บท 568: Chapter 21 Preparation for the Battle Soul Master Competition_1
"Dean Hongchen, is the academy not busy now?"
Under normal circumstances, Kong Deming might have engaged in small talk with Jing Hongchen.
But he had pressing matters to attend to and couldn't be bothered with Jing Hongchen's polite but insincere expressions.
"Busy? How could it not be? Especially since the continent-wide Elite Soul Master Academy Competition is about to start. I'm so busy every day that my feet barely touch the ground."
Jing Hongchen kept pouring out his grievances.
Then he turned to Qin Xiao and said, "Elder Kong, you might not know this, but this young man is our academy's trump card. Whether we can secure a good ranking in this Soul Master competition depends entirely on him."
Kong Deming's heart was set upon hearing this.
It was confirmed.
Jing Hongchen had indeed come for Qin Xiao.
"How could Qin Xiao, at such a young age and just surpassing level 20 in his cultivation, help in the competition?"
"I think he should focus on cultivating well and consider competing next time."
Kong Deming said indifferently, "As it happens, I have some free time recently, and this young man seems to be a promising seedling. Let him enter the imperial palace, and I will personally guide him."
"This..."
Jing Hongchen's pupils shrank suddenly upon hearing this.
The truth could not be concealed forever.
Kong Deming had come directly to poach the young talent.
But...
He wanted to take a gamble.
After all, it wasn't easy to find such a promising talent as Qin Xiao.
Moreover...
Even if he could not take Qin Xiao as a disciple, he felt that he should at least buy some time for Meng Hongchen.
If Qin Xiao could be with Meng Hongchen, he would have saved the situation indirectly.
So, coming back to the point, he must keep Qin Xiao here for a while.
To create opportunities for his granddaughter.
"Elder Kong, you are mistaken,"
Jing Hongchen shook his head, "It's true that Qin Xiao's current cultivation level is not high, but you've overlooked another of his abilities.
That is his Spiritual Martial Soul..."
Kong Deming was taken aback upon hearing this.
He was not very familiar with this.
So, he turned his gaze to Xuan Ziwen, expecting his disciple to provide some clarifications.
True to being Kong Deming's personal disciple, Xuan Ziwen instantly understood the look in Kong Deming's eyes, and mentally briefed him about Qin Xiao's Martial Soul.
With a deeper understanding, Kong Deming's gaze towards Qin Xiao gradually changed.
Even someone of his status and position could not help but show a look of uncertainty.
"It's unexpected that you, young man, possess such outstanding talent, Twin Martial Souls, and even the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul..."
"Elder Kong, Qin Xiao's Spiritual Martial Soul is also very exceptional. If it's used to assist a soul master, it's like adding wings to a tiger.
With Spiritual Detection activated, they could hit the target with their eyes closed using various soul tools!
With Qin Xiao's addition, our Soul Academy will definitely have the strength to win the championship."
Kong Deming immediately said.
Previously, he had also experienced the ability of Spiritual Detection.
It must be said, it was truly impressive.
For soul masters, this ability could definitely boost their strength by several levels!
Moreover, with Qin Xiao's enhancement, their Sun-Moon Spiritual Guide Academy could fully equip their team members with more powerful Fixed-mount Soul Guidance Devices.
Each one would become like a human-shaped artillery.
No matter what the enemy is.
Just conduct a Soul Guidance Cannon Ground Sweep.
Upon hearing this, Kong Deming's expression suddenly became complex.
If Qin Xiao truly had such ability, he really had no reason to take him away now.
After all.
If he could bring glory to the Sun-Moon Empire, that too would be a rare and good thing.
Time passed by every second.
The room was so quiet that only the sound of breathing remained.
After a long while, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but ask, "Elder Kong, do you still wish to take Qin Xiao back to the imperial palace right now?"
Upon hearing this, Kong Deming shook his head, "Then let's wait until after the continent-wide Soul Master Academy Competition is over.
It will also be a good opportunity for him to gain experience."
After listening to Kong Deming, Jing Hongchen showed a moved expression, "Thank you, Elder Kong, for your profound understanding."
Kong Deming scolded with a smile, "Stop buttering me up here."
Jing Hongchen gave an embarrassed smile and scratched his head.
"Young man, you've heard everything we've said, haven't you?"
"This is also a test for you. If your performance isn't outstanding, then give up the idea of entering the imperial palace and following me for training."
Kong Deming planned to use this opportunity to give Qin Xiao a bit of a reality check.
Qin Xiao was stunned.
Could such good fortune be true?
It was exactly what he had wished for.
And Kong Deming, with the demeanor of someone superior, left after saying these words, his sleeves flapping behind him.
Qin Xiao: "..."
That's it? He's leaving?
At the very least, couldn't he leave behind some medicinal pills or elixirs to boost my strength?
But, as soon as Qin Xiao finished his internal complaints, his mind started to feel strange.
Because his powerful spiritual power intercepted the sound transmission between Kong Deming, Xuan Ziwen, and Jing Hongchen.
"This young fellow is a rare jade of good quality. But jade must be carved to become a vessel, and he too should not be indulged in every aspect; discipline when necessary is required.
Of course, our main goal is still to sculpture, and you must also master the degree, not to let him harbor any resentment.
Additionally, his current cultivation level is too weak; he needs a rapid increase in strength."
Kong Deming seemed not to be very concerned about Qin Xiao.
In fact, he was very concerned.
He had already told Jing Hongchen and Xuan Ziwen what to do.
"Elder Kong, I've already offered quite a few medicinal pills. I even gave the kid the Whale Ointment, which cost me a great deal."
"I've treated him as one of our own."
Jing Hongchen promptly replied.
"You've done well. Come out with me; I have a few excellent elixirs here that when used in conjunction with the Whale Ointment, will allow him to break through level 30 before the Soul Master competition starts."
