Chapter 158 Their titles are all Lung Mist?
On the day Lin Nuo returned to Mingdu, Jing Hongchen also learned of their return and found them immediately.
The first thing to do was to inquire about Xiao Hongchen's situation. Upon learning that Xiao Hongchen had not only obtained a 31,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear sixth spirit ring, but also obtained a right arm bone from the same part as his right palm bone, and was currently absorbing the spirit bone, Jing Hongchen was in a particularly good mood.
Although the soul bone's lifespan was only 30,000 years, Jing Hongchen was still very satisfied, after all, it came from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which was rare in the world.
Then, Jing Hongchen learned from Lin Nuo and Meng Hongchen about the various changes they had experienced during this Soul Hunt.
The journey there was smooth, and they arrived safely in the Star Dou Great Forest. However, not long after entering Star Dou, they ran into Shrek Academy's Soul Hunting Team. Lin Nuo easily killed two exceptionally talented young female Soul Douluos, which initially angered Shrek Academy.
Immediately afterwards, for reasons unknown, Shrek Academy sent a Title Douluo into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt them down. As a result, for some unknown reason, they ended up clashing with the ferocious beast king of the Star Dou Great Forest.
While they were locked in a fierce battle, Lin Nuo launched a sneak attack and killed two members of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion, then calmly left.
Lin Nuo expressed the same sentiment not only towards the mirror of the mortal world, but also towards Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.
After all, if he were to go into details, he would have to mention how he tricked the Three-Eyed Golden Man and how he reached a preliminary understanding with the Demon King, which would be too complicated to explain. So Lin Nuo kept things simple.
Anyway, let Jing Hongchen know that he killed two elders of the Sea God Pavilion in a sneak attack without taking any damage while Shrek Academy and the Star Dou Beast were fighting each other. Otherwise, when Mingde Hall and Shrek Academy were fighting, Jing Hongchen, the hall master, wouldn't even know why they were fighting.
Lin Nuo thought that Jing Hongchen would be shocked after hearing this, but he didn't show any reaction.
"What, you think I'd be surprised? I already knew you could rival a Title Douluo. With the aid of your soul tool and the natural advantage of a sneak attack, I'm not surprised at all that you could kill a Title Douluo." Jing Hongchen smiled slightly.
"Ahem, I was just worried that you didn't understand the seriousness of the matter." Lin Nuo coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.
"Come on, do you think I don't know how serious this is?" Jing Hongchen rolled her eyes. "I think you're just trying to show off in front of me, aren't you? Killing two elders of the Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion, even I couldn't do that. How impressive is that, huh?"
Are you trying to play this game in front of an old man like me?
You're still too young, lad.
Lin Nuo was speechless, while Meng Hongchen covered her mouth and chuckled to herself, amused by the bickering between the grandfather and grandson.
"In short, you don't need to worry about the aftermath of this matter. They just killed two Title Douluos. The Shrek Academy people don't dare to use this to start a war against our Sun Moon Empire. In fact, they don't even dare to spread this around." Jing Hongchen's lips curled up, his tone tinged with sarcasm.
Yes, unless Shrek really lost all sense of shame, how could they possibly publicize this so widely?
How so?
Could it be that our two Title Douluos from Shrek Academy, one at level 94 and the other at level 96, wanted to kill a Soul Saint from the Sun Moon Empire, but ended up being killed by that Soul Saint instead?
The phrase "fighting beyond one's level" had always been a hallmark of Shrek Academy, and they had indeed lived up to it. With the support of various resources and the nurturing of the Golden Tree, their combat strength was among the best of all Soul Masters of the same level on the continent.
As a result, this happened, and it was two rings ahead of them, not like the three-rings-to-five-rings situation at lower levels, but the seven-rings-to-nine-rings situation.
The seventh ring road crosses the ninth ring road.
Even for an 89th-level Soul Douluo, killing a 91st-level Title Douluo is no easy feat, even if the difference is only one or two levels.
For example, Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo from ten thousand years ago, was said to be a disgrace to the titled Douluo. Every titled Douluo could look down on him, but do you see if anyone below the titled Douluo level dared to provoke him?
The Dragon and Snake couple are awesome, right? Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill is comparable to that of a Title Douluo. But when they see Dugu Bo, they still have to respectfully call him "Poison Douluo, Your Majesty." Prince Xue Xing, an Imperial Prince and also an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, also has to treat Dugu Bo with respect and do his best to maintain their relationship.
It's no joke to wipe out your entire clan, leaving only Title Douluo. Although his poisonous arts played a part, it's enough to prove the huge gap between Title Douluo and those below that level.
This is not just about having one more spirit ring or one more spirit skill; it's about leading in all aspects of data.
This was true ten thousand years ago, and in this era ten thousand years later, where soul cores already exist, the gap between those with titles and those without will only widen.
Those who can fight against ninth-level opponents with non-ninth-level characters are all true geniuses, which also proves how worthless the title bestowed upon them is.
If they were to publicize this matter and use it as a pretext to wage war against Mingdetang and the Sun Moon Empire, they would certainly have a valid reason. But then what?
Tell the whole continent that all the Title Douluos of Shrek Academy are trash, one is level 96 and the other is level 94, and they were killed by a Soul Saint? And the opponent was a Soul Master whom they always looked down on?
This is not just a matter of losing face; it's downright self-destructive.
After this incident, the fact that a certain seventh-ring Soul Master from the Sun Moon Empire killed a Title Douluo and a Super Douluo from Shrek Academy, despite being of a higher level, will definitely be talked about by countless people on the Douluo Continent. Shrek Academy's prestige will undoubtedly plummet, while the prestige of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Mingde Hall will reach its highest level of popularity in history.
In this situation, the Sun Moon Empire would undoubtedly protect Linno to the death, because every day Linno lives, the world will remember Shrek's incompetence for another day.
Unless the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire is that idiot Zhao Gou, no matter how much pressure Shrek Academy puts on him, the Sun Moon Empire will not hand over Lin Nuo.
It is quite obvious that the current ruler of the Sun Moon Empire, Crown Prince Xu Tianran, is not a human being like Zhao Gou, so Jing Hongchen is not worried about Lin Nuo's safety at all.
As for assassination—
Then Jing Hongchen was even less worried. First of all, Lin Nuo himself was strong enough. In a one-on-one situation, Jing Hongchen didn't think anyone could kill him instantly. As long as no one could kill him instantly, Lin Nuo's powerful life attribute would make him like an unkillable cockroach, and he would be alive and kicking again in no time.
Secondly, Lin Nuo is a divine examiner, and even has a divine artifact protecting him.
Worried about Lin Nuo?
Only a fool would bother with such a thing.
