"My god, what is that person doing?!"
A garrison soldier from Dongyang City stood trembling on the city wall, watching the giant in the distance, shrouded in green mist, fighting with his left hand against his right.
His companion beside him remained calm, pondering for a moment before saying,
"Could it be that he's taken too many drugs? Is he having mental problems?"
"I heard from my comrades that those Soul Masters and Soul Instructors love to take drugs. The side effects of the drugs make their heads pointy, and they also cause mental problems."
"Forget it, hurry up and inform the superiors! This thing is not something we ordinary people can handle."
The Abomination Douluo couldn't hear the garrison soldier's discussion in the distance. His spiritual sea had now split into two parts!
On each of the two spiritual seas was an Abomination Douluo, and the two of them started fighting!
"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!"
One of the Abomination Douluos was fanatical, frantically swinging the skull chain in his hand, attacking the other Abomination Douluo with reckless abandon.
"What Shrek?! I'm an evil soul master! I'm their enemy!"
Hearing his other self retort, the veins on the chains gripping the Abomination Douluo bulged! A hint of red light appeared in his dark green eyes!
"Have you forgotten our original intentions?!"
"We came to the Holy Spirit Cult to proclaim the glory of Shrek!"
"I killed those ants because they were unworthy to share the same land as Shrek!"
"The air there is so sweet, their training ground so spacious! Every time I think about it, I can't wait to run a hundred laps on it!"
The normal Abomination Douluo kept dodging the opponent's increasingly ferocious attacks.
A flush appeared on his dark green face.
"Where did you get this anecdote?!"
"How could I not know?!"
The Abnormal Abomination Douluo shouted angrily,
"How dare you live in this world if you don't know the glory of Shrek Academy?!"
"The thought of sharing a body with someone like you who can't understand the glory of Shrek Academy makes me want to die!"
"Let's die together!"
The Abnormal Abomination Douluo stopped attacking and, under the bloodshot gaze of the Normal Abomination Douluo, ignited his own source.
"Madman!"
"Wait, wait a minute!"
"What exactly is Shrek's Glory?!"
"Stop! Tell me! I can talk! I can love Shrek too!"
Upon hearing this, the Abnormal Abomination Douluo began to mutter to himself:
"Right? What is Shrek's Glory?"
"Why can't I find it?"
Then, his forehead veins bulged, his eyes bloodshot, and he roared:
"That's right, how can I, who doesn't even know Shrek's Glory, have the face to continue living?!"
The Normal Abomination Douluo's words not only had no positive effect, but also completely accelerated the burning of his source.
"No!!!"
The Normal Abomination Douluo roared in despair, but it was too late.
The residents of Dongyang City had a completely different experience this time.
The giant above the icy sea, its body shrouded in green mist, suddenly began to swell, its violent soul power trying to burst out!
The soul power flames, almost tangible, seemed to ignite the giant's body.
The entire Dongyang City felt that world-destroying aura!
The commander of the Dongyang City Soul Master Corps was also drenched in sweat. As an eighth-level Soul Master, he naturally realized that the unknown evil Soul Master intended to self-destruct!
"What the hell is this evil Soul Master doing?"
"Sending a Title Douluo here to self-destruct and cause trouble?!"
"Is he setting off fireworks?"
"Activate the combined Soul Guidance Defense Barrier immediately!"
"We can't let the aftershocks of the self-destruction reach Dongyang City!"
The corps commander stepped forward to activate the defensive Soul Guidance device. He was working so hard because the Mingde Hall Master's beloved grandson and granddaughter were still there!
If something happened to them, he could find a way to escape.
Fortunately, the self-destruction of a level 93 evil Soul Master wasn't enough to break through the combined Soul Guidance Defense centered on an eighth-level Soul Master.
The corps commander only coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, his face pale, and was helped into a tent by the surrounding Soul Masters to rest.
On the watchtower of Dongyang City's wall, Xiao Hongchen asked his younger sister, who had her hair tied in a side ponytail,
"Meng, did you record it?"
Meng Hongchen nodded, her face full of excitement as she looked at the green mushroom cloud rising in the distance.
She hadn't expected that coming here to promote Snow King Ice City and Kenlais would lead her to witness a self-destruction of an evil soul master!
Even if I die, it'll be worth the price of admission!
Xiao Hongchen's lips curled up slightly, his heterochromatic blue-green eyes revealing excitement.
"I'll show this to Lao Deng later. That guy definitely hasn't seen a Title Douluo-level evil soul master self-destruct!"
Meng Hongchen nodded in agreement, "Yeah, and Senior Ma Rulong and the others too. They definitely haven't seen anything like this before!"
The two were chatting happily on the city wall when an unexpected visitor interrupted their conversation.
"Miss! Young Master!"
"The Hall Master has ordered you to proceed immediately to the Mingdou Mountains!"
"There are enthusiastic people there to meet you on your way to the Heavenly Soul Empire."
"The Sun Moon Empire may be experiencing some changes recently. The Hall Master wants you two to go to Xilu City in the Heavenly Soul Empire to avoid trouble."
"Come back some time before the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament!"
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen exchanged a glance, looking at the guards before them and saying:
"Is it that serious?"
"I understand, let's set off now."
"Here, that damned 'You love me, I love you…', I'm so sick of hearing it!"
"Who wrote this song?! I hope I don't catch them!"
...
Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Mingde Hall.
Jing Hongchen looked at the recording soul tool in his hand, which showed the scene of the Abomination Douluo's self-destruction.
He had used everything he had to give his two precious grandchildren the best resources and protect their safety.
After they went to Dongyang City, Jing Hongchen immediately dispatched a group of guards to protect them, including a Soul Saint with spatial attributes and an eighth-level Soul Master.
This recording soul tool was sent urgently by a space-attribute Soul Saint at all costs. Under the high-intensity transmission, even the opponent's martial soul shattered.
Jing Hongchen slowly took off his glasses, sighed, and walked to a window, looking at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy outside.
"What a turbulent time!"
"What are those Holy Spirit Cult people up to now?"
"Making such a big commotion?"
"What is the Crown Prince thinking? Cooperating with these guys?"
As the head of Mingde Hall, he was naturally aware of the Holy Spirit Cult's existence and knew the sordid affairs behind the glamorous Sun Moon Empire.
He had always remained neutral, precisely because he didn't want to get involved in the royal family's internal strife.
In his view, as long as Mingde Hall was safe and his grandchildren were safe, he didn't care what happened within the royal family.
Jing Hongchen returned to the table and sat down, picking up the enthusiastically sent transaction list.
It involved many confidential soul tools, even four level-nine soul tools.
A bunch of combined soul tool arrays, and hundreds of soul tool shells of various levels.
These soul tools could arm an entire soul master regiment to the teeth.
He held the pen above the list for a long time, then his eyes narrowed, and he approved the list.
The reason for cooperating with Passion was that Jing Hongchen saw Passion's enormous potential.
Their power practically controlled half of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
They effectively controlled the entire Heavenly Dou Plain. Except for the entrance through the Star Dou Great Forest to Shrek Academy,
all other entrances within the Heavenly Soul Empire were in Passion's hands, meaning they controlled a vast amount of soul beast resources.
Not to mention the fast-food chain that was now spreading like a plague throughout the Sun Moon Empire—a terrifying money-making behemoth unlike anything he'd ever heard of.
Jing Hongchen couldn't see the future of the Sun Moon Empire clearly. He couldn't imagine that the Sun Moon Empire, ruled by the Holy Spirit Cult, could have a future!
Therefore, he wanted to leave himself a way out.
If one day domestic upheavals really affected Mingde Hall, he could take his grandchildren directly to Passion.
He loved the Sun Moon Empire! But the Sun Moon Empire might not love him back!
After signing the list, Jing Hongchen felt completely drained. He knew this list also meant that his passion was now deeply intertwined with the Mingde Hall.
In a sense, this was an act of treason!
Jing Hongchen said, his voice slightly choked, "What will become of our empire?"
