Improvements to the Cultivation Method, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo

Spirit Hall's response was clearly swift. Before Su Chen could return to the hotel in Spirit City with Su Xiao, someone had already come to receive them and guide them to a rather elegant courtyard.

"Please rest here for the time being, along with the Purple Bishop. Someone will naturally arrange the next steps for you tomorrow."

The White-robed Attendant respectfully bowed to Su Chen and Su Xiao in turn, then reached out to push open the courtyard gate for them. "Bathing and changing supplies have been prepared, and your meal will be delivered shortly."

Flowers, grass, and trees flourished within the courtyard. Its decorations were clearly the work of a master, while a subtle fragrance lingered in the air. A light breath of it left one refreshed and at ease.

Su Chen nodded lightly.

He was quite satisfied with Spirit Hall's arrangements, both in terms of speed and attitude.

An organization like this would have long since learned nearly everything about the talents of those participating in the martial soul awakening ceremony. Naturally, they had long prepared methods for winning people over.

But his name definitely had not been among them.

Even so, in the mere fifteen minutes after his conflict with Yan and his departure with Su Xiao, Spirit Hall had arranged everything he currently needed.

Su Chen truly could not find any fault with that attitude.

All he could say was that if Tang God King's protagonist halo had not been at work, then with Spirit Hall's treatment of talented individuals, its destruction would have been utterly absurd.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Unlike Su Chen's calmness, Su Xiao was somewhat overwhelmed by the favor. Coming from a small place, how could he ever have seen such treatment?

He rubbed his hands awkwardly, then took out a small pouch and quietly handed it to the White-robed Attendant. "Just a small token of appreciation. Buy yourself some drinks."

However, the gesture thoroughly frightened the White-robed Attendant. He hurriedly stepped back and frantically waved his hands, smiling bitterly. "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. This is all part of my duty. If you need anything, just call for me. I'll be waiting outside."

Could he dare accept it?

Could he possibly accept it?

Your son has Innate Full Soul Power!

As long as he doesn't die young, becoming a Soul Douluo or Titled Douluo is practically guaranteed. At the very least, he'll become an elder of the Elder Hall. If I accept this and he bears a grudge against me, would I still be able to live?

The White-robed Attendant gave Su Chen a respectful glance before hastily retreating.

"I never thought there'd come a day when I could actually benefit from my son's status."

Su Xiao sighed with emotion.

Whether it was this luxurious courtyard or the White-robed Attendant's completely different attitude, it was all because of the terrifying talent his son had displayed.

The meal was delivered soon afterward. There were both meat and vegetables, balanced and well matched. It was not especially lavish, but it was exquisitely prepared.

In any case, both of them were very satisfied.

After eating and drinking their fill, father and son washed up. No longer able to resist their exhaustion, they quickly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Spirit Hall delivered a batch of cultivation resources and informed him of the arrangements ahead.

Spirit Hall placed great importance on these talented youths. They had decided to spend a week helping them strengthen their bodies first, preferably raising the two with Soul Power of 9.5 to level ten as well, before taking them together to the Star Dou Forest to hunt their first soul rings.

Su Chen had no objections.

Although he also wanted to obtain his first soul ring as soon as possible and uncover the secrets of his martial soul, he knew that Spirit Hall's arrangement would only benefit him. He could take this opportunity to study this world's Cultivation Method.

Su Chen swallowed medicinal pills that nourished the body and expelled impurities as he flipped through the booklet in his hands.

It contained the basic Soul Power Cultivation Method, the absorption method, also known as meditation.

Its operating principle was to transform World Spiritual Energy, circulate it through the Seven Meridians and Eight Vessels again and again, and ultimately convert it completely into Soul Power.

This was precisely the opposite of Chakra cultivation.

Chakra was a mixture of spiritual and life energy extracted from the body's one hundred and thirty trillion cells, while Soul Power came from the transformation or absorption of World Spiritual Energy.

It could be said that the two had nothing to do with each other.

Yet the reality was that they had fused together remarkably well. Chakra existed in the form of a martial soul, perfectly coexisting with Soul Power.

Since that was the case, could they be converted into one another? Could he increase Soul Power through internal cultivation while increasing Chakra through meditation?

If it worked, wouldn't that mean double the cultivation progress?

Su Chen's eyes lit up as he began experimenting.

The process was somewhat difficult. When night fell, the young man, sweat beading on his forehead, suddenly opened his pitch-black eyes, a delighted smile curling at the corners of his lips.

It worked!

Just as expected, extracting Chakra while meditating to absorb Soul Power was entirely feasible!

Of course, the fine control required was also quite difficult. Su Chen spent another full day before this unique Cultivation Method finally operated perfectly within his body.

Seven days passed in a rush as Su Chen immersed himself in cultivation.

"Phew."

The young man exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes. In that instant, a brilliant gleam flashed within them, dazzling as starlight.

"Not bad."

Su Chen clenched his fist and nodded.

There was certainly still room for improvement, but he would have to wait until he became an official soul master before continuing his research.

After changing clothes and washing up, Su Chen arrived at Spirit Hall's main square.

Compared to the crowds from a few days ago, the main square was now practically deserted. The white-haired young man immediately spotted several familiar figures.

Xie Yue, Yan, Hu Liena, and a young girl he did not remember very clearly.

The moment Yan saw Su Chen arrive, his expression instantly turned somewhat ugly. He snorted coldly and turned his face away.

If his legs had not been trembling, the gesture would have looked quite resolute.

Naturally, Su Chen could not be bothered with him.

After greeting Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and the others in turn, he quietly stood off to one side alone.

During that time, Hu Liena seemed to want to say something to him, but seeing that Su Chen appeared to be thinking, she tactfully chose not to disturb him.

"Looks like everyone is here."

An abrupt voice suddenly sounded behind them. The group only felt their vision blur before two figures appeared in their sight.

One of them seemed like smoke without substance, yet strangely formed into a humanoid shape. It was as though he wore a layer of tattered black cloth, his features impossible to make out.

The other was a handsome blond man, tall and elegant in bearing. Yet the ever-present effeminacy on his face ruined what would otherwise have been a pleasing appearance.

The aura around the two was as deep and vast as an abyss and sea. Even merely looking at them, the Immortal Body's powerful senses gave Su Chen an extreme warning.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo?"

Bibi Dong had actually sent even these two?

Su Chen was slightly surprised.

He had considered how highly Spirit Hall valued them, but he had not expected it to reach this extent.

Sending Titled Douluo to help level-ten soul masters hunt soul rings was no different from using anti-aircraft guns to swat mosquitoes.

Still, it was not a bad thing for him. Since they were trusted figures at Bibi Dong's side, they would make it convenient for him to carry out certain plans.

The young man pondered quietly.

Some methods could be revealed ahead of schedule.
