Chapter 323 Waiting for the Hulk
Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen's private research room.
A suit of soul-guided armor and a chain engraved with strange symbols were placed in a transparent cylindrical research device.
With the sound of a trigger being pulled, the chains seemed to come alive, instantly dancing and wrapping around the Soul Guidance Armor, firmly locking it in place.
Then a circular device slowly descended from the top of the research equipment, from which more than a dozen cannon barrels emerged.
Jing Hongchen pressed the switch and injected soul power to activate the device.
As soul power was injected, fist-sized orbs of light lit up in the cannon barrel, and then a thin beam of light emerged from each orb.
More than a dozen beams of light struck different parts of the chain, colliding with it and emitting a dazzling red light.
The red light lasted for five seconds before dissipating. The Soul Guidance Armor was riddled with holes, but the chains wrapped around it remained intact.
Jing Hongchen opened the research device and removed the chains.
"Very good. The upgraded Fox Chains are strong enough to withstand even a level nine cutting beam, but there is no room for further upgrades. It should be enough." Jing Hongchen gripped the chains tightly with both hands, his soul power surged, and nine soul rings flew out. He pulled hard in opposite directions with both hands, and the chains immediately made a "whooshing" sound.
It took a full cup of tea's time for Jing Hongchen to finally withdraw his strength.
"Not bad, it can withstand the pull of a Title Douluo's power, very good! Very good!" Jing Hongchen happily put away the chains, turned around and walked out of his laboratory.
Heading straight for the entrance, the research teams they occasionally encountered along the way all looked puzzled when they saw Jing Hongchen's bright smile.
"Has the Hall Master finally emerged from seclusion? How long has it been since we last saw him?" a researcher wearing glasses asked.
"I heard that the head of the department was inspired by a student's research and has been working hard in the lab ever since!" another researcher said.
"The Hall Master is truly an idol for us Soul Guides! Even after reaching such heights, he hasn't forgotten his original aspirations and studies Soul Tools with such diligence! We admire him greatly!" the bespectacled researcher exclaimed.
Jing Hongchen overheard every word of the two researchers' conversation.
Jing Hongchen silently quickened his pace. He was indeed researching soul tools, but those were soul tools used to capture his best grandson-in-law. Strictly speaking, they weren't very proper soul tools.
"Mengmeng, Grandpa really went all out this time!" Jing Hongchen muttered to himself.
Upon reaching the experimental area on the ground floor, Jing Hongchen discovered Huo Yuhao engrossed in a pile of rare metals.
"Yuhao, are you getting used to the experimental life here?" Jing Hongchen walked up to greet him.
Huo Yuhao, who was being engulfed by rare metals, suddenly heard someone calling his name. He looked up and saw Jing Hongchen looking at him with a slightly greasy smile on his round face.
"Oh, it's the Hall Master. The research atmosphere here is quite good. Is there something you need from me?" Huo Yuhao asked.
Jing Hongchen's smile deepened as she asked, "Yuhao, do you know where your brother slacks off—no, I mean, where he does his research?"
"So he wanted to know where Ni Jiang was. What does Jing Hongchen want with Ni Jiang? Does he want to abduct Ni Jiang and make her his live-in grandson-in-law again?" Huo Yuhao pondered Jing Hongchen's intentions.
Just then, the laboratory door opened, and Ye Nanxiao walked in with a relaxed expression.
Jing Hongchen and Huo Yuhao's gazes suddenly fell on Ye Nanxiao.
"What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me? I didn't bring any gifts!" Ye Nanxiao was slightly taken aback.
"Since you're already here, why bring any gifts? Really, you don't need any gifts, you are the best gift!" Jing Hongchen walked to Ye Nanxiao's side, patted Ye Nanxiao's shoulder with his big hand, and his mouth seemed to be grinning from ear to ear.
I was just thinking of going to find you, and here you are!
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth slightly, intending to use his soul power to transmit his thoughts to Ye Nanxiao: "Jing Hongchen is still having a day full of wonderful ideas for you."
Noticing Huo Yuhao's gaze, Ye Nanxiao seemed to understand something.
"Come on, come on, let's go to the lab!" Jing Hongchen grabbed Ye Nanxiao and dashed off to his lab.
Mimicking Ye Nanxiao's usual gloating manner, Huo Yuhao tapped his forehead twice and muttered, "Amen, Namo Gatling Bodhisattva, wishing you good luck."
"And we should add one more thing at the end: every card draw and chest opening will guarantee a gold item!" Little Ye No. 4 appeared beside Huo Yuhao with a worried look on his face.
"Holy crap! What are you doing here, Muddy?!" Huo Yuhao turned around and asked in surprise.
Huo Yuhao then recognized that the melancholy-looking Mud Sauce in front of him was a clone.
"My main body wants me to stay by your side. An hour ago, some rumors were caught outside, speculating that terrorists might be holding a banquet at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy," Xiao Ye No. 4 said telepathically using his soul power.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes widened. Someone actually dared to hold a banquet in the core area of Mingdu to cause trouble? Did they think he had lived too long?
"Hey! New guy! What are you Shrek people doing? Why are you bothering the Hall Master so much?" A burly researcher wearing a mid-level research coat and sporting a thick beard walked up to Huo Yuhao's soul guidance experiment table and said rudely.
Huo Yuhao glanced at him and sneered, "Is it troublesome? I think the hall master is quite happy."
There was no warmth in his tone.
"You! Hmph! You outsiders can only learn a few superficial things under the master's grace!" The bearded man sneered.
The surrounding Soul Masters all cast envious glances at Huo Yuhao.
Lin Jiayi allocated a lot of resources to Huo Yuhao, and Xuan Ziwen also allocated resources. Huo Yuhao's research resources were more than twice that of these mid-level researchers, and they were unwilling to admit that Huo Yuhao, this outsider, was more talented than them.
The bearded man seemed not to have noticed Xiao Ye No. 4 standing next to Huo Yuhao from beginning to end.
A mirror tilted slightly, refracting a beam of light from the ceiling lamp and focusing it onto the bearded man's research suit.
The bearded man returned to his lab table, a suppressed laugh coming from behind him.
The bearded man turned around and looked at the two researchers behind him, asking irritably, "What are you laughing at? Huh?"
"No, we were just thinking about something happy!"
"Yes, yes, his wife gave birth a few days ago!"
The bearded man retorted irritably, "What's it to you if his wife gave birth? What's there to be happy about!"
After saying that, the bearded man turned around, revealing a hole in his lab coat that showed his lucky panties.
Upon hearing Xiao Ye No. 4's words, Huo Yuhao quickly put all the rare metals on the table back into his belt and then raised the soul guidance experimental table.
"Wait, if there was an attack, why did you run into Mingde Hall?" Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered a very serious question.
"Oh, if we really throw a party, we might even be able to get some benefits from Mingde Hall," said Xiao Ye No. 4. "Fortune favors the bold. Just how far has Mingde Hall developed its soul tools?"
A flicker of interest flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. Xiao Ye No. 4 was right. One of his main purposes in entering Mingde Hall was to investigate the current development level of Mingde Hall's soul tools.
"Alright! Let's do it, let's pull off a big one!" Huo Yuhao secretly put on a soul-guided inner armor, picked up a piece of rare metal in his hand, and casually carved it. He released his spiritual power, keeping a close eye on the surrounding movements.
On the other side, Ye Nanxiao, who had been taken to Jing Hongchen's private laboratory, was currently bound by a chain.
Jing Hongchen stared blankly at Ye Nanxiao, who had tied her up, and rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
"Could it be that I've been too tired from my research lately? And I'm starting to hallucinate? But I am a Title Douluo, after all?" Jing Hongchen muttered to himself.
He wasn't seeing things, was he? Ye Nanxiao tied himself up? And didn't let him do it himself?
Could it be that Ye Nanxiao has finally figured things out?
A frosty hand hovered behind Ye Nanxiao, gripping one end of a chain. He hopped to Jing Hongchen and asked, "Where's the switch to control the chain? Or is it controlled by a spell? It's not tight enough!"
Jing Hongchen's lips twitched, and he took out the switch to control the chains, which was a small soul tool shaped like a handle.
The other frost hand took the controller and pressed the switch.
The chains immediately and firmly bound Ye Nanxiao.
"Nanxiao, have you been working too hard lately? Or have you finally discovered how good Mengmeng is?" Jing Hongchen murmured.
"No, I think this chain is quite useful, but shouldn't we check its quality and usage before using it?" Ye Nanxiao said, then pressed the switch to loosen the chain. Under Jing Hongchen's gaze, he brazenly put the chain into his storage ring.
Mirror of the Mortal World!
"What the hell?" Jing Hongchen couldn't help but swear.
The level nine soul tool that I studied for three whole days and nights was just stolen by you?
Taking a deep breath, Jing Hongchen thought for a moment, "Since Ye Nanxiao has already taken my Fox Chain, then I will designate this chain as my granddaughter's dowry. Hmph, can Ye Nanxiao deny it?"
"Actually, this chain is the latest product of my research, intended for Mengmeng's dowry. Since you've already accepted it, I have no choice but to acknowledge you!" Jing Hongchen reached out and pressed down on Ye Nanxiao's right hand, preventing him from taking out the chain again.
"Holy crap! You scoundrel!" Ye Nanxiao's eyes widened, never expecting Jing Hongchen to play like this.
The next moment, Jing Hongchen's expression suddenly changed.
A tremor came, and Ye Nanxiao subconsciously looked up at the ceiling.
"The laboratory is protected by a protective array, so you stay here!" Jing Hongchen's body shone with light, and a soul-guided armor instantly covered his body, with a fiery red helmet landing on his head.
Jing Hongchen glanced at Ye Nanxiao, then transformed into a beam of light and vanished.
The tremors grew stronger, and Ye Nanxiao realized that the terrorists had arrived!
"It seems that the old fox's laboratory is also underground? Then can I wait until the Hulk pops up?" Ye Nanxiao looked at the ground under his feet, waved his hand to condense an ice stake, and placed it on the ground.
