"Well, anyway, my Haotian Sect doesn't need your two soul bones. You can just apologize for this matter, and you don't have to give me anything. On the one hand, our Haotian Sect doesn't need it, and on the other hand, I was also wrong after that incident. So that's it, you don't have to give me anything."

Er Ming said this and left the Poseidon Pavilion. Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Lao followed Er Ming silently without saying anything. Er Ming then comforted Wang Dong'er and left the academy after completing the task assigned by Tang San. Seeing Er Ming leave the academy without saying anything, Xuan Lao and the others felt relieved.

Thanks to Er Ming's operation, Huo Yuhao was successfully injured in this crisis and gained nothing. This can be regarded as the daily operation of the Haotian Sect.

…………

When Huo Yuhao's luck was suppressed by the Haotian Sect and could not be brought into play, on the side of the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire, Xiao Qiang was brought before a group of five-ring soul kings as well as Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

"His name is Xiao Qiang, and he is the hall master's disciple. The hall master asked him to participate in the upcoming All-Continent High-Level Soul Master Competition as a substitute player, just like Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen."

Teacher Jingyun briefly introduced Xiao Qiang's situation, and then Xiao Qiang greeted everyone.

When it comes to greeting people, Xiao Qiang's performance is quite standard. It can't be said to be good or bad. Normally, he would not give people a very good or very bad impression. But unfortunately, as a disciple of Jing Hongchen, Xiao Qiang belongs to the direct lineage of Jing Hongchen just like Xiao Hongchen.

In contrast to the arrogant Xiao Hongchen, Xiao Qiang's proactive attitude of greeting everyone seemed extremely rare and pleasing to the eye.

"Hello, Xiao Qiang. My name is Ma Rulong. I am the captain of this team. My current cultivation level is 58th level."

"Hello, Brother Ma."

Xiao Qiang shook hands with everyone in turn. After he got to know all the regular team members, Xiao Qiang came to Xiao Hongchen. In front of Xiao Hongchen, Xiao Qiang did not speak first, but Xiao Hongchen spoke first.

"Mr. Ma, my grandfather suddenly came here. It's not easy to get to know each other thoroughly in a short period of time. Why don't we have a fight and get to know each other's abilities?"

The man called Old Ma by Xiao Hongchen is Ma Rulong's father and also the team leader of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy in the original novel.

When he heard Xiao Hongchen's words, his first reaction was to complain in his heart that they seemed to have no shortage of time. There was still less than a year before the competition started, and they could slowly get used to it.

But since Xiao Hongchen, the grandson of the hall master, said so, and Xiao Qiang didn't object, Old Ma nodded.

"Okay, then you and Xiao Qiang should have a little sparring, and be careful about what you do."

"Don't worry, I will be careful." Xiao Hongchen, whose injuries from Xiao Qiang had completely healed, said gritting his teeth.

Xiao Qiang looked at Xiao Hongchen who was full of fighting spirit and sighed helplessly, then asked about Tian Meng in the sea of ​​​​spirituality.

"Brother Tianmeng, without actually hurting me, how do you think we can make Xiao Hongchen's victory look more realistic?"

"Ah? Why do you ask that?"

"Two reasons. First, I took more than 10 million yuan from someone and then beat him up three times. I feel that this is a bit unjustifiable."

"Secondly, I feel like Xiao Hongchen seems a little bit possessed. If I beat him a third time, I'm afraid Xiao Hongchen will pick fights with me every day until he beats me."

Somehow, in Xiao Qiang's eyes, Xiao Hongchen seemed a bit like the sword maniac Ji Juechen in the original novel.

"You want him to win. Okay, I'll leave this to you, brother."

After Tian Meng agreed, Xiao Hongchen and Xiao Qiang came to the competition venue. As Ma Lao's life began, Xiao Hongchen immediately put on the mental defense soul guide device.

But this is the Sun and Moon Empire after all, and Xiao Hongchen's grandfather Jing Hongchen is the head of Mingde Hall. Looking at the entire continent, Jing Hongchen is also ranked among the top three in terms of soul guides.

It is not easy to modify a seventh-level soul guide to a fifth-level soul guide, but difficult does not mean impossible. Obviously, Jing Hongchen can overcome this difficulty.

Although this level five soul guide is a powerful castrated version compared to the level seven soul guide, it is completely capable of defending against a spiritual soul master who is only level thirty or so. According to Jing Hongchen's speculation, this soul guide is even enough to defend against the mental impact of a spiritual soul master at the five-ring soul king level.

It can’t be any stronger. After all, this is just a castrated level 5 soul guide.

After putting on the mental defense soul guide device, Xiao Hongchen quickly used a similar combat method as before. Thirty-six soul guide cannons were created by Xiao Hongchen using his first three soul skills. However, compared to the previous time, the firing rate and power were obviously much smaller this time.

But the small power does not mean that Xiao Qiang can ignore it. The Three Magatama Sharingan still needs to be carefully observed and avoided.

This time, Xiao Hongchen's own soul power consumption was much smaller than the previous two times. Although Xiao Qiang's soul power consumption was still small, Xiao Qiang's physical strength consumption was not small.

After fighting for a while, Xiao Qiang also saw Xiao Hongchen's purpose. Xiao Hongchen was using his soul power to consume Xiao Qiang's physical strength. He wanted to see whether Xiao Qiang's physical strength would run out first or his soul power would run out first.

"After being beaten twice, he has become much more stable. It is true that people cannot teach people, but things can teach people twice."

Xiao Qiang silently complained in his heart. He thought it was still possible to defeat Xiao Hongchen. After all, the level of the spiritual defense soul guide worn on Xiao Hongchen's head was there.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Tian Meng gave Xiao Qiang a wave of strength, and the Sharingan plus Tian Meng gave Xiao Qiang a second wave of strength. With this level of strength, Xiao Qiang's mental power is not even worse than that of a spiritual soul master with six-ring soul emperors. It is relatively easy for him to deal with a fifth-level soul guide device.

But in order to prevent Xiao Hongchen from looking for a fight with me all day long, it would be better to lose this battle once.

Therefore, after Xiao Hongchen and Xiao Qiang fought for more than ten minutes, Xiao Qiang first showed some signs of physical exhaustion, and his clothes were damaged by Xiao Hongchen's fire.

Xiao Qiang took a look at the clothes that were damaged by the artillery fire, and then used the fourth-level soul guide thruster to try to get closer to Xiao Hongchen.

Looking at Xiao Qiang flying over, Xiao Hongchen raised the corner of his mouth, and the power of the artillery fire was weakened again in exchange for a faster attack speed. As the distance between the two people got closer and closer, finally, after they approached a certain distance, Xiao Qiang was hit by Xiao Hongchen's soul guide cannon in the chest, and the whole person was blown away by the artillery fire.

Old Ma quickly came to Xiao Qiang's side and injected his soul power into Xiao Qiang's body. He was surprised to find that Xiao Qiang's injuries seemed to be all on his clothes, but when he thought of Xiao Hongchen's deliberate reduction of power, he understood the result.

"The winner laughs at the world."

When Xiao Hongchen heard Mr. Ma say that he won, he was stunned for a moment, and then he almost cried for joy.

After being beaten twice, he finally won. It was not easy. As expected, he knew that Xiao Hongchen was the number one genius of the Sun and Moon Empire.

When Xiao Hongchen was holding his head high with a proud look on his face, they were full of question marks when they saw Xiao Hongchen defeating Xiao Qiang's Ma Rulong.

"You, a four-ringed soul master, have nothing to be proud of for defeating a three-ringed soul master."

"that is."

Xiao Hongchen: “…”
