Gu Yue's Thoughts

"Zzzt--"

Su Chen tore it apart casually, shredding Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass with ease.

However, the Blue Silver Grass was endless and still wrapped around Su Chen's face, making him somewhat speechless...

"Forget it, I don't have time to play with you guys."

"Soul Suppression--"

Su Chen directly released his first soul skill.

"Buzz--"

A powerful mental shock erupted, instantly sweeping across the entire venue.

"Ah--"

"So painful!!"

"Damn it, it's a mental attack!"

As soon as the thousand-year soul skill was unleashed, all five people on the field clutched their heads in pain and writhed on the ground.

Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, and Wei Xiaofeng hadn't even managed to unleash a single soul skill before they were in agony.

Xie Xie fainted directly.

Tang Wulin, however, had strong spiritual power. Despite the immense pain, he gritted his teeth tightly, and a faint golden light even flickered on his body.

Obviously.

Under the immense pressure, the protagonist was about to unleash his power, and Tang Wulin's bloodline power was activated in his moment of desperation.

"Alright, the battle is over, Su Chen wins."

Just then, Wu Zhangkong stopped the fight in time.

Although he could see that Su Chen had held back, these students were just kids with weak willpower. Prolonging the fight might damage their spiritual power.

Of course, the main reason was the vast difference in strength.

There was simply no need to continue fighting.

He had initially thought that with the five of them working together, Su Chen would at least have to get a little serious.

He never expected...

He had still underestimated Su Chen.

At one point, he even felt a trace of threat from Su Chen.

He was a Soul Emperor, and a Soul Emperor with Two-Word Battle Armor at that, yet he could feel threatened by a mere Soul Elder. This was completely impossible.

But he was sure that he wouldn't have misjudged.

This made him even more curious about Su Chen.

Clearly, Su Chen's secrets were far more than what he had shown.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen directly retracted his martial soul and smiled faintly at the people lying on the ground: "I concede."

Zhang Yangzi:...

Wei Xiaofeng:...

Wang Jinxi:...

Tang Wulin:...

Xie Xie:...&%%￥&...%...

"Alright, today's practical combat ends here. From now on, Su Chen will be your class monitor. Does anyone have any objections?"

Wu Zhangkong asked the students.

"No, no..."

Everyone shook their heads in unison, their movements extremely synchronized, and their gazes towards Su Chen were filled with terror.

"Alright, Su Chen, you are free to move. You don't need to participate in physical training, but you still need to attend other classes. At the same time, I will create a personalized training plan for you."

Wu Zhangkong said to Su Chen.

He had also noticed Su Chen's powerful physique; ordinary physical training would have no effect on him.

He needed to re-evaluate Su Chen's combat strength and formulate a new training plan.

Of course, the most important part would be for Su Chen to spar with him.

However...

The combat strength Su Chen displayed today made him inexplicably a little nervous.

What if... what if he got injured by Su Chen? Wouldn't that be a huge loss of face...

Therefore, the training couldn't take place in public or be seen by others.

"Okay, teacher."

Su Chen nodded, then went straight to the lounge nearby to drink tea.

"Alright, everyone else, go outside and run laps."

Wu Zhangkong looked at the group, returning to his usual stern state as he spoke coldly.

Everyone was dejected, but they dared not say a word.

The day's lessons ended quickly.

Su Chen was relaxed, but the students of Class One had been given a harsh wake-up call, and they were all exhausted like dogs.

Only Tang Wulin had a better constitution, still having some strength left after the training.

With the start of the school term, life gradually became mundane.

Blacksmith Association.

Cen Yue and Mu Chen watched Tang Wulin forging, feeling deeply moved.

"What a truly gifted seedling for forging. It's a pity I already have a disciple, otherwise, I would certainly take on another."

Mu Chen sighed with emotion.

Tang Wulin's displayed talent was outstanding, and he truly had the potential to become a Divine Craftsman in the future.

But compared to Su Chen, he was far behind, as Su Chen was destined to become a Divine Craftsman.

Once a person's standards were raised, it was hard to go back.

However, if the opportunity arose, he could recommend Tang Wulin to his senior brother Zhen Hua; it would definitely make Zhen Hua owe him a massive, unbeatable favor!

Spirit Pagoda.

In the cultivation room, Gu Yue slowly opened her eyes.

Behind her, two purple soul rings slowly emerged.

"I didn't expect level 25 to be the limit. That guy, how exactly does he cultivate?" Gu Yue muttered softly, feeling quite indignant.

In order to catch up to Su Chen's cultivation level, she had spared no effort to use more of her origin power ahead of schedule to boost her strength.

It was just a pity that level 25 was her limit.

If she used too much, it would affect her future.

For a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to take human form, the essence was to seal one's origin power.

The stronger the cultivation, the more difficult it was to seal the origin.

Therefore, it was easiest for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to take human form; fierce beasts exceeding 100,000 years could not take human form to recultivate because their origin was too strong, to the point where it could not be sealed.

She was an exception, however, because she was a god and naturally not bound by such constraints.

Nevertheless, after taking human form, she still had to cultivate from scratch.

As she cultivated, the origin power would gradually unseal and convert into cultivation base, which was why soul beasts taking human form generally had fast cultivation speeds and great strength.

But if too much was unsealed in the early stages, while cultivation could rise rapidly, it would greatly weaken future potential.

Level 25 was her limit; to raise it further would damage her foundation, a loss that outweighed the gain.

"Gu Yue, your talent is considered top-tier even within the Spirit Pagoda, but compared to your senior brother, it is still lacking quite a bit."

Leng Yaozhu looked at the second disciple she had taken in, her eyes full of admiration.

Gu Yue's talent was only a hair's breadth behind Yun Ming.

"Hmph, I will surpass him sooner or later. I want to be his senior sister!" Gu Yue snorted coldly.

She was actually somewhat reluctant to apprentice under Leng Yaozhu, as she knew Leng Yaozhu was Su Chen's master; if she apprenticed, she would be Su Chen's junior sister...

But...

Leng Yaozhu offered far too much.

When she sent Na'er to Shrek Academy, she had stopped by the Spirit Pagoda to purchase a soul spirit, but she was short on funds, and her soul beast faction had only just started, so she couldn't afford a thousand-year soul spirit at all...

Then she met Leng Yaozhu.

And then she became Leng Yaozhu's disciple.

And then she had a thousand-year soul ring.

However, she still had a very good impression of Leng Yaozhu, as Leng Yaozhu was indeed very good to her.

"Hehe, having ambition is a good thing, but you must also be prepared, as that senior brother of yours is no ordinary genius~"

"Since your cultivation has stabilized, go to Eastsea Academy in a few days. I will write you a recommendation letter, and you can go and meet that senior brother of yours."

Leng Yaozhu covered her mouth and giggled.

She was also looking forward to Su Chen and Gu Yue meeting.

Although she hadn't taken Gu Yue in for long, she was very clear about Gu Yue's personality. She was extremely competitive, unwilling to be subservient to others, possessed the potential to be a leader, and was also very talented.

If she had met an ordinary genius, Gu Yue would definitely have surpassed them.

But unfortunately, she was born at the wrong time and met Su Chen.

Leng Yaozhu had already thought about how she would comfort Gu Yue when she returned next time...
