Chapter 598 Your Majesty's Congratulations!
Xinmingdetang.
"Xiao'er, you need to further coordinate the energy of all your cannons, and try to hide one of the ten thousand beams of soul guidance at its highest energy level, concealing it among all the beams for a surprise attack."
"Meng'er, you need to be faster. Use the Ice Mirror to teleport. Combining poison with ice mist is your greatest attack method. Try to integrate the poison into the ice mist and gather it in your hands, not on your back."
On the third basement floor of Mingde Hall, in the simulated combat laboratory, two figures, one in gold and one in blue, were rapidly changing positions.
Jing Hongchen emanated a faint red light, and two bands of soul power connected to the protective shield on the field.
He looked at the two figures fighting in the arena, a look of satisfaction on his face. He immediately put on a serious expression and addressed the two, "Remember your strengths! Don't waste your soul power!"
Xiao Hongchen's face was hidden in a mask, and his armor was constantly being corroded by the poisonous fog in the air, and then quickly repaired. Behind him, six floating cannons were continuously firing soul-guided rays as thick as a thigh.
His opponent, Meng Hongchen, was also dressed in light armor, wielding two short blades. He used the constantly regenerating and condensing ice mirrors on the ground to leap and dodge the dense artillery fire.
The two continued their fierce battle, with Xiao Hongchen's floating cannons constantly bombarding a wide area. Even though his soul power was being consumed rapidly, he knew he had to limit Meng Hongchen's teleportation range and force her into a corner.
Meng Hongchen understood Xiao Hongchen's intentions and kept spinning and dancing on the ice mirror, dissipating her own poison into the ice mist. The short sword in her hand was coated with a layer of milky white light. She stood on a soul guide ray that was attacking and actually managed to deflect the soul guide ray off its course.
After slicing through a soul-guided ray, a glint flashed in Meng Hongchen's eyes, and her delicate body flew up again, like a graceful dancer twirling on the ice mirror.
One after another, the soul-guided rays were cleaved apart, and the explosion sent ice crystals and mist flying, making Meng Hongchen look like a fairy in the mist, both beautiful and deadly.
Several fist-sized shards of ice were slapped out by Meng Hongchen with a palm strike. The ice shards, which were originally covered with some dust, instantly turned into pure white ice blocks, like the purest white ice crystals in the world.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Hongchen's expression changed drastically. He put his hands in front of his chest, and his body emitted a rich golden light. One cannon barrel after another condensed from his body, and six metal bands popped out from his back, connecting to the floating cannons. The muzzles of the six floating cannons immediately lit up.
A large number of induced rays shattered the incoming ice fragments, and the intense heat evaporated the surrounding ice mist, while the strong winds generated continuously pushed away the toxins that had been incorporated into the ice mist.
Suddenly, a hexagonal rhombus-shaped cannon muzzle appeared on Xiao Hongchen's chest, rapidly gathering rays.
The six floating cannons activated simultaneously, and the six energy rays converged in front of Xiao Hongchen to form a huge sphere of light.
With each leap, Meng Hongchen would unleash a massive ice ring at the point of landing, increasing the concentration of ice mist on the field.
"Boiling over! Fireworks rain!" Xiao Hongchen shouted, and a thick beam of light suddenly shot out from his chest, striking the ball of light in front of him.
The ball of light immediately spun and flew into the air, then exploded like fireworks a moment later, turning into countless soul-guided rays that fell like raindrops.
Meng Hongchen sheathed his short sword, slapped the ground with both hands, shattering the ice mirror beneath his feet into head-sized fragments. His soul power surged, sending all the fragments flying.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Hongchen transformed into a stream of light, constantly leaping among the shattered mirror fragments.
Xiao Hongchen was very familiar with Meng Hongchen's attack patterns. He put away the extra cannons on his body, and a pair of fist blades condensed on his arms. The armor on his body rapidly increased in thickness.
In the blink of an eye, Meng Hongchen broke through the blockade of the fireworks rain using teleportation and rushed to Xiao Hongchen's side.
The short sword clashed with the fist blade, and the golden fist blade only lasted for less than ten seconds before being corroded and dissolved.
Xiao Hongchen's flying soul tool on his back suddenly increased its power output, trying to quickly take off and create distance.
Meng Hongchen's fingernails quickly glowed with a dark purple light, and a droplet the size of a fingernail popped out.
The droplet instantly pierced through Xiao Hongchen's thick arm armor, and a series of corrosive sounds rang out.
Xiao Hongchen froze, floating in the air, his pupils shifting to the lower left. There was a deep corrosion mark on his mask.
"I'm not fighting anymore! Sister, there's no way to defend against this move!" Xiao Hongchen took off his helmet and threw it down. His armor instantly trembled and dissolved like liquid, finally condensing and compressing into two fist-sized metal balls that floated in front of him.
Upon hearing Xiao Hongchen concede defeat, Jing Hongchen smiled and announced the victor.
Meng Hongchen sheathed her short sword and landed lightly on the ground. "Brother, you lost again. You owe me another chance to run errands!"
Xiao Hongchen plopped down on the ground, thick steam rising from his body. Hearing this, he glared at Meng Hongchen with annoyance, "I'll pay, I'll pay!"
The siblings made a bet that the winner could have the loser run an errand for them once.
Meng Hongchen's goal was to get Xiao Hongchen to invite Ye Nanxiao out, creating a private space for the two of them.
"So what if I owe it? I can't really call Nanxiao out anyway. At most, my sister will just beat me up to vent her anger. A few days of bed rest and I'll be a hero again!"
Xiao Hongchen followed Ye Nanxiao's clone for a while and even learned the passive skill of "playing dumb".
Looking at her excited granddaughter, Jing Hongchen reached out and rubbed Meng Hongchen's little head. "Not bad, Meng'er has made progress again. You know how to maximize the effect of Ice Warp, which has become a deadly move for you to hunt down your opponents in battle."
Meng Hongchen chuckled and said, "This is a pretty good move, Grandpa! It was Nanxiao's suggestion that I made!"
Xiao Hongchen, having put away the metal ball, also came over. Hearing Meng Hongchen's words, he shook his head helplessly. "Nanxiao is clearly my master. My move was so cool! It's just that your poison was too overpowered, little sister!"
Meng Hongchen's poison was extremely potent, more terrifying than any poisonous immortal herb he had ever seen.
Even the finest steel could be easily corroded and penetrated; the metal he carried was completely ineffective against it.
"That's real skill!" Meng Hongchen made a face at Xiao Hongchen.
Jing Hongchen watched her grandchildren playing with a smile, her eyes filled with satisfaction.
Since relinquishing absolute control over Mingdetang, he followed Ye Nanxiao's advice and chose to slack off.
Now that Xu Tianran has already planted his own people, he, as a subject, is destined to lose control of Mingde Hall, and the title of Hall Master will only be a title.
"Instead of clinging to Mingde Hall and leaving it to Xiao Hongchen and his sister, why not train them into top-tier powerhouses and soul masters, and then rebuild another Mingde Hall? With your family's strength, that wouldn't be difficult. Why stubbornly hold onto that piece of land?"
Ye Nanxiao's words of advice still seemed to echo in Jing Hongchen's ears.
"Yes, Mingde Hall was only established by the Hongchen family, and it is not the entirety of the Hongchen family." Jing Hongchen sighed slightly. He could not defeat Xu Tianran, nor could he possibly defeat the Sun and Moon Emperor within the Sun and Moon Empire.
While deep in thought, Jing Hongchen's expression suddenly froze, and then he took out a soul-guided communicator from his storage ring.
Jing Hongchen glanced at the two who were bickering, then turned around and quietly opened his soul power barrier to connect to the soul guidance communication.
"This is Red Mirror."
"This is for conscripts."
The latest novel is first published here!
A strange voice came from the other end, instantly confirming Jing Hongchen's identity.
"Hey kid, what's up?" Jing Hongchen asked.
"Something's up. The tool project is going live, it's time for you to shine!" Little Ye No. 3 said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes.
"Alright, I understand." Jing Hongchen nodded slightly and then hung up the soul communication.
"Grandpa! Were you just talking to Nanxiao?!" Meng Hongchen blinked her big eyes at Jing Hongchen, her face full of anticipation.
Jing Hongchen reached out and brushed a stray strand of hair from Meng Hongchen's forehead, smiling as she said, "Girls grow up and leave home, and you're always thinking about your lover. But Grandpa supports you. Now is not the time to meet. Let's wait a little longer."
Meng Hongchen immediately deflated, pouting, "But I haven't seen Nanxiao in so long! Grandpa, you won't let me go out to look for him!"
"We're not letting you go out because we're afraid you'll chase Nanxiao further and further away!" Xiao Hongchen's gloating voice came from behind.
Meng Hongchen narrowed his eyes, and two short swords instantly appeared in his hands as he chased after Xiao Hongchen.
"You two, don't cause any trouble! Grandpa needs to go to the palace!" Jing Hongchen said, then hurriedly left.
Sun and Moon Palace, Great Sun Hall.
When Jing Hongchen arrived at the Great Sun Hall, Xu Tianran was leaning back on the dragon throne, resting with his eyes closed.
Looking at Xu Tianran's tired expression, Jing Hongchen suddenly thought of a sentence: "Sometimes, a man's fatigue is mostly after hard work."
Upon noticing Jing Hongchen's arrival, Xu Tianran slightly opened his eyes and sat up straight. The maid beside him immediately stepped forward and gently massaged Xu Tianran's head with her small hands.
"Master, what's the rush that made you come at this time?" Xu Tianran snorted. He had just finished brain sensory therapy and was currently in a period of rest and recovery.
Jing Hongchen glanced at the trembling maid beside Xu Tianran and shouted, "Your Majesty, I have come to the palace to offer my congratulations!"
"After rigorous research and experimentation, I have lived up to Your Majesty's expectations; the baby bottle filling technology is now in its final stages!"
"Oh!?" Xu Tianran suddenly opened his eyes and pushed the maid away.
The baby bottle filling technology uses baby bottles that store soul power as the driving energy for soul tools, allowing soul masters to have more soul power to control stronger or more numerous soul tools.
"I want to see the experimental data!" Xu Tianran placed his hands on the table, crossed.
Jing Hongchen was prepared and handed a storage jade to the eunuch beside her.
After the eunuch inspected the jade storage box, Xu Tianran took out the documents and information stored inside.
Xu Tianran quickly scanned the detailed research and experimental data.
The clear numbers made Xu Tianran very happy.
"Excellent! Xuan Ziwen, the lead researcher? Master, you've done a great job!" Xu Tianran said excitedly.
"Your Majesty, I offer my congratulations." Jing Hongchen bowed again, a hint of displeasure hidden in his eyes.
