Chapter 171: Virtualization
"Ling Shuang, my brother said he doesn't accept you!"
When Xiao Hongchen came on stage, Meng Hongchen did not forget to add fuel to the fire and shouted.
Xiao Hongchen glared at her fiercely.
Is this his biological sister?
It was obvious she wanted him dead!
Ling Shuang roughly guessed the whole picture of the matter through his understanding of the two and their current performance.
However, he didn't think too much about the issues between the siblings.
So Ling Shuang didn't react to Meng Hongchen's words.
But Meng Hongchen didn't care much and instead threw a provocative look at Xiao Hongchen.
The original atmosphere shifted with her antics.
As the voice of the referee, Tiansha Douluo, fell, the confrontation between the two officially began.
Xiao Hongchen's eyes became firm in that moment.
Although he actually admitted that he wasn't as good as Ling Shuang, they had never fought before.
This was his first fight with Ling Shuang.
Xiao Hongchen wanted to see just how big the gap between them truly was.
Having been regarded as a genius by everyone since childhood, it was impossible for him not to hold some pride in his heart.
In fact, Xiao Hongchen wasn't angry about his sister's shout just now he was even a little grateful.
He hoped to have a real fight against a serious Ling Shuang!
But in truth, that was only wishful thinking on Xiao Hongchen's part.
Ling Shuang wasn't affected by Meng Hongchen's words at all.
As for being serious...
That would depend on Xiao Hongchen's own capability.
On Xiao Hongchen's side, five soul rings slowly rose.
He was only one or two years older than Ling Shuang and Huo Yuhao.
Not everyone was a monster like Ling Shuang. Reaching Soul King at that age was absolutely astonishing.
The regular team Soul Kings of Shrek Academy were all around twenty years old.
It was just that Xiao Hongchen had used drugs. If not for that, his talent as a Spirit Master would have been greater than his talent as a Soul Engineer.
But Ling Shuang remembered this guy seemed to have lost to Huo Yuhao in the original work, and his self-esteem got the better of him so he ended up using a method that ruined his future.
Ling Shuang didn't understand that approach.
Even if you were inferior in skill, ruining your future because of a momentary outburst was clearly not worth it.
However, considering the existence of inner demons in this world, Ling Shuang couldn't judge whether Xiao Hongchen's actions were right or wrong.
After all, if it really involved a heart demon, then even without pushing himself recklessly, his future might've ended up the same.
"Are you looking down on me?" Xiao Hongchen's angry voice came.
Seeing Ling Shuang's absent-minded look, he thought Ling Shuang was looking down on him and was immediately furious.
He squatted slightly, and golden bulges rose one by one. A golden leg stretched out from his back.
He waved his hand and threw out hundreds of metal balls. With those as the core, gun barrels extended from each one.
With so many gun barrels and his three-legged golden toad martial spirit, Xiao Hongchen looked like a cross between a hedgehog and a golden toad.
Ling Shuang's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help laughing at Xiao Hongchen's abstract form.
Although practicality outweighed appearance in the world of Spirit Masters, Xiao Hongchen's current look was truly unflattering.
Even Ling Shuang felt that if his own martial spirit looked like that during battle, his mindset might be a little affected.
By contrast, his sister Meng Hongchen's martial spirit, although incapable of beast transformation, looked much more pleasing.
Still, Ling Shuang had no intention of explaining anything to Xiao Hongchen. It was a simple misunderstanding, and it wouldn't cause any problems.
But his lack of response was seen by Xiao Hongchen as a silent agreement.
This only made him angrier.
Golden light shone all over Xiao Hongchen's body, and the gun barrels distributed around him began to gather light.
His second and fourth soul rings flickered, and countless golden light spots flowed toward Xiao Hongchen like converging rivers.
Boiling Gold, Breathing Gold!
These two were his core abilities and the key to his ability to simultaneously control so many gun barrels for multi-directional bombardment.
"Yeah, it's a very good ability." Facing the threat of over a hundred long cannons, Ling Shuang not only showed no panic, but even softly admired it.
To be honest, Ling Shuang genuinely thought the metal control power of the three-legged golden toad was impressive.
As long as it was fully developed, it would definitely become a war machine!
"Don't look down on me!" Xiao Hongchen was completely infuriated by Ling Shuang's attitude.
Blazing white light lit up at the muzzles of the many gun barrels.
At this moment, Xiao Hongchen's entire body was shining so brightly that it was hard to look at him directly.
A terrifying storm of soul power blasted toward Ling Shuang with devastating might.
"This is the top genius of the Sun Moon Empire..."
On the city wall, Xu Jiawei watched Xiao Hongchen's performance, and his expression turned grim.
The power Xiao Hongchen was exerting now could rival the general offensive strength of a Soul Emperor perhaps even the destructive power of a Soul Saint.
That was unimaginable for a Soul King!
Xu Jiawei asked himself was there anyone in the Star Luo Empire who could compare with Xiao Hongchen?
The answer was no.
Even if it was Xu Jiujiu, he didn't believe her talent surpassed Xiao Hongchen's.
As for Ling Shuang...
Xu Jiawei saw it very clearly. He was only participating in the competition because he had promised from Xu Jiujiu, and he couldn't be regarded as a true member of the Star Luo Empire.
Alas, the Sun Moon Empire...
Xu Jiawei was deeply worried.
They couldn't match the Sun Moon Empire in national strength, nor could they compare in the younger generation of geniuses.
As the emperor of Star Luo, he was truly concerned for the future of the empire.
"Meng Hongchen, aren't you worried your male god will get hurt?" A girl who had seen through Meng Hongchen's admiration for Ling Shuang came over to tease.
Meng Hongchen crossed her arms and said disdainfully, "Please, if my brother could hurt Ling Shuang, I'd never argue with him again."
It was a pity Xiao Hongchen couldn't hear his sister's words on stage, or else he'd have been so angry he might've choked.
Facing the overwhelming soul power storm on the field, Ling Shuang's expression remained unchanged.
"Don't remember."
A calm voice with a trace of sneer echoed.
Xiao Hongchen suddenly recalled something and felt a sense of unease. He hastily summoned a level-six defensive soul tool in front of him.
Ling Shuang's figure blurred once again into an illusion.
The overwhelming soul power storm struck the competition stage but did no damage to Ling Shuang.
Virtual.
As a being from the Virtual Circle, Ling Shuang feared such ordinary explosions the least.
Even a ninth-level fixed soul cannon couldn't hurt him how could a Soul King's explosion ever hope to?
This was the power of virtualization!
