Chapter 78 What Can You Bring Me?
Briefly withdrawing his gaze from Yun Ze, Jing Hongchen's face showed little emotion.
At this moment, he gave off a very friendly attitude.
But Yun Ze didn't see it that way.
"I've already reviewed your application materials. With your talent, even entering the continent's top Shrek Academy would be more than enough. In fact, if you wish, Shrek Academy would shower you with the best resources. Why choose my Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?"
Yun Ze's expression remained unchanged after hearing Jing Hongchen's words. "To be honest, compared to traditional Soul Masters, I believe the future of the continent belongs to Soul Tools. Especially for Soul Masters with outstanding talent and abilities, with the help of powerful Soul Tools, their strength will soar to a terrifying level."
"Is that why you enrolled?"
"Yes, that's why I enrolled."
"Very good." Jing Hongchen nodded. "The academy warmly welcomes students who love Soul Tools, especially geniuses like you who possess outstanding Soul Master talent and are willing to learn about Soul Tools."
"However... I have a question."
"Please speak, Dean."
"Your information shows that you possess a ten-thousand-year-old right leg bone, and its quality far surpasses that of ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul bones. Was this soul bone passed down from your ancestors?" Jing Hongchen said, her eyes narrowing slightly as she awaited Yun Ze's reply.
Yun Ze simply looked at Jing Hongchen, not speaking immediately.
"What, unwilling to speak?" Jing Hongchen suddenly laughed.
Yun Ze also smiled, "Dean, you must already have doubts about my identity, or rather, the identity listed in my information, right?"
Jing Hongchen's eyes flickered slightly, but quickly recovered. "Continue."
"You guessed right, this information was just something I wrote randomly." Yun Ze said, pulling a pendant from his collar.
Upon seeing the pendant, Jing Hongchen's eyes sharpened instantly, and his obese body abruptly stood up from his chair.
"How did you come to possess this?"
He stared intently at Yun Ze, his eyes filled with extreme confusion.
Yun Ze didn't answer, but instead pulled a token from the pendant.
On the token was clearly engraved a single character:
Snow!
"Perhaps you should know that there are countless hidden sects on the continent, their power varying greatly, but the foundation of each sect is far beyond what the outside world perceives." Yun Ze's expression was composed. "I, Yun Ze, am not a member of the Sun Moon Empire, but a disciple of the Snow Sect, a hidden sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire."
"Snow Sect?" Jing Hongchen looked at the token in Yun Ze's hand. Even though it was just a token, it sent a chill down his spine, a level 93 Title Douluo and a level 9 Soul Master.
It was definitely made by a top-tier expert!
"I've never heard of this sect."
"That's natural, because it's only in the last few years that my Snow Sect has gradually made some arrangements and taken some actions in the Northern Territory of Heavenly Soul. You're far away in Sun Moon Empire, so of course you haven't heard of it." Yun Ze smiled slightly.
"So, what exactly is your purpose in coming to the Sun Moon Empire and joining my Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?"
Yun Ze looked at Jing Hongchen. "Mingde Hall, as the most powerful soul master institution on the continent, has developed a constant stream of powerful soul tools."
"Even my Snow Sect has long coveted the soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire."
Jing Hongchen nodded slightly upon hearing this.
"Of course, the reason I'm willing to reveal my identity and speak with you here, Dean, is actually quite simple." Yun Ze said with a smile, "I hope that in the coming time, Dean, you can give me more support, and the academy can also give me more resources so that I can grow into a powerful soul master as soon as possible."
This young man...
as the head of Mingde Hall, the dean of a top academy on the continent, and even a high-ranking official in the entire empire's court, this was the first time in all these years that Jing Hongchen had encountered someone like this.
His purpose was extremely clear; he made no attempt to conceal it from the moment he entered the hall.
"Give me resources, and what will you bring me in return?" Jing Hongchen sat down again, his plump hands deftly brewing tea, appearing quite relaxed.
Yun Ze smiled slightly, "Not to mention the distant future, in the next Soul Master Competition, and the one after that, I will bring two champions to the academy."
"You should understand that giving you all the resources means I will groom you as the next leader of the academy, and even the Mingde Hall. This
is far from enough." "Of course." Yun Ze nodded, then paused slightly, a peculiar look appearing in his eyes, "What if I could bring Mingde Hall a powerful ally?" "An ally that is in no way inferior to any power or empire on the continent."
"Is that so?" Jing Hongchen smiled slightly. "Do you think I'm a fool?"
Yun Ze didn't answer, but just stood there.
With a whoosh, a figure quietly appeared beside Yun Ze.
Jing Hongchen's gaze suddenly became wary. What she saw was a girl who looked to be about ten years old. She appeared to be small and gave the impression of not having woken up properly.
But Jing Hongchen knew very well that the strength of the girl in front of her was definitely no less than that of a level 97 Super Douluo!
"This is Yun Ling, one of the elders of my Snow Sect." Yun Ze smiled slightly. "There are no fewer than fifteen elders like her in the Snow Sect."
Her eyes were fixed on the Demon Spirit King in front of her. After a moment, Jing Hongchen beckoned to Yun Ze. "Come here."
The Demon Spirit King glanced at Yun Ze, who smiled at her and stepped to Jing Hongchen's side.
"Tea is most flavorful when it's piping hot," Jing Hongchen said, handing a cup of tea to Yunze. "Try it."
"Thank you, Dean."
Yunze took the cup and sipped it.
It wasn't bitter at all; instead, the aroma lingered on his tongue, leaving a clear and refreshing aftertaste.
"Good tea," Yunze nodded.
Jing Hongchen looked at the Demon King not far away. "I know nothing about the Snow Sect behind you. Even if the powerful figure beside you is strong, it doesn't prove your claim of being able to contend with any empire."
"However, the academy still welcomes you." Jing Hongchen withdrew his gaze and looked back at Yunze.
He smiled slightly. "Yunze, welcome."
Yunze placed the teacup on the table in front of Jing Hongchen. "I'm honored to be admitted to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."
"You can leave now," Jing Hongchen said, then continued brewing his tea.
Yunze didn't hesitate and turned to leave.
He knew that Jing Hongchen hadn't agreed immediately because he needed time.
The Sun Moon Empire also harbors significant internal threats. The emperor is aging, and the princes are engaged in fierce power struggles.
Jing Hongchen values Mingde Hall, but he prioritizes his own family.
A sudden, powerful ally might not immediately make Jing Hongchen place all his hopes on Yunze.
However, from today onward, Yunze's actions within the Sun Moon Empire will have a much stronger backing!
The metal door opened and closed.
Jing Hongchen turned his gaze back to the doorway, a complex expression in his eyes.
After a long while
, he sighed softly and pressed a button on the table.
Soon after, a light, melodious voice echoed in the hall.
"Grandpa, you wanted to see me?"
Hearing the voice, a rare gentleness appeared on Jing Hongchen's face.
"Xiao Meng, could you come to Grandpa's for a moment?"
"Yes, I'm coming right now!"
