Teacher Xuan Ziwen is the youngest Eighth-Rank Soul Engineer in the Sun Moon Empire and Kong Deming’s only Disciple; however, even geniuses are unable to take Kong Deming as their master.
Aside from the Emperor, Teacher Xuan Ziwen is the only person who can make Elder Kong emerge from seclusion.
And his beloved Disciple had actually sent an urgent message saying: “Teacher, there’s a Genius, come quickly.”
Anyone’s curiosity would be piqued.
Without anyone noticing, he had been silently listening to Jing Hongchen and the others’ conversation and had secretly investigated Huo Yuhao’s information.
He was indeed a Genius, so just as Jing Hongchen was planning to take him as a Disciple, he decisively performed a tactical cough.
Jing Hongchen thought for a moment and realized Teacher Xuan Ziwen must have told him, then glared fiercely at Teacher Xuan Ziwen.
The latter acted as if he hadn’t seen it, instead looking at the spirit tool beside him, staring intently as if he had seen a peerless beauty.
Kong Deming ignored the two of them and spoke gently to Huo Yuhao.
“Child, I heard you have twin spirits, and your primary Spirit is a mental-attribute Body Martial Soul, the Spirit Eyes, right?”
Huo Yuhao’s heart was in a state of upheaval; it was unbelievable.
He wanted to attract the attention of the upper management, and his target was Jing Hongchen.
From what he knew from the novel, this person had a good personality and greatly appreciated Huo Yuhao.
But he never expected to attract the attention of a big shot like Kong Deming.
It was like taking the college entrance exam, working hard to get into a regular university, only to have Tsinghua University actively send an admission notice.
“Yes, Elder Kong.
My primary Spirit is the mental-attribute Body Martial Soul, the Spirit Eyes.
The other one might be a Beast Spirit, but it hasn’t awakened yet.
I don’t know either; I can only feel a cold, icy sensation.”
Huo Yuhao spoke slowly after calming down.
“Very good, child.
Can you let me see your second Spirit?”
The reason Kong Deming made such a request was that he wanted to find something the two of them had in common, which was that they both had twin spirits.
Jing Hongchen had already invested in Huo Yuhao earlier, so it would be hard for him to compete in terms of favorable impression by suddenly appearing.
So he could only think from another angle.
No matter who it was, they all wanted to become stronger.
Since he also had twin spirits, he was the most suitable person to be his teacher.
Huo Yuhao released his second Spirit: “This is my unawakened Spirit.
Its attribute is ice and it has no form.
Whatever Spirit Beast it absorbs, it will take on the form of that Spirit Beast.”
Kong Deming was ecstatic.
Very good, it really was twin spirits.
Not awakened?
What did that matter?
Body Martial Souls had second and third Awakenings.
Besides, Huo Yuhao said it would take the form of whatever Spirit Beast’s spirit ring he absorbed.
Then what if he absorbed a 100,000-year Spirit Beast?
Huo Yuhao was exactly the Disciple he wanted to find most.
Elder Kong had already completely stepped into the role of a teacher.
“Yuhao, it’s alright if I call you that, right?
I also have twin spirits, and I am a Rank 94 Titled Douluo, the only Level 10 Soul Engineer in the Sun Moon Empire.”
“If you are willing to take me as your master, I can teach you everything, whether it’s the twin spirits Cultivate, or Soul Engineer research.”
Hearing this, Jing Hongchen also had nothing to say.
Indeed, if one were to find the most suitable person in the Sun Moon Empire to teach Huo Yuhao, it would be the elderly man before him.
Since they both had twin spirits, there would be no issues regarding Spirit Cultivate.
Moreover, Elder Kong was the only Level 10 Soul Engineer; he would definitely not let Huo Yuhao’s talent go to waste.
Although he could also teach Soul Engineer research, he would be slightly inferior, and in terms of being a Spirit Master, the difference was truly vast.
Jing Hongchen wasn’t the type of person who would destroy what he couldn’t have, so he remained silent this time.
Huo Yuhao didn’t immediately kneel to take him as his master.
He kept Jing Hongchen’s previous investment and help firmly in his heart; he had previously intended to take Jing Hongchen as his master.
If he were to ungratefully take someone else as his master just because he met someone better now, Huo Yuhao would look down on himself.
Seeing Huo Yuhao frowning and pursing his lips in deep thought, Jing Hongchen felt a sense of gratification.
He then spoke: “Yuhao, Elder Kong is right.
He is indeed the most suitable person to be your teacher.”
Huo Yuhao took a deep look at Jing Hongchen.
“I’m sorry, Director.”
“Thank you for your blessing, Director.”
With every sentence he spoke, Huo Yuhao bowed once to Jing Hongchen.
Afterward, he performed the formal ritual of taking Kong Deming as his master.
“Good, good, good.
My dear Disciple, please rise.”
Kong Deming was extremely happy.
To be able to take a Disciple with such high talent and good character at his age made him as happy as having a son in his old age.
“Yuhao, call me Senior Brother and let me hear it.”
Teacher Xuan Ziwen was also very happy.
Thinking that he had a Genius Junior Brother, he wouldn’t have to worry about lacking inspiration during research, nor would he be constantly pressured by his teacher.
As Teacher Xuan Ziwen was lost in his beautiful fantasy, he felt a slight pain in his shoulder.
“Who is it?”
Teacher Xuan Ziwen turned his head to look; it was Jing Hongchen, with a dark face, gloomily squeezing his shoulder.
“Come, let’s go outside and have a chat.”
His tone was very gentle; if one only heard the voice, they would think he was a good person.
But Teacher Xuan Ziwen’s heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, he had celebrated too early.
“Teacher, save me!”
Teacher Xuan Ziwen showed a terrified expression and reached out his hand toward Elder Kong, attempting to grab the last straw.
A surge of spirit power came from the hand on his shoulder, and Teacher Xuan Ziwen was instantly immobilized on the spot.
Elder Kong acted as if he hadn’t heard the cry for help, not caring at all that his eldest Disciple was being dragged outside.
As the laboratory door closed again, miserable screams immediately rang out, enough to make anyone who heard them weep with sorrow.
“Teacher, Senior Brother Xuan…” New chapters come out on novelping.com first.
“Eh!”
“Your Senior Brother is fine.
He just wants to exercise his throat; don’t mind him.”
Huo Yuhao suddenly felt dumbfounded.
Exercise his throat my foot, he’s clearly being beaten up.
Is this teacher I just took even reliable?
He almost felt like leaving the Sect.
Elder Kong didn’t know Huo Yuhao was thinking this.
What he was thinking was: beat him, beat him as much as you want, just leave him alive, as long as you don’t fight me for Huo Yuhao.
As for Teacher Xuan Ziwen’s feelings, it didn’t matter.
Those who achieve great things do not sweat the small stuff; just consider it as training for Teacher Xuan Ziwen.
If Teacher Xuan Ziwen knew what his teacher was thinking, he would more or less cry out miserably: “Teacher, you’ve forgotten your old love now that you have a new one~”
A World where only Teacher Xuan Ziwen gets hurt has been achieved.
After a while, Jing Hongchen opened the door and walked in, feeling refreshed.
Meanwhile, Teacher Xuan Ziwen walked in limping, his face covered in bruises.
Huo Yuhao was the first to speak.
“Director, thank you for your help during this time.
In the future, if I achieve success and you need my help, just say the word, and I will do my best.”
Huo Yuhao’s tone was firm, as if he were destined to become a great figure in the future.
“Haha, good.
Then I’ll accept this favor.”
Jing Hongchen didn’t think Huo Yuhao’s words were an empty promise.
A Genius with twin spirits, who was also smart and polite, had no reason not to succeed.
Although it was a bit regrettable not to take him as a Disciple, building a good relationship was the most important thing.
Perhaps he could let Meng Hongchen get in touch with him.
Maybe he could make the old geezer lose both his Disciple and a potential granddaughter-in-law; after all, his granddaughter was also very beautiful.
Huo Yuhao didn’t know that the Director’s thoughts had shifted from taking him as a Disciple to recruiting him as a grandson-in-law.
Kong Deming was also satisfied with Huo Yuhao’s behavior.
“Yuhao, since you have already taken me as your master, I’ll take you to my laboratory building.
Hall Master Hongchen, we’ll take our leave now.”
After Elder Kong finished speaking, before the two could react, he instantly grabbed Huo Yuhao and carried him off flying.
“Teacher, what about me~”
Teacher Xuan Ziwen grew anxious.
Why didn’t he take me?
Just as he finished speaking, a rope wrapped around Teacher Xuan Ziwen.
“Ah~”
The screams gradually faded into the distance.
Jing Hongchen snorted and thought to himself: Just you wait.
Jing Hongchen wasn’t worried that Huo Yuhao would go directly from the teaching department to the Research Department; after all, any scientific research required a solid foundation for better creation.
At most, they were just going to see the environment now.
