Watching this scene, Su Xin's eyes narrowed sharply.
The defense level here was certainly not high, but it should have been impossible for any attack below the third ring to break through it.
Yet, seeing Chen Zhou shatter the defenses so easily, Su Xin's first reaction wasn't how strong Chen Zhou was, but whether this was some kind of shoddy construction project.
However, once she recalled that this training room had been in use for several years, her brows furrowed deeply.
Chen Zhou himself was also a bit dazed at this moment, because what he had just used wasn't normal water, but Primordial Water.
He had easily drawn the currents from the Primordial Sea; such water not only possessed extreme corrosiveness but was a terrifying force capable of dissolving flesh directly.
Of course, if one were to describe this power using the concepts of the Douluo Continent, it was the coexistence of life and destruction.
In Teyvat, it represented the emergence and end of life, but once brought here, it directly contained the power of both destruction and life.
This power was terrifying, to the point that even Chen Zhou hadn't reacted in time.
After releasing his breath, he could clearly feel that he seemed capable of mobilizing even greater power from the Primordial Sea.
He could directly summon the Water of Life, which possessed healing and life-giving properties, and the Water of Destruction, which held terrifying destructive capabilities and annihilation effects.
Feeling the extra power within his body, Chen Zhou's expression grew increasingly strange; he had only summoned the most basic Primordial Sea just now.
But if he had used the Water of Destruction, the level of devastation would have undoubtedly increased further.
And most importantly, the lethality that ordinary water could form was naturally vastly different from what the Water of Destruction could achieve.
He hadn't originally cared much about manipulating water elements, because manipulating the water elements of the Douluo world was of little use.
After all, the level of water elements in the Douluo world was just like that.
But if he were to manipulate the water elements originating from Teyvat's Primordial Sea.
Using super water elements that possessed the dual attributes of life and destruction, the effect would be completely different.
Thinking about how his water elements would carry those terrifying effects of destruction and healing, Chen Zhou couldn't help but want to laugh.
However, Su Xin was stunned at this moment.
Looking at the destroyed defenses, Su Xin's gaze first swept over Chen Zhou with a hint of complexity.
Immediately, she hurriedly took out her phone and began notifying people to come and make repairs.
"Young Master Chen Zhou, please come with me; I will take you back to your room." Su Xin said, a trace of apology on her face.
With this kind of lethality and destructive power, she certainly had to report it to the Pagoda Master, Chen Mo, so she naturally needed to get Chen Zhou settled back first.
Seeing the apology on Su Xin's face, Chen Zhou didn't mind; he nodded casually and followed her back to his room.
Watching Su Xin close the door, Chen Zhou sat down casually. As he raised his palm, a small, deep-blue snake slowly emerged before him.
This little snake was only about the size of a palm, a hint of grievance on its face as it slightly turned its head away.
Seeing the little snake's aggrieved appearance, Chen Zhou yawned and lay down on the bed, rolling around.
"The quality of this bed is really good. The beds in this Spirit Pagoda are just better than the wooden planks I had in the Qiangu Clan."
"Hahaha, just thinking about being able to sleep in a bed like this every day makes me feel so good."
"When my strength gets stronger and stronger, I'll definitely be able to get a wife, maybe even find a great beauty to be my wife."
Chen Zhou muttered to himself, a sense of contentment on his face.
The deep-blue little snake beside him glanced at him, fell silent for a moment, and then crawled onto the bed.
Seeing the stubbornness and grievance in the little snake's eyes, Chen Zhou finally yawned helplessly.
He didn't comfort it, because as his soul spirit, it needed to learn submission; so, he raised his hand and flicked the little snake directly on the head.
Feeling the pain on its head, the little snake glared at Chen Zhou, but ultimately didn't say anything, simply coiling up quietly to the side.
Watching the little snake settle down, Chen Zhou yawned with drowsiness, and he lay on the soft bed, drifting off into dreamland.
Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Spirit Pagoda, Chen Mo sat in his spacious office with Su Xin standing beside him.
There was a hint of unease on Su Xin's face; she had already described the situation clearly to Chen Mo.
Hearing Su Xin's account, Chen Mo didn't speak, simply sitting there quietly tapping the table.
As a high-ranking official and the controller of the East Sea City Spirit Pagoda, he wouldn't let others easily discern his emotions.
But at this moment, one could see the confusion and struggle in his heart just from his movements.
"His first soul skill should be a soul skill similar to a dragon's breath ability, but I didn't expect it to have such strong destructive power."
"In a few days, we can let him try the Spirit Ascension Platform, but there's no rush for that; let's arrange for him to go to school first."
Chen Mo's tone carried a hint of helplessness.
Hearing his words, Su Xin nodded without hesitation.
"Pagoda Master, this matter has already been arranged; the Young Pagoda Master can go to school tomorrow."
Su Xin spoke very respectfully, but did not mention the specific details.
One had to know that in previous years, only one or two geniuses with innate full soul power appeared in the collateral branches of the Qiangu Clan who could come to these 18 core branches.
Yet, due to the remoteness of their location, it had been nearly a dozen years since their East Sea City branch had seen a genius from the Qiangu Clan's collateral branches.
For them, this was both a blessing and a curse.
It was a blessing because, under these circumstances, no one from the Qiangu Clan would be watching them, making life much easier.
However, the downside was that without clan descendants nearby, the resources they usually brought along would not be pouring in.
With the Qiangu Clan's gaze no longer fixed upon them, there would be a significant reduction in resource supplies.
The considerations involved were complex, and even Chen Mo felt a sense of stillness. He had already sent a telegram to Leng Yaozhu and was waiting to see what his superior thought.
"Then go and look after him. Give him 10,000 Alliance Credits a month for his living expenses, and if he needs any additional resources, you may report it to me."
"Your goal is to take good care of him. If he does anything unreasonable, you can come and tell me."
Chen Mo paused there. Su Xin reacted for only a brief moment before nodding respectfully, then slowly walked out of the room and closed the door.
Watching Su Xin's departing figure, Chen Mo let out a long sigh. At his age, reaching this position was already his limit.
If he wanted to be promoted further, besides improving his strength, the more important step was to head to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.
That would be beneficial for him, but for Leng Yaozhu's faction, it offered no advantages at all.
It meant that the ownership of this Spirit Pagoda branch would also become problematic.
Even if he could make it to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, his status and standing would drop significantly, which was the very reason he had stayed here all along.
Yet now, with the arrival of this young man, this situation was very likely to undergo a major change.
