Soul Power Level Ten

When Chen Yuan woke again, he was soaking in a medicinal bath. The exhaustion and weakness in his body gradually faded, as though an endless stream of strength was welling up from within him.

He moved his limbs slightly, but Chen Yuan did not get out of the wooden tub. He had to let the medicinal broth's effects reach their fullest potential.

With nothing else to do, Chen Yuan thought to himself:

Ning Rongrong is one of the Shrek Seven Devils, but with me here now, no one knows what the future will look like. Since I'm already here, I'll definitely make everything lean as much as possible in my favor. I don't care what becomes of the Seven Devils in the future. I only want a chance to become a god.

Having reaffirmed his goal, Chen Yuan closed his eyes and considered what opportunities he had to obtain in the future. If he wanted to become a god, there were two methods: the first was to create his own God Position, and the second was to inherit one.

First, creating a God Position required at least several centuries, or even a thousand years, of accumulated faith. It was an exceedingly difficult path.

As for the second method, inheriting a God Position was comparatively much easier. However, based on what he knew, the God Positions compatible with his Martial Soul were essentially the Asura God and the other law-enforcement gods under him.

Neither of these methods of becoming a god, not even the relatively easier second one, would allow him to inherit a God Position with ease. In short, he still had a long road ahead of him.

Once the medicinal broth in the wooden tub had completely cooled, Chen Yuan got out, dried himself, and put on his clothes. He first went to eat dinner, then began that day's meditation practice.

Just like the day before, Chen Yuan repeated this sort of routine day after day. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

After a month of cultivation, Chen Yuan officially broke through from rank nine Soul Power to rank ten Soul Power. However, he did not immediately go hunt a Spirit Beast. Instead, he waited another ten-plus days until Ning Rongrong also broke through to rank ten Soul Power.

At this time, Chen Xin and Gu Rong were arguing before Ning Fengzhi over who would take Ning Rongrong to hunt a Spirit Beast. Neither was willing to yield.

In the end, however, Chen Xin calmly said:

"Besides hunting a Spirit Beast for Rongrong, I also need to hunt one for my disciple. Can you possibly understand better than I do how to choose the most suitable Spirit Beast as my disciple's first Spirit Ring?"

With just that one sentence, Gu Rong was rendered speechless. In the end, he reluctantly agreed.

"You have a disciple, while I don't. I can't win this time, but next time, I'll be the one to find the Spirit Beast Rongrong needs for her second Spirit Ring!"

With the dispute settled, Chen Xin had won a complete victory. He then said to Ning Fengzhi:

"Sect Leader, I'll set off with the two children now. We'll be back in one or two days at the earliest, or three or four days at the latest."

Ning Fengzhi agreed with a smile. The first Spirit Ring needed by a Soul Scholar came from Spirit Beasts that were only a few hundred years old. As long as Chen Xin took action, obtaining one would be effortless. He said:

"I'll leave everything to Sword Uncle!"

Hearing that, and glancing at the disgruntled Gu Rong, Chen Xin smiled at Ning Rongrong and Chen Yuan.

"Rongrong, Yuan'er, come with me. I'll take you to hunt Spirit Beasts."

Ning Rongrong looked at the delighted Chen Xin, then at the unhappy Gu Rong. Thus, she did not show too much excitement, merely answering politely:

"Okay, Sword Grandpa!"

Chen Yuan was unsurprised. He had already witnessed Ning Rongrong's intelligence—she could coax two Titled Douluo into treating her as their own granddaughter. But he had no need to play both sides. He bowed to Chen Xin.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Chen Xin nodded. After leading the two children outside, he picked one up in each hand and rose directly into the air. A sword cry seemed to ring out above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, followed by a streak of sword light vanishing into the horizon.

In midair, Chen Yuan looked at Ning Rongrong's perfectly calm expression and knew this definitely was not her first time being carried into the sky. She even gave him a playful wink.

Chen Yuan then looked around him, gazing up at the heavens and down upon the earth. Flying was truly a novel experience. At the same time, he wondered how he could acquire Flight Ability as soon as possible.

At that moment, Chen Xin said to them:

"Rongrong, Yuan'er, you are both rank ten Soul Scholars. The Spirit Rings you can absorb range from ten years to a hundred years. We need not consider ten-year Spirit Rings. Among hundred-year Spirit Rings, a three-hundred-year Spirit Ring is optimal. This is a level that nearly all Spirit Masters can accept."

Then Chen Xin addressed Ning Rongrong alone.

"Rongrong, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit is a support Martial Soul, so its enhancement of the body is limited. I will choose a Spirit Beast Spirit Ring of around three hundred years for you."

Ning Rongrong obediently nodded.

Seeing this, Chen Xin turned to Chen Yuan. His expression had become extremely solemn.

"Yuan'er, people have different constitutions. A combat Martial Soul enhances the body more than a support Martial Soul does. Therefore, I will choose a Spirit Beast Spirit Ring that exceeds three hundred years and approaches four hundred years for you. This will temper your body and increase your strength, but the absorption process will also be comparatively painful. You must prepare yourself mentally."

Chen Yuan was overjoyed. After all, more powerful Spirit Beasts brought greater enhancements. Naturally, he would not refuse such a proposal.

"Teacher, I understand. No matter how painful it is, I will endure it."

Satisfaction flashed through Chen Xin's eyes, and he said:

"Good. For this Spirit Beast hunt, we will go to the nearby Soul Hunting Forest. It has a considerable number of Spirit Beasts below a thousand years, and it has atlas records, so we can more quickly find a Spirit Beast of the appropriate age and type."

After saying that, Chen Xin accelerated. Before long, they arrived at the outskirts of the Soul Hunting Forest.

The moment Chen Xin descended from the sky, he immediately alerted the Law Enforcement Team and the soldiers stationed both inside and outside the Soul Hunting Forest.

Chen Xin's manner of arrival alone was enough to make no one dare slight him, let alone his domineering expression, as though he looked down upon the entire world, and his sharp aura, like a drawn sword.

The captain of the Law Enforcement Team and the leader of the stationed soldiers both came forward to greet him respectfully.

"Greetings, my lord!"

Before outsiders, Chen Xin had always worn an indifferent expression. He nodded, set Ning Rongrong and Chen Yuan down, then produced the Pope Decree belonging to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with a flick of his hand. He said to the two men:

"I am taking my juniors to hunt Spirit Beasts. Let us enter immediately, and bring out the atlas records of all the Spirit Beasts in this Soul Hunting Forest."

When the captain of the Law Enforcement Team and the leader of the stationed soldiers saw the token, their expressions changed drastically. They immediately said:

"Please enter, my lord. The Spirit Beast Atlas will be delivered at once."

Hearing this, Chen Xin put away the Pope Decree and led Ning Rongrong and Chen Yuan into the Soul Hunting Forest. Then he closed his eyes and waited briefly.

Before long, the atlas records of the various Spirit Beasts in this Soul Hunting Forest were delivered before Chen Xin.

Chen Xin quickly flipped through them...
