In truth, Su Xin was somewhat bewildered by this little snake.

She did not understand why such a small snake possessed such high intelligence, nor did she realize that this seemingly ordinary creature was the legendary Unyielding Soul Spirit.

This type of spirit possessed its own independent consciousness and terrifying combat prowess.

Now, combined with Chen Zhou and the destructive power of the Primordial Sea he commanded, the two of them combined made Chen Zhou's strength formidable.

The two of them killed enemies at a rapid pace, and they had encountered several groups of soul beasts along the way.

Just then, a two-headed rhinoceros with massive horns charged directly toward Chen Zhou.

The rhinoceros came with great determination; Su Xin's brows furrowed slightly, as she did not believe Chen Zhou could dodge it.

Yet, to Su Xin's disbelief, the rhinoceros charged straight through Chen Zhou's body.

Chen Zhou's entire form stood there silently, as if he were made of water.

As the rhinoceros passed through him, in the next second, the Sword of Destruction in his hand pierced the beast's body, slaying the century-old soul beast.

Watching this scene, Su Xin was stunned, but as the battle continued, although Chen Zhou dodged occasionally, he mostly allowed the attacks to land on him.

Countless attacks struck his body as if hitting a flowing stream, unable to cause any impact on him.

Even when some soul beasts as massive as the rhinoceros managed to scatter Chen Zhou's form, he would recover as if nothing had happened the very next instant.

Furthermore, as his body was repeatedly attacked, a phantom stream of water seemed to appear in the sky.

These currents slowly flowed into Chen Zhou's body, beginning to restore his strength.

This sight left Su Xin dumbfounded; in the time she had been watching, Chen Zhou had slain no fewer than 50 ten-year soul beasts and over 20 century-old soul beasts.

If one included those killed by the little snake, the number of soul beasts Chen Zhou had dispatched was even higher.

Under Su Xin's increasingly solemn gaze, the century-old soul ring on Chen Zhou began to gradually turn pale purple, until it became completely purple.

Feeling his first soul ring elevate to purple and hearing the call from the little snake before him, Chen Zhou paused his steps.

After retrieving the little snake into his hand, he pressed the teleportation button to exit the Spirit Ascension Platform.

As Chen Zhou sat up, his eyes closed slightly, and a yellow soul ring appeared around his body, gradually transforming into purple.

Looking at this purple soul ring, Su Xin was astonished, though she remained silent.

It was not until Chen Zhou opened his eyes that Su Xin smiled and offered her congratulations.

"Congratulations, Young Tower Master. To have your first soul ring reach the thousand-year level—at this age, you are the first genius I have ever seen!"

Su Xin's tone carried a rare hint of flattery, yet it was the honest truth; she truly had never seen a genius like Chen Zhou.

To withstand a thousand-year soul ring, one needed not only sufficient physical strength but, more importantly, immense mental power.

However, neither Su Xin nor the others knew the extent of this Young Tower Master's mental power.

Normally, the Qiangu Clan would check mental power, conducting a test immediately after the martial soul awakening.

But because Chen Zhou was the last to complete his awakening and the process took too long, his mental power had never been tested.

After arriving here, Chen Zhou never brought it up, so Su Xin had not conducted the test either.

Of course, Su Xin had mentioned it later, but Chen Zhou had brushed it off every time.

In reality, Chen Zhou had realized his mental power was somewhat absurd; for a six-year-old child to have over 1,000 points of mental power would strike anyone as suspicious.

Thus, he naturally would not easily expose the strength of his mental power.

Now, as his eyes opened, he could feel that besides his own changes, the little snake had also undergone a significant transformation.

The scales on the little snake were noticeably thicker, and its body length had reached nearly a meter.

"As expected of an Unyielding Soul Spirit. If it were an ordinary soul spirit, even if it could participate in battle, the boost to me would be limited."

"It seems that if I look for soul spirits in the future, I should seek out Unyielding Soul Spirits, preferably those resembling snakes or dragons; the growth from such spirits should be substantial."

Chen Zhou muttered to himself, though he was not speaking for his own ears, but for Neuvillette.

Neuvillette had not spoken since yesterday, clearly occupied with the affairs of Fontaine.

However, Neuvillette seemed to have some free time now.

Hearing Chen Zhou intentionally speaking to him, Neuvillette added in a deep voice:

[That is indeed true, but your practical combat skills still require training.]

[An immortal body is powerful, but if you encounter potent fire-based abilities or various light-based consumption effects, you could still be worn down to death.]

"Could he exhaust the entire Primordial Sea?"

[Er... no, but you must still remain vigilant. Who knows if the powerhouses of this world might find a way to sever your connection to the Primordial Sea.]

Neuvillette paused, falling silent for a moment after saying this.

Although he had not met the top-tier powerhouses here, he did not believe these people could truly sever Chen Zhou's connection to the Primordial Sea.

Especially as Chen Zhou's strength continued to grow and he mastered more of his inherent authority, Chen Zhou would eventually become the master of the Primordial Sea himself.

In such a scenario, attempting to isolate Chen Zhou would be nearly impossible.

Chen Zhou actually wanted to retort, but considering that Neuvillette was, for better or worse, his makeshift master now, he held his tongue and merely rolled his eyes.

Su Xin, standing to the side, watched Chen Zhou sitting there muttering to himself; she had noticed before that their young Tower Master had a penchant for talking to himself.

However, she didn't say anything, simply standing quietly by his side.

"Sister Su Xin, my mental energy is drained, so I'm going back to rest. Add a dish of braised dragon meat tonight; I'm craving that!"

As Chen Zhou spoke, he stood up and ran out with heavy, thumping footsteps, leaving Su Xin standing there, bewildered.

She had no idea what "braised dragon meat" was. Could it be the meat of a dragon-type soul beast? But they didn't eat such things.

Meanwhile, out in the hallway, Neuvillette was clearly incensed:

"First of all, I am human. Although I am an Ancient Dragon, I have no kinship with those kinds of dragons."

"Oh."

"Secondly, continuing your training is for your own good. Even though I killed you over twenty times, it helped you improve significantly."

"Oh."

Neuvillette spoke with complete sincerity, yet Chen Zhou still replied with nothing but an "oh."

"You child! Without experiencing hardship, how can you grow stronger quickly and possess greater power?"

"I don't care. I'd rather have a good sleep than be killed by you dozens of times in dream training. Anyway, I'm not fighting you unless you suppress your strength to the absolute minimum."

As he spoke, Chen Zhou opened the door and threw himself directly onto the soft bed.

Watching Chen Zhou's shameless display, Neuvillette felt truly helpless.

In Fontaine, he was the Chief Justice, holding the power of judgment over the entire nation, known for being stern and rigid.

Yet, when it came to this new disciple of his, who hailed from a different world, he was truly at a loss.
