Chapter 39 Laughing at the World's Invitation.
Sunlight streamed obliquely through the glass window onto the desks during the break. Kong Xuan rested his chin on one hand, his eyes slightly closed.
However, he tapped the table rhythmically with his right thumb, a habitual gesture he made when practicing spear techniques.
"Brother Xuan!"
Xu Wei's voice suddenly rang in his ear, causing Kong Xuan's finger, which was about to strike, to stop in mid-air.
Someone is looking for you outside!
Kong Xuan opened her eyes, her golden pupils looking at Xu Wei: "Who is it?"
Xu Wei shook his head: "I don't know her either, but she's a very pretty girl, not much older than us."
Kong Ling, who was resting on the table, suddenly sat up upon hearing this and her gaze flickered as she looked at Xu Wei.
Kong Xuan frowned and glanced towards the classroom door.
Through the narrow gap at the corner of his eye, he saw a slender figure.
His brows relaxed, and his eyes darted left and right, as if he were thinking about something.
A moment later, he got up and walked outside.
After leaving her seat, Kong Ling also stood up.
But instead of following her brother, she went up to Xu Wei with a threatening expression: "What kind of person is the one who's looking for my brother? What did she say?"
Xu Wei didn't understand why Kong Ling reacted so strongly, but under her dangerous gaze, he honestly replied, "Uh... she must be a senior student. She said she was looking for Brother Xuan."
"Senior?"
"Is she very good-looking?"
Xu Wei's mind flashed back to the pretty face that had appeared before him not long ago: "She was very beautiful, with red hair, blue eyes, and fair skin..."
Just as Xu Wei was describing the other person with her limited vocabulary in the classroom, Kong Xuan had already walked out of the classroom and stood in front of her.
Despite it being their first meeting, Kong Xuan could already guess the other person's identity based on their highly recognizable hair color.
Dream of the mortal world!
The granddaughter of Dean Jing Hongchen, a genius girl in the academy.
Kong Xuan had no idea why this girl, with whom he had no connection at the moment, would suddenly come to his door.
Thanks to her age, Meng Hongchen can now look down on Kong Xuan.
Despite appearing outwardly calm, Meng Hongchen was inwardly screaming.
"Golden eyes are so cool!"
"She's still so young, she looks so cute."
"If a few more years pass, he'll definitely be more handsome than my older brother!"
...
Just as Meng Hongchen was lost in thought, Kong Xuan spoke up: "Miss Hongchen, are you looking for me?"
Meng Hongchen was taken aback when she heard this, not expecting that Kong Xuan, this "little cutie," would address her in such a way.
The title "Miss Hongchen" is too formal.
However, seeing Kong Xuan's serious expression, she didn't feel presumptuous at all; on the contrary, she found it quite interesting.
After a moment of surprise, Meng Hongchen smiled and asked, "You know me?"
Kong Xuan simply nodded without offering any further explanation.
Although Meng Hongchen was infatuated for a while, she did not forget the purpose of her visit.
Her expression turned serious, and she said, "Actually, to be precise, it wasn't me looking for you, but my brother."
"Laughing at the mortal world?"
The name popped into Kong Xuan's mind.
Meng Hongchen then said, "He's right outside. Do you want to go see him?"
Although he didn't know the purpose of the two siblings, since he had already left the classroom, Kong Xuan naturally wouldn't go back without figuring it out.
However, Kong Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't he come directly to me?"
Meng Hongchen blinked her icy blue eyes and smiled, "This isn't the place to talk, after all."
The truth is that Xiao Hongchen originally intended to go directly to Kong Xuan, but was stopped by her sister, who took on the job herself.
When Kong Xuan followed Meng Hongchen out of the teaching building, he thought that the so-called "place to talk" would at least be in a quiet room, but he didn't expect it to be right outside the teaching building!
On the roadside directly opposite the teaching building, Xiao Hongchen was leaning against a tree, seemingly posing deliberately, looking both melancholy and mysterious.
When people are speechless, they really are speechless.
Even though he had already seen the two of them appear, Xiao Hongchen's gaze remained fixed on the distance.
Only after the two crossed the road and came to his side did Xiao Hongchen slowly turn his gaze away and look at Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan was speechless, only feeling that ten-year-old Xiao Hongchen had some potential to be a goofball.
And this is clearly a case of pretending not to understand!
"You were looking for me?"
Kong Xuan's straightforward remark disrupted the mysterious atmosphere that Xiao Hongchen had been trying to create.
Xiao Hongchen crossed his arms and said calmly, "Meng should have already introduced our identities to you..."
He was completely oblivious to his sister's frantic winks and continued talking to himself.
Seeing his older brother like this, Meng Hongchen was so embarrassed he wanted to dig his nose in the ground.
She stepped forward and tugged at Xiao Hongchen's sleeve: "Brother! I didn't need to introduce us at all; Kong Xuan already knew about us."
"Um?"
Xiao Hongchen turned to look at his younger sister, and his expression changed instantly.
When he turned his gaze back to Kong Xuan, he had straightened up from leaning against the tree and lowered his arms.
"cough!"
He coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness.
Xiao Hongchen then appeared much more normal and said, "I've come here to invite you to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament four years from now."
Kong Xuan was somewhat surprised to hear this, not expecting that the other party had come to him for this purpose.
Kong Xuan was naturally familiar with the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, a competition that had been going on for tens of thousands of years.
"Four years later I will be only twelve years old, and as far as I know, the requirement for participating in this competition is that the participants must be Soul Masters under the age of twenty."
"Aren't you inviting me now? Isn't it a bit too early?"
In response to Kong Xuan's question, Xiao Hongchen replied frankly, "It is indeed too early for most people, but you are different!"
"You can defeat a four-ring Soul Master even at the second ring level now. I believe that in four years, your strength will be no less than that of the inner court students of Shrek Academy!"
It seems that Xiao Hongchen is quite confident in Kong Xuan's future strength, and in his eyes, the only enemy is Shrek Academy.
It must be said that at this moment, Xiao Hongchen's words truly give people a feeling of mutual appreciation between geniuses.
His confident and domineering manner made it seem as if even the inner court students of Shrek Academy were no more than that!
Xiao Hongchen was indeed a genius, but Kong Xuan knew that in the original storyline, he ultimately paid a heavy price for his pride.
"Don't the participants need to be selected? Even if you're the dean's grandson, you can't be directly selected, can you?"
Xiao Hongchen laughed and said, "Geniuses naturally have their own way of choosing."
Kong Xuan asked, "It seems you've already decided to take one of the spots?"
"That's right!" Xiao Hongchen said confidently, "With four years, I will definitely be able to advance to the Soul King level. Coupled with my talent as a Soul Instructor, I will be more than qualified to become a regular member of the team. At that time, I will even be able to fight against the Soul Emperor of Shrek Academy!"
Four years later, Xiao Hongchen did indeed advance to become a Soul King, and when he participated in the competition, he certainly had a cool and arrogant demeanor.
But in the end, they were defeated by the incomplete Shrek team and became depressed, so they can only be described as a supporting character destined for failure.
However, Kong Xuan remembered that Xiao Hongchen was able to advance to Soul King at the age of fourteen entirely because he was taking drugs.
I wonder if Xiao Hongchen's current Soul Venerable cultivation level was also forcibly increased by drugs?
