Chu Chen Decides to Kill Xiao Wu

Xiao Wu's face immediately drained of color. Trembling, she hid behind Tang San. Tang San had no idea what was going on; at that moment, all his attention was focused on the others mocking Yu Xiaogang.

Mocking my teacher meant they had earned a death sentence.

"Old Poison, a word in private," Chu Chen's voice called out.

"Mm."

Without betraying any emotion, Dugu Bo withdrew his gaze. Seeing that he was no longer staring at her, Xiao Wu was filled with confusion.

"Could it be that he didn't discover me?" Xiao Wu clung to a sliver of hope.

But she did not dare remain there any longer. She tugged at Tang San's sleeve, wanting to leave. After being ridiculed by the young girl, Yu Xiaogang could not save face either, and left with a livid expression.

At that moment, Chu Chen and Dugu Bo walked aside.

"You discovered it, didn't you?" Chu Chen asked bluntly.

"Yes. No wonder I had vaguely sensed an aura when you were competing in Suotuo City before... Seeing her today confirmed it. There was actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast hidden among this group."

Dugu Bo lowered his voice. After Chu Chen bid Ye Lingling farewell, he followed Dugu Bo into a room.

"How did you know she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, kid?" Dugu Bo asked curiously.

"I found out by chance."

Chu Chen looked at Dugu Bo and smiled faintly. "How do you plan to deal with her?"

"This..."

Dugu Bo suddenly felt regretful. He truly did not know what to do. He sighed softly. "What a pity. This old man can no longer absorb Spirit Rings, or I would definitely kill her."

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast... if such a tremendous opportunity fell into someone else's hands, that would be far too wasteful."

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something.

"Right, your Second Martial Soul..."

Before Dugu Bo could finish, Chu Chen interrupted him. "I will not add Spirit Rings to my Second Martial Soul lightly. Even if I do, they must be related to the Dragon Tribe."

"That is true. With such a terrifying Second Martial Soul, absorbing the Spirit Ring of a rabbit would be far too wasteful."

Dugu Bo found that reasonable as well.

"Then what about your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul? Your strength should have reached level forty-nine by now, right? Once you reach level fifty..."

At this point, Dugu Bo scratched his head again. "No, that won't work. You can't withstand a 100,000-Year Spirit Ring at all."

"Not necessarily. Under the right conditions, I can do it." Chu Chen shook his head, his tone decisive.

If he returned to the Spirit Beast Forest and used the Great Desolation Scripture there, strengthening himself with overwhelmingly vigorous Life energy, then with his current physical constitution, he had sufficient confidence that he could absorb it.

What made him hesitate was this.

The Blue Silver Emperor had always absorbed Plant System Spirit Beasts related to the Life attribute. It was precisely because of this—

His Blue Silver Emperor had been continuously evolving!

But if he simply let Xiao Wu go, was he supposed to wait for her to sacrifice herself to Tang San?

"Old Poison, don't touch her for now. When I break through to Spirit King, I may need your help to kill her and take her Spirit Ring and Soul Bone."

Chu Chen spoke in a low voice.

Although the Soft Bone Rabbit was not a Plant System Spirit Beast.

Its several heaven-defying skills—Teleportation, Void, and Invincible Golden Body—were all top-tier divine abilities and would be of great use to him.

"Mm, no problem. There are only two Soul Saints and one Soul Emperor among that group. There is no need to worry about them." Dugu Bo agreed at once.

"No, they are not the ones we need to consider."

Chu Chen said leisurely, "The one we need to be wary of is Tang Hao, who is secretly protecting Tang San."

"Tang Hao?! Tang San? Could it be..."

Dugu Bo was somewhat dumbfounded.

Good grief, so you wanted me to deal with Tang Hao!

"You brat, you always give me these kinds of problems, don't you? Tang Hao is a ruthless man." Dugu Bo laughed as he scolded him.

"Heh, but I can't just let a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast get away."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo stood up. The moment he stepped outside, he saw Prince Xue Xing coming to find him. The two spoke about something unknown, and Dugu Bo soon returned to Chu Chen's side.

"This Prince Xue Xing wants me to pressure that group. Otherwise, they may join Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

After thinking for a moment, Chu Chen approved of the plan.

Letting that group stay here? That would be far too unpleasant.

"Go on, Old Poison. But try to act as though you have not discovered that rabbit, so she lowers her guard." Chu Chen nodded.

Before long, the Shrek group left with dark expressions, slinking away in disgrace. It was obvious that every one of them was furious.

A smile played on Chu Chen's lips as he watched Tang San and the others leave.

"Arrogant brat, just keep cultivating your Life Blue Silver Grass. I think Soul Ancestor will be the limit of your realm!"

Yu Xiaogang's tone was full of disdain. In his eyes, Life Blue Silver Grass? What a joke!

"Xiao San, don't let what he just said disturb your mind. Blue Silver Grass has only one path of cultivation: control. Understand?"

He turned and reminded Tang San beside him.

Tang San nodded. He had already absorbed three Animal System Spirit Rings, all geared toward control and poison. The evolutionary direction of his Martial Soul had already been set. Could he possibly have any other choice?

Chu Chen's Blue Silver Emperor was the same. Only after completely stabilizing himself upon this evolutionary path had four Spirit Rings established the foundation of his Ultimate Life Blue Silver Emperor!

Therefore, there would be no problem at all with absorbing a 100,000-Year Soft Bone Rabbit Spirit Ring as his Fifth Spirit Ring.

If he did not kill Xiao Wu and waited until she sacrificed herself to Tang San, then he would be the one to regret it.

"The Soft Bone Rabbit's Spirit Ring and Soul Bone skills, combined with my close-combat techniques, may allow me to create many close-combat techniques enhanced by Ultimate Life."

Chu Chen pondered this. Then he left and found Ye Lingling. He told her about his upcoming itinerary. When she heard that Chu Chen intended to attend that grand gathering, Ye Lingling's pretty face changed.

"I know about that gathering... Xue Qinghe was right. It may look like a friendly exchange, but it is actually a battle to the death."

Ye Lingling said worriedly, "Chu Chen, you..."

"Lingling, have you forgotten my reputation at the Great Soul Arena?" Chu Chen teased.

Ye Lingling paused, unable to refute him for a moment.

That did seem true. Even without using Spirit Skills, Chu Chen had achieved such a record at the Great Soul Arena. He should be able to handle this grand gathering as well.

"What I am more curious about is what kind of city allows everyone to walk a different evolutionary path for Blue Silver Grass. Perhaps I can gain some inspiration there."

Chu Chen looked earnestly at Ye Lingling. She agreed with a smile and told him to stay safe.

Chu Chen was extremely curious about Blue Silver City.

If such a city truly existed, though it had hidden itself from the world and ordinary people might not know much about it, would that not make Yu Xiaogang seem even more useless?
