"No, Xiao, are you serious?" When Xiao Hongchen confidently said that he would wash his socks for a year if he lost to Xiao Qiang, Meng Hongchen was in no mood to care about Xiao Qiang's appearance for a while.

Although Meng Hongchen's image outside is that of a beautiful girl with white hair and blue eyes, in the eyes of Xiao Hongchen, her brother who grew up with her, she is not a beautiful girl at all. As siblings who grew up together, the image of Meng Hongchen in Xiao Hongchen's eyes is hard to describe.

Because of this, the bet that Xiao Hongchen mentioned casually was full of shock in Meng Hongchen's eyes.

"What, Meng, you don't think I will lose to a Soul Master who is only level 35." Feeling Meng Hongchen's gaze, Xiao Hongchen said proudly.

After Xiao Hongchen said this, Meng Hongchen calmed down and thought about Xiao Hongchen's strength. "Well... that's indeed impossible."

"It's not that it's unlikely, it's that it's impossible at all." Xiao Hongchen said proudly, and then glanced at Xiao Qiang casually.

"Grandpa, you picked the wrong opponent for me. A mere three-ringed Soul Master is not worth my effort. Even if he can defeat a four-ringed Soul Sect, how many soul masters who have reached the level of Soul King can be my opponent?"

Jing Hongchen looked at Xiao Hongchen and was not angry. "Xiao, don't underestimate Xiao Qiang. Let's do this. You fight Xiao Qiang. If you win, Grandpa will give you a ninth-level soul guide. If you lose, you have to wash Meng's socks for a year as punishment for your arrogance according to the agreement between you and Meng. How about that?"

Feeling the trust in Xiao Qiang's ability in Jing Hongchen's tone, Xiao Hongchen looked at Xiao Qiang again. Unlike his previous contempt, his grandfather's confident look made Xiao Hongchen gradually calm down.

He had never heard of the name Xiao Qiang before, which meant that Xiao Qiang was not from a noble family.

Since Xiao Qiang was not born into a noble family, he could only be a member of a minor noble family or an ordinary commoner. No matter which of these two possibilities, if he wanted to become his grandfather's disciple, he would need a terrifying talent.

Whether it's a soul guide or a martial soul, Xiao Qiang's talent may even be equal to his own, or even stronger than his own, otherwise his grandfather would never easily accept someone as a disciple.

Coupled with her grandfather's confident look, it was obvious that he was trying to make her understand what he said before: there are always people better than you.

As the number one genius of the Sun Moon Empire, Xiao Hongchen not only has strength, but also has enough brains. He quickly sorted out the logical relationship and knew that Xiao Qiang was not easy to deal with, but...

"Grandpa, you will lose a ninth-level soul guide if you do this."

Xiao Hongchen did sort out his thoughts and figured out what was going on, but who was he? Xiao Hongchen, the number one genius in the Sun Moon Empire!

As the number one genius of the Sun-Moon Empire, if he doesn't dare to fight someone who has one less soul ring than him and whose soul power is twelve levels lower than his, then he is not Xiao Hongchen.

"You haven't defeated Xiao Qiang yet, so things are still uncertain, lol."

"A level 47 Soul Master is fighting against a level 35 Soul Venerable. Even if he can also make a level 4 soul guide, the soul power difference is more than 12 levels. In this battle, I have the advantage anyway."

"I really can't understand how I can lose to him in this situation. If that's the case, why can't I take a gamble? Can I, Xiao Hongchen, lose to someone with weaker soul power than me?"

"Well, since you are so confident, then fight him."

Jing Hongchen patted Xiao Qiang on the shoulder. As Xiao Hongchen's grandfather, he knew Xiao Hongchen's character best, so he knew that there was no way Xiao Hongchen would refuse.

Just like that, the two of them quickly walked onto the competition field. Xiao Hongchen looked at Xiao Qiang. At this time, he was quite arrogant, and he almost engraved the words "I am the world's number one genius" on his face.

As Jing Hongchen nodded and the referee shouted "start", Xiao Hongchen, who was originally preparing to end the battle with a few soul guide cannons, stopped.

"Forget it. After all, I am a four-ring soul master. Since my soul power is twelve levels higher than yours, I will let you use twelve moves first, so that you won't say that I won unfairly if you lose later."

The corner of Jing Hongchen's mouth twitched under the mask. It must be said that Xiao Qiang's three-ring soul master's appearance combined with his first two soul skills would not be able to resist any normal soul master.

The apparently weak strength, coupled with the just right psychological hint even though it only lasted a hundred years, would be difficult for even a person who was not very confident to avoid this move, let alone a proud person like Xiao Hongchen.

"Laugh, please be gentle! And please don't hit yourself in the face!"

"Which side are you from? Never mind. He's just a three-soul soul master. It's okay to pay attention to his face..."

Xiao Hongchen was halfway through his words when he saw Xiao Qiang suddenly appear very close to him, and then the fourth-level soul guide thrusters behind him exploded at the same time, and he appeared in front of him almost in the blink of an eye. The extremely close distance made it impossible for him to use the soul guide cannon.

"It's too late for the soul guide cannon! Damn it! I was careless! But..."

Seeing that the soul guide cannon could not be used, Xiao Hongchen was not too panicked. Even without the soul guide cannon, with his soul power exceeding Xiao Qiang's twelve levels, his control over metal and his top-level martial soul, Xiao Hongchen was sure that he would still win this battle.

"The gap between you and me is too big. Even if you have some tricks..."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Xiao Hongchen looked at Xiao Qiang's fist and wanted to use his control over metal to defend against Xiao Qiang's fist and then suppress it.

But suddenly, after he saw Xiao Qiang's eyes, his mind suddenly became dazed, and it was this moment of trance that caused Xiao Qiang's fist to hit Xiao Hongchen right in the eye socket.

Xiao Hongchen felt pain, so his soul skills slowed down by half a beat, and it was this half beat that made Xiao Hongchen's other eye become a panda eye.

After being hit twice in a row, Xiao Hongchen realized that something was wrong and wanted to fight back, but Xiao Qiang had no intention of giving Xiao Hongchen a chance to counterattack, so he took advantage of the situation and attacked him, using the dynamic vision of the Sharingan to suppress Xiao Hongchen the whole time.

It was not until Xiao Hongchen was beaten until his body was covered with bruises that anyone could see that Xiao Hongchen could no longer defeat Xiao Qiang. At the signal of Jing Hongchen, the referee decided to declare Xiao Hongchen the loser.

Then Xiao Qiang stopped. After Xiao Qiang stopped, Meng Hongchen could clearly feel that Xiao Hongchen had gained weight.

"Xiao, are you okay?" Meng Hongchen ran over and helped Xiao Hongchen up.

"Fortunately, he didn't hit me in a vital part, but the pain is unbearable. With the medication, I think I'll be almost recovered by tomorrow." Xiao Hongchen said after feeling his current physical condition.

"Oh, so will you wash my socks today or tomorrow?"

Xiao Hongchen: “…”
