Tang Yue's delicate body trembled slightly, her slender jade hands tightly wrapped around Lin Chen's neck.
Her fair and tender face had, at some point, flushed crimson. With misty eyes, Tang Yue gazed tenderly at Lin Chen and said, "Not here, you'll wake Lin Yue!"
Lin Chen felt a surge of heat in his heart, picked up Tang Yue, and walked directly towards the bedroom.
…
While Lin Chen was immersed in Tang Yue's tenderness, on the Douluo Continent, the Shrek Academy group also returned to Soto City.
This trip to the Star Dou Great Forest was incredibly exciting for everyone. Besides the Spirit Duels and soul hunting, they also encountered the legendary Star Dou Overlord—the Titan Giant Ape.
Upon returning to Soto City, everyone felt exhausted, wanting nothing more than to rest well at Shrek Academy.
"What's going on over there? Why are there so many people!"
The Shrek Academy group looked in the direction Oscar was pointing, towards the distant Seven Treasure Merchant Association.
At this moment, a long queue had formed in front of the large Seven Treasure Merchant Association building. Most of the people in line emitted faint spirit power auras, clearly indicating they were Spirit Masters.
Despite the long queue, no one showed any impatience. On the contrary, their faces were beaming with bright smiles.
There were also many Spirit Masters whispering and chatting amongst themselves, but no one cut in line. Everything seemed very orderly!
The Shrek group exchanged glances, all showing curiosity. Dai Mubai chuckled, "Why don't we go see what's happening? Soto City hasn't been this lively in a long time!"
Dai Mubai's suggestion received everyone's approval. After learning the reason, Tang San's face was filled with disdain. In his heart, his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, was the true Theoretical Master. Other theories, in his opinion, were nothing special.
Aside from Tang San, everyone else found it incredible. A mere book about theory could be so popular, causing a long queue in front of the Seven Treasure Merchant Association—a sight never before seen.
At the same time, everyone was curious about what kind of theories were recorded in the book that could gain such widespread recognition.
"Should we also queue?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, a hint of longing on her face. She was eager to do anything that could help her improve.
Ning Rongrong smiled proudly, "Queue for what? Don't forget this is the Seven Treasure Merchant Association! Follow me!"
If the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School needed to queue to buy things at the Seven Treasure Merchant Association, it would be a joke.
Not only did she not need to queue, but she didn't even need to pay for things. She could just take whatever she liked.
Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, the Shrek group suddenly understood and followed Ning Rongrong into the Seven Treasure Merchant Association.
Inside the magnificent Seven Treasure Merchant Association, a dazzling array of goods was displayed. After Ning Rongrong revealed her identity, the manager of the merchant association, with a fawning expression, led everyone to a private room upstairs.
Inside the spacious private room, a faint fragrance lingered, giving a comfortable and peaceful feeling.
In the center of the private room was a silver long table, surrounded by exquisite armchairs.
Under the manager's hospitality, everyone found a seat they liked. Beautiful maids, carrying pastries, tea, and books, entered one by one.
Seeing how comfortable the environment within the merchant association was, the Shrek group's faces were beaming with bright smiles, and they indicated they were not in a hurry to return to Shrek Academy.
Everyone ate pastries while flipping through the books on the table.
"Encyclopedia of Martial Soul Cultivation, Lin Chen! Why does this name sound so familiar?" After seeing the author's name, Ning Rongrong, who had been smiling, suddenly sobered, deep in thought!
Beside her, Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly, thinking, "It couldn't be you, could it?"
"There are no useless Spirits, only useless Spirit Masters. Is this person plagiarizing my teacher's theory?" Just as he saw the beginning of the book, he found that the theories in the book were identical to Yu Xiaogang's theories. Tang San's face showed a disdainful smile, but soon he couldn't smile anymore.
"After awakening a Spirit, Soul Power is not immutable. Consuming certain heavenly treasures can increase Soul Power, and some special meditation methods also have this effect. For specific cultivation methods, please refer to: Mysterious Heaven Skill!"
"How is this possible? How could Mysterious Heaven Skill exist in this World?" Tang San couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.
"Could someone else, like me, have also come to this World from Bashu?"
Mysterious Heaven Skill could only be cultivated by Tang Sect inner disciples. If this person truly transmigrated from Bashu, would his unauthorized cultivation of the technique as an outer disciple be exposed?
Tang San's pupils constricted, and a sense of fear arose spontaneously.
Compared to the terrified Tang San, everyone else was very relaxed, enjoying the exquisite pastries and expensive tea, clearly a form of enjoyment.
Suddenly, Ma Hongjun burst out laughing, slapping his thigh and saying, "I never thought Grandmaster had such a past, merging with a pig Spirit, that's too funny!"
"There's nothing new under the sun!" Dai Mubai's lips curled up as he said softly.
Ma Hongjun's mockery also drew agreement from Dai Mubai, and Oscar laughed incessantly as if he had seen a joke.
Xiao Wu, beside Tang San, showed a hint of an awkward smile. She was all too familiar with who Yu Xiaogang was. Thinking back to how Tang San had once stood up for Yu Xiaogang, Xiao Wu couldn't help but turn to look at Tang San.
She saw Tang San sitting there in a daze, his expression exceptionally complex, as if he had lost his mind!
Confused, Xiao Wu gently tugged at Tang San's sleeve and asked with concern, "Third Brother, what's wrong?"
"Ah..." Xiao Wu's voice instantly brought Tang San back to his senses. He tried hard to control the fear in his heart, forced a strained smile, and said, "Xiao Wu, I'm fine!"
Just then, Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my god, no wonder this book is so popular! It turns out the cultivation methods inside are real!"
Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, everyone began to cultivate the methods in the book, only Tang San's eyes flickered with a hint of killing intent.
By presumptuously cultivating the Tang Sect's core cultivation method, everyone present had already chosen the path to death!
However, just thinking about the book's popularity, Tang San felt a deep sense of powerlessness. There were simply too many people who had chosen the path to death; he couldn't kill them all, simply couldn't kill them all.
As time passed, it was likely that everyone on the Douluo Continent would cultivate Mysterious Heaven Skill.
"Why is this happening? Why would Mysterious Heaven Skill be made public!" Tang San cried out in his heart while flipping through the contents of Mysterious Heaven Skill, hoping that the information in the book was incorrect.
Unfortunately, not only was the Mysterious Heaven Skill's operational pathway flawless, but it also included a human meridian diagram. With this diagram, ordinary people could master Mysterious Heaven Skill even faster.
