"Just... that easily? He really was a terrifying guy." In the VIP room, Dugu Yan and the others had yet to recover from their shock.
Only after Huo Changkong had been killed did they realize just how terrifying that black-robed figure was.
"Just as the rumors said, he did not use a single soul skill, nor did he even reveal his Spirit Rings, yet he still killed an expert at the Quasi Spirit King level just like that."
Qin Ming sighed repeatedly. "His close-combat techniques were simply tyrannical and razor-sharp. Did you all see them clearly?"
Everyone replied, "We saw them clearly, but we can't learn them."
Qin Ming said, "..."
Chu Chen only had this one match tonight, and it had been specially arranged by the Great Soul Arena. After finishing the fight, he returned directly to the preparation room.
Xue Qinghe had already been waiting there for quite some time.
"That was a splendid battle, Brother Destruction. I never expected that you would perfectly execute today the techniques we discussed last night. Your talent for making perfect use of your own abilities is truly beyond my reach."
Xue Qinghe spoke from the bottom of his heart.
He truly found Chu Chen's talent frightening, and he grew ever more eager to befriend someone like Chu Chen as a kindred friend.
"If not for discussing the Dao with Brother Qinghe last night, I would not have comprehended such a brand-new ability. It seems you and I truly met too late."
Chu Chen laughed heartily.
Xue Qinghe then said regretfully, "It is only a pity, Brother Destruction, that I fear I can only watch this one match of yours tonight. Affairs within the palace are complicated, and I truly cannot get away tonight."
"Discussing the Dao is like brewing wine. Perhaps the longer it ferments, the richer its flavor becomes. Let us continue our discussion another day."
After Chu Chen spoke, Xue Qinghe smiled in satisfaction. Clearly, fate had brought them together, and they would surely have another chance to meet. When that time came, they could discuss the Dao to their hearts' content.
After bidding Xue Qinghe farewell, Chu Chen left the Great Soul Arena first. Under the cover of night, he rose into the air.
Using the flight ability of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, he soon returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy ahead of the others. They had not returned yet.
Thus, Chu Chen once again went to the place where he had cultivated during the day. Sensing the still-surging Life Aura of the night, he unconsciously released the Blue Silver Emperor. The surrounding Blue Silver Grass swayed as well, blooming with a faint, shimmering glow.
Chu Chen immersed himself in cultivating the Blue Silver Emperor.
"The strength of Blue Silver Grass is weak, but when gathered together, it becomes like an endless ocean..."
Chu Chen released the Blue Silver Domain while circulating the Great Desolation Scripture within his body. As the two abilities were unleashed simultaneously, the surrounding Blue Silver Grass that had been drained of Life Energy did not wither!
"This is..."
Chu Chen attached immense importance to this accidental discovery.
He continued trying out the Blue Silver Domain, enveloping all the plants within several dozen meters around him.
Affected by this surging vitality, those plants grew even more luxuriantly, and the Life Energy they released became increasingly powerful. Blue-Gold Life Energy gathered in Chu Chen's hand!
Yet he did not choose to release it. Instead, he once more activated the Blue Silver Emperor's life-devouring ability through the Great Desolation Scripture.
To his surprise, the surrounding plants no longer fell into that desolate state. Instead, while maintaining their current condition, they condensed even more terrifying Life Energy.
Boom!
The strike blasted into the distant forest, stirring up a violent gale. Its power was enough to instantly flatten a small mountain peak.
Only then did the surrounding plants reveal their desolate state, all of them withering away.
"So, the Blue Silver Domain can be used together with the Great Desolation Scripture... But I still cannot control it proficiently, and can only maintain it for an instant..."
Chu Chen smiled as he gazed at the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand, its surface condensed with golden Natural Texture. He sighed inwardly, Such tiny Blue Silver Grass possesses so many wondrous uses. Haha, how exhilarating!
At that moment, Chu Chen sensed several auras approaching. He withdrew the Blue Silver Emperor and looked into the distance.
At a glance, he spotted Ye Lingling among the group.
Clearly, their group had returned from the Great Soul Arena. When Ye Lingling saw Chu Chen, she secretly laughed. "He really ran off fast..."
"You're back." Chu Chen stood up.
However, his gaze then fell upon a gray-haired old man standing beside Dugu Yan. The old man's Emerald Green Eyes stared fixedly at Chu Chen like those of a venomous snake.
"Grandfather, he's Chu Chen." Dugu Yan pointed at Chu Chen.
This old man was naturally Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo. At that moment, Dugu Bo stared at Chu Chen with an imposing presence despite his anger, and the aura he emitted made everyone feel chilled to the bone. Yet Chu Chen remained calm, meeting Dugu Bo's gaze directly.
"You are the one Yan Yan spoke of, the one immune to Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison?" Dugu Bo's cold voice drifted out eerily.
Dugu Yan explained to Chu Chen, "Chu Chen, we ran into Grandfather on the way back just now, so I told him that you could resist Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison. Don't worry, he means no harm."
"Hmph. Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison is unmatched under heaven. I don't believe this brat can be immune to it."
Dugu Bo seemed to feel that there were too many people around. With a grab, he seized Chu Chen and vanished from the spot.
"I'm taking this brat away for a while." Dugu Bo's voice echoed through the air.
Ye Lingling looked somewhat worried. Though he was Dugu Yan's grandfather and should not harm Chu Chen, Dugu Bo's expression just now had not looked friendly at all.
"Grandfather, we're leaving for Suotuo City tomorrow. Stop messing around." Dugu Yan frowned and shouted into the sky.
"Then I'll send this brat back at dawn," Dugu Bo replied.
Dugu Yan was utterly speechless. She walked to Ye Lingling's side and comforted her softly, "Lingling, don't worry. Grandfather is merely curious about Chu Chen's abilities. He won't hurt him."
Dugu Bo indeed kept his word. He only brought Chu Chen to a secluded place nearby, casually tossing him aside before asking offhandedly, "Brat, what is your martial soul?"
"Blue Silver Grass," Chu Chen answered casually.
"What?" Dugu Bo cried out strangely, as though he had heard the greatest joke in the world.
"Blue Silver Grass can actually be immune to Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison? Do you take me, Poison Douluo, for someone who became a Title Douluo by being fooled by others?" Dugu Bo said irritably, his tone carrying a trace of displeasure.
As his words fell, a Blue Silver Emperor bloomed from Chu Chen's hand.
Dugu Bo fell silent for a moment. Good heavens, it really was Blue Silver Grass?
"Then how were you immune to Yan Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison? I have never heard that Blue Silver Grass possesses the ability to resist deadly poison." Dugu Bo asked with great interest, unable to help feeling even more curious about Chu Chen.
