'Own Son'

"Hahahahahahahaha~"

After clearly seeing the various items for sale in the System Shop, Ye Chen immediately threw back his little head and burst into loud laughter.

He could not help being happy. Ye Chen had originally thought that with his Innate Soul Power of only level 3, he could only become a background extra in the future or cling to someone powerful.

But with the Tycoon System, things were different.

So what if his Innate Soul Power was low? One immortal herb, and his cultivation efficiency would absolutely rival Innate Full Soul Power. With the medicinal power of an immortal herb, it might even surpass Innate Full Soul Power.

So what if his martial soul quality was poor? With Martial Soul God-level Cards, it would transform into a god-level martial soul sooner or later.

So what if he had no divine inheritance? The System Shop sold divine positions too. Even if he failed to obtain a Deity's inheritance, he could still become a god in the future.

And with Soul Ring and Soul Bone Upgrade Cards, it did not matter if he lacked Twin Martial Souls. As long as he added points to his soul rings and soul bones, rapidly raising his soul power level would no longer be a dream!

At that moment, Ye Chen was already imagining his future: a god-level martial soul, a nine-red Soul Ring Configuration, a complete set of 100,000 Year Soul Bones, and ultimately becoming a supreme Deity.

No, no, no. One hundred thousand years is still too low. It has to be a nine-gold Soul Ring Configuration and a complete set of Million Year Soul Bones!

Ye Chen felt that since he had a cheat-like son, he could not possibly be outdone by Tang San.

And if he possessed a nine-gold Soul Ring Configuration and a full set of Million Year Soul Bones, would his divine position not surpass even that of a God King?

After all, the divine positions priced at as much as ten billion Gold Soul Coins came with a note: before refining a divine position, the stronger one's own strength and foundation, the higher the level of the divine position would be.

Surely not even a God King could possess such an incredible foundation, right?

Even Tang San, known as the "King of Cheats," only had one Million Year Soul Ring and one Million Year Soul Bone.

In addition, Ye Chen discovered that the System Shop also sold quite a few miscellaneous items, such as Storage Soul Tools, certain individual hot weapons from his previous life, and all kinds of industrial technology products.

The prices of such items were not expensive, though. To a future tycoon like him, they were practically pocket change.

"Unfortunately, these hot weapons are all too low-grade, and there aren't even any mushroom bombs."

Ye Chen inwardly found it regrettable. Otherwise, if he set off a big firecracker in Spirit City, Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong would probably be sent straight to heaven.

But when he thought of the exorbitant prices of all the good things in the System Shop, Ye Chen felt that although he would be a tycoon in the future, he could not change the fact that he was currently broke in the short term.

Looking at the 10% off card in the System Shop, which could be claimed for free as a newcomer benefit, Ye Chen began to ponder.

After thinking it over, Ye Chen decided not to use it yet. After all, if he wanted to maximize its value, he would definitely need to use it to buy something expensive, such as a divine position costing ten billion Gold Soul Coins.

At present, the things most useful to Ye Chen were nothing more than cultivation techniques and immortal herbs.

However, the immortal herbs came with a clear note: their medicinal power was immense, and Soul Scholars could not consume them. Ye Chen could only list immortal herbs as a necessity after advancing to a One Ring Soul Master.

Therefore, what he needed most urgently right now was that cultivation technique gift pack worth ten million Gold Soul Coins.

But ten million Gold Soul Coins was no small amount. It would take nearly four months of filial support from his "cheat-like own son."

That was right. Since he was proving so useful, his former cheat-like son had now been upgraded to an own son.

"Ah~, looks like I still can't change things in the short term!"

With a deep sigh, Ye Chen looked at the nearly one thousand Gold Soul Coins that had accumulated in the shop balance. He immediately withdrew one coin and examined it in his hand.

"Mm, it's exactly the same as the Gold Soul Coins used throughout the continent."

After carefully inspecting it, Ye Chen found that aside from being brand-new, the Gold Soul Coin provided by his own son was no different from an ordinary Gold Soul Coin.

Furthermore, Ye Chen's tests showed that Gold Soul Coins from the outside world could also be deposited into the shop balance. Clearly, the two were interchangeable.

Now that he had a cheat-like own son, Ye Chen's rough plans for the future needed to change.

The first thing that came to mind was going to Notting Academy and luring that adorably dumb little rabbit, Xiao Wu, into his own bowl.

Don't misunderstand. It was not because Ye Chen had set his sights on Xiao Wu's soul ring and soul bone. He was not interested in those—he was interested in Xiao Wu herself.

But there was one prerequisite: Tang Da Chui had to be driven away.

With Tang Da Chui's strength as a Titled Douluo, he would absolutely discover Xiao Wu's identity as a transformed 100,000-year soul beast the moment he saw her.

As for why he did not say anything, Ye Chen guessed that Tang Da Chui was most likely planning for his son Tang San to follow the same path as himself: "Sacrifice the wife to heaven, and soul power becomes boundless."

Driving Tang Da Chui out of Notting City's territory would not be difficult.

All he had to do was write him a letter telling him that Spirit Hall already knew he was blacksmithing in Holy Soul Village and that Qian Daoliu was on the way. Tang Da Chui would definitely flee immediately with his son.

Or he could simply report to Spirit Hall that Tang Da Chui was in Holy Soul Village.

Of course, Ye Chen had to remain anonymous when doing this. He could not deliver the message himself, or he would have no way to explain it. And if Tang Da Chui came looking for revenge, Ye Chen would not be able to stop him.

Forget Tang Da Chui—even Tang San could instantly kill Ye Chen if Ye Chen did not rely on external items.

Clearly, if Ye Chen really did this, then in Tang San's eyes, it would be a textbook case of "courting death."

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Over the past three days, Ye Chen had gone out and learned that Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy's annual enrollment would begin four months later.

In other words, Tang San had not yet awakened his martial soul. If Ye Chen wanted to drive Tang Da Chui away, he had to do it within those four months.

If he waited until Tang Da Chui discovered Xiao Wu's identity as a transformed 100,000-year soul beast, he would definitely take that adorably dumb little rabbit away as well.

As for how to anonymously deliver the news to Tang Da Chui and Spirit Hall, Ye Chen had already formed an idea. The plan could be carried out soon.

However, when it came to cultivation, he truly lived up to his innate Level 3 Soul Power—his efficiency was abysmal. After three days of cultivation, he felt practically no change.

Ye Chen estimated that, barring any surprises, being able to raise his Soul Power by one level in a year would already be heaven's blessing. Compared to other geniuses, there was simply no comparison.

And that was only if Ye Chen cultivated diligently. If he slacked off every other day, it would definitely be even slower.

When a Spirit Master's Soul Power level was still low and their Spiritual Power insufficiently strong, they could not remain in a cultivation state all day.

Meditative cultivation also consumed Spiritual Power. If one overdid it, it was entirely possible to suffer lasting Spiritual Power damage.

Therefore, Ye Chen cultivated only in the mornings and evenings each day, allowing his depleted Spiritual Power to recover.
