Cheng Gang: Hard Work Will Be Rewarded

Ten days have passed since I agreed to move to the Star Luo Royal Academy for training.

The Star Luo Royal Academy is located in a mountain forest Star Luo City, covering an extremely vast area with mountains, lakes, and forests.

Meanwhile, atop the highest peak of the Star Luo Royal Academy, a massive Mimicry Cultivation Ground rose from the ground within a month.

The entire Cultivation Ground includes various attribute Cultivation Ground, which have a powerful effect of gathering the Heaven and Earth Soul Power.

The concentration of Soul Power here is almost three times that of the outside world, providing a perfect environment to accelerate early-stage cultivation.

It also features a plaza with adjustable gravity, reaching up to five times the normal gravity.

They even spent a fortune to build a Spirit Suppression Room, which is filled with all sorts of rare and precious treasures that can suppress the mind.

It can be said that almost every noble family in the Star Luo Empire spared no expense in building this massive cultivation environment.

However, after the construction was completed, only Zhu Zhuqing was among the first to enjoy the benefits.

"Tsk, that's really perverted!"

Wang Xian'er stood to the side, constantly watching Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation, and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhu Zhuqing's abnormal "physique" means that as her Soul Power increases, both her physical body and spirit will also improve.

Surprisingly, the combined effects of Gravity Suppression and psychological pressure became the very thing that helped Zhu Zhuqing adapt to her newfound strength as quickly as possible.

What's truly useful is the three-fold concentration of Soul Power in the Cultivation Ground.

With three times the concentration of Soul Power, Zhu Zhuqing broke through to Level 20 in just Heaven Dou Empire of cultivation.

How long has it been since he awakened his Martial Soul?

Less than two months!

"Has anything interesting happened on the mainland recently?"

Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes, her gaze devoid of any joy at her breakthrough, as if everything was simply as it should be.

I actually prefer to explore interesting things happening on the mainland.

"Congratulations, Young Mistress, on advancing to Level 20."

Wang Xian'er quickly helped Zhu Zhuqing up from the futon, her smile undisguised. This Cultivation Speed might actually break Tang Xiao San's record!

"As for interesting things, there doesn't seem to be anything. Since Mu En's death, the entire continent seems to have entered a period of quiet, extremely peaceful. Apart from some Evil Soul Master who are still active, nothing major has happened."

The mainland has been unusually calm lately, with nothing major happening at all.

A few minor things did happen, but she felt there was no need for Zhu Zhuqing to know.

The academy spent enormous resources building the Cultivation Ground, only to have it ultimately serve just one person, which indeed made many students feel indignant and even led to some protests.

Especially the team members representing Star Luo Royal Academy in the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament this year.

They also applied to train at the Cultivation Ground, but were directly rejected.

That's about it.

Wang Xian'er stroked her chin, pondering what other interesting things might happen.

"Hahaha, Your Saintess Hall, I'm back!"

Just then, Cheng Gang's loud voice resounded throughout the entire Star Luo Royal Academy.

"???"

Wang Xian'er looked at Zhu Zhuqing and then looked up at Cheng Gang was rapidly approaching from a distance, her eyes filled with doubt.

Could it be such a coincidence?

You've only just broken through and you've already captured Soul Beast?

Wang Xian'er was now completely certain that her Saintess was indeed blessed with great fortune.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that one could even use the goddess of fortune's own daughter.

"Your Highness, I have lived up to your expectations and brought Water Spirit Ling back to you."

Cheng Gang landed and then skillfully took out the Dark Gray Water Spirit, who had fallen into a coma, from the Soul Tool.

"A seven-thousand-year-old Dark Water Spirit!"

Cheng Gang also found it somewhat unbelievable. Logically speaking, Soul Beast like Elemental Spirit should be extremely rare in the entire Soul Beast Realm.

However, before he could search much in the Star Dou Great Forest, he found this Mutated Water Spirit in a black lake, and even its age matched perfectly.

He was stunned at first, but then he realized that it was Zhu Zhuqing who had asked for it, so he felt relieved.

It was all at the request of the Saintess; no matter how incredible it may seem, it's not an exaggeration.

Wang Xian'er glanced at Water Spirit on the ground and then at Zhu Zhuqing; her worldview had been reshaped.

"You've come at just the right time; I've just broken through to the next level."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded to Cheng Gang with satisfaction.

"Real?"

Cheng Gang's eyes widened, and he almost jumped up with joy.

But then he suddenly remembered something and knelt down on one knee.

"Your Saintess Hall, besides finding Water Spirit, I have also gained an unexpected reward, which I would like to present."

Cheng Gang took out a box and respectfully handed it to Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Wang Xian'er.

Wang Xian'er understood and reached out to take the box. She was curious about what it was that made Cheng Gang so cautious.

Click!

Wang Xian'er opened the sandalwood box, and a surge of Soul Power emerged from it.

Wang Xian'er's pupils contracted sharply, and she quickly handed the box to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Young Mistress, inside is a perfect Right Arm Soul Bone, approximately 90,000 years old."

Moreover, based on my perception and observation, this is estimated to be a Power Assault-type Soul Bone.

Zhu Zhuqing instantly knew what kind of Soul Beast the Soul Bone Soul Bone from just by looking at it.

But that didn't stop Wang Xian'er from popularizing science.

Cheng Gang found this Soul Bone at the bottom of the lake when he was capturing Water Spirit. He did have the idea of keeping it for himself, but after learning that Shrek did not intend to hand over the Soul Bone, he decided to give it a try.

He'll see if Zhu Zhuqing is willing to accept his Soul Bone; if so, he won't lose out no matter what.

You might even earn a favor.

In that case, what does it matter if he loses a Soul Bone?

He earned a favor from a god.

"The right arm bone of the Titan Giant Ape is 90,000 years old and does not resonate with me. Since you found it, you can absorb it yourself. This is a good opportunity to comprehend what Extreme Power is."

Zhu Zhuqing casually tossed the box to Cheng Gang and said.

"Thank you for the reward, Young Mistress!"

A glint suddenly appeared in Cheng Gang's eyes.

No one doubted what Zhu Zhuqing said, because they all suspected that their Saintess was secretly studying with the Old Ancestor at night, otherwise how could she have made such rapid progress?

And his Young Mistress just said that he should try to comprehend the Extreme Power more, does that mean that Cheng Gang can also come into contact with the ultimate power?

"The Qian Jun Ant Sovereign is the epitome of Extreme Power. It's just a pity that you paired your Soul Ring wrong. If you had focused on increasing power from the beginning, you might already be a Soul Master with Ultimate Attribute."

Fortunately, there's still a chance. Absorbing a few more Soul Bone to increase power might have some effect.

Zhu Zhuqing showed no expression when Cheng Gang changed his tune, but she did offer a few more words of advice.

As for how far he will go in the future, that depends on Cheng Gang's fate.

As the Qian Jun Ant Sovereign Hundred Thousand Years, he suppressed Tang San so much that even when he took out the Sea God Trident, he was unable to deal with it.

In the end, if Tang San hadn't used the technique of using Method of Using Softness to Overcome Hardness and forced a plot-driven death, he really wouldn't have been able to defeat the Qian Jun Ant Sovereign.

Cheng Gang's Martial Soul, Thousand-Pound Ant Emperor, is still so useless; it's obvious he didn't plan his development well in the early stages and went astray.

Otherwise, reaching level 95 would be a breeze, and level 98 wouldn't be out of the question.

"Thank you for your guidance, Young Mistress Cheng Gang. I will serve Young Mistress wholeheartedly without any regrets."

Even if it meant going through fire and water, I would not hesitate.

Cheng Gang immediately knelt down on both knees and kowtowed to Zhu Zhuqing.

It hasn't been long, and Cheng Gang has only found two Thousand-Year Soul Beast. He only managed to find them because of the Young Mistress's luck, and he obtained the Soul Bone that were most suitable for him and what he needed most.

Even a second later in surrendering would be extremely irresponsible towards one's future.
