Evil Eye Gaze, Ultimate Control

Master Shi was deeply puzzled and asked timidly, "I wonder why Chief Meng has come in person?" He knew he wasn't important enough to warrant a personal visit from the Chief.

Meng Shenji replied, "My student recommended a promising talent, so I wanted to come and see for myself. I wonder, which one is student Luo Chen?"

Hearing his name, Luo Chen stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Chief Meng Shenji. I am Luo Chen."

Meng Shenji looked Luo Chen over. Although his clothes were simple, they were neat and tidy, and his temperament was extraordinary, not at all like that of a six or seven-year-old child.

"I heard you are a spirit-type spirit master? And one of the summoning variety?" Meng Shenji inquired.

"Yes, my martial soul is called the Gulu Ball. It can form contracts with spirit beasts, and after obtaining a spirit ring, I can also use that spirit beast's spirit skills."

Meng Shenji was stunned. Fule's letter only mentioned that the child could contract spirit beasts; it said nothing about him being able to use their spirit skills.

"Child, you have already obtained your first spirit ring by some twist of fate, haven't you? I wonder, what is your first spirit skill..."

Before Meng Shenji could finish, Luo Chen spread his right hand, a golden King Ball appeared in his palm, and he tossed it forward.

"Come out, Xiao Xiezi."

With a flash of purple light, a miniature Evil Emperor appeared. However, it was not the original body, so it appeared somewhat stiff.

"What... is this?" The others had never seen such a spirit beast—a giant eye.

Meng Shenji pondered for a moment: "The legendary Evil Eye clan, a spirit-type spirit beast! They are extremely rare! You are truly lucky to have encountered a severely wounded Evil Eye!"

At that time, most of the Evil Eye clan were gathered in the Evil Demon Forest of the Sun Moon Continent. The few that existed in the Star Dou Great Forest were often besieged by other spirit beasts, simply because the race was considered malevolent and unwelcome in the spirit beast world.

"I wonder, what is your first spirit skill?" Meng Shenji asked.

"My first spirit skill is called Evil Eye Gaze. It is an innate skill of the Evil Eye clan. It can unleash a mental shock that forces the opponent into a state of paralysis."

Meng Shenji said, "Try using your first spirit skill to attack me with all your might."

Luo Chen didn't waste words. He knew that Meng Shenji was someone who cherished talent and certainly had high standards, so this was his chance to shine!

"Alright!" Luo Chen said, and immediately, a bright yellow spirit ring rose from beneath his feet. "First spirit skill! Evil Eye Gaze!"

Luo Chen's eyes turned purple, and the little Evil Eye's eye simultaneously emitted a purple glow. Three beams of purple light shot out, heading straight for the center of Meng Shenji's brow!

Meng Shenji did not use his spirit power to resist; he didn't believe a one-ring spirit master could cause him any harm. But the moment the beams of the Evil Eye Gaze touched him, he felt a momentary trance!

It was only 0.1 seconds, but it made Meng Shenji exclaim that he had found a treasure! One had to realize that for a one-ring spirit master to paralyze an eight-ring Spirit Douluo for 0.1 seconds was nothing short of a divine skill!

If they were at the same level, this skill would be equivalent to absolute control—a natural-born talent for the control system!

"Young friend Luo Chen! Do you have a master? If not, would I have the honor of taking you as my disciple?"

Luo Dashan was completely bewildered; was his son really this outstanding?

Luo Chen was quite surprised by this request. He thought it over for a moment; there was no harm in taking Meng Shenji as his master. He felt that Meng Shenji possessed genuine knowledge and skill. Compared to that fellow Yu Xiaogang who only knew how to talk on paper, this Spirit Douluo with both learning and strength was worthy of being called a good teacher.

"Luo Chen greets his teacher." Luo Chen bowed slightly. Meng Shenji was overjoyed at these words.

"Good child, come, let's go handle the enrollment procedures. I will take you to your living quarters shortly."

Luo Chen looked at Luo Dashan and said, "Teacher, please allow me to say goodbye to my father first."

Meng Shenji replied, "That is only right. Later, I will send someone to escort your father home safely!" He could tell at a glance that Luo Dashan was an ordinary person, so he would send someone to protect him on his way home and, incidentally, investigate the true situation of the Luo family to see if his new disciple needed any help.

Father and son stood facing each other. Luo Dashan patted Luo Chen's head: "Xiao Chen, since you have taken this senior as your master, you must study hard and treat your teacher as you would a father."

"I know, Dad. I will write to you and Mom often."

After the father and son parted, Meng Shenji led Luo Chen and the Shi brothers into the academy.

The Heaven Dou Royal Academy had an advanced division and a primary division. The three of them were to enter the primary division. The Shi brothers were considered specially recruited talents, though they wouldn't normally be led by the Chief himself; they were benefiting from Luo Chen's presence.

By now, Shi Mo had been completely won over by Luo Chen and kept following by his side.

"Brother Luo Chen, that spirit beast of yours is so cool! How did you manage to contract it?"

"Brother Luo Chen, will you contract other spirit beasts in the future?"

In comparison, Shi Mo was a bit more composed, though he also seemed full of curiosity about Luo Chen.

Under Meng Shenji's guidance, the three arrived at the door of a dormitory. Meng Shenji said, "Xiao Chen, you and the Shi brothers will stay here. Once you've finished settling in, come find me at the restaurant in front. I'll be waiting for you on the second floor."

"Understood, Teacher."

The three entered the dormitory one after another and immediately saw a youth dressed in simple clothing tidying up his luggage.

Seeing the three of them, he took the initiative to greet them: "Hello! You must be my new roommates, right? My name is Su Heng."

"Hello, I am Luo Chen."

"I am Shi Mo, and he is Shi Mo. We are twin brothers."

Su Heng looked at the two of them curiously and suddenly laughed: "You two look exactly the same!"

Shi Mo felt that this kid was a bit too familiar and said, "You're talking about us? Why is your hair purple?"

Su Heng was slightly taken aback, then laughed: "Hehe, I'm not much, but my martial soul is lightning-attributed! That's why my hair is a bit purple. Oh, let me introduce myself properly: Su Heng, martial soul Thunder Roc, level 11 agility-attack system battle spirit master. Please take care of me."

Shi Mo exclaimed, "What! You're a spirit master too! How did we run into two monsters in a single day!"

The Shi brothers had innate spirit power of level 8, so they were currently at level 9. The older brother, Shi Mo, was slightly higher and almost at level 10, while the younger brother had just reached level 9. Yet, they had encountered two one-ring spirit masters in one day.

"What do you mean 'also'? Could it be?" Su Heng followed the gazes of the Shi Brothers toward Luo Chen.

Luo Chen was speechless, but still said, "Luo Chen, level 15 Control-type Tool Spirit Master, Martial Spirit: Gulu Ball!"

Su Heng didn't care what this Gulu Ball Martial Spirit was, instead exclaiming, "Level fifteen! How old are you?"

"Six and a half."

"You broke through to level fifteen in less than a year! What was your innate soul power? Don't tell me it was full soul power!" Su Heng felt utterly devastated.
