Ideas for Soul Skills

["He... he won?"]

["How is that possible?!"]

["Brother Wang is a Soul Ancestor!"]

[At that moment, the students watching from the side could not believe their eyes. Wang Batian's strength ranked among the top five in the entire academy, yet Su Chen had easily knocked him down.]

[Amid the silence, Bibi Dong was the first to recover. She shouted excitedly as she ran over to Su Chen.]

["He won!"]

["Su Chen, you really won!"]

[Her beautiful eyes were filled with irrepressible delight.]

[Seeing this, who knew how many students at the edge of the arena turned green with envy.]

[But at this point, no one dared to step forward and say another word.]

[Wang Batian was already the strongest among them. Anyone with half a brain would not go looking for trouble.]

Meanwhile, beyond the Sky Screen.

The instant Wang Batian fell, Yu Xiaogang was completely stunned.

His mouth hung slightly open, and the disdain on his face had not even faded before his whole body froze in place.

"Th-this is impossible!"

"He's only a Soul Grandmaster. How could he possibly defeat a Soul Ancestor?"

Tang San, standing nearby, remained silent for a long while.

His gaze was fixed firmly on the Sky Screen as every detail of that battle replayed over and over in his mind.

Others could not understand it, but he did.

Su Chen's victory was not luck.

It was because that cultivation method had truly strengthened Su Chen's body by a massive degree.

His speed, strength, resilience, and control over the rhythm of battle had all far surpassed what an ordinary Soul Grandmaster should possess.

The feeling was similar to the Mysterious Heaven Skill he cultivated.

At that thought, Tang San's breathing quickened.

"Sure enough, I still have to shatter my Martial Soul. Blue Silver Grass? Even dogs wouldn't use it!"

At that moment, Tang San became even more determined to shatter his Martial Soul.

At Shrek Academy, Zhu Zhuqing was likewise deeply shaken by the battle.

She watched Su Chen on the Sky Screen, her eyes gleaming with wonder.

If she could obtain a cultivation method like Su Chen's, her physical strength and combat power would certainly soar.

Then, she might not be unable to defeat her sister, Zhu Zhuyun!

At that thought, Zhu Zhuqing slowly clenched her fists.

Meanwhile, the Sky Screen's comment section completely erupted.

[Shui Yue'er]: He won! He really won! This Su Chen is way too fierce!

[Huo Wu]: A Soul Grandmaster knocked out a Soul Ancestor head-on? That's ridiculous!

[Feng Xiaotian]: Ahem! If you ask me, Wang Batian was just too careless. He didn't take Su Chen seriously at all and fought recklessly, which gave Su Chen the chance to catch him off guard.

[Yue Guan]: It isn't that simple. From what I can see, Su Chen's physique has already reached the level of a Soul Elder.

Watching the comments flood across the Sky Screen, Yu Xiaogang broke down again.

He had originally been eagerly waiting to see Su Chen make a fool of himself! Instead, he got slapped in the face again.

[Su Chen glanced at Wang Batian lying on the ground, his expression as calm as ever.]

[For him, the greatest gain from this battle was not the victory.]

[It was realizing what he currently lacked.]

[He had fought before on the road to Spirit City, but those opponents had all been worthless trash, presenting no challenge at all.]

[This time, while the process had not been especially difficult either, it had made his shortcomings crystal clear.]

[He lacked offensive methods—methods similar to Soul Skills. Until now, he had always relied on speed and strength in a fight, without truly making use of Soul Power.]

[At that thought, Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.]

[Seeing that Su Chen had ignored her for so long, Bibi Dong could not help waving a hand in front of his eyes.]

["Su Chen, Su Chen!"]

[Only then did Su Chen snap out of his thoughts about Soul Skills and look at Bibi Dong.]

["What is it?"]

[Seeing that Su Chen had clearly not taken in the praise she had just given him, Bibi Dong felt a little dejected. This was the first time in her life that she had doubted her own charm.]

[Then she sighed and said.]

["It's nothing! Let's keep looking around the academy!"]

Seeing this, countless viewers beyond the Sky Screen felt sour. Why did someone as unromantic as Su Chen get to win Bibi Dong's favor?!

Someone could not help posting a comment.

[Extra A]: Damn it! Why can someone like Su Chen attract beautiful women when I can't?!

[Extra B]: I'm officially jealous. If I could win Bibi Dong's favor, I'd be willing to become a Title Douluo!

[Passerby C]: Brother above, that's a bit too much. Why are you trying to have it both ways?!

[Hu Liena]: How dare you! Is Her Holiness the Pope someone you can casually gossip about?!

Just as everyone was discussing things heatedly, Hu Liena's comment suddenly appeared. In an instant, the comment section fell silent, and cold sweat soaked the backs of everyone who had just posted.

Only then did they remember that the innocent, carefree girl in the footage was the current Pope of Spirit Hall—and a Title Douluo.

[Su Chen did not refuse Bibi Dong's suggestion, and the two continued strolling through Martial Soul Academy.]

[But unlike before, this time, everyone they passed hurriedly stepped aside.]

[When many looked at Su Chen, their eyes held obvious wariness.]

[Along the way, Bibi Dong was clearly even more enthusiastic than she had been that morning.]

[One moment, she introduced Martial Soul Academy's Mimicry Cultivation Zone.]

[The next, she introduced its various branches and teachers.]

[Along the way, she could not resist asking Su Chen several more questions about cultivation.]

[Su Chen listened while answering casually.]

[Time slowly passed amid their conversation.]

[The sky gradually darkened. Seeing that it was getting late, Su Chen stopped and looked at Bibi Dong.]

["Where is Spirit City's prison?"]

[As soon as he said that, Bibi Dong froze for a moment.]

[She clearly had not expected Su Chen to suddenly ask such a question.]

["The prison?"]

["Why are you asking about that?"]

[Faced with Bibi Dong's confusion, Su Chen did not hide anything and answered directly.]

["For my later research, I'll need some experimental materials."]

["Living people may be required among them."]

["So I was thinking of going to the prison to select some death-row inmates or people guilty of heinous crimes. They could be used for future experiments."]

[Hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression changed again and again.]

[At first, she was filled with shock.]

[Then, hesitation and reluctance unconsciously appeared in her eyes.]

[After a moment of silence, she finally spoke softly.]

["Using people for experiments..."]

["Wouldn't that be too cruel?"]
