Chapter 146: Tickets are required to enter Mingde Hall
Jing Hongchen didn't recognize Moon, but he was still alert because the old man's clothes had the logo of a Shrek Academy elder on them.

"Which elder of Shrek is this senior? Didn't Xuanzi come?"

Mu En smiled slightly and said, "My last name is Mu, and I am the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion. Is this enough for me?"

Hearing this, Jing Hongchen's pupils shrank suddenly. He didn't know that Shrek had hidden such a great god whose status and strength were even more powerful than Xuanzi.

However, despite this, with Lu Xueling around, Jing Hongchen did not show much fear.

"My Shrek Academy students were injured by your students on the field. I don't want to say anything, but you have to help me heal them."

Moon told the other party his purpose in brief words, and his attitude was very gentle, and it sounded like he had no intention of causing trouble.

Jing Hongchen nodded slightly and said lightly: "In that case, you are a guest, please come in." As he spoke, he turned and walked towards Mingde Hall.

Now it was Moon's turn to be surprised. He was already surprised when he was discovered. With his cultivation at the level of Extreme Douluo, he was confident that as long as he didn't want anyone in Mingde Hall to discover his whereabouts, he would be able to do so.

But Jing Hongchen, who was only at the 93rd level of Titled Douluo, revealed his whereabouts in one sentence, and now he was directly invited to enter Mingde Hall.

Moon hesitated. It might be hard to get out of Mingde Hall because it was easy to get in! If he was not discovered, it would be fine. But if he was discovered and Jing Hongchen wanted to invite him in, that would be a big problem.

Jing Hongchen walked to the elevator door of Mingde Hall, turned around and smiled mockingly: "What? Senior, you claim to be the dignified leader of the Sea God Pavilion, but you dare not enter the door of my Mingde Hall? If so, what are you doing here, senior?"

Moon's right hand, which was leaning on the crutch, trembled slightly. After taking a deep breath, he quickly followed Jing Hongchen into the elevator.

Jing Hongchen showed a hint of smile at the corner of his mouth, secretly praising in his heart, "Mr. Lu Xueling is still powerful. If he were not here, I would not dare to invite someone more powerful than Xuanzi into Mingde Hall."

However, his last name is Mu, and he is also the head of Poseidon Pavilion... This figure in Shrek Academy seems to have become famous at least 50 years earlier, otherwise it is impossible that I have never heard of him.

Bringing Moon to the reception room, Jing Hongchen personally brought a recliner to him and made a gesture of invitation.

Moon didn't hesitate and sat down opposite Jing Hongchen with a smile on his face.

Neither of them spoke first, they just sat there looking at each other, but the air instantly felt as if it was about to solidify.

Moon was the first to show a surprised expression: "Has the soul guide of the Sun-Moon Empire developed to such an advanced level? It actually allows you to sit in front of this old man in peace."

Jing Hongchen smiled slightly and said, "I used to think that the research on soul guides has just entered its initial stage. The future world will definitely belong to soul guide technology. When one day they no longer rely on the soul power of soul masters as a driving force, then the profession of soul master will eventually be eliminated."

"What did you think before?" Moon repeated Jing Hongchen's four words.

Jing Hongchen's expression immediately showed a hint of enthusiasm: "Two years ago, Mr. Lu Xueling brought a new and powerful technological creation to our Sun-Moon Empire. We now call it [Honkai Technology]. Whether you, Senior Mu, believe it or not, this is a technology that is absolutely superior to soul guides! The future of the Sun-Moon Empire, and even the entire continent, will belong to the world of [Honkai Technology]!"

Moon rarely refuted: "I am a rough man who only knows how to practice martial arts. I will not comment on your almost fanatical dream."

Jing Hongchen laughed loudly, adding a bit of pride: "To tell you the truth, Senior Mu, in this finals, Huo Yuhao and Gu Youyue have such powerful strength because they learned [Honkai Technology] from Mr. Lu Xueling! Soul Master? Ha, it's outdated!"

"...Then, where is Xiaoxiao?" Moon wanted to ask for more information.

Jing Hongchen was about to speak, but calmed down and shook his head, saying, "I'm sorry, Senior Mu, I can't tell you about this matter."

"Haha, shouldn't the leader of Mingde Hall be second only to one person and above ten thousand people in the Sun-Moon Empire?"

Jing Hongchen waved his hands impatiently, "No room for negotiation."

If it were in the past, he would never dare to speak to Moon like this.

But what he didn't expect was that Moon didn't ask any more questions: "Okay then... So, regarding the treatment of my academy disciple Ma Xiaotao, you should be able to make the decision and agree to it, right?"

"This one……"

"I can decide."

The sensor door of the reception hall opened, and Lu Xueling walked in with nine syringes in his hand.

His appearance made Moon's face suddenly look stern, and his soul power began to stir faintly. From Jing Hongchen's words, he had such a secret ability that he was unaware of, so the identity of this person...

"Young man, are you the Mr. Lu Xueling mentioned by Jing Hongchen?"

Lu Xueling nodded slightly and threw nine syringes to Moon. "Depending on the injured part, you need three injections every month. Of course, the choice is yours. You don't have to trust me."

"Thank you." Moon took it and solemnly thanked the young man he had never met before.

Jing Hongchen also stood up and made a gesture to see him off: "Senior Mu, is there anything else you need? If not, you can leave. Mr. Lu and I still have research to do later."

Moon hesitated for a moment, but continued, "I have received news from your academy before, saying that you can exchange and learn with our Shrek Academy. But I heard that your academy finally plans to postpone it? If it is because of the unpleasantness in this Soul Fighting Competition, I think it is unnecessary. Shrek still has this kind of mind. A competition is a competition, and I will not regard the accidents as hatred. Besides... Xiaotao did kill one of your students... It can be regarded as her retribution."

Before Jing Hongchen could speak, Lu Xueling sneered, "Exchange and study? I want to ask you, Dragon God Douluo, do you think the current Shrek Academy is still worthy of it?"

"..."

After a long silence, Moon spoke again: "Although soul masters will eventually be eliminated, I think we should still take the essence and discard the dross... For example, I don't think the Sun-Moon Empire has mastered the soul core condensation practice method."

Click.

Only Lu Xueling heard clearly that Moon's right hand, which was hidden under his sleeve and was supporting the crutch, made a sound.

He nodded with a half-smile: "Okay, but I have to make it clear in advance that Huo Yuhao and Gu Youyue will never agree, because no one from Shrek is qualified to be compared with them. At most, we can let the grandchildren of the Red Dust Hall Master be exchanged."

Jing Hongchen stood aside, with an indescribable strange expression on his face and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitching.

"...Okay, it's a deal. One year from now, you will bring your people here. I will have Xuanzi send people to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy at the same time, and I will use Qian Mu Qian Fei to exchange for Jing Hong Chen's grandchildren. How do you think?"

Lu Xueling raised his hand and refused directly: "Not a year, just two months later. No room for negotiation!"

"……it is good."

"Then take care, senior." Jing Hongchen finally accepted the fact that these two big guys were going to exchange his two precious grandchildren.

After placing the nine syringes into the storage soul guide, Moon turned around, gathering his soul power at his feet, and said, "I'm leaving now."

"Wait!" Lu Xueling suddenly raised his hand again, and a distortion of space directly blocked Moon's soul power fluctuations.

Moon stopped moving and turned his head again stiffly: "Young man... do you still want to talk to an old man like me?"

Lu Xueling smiled calmly and said, "You are the first outsider to enter Haimingde Hall in many years. This place is not a place where anyone can come and go as they please."

"Leave behind three hundred thousand year old soul bones and a branch of the ancient golden tree, and they will serve as your ticket to Mingde Hall."

"..."

Moon's hunched body swayed visibly from side to side.

"Young man... not only do you have a big appetite, but you also know a lot about Shrek Academy..."

Lu Xueling smiled without saying anything, just looking at Moon calmly, but the latter was shocked to find that the surrounding walls, floors and roofs began to emit a faint purple-gold halo, and everything in the hall was completely blocked!

"My friend...Jing Hongchen, it was you two who invited this old man like me to enter Mingde Hall."

This time it was Jing Hongchen who snorted coldly: "But I don't remember inviting you to the capital of the Sun Moon Empire!"

blah blah.

Two crisp footsteps sounded in the room. Moon turned his head and saw a gray-haired woman with dragon horns leaning against the door, trimming her fingernails.
