Calm Down, Calm Down, Strike Quickly!

Fortunately, Neuvillette did not take offense to the matter.

His gaze shifted toward Chen Zhou.

"Since you are here today, we shall begin. I will improve your combat techniques and tactical approach from this moment on."

"How are we going to improve, Master? I'm only six years old; it's not exactly easy to enhance combat skills at this age, is it?"

Chen Zhou looked at Neuvillette, his eyes filled with curiosity, but Neuvillette merely shook his head with calm composure.

"The method for improving combat training is actually quite simple. Tell me, what could possibly help you remember a lesson better than death itself?"

Neuvillette's voice was soft, but as he finished speaking, the orb of water in his hand shot out violently, the terrifying stream piercing directly through Chen Zhou's chest.

Chen Zhou's body collapsed to the ground in the next instant, only to reappear in the same spot less than a second later.

Chen Zhou gasped for air, his face etched with disbelief.

"This is the first point I wish to teach you: regardless of who you are facing, you must maintain sufficient vigilance. Even if the person is someone close to you, you must remain on your guard."

"One should not have the heart to harm others, but one must have the heart to guard against them."

After Neuvillette finished speaking, he raised his hand again, but before he could act, Chen Zhou's voice rang out.

"Calm."

Chen Zhou spoke only that single word. Neuvillette paused for a moment, yet he had no intention of stopping.

However, before the orb of light in Neuvillette's hand could be unleashed, a deep blue serpent surged out from beneath Chen Zhou's feet.

A mass of water condensed in the serpent's maw and was violently expelled, while simultaneously, Chen Zhou's first soul skill descended from behind him.

As Chen Zhou's first soul skill, Clear Stream Dragon Breath possessed not only immense destructive power but also utilized the energy of the Primordial Sea itself.

At this stage, Neuvillette had suppressed his own strength to a level comparable to a two-ring soul master.

Facing this sudden attack, even he was caught off guard for a split second.

But he was, after all, vastly experienced—especially in his current state as the complete Dragon Sovereign.

Even though he had forcibly suppressed his strength to be only one level higher than Chen Zhou, his reaction speed and overall capabilities were far beyond what Chen Zhou could match.

Neuvillette surged forward, and the small serpent's body was severed by a stream of water while still in mid-air.

The Clear Stream Dragon Breath collided with the orb of light in Neuvillette's hand, and in the next instant, Neuvillette vanished, reappearing directly in front of Chen Zhou.

His timing was impeccable, and a rare, faint smile graced his calm, stern face.

As he raised his palm, Chen Zhou was struck down once more.

A second later, Chen Zhou reappeared in the same spot, looking resentful.

Neuvillette was primarily teaching him how to grasp the finer details, though none of his individual actions were explicitly meant to instruct Chen Zhou on technical nuances.

Yet, having been killed so many times and grown accustomed to such deaths, Chen Zhou found that the more desperate the situation, the more accurately he could grasp the state of affairs.

This was a profound technique, and it was only because of some strange phenomenon that allowed the two to engage in such slaughter within a dream that Chen Zhou was able to hone it.

However, no matter how resilient Chen Zhou's mental strength was, he could not endure being killed over a dozen times.

He jolted awake, slamming a hand onto his desk and flipping it over.

Teacher Yue stopped his lecture on the podium, his gaze fixed sharply on Chen Zhou.

It was one thing for this boy not to listen to the lesson, but his sudden movement had also disturbed Na'er.

When Na'er saw Chen Zhou wake up in a panic and overturn the desk, her face first showed a hint of confusion, but she quickly moved to help set the desk back up.

"Brother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, just had a nightmare."

Chen Zhou shook his head, took the thermos Na'er handed him, and sipped the hot water, his demeanor easing slightly.

Perhaps because he was a transmigrator, even though he hadn't tested his mental strength while at the Qiangu Clan, he understood that his mental fortitude was exceptionally high.

That was why, despite being killed over ten times in the dream, he was still able to function perfectly well.

The school day passed quickly. Although East Sea Primary Academy was the best academy in East Sea City, the students were, after all, only six-year-old children.

They could not attend school for the entire day, so most of their classes were held only in the morning.

Except for the occasional afternoon session, they mostly only had classes until noon.

As the morning classes concluded, two small figures walked out of the classroom. By coincidence, Chen Zhou ran into the blond-haired boy once again.

However, this time the blond boy did not look at him, but instead glanced at the adorable Na'er beside him.

Compared to the original timeline, Na'er, who was now with Chen Zhou, was much more lively and cheerful.

Perhaps because of her better home environment, the Na'er here did not have to worry about other things.

She only needed to eat delicious food to her heart's content and live every day happily.

Because she was so cute, the older girls would always give her snacks and milk candies after meals.

At this moment, Na'er had her mouth stuffed with milk candy, chewing like a hamster while holding Chen Zhou's hand.

Chen Zhou glanced at the blond little boy, but since he didn't recognize who the other party was, he couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind.

"Brother, Big Sister Su Xin said she's going to take us into the Spirit Ascension Platform inside the Spirit Pagoda to test things out this afternoon."

"Brother is already a one-ring Spirit Master, and so am I. We can already conduct actual combat training inside the Spirit Ascension Platform."

Na'er said this while munching away on a milk candy.

Hearing Na'er's words, Chen Zhou was stunned for a moment, remembering that Su Xin had indeed mentioned it to him.

This was actually Chen Mo's idea, primarily to let them get a head start.

The Spirit Ascension Platform was not something just anyone could enter.

To enter once required 500,000 Federal Credits, and often, one even needed the resources and the opportunity to gain access.

If they could enter early, they would indeed be winning at the starting line, and getting more exposure to these things than others was certainly a good thing.

Therefore, Chen Zhou simply gave a soft "oh" and immediately took Na'er's hand to walk outside, but just as they reached the doorway, there was a commotion all around.

Quite a few parents were gathered there, accompanied by their young children.

Chen Zhou was naturally a curious person, so he went straight over to take a look.

To his surprise, however, the ones surrounded in the center were none other than that blond little boy and the woman with the gentle and quiet appearance.

At this moment, the woman had collapsed to the ground. There were no visible injuries on her body, but blood was trickling from the corner of her mouth; it was clear she was suffering from a serious illness.

Watching his mother collapse to the ground, looking so frail, tears welled up in the corners of the little boy's eyes.

He wanted to hold back his tears, but how could a six-year-old child endure such pain?

Looking at the sobbing little boy, Chen Zhou fell silent for a moment before finally stepping forward with hesitation.

"Can you let me take a look? My spirit skill has a healing effect; perhaps I can help your mother."
