The room was empty, and it was evident that Hu Liena had run out.
Jiang Chen fiddled with his wet hair, feeling quite helpless. He hadn't expected that the moment he returned, Hu Liena would see him completely naked.
After waiting about ten minutes, Hu Liena finally came back.
By now, her expression had returned to normal. Seeing Jiang Chen sitting on the sofa, she didn't show any excitement.
"You're back." She said calmly, as if nothing had happened earlier.
Jiang Chen felt a bit awkward, but he keenly noticed a trace of panic in the depths of Hu Liena's eyes. Clearly, her heart wasn't as calm as her surface appearance.
"Mm, Senior Sister, long time no see." Jiang Chen stood up.
His handsome face, tall and straight figure, and spirited demeanor instantly made Hu Liena's eyes light up.
Hu Liena couldn't help but click her tongue in admiration. "I never thought you'd grow so much in just a few years, kid. You're way more handsome now than when you were that little brat."
Seeing Hu Liena gradually break into a smile, Jiang Chen also smiled.
"Senior Sister, you've become even more beautiful and captivating."
With that smile, the slight awkwardness between them finally disappeared, and that familiar feeling returned.
"You brat, after three years, you're almost taller than your Senior Sister." Hu Liena reached out to pinch Jiang Chen's cheek, then stepped in front of him and raised her hand to measure his height against her head.
Jiang Chen was now only half a head shorter than her.
Inhaling the fragrance from Hu Liena's body, with her prominent chest nearly pressing against him, Jiang Chen quickly stepped back and accidentally fell onto the sofa.
Hu Liena burst out laughing and gave Jiang Chen a playful glare. "Little Junior Brother, I never thought after all these years you'd still be the same. Now you've made your Senior Sister want to test my charm on you again."
"No, please don't!" Jiang Chen hurriedly raised his hand to stop her. He was genuinely a little afraid of Hu Liena now. If something embarrassing happened...
He dodged Hu Liena, stood up abruptly, and headed for the door.
"I've been back for so long; I should go see Teacher."
"This kid's gotten more timid as he's grown up. Back then, he let me ravage him mercilessly, but now he doesn't even dare get close to me. He must have a guilty conscience." A playful glint danced in Hu Liena's eyes as she quickly followed.
"The teacher is in the study handling official business." Hu Liena caught up and reminded him.
Soon, the two arrived at Bibi Dong's study. After knocking, they went in.
Bibi Dong looked up, her eyes faintly brightening. She stood.
"You're back." She smiled as she walked over.
"Teacher, I'm back." Jiang Chen looked at the captivating Pope before him, feeling a surge of emotion.
His tremendous progress over these three years was inseparable from Bibi Dong sending him to the Death Camp.
There, he learned to endure hardship. The instructors' brutal training had forged his tenacious will.
Bibi Dong was still just as beautiful. Three more years had passed, yet she showed no sign of aging, still looking like she was in her thirties.
Now dressed in casual clothes, she lacked the Pope's majesty but carried a mature nobility and elegance.
"It's good that you're back." She gently stroked Jiang Chen's head with a satisfied smile.
She had always known about Jiang Chen's training situation, and his performance over these years had truly impressed her.
She could hardly believe a child so young could achieve this much, far surpassing Hu Liena's performance back then.
"You two sit for a moment while the teacher finishes some matters." She said, then returned to her seat and resumed handling official business.
Jiang Chen and Hu Liena sat to the side, quietly waiting.
After a while, Bibi Dong stood up, put on her papal robe, and regained her dignified demeanor.
"Come, Little Chen. Let the teacher see how much your strength has improved over these years. Later, you'll spar with your Senior Sister."
Jiang Chen smiled wryly as he followed Hu Liena.
Noticing Jiang Chen's expression, Hu Liena couldn't resist bumping him lightly and whispering, "What's wrong? Scared?"
"Senior Sister, please go easy on me later."
Hu Liena patted Jiang Chen lightly. "Relax, Senior Sister will definitely take good care of you."
Jiang Chen felt helpless. He still didn't know exactly what level Hu Liena had reached, and since she was a charm-based control-type Spirit Master, could he even resist her?
Soon, the master and two disciples arrived at a spacious training ground. In the center stood a tall arena.
"Go up." Bibi Dong instructed.
Jiang Chen and Hu Liena stepped onto the arena, standing ten meters apart.
"Little Chen, show your full strength. Let the teacher see." A hint of anticipation shone in Bibi Dong's eyes.
"Yes, Teacher."
"Mm, release your martial souls."
Hu Liena's martial soul manifested and merged into her body. Fox ears and a fox tail emerged, and a natural wave of charm instantly intensified.
"Hu Liena, martial soul Fox, level 39 Control-type Battle Soul Venerable. Please advise me."
After speaking, she and Bibi Dong both looked expectantly at Jiang Chen.
The zombie martial soul possessed him. Black eyes, long sharp fangs, razor-sharp nails—Jiang Chen's handsome aura instantly turned eerie, his entire body exuding an evil presence.
Bibi Dong's eyes suddenly brightened, nodding in great satisfaction. This aura, and the two purple spirit rings on Jiang Chen, made her extremely pleased.
From Long Shan's report, she knew Jiang Chen's second spirit ring had already reached five thousand years. It was truly unbelievable. She guessed that Jiang Chen might have the potential to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring for his third ring.
"Jiang Chen, martial soul Zombie, level 29 Strong Attack-type Great Soul Master. Please advise me."
She already knew Jiang Chen's talent was monstrous, but Hu Liena still hadn't expected that in just three years, Jiang Chen had cultivated to level 29; he only needed one more level to become a Soul Venerable like her.
Suppressing her shock, she said, "Senior Sister won't hold back. Do your best."
With that, her first spirit ring lit up. Jiang Chen's monstrous talent gave her immense pressure; if she couldn't subdue him even with a ten-level advantage, Teacher would surely be disappointed.
Jiang Chen's expression shifted slightly. He was all too familiar with Hu Liena's first two skills. Back then, she had tormented him day and night, leaving him with lingering fears even now.
Hu Liena's large tail began glowing red. In an instant, Jiang Chen felt his resistance to charm plummet.
His mind dazed for a moment, and the Hu Liena before him seemed even more alluring.
Not daring to delay, the moment Hu Liena's skill took effect, his second spirit ring lit up. A purple poison array formed beneath Hu Liena's feet, covering a ten-meter radius around her.
Strands of purple mist rose from the poison array, causing Hu Liena's expression to change dramatically.
