Chapter 136.2: The Sea God's Pavilion has an Entrance Fee
Furthermore, it has a unique activation method.
It can only form an Invincible Barrier capable of lasting a full 15 seconds when its core formation is activated using this method. The defensive strength of this barrier can reach up to three times the users cultivation. The reason that its classified as a Class 9 soul tool is because of this Invincible Barrier. However, it can only be activated like this once before it needs to be recharged, but it doesnt have to be manually charged. When the user cultivates, it will naturally charge itself with the required soul power over timearound three days. Of course, the user can also charge it deliberately. Doing so will take an entire day and night of meditation, during which the user will have to inject all of their soul power into the soul tool.
Elder Xuan was shocked when he heard Jing Hongchens introduction. He realized that Jing Hongchen truly had the ability to get out of almost any dangerous situation with this Class 9 soul tool, despite his cultivation only being Rank 93. No wonder hed dared to sneak into Shrek Academy.
Elder Mu nodded, and Jing Hongchen felt that the weight in his hands disappear as Hongchens Blessing appeared in front of Elder Mu. Elder Mu squinted his eyes and lifted it in front of him. He then said, Youre able to adapt well; no wonder the Illustrious Virtue Hall is improving every day under your leadership. You may leave now. However, if you intend on coming here without permission again, I hope that youre fully confident. If you arent, your entrance fee wont be as simple as just one Class 9 soul tool.
Jing Hongchen revealed a smile on his face. Even though it was bitter, it was also filled with stubbornness. He bowed slightly towards Elder Mu, then turned to leave.
Once hed left the Sea Gods Pavilion, he leapt up into the air, and a pair of dark golden wings opened behind his back. He disappeared almost instantly; he wasnt willing to remain in Shrek Academy even a second longer.
Jing Hongchen had wanted to get back what belonged to him, yet had ended up suffering even more losses. He hadnt managed to get back the Class 8 Judgement Sword, and had even lost a Class 9 soul tool. Its important to know that Shrek Academy hadnt had a Class 9 soul tool prior to this, as Class 9 soul tools were only utilized for strategic purposes even in the Sun Moon empire. Even though the Class 9 soul tool that Jing Hongchen had given Shrek wasnt the best, it wasnt the worst either. Hed chosen Hongchens Blessing because it wasnt offensive at all; its core formation was very resilient, and wouldnt be overcome easily.
However, Jing Hongchen wasnt exactly returning empty-handed. Hed seen Elder Mu, and had gained an even deeper sense of Shreks background. This had been his greatest reward. Furthermore, hed made other arrangements; failure was the mother of success. He wasnt afraid of being repressed for once. Despite how depressed he felt, Jing Hongchen had several other ideas.
However, he almost spat blood when he reached the soul tools that hed set up beforehand.
Jing Hongchen had set up eight automatic soul tools over a thousand meter distance before hed entered Shrek Academy. Four of them were Class 9 soul tools, while the other four were Class 8 soul tools. With them in place, he could remotely mount an attack on Shrek Academy and Shrek City with the push of a button. Even the most powerful individuals wouldnt be able to resist an attack of such a magnitude without sufficient preparation. They might be able to escape, but ordinary soul masters and all of the buildings present would be destroyed.
But when he reached the locations where hed placed these Class 8 soul tools, he realized that only traces of them were left behindall of them had disappeared. He immediately realized that Elder Mu mustve done something to them. He used his remote to test them out, but didnt get a reaction. It was obvious that their receivers had been destroyed.
