Chapter 278

279. Chapter 279: Camping Out for Long Xiaoyao, Forbidden Soul Arena

"Hehehe, there have been quite a few geniuses in history, but one as monstrous as you is unheard of..." Jing Hongchen gave a bitter smile.

In his eyes, Xiao Hongchen's talent was already considered perverted. He even felt that even if Xiao Hongchen were placed in Shrek, where monsters emerged in large numbers, he would still be among the best.

But who could have thought that such a monster as Bai Zhou would appear in this world...

Of course, to be able to cultivate Bai Zhou to this point, the resources consumed must be extremely terrifying. He didn't believe that anyone could cultivate to this point relying purely on talent.

So this could also explain from the side that the force behind Bai Zhou was absolutely terrifying! Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to cultivate a genius to this point!

"Alright, Brother Hongchen, you are at your age, I still advise you to mind your own business less. For Meng Hongchen's sake, I won't hold it against you."

Bai Zhou waved his hand and released Jing Hongchen.

After Bai Zhou's "treatment" with Holy Light, the external injuries on Meng Hongchen's body were basically healed, but there might still be internal injuries, and well, the psychological trauma wasn't light either...

Bai Zhou couldn't treat this thing.

"Thank you... since I lost, I admit defeat. No matter what the force behind you wants to do, I won't interfere..."

Jing Hongchen gave a wry smile, then looked at Bai Zhou, but still couldn't help but say: "As for you and Little Meng, I won't stop you either. I hope you treat her well..."

Putting other things aside, Meng Hongchen being with Bai Zhou could even be said to be climbing high.

As long as Bai Zhou's character was passable, Meng Hongchen could not only live very happily, but in the future, she might even be able to take the Hongchen family to soar together...

Thinking of this, Jing Hongchen's mind became active, and he felt that the beating he received today wasn't in vain. At least he had slightly drawn closer to Bai Zhou...

Mingdu was very likely to fall into great chaos now. If he could join the force behind Bai Zhou, it seemed not bad...

At least it was much better than cooperating with those evil soul masters who were like dog shit.

"Hmm, I will treat her well. But during this period, you should still keep a closer eye on her, to avoid any accidents." Bai Zhou nodded and said.

Although he was in the academy, he also knew about the things that had happened in Mingdu recently. Many factions had been wiped out inexplicably, with blood flowing like a river.

It was just that these had all been suppressed and hadn't spread.

Now it was very chaotic outside, with all kinds of monsters and demons jumping out, most of whom actually came from other places to stir up trouble.

If Meng Hongchen ran around alone, she might really encounter danger.

"Thank you."

Although Jing Hongchen's gaze was complex, he still bowed slightly to Bai Zhou to express his gratitude.

On one hand, it was to thank Bai Zhou for sparing his life; on the other hand, it was also to thank Bai Zhou for taking care of Meng Hongchen.

Troubled times were coming, and the Hongchen family might also face turmoil. Having such a super monster as Bai Zhou to protect them was still very comfortable.

Watching Jing Hongchen return to Mingdu, Bai Zhou didn't go back.

Calculating the time, the Holy Spirit Sect should also have a big move soon...

Although he had detected quite a few Holy Spirit Sect members in the city, he hadn't discovered any too strong existences. Currently, the ones sitting in Mingdu were two Titled Douluo. One was the Sky Centipede Douluo Nangong Wan, and the other was the Masked Douluo.

Nangong Wan was an Assault System soul master, and the Masked Douluo was a Control System soul master. With the two of them cooperating, plus the amplification of evil soul masters, even a Super Douluo wouldn't be a match for the two of them.

The two of them sitting in the Holy Spirit Sect's branch in Mingdu was more than enough. Such a big thing happened in Mingdu, so these two naturally began to investigate in secret... of course, they hadn't found anything.

But it seemed they hadn't found anything, yet they could draw a conclusion—the force behind the mastermind who caused all this was absolutely extraordinarily powerful!

This was also the recognized speculation among the high-level officials in Mingdu!

After all, no one would think that all this was caused by one person.

Even if someone really could kill the Third Prince and Xu Tianran at the same time, then... what was the motive???

Just like most criminal cases, the murderer had to have a motive for the crime.

The big shots in Mingdu racked their brains and couldn't think of the murderer's motive, so the speculation that there was only one murderer was denied by most people.

Instead, there was a mysterious force hidden behind the scenes that wanted to overthrow the imperial family and change the dynasty, so assassinating the two most promising heirs of this generation was very reasonable.

The Holy Spirit Sect had the idea of becoming the "state religion" of the Sun Moon Empire, and even more so, they wanted the status of the state religion to override imperial power in the future! And now, a mysterious force had suddenly emerged, so they were naturally very wary.

Nangong Wan and the Masked Douluo couldn't find the mastermind, so naturally, more advanced powerhouses would come to investigate.

Bai Zhou could only think of four people—Zhongli Wu, Feng Ling, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui.

Ye Xishui was a big shot and basically wouldn't go out.

Zhongli Wu, as the son of the two and the current Sect Master of the Holy Spirit Sect, had a smaller possibility of coming to investigate personally. Instead, his wife Feng Ling might come over.

After all, Feng Ling was originally responsible for all affairs of the Holy Spirit Sect's soul tool department in Mingdu, but she hadn't been in Mingdu recently, and Bai Zhou hadn't felt her aura.

The last possibility was Long Xiaoyao. This old man was very idle on weekdays, and because of his indebtedness to Ye Xishui, he had been completely trained by Ye Xishui to be like a dog, obeying her every word, working hard without complaint, and doing all the dirty and tiring work.

Plus, Long Xiaoyao had the strength of a Level 99 Limit Douluo, and could even be said to be invincible in the world.

This time, the drastic change in Mingdu was very likely Long Xiaoyao coming to investigate.

Although Bai Zhou's current combat power was very strong, it hadn't reached the level of a Limit Douluo. His comprehensive combat power might be on par with Long Xiaoyao.

After all, only his spiritual power was higher than Long Xiaoyao's. Other means could bully trash Super Douluo, but if he faced a fierce person like Long Xiaoyao, he still couldn't reach the level of crushing him.

He couldn't do anything to Long Xiaoyao, but Long Xiaoyao couldn't do anything to him either. As long as he wanted to leave, no one could really stop him.

Precisely because of this, Bai Zhou had made full preparations this time—cheating again! For the sake of insurance, it could also be said to increase the success rate of the wish, Bai Zhou didn't wish for any item that could directly take down Long Xiaoyao, but instead got a very fair and ordinary item—the Forbidden Soul Arena.

Perhaps this item was truly relatively ordinary, so Bai Zhou obtained it on his first wish.

As the name suggested, this item could pull himself and his opponent into a special space. In this space, no soul skills could be used. The sealing effect lasted for 1 hour. During this period, both sides couldn't leave the arena unless one person died.

This was somewhat similar to the now-extinct "City of Slaughter," and its principle was to block the effects of soul rings.

After all, a soul master's soul rings were accurately speaking actually external objects, not abilities cultivated by oneself. If the soul rings were blocked or shattered, naturally, one couldn't use soul skills. No matter how thick the soul power was, it was in vain.

It could be said to be pulling the firewood from under the cauldron! It could almost be said to directly cripple a soul master.

And Bai Zhou had various movement martial arts, which were his own abilities. This kind of ability was completely unrestricted. Besides that, soul bone soul skills could also be used, just like self-created soul skills.

In a situation where soul skills were used, Bai Zhou might not be able to do anything to Long Xiaoyao.

But in a situation where soul skills weren't used, Bai Zhou was confident he could beat Long Xiaoyao up.
