Wonder: Splitting Gold Coin!

After leaving Spirit Hall, Lin Qingchen kept his feet moving and quickly returned to Nuoding Academy.

But he was in no hurry to return to Dorm Seven. Instead, he found a secluded corner of the academy and took out the Gold Soul Coin that had become a Wonder Seed.

"I didn't expect a Gold Soul Coin could transform into a Wonder Seed too. How strange."

Looking at the Gold Soul Coin, Lin Qingchen immediately chose to infuse it with the Power of Fortune.

A golden light flashed, and the Gold Soul Coin in his hand grew warm. By the time the light faded, the coin lying in his hand had taken on a different appearance.

Lin Qingchen looked at the description of this new Wonder.

[Splitting Gold Coin] (white Wonder)

Effects: (1) The number of Gold Soul Coins in your possession increases by 10% each day, up to a maximum increase of 10,000; (2) Can store Gold Soul Coins, with no upper limit.

It was a Wonder that could rapidly increase his wealth.

As the saying went, money wasn't everything, but without it, nothing was possible.

Lin Qingchen was delighted. With this Wonder, he would basically never have to worry about money again.

It was just a pity that the Wonder had a limit: it could only give him 10,000 Gold Soul Coins at most each day.

But on second thought, it was only a white Wonder. If it had no upper limit, it would be far too terrifying.

Even though he only had one Gold Soul Coin now, after a hundred days, that single coin would turn into more than ten thousand. And after a year, the number would reach 1.283 quadrillion. What a terrifying number!

Even with just ten thousand Gold Soul Coins a day, though, he would have more than enough to use.

In high spirits, Lin Qingchen flicked the Splitting Gold Coin, then put it away.

It was worth mentioning that, as far as the Splitting Gold Coin was concerned, the Gold Soul Coin that had been transformed into the Wonder Seed apparently hadn't been counted as consumed, but had been included in the total instead.

Lin Qingchen checked. He now had one and a half Gold Soul Coins on him, and he had tossed them all in. Now he only had to wait a few dozen days before he could live without worrying about money.

He made his way back to Dorm Seven. Unexpectedly, Tang San wasn't there, and there was no telling where he had gone.

As for the others, they were probably still in class.

Lin Qingchen thought no more about it. He washed up briefly, then lay down on his bed and fell into a deep sleep.

It couldn't be helped. Although he had closed his eyes for a few short naps in the Soul Hunting Forest, there was no way he could have slept well. After the past few days, he was already dead tired. If fusing with the Soul Ring hadn't made him considerably more alert, he would have slept like the dead in the carriage on the way back.

And once he fell asleep, he slept for a full day.

When the others from Dorm Seven returned and saw Lin Qingchen sleeping soundly, they immediately fell silent and began speaking carefully, let alone making a loud racket.

Even Xiao Wu, who had never feared heaven or earth, kept her mouth shut and walked on tiptoe, terrified that if she woke Lin Qingchen, he would take his waking temper out on her.

She still remembered the "Supreme Nine Consecutive Throws" from the start of the school year.

Meanwhile, although Tang San was no longer short of money, he still went to work at the smithy.

To him, it wasn't merely a job to earn money. More importantly, it let him practice his forging skills, and he could also make some Hidden Weapons for himself while he was at it.

It even saved him the trouble of looking for materials himself.

Because of his breakthrough, he even felt refreshed as he forged this time, and his forging efficiency improved considerably.

But though he had enjoyed himself pounding iron, he suffered on the way back. He hadn't rested well to begin with, and this time he had hammered away for hours with adrenaline surging through him. When he returned to Dorm Seven, he collapsed onto his bed and fell asleep without even washing up.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Wu suddenly woke from her sound sleep.

She glanced at her hand and immediately smiled.

"I broke through? Yes! Then I'll find a place to condense my Soul Ring."

Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly sniffed.

"Ew, what's that smell? Why does it stink so much?"

She looked around and discovered that the smell was coming from Tang San beside her. She immediately pinched her nose and gave him a push.

"Hey, Little San, why do you stink so much? You're stinking Sister Xiao Wu to death! Get up and wash!"

But even after she pushed him several times, Tang San still slept like a dead pig and didn't stir at all.

"Aaah, stinky Little San, you're driving me mad!"

Xiao Wu scratched at her hair in frustration.

In the past, she would have forcibly booted Tang San awake, but now, the thought of Lin Qingchen still sleeping kept her from doing it. She was afraid of waking him.

Besides, she wanted to go condense her Soul Ring.

"Ugh, you're driving Sister Xiao Wu mad! Just wait until you wake up. You'll see how I deal with you!"

Xiao Wu gave Tang San one last push, then slipped out of bed and vanished from Dorm Seven like a ghost.

But out of her sight, a tall figure in a black robe stepped out of the shadows.

"Damn it, how dare you show such disdain for my son? You already have a way to die!"

Tang Hao glanced coldly in the direction Xiao Wu had gone. "If it weren't for your good relationship with Little San, I would have captured you long ago. But if she could fall for Little San, that might not be bad either..."

Tang Hao thought it over, then followed her in secret.

Little San won't be in any danger here anyway. I'd better keep an eye on this little rabbit, so nothing unexpected happens.

Under cover of night, Xiao Wu arrived at an extremely secluded spot in Nuoding City. She sat cross-legged on the ground and began drawing on her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast origin to condense a Soul Ring for herself.

Tang Hao hid off to one side, silently watching her.

"Wuaaah! That felt good..."

In the morning, sunlight streamed into Dorm Seven. Lin Qingchen slowly opened his eyes, sat up, and stretched.

Now that his physical constitution had grown stronger, he recovered his stamina much faster too. This sleep had actually restored him completely.

Lin Qingchen jumped out of bed and stretched his body hard. The bones all over his body instantly crackled like beans bursting.

"Phew... Where is everyone in Dorm Seven? Why are they all gone?"

Lin Qingchen checked the time. It was morning, but today was a rest day, so there shouldn't have been any classes.

Yet in the entire spacious dorm, the only other person there was Tang San, who was sleeping soundly nearby.

"Forget it. I'll go get breakfast first."

Lin Qingchen shook his head and thought no more about it.

But as soon as he stepped outside, he happened to run into several students from other grades whispering among themselves.

"Hey, did you hear? Those work-study students seem to have gotten into another conflict with the seniors."

"Of course I heard. Apparently, it's gotten to the point where they've arranged a fight. They're getting ready to start on the back hill."

"Really? Then we have to go watch the excitement."

"Right, right! Hurry, or we'll miss the show."

Lin Qingchen stopped in his tracks.

A fight?

He hadn't expected to run into a scene from the original story.

"Oh well, I'll go take a look."
