Chapter 40 Kong Xuan: With me here, that's enough!
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, this brother and sister pair, are undoubtedly geniuses.
However, within the context of the Sun Moon Empire, relying on drugs to enhance one's strength seems to have become the norm.
However, while this can speed up cultivation in the early stages, it poses serious hidden dangers in the later stages.
In the original story, the brother and sister's cultivation slowed down after reaching level 70, and they were even stuck at level 89, unable to break through to the title of Douluo for many years.
Now that Kong Xuan is a member of the Sun Moon Empire, he feels it is necessary to remind the two genius siblings.
Kong Xuan looked at the two of them and asked, "Have you started using drugs to enhance your soul power yet?"
"Of course!"
"Without medicine, I couldn't possibly break through to the Soul Venerable realm right now."
Xiao Hongchen spoke without any hesitation, seemingly even proud of it, which shows the cultivation atmosphere of the Soul Masters on the Sun and Moon side.
However, as he laughed, Xiao Hongchen's smile disappeared.
He wasn't stupid. Looking at the expression on Kong Xuan's face, he suddenly realized a terrible fact.
"Didn't you increase your cultivation level with the help of drugs?!"
Pills that enhance soul power are not cheap; most people can't afford them.
However, in Xiao Hongchen's opinion, given Kong Xuan's status, he could naturally eat pills like candy.
But Kong Xuan's expression at this moment, coupled with his previous question, seemed to indicate a possibility that Xiao Hongchen was unwilling to believe.
Looking at Xiao Hongchen's wide eyes, Kong Xuan shook his head: "I have indeed never taken any drugs to enhance my soul power!"
"impossible!"
Upon receiving Kong Xuan's reply, Xiao Hongchen's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Absolutely impossible."
Meng Hongchen, standing beside him, also stared at Kong Xuan in shock, stunned by his answer.
"How could you possibly break through to the Great Soul Master level at this age without taking any pills?!"
Kong Xuan remained calm and countered, "Have you ever seen a Soul Master with two rings defeat a Soul Master with four rings?"
Of course the two had seen it before, and not long ago, they had witnessed it in the Soul Arena. It was none other than Kong Xuan who had created this impossible victory!
Thinking of Kong Xuan's terrifying record, the two of them knew they couldn't look at Kong Xuan with conventional thinking, and they actually accepted this fact to some extent.
The two were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time. Kong Xuan then spoke up: "Although the medicine can quickly improve your soul power cultivation, the drawbacks of taking the medicine will become apparent after level 70. The cultivation speed will be greatly reduced, and the difficulty of breaking through the bottleneck will also be greatly increased."
After a long silence, Xiao Hongchen's pride faded.
"I know all that you're talking about."
His tone was low, as if he were somewhat helpless.
He then looked up sharply at Kong Xuan, his voice hoarse, and said, "But if we don't rely on medicine to improve our cultivation, how can we defeat Shrek Academy?"
"For four thousand years, we have never won once!"
Kong Xuan never expected that Xiao Hongchen, who was only ten years old, would have to shoulder the burden of thousands of years.
I really don't know whether to admire his sense of responsibility or laugh at his overestimation of his abilities!
Kong Xuan advised, "You're only ten years old. You'll only be fourteen in four years. What's wrong with waiting another year?"
"I can wait, but I'm not willing to wait."
A stubborn glint flashed in Xiao Hongchen's eyes, and his tone was filled with resentment: "Everyone says that Shrek Academy is a place that produces geniuses, so why can't we, the Sun Moon Academy, produce geniuses? Why can't we break through to the Soul King level at the age of fourteen? How can we be superior to Shrek in terms of geniuses!"
Kong Xuan then understood what Xiao Hongchen was thinking. This proud and talented young man was actually holding a grudge over this.
He suddenly laughed and said in a relaxed tone, "If this is your purpose, then there's no need to rely on drugs to forcibly improve your cultivation."
Xiao Hongchen was bewildered by Kong Xuan's sudden words and didn't understand what he meant.
However, Kong Xuan didn't keep him waiting long, and then his confident voice rang out: "Because I'm here!"
"Whether it's outshining Shrek Academy in terms of talent, or defeating Shrek Academy in the Soul Fighting Tournament to bring the championship back to Sun Moon Academy..."
"With me here, we can do it all!"
"Hahaha!" Xiao Hongchen suddenly laughed, pointing at Kong Xuan and saying, "I thought I was arrogant enough, but I didn't expect to meet someone even more arrogant than me today!"
Kong Xuan merely glanced at him: "I accept your invitation."
"However, as I said before, forcing you to take medication is squeezing out your potential."
"If you want to beat Shrek Academy, I'm enough."
"As for whether you continue taking the medication, I have said my piece, the decision is yours."
After saying that, Kong Xuan turned around and went back to the teaching building. The bell for class had already rung.
Watching Kong Xuan's figure disappear at the entrance of the teaching building, Meng Hongchen's cheeks flushed slightly, and her icy blue eyes shimmered with tears: "So handsome!"
Seeing this, Xiao Hongchen sighed and slapped his forehead with his left hand, looking helpless.
"Brother, with Kong Xuan's talent, he might really be able to do what he said."
Hearing her younger sister say those words, Xiao Hongchen had to admit that this wasn't just something she said after being infatuated with a boy.
Given the strength Kong Xuan has shown so far, he can't even imagine how powerful he will be in four years.
"Perhaps!"
When Xiao Hongchen uttered these three words, he seemed to be talking about the uncertainty of the outcome, but wasn't this also a kind of acknowledgment?
Meng Hongchen then asked, "Should we continue taking Soul Ascension Pills?"
This time, Xiao Hongchen did not answer directly, clearly because Kong Xuan's words had shaken him.
After a moment, Xiao Hongchen said with a conflicted expression, "Let's talk about it later. Anyway, there's still a month until the next pill."
After saying that, he couldn't help but glance in the direction of the teaching building ahead: "I have a feeling that this time... we might really succeed!"
...
The fifth floor of the second teaching building belonging to the Soul Guidance Department of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
After walking several dozen meters into the corridor, Kong Xuan finally stopped in front of a heavy metal door.
Looking up, you can see a sign above the metal door that reads "Third Laboratory".
Kong Xuan took out a metal access card from his storage soul tool and swiped it on the crystal base at the door.
With a "beep", the heavy metal door slowly slid open.
As soon as the door opened, a unique aura mixed with metal and soul power rushed out, an aura that Kong Xuan had encountered many times before coming to the academy.
The laboratory is very large, with twelve floating soul-guided workbenches arranged in a ring, each shrouded in a light blue protective field.
Although Kong Xuan did not specifically study soul guidance knowledge, he had gained some understanding by following Kong Deming for two years.
Upon entering the laboratory, he glanced around and immediately noticed that the workbenches were covered with various rare metals.
Although there are many different kinds, they are arranged very neatly and do not look messy.
This third laboratory was specifically assigned to Xuan Ziwen by the academy, so Kong Xuan's purpose in coming here today was naturally to find his uncle, Xuan Ziwen.
However, the figure of Uncle Xuan Ziwen working at his desk, as expected, did not appear. Instead, a strange young girl came into view.
The child looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, with long, black hair tied into a neat ponytail, and a pair of bright, lively eyes. In particular, the skin was soft and smooth, as if water could be squeezed out if pinched.
Hearing the laboratory door open, she put down the half-carved soul core in her hand and looked up in the direction of the door.
"Who are you? How do you have a lab access card?"
Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her eyes held a hint of wariness.
