Watching this scene, Su Xin's eyes suddenly narrowed.
The defensive level here really wasn't high, but normally, attacks below the three-ring level shouldn't have been able to break through it.
But seeing Chen Zhou break through the defense so easily, Su Xin's first thought wasn't how strong Chen Zhou was. Instead, she wondered if this place had been shoddily built.
Then she remembered that this training room had already been in use for several years, and her brows furrowed deeply.
Chen Zhou was also a little dazed. What he had just used wasn't ordinary water, but Primordial Water.
He had easily drawn over water from the Primordial Sea. This water was not only extremely corrosive, but also possessed the terrifying power to dissolve flesh outright.
Of course, if one were to describe this power in terms of the Douluo Continent, it was the coexistence of life and destruction.
In Teyvat, it represented the emergence and end of life. But here, it directly contained the powers of destruction and life.
This power was terrifying—even Chen Zhou hadn't seen it coming.
After releasing his breath attack, he could clearly feel that he seemed able to draw on even greater power from the Primordial Sea.
He could directly draw on Water of Life, which had healing abilities and the power of life, as well as Water of Destruction, which possessed terrifying destructive power and the ability to annihilate.
Feeling the power that had appeared within him, Chen Zhou's expression grew increasingly strange. He had only summoned the most basic Primordial Sea just now.
But if he had used Water of Destruction, the damage would have been even greater.
And more importantly, the damage ordinary water could inflict was naturally worlds apart from the damage Water of Destruction could cause.
He hadn't cared much about manipulating water elements before, because manipulating the water elements of the Douluo World wasn't very useful.
After all, the water elements in the Douluo World were only so powerful.
But what if he manipulated water elements from Teyvat's Primordial Sea?
If he used supercharged water elements with the dual attributes of life and destruction, the results would be completely different.
Thinking of how his water elements would carry that terrifying destructive and healing power, Chen Zhou could barely suppress a laugh.
However, Su Xin was utterly stunned.
Looking at the destroyed defenses, Su Xin first glanced at Chen Zhou with a complicated expression.
Then she hurriedly took out her phone and began notifying people to come repair it.
"Young Tower Master Chen Zhou, please come with me. I'll take you back to your room," Su Xin said, a trace of apology on her face.
With destructive power like this, she would definitely have to report it to Chen Mo, the Tower Master. So for now, she needed to get Chen Zhou settled back in his room.
Seeing the apology on Su Xin's face, Chen Zhou didn't mind. He nodded casually, then followed her back to his room.
After Su Xin closed the door, Chen Zhou sat down casually. As he raised his hand, a small, deep-blue snake slowly appeared in front of him.
The little snake was only about the size of his palm. It looked aggrieved, then turned its head slightly away.
Seeing the little snake's aggrieved look, Chen Zhou yawned and flopped onto the bed, rolling back and forth.
"This bed is really good. The beds in the Spirit Pagoda are so much better than the wooden plank bed I had in the Qiangu Clan."
"Hahaha, just thinking that I'll get to sleep in a bed like this every day makes me feel great."
"When I get stronger, I'm sure I'll be able to get myself a wife. Maybe I'll even find a beautiful woman to marry."
Chen Zhou muttered to himself, looking utterly content.
The little deep-blue snake beside him glanced at him, fell silent for a moment, then climbed onto the bed.
Seeing the stubborn, aggrieved look in the little snake's eyes, Chen Zhou finally let out a helpless yawn.
He didn't comfort it. As his Soul Spirit, it needed to learn to submit, so he raised his hand and flicked the little snake right on the head.
Feeling the pain on its head, the little snake glared at Chen Zhou. But in the end, it didn't say anything, simply coiling quietly off to one side.
Watching the little snake settle down, Chen Zhou yawned sleepily. He lay down on the soft bed and drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Spirit Pagoda, Chen Mo sat in his spacious office, with Su Xin standing beside him.
A trace of unease showed on Su Xin's face. She had already explained the situation to Chen Mo in detail.
After hearing her account, Chen Mo said nothing. He simply sat there, tapping his fingers on the desk.
As a senior official and the head of the Spirit Pagoda in Eastsea City, he wouldn't let others easily read his emotions.
But his movements alone revealed the confusion and struggle within him.
"His first Soul Skill should be something like a dragon's breath attack. I just didn't expect it to have such destructive power."
"We can let him try the Spirit Ascension Platform in a few days, but there's no rush. Arrange for him to go to school first."
A trace of helplessness colored Chen Mo's voice.
Hearing him, Su Xin nodded without hesitation.
"Tower Master, everything has been arranged. The Young Tower Master can go to school tomorrow."
Su Xin spoke respectfully, but didn't specify any details.
In past years, only one or two Innate Full Soul Power geniuses from the Qiangu Clan's collateral branches would emerge, and they could come to one of these eighteen core branches.
But because of their remote location, the Eastsea City branch hadn't received a genius from the Qiangu Clan's collateral branches in more than a decade.
For them, this was both a good thing and a bad thing.
It was good because without people from the Qiangu Clan watching over them, life was much easier.
But it was bad because without clan members around, the resources they brought with them wouldn't flow their way.
The Qiangu Clan wouldn't pay them any attention, so they would receive far fewer resources.
The situation was complicated. Even Chen Mo felt weighed down by it. He had already sent a telegram to Leng Yaozhu and was waiting to see what his superior thought.
"Then look after him. Give him ten thousand Alliance Coins a month for living expenses. If he needs any additional resources, you can come to me."
"Your job is to take good care of him. If he does anything unreasonable, come tell me."
Chen Mo paused there. Su Xin needed only a moment to understand before respectfully nodding. Then she walked out and closed the door behind her.
Watching Su Xin leave, Chen Mo let out a quiet sigh. At his age, reaching this position was already the limit.
If he wanted to rise further, he would need not only to improve his strength, but, more importantly, to go to the Spirit Pagoda's main tower.
That would benefit him, but it wouldn't benefit Leng Yaozhu's faction at all.
It meant that the ownership of this Spirit Pagoda branch would also become an issue.
And even if he managed to reach the Spirit Pagoda's main tower, his status would fall considerably. That was why he had stayed here all along.
But now, with this young man's arrival, the situation could very well change drastically.
