At that moment, Leng Yaozhu felt as though she had stumbled upon a treasure.

Su Chen's performance in the Spirit Ascension Platform had already exceeded her expectations. In her eyes, he could stand alongside Yun Ming.

But the talent revealed by this test left her utterly stunned.

Su Chen's aptitude had already surpassed Yun Ming's when he was young.

She just did not know how his comprehension was.

Yun Ming's strength lay not merely in his cultivation talent, but in his comprehension.

There were countless gifted people across the continent, yet only Yun Ming stood at the very peak of it all—the universally acknowledged strongest man on the continent, with no one questioning it.

With Su Chen's talent, he did not need comprehension equal to Yun Ming's. As long as it was not too poor, he would certainly become one of the strongest in the future.

"Teacher, why are you looking at me like that..."

Su Chen felt a little uncomfortable under Leng Yaozhu's gaze. It felt as though a predator had its eyes on him, making him instinctively shrink his neck.

"What a little monster..."

Leng Yaozhu shook her head with a soft laugh. Her tone was filled with emotion, along with something indescribable.

As far as she knew, Su Chen also possessed Twin Martial Souls.

Twin Martial Soul Soul Masters of this era did not have much of an advantage.

That was because they simply could not bear eighteen Soul Rings. Twin Martial Souls were destined to be incomplete.

But Su Chen was different. With such terrifying spiritual power, he might truly have hope of becoming the only terrifying powerhouse of this era to possess eighteen Soul Rings.

Even if his comprehension was somewhat lacking, he should still be able to surpass Yun Ming.

"Thank you for the praise, Teacher~"

Su Chen grinned, showing no modesty whatsoever.

"Alright, I more or less understand your situation now."

Leng Yaozhu smiled. "I will prepare a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit for you to serve as the Soul Spirit of your Second Martial Soul. However, your spiritual power will need to improve a little more first, or you will not be able to absorb it."

A Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit was worth over a hundred million, and was sometimes impossible to buy at any price. Those without sufficient status could not purchase one at all, and even within the Spirit Pagoda, they were exceedingly rare.

However, with her level of authorization, she naturally qualified to purchase one. Moreover, she could obtain the best available.

A Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit was the limit of artificial Soul Spirits.

However, Soul Spirits could be evolved through the Spirit Pagoda. With Su Chen's abilities, even evolving a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit to one hundred thousand years would not be a problem.

That was why she wanted to choose one with the greatest potential for him.

"Really? Thank you, Teacher!"

Su Chen's face immediately lit up with delight.

Sure enough, he had known at a glance that Leng Yaozhu was a wealthy woman.

A Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit was worth over a hundred million and was nearly impossible to buy at any price.

Su Chen had money, and he also had Mu Chen's connections, but purchasing a suitable one would still have been incredibly difficult.

Yet after becoming Leng Yaozhu's disciple, she arranged one for him immediately.

Now that was true extravagance!

Although Leng Yaozhu would not have much impact on Su Chen's future even without her help, having her assistance could greatly accelerate his growth. The value for money was still extremely high.

"What is that worth? The Spirit Pagoda is one of the continent's strongest powers. Since you have joined the Spirit Pagoda and are also my only disciple, I naturally have to give you the best."

Leng Yaozhu rubbed Su Chen's head, her gaze becoming increasingly kind and gentle.

"However..."

Seemingly recalling something, Leng Yaozhu said blandly, "However, after joining the Spirit Pagoda, there are a few things you must keep in mind..."

"Please tell me, Teacher."

Su Chen hurriedly put on a serious, obedient expression, looking exceptionally well-behaved.

"The Spirit Pagoda and the Tang Sect can be considered competitors. With the talent you have displayed, someone from the Tang Sect may try to recruit you in the future..."

"Rest assured, Teacher. I absolutely will not have anything to do with the Tang Sect!" Before Leng Yaozhu could finish, Su Chen patted his chest and made his guarantee.

Su Chen had not planned on joining the Tang Sect in the first place.

"Hehe, there is no need to be so nervous. As long as you do not join the Tang Sect, that is enough. I am not asking you to become enemies with its people. We are merely competitors." Leng Yaozhu explained with a smile, clearly quite satisfied with Su Chen's attitude.

With Su Chen's talent, he would certainly enter Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy was on good terms with the Tang Sect, and she truly feared that the Tang Sect would poach him.

"There is one more thing..."

Then she seemed to think of something and continued, "Given your talent, you should be able to enter Shrek Academy in the future. Shrek Academy's teaching is indeed among the best on the continent, and I will not stop you from joining it. However, there is one person you cannot take as your teacher."

"Who?"

Su Chen feigned curiosity.

"The continent's strongest man—Yun Ming."

Leng Yaozhu slowly spoke those words. When she said the name "Yun Ming," a deep, complicated emotion flashed through her eyes, as though she had recalled some past event.

"The continent's strongest man..."

Su Chen murmured to himself, feigning shock.

"What? Do you think your teacher is inferior to him, or are you regretting this already?" Leng Yaozhu raised an eyebrow slightly when she saw Su Chen spacing out.

"Of course not. I just think... Teacher may have some history with that Yun Ming~"

Su Chen chuckled. "But do not worry, Teacher. If you have a grudge against him, then once I grow stronger, I will definitely defeat him with my own hands and avenge you!"

"You little brat, you certainly talk big."

Leng Yaozhu rolled her eyes at Su Chen, then said somewhat wistfully, "It is not that we have a grudge. It is just..."

She did not continue. Instead, she looked at Su Chen and said seriously, "You cannot come into contact with these matters yet. Your talent is indeed greater than his, but surpassing him will still be very difficult."

Leng Yaozhu did not dare speak too absolutely either, because Yun Ming was simply too powerful.

Everyone who had fought him shared the same thought—he was unbeatable!

She did not actually have absolute confidence that she could raise Su Chen to the point where he could defeat Yun Ming. It was merely that the potential Su Chen had displayed so far allowed her to see an opportunity.

It was true that Su Chen was growing quickly.

But Yun Ming could not possibly remain stagnant.

Even though Yun Ming had already reached the peak of this world, he was still constantly improving.

"It seems the person Teacher mentioned is very strong. If I want to defeat him, I will have to work hard." Su Chen sighed softly and encouraged himself.

"Alright, we can talk about these matters later. Do you have any other questions? If not, go back for now. Starting tomorrow, you must spend an hour here every day for lessons. I will gradually train you, but I will not put too much pressure on you."

Leng Yaozhu waved her hand lightly.

She would not be overly strict in training her students, especially geniuses. She would only guide them.

As long as Su Chen did not stray down the wrong path, that was enough.

"Um, Teacher... can I take a picture of you?"

Su Chen took out his camera and spoke somewhat awkwardly.

He could photograph others casually, but in the presence of a powerhouse like Leng Yaozhu, taking pictures without permission could easily get him killed. He had to obtain her consent first.

"What, you have that kind of hobby?"

Leng Yaozhu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"I just like recording life and freezing beautiful moments in an instant, so I can take them out and remember them later~"

Su Chen explained.

"Alright, alright, go ahead and take it. You are so young, yet you already know quite a lot." Leng Yaozhu gave Su Chen a helpless look, but still agreed.

She took several steps back and leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, assuming a languid posture. Looking at Su Chen, an enigmatic smile curled across her lips.

She appeared casual, yet her eyes revealed the breathtaking charm of a mature woman, enough to intoxicate anyone.

Click—

Su Chen pressed the shutter, permanently capturing that moment.
