Chapter 74 Are you born not to laugh?
“By whom?!”

After hearing Du Weilun’s words, Yan Shaozhe was shocked to the extreme, so much so that even his usually calm state of mind was now in turmoil.

“Yes, Dean, you heard it right. Luo Chen, whom I led to the Xingdou Great Forest to obtain the spirit ring today, was accepted as a disciple by Master Mu…”

Seeing the rare look of surprise on Yan Shaozhe’s face, Du Weilun also felt the same way. After all, as the senior executives of Shrek Academy, no one didn’t know about Mu Lao, who was the real core pillar of Shrek Academy!

But he just couldn’t understand how Luo Chen, who was only at the three-ring Soul Master level, could be accepted as a disciple by Master Mu. After all, Mu En’s first disciple was none other than Yan Shaozhe, the current dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy!
And at this moment, Luo Chen, who is just a freshman, has become Moon En’s disciple. Doesn’t this mean that he and Yan Shaozhe can even call each other brothers?
It is precisely because they have understood this that Du Weilun and Yan Shaozhe are so surprised. Yan Shaozhe, who was valued by Moon and accepted as a disciple, is now the dean of Shrek Academy. Then, as his second disciple, Luo Chen will at least be able to become a elder of the Sea God Pavilion in the future, right?
“This, I really underestimated him. I thought I had thought highly enough of him, but I never thought I was wrong…”

At this moment, Yan Shaozhe was extremely grateful that his move of granting Luo Chen the status of a core disciple of the Wuhun Department was valued by Moon En. In the future, he would at least become a super strong man with achievements no less than his, and would be more likely to be taught a set of skills by Moon En. By then, even he, the dean, might not be able to compare with Luo Chen.

“Dean, since Elder Mu thinks so highly of Luo Chen, should we raise his authority? After all, he is…”

Du Weilun was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yan Shaozhe:

“There is no need for that. Elder Mu’s vision will definitely not be wrong. Since Elder Mu did not publicize this matter, he must want Luo Chen to have some more experience. Now that Luo Chen has been transferred to the inner courtyard so early, this is not a good thing for him.”

“Besides, next year will be the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition. At this critical juncture, all matters need to be carefully considered. Although Luo Chen has been promoted to a core disciple, his performance will ultimately depend on him.”

“If he can really be the best in the outer courtyard with his own strength, then it is not a bad idea to transfer him to the inner courtyard. As for now, let him lay a good foundation in the outer courtyard peacefully. It is better not to do things like forcing things to happen.”

Yan Shaozhe is very experienced in how to train students. When dealing with students with strong personalities, he adopts the method of using softness to overcome hardness. When dealing with students with lazy personalities, he encourages them to improve under pressure.

The same applies to Luo Chen now. Although he is already Mu Lao’s disciple and also his junior brother, this does not mean anything. After all, Shrek Academy often speaks with strength.

He was able to grant him the status of a core disciple before the freshman assessment, which was already an excess for a first-year student.

“Okay, Dean.”

Du Weilun always listens to Yan Shaozhe’s words and does not have any opinions. He knows in his heart that compared with Yan Shaozhe, his thoughts and views are still too one-sided.

“Let’s put Luo Chen’s matter aside for now. Since even Elder Xuan has personally gone to help him hunt spirit rings, it means that Elder Mu is still very concerned about him. There is no need for us to disrupt Elder Mu’s plan. We just need to give him some help.”

“By the way, Weilun, how is Huo Yuhao, the one I asked you to keep an eye on, doing? Have you figured out anything?”

Yan Shaozhe changed the subject and asked Du Weilun.

However, Du Weilun shook his head and responded:

“I can’t tell anything from this. His first soul ring is just a white ten-year soul ring, and his soul power is also average. I’ve been watching him for a long time, and he doesn’t seem to have any outstanding qualities.”

“But his own martial soul is quite interesting. His main martial soul is the Spirit Eyes, a purely spiritual martial soul. This kind of alternative spiritual martial soul is rarely seen in our outer courtyard, and it is a rare main martial soul…”

“The original martial spirit?”

Hearing Du Weilun’s words, Yan Shaozhe was stunned at first, but when he thought that his first soul ring was only at the ten-year level, the surprise on his face subsided again.

“Forget it, it’s just a little fellow with a ten-year spirit ring. There’s nothing to pay attention to.”

After hearing Du Weilun’s words, Yan Shaozhe thought for a moment, and then spoke like this.

“Dean, why do you want me to pay attention to that guy? He just defeated a three-ring soul master together with Luo Chen.”

Seeing Yan Shaozhe’s pensive look, Du Weilun couldn’t help but ask.

In his opinion, although the original martial soul is rare, it is too difficult for a soul master with pure spiritual attributes to improve his own strength and practice to become a powerful soul master. Not to mention the difficulty of practicing spiritual martial souls, just obtaining soul rings is a big difficulty!
Among all types of soul masters, the soul rings of spiritual soul masters are the most difficult to obtain, because the soul rings they need are the same as their own martial soul attributes, which are spiritual attributes. However, in the soul beast forest, there are very few soul beasts of the spiritual attribute…

This has led to a situation where many spiritual soul masters with good martial souls, although seemingly having a bright future and unlimited glory, have a very difficult time obtaining soul rings, thus gradually falling from excellence to mediocrity.

“It’s all because of what that little fellow Luo Chen said. Since that fellow was willing to choose Huo Yuhao as his teammate and fight with him, then Huo Yuhao must have some extraordinary qualities that we just haven’t discovered yet…”

“But since even you think Huo Yuhao has no value in training, then there is no need to pay attention to him anymore. Just arrange for him to be with Qian Duoduo. After all, that guy came to me not long ago to ask for someone to come over.”

As Yan Shaozhe was talking, Du Weilun beside him also took note silently, but he still felt that something was wrong, as if he had missed something very important…

On the other hand, all the students in Class 9 were also shocked. Although they all regarded Luo Chen as the strongest in Class 9, in essence, Luo Chen was only a second-ring Great Spirit Master, while Ning Tian was a third-ring Spirit Master. In terms of cultivation, Ning Tian was better.

But no one expected that after just one night, Luo Chen’s own cultivation level soared like riding a train, and now he has broken through to level 30 in one fell swoop, becoming a Soul Master-level powerhouse that there are only a few of in the entire outer courtyard!
Although none of the students in Class Nine present were willing to believe this, the facts were already in front of them. Taian, who had absorbed the spirit rings and returned to the class, had now become a two-ring great spirit master.

Moreover, in terms of soul power level, he is not inferior to Wu Feng and others who have the strongest soul power in the class except Ning Tian and Luo Chen. Now he has reached the twenty-fourth level of soul power cultivation, and his strength is even more terrifying than before!
“Hahaha, what do you think, classmate Wu Feng? The reason why I couldn’t defeat you before was only because of your second spirit ring and Ning Tian’s assistance. Now let’s try again, the result will surely be different, right?”

Tai’an, who had just absorbed his second soul ring and broken through to the second-ring great soul master, immediately looked for Wu Feng, who was also a level 24 combat soul master and with whom he had previously sparred.

He had been unhappy with the other party for a long time. If it weren’t for Ning Tian, ​​a Soul Master who possessed the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial spirit, he would have been able to beat the other party when he was at the first ring. But now it is different, he has successfully broken through to the second ring Soul Master, and also possesses a thousand-year soul ring!

At this point, even if Wu Feng and Ning Tian attack together, Taian is absolutely sure that he can defeat them both!
“The sky is clear and the rain has stopped, and you think you are fine again. Do you think you are that pervert Luo Chen? You just broke through the second ring, but you are so arrogant to say such things. I think you have absorbed the spirit ring and made yourself stupid, right?”

Wu Feng, who had suffered a lot from Luo Chen, did not attack directly as he did before even when facing Tai’an’s active provocation. Instead, he fought back with words in the same way.

In her opinion, although Tai’an’s strength is indeed very strong, there is still a certain distance between him and her who is assisted by Ning Tian. Apart from Luo Chen, which other two-ring great soul master can fight against and defeat a two-ring great soul master alone, plus a three-ring auxiliary soul master?
So at this moment, facing Tai’an’s words, Wu Feng not only did not look angry at all, but she raised the corners of her mouth with a sneer. However, the next moment, she could no longer laugh.

Because at this moment, Tai’an in front of her has already released his own martial soul and soul ring. Normally, a great soul master who has just broken through the second ring only has two hundred-year soul rings, and she is the same.

But the Tai’an in front of him was not like that. Beside his swollen body, there was a…purple soul ring, which was actually a thousand-year soul ring!
“Purple… Thousand Year Spirit Ring?”

Looking at the crystal purple soul ring floating beside Tai’an, Wu Feng couldn’t help swallowing and muttering with a stutter, his eyes full of disbelief.

Looking at this scene, not to mention her, even Ning Tian and Nammen Yoona who were sitting next to her watching the show were stunned at this moment. The smiles on their faces gradually froze, and then they showed a look of surprise and doubt.

“Huh? Why aren’t you guys laughing? Are you born not to laugh?”

Looking at Wu Feng and the other two who were standing there in a daze after he released his martial spirit, as well as the group of students from Class 9 who were just watching the show, Taian’s expression at this moment was extremely insolent.

Although he did not care about his own fame, he had been questioned by others before because he was only a first-ring soul master. But now, he has truly shut everyone up with his own strength!

“Student Wu Feng, do you still think I was joking when I said that? If you think so, we can go to the fighting arena and have a competition. I will let you see the difference between the second ring and the second ring!”

Tai’an did not give Wu Feng time to think, but spoke to him with a smile.

However, facing Tai’an’s insulting words, although Wu Feng’s breathing became a little rapid and his hands were clenched, he still did not lose his mind.

After being “tortured” by Luo Chen, her temper had changed a lot. She was no longer as impulsive as before, and she had learned to think ahead about everything. Therefore, even when Tai’an provoked her like this at this moment, she still held back.

Because she knew that once she really agreed to the other party’s request in a fit of anger, she would really fall into the other party’s trap, and she would rush into it headfirst like a fool!

Although she didn’t understand why Tai’an was able to absorb the Millennium Soul Ring when she was only at the second level, she could be sure of one thing: under the same level, she, who only had two Hundred-Year Soul Rings, would never be able to defeat the opponent with a Millennium Soul Ring. This was the absolute gap in soul rings!

Now it was Tai’an’s turn to be surprised. He didn’t expect that facing his repeated provocations, the other party, who should have gone berserk, could actually hold back at this moment. This made him look at Wu Feng with some admiration.

But at this moment, Ning Tian came back to his senses from his daze, and then asked:
“Tai’an, can you tell me how you absorbed the Millennium Spirit Ring when you were only at the Second Ring? This seems to go against the basic common sense of martial spirits, right?”

It’s not like she had never seen people absorbing energy beyond their level, but that was only a leap of a hundred years. Not like Tai’an, who directly jumped to the thousand-year level!

There is a fundamental difference between a hundred-year soul ring and a thousand-year soul ring. Even though she had been regarded as the apple of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect’s eye since she was a child and had been cultivated with all the sect’s resources, she was unable to absorb a thousand-year soul ring with her second soul ring.

This is really unreasonable!

Ning Tian’s question was also what the new students in Class 9 wanted to ask, but Taian responded as if it was a matter of course:

“Absorbing a thousand-year spirit ring beyond one’s level, isn’t this something that can be done with sufficient physical fitness and mental strength? If there is anyone who truly goes against the common sense of the spirit master world, it has to be this guy.”

As he said this, Taian turned around as if he had sensed something, and looked at Luo Chen, who had appeared at the door of the class at some point, watching the show silently…

As everyone turned their heads to look at him, Luo Chen also smiled and agreed:
“Yeah, is it that difficult to absorb it across levels?”
