—------------------—

Meng Hongchen was dressed in a neat outfit, with her long silver hair combed into a neat ponytail, looking clean and cool.

Xu Tianxi didn't expect that the other party would be so anxious after he spoke out last night. After thinking for a while, he said seriously:

"When you break through level 60, we'll go."

Meng Hongchen's current soul power is at the late fifty-nine level, and he still needs to work hard for some time.

Seeing the serious expression on the opposite side, Meng Hongchen nodded seriously and said "OK".

She glanced from afar at the reception villa where the four people had stayed before. As her eyes changed, she took out a ten-thousand-year-old right arm bone and was about to mobilize her soul power to start absorbing it.

"Hey, hey, hey, there's no need to be so anxious about breaking through your soul power. It's a waste."

Xu Tianxi did not expect the other party to be so well prepared, and hurriedly stepped forward to press down Meng Hongchen's impatient wrist.

Meng Hongchen was stopped and asked in confusion: "This is a 40,000-year soul bone that I extorted from Shrek. Is it okay?"

During this period of time, the Sun-Moon Empire, which did not have a very rich reserve of soul bones, opened up business one after another. With the friendly sponsorship of the two major forces of Shrek and the Holy Spirit Church, it obtained a large number of soul bone resources, so that Meng Hongchen could carry soul bones with him.

In Meng Hongchen's opinion, forty thousand year soul bones are already top-level soul bones. She has never seen so many high-level ones since she was a child.

Xu Tianxi said with a serious face: "We can set our goals higher. Don't forget the purpose of our trip to the Far North, to find the 100,000-year-old Zhuqing Ice Toad. A 100,000-year-old soul beast will definitely produce a 100,000-year-old soul bone."

"If I absorb it now, when I encounter a top-level spirit bone later, my body will already be carrying a spirit bone. Wouldn't that be a waste? Although there must be no 100,000-year spirit bones in the body, the right arm should be at least 50,000 years old to be more suitable."

As he spoke, he grabbed Meng Hongchen's wrist, threw the soul bone back into the storage soul guide, and then retreated as if nothing had happened.

He had specifically asked Ice Emperor about the issue of soul bones. It was known that ferocious beasts and hundred thousand year soul beasts would also leave behind soul bones after failing in their tribulation. There was never a shortage of soul bones in soul beast gathering places.

According to the Ice Emperor, there has never been a ferocious beast-level existence in the Zhuqing Ice Toad clan, but there have been more than one 100,000-year-level individuals, which means there are more than one 100,000-year-level soul bones.

This time, Xu Tianxi planned to buy at the bottom as much as possible, it would be bad to waste it.

Moon and Du Bu Si all have three hundred thousand year soul bones. He has such good conditions, how could he have fewer? He looks down on his own strength.

Normally, if you want to become a level 98 Super Douluo, a hard requirement is to have a 100,000-year spirit ring and spirit bone.

Meng Hongchen originally wanted to say, "Actually, my pursuit of soul bones is not that high," but when he saw Xu Tianxi's serious face and quietly put the soul bone back, he couldn't help but respond happily.

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions."

Although he looks young, he is actually quite domineering. Why didn't I see it before?

Unconsciously, two faint rosy red spots quietly floated on her cheeks, causing Meng Hongchen to look away, somewhat unwilling to meet Xu Tianxi's gaze.

Behind Xu Tianxi, the three members of Xiao Hongchen, who had been looking up at the sky and whistling, were about to cough twice to break the atmosphere, but they heard Xu Tianxi ask in surprise: "Brother, why are you here? Who is the eunuch behind you?"

The three people of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen all looked up and followed Xu Tianxi's gaze.

I saw the top master Ye Yulin flying in the air, followed by an old eunuch in luxurious clothes, holding a plate of badges in his hands. His smile spread to every wrinkle on his old face, like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Hahahaha, of course we're here to celebrate for you youngsters!"

Ye Yulin's voice was strong and powerful, and his loud and resonant voice did not sound like that of an old man at all.

He brought the old eunuch to the ground and introduced him with a smile: "This is Eunuch Wang, the seal holder of the Imperial Household Department, and a trusted and important official of His Majesty. You can also call him Qingchen Douluo."

Ye Yulin knew that this group of young people were arrogant and looked down upon the power and positions of the eunuchs in the palace, so he simply emphasized their powerful strength.

As expected, after these words were spoken, the careless people restrained their expressions and bowed slightly to the bearded eunuch: "Greetings, His Majesty Qingchen."

There is no doubt that Titled Douluo is powerful, and Xu Tianxi and others recognize this strength; respecting each other is also respecting future selves.

The resources of the Sun-Moon Empire are indeed abundant, as they were able to train the chief eunuch into a Titled Douluo.

"Haha, gentlemen and ladies, there is no need to be so polite. I am just running errands for His Majesty. I will have to rely more on your abilities in the future."

Eunuch Wang's voice was hoarse, but it didn't sound harsh. Instead, he sounded like a kind old man.

His eyes were warm, and he first looked at Xu Tianxi, and said with a smile:

"This must be Master Kong, the rare genius of our royal family, right? Your Majesty and I have heard your name many times, and today we finally get to see him in person."

"It is my honor to be cared about by Your Majesty and His Majesty." Xu Tianxi replied with a smile.

"Haha, Mr. Kong, don't be so modest. Your Majesty and my family have heard about your life story from Mr. Kong. He lived in a foreign land and returned to his motherland with great difficulty. You are a first-class person."

Eunuch Wang was not pretentious and was very polite in his words. Xu Tianxi even heard a hint of respect.

As expected, Kong Deming's influence was very strong. In the Sun and Moon Empire, the imperial palace was just a decoration, and the worship hall was the real palace.

"During this period, Master Kong, you led the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team to victory, bringing back the first championship for the empire in more than 4,000 years. When His Majesty heard the news, he was very pleased and his weak body got much better."

Eunuch Wang said with a smile, and then continued: "Originally, His Majesty was going to confer titles on each of you participating team members after learning about this, but you started top-secret research soon after you returned, and last night was even more intense, so you only calmed down now."

"When His Majesty learned that you had settled down, he hurriedly asked me and the Starry Sky Crown to come find you and finalize the matter of conferring titles."

"Awarding a title? There is no such tradition in previous competitions in our Sun Moon Empire, right?"

A look of doubt appeared on Xu Tianxi's face.

If this were ten thousand years ago, the Tiandou Empire would have granted many titles in order to attract participating teams, and those above Soul Sect could become Viscount.

But at that time, because of the existence of the Spirit Hall, the two empires had to promise huge benefits to the top talents in order to compete with the Spirit Hall for talented soul masters.

After the Spirit Hall was gone, various measures to attract talented and wild soul masters, such as granting titles to soul masters, naturally disappeared.

Even the free awakening of martial spirits no longer exists. Those who can awaken martial spirits are all members of the aristocracy. Why bother to attract civilian talents? As for the Sun-Moon Empire, it is said that there were conferring titles in the previous competitions in history. After the second place has won too many titles, the royal family no longer conferred titles, probably because they thought it was meaningless.

Ye Yulin laughed and said, "This tradition was rare in the past, but you won the championship, isn't this unprecedented? His Majesty must express his gratitude to you."

"Such a great victory, we should celebrate as a nation."

"So that's how it is." Xu Tianxi and Hong Chen understood after hearing this.

If they won the championship and were conferred titles by the emperor, it meant that the old emperor also had a share in the success, which could become strong evidence that "during his reign, he worked hard to govern the country, encouraged teaching, employed people based on their merits, and achieved remarkable results", leaving a mark in the history books to wash away the stain of his usurpation of the throne.

Although this success had almost nothing to do with the old emperor, who made him sit on the throne? Of course, Xu Tianxi and others didn't care about this. As long as they could give benefits, it would be a win-win situation for everyone.

Eunuch Wang continued, "I heard from His Majesty Xingkong that you, Master Kong, have made many achievements in recent times, successively eliminating three important figures of Shrek and a large number of evil spirit masters. You have made great achievements. Even the demise of the two Titled Douluo of Xishui League is due to your great contribution."

He smiled apologetically and said, "His Majesty originally intended to confer a high title on you, but considering that you are still young and not even an adult, I have no choice but to lower this position first..."

Xu Tianxi nodded and said indifferently: "It's nothing, I'm just like everyone else..."

In historical examples, all participating team members were granted the title of baron, and the captain was granted the title of viscount. Since you have a special background, perhaps you will be an earl?

Once his soul research comes out, it will be easy for him to become a duke like Jing Hongchen.

The words of the eunuch Wang were still ringing: "Those dukes are of the older generation. His Majesty was afraid that you, a young man, would have trouble dealing with them, so he had to lower your status to a marquis. I hope you won't despise it."

"In fact, there is no difference between earls and viscounts... Wait, Your Majesty, what did you say? Marquis? Isn't that inappropriate?"

Hearing this, Xu Tianxi was somewhat surprised by the other party's generosity. The first one he got was the second-rank Marquis among the five ranks of duke, marquis, earl, viscount and baron? The old emperor was quite generous.

Eunuch Wang said sternly, "It's very suitable. My dear, don't forget that you are born in the royal family. When your great-grandfather, Mr. Kong Zhen, was still alive, he was a prince. You are a member of the royal family, who can say anything about it?"

As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Xu Sanshi beside him, and smiled at Xu Tianxi, "If you are willing to go to the ancestral temple and rejoin the clan, it would be easy for you to inherit the title of Prince of a County; but that requires you to go after you reach adulthood."

"This time, you, my lord, will be awarded the title of Marquis. His Majesty has issued a decree that all participating students will be awarded the title of Baron. The captain of the selected team, Ma Rulong, and the young master and young lady of the Hongchen family will be awarded the title of Viscount, which will be hereditary."

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's eyes lit up. Although they had their grandfather's dukedom to inherit, there was still a huge difference between a position that fell from the sky and a position that they fought for themselves.

Soon, Xiao Hongchen's eyes rolled and he suggested in a low voice: "Eunuch Wang, can you tell His Majesty to give my position to Meng after the title is conferred, so that she can be promoted to earl? I have my grandfather's dukedom as my successor."

Qingchen Douluo's smile froze on his face: "..."

I wanted to beat up this brat who treated the title as a joke, but I was worried about offending his grandfather. What should I do?

Bang!

Meng Hongchen patted the guy on the back of his head and said, "Be serious."

He turned around and smiled to smooth things over, changing the subject: "By the way, Your Majesty, I wonder if Tianxi's title is a single-word title or a double-word title?"

Qingchen Douluo heaved a sigh of relief, collected his composure, and said in all seriousness, "Your Majesty's intention is to use the word 'moon' as your name, and name yourself Yue Hou."

"If you have any other ideas, you can also bring them up."

As soon as the words fell, everyone's expressions changed slightly except Ji Juechen. The word "moon" is nothing special, but considering the name of the country... the meaning is a bit deep.

Xu Tianxi thought about it and nodded slightly: "One month is very good. If you want to change the name, let's talk about it later."

The Xuanming Sect has not moved here yet, so it won't be difficult to add a character in the future.

"good."

Qingchen Douluo happily agreed, and continued, "Your Majesty means that this conferment of the title should be held in a grand manner. You should all go around the main road of Mingdu City so that all the people of our country can see your elegance."

Xu Tianxi suddenly felt socially anxious and was about to refuse, but he heard Ye Yulin chuckle and say, "Junior brother, this matter was decided by Master Kong himself. He said that if you have made a contribution, you must be glorious. If you don't do it, you are not giving him face."

Xu Tianxi's face twitched, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "When will the title be officially conferred?"

Ye Yulin raised a smug smile and snorted, "That depends on when the Shrek group will come. What we want is for all four empires to know."

Xu Tianxi: "…"

You guys are really good!
