The Mysterious Blue Silver City? Everyone Walks a New Path of Evolution?

Chu Chen was naturally unharmed. Though the previous battle had been perilous, his body was now bolstered by surging vitality and blood energy.

Even if he had been injured, he would have recovered long ago!

"Just a minor injury." Chu Chen waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing to worry about.

"I've found out that person's identity. He seems to be from Godwind Academy. It appears someone behind the scenes is targeting you."

Xue Qinghe sat down beside Chu Chen and told him the information he had uncovered.

"Godwind Academy?"

Chu Chen pondered it. This was probably Huo Wu's way of continuing to string Feng Xiaotian along. That simp had actually gotten a Soul Emperor from Godwind Academy killed over it.

He wondered what the academy's leaders would think.

"Brother Destruction, your reputation has soared lately. I'm afraid quite a few people in Heaven Dou City want to get rid of you," Xue Qinghe said frankly.

"I probably touched upon those nobles' interests. After all, I killed quite a few contestants they had personally nurtured."

Chu Chen smiled, not finding it surprising.

Xue Qinghe's meaning was obvious. Chu Chen's existence had not only stolen the spotlight, but had also damaged the nobles' interests.

"Hehe, but since Brother Destruction is my, Xue Qinghe's, friend, there is no need to care about such trivial matters. We haven't met for several days, and Brother Destruction's strength seems to have improved again."

An eager, battle-hungry light flickered in Xue Qinghe's eyes.

Before they knew it, the two had talked until deep into the night. They then moved to an open area several miles outside Heaven Dou City.

The moon was bright and the stars sparse that night. Cold moonlight spilled across the earth, seeming to drape both figures in a thin veil. Under the moonlight, Chu Chen and Xue Qinghe exchanged blows!

Bang!

This was a battle of fists meeting flesh. Neither used their Martial Souls or soul skills; they merely used Soul Power to drive their bodies. The only thing that could determine victory was the combat technique each took pride in.

As they traded blows, their attacks became increasingly fierce.

Chu Chen could feel the Soul Power surging through his body. This kind of battle excited him. Clearly, he had forged an entirely new path along this road!

No one would have imagined it.

A Spirit Master with the useless Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul possessed close-combat capabilities that surpassed those of Power Attack System Spirit Masters!

Moreover, he possessed such a powerful body.

His vitality and blood energy were exuberant. If Chu Chen erupted with all his strength, his blood energy could transform into rosy radiance. It was just this blazing!

From Blue Silver Grass to Blue Silver Emperor.

Then to the current Golden-Veined Blue Silver Emperor!

This was Chu Chen's path of evolution. Along this path, he used the absolute pinnacle of Life attribute to strengthen himself, cultivating his body to such power while also taking Blue Silver Grass's offensive strength into account.

"Brother Qinghe, watch out!"

Chu Chen shifted his body and rapidly closed in on Xue Qinghe. Then, his fist wind howled as he threw a punch, followed by a palm strike powered by his entire body toward Xue Qinghe.

It had clearly caught Xue Qinghe off guard.

Chu Chen did not hold back. Instead, his palm drove a gale as it swept out swiftly.

"What a fierce palm strike!"

Xue Qinghe was startled. He had no time to evade, but since he did not wish to continue fighting, he used the momentum to let himself be knocked back dozens of meters.

This guy is getting stronger and stronger.

Xue Qinghe's heart stirred slightly. He was deeply shocked by how quickly Chu Chen's strength had risen. It had only been a few days.

Clearly, Chu Chen's Soul Power had increased greatly during these past few days.

Xue Qinghe smiled faintly and applauded Chu Chen. "It seems there is still a gap between us."

He had to admit that Chu Chen's talent could truly be called monstrous.

For a Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master to cultivate to this extent was no easy feat!

"The gap is small. Perhaps we can complement one another."

The two stopped their duel and lay casually on the grass. Their conversation gradually drifted away from cultivation itself, and they simply regarded each other as true confidants. For this brief moment, it was peaceful.

"Sometimes I think that this world is so wonderful. There are countless Martial Souls, and every Martial Soul has its own different path of development, forming a complex, mad world."

Xue Qinghe suddenly smiled. Looking at the bright moon, he spoke with feeling.

Living in such a complex world, some things could not be done according to one's own wishes. They were unavoidable.

"This world is one where the strong devour the weak. Every one of us is caught in the current of the times. Opportunities come with risks; it depends on how we seize them. But for now, I regard you as a true friend."

Chu Chen was also pondering this mad and complex world.

It seemed the only thing one could do was grow stronger. All principles and rules were set by absolute strength.

"Only strength is truth. When someone without strength reads a few books and then starts pointing fingers at those stronger than him, perhaps people will not kill him. They will merely watch that clown-like existence from the perspective of those standing high above."

That was how Xue Qinghe put it.

Chu Chen agreed greatly, and those words made him think of that useless Yu Xiaogang!

"Brother Destruction, I have a grand gathering to attend and would like to invite you. Would you be willing to come?" Xue Qinghe sat up and asked seriously.

"Go ahead."

Xue Qinghe then said to Chu Chen, "On Douluo Continent, the two great empires of Heaven Dou and Star Luo maintain friendly relations on the surface, yet conflicts between them never cease."

"But they must still keep up appearances and preserve the illusion of harmony. Therefore, the royal families of both nations will send their outstanding young talents to a border city called Blue Silver City for friendly exchanges."

"Would you be willing to come with me?"

Seeing Chu Chen fall into thought, Xue Qinghe continued, "Blue Silver City was originally an inconspicuous little border town."

"The only thing special about it is that the people there all possess Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls and have lived there for generations. They naturally welcome Blue Silver Grass Spirit Masters."

"Blue Silver Grass Spirit Masters should not have been powerful, yet every generation of Blue Silver City's city lord has been able to reach the strength of a Spirit Douluo. Brother Destruction, don't you want to know the secret behind it?"

Hearing this, Chu Chen became interested as well.

A city like that actually existed?

"This Blue Silver City does sound interesting. Could you tell me more?" Chu Chen asked.

"Of course. I have only heard of it as well. The people there all possess Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls. Under normal circumstances, ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls have no Innate Soul Power at all."

"But the people of Blue Silver City are different. About half of every ten people possess Innate Soul Power. Though it is not high, they can still cultivate. Just as you and I were saying earlier, it seems every person has walked their own path."

Xue Qinghe laughed. "Can you imagine Blue Silver Grass cultivated for offense, Life, defense, or even Agility Attack?"

"So that is how it is?"

Chu Chen could not help growing curious. If everyone had truly forged their own path, perhaps it could indeed be called a hundred flowers blooming.

"Unfortunately, because of Blue Silver Grass's quality, although the people there possess many Cultivation Methods, aside from the city lord, nearly all of them are Soul Elders or Soul Ancestors and cannot advance any further."
