Douluo: I am an evil soul master, working from nine to five in the Tang Sect
Chapter 75: The Potential to Reach Demigod Level
Chapter 75: The Potential to Reach Demigod Level
“Luo Chen, you bastard…”
Seeing the familiar figure standing at the door, Wu Feng was about to say something, but her words froze the next moment.
Because at this moment, she could actually feel an extremely strong feeling of palpitations from Luo Chen in front of her. Even though the other party did not emit any aura, this feeling of palpitations was so strong.
The same was true for Ning Tian and others who were sitting next to her. They all looked at Luo Chen speechless, because Luo Chen’s temperament had changed so much at this moment. The strong sense of oppression that seemed to swallow people up was completely emanating from the inside out!
“You have… made a breakthrough?”
Looking at Luo Chen in front of him, who was obviously not as tall as himself, Tai’an inexplicably felt like he was being looked down upon. For a moment, he spoke with a dazed look in his eyes.
“Yes, I found a suitable soul beast, and I naturally broke through after absorbing its soul ring. Now I am considered one of the best students in Shrek Academy.”
Patting Tai’an’s shoulder, Luo Chen responded with a smile.
“Yes, based on your current three-ring soul master level cultivation, you can indeed be called a leader in this outer courtyard. I’m afraid your current cultivation is higher than Ning Tian’s, right?”
The moment Luo Chen placed his hand on his shoulder, Tai’an shuddered all over. In just this instant, he understood how terrifying the strength of Luo Chen, who had now broken through to the Soul Master level, was.
If his physical strength at the beginning could still compete with Luo Chen, then the gap between them now is simply too big!
However, he was wrong about one thing. The “outstanding ones” that Luo Chen mentioned did not only refer to the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy, but the entire Shrek Academy!
With his current strength that can easily kill ten thousand year soul beasts, he is not afraid at all even when facing the five-ring soul king level seniors in the inner courtyard. Although those who can enter the inner courtyard are all geniuses with impeccable talents, they are still a little inferior in front of Luo Chen.
As for Ning Tian, Wu Feng and others who had just been defeated by him, there was no need to mention it. Even if Luo Chen let them use one hand, they could easily defeat them. However, Luo Chen now disdained to do so. Isn’t this pure bullying?
“My current cultivation level is a secret. If it gets out, it might have a big impact. You just need to know that even a Four-ring Soul Sect is no match for me now.”
Luo Chen said casually.
However, these casual words, which sounded like casual conversation, made all the freshmen in Class 9 present stunned at this moment.
“Four-ring Soul Sect… But didn’t you just break through to the Three-ring Soul Venerable? How could you possibly defeat the Four-ring Soul Sect?”
After hearing Luo Chen’s words, Wu Feng couldn’t help but ask Luo Chen anxiously.
The reason why Luo Chen was able to defeat her, who was also at the second ring level, was entirely because Wu Feng did not understand Luo Chen’s own abilities, which led to his failure.
Although Ning Tian is a three-ring soul master, she is essentially just an auxiliary three-ring soul master and has no combat power. Even with the assistance of her own thousand-year soul skills, it will be difficult for Wu Feng to defeat a three-ring soul master who also has a thousand-year soul ring.
But now Luo Chen has just broken through to the third-ring Soul Master, and he actually declared that even the fourth-ring Soul Sect is not his opponent?
You should know that Wu Feng also watched the match between him and the three-ring soul master who was known as the best defense in the outer courtyard yesterday. Although it was not very difficult to win, he did use all his means, not to mention that there was also an auxiliary soul master assisting him.
Therefore, in her opinion, although Luo Chen could defeat him in a one-on-one situation, this was almost all his strength.
And now Luo Chen has broken through to the three-ring Soul Master level. After absorbing the third soul ring, both his physical fitness and soul power cultivation have been greatly improved, and his combat power has become even more terrifying.
But this was just a breakthrough in one realm. Although his strength had improved, it was not enough for Luo Chen to defeat the Four-Ring Soul Sect again across a major realm.
You should know that the gap between a three-ring Soul Master and a four-ring Soul Sect is quite large, which is completely incomparable to that between a two-ring and a three-ring Soul Master.
“You don’t need to worry about that. Anyway, all you need to do is, since I’ve been assigned to this class, then in the following freshman assessments, our freshman class nine will definitely be the undisputed first, and there will be no dispute about that!”
Hearing Wu Feng’s words full of doubt, Luo Chen just smiled indifferently and did not explain anything. Instead, he silently made a promise.
Although with his current cultivation and strength, it would seem bullying to enter the freshman assessment and compete with a group of first-year freshmen, Luo Chen’s own age is there.
Being of the same age, no matter how big the difference in strength is, it can only be considered as a competition.
“Well said, our class will definitely be the champion of the freshman assessment this time!”
While Luo Chen was talking to Wu Feng and the others, Mu Jin slowly walked in and spoke in agreement, with a reserved smile still on her face.
“I didn’t expect that you’ve already broken through to the third-ring soul master level just after the start of the school year. When Director Du came over this morning, even I was shocked.”
Looking at Luo Chen in front of her, whose temperament had changed greatly, Mu Jin’s eyes first flashed with surprise, but the next moment she returned to normal and spoke with a smile.
Even though she was also a graduate of Shrek Academy and was revered as a top genius, she was surprised by Luo Chen’s talent at this moment.
Because she clearly remembered that when he first entered the school, Luo Chen was only a level 27 second-ring great soul master. But only a few days later, he jumped from a second-ring great soul master to the level of a third-ring soul master!
Within three days, he directly jumped to the third level of soul power and broke through the bottleneck of the three-ring soul master in one fell swoop. Such a terrifying speed of cultivation can no longer be described as terrifying.
At least in all her years of studying and working at Shrek Academy, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation. However, Mu Jin was quite happy that such a monster that could not be described by common sense appeared in her class. After all, whether it was for the evaluation of teachers or to improve her qualifications in the academy, it required results.
Now, Luo Chen and Tai An, who were already among the best in the class, have made great improvements after their breakthrough. Mu Jin is also more confident about this freshman assessment.
At this moment, after seeing Mu Jin arriving, Luo Chen and Tai’an returned to their seats one after another. Although their strength has greatly improved now, they still need to give corresponding respect to Mu Jin, the class teacher.
Although their strength has improved, it does not mean that they can do whatever they want, at least not in Shrek Academy. Compared to Mu Jin, who is already a six-ring Soul Emperor, they are only two-ring Great Soul Masters and three-ring Soul Lords, and are still far behind.
……
Another day of classes ended. Although Luo Chen and Tai’an had set out to hunt spirit rings early in the morning, it was already afternoon when they came back. Now they had only a quick theory class, and the school bell had already rang.
After the class, Luo Chen and Tai’an ignored Ning Tian, Wu Feng and others who had a lot of questions in their minds, but stood up and walked towards the fighting arena behind the teaching building.
However, compared to Taian who looked both excited and serious, Luo Chen seemed extremely relaxed and said casually:
“Lao Tai, let me make this clear first. This time it was you who proposed to spar with me, so remember to pay the rental fee for the fighting arena as well.”
“Hey, you don’t even need to tell me that. It’s just ten gold soul coins. I can still afford it.”
Hearing Luo Chen’s words, Tai’an smiled helplessly.
Although he was extremely low-key in his daily life and style, he was still the prince of a hidden sect. It was just a few gold soul coins, which was not something he would take to heart.
Compared to these gold soul coins, the elixir that Luo Chen had given him before to make up for his congenital defects is worth thousands or even tens of thousands times more!
The elixir that can help him make up for the defects of his own martial soul and help him break through to the second-ring great soul master in one fell swoop, even if Luo Chen didn’t say it, Tai’an also understood its preciousness!
Even with the power of the entire family behind him, they were unable to solve the flaws in his martial soul. If such elixirs were really so easy to obtain, he wouldn’t have been stuck at one stage for so long.
“That’s good. It’s not that I’m stingy, but I don’t have that many gold soul coins right now. Even for the basic food and drink in the academy, I just eat Yuhao’s grilled fish…”
As he said this, Luo Chen himself could not help laughing. The number one genius in the outer courtyard, a three-ringed soul master who could rival a five-ringed soul king, did not even have money for a meal. If this were to be made known to others, people would probably drop their jaws in shock.
After all, in Shrek Academy, almost everyone is of noble birth, and they are rich kids who have been pampered since childhood. To them, gold soul coins are just a number, and they will never lack money to spend.
However, Luo Chen is different. Although he now has his own background, strength, and dignity, he still has nothing until now.
However, Luo Chen had already let it go a long time ago. Money is just the most basic thing. As long as one’s own strength is strong enough, money is just a string of numbers.
After all, if he could become a level 99 Ultimate Douluo like Long Xiaoyao, would the Gold Soul Coin still be of any use to him? If he really set his eyes on something, wouldn’t it be better for him to just snatch it away?
After all, on this continent, the strong are respected. Even if one is penniless and has no background, as long as one is strong enough, there will be people who will curry favor with him. Then, even if Luo Chen wants to establish a sect of his own, it will not be a difficult task.
However, after hearing what he said, Taian couldn’t help but twitched his eyes and said in surprise:
“Not really, Chenzi, you are now a three-ring soul master after all, so it’s easy for you to make money. But first, tell me what your current strength is.”
“Although I can barely fight against a four-ringed soul master at full power, I am only a two-ringed great soul master after all, and I only have one thousand-year soul ring. It is still quite difficult for me to defeat a soul master.”
“And Chenzi, you were able to defeat a three-ring soul master when you were at the second ring, so now that you have broken through to the third ring soul master, your strength must be even more terrifying. But at least it should be a cross-level battle, you can’t easily defeat a four-ring soul master, right?”
Tai’an had sparred with Luo Chen before, and although he lost miserably in the end, at least he had a general understanding of Luo Chen’s strength.
But now, even though Tai’an has successfully made up for the shortcomings of his Titan Giant Ape martial soul and reached the twenty-fourth level of soul power cultivation in one step, when facing Luo Chen, he feels that the gap between them has become even bigger!
At the beginning, he could still barely fight back, but now, Taian felt that he couldn’t even see the opponent’s taillights.
However, Luo Chen still looked relaxed and responded casually:
“Old Tai, you have to know that realm is just a standard line to measure strength. There are countless monsters throughout history who can fight across levels as easily as drinking cold water. It is unreasonable for you to apply the common sense of ordinary people to geniuses.”
“Besides, in my opinion, cultivation is just software. One’s own combat experience and combat skills are the real hardware. As long as one’s own ‘realm’ is high enough and the control of power is strong enough, then even a one-ring soul master can easily defeat a four-ring soul master!”
“I don’t know much about these, but I remember you said before that you would absorb the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring when you were a Three-Ring Spirit Master. It seems that you have succeeded. So what is your current strength? Can you really easily defeat a Four-Ring Spirit Master?”
Listening to Luo Chen’s confusing words, Tai’an felt a headache coming on. In his opinion, wasn’t his own soul power cultivation and soul ring level a reflection of his own strength?
As long as one’s own cultivation is high enough and the spirit ring configuration is strong enough, no matter what kind of genius one faces, one can still crush him with absolute hard power!
Seeing that Tai’an didn’t understand what he said, Luo Chen was not in a hurry. Anyway, the other party would understand these things sooner or later. With the Titan Giant Ape Martial Spirit that has made up for all his congenital defects, he will sooner or later become the top powerhouse on the continent.
The reason why Luo Chen said these words was just that he didn’t want Tai’an to follow in Xuanzi’s footsteps. He clearly had the potential to reach the demigod level, but in the end he couldn’t even break through to the Extreme Douluo level. This was such a pity.
