Chapter 70 Apprenticeship!

“Did you break through again?”

Xuan Zi’s tone was just like his expression, both of them looked incredulous.

It’s no wonder that Xuan Zi was so surprised. After all, Luo Chen had just absorbed the soul ring and broke through to the Soul Master level. Logically speaking, the cultivation accumulated in his body would have exploded as early as when he broke through to the realm. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Luo Chen to reach the peak of level 36 right after the breakthrough!
But now, it has only been less than half an hour since Luo Chen absorbed the soul ring and improved his soul power level. But in such a short period of time, he has broken through again!
At this moment, seeing Luo Chen’s own soul power fluctuations increase again, Xuanzi also had a new understanding of Luo Chen’s talent. For a moment, he roughly understood why Mu Lao specially asked him to bring Luo Chen to the Poseidon Pavilion.

This talent for cultivation that is as easy as drinking water, and this terrifying combat power that is enough to cross two major realms and kill soul beasts, is enough to illustrate Luo Chen’s own talent. It is no exaggeration to say that even Xuan Zi, at Luo Chen’s age, does not have such terrifying combat power!
However, he was just a first-year student who was not even twelve years old, but he was able to kill a soul beast with ten thousand years of cultivation on his own, and he even absorbed the ten thousand year soul ring when he was on the third soul ring. Not to mention the outer courtyard, even in the inner courtyard there are not many such monstrous students!

“Well, Master Xuan, I am now level 37, and not far from the fourth-ring Soul Sect. I estimate that I will be able to break through to the Soul Sect in about three months. By then, I am afraid I will have to trouble Master Xuan for help again.”

As he spoke, Luo Chen also smiled at Xuan Zi.

Although the amount of energy from heaven and earth that needs to be absorbed from Soul Master to Soul Master is several times that of Great Soul Master to Soul Master, Luo Chen is confident that he can successfully break through to the fourth ring within a few months.

In his opinion, it is not as difficult for a current level 37 Soul Master to cultivate to level 40 Soul Sect as it was for a previous Great Soul Master to cultivate to Soul Master.

After the martial soul awakens, the martial soul itself can absorb the life force and energy between heaven and earth for cultivation, and Luo Chen doesn’t even need to practice Xuantian Gong independently.

At the beginning, Luo Chen still needed to set aside some time to practice Xuantian Gong, but now his martial soul can practice independently. Although the efficiency is not as fast as when he actively practiced, it has greatly shortened his practice time.

Moreover, the life force on this Sea God Island is so rich. If Luo Chen can practice here for a long time, then it won’t even take a few months for Luo Chen to break through to the Four-Ring Soul Sect!

However, as a first-year student in the outer courtyard, he does not have the qualifications to stay here for a long time to practice like the elders. Even though he is now a core disciple of the Wuhun Department, he is still not qualified.

At the very least, you have to be an inner court student!
“Hahaha, this is nothing but trouble. I wish there were more of these kinds of things. If the talents of the students in the outer courtyard were as abnormal as yours, I would feel more at ease.”

As he spoke, Xuan Zi’s eyes were fixed on Luo Chen, and he couldn’t help but shook his head.

He also knew that it was impossible for monstrous students like Luo Chen to appear in large numbers. In the tens of thousands of years of Shrek Academy’s history, it would take at least a few hundred years for a strong man like him to appear. And for a student with a talent as terrifying as Luo Chen to appear, it would probably take thousands of years!
“Master Xuan, who is the senior we met in the Xingdou Great Forest just now, and what is the Holy Spirit Church?”

Although Luo Chen knew it himself, he still asked Xuan Zi with lingering fear.

After hearing what Luo Chen said, Xuan Zi’s face became serious, but he did not choose to hide it. After a moment of silence, he explained to Luo Chen:

“That person, Long Xiaoyao, was a great warrior who was famous throughout the continent a hundred years ago. His cultivation was so profound that even I cannot reach his level. I am afraid that only the current leader of our Sea God Pavilion, Elder Mu, can surpass him. As for the Holy Spirit Church…”

As he spoke, Xuan Zi narrowed his eyes slightly, paused for a moment, and then spoke to Luo Chen:

“It is an extremely evil organization on the continent. All of its members are evil soul masters who have chosen to degenerate for various reasons. At the beginning of their cultivation, these evil soul masters had to resort to various evil means to cultivate.”

“Since you, Luo, were also mistaken for an evil soul master before, you should also know how cautious the empires on the continent are when dealing with evil soul masters, because any evil soul master, once he grows up, will be a huge disaster!”

“Previously, there was an evil soul master from the Holy Spirit Church who was causing harm to all quarters on the continent. Due to the special nature of his own martial soul, he cultivated to the level of a Titled Douluo in just ten years. His strength was terrifying, and he was extremely cruel and bloodthirsty.”

“We sent several teachers and students from the inner courtyard to eradicate it, but without exception, they all died. Finally, after I learned about this, I personally took action and spent several days to completely eliminate that guy!”

After finishing speaking, Xuan Zi also took a deep breath, his eyes full of regret, because his misjudgment had led to the death of several inner court disciples, several Soul Douluos and even Titled Douluo-level teachers, causing heavy losses to Shrek Academy!
After hearing this, Luo Chen nodded silently. He certainly knew how terrifying the evil soul master was. Although it was impossible for his talent to be as abnormal as his, it still should not be underestimated!
It is not uncommon for evil soul masters to cultivate from scratch to the level of Nine-Ring Titled Douluo in just ten years. Almost any evil soul master can do this if the special conditions of their own martial soul are met, and this is what makes evil soul masters so scary.

For an ordinary soul master, even a genius with extremely high talent, it would take at least several decades to start practicing from the time of awakening the martial soul and practice all the way to the level of Nine-ring Titled Douluo. This is also due to the fact that they have strong natural talents.

As for some soul masters who are not very talented, let alone breaking through to the Titled Douluo, even if they are eight-ringed Soul Douluo or seven-ringed Soul Sage, they may not be able to break through in their entire life. The reality is so cruel.

If there are no special means to assist, the strong will naturally become stronger, and the weak will never be able to compare with the strong, and the gap between the two will become larger and larger with the passage of time.

For a moment, Luo Chen began to fantasize in his mind. If he really hunted soul beasts desperately without regard for the consequences and absorbed their life force for cultivation, how long would it take him to reach the level of Titled Douluo?

Five years or three years?
According to Luo Chen’s current training speed, he is confident that he can reach the level of Titled Douluo before he turns 20. However, it is hard to say how many years it will take to reach the level of Titled Douluo. After all, his own martial spirit cannot be measured by common sense.

“So, Luo, you must not join the Holy Spirit Church. Otherwise, I dare not imagine how great a disaster it would bring to the continent if you became an evil soul master with your talent. By then, I may not be able to stop it.”

“But you can rest assured. Since you are now a student of Shrek Academy, no matter what your own martial soul is like, as long as you don’t do anything that harms the continent, this place will always be your refuge. I and a group of elders will defend this place at the risk of our lives!” Xuan Zi said seriously.

When Luo Chen heard this, he nodded. He didn’t think Xuan Zi was joking.

“Xuan Zi, bring that little guy in…”

Just as Luo Chen and Xuan Zi walked to the entrance of Poseidon Pavilion, that familiar voice sounded again, and a gentle and rich aura of light instantly filled their bodies.

If a soul master has a dark attribute martial soul, he will definitely feel extremely disgusted by such rich light energy. The moment the light energy fills the body, the body will automatically reject it.

But at this moment, Luo Chen looked like he was enjoying it. Although his own Death Scythe martial soul involved the aspect of death, it did not contain the attribute of darkness. Compared with the attributes of darkness and light, Luo Chen was more inclined to the sacred. Therefore, this rich light energy could only make Luo Chen feel warm and comfortable.

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as attribute restraint for Luo Chen’s own Scythe of Death martial spirit, because apart from death and holiness, the Scythe of Death martial spirit does not have any attributes attached.

Feeling the sacred aura that was constantly emanating from Luo Chen due to the energy of light, which was completely different from the strong aura of death before, Xuan Zi was stunned at first, and then he couldn’t help but smiled and shook his head. Now, no matter what happened to Luo Chen, he was no longer surprised.

“Let’s go, Luo boy, Mr. Mu is waiting for you.”

As he spoke, Xuanzi gently pushed open the magnificent and simple gate of the Sea God Pavilion and walked in with Luo Chen.

When Luo Chen walked into the Poseidon Pavilion, he was surprised by the vast space in front of him. He saw that in this space, there was a strong breath of life and light everywhere, especially the breath of light, which was almost turning into substance.

At this moment, Luo Chen also understood where this unusually rich breath of light and life in this space came from.

The Poseidon Pavilion itself was built in the tree hole of the huge ancient golden tree on the Poseidon Island. It was precisely because of the light energy and life energy filled in the ancient golden tree that the light and life breath in this space were so rich.

Just as Luo Chen was looking around, the same powerful god-like life breath that he had seen before appeared in Luo Chen’s eyes again. It was the “dormitory manager” that Luo Chen had seen at the dormitory door before, that is, the current leader of the Poseidon Pavilion, the strongest person in Shrek Academy in nearly a thousand years, Moon.

However, compared to a few days ago, although his life level was still as terrifying, the life breath on his body had visibly decreased, and it was still decreasing at this moment, and the speed was so fast that even Luo Chen was frightened.

“Mr. Mu!”

Looking at the old man in front of him who was already in his twilight years and whose life force seemed to be about to die at any moment, Luo Chen also saluted respectfully.

After all, the reason why he was able to return safely from the Star Dou Great Forest was because Moon took action to stop Long Xiaoyao. Otherwise, even if several Luo Chens came together, they would not be a match for the other party and would probably die on the spot with one blow.

“Haha, little guy, this isn’t the first time we’ve met. You’re very special. I noticed you when you first came to the academy. Your martial spirit and spirit skills are very interesting…”

As if sensing that Luo Chen had come in front of him, the old man slowly opened his eyes full of vicissitudes of life, looked at Luo Chen in front of him, who had grown taller again after breaking through to the Soul Master level, and then spoke happily.

Although he was also facing such a powerful Extreme Douluo, when facing Moon, Luo Chen did not feel strong pressure like he did when facing Long Xiaoyao. Instead, he felt a sense of ease and comfort like a spring breeze.

“Indeed, I didn’t expect that you are the strongest person in Shrek Academy. Elder Mu, I wonder what you want to teach me by calling me here this time?”

Obviously Luo Chen didn’t want to say anything more on the topic of his own martial soul and soul skills, so he asked directly and clearly.

“I can’t say I’m giving you any advice. Although I’m stronger than you, I’m only older than you. Even though I was able to kill a hundred thousand year old spirit beast and absorb its spirit ring by myself when I was a Soul Sage, I still have to follow the routine when I’m a Soul Venerable.”

“Just after breaking through the three-ring soul master, there has been such a huge change. Whether it is physical fitness, mental strength, or soul power level, it is different from a few days ago. Moreover, when he was a three-ring soul master, he hunted ten thousand year soul beasts alone…”

“When I was your age, although my soul power level was much higher than yours, I was still not as strong as you when it came to my own strength. If I hadn’t seen you at the beginning, I would have suspected that you were a soul beast in human form.”

As Moon En spoke, he also realized that he seemed to be a little talkative and couldn’t help but smile at Luo Chen in front of him.

“Haha, when I get older, I just like to reminisce about the past. Seeing a little guy like you who is so talented, I can’t help but think of my youth. At that time, I was also as brilliant as you. At the peak of my career, I suppressed an era with my own strength…”

“But that’s all in the past, let’s not talk about it. The reason why I asked Xuanzi to bring you here this time is because of your own talent. Little guy, now I solemnly ask you, are you willing to be my disciple?”
