First Soul Skill?

"Awake?"

No one knew how much time had passed.

A rich, magnetic female voice reached his ears, and Su Chen gradually regained consciousness.

Opening his eyes, Su Chen found Bibi Dong sitting beside him.

"Your Holiness the Pope."

Seeing the beautiful woman beside him, Su Chen was startled. He hurriedly climbed out from under the covers, trying to bow.

"Hiss..."

A sharp pain shot through him, and the body he had just propped up collapsed back down.

"No need for formalities. From now on, you are my second personal disciple."

Bibi Dong's voice was gentle, yet carried an indescribable authority.

"Yes."

The gap in strength between them was as vast as heaven and earth. Su Chen naturally understood that he had no right to refuse, so he readily accepted.

"Rest and recover properly over the next few days. There's no need to hurry out of bed. Servants will take care of your washing, meals, and clothing."

"Teacher..."

Su Chen asked anxiously.

"What about Oscar? How is he?"

Bibi Dong smiled faintly.

"The little one who was with you? Don't worry, he's fine. I've already summoned a food-type Soul Douluo to serve as his instructor."

"That's good."

Hearing that, Su Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The rarity of high-level food-type Soul Masters went without saying. Even Spirit Hall could only produce a Soul Douluo.

For Oscar, this was already the best possible arrangement.

"Alright. Don't think too much these next few days. Get some proper rest."

After Bibi Dong left, countless thoughts filled Su Chen's mind.

"My martial soul still hasn't been figured out. If I fully join Spirit Hall, I'll undoubtedly be standing against Tang San. That guy really is a scumbag, but all of Tang San's cheat-like tricks are still a huge pain to deal with."

Although Su Chen still had reservations about fully joining Spirit Hall, from beginning to end, he had never intended to kiss Tang San's ass.

Three days passed, and his body had fully recovered. Su Chen's mood improved considerably as well.

Early in the morning, the door was pushed open on schedule.

But the person who entered was not a maid.

"Your Holiness the Pope."

After three days, Bibi Dong came to Su Chen's room again.

"How has your recovery been these past few days?"

"There's nothing seriously wrong anymore."

After resting for three days, Su Chen had begun to feel rather stifled.

So he leaped down from the bed, intending to stretch his body a little.

"Teacher, is this my little junior brother?"

This time, Bibi Dong had not come alone.

A crisp voice rang out, and a girl about Su Chen's age popped out from behind Bibi Dong.

"Yes. His name is Su Chen. His martial soul cannot be identified for now, but he is undoubtedly a genius."

At that point, Bibi Dong was somewhat speechless.

She had not been idle during these three days. They had practically searched through all of Spirit Hall's records, yet still found no clues.

This mysterious martial soul was truly full of mysteries.

Even Spirit Hall, with its thousand years of accumulated knowledge, could not unravel its secrets.

"Little junior brother, come on, call me big sister."

Yet Hu Liena did not care about Su Chen's mysterious martial soul at all. Instead, she was more interested in this newly arrived "little junior brother."

"No."

Having lived two lives, Su Chen found it somewhat hard to accept calling a ten-year-old girl big sister.

"If your senior sister tells you to call her that, just obediently do it."

As she spoke, Hu Liena released her bewitching power.

Hu Liena's martial soul was the Demon Fox, possessing extremely powerful charm abilities. Her soul skills were all primarily based on charm.

Not only that, it also gave her an innate power of enchantment.

At a casual glance, she did not seem particularly beautiful. But upon closer inspection, one could sense an unusual charm about her.

Even those with stronger Soul Power than hers would find it difficult to resist such an influence.

"I said I'm not calling you that."

Su Chen also released his Soul Power to contend against it. Unexpectedly, he was not affected by the enchanting power at all.

Bibi Dong's face flashed with surprise.

But she quickly suppressed it.

One had to know that Hu Liena's enchanting power was practically an unbeatable method against opponents of the same level.

Su Chen's Soul Power was currently level 20, while Hu Liena had long since reached level 26.

Yet this Su Chen had completely ignored Hu Liena's enchantment despite being at a disadvantage in Soul Power?!

"Little brat, I'll definitely let you see how formidable your senior sister is today!"

Seeing that her junior brother remained unmoved by her enchantment, Hu Liena grew even more interested.

She immediately summoned her martial soul, intending to properly "teach" this junior brother a lesson.

"You're quite lively, Nana."

Bibi Dong rested her chin on one hand, watching the "horseplay" before her with great interest.

There was naturally no need for her to step in and stop such a scuffle.

Besides, this was a perfect chance to see what kind of soul skill Su Chen's mysterious soul ring possessed.

"Second Soul Skill: Fox Charm."

Her martial soul instantly possessed her. A fluffy fox tail grew from behind Hu Liena.

She immediately dropped onto all fours and habitually raised her left hand, licking it several times like a fox licking its forepaw.

Two yellow soul rings rose beneath her feet, and the second began to glow with yellow light.

This made Hu Liena appear even more seductive.

"If it were a lecher like Ma Hongjun, he probably wouldn't be able to keep his gun down. Ah, no—he might even surrender it."

Faced with Hu Liena at the height of her seductive allure, Su Chen's heart remained utterly unmoved.

As her Soul Power, carrying its enchanting force, swept toward him, the Soul Power within Su Chen circulated. He calmed down with ease.

"A black-and-white soul ring? What is that?!"

Hu Liena licked her lips, becoming even more interested in her junior brother.

"Your big sister still has her first soul skill."

Seeing that her second soul skill had failed, Hu Liena directly chose to use her first soul skill.

Her soul ring flashed, and three points of Fox Fire circled around her body.

They first rose into the air, then fell toward Su Chen together.

First Soul Skill: Fox Fire.

As a control-type martial soul, this was one of Hu Liena's rare offensive skills.

It came from a fire-element soul beast more than three hundred years old.

Combined with her Demon Fox martial soul, it instantly formed an exceedingly strange Fox Fire.

Though it was not very powerful, as long as the gap in strength was not too great, anyone touched by the Fox Fire would be burned.

"Interesting."

Su Chen raised his hand and released his Soul Power.

He attempted to use his first soul skill to contend against it.

In an instant, a sinister wind swept forth.

The exceedingly eerie Fox Fire suddenly shriveled?!

"So this is my first soul skill?"

Su Chen looked at his hands in great disappointment, but he quickly noticed something was wrong.

No, this was not a soul skill at all!

That sinister wind had merely been released through his Soul Power!

"How can Su Chen's Soul Power be so dense?"

Bibi Dong's brows furrowed slightly as she realized things were not so simple.

Su Chen's Soul Power had already been tested before. His current level was 20.

But judging by the degree to which he had released his Soul Power, he should have already reached level 30.

Could it be that his mysterious martial soul also possessed the ability to compress Soul Power?

Soul Power differed not only in level, but also in quality.

Some special martial souls, or acquired training, could indeed make Soul Power more condensed and produce effects far beyond one's level.
