A few months passed in a hurry.
Su Chen's days were also very fulfilling.
He studied forging with Mu Xi during the day and went for date drives with Ouyang Zixin in the afternoon.
At night, he would go back to have dinner and play with Na'er. At the same time, Su Chen told Na'er stories and instilled all kinds of knowledge in her to help Na'er integrate into human society faster.
Na'er's memories still had not awakened.
And precisely because of this, Na'er's favorability grew at a flying speed, having already reached a terrifying 89 points!
This also brought Su Chen a 39% permanent cultivation speed bonus.
Ouyang Zixin's favorability reached 70%, bringing Su Chen a 20% permanent cultivation speed bonus.
Mu Xi's favorability reached 65%, bringing Su Chen a 15% permanent cultivation speed bonus.
The system granted all kinds of attribute bonuses, and even comprehension attributes were boosted, but it just refused to increase cultivation speed, leaving Su Chen to rely solely on grinding favorability.
Su Chen had already reached level 18, and his cultivation speed was astonishing. His spiritual power had even reached 480 points, placing one foot inside the threshold of the Spirit Sea Realm.
At the same time, in terms of forging.
Su Chen could already easily achieve grade-one Thousand-Refinement, which was semi-Spirit-Refinement.
Normal Soul Masters might not even manage a few Thousand-Refinements in a month, but Su Chen could settle it in ten minutes, and he did it casually at that.
Even if Su Chen only worked eight hours a day, Su Chen's daily income from hammering iron alone far exceeded the total income of the entire Su Family.
At this moment, Su Chen could truly be described as wealthy.
Even Mu Xi turned green with envy upon seeing it.
Su Chen was currently considered a quasi-level-five blacksmith, with his cultivation being the only thing lacking.
After all, Spirit-Refinement required imbuing metal with life, and one needed at least Soul Elder cultivation to support a complete Spirit-Refinement.
Su Chen's foundation was profound, so a Soul Grandmaster should be able to perform Spirit-Refinement easily.
However, before that, Su Chen also planned to upgrade his Soul Spirit.
Currently, Su Chen was still at the Spirit Connection Realm and unable to bear a black Soul Spirit, so he could only upgrade his First Martial Soul Soul Spirit first, raising it from a hundred-year one to around three, four, five, six, seven, or eight thousand years no matter what.
As for the Second Martial Soul's Soul Spirit, it had to start at ten thousand years at the very least. Su Chen's spiritual power was still a bit lacking right now, so he would wait until he reached the Spirit Sea Realm to discuss it.
And for this day, Su Chen had also waited for a long time, deliberately waiting for the Riot Period of the Spirit Ascension Platform so that he could maximize his gains.
"Whoohoo—"
The sports car roared.
Su Chen parked the car in front of the Blacksmith Association.
In front of the building with the Blacksmith Association's iconic hammer logo, two pretty figures who had been waiting for a long time immediately caught his eye.
They were precisely Mu Xi and Ouyang Zixin.
Since they were going to the Spirit Ascension Platform in the Spirit Pagoda today, both of them had changed into tight-fitting combat suits that were convenient for movement.
Mu Xi wore a dark red leather tight-fitting vest on her upper body, outlining her graceful curves while her slender waist and smooth shoulder and arm lines were exposed without reservation.
On her lower body, she wore a pair of leather ultra-short shorts of the same color, short to just the right degree, presenting her pair of jade-white, fair thighs without any reservation.
She wore a pair of black combat ankle boots on her feet, setting off the graceful and neat lines of her lower legs.
Her dazzling long golden hair was tied into a high ponytail, and the whole person exuded a dashing and capable heroic spirit.
Standing next to her, Ouyang Zixin wore a light blue tight-fitting combat suit on her upper body as well. The material seemed lighter, thinner, and more breathable, perfectly fitting her body shape, and the plump curve on her chest was even more obvious than Mu Xi's.
Her lower body was also a pair of leather ultra-short shorts, but the color was a more vibrant silver-gray.
These shorts seemed even a bit shorter than Mu Xi's, maximizing the advantage of her pair of snow-white, extraordinarily long legs that could be called perfect.
Because of her Martial Soul, Ouyang Zixin's legs were not only long, but also had excellent proportions, smooth and firm lines, and were filled with the elasticity and vitality unique to athletic girls.
Her smooth long blue hair was also tied into a high ponytail, which, paired with her bright smile, exuded a sunny vibe.
"Little Chen~"
Seeing Su Chen's arrival, Mu Xi's originally cold cheeks instantly blossomed like flowers, revealing a brilliant smile.
"Little Chen, junior brother, you're here~"
Ouyang Zixin also smiled gracefully.
"Senior sister, fellow senior sister, let's go together to the Spirit Pagoda~"
Su Chen lowered the car window, poked his head out, and greeted them with a bright smile on his face.
His gaze swept quickly over the two of them, lingering for a brief moment especially on those dazzling pairs of long legs...
They were already so impressive now; when they grew up a bit more, it would simply be...
"What are you looking at? Behave."
Noticing Su Chen's gaze, Mu Xi pulled open the front passenger door and sat in, casually pinching the soft flesh around Su Chen's waist neither lightly nor heavily, her tone carrying a hint of spoiled, reproachful warning.
If the two of them were getting along on ordinary days and Su Chen acted slightly unruly, she would just pretend not to see it.
But Ouyang Zixin was still watching now, and as his senior sister, she couldn't let Su Chen run wild.
"Cackle~"
Ouyang Zixin covered her mouth and snickered.
She was very familiar with this guy Su Chen, and was not surprised by this at all, which was why she had specially put on light makeup today.
"Alright, alright, let's go, don't be late."
Su Chen took a light breath, his face still smiling and cheerful.
"Vroom—"
He started the soul guidance sports car, and the low roar sounded again.
Ouyang Zixin sat in the back seat. She leaned her upper body forward slightly, her voice soft, but carrying deep gratitude, "Little Chen, thank you..."
Although her family background was considered well-off, it was far inferior compared to Su Chen and Mu Xi's.
A Primary Spirit Ascension Platform quota cost 500,000 Federal Coins.
For her to be able to enter once a year was already the limit, and that was an investment by her family into her talent.
However, the Spirit Ascension Platform during the Riot Period occurred twice a year in the entire Eastsea City, with three hundred quotas each time.
Each quota exceeded one million Federal Coins and was in high demand.
Yet Su Chen gave her one so easily...
This favor was truly too heavy.
Su Chen was so good to her that she didn't even know how to repay him...
It was just a pity that she was too young right now.
When she grew up a bit more, she would really be willing to give him her body...
Thinking about it, a clear blush also appeared on Ouyang Zixin's face.
"Senior sister Zixin doesn't need to say these things. Buying a quota doesn't count for much to me; this is what friends should do~"
Su Chen smiled and waved his hand.
"Mm!" Ouyang Zixin nodded forcefully, feeling warm inside.
At this moment, Mu Xi, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned her head.
Her pretty golden ponytail swept across the back of the chair with her movement.
Mu Xi looked at Su Chen, her tone carrying a trace of worry: "Little Chen, what you said earlier about your strength being very strong—strong enough to protect us inside the Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform... Is it true?"
"The Spirit Ascension Platform during this period basically consists of terrifying three-ring powerhouses..."
It wasn't that she didn't believe Su Chen, she was just afraid that Su Chen would be careless and didn't know the danger of the Spirit Ascension Platform during the Riot Period.
Those who entered it during this period were basically three-ring powerhouses, and furthermore geniuses of the entire Eastsea City. Having expended such a large price, if they got kicked to death by someone the moment they stepped inside, it would be a huge loss.
Even though Su Chen was rich, this money didn't blow in on the wind.
"Rest assured, Sister Mu Xi, they're just trash Soul Elders; I can take them down one kick each."
Su Chen possessed absolute confidence in his current strength.
Although his cultivation was still at the One-Ring Soul Master realm, after the attribute point bonuses from taking photos and checking in multiple times, his physical fitness had long since reached an unfathomable level.
Matched with [Infinite Teleportation] and [Time Stop], Soul Elders were truly no different from ants in front of him, capable of being kicked to death with a single blow.
Of course, without needing to use teleportation and time stop, Su Chen could also easily kick all competitors to death, it just required spending a little more time.
