Chapter 136. The Sea God's Pavilion has an Entrance Fee
Jing Hongchen nodded his head and said, “Yes, you’re right. The stronger the person using the soul tool, the higher the limit of the soul tool.”
“We’ve yet to develop soul tools that are powerful enough to be used without a soul master apart from stationary soul tools. I can’t predict any future developments. But the rise of soul engineers can’t be stopped, just like how soul tools replaced cold weapons.” He sounded very sincere, but he was actually very baffled in his heart. Had Elder Mu gone to the Illustrious Virtue Hall before? “If such an unpredictable, Transcendent Douluo has gone there before…” He broke out in a cold sweat.
Elder Mu smiled and said, “You can’t bring the Judgement Sword with you. You can tell me what you’re here for. If you point soul tools towards Shrek City from outside Shrek Academy again, I will pay a visit to the Sun Moon Empire’s capital.”
Jing Hongchen’s expression finally changed. Why was he daring enough to enter Shrek Academy? He didn’t only possess Class 9 automatic soul tools. He also had his setup outside. But he didn’t expect Elder Mu to know about this. As he recalled Elder Mu’s avatar, he became fearful for the first time since he took up the position of Hallmaster of the Illustrious Virtue Hall.
“Elder Mu, you’re indeed admirable.” He bowed slightly and tried his best to repress the shock that he felt. “I’m here for another reason. Many months ago, Shrek Academy agreed to an exchange between our academy’s students. But it was put aside for some reason. Both the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy and Shrek Academy are top-ranked academies in the continent now. I believe that this exchange is necessary, and I feel that it will improve integration and learning between both parties.”
Elder Mu answered, “It’s fine for us to have an exchange, but can you ensure the safety of my students? In addition, what can my Shrek students learn from your academy?”
Jing Hongchen seemed to have expected this question, and answered without any hesitation, “I can ensure their complete safety, and I’ll swear to that by the Illustrious Virtue Hall’s honor. During the exchange period, your students will receive the best guidance. If they’re capable enough, they can even enter the Illustrious Virtue Hall to learn.”
Elder Mu replied, “There’s no evidence to prove your words.”
Jing Hongchen said, “If you’re worried, you can send Shrek Academy’s teachers with them. You can even send many of them to tag along.”
