The principle was simple.
You don't just jump into something headfirst. You need to test the waters, make sure you don't go too far, and then ease your way in.
Hu Liena and the other two naturally hadn't gone through any kind of practice yet. They needed to start with practicing their three-person spirit fusion technique. Once they had mastered that, they could then add a fourth person and work on a four-person spirit fusion technique.
Beep!
[Diary, recording a wonderful life of travel.]
[Rewards being distributed...]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: All soul rings' lifespan increased by one thousand years.]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving a random reward: Enlightenment Pill.]
Huh?
Su Chen was momentarily bewildered when he saw the diary reward. What was this thing?
He looked at it carefully.
Su Chen realized the Enlightenment Pill was for the demon race to awaken their spirits. It wasn't very useful for him, seemingly prepared specifically for the Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Serpent.
Unbelievable!
He now found that this second reward was really something. It almost gave him what he needed when he needed it.
Although Su Chen had already tamed the Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Serpent, he couldn't communicate with it normally due to its age. This could cause problems in human society.
Now that he could give the Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Serpent enlightenment, Su Chen could precisely tell it what it could and couldn't do, avoiding some trouble.
Su Chen sat up and said, "I'm going out to feed Wangcai. Do you want to come with me and witness Wangcai's growth?"
Clang, clang, clang!
Just as Su Chen had thought, Hu Liena and the other two, the ones secretly watching, were also awake, guarding their secret rewards.
The three of them sat up, looking puzzled.
"Feed Wangcai?"
"It's the middle of the night! And Wangcai has already eaten so much; can it even eat anymore?"
"Yeah, it won't be able to move if it eats more."
Su Chen chuckled. "It's a good thing. Get dressed quickly. I'm going to awaken Wangcai's intelligence. It's also a good opportunity for it to re-acquaint itself with its three mistresses, right?"
Awaken its intelligence?
Hu Liena and the other two were curious and got dressed, following Su Chen down the mountain towards a nearby hill.
"Greetings, Your Excellency."
The waiter who had received a tip from Su Chen last time came forward to greet them. He had followed the boss's instructions and gathered dozens of people to help guard the Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Serpent in various locations.
Su Chen took out two hundred Gold Soul Coins and handed them over, saying, "Thank you for your hard work tonight. After we leave tomorrow, take everyone out for a good meal."
"Thank you, Your Excellency!"
The waiter was also excited; this big shot was truly arrogant, and he was also generous with his tips!
Su Chen led Hu Liena and the other two to the Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Serpent. The Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Serpent, which had been sleeping, suddenly opened its eyes, looking a bit… slow.
Su Chen took out the Enlightenment Pill from his body and said, "This is an extraordinary pill. Even a ten-year-old soul beast, once its intelligence is awakened, will eventually soar to the sky."
"Wangcai, oh Wangcai, meeting me, you who should have been a soul ring, already have the potential of a Beast God!"
As he spoke…
Su Chen had already put the pill into its mouth.
It melted in the mouth.
The Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Serpent didn't feel a thing. After all, the pill was so small, and it was so big.
Suddenly.
The Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Serpent seemed to have become smarter, its eyes fixed on Su Chen, recalling what he had just said.
"My name is Wangcai?"
Hu Liena asked curiously from the side, "It doesn't seem like anything has changed?"
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan also nodded, saying, "Yes, nothing seems to have changed."
"Still looks a bit slow, has it gotten any smarter?"
Huh?
The Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Serpent suddenly moved, wagging its tail at Hu Liena and the other two as if responding to them.
Su Chen said calmly:
"How could there be no change?"
"Wangcai can now completely understand what we're saying. Wangcai! Shake your right wing three times."
The Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Serpent moved its head, as if nodding, and then shook its right wing three times.
"Good heavens!"
"Wangcai only had a cultivation of just over a thousand years previously. Even with swallowing those soul beasts, it couldn't have evolved so quickly, right?"
"So it really has gotten smarter now?"
Hu Liena and her companions were also filled with surprise.
Su Chen looked pleased and said,
"Wangcai, flap your left wing three times, then your right wing five times, and finally, wag your tail."
Following Su Chen's command, the Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Serpent understood perfectly and did exactly as he instructed.
Hu Liena and the others were completely stunned this time.
"Amazing!"
"Wangcai really understood, it's really become smarter."
"Haha, good job, Wangcai!"
The Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Serpent blinked, signaling that it understood.
Thank you!
Su Chen saw this and instructed:
"You continue to rest here. We'll leave tomorrow morning. Remember not to actively harm humans; these people around are protecting your safety."
The Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Serpent lay on the ground, its wings also resting, indicating it understood and would behave!
[Instance Reward Distribution...] [Congratulations to Hu Liena, mentioned the most in the diary, for receiving the reward: Increase all spirit ring lifespans by one thousand years.] [Congratulations to Qian Renxue, randomly selected in the diary, for receiving the random reward: Soul power increased by one level.]
[Congratulations to Zhu Zhuqing, you have become a lucky audience member and can customize the theme of a diary entry once.]
Hu Liena and the other two were following Su Chen back to the hotel when they saw the rewards from the diary copy. Their faces showed a hint of oddness.
They had figured it out now.
Huo Wu.
Qian Renxue.
These two were pure, hardcore players who were literally paying with their lives to get rewards!
They remembered the last time they wrote about Hu Liena; the second reward was snatched up by Qian Renxue. Recently silent and reserved, Qian Renxue had actually gotten her hands on this reward again.
Pretty impressive!
Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy.
The Peach Garden Sisters were already asleep. They had been tired all day, and since they hadn't had much to do yesterday, and the third reward was so difficult to obtain, they weren't holding out much hope.
And so...
They had seen the reward in a daze, but didn't pay it any mind and went back to sleep.
Swoosh!
Xiao Wu suddenly sat bolt upright in bed. Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong also sat up with a "swoosh," their eyes wide as they looked at each other.
"Wow!"
"It's finally our turn."
"Waaaah!"
"Luck may be late, but it never fails to arrive. It's finally our sisters' turn."
The three of them were instantly excited, and all sleepiness vanished.
"Sisters united, their strength can cut through metal."
Ning Rongrong spoke, "Zhuqing, what should we ask this time?"
Xiao Wu looked at Zhu Zhuqing with anticipation.
Zhu Zhuqing smiled and said, "Don't worry!"
"This time, we'll ask Xiao Wu. We already asked about Rongrong last time. Let's see Xiao Wu's future from now on."
