"No problem, of course there's no problem. I originally thought your martial soul had only just touched the threshold of god-tier quality. But now, it seems this transformation was even better than I imagined.
However, the Hell Spirit Cat no longer suits your current martial soul. Change it!"
"Change its name?" Zhu Zhuqing had never considered that before, but the moment Luo Chuan mentioned it, she felt the urge as well.
"Then... what should it be called?" Zhu Zhuqing instinctively wanted to ask Luo Chuan for his opinion. Yet before he could answer, her door slammed open with a bang.
As the darkness faded, Zhu Zhuqing turned on the room's lights. Only then did Luo Chuan see a figure dart toward him and throw herself into his arms, followed by two warm, moist lips pressing against his own.
"What the hell?" Luo Chuan was stunned. The sudden kiss left him frozen on the spot.
It was not just Luo Chuan. Zhu Zhuqing stared blankly as well, an inexplicable irritation rising within her. She stepped forward and instinctively pulled Ning Rongrong away.
As their lips parted, Ning Rongrong jumped around excitedly and shouted, "Luo Chuan, Luo Chuan, I love you to death!"
Luo Chuan was still dumbfounded. He pushed Ning Rongrong away and snapped irritably, "Ning Rongrong, what the hell are you doing? Damn it, that was my first kiss!"
"Exactly! How could you do something like that?" Zhu Zhuqing complained as well.
Ning Rongrong gave Luo Chuan, who was making a mountain out of a molehill, a disdainful snort. "What's the big deal? It was my first kiss too. You got off easy! Hmph!"
After saying that, she looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said unhappily, "Zhuqing, you're not Luo Chuan's girlfriend, you know~ We'll compete fairly!"
Yet after saying those words, Ning Rongrong's face could not help turning red. After returning to her dormitory, she had studied her martial soul and discovered that her Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was not merely nine layers tall. She had been so excited she nearly flew.
Then she had raced all the way to Zhu Zhuqing's dormitory. In a moment of dizziness, she had pounced on Luo Chuan.
"I-I'll be leaving first." Ning Rongrong felt somewhat guilty and bent over as she prepared to run away. Though she maintained a tough, unyielding front despite her guilty conscience, she still intended to make her escape first.
However, before she could run out the door, Luo Chuan grabbed her by the collar and hauled her back.
"Since you're already here, tell us about the changes to your martial soul." Luo Chuan had sensed from Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul that something was off.
Immortal-grade treasures alone could not possibly have caused such a dramatic change in Zhu Zhuqing. Unless the Merit Golden Lotus had played an absolutely crucial role, Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda must have undergone tremendous changes as well.
Only after realizing this did Luo Chuan understand why the system had given so many rewards this time.
The moment Ning Rongrong heard that they were discussing martial souls, she became excited again. Her gem-like eyes sparkled as she looked at Luo Chuan with eyes full of... hunger.
"Your drool!" Zhu Zhuqing frowned and moved farther away from Ning Rongrong in disgust, naturally taking up a position beside Luo Chuan.
Ning Rongrong chuckled, casually wiping the glistening moisture from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve before saying, "Luo Chuan, take a guess!"
"Guess my ass! Hurry up and tell me!" Luo Chuan flicked Ning Rongrong's smooth forehead in irritation. She winced in pain but continued grinning.
"Nine Treasures Turn Out Glazed Tiles!" Ning Rongrong raised her hand and summoned the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Then she looked at Luo Chuan with her beautiful eyes and said, "With the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, each additional soul ring increased the support effect by ten percent, with an initial value of ten percent.
"But with the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, each additional soul ring increases the support effect by fifteen percent, with an initial value of twenty percent!
"And the Soul Power cost of my support abilities has been reduced by half!"
As Luo Chuan listened, he did a quick calculation and immediately sucked in a cold breath.
If the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda reached nine rings, its support amplification would reach a terrifying one hundred and fifty percent!
What did that mean? If Luo Chuan's punch carried ten kilograms of force, then with a one-hundred-and-fifty-percent boost, it would become twenty-five kilograms!
In a contest of strength, even a ten-percent difference could create an absolute crushing advantage, let alone a gap of one hundred and fifty percent.
That was enough to bridge the gap from Soul Sage to peak Soul Douluo! And when applied to Luo Chuan, that boost could easily shatter the shackles of gods!
Ning Rongrong pursed her lips and looked smugly at Luo Chuan, her eyes shining with delight. All of this had been given to her by the young man before her. And both Luo Chuan's talent and strength met her sect's standards.
The more she thought about it, the redder Ning Rongrong's face became. Zhu Zhuqing's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
"Hehe, I'll never believe in that damn Heavenly Ranking again. If Luo Chuan isn't on the list, then heaven itself has no justice!"
Ding! Ning Rongrong's trust in the Heavenly Ranking has fallen to its lowest point. Reward: Body Tempering Pill*10, 100,000 Year Torso Bone*1, Nine Colored Exquisite Sword*1. Ding! Zhu Zhuqing's trust in the Heavenly Ranking has fallen to its lowest point. Reward: Marrow Cleansing Pill*10, External Soul Bone*2. Ding! Ma Hongjun's trust in the Heavenly Ranking has fallen to its lowest point. Reward: Soul Nourishing Pill*10, Thunderclap Grass*1.
The Heavenly Ranking will be single forever! Luo Chuan shouted inwardly. Without the Heavenly Ranking targeting him, he would still be keeping his head down and developing cautiously!
But now, he had a Demigod Level bodyguard and a mountain of resources waiting for him to plunder. If he did not go wild now, then when would he?
The three of them each harbored their own thoughts. Zhu Zhuqing frowned as she stared at Ning Rongrong, feeling unusually irritated. Ning Rongrong hesitated over whether to tell Luo Chuan about another attribute of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Meanwhile, Luo Chuan praised the Heavenly Ranking in his heart while planning to leave Shrek and go do some "good deeds."
After Ning Rongrong left, only Zhu Zhuqing and Luo Chuan remained in the room. Amid the awkwardness, the two settled on a new name for the Hell Spirit Cat—Dark Night Elf.
The next day at dawn, Luo Chuan woke up in Zhu Zhuqing's bed. He glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who had somehow curled into his arms, then carefully got up. After tucking the blanket around her, he walked out of the room.
The moment Luo Chuan closed the door, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly sat up. Looking at her slightly disheveled collar, she spat, "Pervert!"
In the distance, Tang San had already appeared on the rooftop. Luo Chuan also leaped onto the roof and looked toward the east.
When the first purplish glow of dawn spread across the earth, Luo Chuan began circulating the cultivation method of the Purple Demon Eye, gathering the purple essence of the rising sun to cultivate it.
At the same time, he analyzed the fundamental principles behind cultivating the Purple Demon Eye. With the mindset of someone from the twenty-first century, Luo Chuan refused to believe that the Purple Demon Eye could only be cultivated using the purple glow emitted by the rising sun.
Staring toward the east, Luo Chuan continued circulating the Purple Demon Eye cultivation method. Even after Tang San got up and left, he was still cultivating.
Only half an hour later did Luo Chuan finally close his eyes.
"What a joke. Ultraviolet rays are always present. It's just that the purplish glow at dawn doesn't hurt the eyes and is easier to capture. But as long as there's a way to protect the eyes from damage, I can cultivate for longer."
Luo Chuan had thought cultivating the Purple Demon Eye required something incredibly profound. Training one's eyes was simply a matter of tempering and nourishing them with certain substances. Having discovered this secret, Luo Chuan was confident he could shorten the time required to cultivate the Purple Demon Eye by a hundredfold!
When Luo Chuan finished cultivating, an imperceptible trace of purple already lingered in his eyes. He had also worked out an improved cultivation method for the Purple Demon Eye. If he passed it on to Zhu Zhuqing and the others, they could master the Purple Demon Eye in two months, without any drawbacks!
Wouldn't that be far better than Forget-to-Wear-Long-Johns Dew?
