DD2—Chapter 37: Jing Hongchen's Thoughts
Generally speaking, people with martial souls of ultimate attributes have outstanding potential.
Even in the history of Shrek Academy, individuals with martial souls of ultimate attributes have appeared only three times: Ultimate Fire, Ultimate Wind, and Ultimate Wood.
Among them, the most famous is the Ultimate Fire.
The reason is very simple. The person who led the Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy to defeat the Sun-Moon Empire was a powerful soul master with the Ultimate Fire martial soul.
That is why Jing Hongchen was so excited. After all, the Sun-Moon Empire was far ahead of the Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy in the field of soul engineering. However, in terms of soul masters, the Sun-Moon Empire had always been at a disadvantage.
But the appearance of Huo Yuhao gave the Sun-Moon Empire hope.
On one hand, this was due to Huo Yuhao's outstanding talent. The two martial souls he possessed were the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul and the spiritual attribute of his original martial soul. Both of these martial souls were extremely rare and were sufficient to support Huo Yuhao's exceptional achievements in the fields of soul masters and soul engineers.
On the other hand, a child's martial soul is closely related to the martial souls of their parents. If Huo Yuhao marries and has children in the Sun-Moon Empire in the future, it means that as long as Huo Yuhao has enough children, a powerful family called the Huo family will inevitably arise in the Sun-Moon Empire in the future.
And Huo Yuhao would be the founder of this family.
Take the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family that flourished ten thousand years ago as an example. The members of this family have the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul that has been passed down from generation to generation. Even if the martial soul mutates, it is still based on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul.
If Huo Yuhao could pass on the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul or the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, the Huo family would be incredibly powerful hundreds of years later.
Thinking of this, Jing Hongchen's expression softened when he looked at Huo Yuhao. His granddaughter was about the same age as Huo Yuhao and had good talent. She seemed to be a good match for him, and if they could cultivate a good relationship, it would be beneficial for Meng Hongchen.
After all, given his granddaughter's personality, she would get married in the future.
Based on his observations this semester and the final comments given by Xuan Ziwen, he could confidently assert that Huo Yuhao was a polite and grateful child who would not turn out to be ungrateful. Therefore, he felt very confident in Huo Yuhao.
However, he could only create opportunities for the two as much as possible. If the two did not end up together for various reasons, he could not interfere and force them to be together. After all, a forced relationship is rarely successful and can lead to undesirable consequences.
Moreover, when it comes to such an important life event as marriage, one must respect the wishes of Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen. After all, they are the parties involved. No matter how many opportunities one creates, in a sense, one is still an outsider.
Of course, he had also heard that in the Douluo Continent, some fathers-in-law particularly liked to interfere in their children's marriages.
This type of father-in-law would keep a close watch on his daughter, relying on the fact that his excellent son-in-law loves his daughter, and would put his son-in-law through all kinds of tests that make life worse than death, attempting to smooth out his son-in-law's edges and sharpness so that the son-in-law would sincerely submit to him and fear and respect him from the bottom of his heart.
In the Douluo continent's academic world, this kind of test has a special term—an obedience test!
To be honest, Jing Hongchen despised such fathers-in-law. As long as the son-in-law loves his daughter and is relatively outstanding with no major character flaws, there is no need to set up multiple tests that would make life unbearable. After all, the two will likely be together anyway.
Such behavior is more akin to training a family dog than considering the daughter's happiness.
"Yuhao, I need to discuss your treatment and training plan with Master Kong, so you should go back to the dormitory first. Don't worry; the empire will train you vigorously! Of course, you should not publicize the fact that you have the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul now because Master Kong and I need to discuss this matter further," Jing Hongchen said, patting his chest.
"Okay, thank you, Dean!" Huo Yuhao replied with a nod before leaving the principal's office.

The imperial palace.
Jing Hongchen found Kong Deming and explained to him that Huo Yuhao had awakened the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul and was now the owner of twin martial souls.
A look of surprise gradually emerged on Kong Deming's face. After all, this news was too shocking. Few people knew that he, the Silver Moon Douluo, actually had twin martial souls.
But even he was astonished by Huo Yuhao's talent.
Kong Deming said in a deep voice, "With the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul and the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, there is no doubt that he is the number one genius in the Sun-Moon Empire! Hongchen, besides you, who else knows about this?"
Jing Hongchen replied, "Mr. Kong, apart from Yuhao, I should be the only one who knows about this now."
"Well, that's right. You are very cautious," Kong Deming praised Jing Hongchen for the first time in a long while. He then changed the subject, "For such a genius, we do need to cultivate him vigorously. However, for Huo Yuhao's safety, fewer people should know that he has twin martial souls, especially that one of them is the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul.
Currently, the Holy Spirit Church is very powerful in the Sun-Moon Empire. If they knew about Yuhao's outstanding talent, I'm afraid the Holy Spirit Church would suddenly have one more Holy Son!
After all, the Holy Spirit Church is presently mainly supported by Death God Douluo and Dragon Emperor Douluo, and Zhongli Wu is unlikely to become an Ultimate Douluo in this lifetime.
Death God Douluo and Dragon Emperor Douluo are already very old. If they pass away, Zhongli Wu will be unable to support the Holy Spirit Church alone! That's why this guy is sending people everywhere to seek a Holy Son and a Holy Daughter to support the future of the Holy Spirit Church."
In the Sun-Moon Empire, the upper echelons knew about the Holy Spirit Church. After all, Death God Douluo Ye Xishui was the supreme elder of the Holy Spirit Church and also the supreme worshiper of the Sun-Moon Empire. This was enough to illustrate the tacit approval of the imperial family.
"Yes, Master Kong! Our Sun-Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy has always done a good job of keeping martial souls confidential!" Jing Hongchen said in a deep voice.
Kong Deming nodded, then said, "Well, then regarding Huo Yuhao's training, we must follow the training protocol for twin martial souls. At present, his Ultimate Ice Martial Soul has greater potential than his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao must focus on the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul. As for the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, he must wait until he is strong enough before adding soul rings to it. This way, the added soul rings will be of a high enough age."
"However, the only problem at present is that the Sun-Moon Empire is at a disadvantage in terms of soul-beast resources compared to the original Douluo Three Kingdoms. The most powerful soul beast race here should be the Evil Eye Clan. But for the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, we should add soul rings from ice-attribute soul beasts to it as much as possible."
"So, Hongchen, the Empire's plan to develop the Extreme North must be put on the agenda as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Jing Hongchen smiled bitterly, "Mr. Kong, according to the map, the Extreme North is located in the north of the Heavenly Soul Empire. According to our original plan, we can only develop the Extreme North if the Sun-Moon Empire and the Three Douluo Kingdoms go to war in the future and take over most of the Heavenly Soul Empire's territory."
"The climate in the Extreme North is bitterly cold, and the journey is long. Logistics is a significant problem. Only by taking over most of the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire can we send in the Soul Engineer teams to develop it."
Kong Deming smiled and said, "I know it is difficult to develop the Extreme North now, but we haven't started a war yet, so the Sun-Moon people will not be captured in the Heavenly Soul Empire. What I mean is that we can send people first, in the name of a research team, to find out more about the resources and distribution of soul beasts in the Extreme North and prepare for hunting soul beasts and developing mineral resources in the Extreme North in the future.
Of course, we should avoid provoking the three great kings of the Extreme North at first. They are already powerful, and the Extreme North is their home ground, so their strength will only increase.
Some people in the Sun-Moon Empire still wanted to obtain their soul rings and soul bones. However, now that the grass has grown tall over their graves, it will not be easy."
