Chapter 14: Hall Master Jing: Can I have them all?
"It seems Hall Master Jing isn't so foolish after all."
Hall Master Jing:
If you didn't have a power behind you that I fear, I would absolutely tear your arrogance and mouth to shreds!
"However, Hall Master, you've got one thing wrong. My backing power does intend to do business with you, but that doesn't represent me personally. I'm just a messenger," Jin Tianming said with a smile. "It's my own idea to come and study Soul Guidance Devices, not those guys' idea."
Hall Master Jing didn't speak. He sat there quietly, stroking his chin, his gaze fixed on Jin Tianming. He seemed to want to see through this young man. It was the first time he had encountered such a youth, it truly was...
"How will we conduct the transaction?" Hall Master Jing asked curiously. If the transaction was feasible, he was still willing to proceed.
"I need a Nine-Level Soul Guide to be my teacher."
"Is that your requirement, or your backing power's requirement?" Hall Master Jing asked, somewhat confused, upon hearing this answer.
Jin Tianming shrugged and said, "Those guys said to let me play it by ear."
Hall Master Jing: ???
"Are you sure?"
Hall Master Jing simply didn't believe a young man's words. If that was the only requirement, then why say so much earlier?
Facing Hall Master Jing's disbelief, Jin Tianming thought for a moment and said, "They need some high-level Soul Guidance Devices, especially spatial Soul Guidance Devices, and also two Nine-Level Soul Guidance bombs."
Upon hearing this, Hall Master Jing stood up angrily, his gaze fixed on Jin Tianming. He asked, word by word, "Do you know what you're saying?"
The earlier requirements were fine, but what in the world were those two Nine-Level Soul Guidance bombs?
Do you really think Nine-Level Soul Guidance Devices are that easy to trade for?
He felt completely bluffed by this young man.
Seeing Hall Master Jing so agitated, Jin Tianming calmly took a sip of black tea and replied, "Of course I know. But Hall Master Jing, don't you want to hear the conditions proposed by those guys behind me?"
"Tell me."
Hall Master Jing suppressed his anger, calmly sat down, and vaguely felt that the young man in front of him was completely at odds with him.
"A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone or help you advance to a Level 95 Super Douluo, or do you want your grandson's or granddaughter's Martial Soul to undergo a leap-forward evolution? They said it's all up to you to choose!"
Jin Tianming stated the conditions he had thought of. Anyway, there was no rush; he would let Engulfing Sky Dragon worry about it later.
Tian Mucheng: Thank you!
Hall Master Jing was so shocked by these conditions that he couldn't close his mouth. He almost didn't believe his own ears.
He suppressed his excitement and calmly asked, "How can I trust you, and what is a leap-forward Martial Soul evolution?"
Jin Tianming didn't immediately answer Hall Master Jing's question. Instead, he pushed the teacup forward and said, "No more black tea."
"..." Hall Master Jing took a deep breath and poured Jin Tianming another cup of black tea.
"Thank you."
Jin Tianming took the black tea, blew on it, took a sip, and then said, "Martial Soul leap-forward evolution means evolving into a dragon. No matter what Martial Soul it is, as long as it gets permission from those guys, they have a way to make the Martial Soul receive the dragon's blessing and evolve into a Martial Soul related to a dragon."
"Then your Martial Soul?"
In the cafeteria, Hall Master Jing had clearly seen the golden scales on Jin Tianming's body. That dragon might was definitely a True Dragon Martial Soul!
Where on Douluo Continent were True Dragon Martial Souls most abundant? That would be Dragon City in Tianhun Empire, especially the Tianlong Sect.
But the young man in front of him was definitely not from there. He had experienced the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, but compared to the young man's Martial Soul, it was completely insignificant, not even qualified for comparison.
"Of course, it's a True Dragon bloodline," Jin Tianming replied. His pride would not allow his Martial Soul to be belittled.
Hall Master Jing nodded, indicating he understood, but he didn't mean he believed Jin Tianming. "Then how am I to trust you or the power behind you?"
Jin Tianming took out a soul bone from somewhere and placed it on Hall Master Jing's table, then introduced it: "You can only get this when I reach Nine-Level Soul Guide, but those guys are giving this Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone as a deposit to gain your trust."
"Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone." Hall Master Jing picked it up and examined it. "What Soul Beast did this soul bone come from?"
"The Ten Thousand Year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear right arm soul bone from one of the ten great fierce beasts. It's very suitable for your grandson, Xiao Hongchen."
Jin Tianming replied, looking at the soul bone with a gaze full of memories. In order to hunt the seventh Soul Ring for the Third Dragon Slave, Mo Yan and Xiao Xue almost died in the Star Dou Great Forest at that time.
A Ten Thousand Year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear was enough to rival a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast. If Mo Yan and Xiao Xue hadn't been loyal Dragon Slaves, they would have fled long ago and would never have hunted the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear with a determination to die.
Hall Master Jing gasped. His initial distrust completely vanished at this moment.
This was a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, and it was a soul bone from the bear king species, one of the ten great fierce beasts.
He himself only had one or two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones; the others were either Thousand Year soul bones or none at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have remained at Level 94.
But the power behind Jin Tianming immediately produced a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, and it was a soul bone from one of the ten great fierce beast species, which truly shocked him.
Moreover, the soul bone was very suitable for his grandson. Xiao's Martial Soul was the Three-Legged Golden Toad, and the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear also contained a gold element, making it truly too suitable.
Just now, the Martial Soul leap-forward evolution mentioned by Student Jin, if Xiao and Meng's Martial Souls were to evolve, wouldn't the future of the Hongchen Family be...
He dared not even think about it.
"Student Jin, can I choose all of them?" Hall Master Jing tentatively asked. Only children make choices; adults want them all!
"What do you think?"
Jin Tianming stared at Hall Master Jing with a half-smile. Still want them all? Dream on.
"It seems this old man was indeed greedy." Facing Jin Tianming's half-smile, Hall Master Jing put away the soul bone, coughed a few times to ease the somewhat tense atmosphere, and said, "May I ask what Student Jin's identity is within his backing power?"
Such talent would at least be a Saint Son or something similar, like the Sea God Pavilion's successor.
"Me?" Jin Tianming pondered. He had never really thought about this question. After a moment, he replied, "I am his future Protector."
"Protector???"
——
God Realm
Sea God Temple
A man stood quietly, overlooking everything on Douluo Star. The man had long, water-blue hair that reached his feet and often wore a luxurious blue robe, looking very 'pure and unblemished'.
The man was Tang San, who became the Sea God ten thousand years ago, known as the pure and unblemished Tang Buddha!
"Strange, why has the Sun Moon Empire's luck changed slightly?" Tang San noticed a slight change in the Sun Moon Empire's luck. Although he was puzzled, he didn't think much of it. After all, such a small change in luck was nothing major. His gaze fell once again on the Star Luo Empire's location.
He looked at the thick power of luck above the Star Luo Empire, remained silent for a few seconds, and then murmured, "Why has Douluo Continent actually given birth to two Children of Luck this time, one Huo Yuhao and his younger sister Huo Yutong? How strange."
"But that's fine. When the time comes, I'll have Xiao Qi turn the two Children of Luck into our own people, one as a good sister and one as a good husband. I truly am a good father!"
Thinking of his ten-thousand-year plan, he couldn't help but praise his own wisdom.
As expected of him, Tang San! How could a small Douluo Plane outplay him? —
"Is this luck?" Back in the dorm, Jin Tianming sat on his bed, looking at the luck swirling around his palm. He felt very curious.
Just as he was about to transfer the luck to Engulfing Sky Dragon, he noticed that Engulfing Sky Dragon's vitality was a bit off. He quickly connected to Mo Yan's Spirit Sea and asked, "What happened to you all?"
Mo Yan quickly connected with Jin Tianming, but her answer was a bit stammering.
"Well..."
"Hurry up and tell me! Don't be like a girl!"
Mo Yan: I am a girl!
She was too lazy to dwell on it and explained the whole story to Jin Tianming.
