Yu Xiaogang's Clown Speech, Setting Out to Obtain a Spirit Ring

Seemingly noticing the wary look in Chu Chen's eyes, the Middle-aged Man smiled slightly. "Don't worry. I'm the dean of Nuoding Academy."

"By the rules, every person with Innate Full Soul Power should receive attention. And since your Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, I was especially curious."

Hearing this, Chu Chen nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, in this era, Innate Full Soul Power was enough to qualify someone as a Top Genius. There were barely any such people.

No wonder he had immediately caught the dean's attention.

"Those with Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls who possess Soul Power are already exceedingly rare. But Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power is enough to prove its extraordinary nature. Therefore, it needs to be cultivated using a unique Cultivation Method."

With his hands behind his back, Yu Xiaogang strode solemnly over to Chu Chen and the dean. He appeared to be merely passing by, but he casually glanced at Chu Chen.

This should have caught his attention, right?

Chu Chen was speechless and rolled his eyes.

He happened to notice that the dean beside him had only smiled politely at Yu Xiaogang. Their relationship was not particularly good. If it were not for Yu Xiaogang's rather impressive reputation, he probably would have been thrown out long ago.

Only after hearing that Chu Chen's Martial Soul was also Blue Silver Grass did Tang San curiously turn his gaze toward him.

"Is the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul really this ordinary...?"

That thought lasted only an instant before a sense of superiority buried deep in his heart rose up.

After all, he possessed Twin Martial Souls.

"It seems the Grandmaster has a profound understanding of Blue Silver Grass," the dean said with a smile.

"I've merely done a little research. It just so happens that I encountered two children with Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls today, and I would like to take them as my disciples."

Yu Xiaogang directly stated his intentions.

Chu Chen rolled his eyes at him again, then turned and walked toward the exit. Where did this guy get such a sense of superiority?

What utter Clown Speech!

"You..."

When Yu Xiaogang saw that Chu Chen still ignored him, his face turned livid. Yet, for the sake of appearances, he still put on an unconcerned expression. "Hehe, Dean, this child may be somewhat withdrawn."

"Teacher, how should Blue Silver Grass be cultivated?" Tang San could not help asking curiously.

"Control and poison, of course."

Even though Chu Chen had long been mentally prepared, hearing those words from afar still made him laugh.

What was he thinking, taking a level-twenty-nine piece of trash as his teacher?

Just as Chu Chen was about to leave the academy, the dean caught up to him from behind. "Chu Chen, are you going out?"

"Yes, Dean. My family plans to take me to obtain my First Spirit Ring," Chu Chen said without changing his expression, giving his "reason."

"I see..."

The dean pondered for a moment. Perhaps he felt it was somewhat inappropriate, considering that the Opening Ceremony was tomorrow and formal classes would begin the day after. Not to mention that Work-Study Students also had to do a certain amount of work.

However, considering Chu Chen's uniquely gifted Innate Full Soul Power, he thought it over and ultimately agreed.

"Go on, child."

After thanking him, Chu Chen left Nuoding Academy first.

After leaving the academy, Chu Chen first bought a map. Though it was extremely rough, it was enough as long as he could roughly distinguish directions.

As he remembered, the Blue Silver King he needed for his First Spirit Ring was located within a special Small Forest almost entirely covered in Blue Silver Grass, bordering the Star Dou Forest.

But the Douluo Continent was vast. Searching without a destination would be no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

At this moment, the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline and Soul Bone he possessed became his only means of quickly locating the Blue Silver King.

That was also the purpose behind buying the map. A small place like Nuoding City naturally would not have a particularly detailed map. At most, it simply marked some major roads and important terrain.

"As long as it records the locations of forests, that'll do."

Chu Chen put away the map and arrived outside Nuoding City, where a group of coachmen were calling out for customers.

"..."

Chu Chen took out the small money pouch Village Chief Teague had given him. Though he did not particularly want to use it, he currently had no source of income.

He hired a carriage and headed for a place on the map that he had identified as a possible destination. The journey would likely not be short. Originally, Chu Chen had been worried about matters at the academy.

But now that he had the dean's assurance, he had no need to care!

"My research into the characteristics of Blue Silver Grass during this time, along with the tempering of my body, has all been for the First Spirit Ring..."

Chu Chen felt somewhat wistful. Everything he had accumulated was for his First Spirit Ring to possess a higher age limit.

Otherwise, with his previous physical condition, even if he accepted the Natal Spirit Ring produced by the Blue Silver King's sacrifice, its upper limit would probably have been only a hundred years.

Now, however, enduring a thousand-year Spirit Ring would not be a problem!

The surging Life force of Blue Silver Grass transformed into the most vigorous blood and vitality within his body as he cultivated. It could be said that his physical constitution was now incomparably stronger than that of others his age.

"The Blue Silver King itself is a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast, yet the upper limit of its Natal Spirit Ring can evolve into a 100,000-Year Spirit Ring... How could such a great opportunity be left to that loser?"

Watching the scenery rapidly retreat outside the carriage, Chu Chen began circulating his Soul Power and adjusting his condition within the carriage.

A day later.

At the Border Town adjoining the Star Dou Forest, Chu Chen arrived at a place where many Spirit Masters who made their living through hired work gathered.

Generally speaking, these Spirit Masters would enter the Star Dou Forest in groups to hunt Spirit Beasts, then collect the corresponding rewards.

"This town is gathered so close to the Star Dou Forest. If a Beast Tide erupts, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous..."

After making some necessary supplies in town, Chu Chen left alone and entered the nearby forest.

"I can only try it this way."

After entering this Ancient Forest, the towering trees blocked out the sky and sun, nearly causing him to lose his sense of direction.

Chu Chen placed his hand on the ground. Streams of azure light emerged, followed by clumps of Blue Silver Grass growing forth. Through his special connection with the Blue Silver Grass, Chu Chen could discern the information he needed.

"Searching like this will probably take some time."

Chu Chen released Blue Silver Grass, its golden patterns flickering, while he moved through this ocean formed entirely of Blue Silver Grass.

Yet only ordinary Blue Silver Grass existed here. Not a trace of a powerful aura could be found.

Clearly, the Blue Silver King was not in this region.

Blue-Gold Light surged around his calves as Chu Chen rose into the air and darted forward. Flying did not consume much Soul Power, and even Chu Chen in his current state could maintain flight for a certain period.

Very quickly, he arrived at an unfamiliar Ancient Forest. It bordered the Star Dou Forest, yet existed completely independently.
