Tang Hao Seriously Injures Chrysanthemum Douluo, Semester Ends, Soul Power Reaches Level 20

After eating, Chu Chen left the cafeteria with Wang Sheng and the others. During that time, he did not see Tang San or Yu Xiaogang again. When he returned to the dormitory, he happened to see Xiao Wu storming back inside.

Chu Chen did not pay Xiao Wu any attention. Instead, he walked over to his bed. Having needed to obtain a Spirit Ring over the past three days, he had not had any time to rest properly.

Thus, Chu Chen collapsed onto his bed and rested for a while.

After all, there were still classes in the afternoon. Moreover, as a Work-Study Student, he clearly needed to do some labor in exchange for a certain amount of money.

If his work did not meet the required standard, he could very well be expelled.

After some time, Chu Chen had completely adapted to life at Nuoding Academy. As for the knowledge taught in class, he had basically understood it all himself already, but he still chose to organize and consolidate that knowledge.

With what he had learned so far, combined with the knowledge he possessed as a transmigrator—

Perhaps he could even forge an entirely new path of Spirit Master cultivation.

"Ever since Blue Silver Grass evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor, my perception of the surrounding plants has become much sharper. It seems that I can absorb this surging Life Energy at every moment."

Chu Chen sat cross-legged alone in an open cultivation ground. This was also the cultivation area with the densest vegetation.

Thus, to others, this was hardly a good place.

But for Chu Chen, it was the best place to perfectly absorb Life Energy and temper his own vitality!

"Sure enough, whether it is Blue Silver Grass or the Blue Silver Emperor, once the life attribute is activated, its advantage of tenacious vitality reveals itself."

For a Spirit Master, the choice of their First Spirit Ring was naturally of utmost importance.

The attributes of the First Spirit Ring laid the foundation for the future development of a Martial Soul. Just like Tang San, his path had now been determined as control and poison, and it was no longer possible for it to evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor.

"Following Tang San's cultivation method, before he reaches the Spirit King realm, that Martial Soul of his is basically useless."

Chu Chen withdrew his Soul Power. After absorbing the surging life force once more, his Soul Power faintly improved.

His physical body also became stronger. This life force had practically fused into his flesh and blood, continuously nourishing his body.

"This is the true wondrous use of the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul."

Chu Chen laughed heartily. His cultivation had always been extremely secretive, and he would not easily reveal the Blue Silver Emperor before others, because he did not know where Tang Hao might be following Tang San.

If Tang Hao recognized the Blue Silver Emperor, Chu Chen would inevitably be suspected...

After finishing his cultivation, Chu Chen left Nuoding Academy and entered Nuoding City. His Work-Study Student duties over this period had earned him some money, but after arriving in Nuoding City, he realized that there was nothing he actually needed.

By convention, as a Spirit Master, Chu Chen was now eligible to receive a monthly subsidy.

"Come to think of it, although the subsidy funds are allocated by the empire, without Spirit Hall's policies, I'm afraid the two great empires would never issue subsidies at all."

"Spirit Hall provides free Martial Soul awakenings for commoners and distributes subsidies. They really do practical things. In this regard, Spirit Hall does better than the two great empires."

This was something Spirit Hall had done right. What Spirit Hall did would indeed become distorted later on, but in the early days, one could not deny everything it had done.

"Forget it. After buying some things for Village Chief Teague and the others, I'll find a chance to bring them back. This semester's classes are almost over too..."

His cultivation during this time had also raised Chu Chen's Soul Power to level nineteen. Clearly, breaking through to level twenty was not far away.

For a top-tier Martial Soul like the Blue Silver Emperor, its cultivation speed naturally would not be slow. Not to mention that he also possessed a Second Martial Soul: the Destruction Ancient Dragon.

"Destruction and Life... With such extreme attributes fused together, I wonder whether they'll turn my body into a battlefield and trigger an energy clash when I cultivate my Second Martial Soul..."

Thinking of this gave Chu Chen a headache.

He had naturally considered his Martial Souls thoroughly, and thus had thought of this issue as well. After pondering for a moment, he stopped dwelling on it. After all, he would not be cultivating his Second Martial Soul for the time being.

At that moment, a group that seemed to belong to Spirit Hall passed by him. They were clearly the Spirit Masters stationed at Spirit Hall's branch in Nuoding City.

"Have you heard? Someone attacked Spirit City and seriously injured Elder Chrysanthemum Douluo," a soldier said quietly.

Chu Chen stopped and listened carefully to their conversation.

Could it be...

"Someone was actually that powerful? They could seriously injure Elder Chrysanthemum Douluo in Spirit City? How is that possible?" Another person was clearly incredulous.

"Why would I lie to you? I heard it from the bishop himself. They say that after seriously injuring Lord Chrysanthemum Douluo, that mysterious person retreated completely unscathed."

"Damn, that guy's ruthless..."

Chu Chen listened with great interest. There was no need to guess who this mysterious person was—it had to be Tang Hao.

Poor Chrysanthemum Douluo. Chu Chen's misdirection had clearly worked. He had not expected Tang Hao to be so thoughtless as to actually believe the "information" he had left behind.

"Haha, Yue Guan probably won't be able to sleep at night now."

Chu Chen was in an excellent mood. After returning to the academy, he resumed his familiar campus life.

Inside the dormitory.

When Chu Chen returned to the dormitory, Wang Sheng and the others, who had been bullied by Xiao Wu, seemed to have found someone to rely on and began gathering around Chu Chen.

"Oh, right. I brought you all something."

Chu Chen took out some special food wrapped in oiled paper from his clothes. Upon opening it, they found spicy rabbit heads and grilled rabbit legs that looked, smelled, and tasted delicious. Wang Sheng and the others drooled at the enticing sight.

Chu Chen generously gave each of them one. Watching them eat until their mouths were covered in grease, Chu Chen laughed heartily and began eating as well, holding a rabbit leg in each hand.

"Delicious, absolutely delicious!" Wang Sheng said as he ate.

Xiao Wu's expression, meanwhile, kept changing. In the end, she forcibly suppressed the urge to vomit and rushed out of the dormitory. Although Tang San had also been tempted by the fragrant rabbit legs, he still ran out after Xiao Wu.

Wang Sheng and the others did not understand, but they could not be bothered to care about her.

Just like that, Chu Chen completed a fulfilling semester and finally welcomed the holiday. Carrying gifts for Village Chief Teague and the others, he set out from Nuoding City on the road back to Di Hun Village.

"My Soul Power has now reached level twenty. I can use this holiday to hunt my Second Spirit Ring."

Riding in a carriage, Chu Chen returned to Di Hun Village, where he had grown up, once again after half a year and the changing of seasons.
