Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 455 Stay or go back?
For Jing Hongchen, since he had chosen to stand on the side of Crown Prince Xu Tianran, Mingjiang, whom he regarded as his grandson-in-law, would naturally take his side as well.

In this case, it would be better to introduce him to the prince earlier. After showing his face in front of the prince, it would be easier to pave the way for him later.

Of course, Jing Hongchen never thought that Mingjiang might disappear from the world one day.

If he had thought about it, he wouldn't have done such a suicidal thing today.

On the other side, after leaving the hotel, Mingjiang walked all the way towards where he lived, thinking about one thing all the time.

That is.
Should this undercover agent continue to work?
It was an accident that he came to the Sun-Moon Empire.

With the mentality of since he was already here, Ming Jiang entered the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy naturally, and then entered Mingde Hall with his own abilities.

After entering Mingde Hall, what Mingjiang wanted to do was to get a few more blueprints here and bring more advanced soul guide technology to the Soul Guidance Department.

At present, this initial goal has been successfully achieved.

He should have ended his undercover mission when he returned to Shrek last time.

But then he thought, he finally spent several years to gain a firm foothold in Mingde Hall, so why not try to upgrade himself to the ninth-level soul engineer in Mingde Hall before leaving?
After all, in addition to the overall backwardness of soul guide technology, Shrek Academy does not even have a ninth-level soul guide.

Therefore, based on the principle that the years of laying the foundation and covering up should not be wasted, Mingjiang dragged the undercover mission until now.

And now, he was able to make a ninth-level soul guide!
In the eyes of Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen, his soul power is only at level 81 now. It takes a very long time to make a level 9 soul guide, but he managed to complete it barely.

But in fact, Mingjiang himself has been studying the more complex ninth-level soul guide. After all, his real cultivation is eighty-nine level!
If you really don't have soul power when carving the core formation of the ninth-level soul guide, you can also directly merge with the elves!
In short, Mingjiang now possesses the skills and abilities that a true ninth-level soul instructor should have.

Logically, he should have retired now.

Mingjiang should be eliminated from Mingdu!

But now, Xu Tianran, the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire, has come to win him over.

Well, now comes the problem.

Should I continue to be undercover, or should I leave immediately?

If he leaves immediately, the foundation and network he has built at Mingdetang will be basically destroyed and will no longer be useful.

Of course, if he did this, he wouldn't have to be an undercover agent anymore and could go home and live a simple life with Sister Le Xuan in Shrek or in Qingshui City.

And if we continue to go undercover, given the current development trend
In three years and three years, he might really become a high-ranking official in the Sun-Moon Empire!

After all, the one who was extending an olive branch to him was the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire! If he got close to this person, as long as he hid well enough, then if the Sun Moon Empire had any big moves in the future, he would basically be able to know about it.

Tangled
“How to choose”

At this time, Mingjiang was really a little conflicted.

If the Sun-Moon Empire had no intention of starting a war, he would have evaporated without saying a word, and Mingjiang would have instantly become history.

However, given the current momentum of the Sun-Moon Empire, it is very likely to launch a war offensive in the coming years.

In this situation, if he could occupy a high position on the Sun-Moon Empire side, it would be of great benefit to the future and might even change the situation of the war.

Of course, he could ignore all this, and no one would blame him. Besides, Sister Le Xuan was still waiting for him at Shrek.
Ah!
Mingjiang screamed wildly in his heart.

What should I do?
Continue or leave.

With an extremely conflicted state of mind, Mingjiang returned to Mingde Hall.

It just so happened that Xuan Ziwen had just finished his meditation practice and the two of them bumped into each other.

"Mingjiang! You finally showed up!"

Xuan Ziwen walked over immediately, and as soon as he got closer, he also saw the gloomy look on Mingjiang's face.

"What's wrong with you?"

Ming Jiang looked up at Xuan Ziwen, his brows furrowed. He said nothing, but just shook his head.

"Did you run into a problem with your soul guide technology? Or did you hit a bottleneck in your cultivation?"

Xuan Ziwen became anxious when he saw Ming Jiang didn't say anything.

Mingjiang has never been like this since he met him.

He realized that Mingjiang must have encountered something!

"Neither, Lao Xuan, I just want to be alone for a while."

Mingjiang sighed in a depressed mood and walked towards his room.

Opening the door, taking off shoes, and lying on the bed, Mingjiang looked at the white ceiling with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

To be honest, if Mingjiang's personal experience was simpler, he wouldn't be in this situation now.

If Ming Jiang had not met Zhang Lexuan, or their relationship was not so close, he might have preferred to stay and get close to Crown Prince Xu Tianran to prepare for a possible war in the future.

It’s not that Mingjiang is so patriotic, but he has experienced war and knows too well how cruel it is. If there is a possibility of stopping the war, he will do it.

But he had already promised Zhang Lexuan that he would go back and marry her before the next competition started.

Several years have passed since the two of them got engaged, and the relationship has been delayed again and again, turning the heroine into a background board. Ming Jiang feels very guilty.

Go back or stay.
Mingjiang closed his eyes in some pain, and Zhang Lexuan's beautiful smiling face and the bloody figure who died in the war he had seen before kept flashing through his mind. Every scene could touch his heart and make him fall into extremely tangled pain.

Bang bang bang!
"Mingjiang, Mingjiang, open the door!"

Xuan Ziwen's voice came from outside, sounding a little anxious.

Mingjiang didn't want to pay attention, but the knocking on the door became more and more urgent, making people more and more annoyed.

His breathing became heavier. Mingjiang got up from the bed in annoyance, walked to the door and opened it.

"Lao Xuan, do you deserve a beating?!"

As soon as the door opened, the first words he heard were full of anger, which made Xuan Ziwen slightly stunned.

The air was stagnant for a few seconds, and the nameless irritability and anger in Mingjiang's heart subsided a little.

He wanted to say something, but Xuan Ziwen spoke first: "It seems that you have really encountered something difficult."

The words Mingjiang wanted to say were stuck in his throat, so he could only nod. The decision he had to make now was indeed a difficult one.

Suddenly, Xuan Ziwen put his hand on Ming Jiang's shoulder and said with a smile: "Looking at you, the problem you encountered cannot be solved in a short time, so why not go with me to a place, maybe it can be of some help to you."

Having said that, Xuan Ziwen forcibly pulled Ming Jiang out of the dormitory and walked towards somewhere in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Along the way, Xuan Ziwen didn't say where they were going, but just kept pulling Ming Jiang along.

Ming Jiang struggled symbolically, but when he saw that he couldn't get free, he gave up and let Xuan Ziwen pull him.

He could now clearly feel that his thoughts had entered a very contradictory state.

Two thoughts, two ideas are like two demons, fighting on both sides of the mind.

Each demon had its own reasons, and they madly instilled some ideas into Mingjiang, making Mingjiang, who was already having trouble making a decision, even more painful.

The place Xuan Ziwen was going to take Ming Jiang to was not far away, it was inside the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

When Ming Jiang felt his footsteps stop, he looked up and saw the bright words "Soul Guided Gun Test Field" appeared in front of him.

The soul-guided gun and cannon testing ground, as the name suggests, is a testing area specially set up by the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy for some soul-guided guns and cannons.

There are several areas here, which are used to test the different levels of soul guide rays and soul guide cannons that need to be tested.

Of course, this testing ground is not free. Whether it is soul guide rays or soul guide cannons, if you want to test them in it, you need to pay a certain fee. This can be regarded as a source of income for the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy.

"Why did you bring me here?"

After seeing the place clearly, Mingjiang asked with a frown.

He has basically never been to this place. Compared to other soul engineers who would run here to test a soul guide after successfully making it, he would test the soul guide directly in his own little world.

Not only is it convenient and can be used at any time, it also does not require any payment, and the test results are even more accurate.

"You'll find out when you go in."

Xuan Ziwen didn't say much, but forcibly dragged Ming Jiang into the soul guide gun test site.

Since Xuan Ziwen has the Mingdetang Researcher Card, he can basically pay for his purchases here by swiping the card, which is also one of the benefits that Mingdetang members have.

After entering the testing ground, Xuan Ziwen directly pulled Ming Jiang to the seventh-level soul guide experimental area.

This is already the highest-specification soul guide testing area that this test field can withstand. If it gets any higher, to level eight, the destructive power will be unbearable.

"You should have a level 7 soul guide cannon, right?"

Xuan Ziwen looked at Mingjiang and asked softly.

"Have."

Mingjiang clenched his hands slightly, and a level 7 energy-gathering soul guide cannon about one and a half meters long appeared in his hand.

This is a seventh-level soul guide device he made after he became a seventh-level soul guide. Among seventh-level soul guide devices, it is barely excellent.

"Okay then, let's compete to see who can destroy the most targets!"

After Xuan Ziwen finished speaking, he fired the energy-gathering soul guide cannon in his hand.

boom! boom! boom!
Three consecutive shots, three consecutive explosions sounded at the target object moving in the distance, directly blowing the metal target object into pieces.

Mingjiang listened to the rumbling sound of the explosion. For some reason, his mind, which had been tormented by the two little demons, suddenly became clear.

His eyes lit up, he took a look at the energy cannon in his hand, and began to fire at the metal target in the distance.

For a moment, the entire seventh-level soul guide test area was filled with rumbling explosions.

As the target metal objects exploded one after another, Ming Jiang and Xuan Ziwen's minds were completely immersed in the roaring explosions.

There was no communication, and the two of them didn't even open their mouths, they just kept firing at those moving metal targets. They focused on inputting their soul power into the energy cannon, focused on looking at the targets in front of them, and focused on smashing those things that looked like troubles!

After a few minutes, Xuan Ziwen stopped.

Although the consumption of the seventh-level energy-gathering soul guide cannon is not that great for a soul fighter like him, it cannot withstand continuous firing for several minutes!
During these few minutes, he fired at least dozens of times. Although his soul power was almost exhausted, even his shoulders were numb and beads of sweat appeared on his face, this feeling was indeed refreshing!

Looking at the metal targets that were shattered one by one, Xuan Ziwen let out a long sigh of relief, then turned to look at Mingjiang.

This form of pastime was discovered by chance when he was stuck in his research on soul guide technology in the past. He continuously fired soul guide rays or soul guide shells and concentrated his mind to bombard metal targets.

Visually, one can see the metal target being shattered by the soul guide shells, auditorily, one can hear the roar of the explosion, and tactilely, one can feel the feedback from the soul guide ray or soul guide cannon in one's hand. There is no effect on the sense of taste or smell, but just having these three senses occupied is enough to quickly divert a person's attention.

Xuan Ziwen brought Mingjiang here to divert Mingjiang's attention.

However, when he saw that Mingjiang had persisted for half an hour without stopping and was even getting more and more excited, he was a little dumbfounded.

No, isn't this guy also a Contra? Why does it feel like his soul power is so much greater than mine?!
Also, what was going on with this feeling of getting more and more excited as he fought? Why did he feel like he was infected even though he had finished fighting and was standing next to Ming Jiang, wanting to pick up the soul guide cannon and shoot him again?
boom!
With the fall of the last metal target, all the metal targets in the entire seventh-level soul guide test area turned into broken fragments, and the ground was in a mess.

But I don’t know why, this feeling of brokenness and fragmentation is inexplicably relaxing.

At least, the sadness on Mingjiang's face faded a lot.

In the rest area, Xuan Ziwen took out a bottle of water and handed it to Ming Jiang, saying softly, "Do you feel better? Don't keep things in your heart. Let them out in a reasonable way, and maybe you can find new ideas."

Hearing this, Ming Jiang's heart moved. He took the water handed over by Xuan Ziwen and drank a sip. He exhaled heavily and said in a deep voice:

"Lao Xuan, tell me, if I have a chance to stop something terrible from happening, but it will take me a long time and even disappoint the person I like, tell me, should I do it?"

Xuan Ziwen didn't reply immediately, but thought for a while before saying, "It depends on the situation. How bad is it? Can you bear the consequences of it? If you can, I suggest you don't let the person you like down, because you will regret it. If you can't, then do it, because you will regret it even more if you don't do it."

After saying that, Xuan Ziwen added another sentence.

"Of course, if we can find a way to have the best of both worlds, that would be the best."

Hearing this, Mingjiang was stunned.

Best of both worlds?
