After a long while, Jing Hongchen, the Hall Master of Mingde Hall, was still somewhat dazed, scarcely daring to believe the information he had discovered.
An Ultimate Spirit, and a top-tier Body Martial Soul with ultimate attributes!
It was brought before him so abruptly that he couldn’t believe any of it was real.
The research on Spirits with ultimate attributes was not limited to Shrek and the Original Douluo Three Kingdoms; the Sun Moon Empire also conducted such research.
This was also related to a past event they preferred not to uncover.
The Holy War four thousand years ago was lost by the Sun Moon Empire, causing them to suffer a great loss, precisely because Shrek’s side produced a leader with an Ultimate Fire attribute.
They even lost the name of the Sun Moon Continent.
Therefore, the Sun Moon Empire was very concerned about Spirit Masters with ultimate attributes, but unfortunately, their Spirit Master level was originally inferior to that of the Original Douluo Three Kingdoms.
Over these past few millennia, not a single owner of an Ultimate Spirit had appeared.
The Original Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy had at least a few owners of ultimate attributes in their history, but the Sun Moon Empire had not produced a single one.
Precisely because they knew the power of Ultimate Spirits, the Sun Moon Empire was very eager to acquire them, but unfortunately, they had never succeeded.
When Lin Mo, a living Ultimate Spirit, appeared before Jing Hongchen, Jing Hongchen’s first reaction was not that his wish had come true.
Instead, he feared he was dreaming, and that it was all just an illusion.
At this moment, compared to Lin Mo’s Spirit, the thousand-year-level first spirit ring on Lin Mo’s body seemed less striking.
However, at this point, he also confirmed one thing.
Given Lin Mo’s demonstrated talent, he, as a Hall Master of Mingde Hall, could not decide Lin Mo’s cultivation plan.
If Lin Mo were merely a pure top-tier Body Martial Soul, he could personally cultivate Lin Mo, and even recruit Lin Mo into the Hongchen family in the future.
With Lin Mo’s clean background and the added ‘buff’ of being an orphan, he had a good chance of bringing Lin Mo into the Hongchen family.
He wanted Lin Mo to be loyal to the Hongchen family and protect its prosperity for a hundred years.
But the appearance of the Ultimate Spirit made Jing Hongchen abandon this slightly selfish thought.
Lin Mo’s cultivation was no longer his decision; it needed to be reported to the Hall of Offerings.
Only the Hall Master of the Hall of Offerings, the Sun Moon Empire’s strongest individual, Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming, was qualified to decide how to cultivate Lin Mo.
“Little friend, please wait here for a while,” Jing Hongchen said to Lin Mo with a benevolent expression, “Your dean and I have something to discuss, it won’t take too long, and we’ll be back. You won’t be in any danger here, rest assured.”
“Hall Master, we are…” Zhang Kai looked at Jing Hongchen with a confused expression, not knowing what to do next.
He thought that after sending Lin Mo to Mingde Hall, his task was complete.
But now, it seemed it wasn’t that simple.
“Let’s go, to the Hall of Offerings. This boy shouldn’t be seen with us. Didn’t you investigate him thoroughly? When you see the Hall Master later, remember to clearly state everything you investigated.”
Jing Hongchen said unhurriedly.
After the initial excitement, his mood had calmed down.
However, next, it should be Kong Deming whose mood will be unsettled.
Even with Old Kong’s many years of experience, he probably hasn’t seen such a powerful Spirit combination!
Thinking of this, Jing Hongchen’s lips curled slightly.
He was very much looking forward to the expression Kong Deming would show when he saw Lin Mo.
“Hall Master of the Hall of Offerings? Old Man Kong?”
Hearing that name from Jing Hongchen’s mouth, and knowing he would have the chance to see this figure, who was like a living fossil in the world of Soul Engineers.
Zhang Kai’s voice trembled slightly, due to excitement.
Kong Deming was the leader of the Sun Moon Empire’s Rank 9 Soul Engineers, the Sun Moon Empire’s top Soul Engineer, and was hailed as the closest existence to a Level 10 Soul Engineer.
His combat power was undeniably the strongest in the current Sun Moon Empire, an existence capable of facing Death God Douluo Ye Xishui without falling behind.
No wonder Zhang Kai was so excited.
To the Soul Engineers in the Sun Moon Empire who knew of Kong Deming’s existence, Kong Deming was a god-like figure.
“Let’s go. This boy’s talent is too astonishing; he is beyond your or my decision-making,” Jing Hongchen said lightly.
He had figured it out: either Lin Mo had deliberately hidden his ultimate attributes, or Zhang Kai’s knowledge was too shallow.
Or perhaps both.
Despite having close, personal contact with Lin Mo, Zhang Kai failed to discover Lin Mo’s ultimate attributes.
In the message Zhang Kai conveyed to him, it only mentioned that Lin Mo’s Spirit was a powerful Body Martial Soul with both water and lightning attributes.
There was no mention of ultimate attributes.
Moreover, when Lin Mo revealed his Spirit aura just now, Zhang Kai didn’t show much reaction.
It seemed that Zhang Kai failed to recognize the ultimate attributes.
Let alone Soul Engineers, even some powerful Spirit Masters sometimes overlooked ultimate attributes.
It was a simple matter for owners of Ultimate Spirits to disguise their attributes as ordinary ones.
The reason for not letting Lin Mo accompany them was still the concern that Lin Mo’s identity would attract too much attention too early.
After all, there were more than just one or two individuals in Mingdu keeping an eye on him, the Hall Master of Mingde Hall, and some of them harbored ill intentions.
As Zhang Kai followed Jing Hongchen to the Hall of Offerings, two ‘uninvited guests’ arrived inside Mingde Hall.
Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen!
After learning from Jing Hongchen that a supremely talented genius was coming, these two had been eagerly anticipating it.
Upon seeing Jing Hongchen leave, the two of them secretly snuck in.
The interior of Mingde Hall was not accessible to outsiders; it was very strictly managed.
But Meng and Xiao were clearly not outsiders; they were Jing Hongchen’s most beloved grandson and granddaughter, and they had visited Mingde Hall more than once or twice.
They were very familiar with the place, and the staff inside Mingde Hall all recognized these two young geniuses, allowing them to enter directly.
They smoothly arrived in front of Lin Mo…
Seeing the two children before him, Lin Mo pretty much guessed their identities.
Being able to come here as children, coupled with their striking white hair.
Their identities were very clear.
The grandson and granddaughter of Jing Hongchen, the Hall Master of Mingde Hall.
Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen!
Excluding the unexpected factor of Lin Mo, they were the two most talented individuals in the Sun Moon Empire today.
“Are you the genius my grandfather is waiting for?” the proud young man asked.
At this moment, Xiao Hongchen was unaware that he was about to face the darkest period of his life.
Lin Mo observed the two in front of him but did not reply.
They looked to be about eight or nine years old, and Lin Mo finally confirmed the current timeline.
Apparently, he was the same age as Huo Yuhao, which was excellent news for him.
This meant he had ample time to pursue the opportunities he needed.
