DD2—Chapter 25: The Return of Jing Hongchen
"How can there be such a thing in the world?"
"Could it be that the consciousness in my mind is related to Tang San? But the problem is, according to records, Tang San became a god ten thousand years ago, and he is only in his teens this year, so how could he be related to this ancestor?"
"When the college is on vacation, I will go back and ask my eldest and second uncles. I must find the reason! However, I don't know why, but looking at the other empty bed in the dormitory, the consciousness in my mind seems to have an urgent desire to find something. Strange—what exactly should I look for?"
Wang Dong's mind was filled with thoughts.
To be honest, Wang Dong's aversion to some soul guidance devices must be the fault of the God King Tang. After all, the God King Tang left a trace of his spiritual consciousness on Wang Dong, which made it easier to protect him and could also influence him.
As for Xiaoqi's rejection, that is even more nonsensical. Xiaoqi is just a child; children will be curious about new things instead of rejecting them.
All the responsibility lies with the God King Tang! After all, he was a man who could turn Qiu Er and Dong Er into Tang Wutong. If he could do such an outrageous thing, who knows what other mistakes he might make?

Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.
Jing Hongchen, who had just returned from the palace, was suspended in the air, with thoughts surging in his mind. His Majesty's health is getting worse and worse. Now he can't even get out of bed; he can only rely on some rare treasures to stay alive.
The ninth-level soul engineers in the empire have also begun to take sides. At the moment, it seems that the prince has a great chance of winning.
However, several other princes also have the possibility of ascending the throne, and one prince wants to meet with him in private. This is forcing him to take sides.
However, taking sides is too troublesome, so he can only decline this invitation. It is better for him to just be the head of Illustrious Virtue Hall and try his best to cultivate Xiao and Meng into the pillars of the Hongchen family.
Thinking of this, Jing Hongchen flew towards his residence. As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw Xuan Ziwen and the others. "Hmm? Teacher Xuan, why did you bring Yuhao here?"
"Master, Yuhao's martial soul may have mutated, so I brought him to see you," Xuan Ziwen immediately stated his purpose.
"Martial Soul Mutation?" Jing Hongchen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao, show it to me."
"Okay, Dean." Huo Yuhao nodded, then directly activated his martial soul and used his soul skills.
Jing Hongchen looked calm and did not resist. He knew that Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection and sharing was very interesting, but the range of thirty meters was too small.
Suddenly, he felt Huo Yuhao's surging mental power and was shocked. "No, how can a one-ring soul master have such strong mental power? Even those spiritual attribute soul masters of the Body Sect can't have such exaggerated mental power at the first ring! Huo Yuhao, how big is your current detection range?"
"One thousand two hundred meters in one direction," Huo Yuhao said.
"One thousand two hundred meters in one direction?" Jing Hongchen was taken aback by this number.
The reason was very simple. In preparation for the future holy war, the Sun-Moon Empire was currently developing soul guidance detectors. Although Huo Yuhao's detection range could not be compared with those top-tier soul guidance detectors, it surpassed many common soul guidance detectors.
Moreover, he knew that Huo Yuhao's soul skill, spiritual detection and sharing, would grow stronger as his cultivation level improved, so Huo Yuhao would undoubtedly become one of the most terrifying soul masters on the battlefield in the future!
"Yuhao, what did you do to cause your martial soul to mutate?"
"I don't know. I bought some whale glue two days ago. When I woke up, my soul skills were like this," Huo Yuhao used the same excuse and left the rest to Jing Hongchen.
After all, martial soul mutation had always been a mysterious issue in the Douluo Continent. Even the fact that Huo Yuhao's younger brother, Dai Luoli's martial soul mutation, could not be understood or resolved by Dai Hao, the Duke of White Tiger.
Jing Hongchen fell into thought. "Perhaps you have some similarities with the famous master, Yu Xiaogang."
"Grandpa, why are you scolding him? You are comparing Huo Yuhao with the liar Yu Xiaogang. You are bullying Huo Yuhao!" Meng Hongchen defended Huo Yuhao.
A bitter smile appeared on Jing Hongchen's face. "Meng, Grandpa is talking about the transformation of the martial soul, not character.
Of course, I know that Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang, is not a good person. After all, according to our research, Yu Xiaogang's theories are mixed with a lot of content from the books in the Spirit Hall, which is equivalent to claiming other people's research as his own.
Moreover, this person also developed many erroneous theories, which had an extremely negative impact on the soul masters of the Douluo Continent."
"However, Huo Yuhao's martial soul mutation does remind me of Yu Xiaogang. After all, the famous Dragon God Douluo, Mu En, is a descendant of Yu Xiaogang's lineage. Although Yu Xiaogang's martial soul, Luo Sanpao, is a malignant mutation, it still has the potential of the Light Holy Dragon bloodline. Therefore, Mu En completely stimulated this bloodline and stabilized it. His martial soul is the Light Holy Dragon!"
"According to my thinking, Yuhao's ancestors must be extraordinary. This time his martial soul mutated; perhaps some kind of ancestral potential blood in his body was suddenly stimulated, leading to his martial soul mutation!"
There was a gleam of wisdom in Jing Hongchen's eyes, but he did not consider the second awakening of the body martial soul. After all, he had dealt with individuals from the Body Sect and knew that the second awakening of the body martial soul would have very obvious characteristics, which he did not observe in Huo Yuhao.
That sounded so real that Huo Yuhao was shocked. "Dean, that's how it is! No wonder the range of my soul skill has increased so much!"
Jing Hongchen said cheerfully, "Yuhao, your soul skills have grown to this level, and they are very useful. You will become the backbone of the empire in the future. You can participate as a reserve member in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition."
Meng Hongchen showed a look of surprise. Before Jing Hongchen came back, she also experienced Huo Yuhao's soul skills, so she naturally knew how much Huo Yuhao's participation would improve the entire team. Therefore, allowing Huo Yuhao to participate was undoubtedly a good thing.
"Moreover, as the dean, I must reward outstanding students like you. In this way, you can receive rare metals worth 100,000 gold soul coins every month, an artificial soul bone, and 400,000 gold soul coins every year. Your daily food allowance will also improve!"
Jing Hongchen didn't feel bad about giving out these rewards; after all, it was the royal family's money being spent. As long as there was a suitable reason, he could just ask the royal family for reimbursement when the time came.
The biggest characteristic of the Sun Moon royal family is that they have a lot of money. In a sense, he, as the dean, was just managing the academy on behalf of the royal family.
Artificial soul bones!
Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly lit up. There were indeed artificial soul bones in Douluo Dalu II, but the method used to make them was a bit too cruel.
"I'll give you part of the reward now." Jing Hongchen rubbed the storage ring for a few moments.
