimately the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire, and all its research and development had its purpose.
Before this, although Xuan Ziwen knew that his research might be used for war, he was not too disgusted. But now he suddenly felt a little tired.
Perhaps I really should find a different place to conduct my research...
"Lin Jiayi".
Lin Jiayi, who was in the corner, stepped forward slightly and bowed slightly to Jing Hongchen: "Your subordinate is here."
"Invite Wang Shaojie over here. I, the hall master, will personally extend my greetings to this royal disciple."
"Yes, Master."
Lin Jiayi slowly retreated while maintaining his bowing posture.
……
Led by Lin Jiayi, Wang Shaojie arrived in front of Jing Hongchen. Wang Shaojie performed a royal salute to Jing Hongchen and said indistinctly, "Greetings, Hall Master Hongchen."
Jing Hongchen said in a kind tone, "I heard you had a minor conflict with Huo Yuhao. Could you tell me more about what happened?"
"Here's what happened..."
After embellishing the story, Wang Shaojie said with grief and indignation:
"Master Hongchen, Huo Yuhao has dared to show such contempt for the royal family's dignity by attacking a royal disciple. Master Hongchen, you must stand up for us!"
However, who is the Master of the Red Dust Hall? How could he not see how much exaggeration was in Wang Shaojie's words? But Jing Hongchen didn't care about the conflict between Huo Yuhao and them; he only cared about Huo Yuhao's true situation.
Especially when Wang Shaojie mentioned Huo Yuhao's ten-thousand-year third spirit ring, Jing Hongchen regretted giving away the secret medicine so easily when he thought about how the secret medicine he provided had nurtured a monster for Shrek Academy.
"You mean... Huo Yuhao has a strange ability to create a fake body with the same aura as his real body, and your attacks seem to have hit that fake body he created?"
Seeing that Jing Hongchen hadn't been provoked, Wang Shaojie was somewhat disappointed, but he still answered Jing Hongchen's question honestly.
After getting the information he wanted, Jing Hongchen waved his hand to dismiss Wang Shaojie: "Alright, after all, you were the ones who started this. Huo Yuhao is, after all, an exchange student. As the host, our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has a responsibility to take good care of our guest. But considering that you've learned your lesson this time, I won't pursue your mistake..."
"Master of the Mortal World Hall!"
Wang Shaojie stared at the person in front of him in disbelief.
It was clearly the dignity of the royal family members that was challenged by that damned commoner, yet Jing Hongchen turned around and pinned the blame on them.
Seeing that Wang Shaojie was so tactless, Jing Hongchen said firmly, "Stop talking. This matter ends here. I don't want to hear any more news about conflicts between you two."
Wang Shaojie replied reluctantly, "Yes."
Stepping out of Mingde Hall, Wang Shaojie slammed his fist against the wall. "Since the Hongchen Hall Master won't help me take revenge, then I'll do it myself."
Watching Wang Shaojie leave, Jing Hongchen sorted out the information he had gathered about Huo Yuhao: "His invisibility ability has already appeared in the Soul Master Competition. As for this incredibly realistic clone ability... could it be his third soul ring? I wonder where the limits of this soul skill are."
Even with Jing Hongchen's cultivation level, he could feel how disgusting Huo Yuhao's battle tactics were. Apart from forcibly exposing Huo Yuhao's figure by sweeping the ground on a large scale, Jing Hongchen couldn't think of any other way to deal with it for a while.
"Assisting teammates with aiming, stealth, mental shock... two spirit rings, three spirit skills, could one of them be a spirit bone... no, Huo Yuhao only had two spirit rings back then, Shrek Academy might not have invested in a spirit bone, could one of them be a talent ability, or some kind of spirit tool?"
Jing Hongchen thought of the torso bone that Huo Yuhao had possessed during the physical test.
"Huo Yuhao only has a torso bone, which should have been obtained after the Soul Master Competition, as a reward from the Soul Master Competition. This means that Huo Yuhao is also hiding a Soul Skill."
Originally, Huo Yuhao wouldn't have been worth Jing Hongchen's attention so much, but the hidden mental shock during the competition disrupted Meng Hongchen's poison-dispersing plan, and the light-attribute soul tool broke Xiao Hongchen's defenses. This forced Jing Hongchen to pay more attention to his grandson and granddaughter's future opponents.
Huo Yuhao is just too annoying. He usually hides in the corner and doesn't make a move, but once he does, he can catch his opponents off guard.
"Let's see if we can make a mental defense soul tool for Xiao and Meng. In addition, we also need a detection soul tool. We can't let them fall for Huo Yuhao twice in a row."
After cleaning the Soul Guidance Laboratory, Huo Yuhao returned directly to his dormitory and began tinkering with the image-recording array.
The first priority is to solve the problem of copying the storage array, that is, to batch copy the contents of the storage array.
After all, keeping only one copy of evidence is simply not enough to ensure its security.
By the time Huo Yuhao came to his senses after this research, it was already dark.
The knocking on the door paused his stretching motion.
Indeed, after all, quite a bit of trouble had occurred this morning, and Xuan Ziwen still had to come and inform them of the outcome.
Huo Yuhao opened the door, and standing outside was Xuan Ziwen.
"The matter has been resolved. Although the royal family was somewhat dissatisfied, the Red Dust Hall Master intervened and suppressed them. The royal family also had to give the Red Dust Hall Master face and did not say anything more. I heard that the Red Dust Hall Master also warned Wang Shaojie, so he should not cause you any more trouble."
Huo Yuhao thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your help, Teacher Xuan."
Xuan Ziwen waved his hand and said, "Alright, this is also my fault for not teaching my disciple well. It's getting late, so I'll head back first. You should get some rest too."
After saying goodbye to Xuan Ziwen, Huo Yuhao returned to his seat with a somewhat strange expression.
How did this matter even alarm Jing Hongchen? Could it be that Wang Shaojie's revenge is really not coming?
Looking at the two copies of the video he had just made, Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.
What Huo Yuhao didn't know was that his behavior as the sixth-ranked player in the competition, coupled with his extortion, had landed him on Jing Hongchen's list. More than his talent as a Soul Master, it was Huo Yuhao's hidden abilities that Jing Hongchen wanted to investigate.
After all, the unknown is always more frightening than the known.
Even if the ultimate ice is strong, there are ways to deal with it before it grows up, but there's no way to guard against the unknown in advance.
