Su Chen returned to his room and spent the entire night sorting through his thoughts.
He seemed to understand the function of this Soul Skill now.
Only after experiencing it personally did he realize that the world he woke up to was the real dream, while the other was reality.
After all, he had only lived for a dozen years in reality, but he might have lived for over fifty years in his dreams.
Therefore, the terrifying nature of this Soul Skill would only manifest slowly after waking from the dream.
The next day.
Su Chen finished writing the few hundred words Bibi Dong had requested regarding his experience absorbing the Soul Ring and his mindset when facing the Soul Beast, then headed toward her room.
He truly never expected that even after transmigrating, he would still have to write essays.
It seemed one could never escape the fate of studying in life.
"Teacher, are you awake? I'm coming in."
"Mm, come in."
Bibi Dong's voice suddenly drifted from inside the room.
Su Chen pushed open the door to find Bibi Dong sitting before her vanity in a light-colored nightgown, her beautiful wine-red hair cascading down.
The current Bibi Dong lacked the purple hair that gave her the air of a mature noblewoman.
Her youthful orange-red hair reflected a sense of greenness, and there was still a hint of innocence and romance in her eyes.
She held a comb to tidy her hair, a flash of complexity crossing her eyes as she looked at Su Chen, before returning to normal.
"This is what you asked me to write yesterday." Su Chen handed over the prepared essay: "I've finished it, Teacher, please take a look."
Bibi Dong reached out to take it, her beautiful eyes scanning the content: "These are all genuine feelings, not bad. It's just that your handwriting is too ugly; you need to practice more."
"Huh?"
Bibi Dong suddenly noticed that he had also included praise for her appearance after Martial Soul Possession, even calling her something like Lady Spider Queen.
A faint pink flush crept onto Bibi Dong's cheeks.
Who could resist being complimented?
The little guy's writing was a bit childish, but it suited his age, and more importantly, it touched her heart.
Seeing the smile on the corner of Bibi Dong's mouth, Su Chen spoke up appropriately: "Teacher, can you... give me some money?"
"Money?"
Bibi Dong was taken aback.
Come to think of it, this disciple of hers was still an orphan; he probably didn't even know what a Gold Soul Coin looked like.
Bibi Dong pondered for a moment, then took out a card and handed it over: "There are one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins here, spend them sparingly."
Hiss~
Su Chen was instantly shocked by Bibi Dong's extravagant generosity.
One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!
One had to know that the purchasing power of a single Gold Soul Coin was roughly enough to support the basic living expenses of an ordinary family of three for several months.
With one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins back in the countryside, he would be a local tycoon.
"Teacher, you're so rich!"
Su Chen took the card, his face beaming with a smile.
"Look at how sheltered you are."
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes prettily, subconsciously reaching out to pull and pinch Su Chen's cheeks.
Su Chen didn't mind; as long as she gave him money, she could bully him all she wanted.
Bibi Dong's movements suddenly paused slightly, then she withdrew her hand and patted his head: "Go down and cultivate properly!"
"Alright, Teacher. Teacher, I'd like to go out today; I want to return to the Orphanage to buy some things for the Vice Dean!"
"Mm, come back early!"
Bibi Dong nodded gently, watching Su Chen turn and leave.
Her expression was dazed.
This scene just now... it felt like it had happened in a dream before...
"What am I thinking? A dream is just a dream; how could it be mixed up with reality? And Su Chen wouldn't look at me with such strange eyes..."
Carrying his massive fortune, Su Chen walked with his hands in his pockets.
He left Martial Soul Hall and headed straight for a grocery store in Martial Soul City.
There was a treasure on the Douluo Continent that had yet to be discovered by anyone—Whale Rubber!
It was an excellent supreme treasure for tempering a Soul Master's physique.
It can forcibly expand the limits of the physical body's endurance.
With it, the second Soul Ring will be at least a purple thousand-year one.
Beyond a powerful Soul Skill, a thousand-year Soul Ring can also slightly improve one's overall aptitude.
A stable foundation is a great help on the path to becoming a Titled Douluo.
Su Chen had long wanted to get his hands on this stuff.
Alas, he was an orphan with not a single coin in his pocket.
Martial Soul City was bustling with people as usual today, and Su Chen found a shop.
He walked up to the counter, tilting his head back to look at the clerk.
"Do you have Whale Rubber for sale?"
"What a cute little white-haired boy!"
Su Chen rolled his eyes and repeated, "Do you have Whale Rubber?"
"Giggle!"
The female clerk saw him roll his eyes with a hint of disdain.
She felt this little guy was even cuter.
She stepped out from behind the counter and couldn't help but bend down, her eyes filled with amusement: "Little one, Whale Rubber is a type of medicine. You're too young to eat it; I'm afraid you'll explode."
Su Chen glanced at Gou Gu and waved the card in his hand back and forth.
The female clerk's eyes lit up: "It seems the little brother is a little rich kid. How much do you want?"
"I have two portions of hundred-year Whale Rubber here, worth three hundred Gold Soul Coins."
"Two portions of thousand-year, worth four hundred Gold Soul Coins."
"I'll take them all!"
Su Chen raised his foot, wanting to slap the card onto the counter, but he wasn't tall enough; his hand veered off and slapped directly into Gou He.
"Little brother, wait a moment."
The clerk held her hands together, smiling like a flower, not minding the little guy's behavior at all. She turned around, leaving behind a view of her shapely hips, and began rummaging through the shelves.
A moment later.
She took down a jade box, and after opening it, a faint fishy smell drifted out.
"Little brother, if you insist on eating it, you can eat it right here."
"I can take responsibility for roasting it for you once."
"If you really are about to explode, big sister might be able to help save you."
Su Chen took the box, put away the card, and turned to walk out of the shop:
"Tch, I don't need it. If I explode, that's art."
"With no roots and no distracting thoughts, I shall be invincible on the path of cultivation!"
In the Pope Palace, Bibi Dong's expression was extremely ugly.
Qian Xunji sat firmly on the chair symbolizing the Pope, frowning as he listened to the report from his subordinates regarding Su Chen.
As yet another individual with Innate Full Soul Power in Martial Soul Hall, every move Su Chen made was under their surveillance.
His purchase of Whale Rubber naturally could not escape the notice of the Soul Masters following him in the shadows.
As everyone knew, for a little guy like him to buy such things was a bit too precocious.
"Teacher, has Su Chen been affected by his Martial Soul?"
Having experienced the events in her dreams, Bibi Dong still had some trust in Su Chen.
Moreover, at his age, even if he were truly acting recklessly, he shouldn't need this kind of thing.
"It is possible. His Martial Soul is yin-aligned, and it is a Martial Soul none of us have ever seen before."
"Dong'er, go see what this kid is actually trying to do before making a decision..."
"Thank you, Teacher!"
Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed Qian Xunji had not expressed too much disappointment in Su Chen.
She left the Pope Palace with quick steps.
She suppressed her anger.
Yet, in her heart, she told herself that Su Chen would not act recklessly.
Just as Bibi Dong stepped into the Saintess's courtyard, she heard strange sounds coming from the room. The voices were all too familiar—they were the voices of her personal maid and her disciple.
"How do you eat this?"
"Just swallow it directly. You can try the Whale Rubber first, though the taste will be a bit fishy."
"It is a bit fishy, but it's... it's still acceptable."
