DD2—Chapter 216: Ji Juechen's Rematch
This time, Kong Deming did not bring too many Title Douluo. He only brought Jing Hongchen, Star Douluo Ye Yulin, and Luanfeng, so there are currently four ninth-level soul engineers on this ship.
These three people have studied with him. Strictly speaking, Kong Deming has taught these three. The ninth-level soul engineers of the Sun Moon Empire all call Kong Deming "Elder Kong." On the one hand, this is because of Kong Deming's age and reputation; on the other hand, everyone has received Kong Deming's guidance in soul engineering.
As the leader of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Engineers, Kong Deming's prestige in the hearts of most ninth-level soul engineers is even higher than that of the royal family. If Kong Deming is promoted to the first tenth-level soul engineer in the world, he will be the guiding light for all ninth-level soul engineers!
Huo Yuhao and his group quickly landed on the deck with the help of the flying soul guidance devices, making a crisp "click" sound. Huo Yuhao raised his head and looked at Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen in the air, saying, "Elder Kong, Dean, we can start now."
"Yes." Kong Deming nodded. His eyes swept over the three people present and said, "One person is missing. Hongchen, you are more familiar with the students of the academy than I am. You pick another one."
He has been studying tenth-level soul guidance devices in the laboratory for many years. For the students of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, he only knows a few well-known ones. For the rest of the students, he naturally doesn't know their situation, and can only let Jing Hongchen make the decision.
Jing Hongchen thought for a moment, then looked at the students at the other end of the deck and said, "All students, come and watch the second awakening of the martial soul."
Soon, a large number of students rushed over using flying soul guidance devices, with excitement on their faces. After all, this is a good opportunity to watch the second awakening of the martial soul. Although Huo Yuhao's method of second awakening may sound a bit ridiculous at first, once it succeeds, it will benefit everyone.
Jing Hongchen's eyes swept over the students, and soon, he locked on a person who was very hardworking and had excellent willpower. Then he said, "Ji Juechen, step out. You and Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen will participate in the second awakening of the martial soul together."
Hearing this, Ji Juechen immediately walked out of the team and stepped to Huo Yuhao's side.
Although he was defeated by Huo Yuhao, he was still as sharp as a sword.
"Pagoda Master, when the second awakening of the martial soul is completed, I want to challenge you again!" Ji Juechen said to Huo Yuhao very seriously.
Huo Yuhao noticed that when the other party said this, his eyes seemed to be shining, and his face was fanatical, just like a battle maniac.
Huo Yuhao was a little helpless. Ji Juechen could not beat him at all. Once they fought, it would be a complete crushing game. After all, Huo Yuhao's soul and soul bone were not taken for nothing. However, if you think about it carefully, showing your strength can make other students trust you more.
After all, these students have been carefully selected by Jing Hongchen, and they are people of the Spirit Pagoda. It is necessary to show your strength in front of these "subordinates" occasionally.
Before Huo Yuhao could respond, Xiao Hongchen nearby immediately said, "Ji Juechen, why don't you give me this opportunity?
I heard from my grandfather that Yuhao's strength has improved by leaps and bounds and has reached the Soul King level. If I fight Yuhao, it won't be considered bullying. But you, a Soul Emperor with a very strong combat level, want to challenge Yuhao? Isn't this bullying?"
Ji Juechen frowned slightly: "In front of the Pagoda master, no Soul Emperor dares to claim that he has a very strong combat level.
I once lost to the pagoda master when he was still a Soul Ancestor. Now I have the opportunity to become stronger. After I become stronger, I will naturally continue to challenge the pagoda master."
He didn't have any grudge against Huo Yuhao. He simply liked to fight and enjoyed the fun of fighting. He also took this opportunity to sharpen his sword and make himself stronger.
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Ji Juechen is the chief of the actual control soul guidance department. Although he is not good at making soul guidance devices, he is extremely skilled at actual combat. Even ordinary soul saints cannot defeat Ji Juechen.
Xiao Hongchen frowned: "Ji Juechen, I thought you were an upright person. Why are you lying now?
Yuhao is a peerless genius and will become the pillar of the Sun Moon Empire in the future. But he is too young and cannot compare with you in cultivation. If you want to fight, we will fight later!"
Ji Juechen's face was indifferent. He was not a talkative person, so in the face of Xiao Hongchen's accusations, he chose to hold the sword in his hand.
At worst, he would fight Xiao Hongchen. He must challenge Huo Yuhao again.
Whether Huo Yuhao accepts it or not is Huo Yuhao's freedom, but Ji Juechen, who prevents him from challenging, is indeed a roadblock.
"Xiao, Ji Juechen lost to Junior Brother Yuhao." Meng Hongchen said.
"What?"
Xiao Hongchen was a little confused by this heavy news.
But Meng Hongchen would never deceive himself on such matters, so he subconsciously looked at Huo Yuhao, feeling that the other party was a little too strong.
Huo Yuhao said, "I accept Ji Juechen's challenge, but the challenge needs to wait until the second awakening of the martial soul is over."
Hearing this, Ji Juechen's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth involuntarily.
Xiao Hongchen looked like he had seen a ghost because, in all these years at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, he had never seen Ji Juechen smile.
He even thought that Ji Juechen was born unable to smile. After all, who would have a stern face all day long, wandering around with a sword, ready to challenge others at any time?
But, are you so happy to be able to fight Huo Yuhao?
Xiao Hongchen was puzzled.
"Ahem," Jing Hongchen coughed a few times, then said, "Okay, the second awakening of the martial soul is the most important thing at the moment.
According to Yuhao's method, you need to dive into the sea during the second awakening of the martial soul. Everyone, let's start now."
Huo Yuhao immediately notified the plane consciousness and then sealed his memory of the "escape route."
He immediately jumped into the sea, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, Huo Yuhao's figure was soon swallowed by the endless waves.
The other three also jumped into the sea, and then the four ninth-level soul engineers took action. They pushed the group into the depths of the sea according to the plan proposed by Huo Yuhao earlier.
The waves surged, and the water pressure felt by Huo Yuhao and his group became stronger and stronger.
They subconsciously used their soul power, but under the suppression of the Titled Douluo, their attempts were in vain. At this moment, they could not shout or breathe.
Gradually, Huo Yuhao and his group felt that their lungs were about to explode.
After a while, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen swam to the surface of the sea and were rescued, while Ji Juechen, a man with strong willpower and good physical fitness, still held on.
As for Huo Yuhao, because of his good physical fitness, even if his lungs were a little uncomfortable, he could still hold on, and there was no need to swim to the surface of the sea.
