Chapter 55: Breakthrough to Soul King! Tang San Decides to Cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer
"Heh, being able to kill a 100,000-year Soul Beast at the quasi-Soul King level—this kind of Opportunity doesn't come often. You're a lucky kid."
Dugu Bo stepped forward and teased.
"Enough talk, Old Poison. I'll have to trouble you to be my Protector; the time required to absorb a 100,000-year Soul Ring shouldn't be short."
Chu Chen smiled. After Dugu Bo agreed, Chu Chen sat cross-legged. Then, the Blue Silver Emperor bloomed around him, and rich life energy rippled outward in the form of tangible golden light.
"Great Desolation Scripture!"
"Blue Silver Domain!"
Chu Chen silently recited in his heart. With the Fusion of the Blue Silver Domain and the Great Desolation Scripture, the Blue Silver Domain instantly covered the entire valley.
The Great Desolation Scripture was even more terrifying, directly covering a radius of a thousand meters. The life energy of all plants within that area flowed into Chu Chen's body, causing his Physical Body to radiate a lustrous glow.
"Boom!"
Chu Chen's aura was incredibly powerful. After gathering such rich life energy, his state reached its peak!
Dugu Bo stared at the vegetation rapidly withering around him and couldn't help but gape. Is this also an ability of the Blue Silver Emperor? It directly drained the life force of all the surrounding plants?!
"What a terrifying ability. Except for the Immortal Herbs, the life force of all other ordinary plants here has been drained. If the battlefield were in a forest, this kid would effectively have a constant stream of energy."
While marveling, Dugu Bo did not forget to keep a constant watch on Chu Chen's condition.
After all, a Soul King absorbing a 100,000-year Soul Ring was something that almost exceeded his understanding. If an ordinary person did this, they would only end up having their body burst!
Therefore, even though it was Chu Chen doing it, Dugu Bo felt a wave of worry; it was simply too unbelievable.
"Chu Chen, how confident are you?" Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask.
"It's a fifty-fifty chance. If I don't succeed, I'll die trying!"
Chu Chen fully unleashed the Blue Silver Emperor and began to fuse with the massive energy of the 100,000-year Soul Ring before him. The Blue Silver Domain and the Great Desolation Scripture were responsible for providing him with a continuous supply of energy!
Furthermore, if any injuries appeared in his body due to the impact of this violent energy, Chu Chen could recover at any time.
"Sigh, this kid... he's crazy!"
"It looks like I'll be waiting for a while. I'd better send a message to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to let them know, otherwise that girl from the Ye family will probably be worried."
Heaven Dou City, Shrek Academy.
When Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin arrived, they saw the ruined Shrek Academy, and their expressions immediately changed. Fortunately, Ning Rongrong was not injured.
"Rongrong, are you okay?" Ning Fengzhi asked with concern. If anything had happened to Ning Rongrong, he would surely regret it for the rest of his life.
"Daddy, I'm fine. That person wasn't targeting me."
Although Ning Rongrong was not injured, her expression was extremely downcast. Just watching Xiao Wu, who she spent every day with, being taken away, she felt as if a piece of her heart was missing.
"What exactly happened? Tell me about it."
The group gathered together. Aside from Yu Xiaogang, who had become a one-armed hero, and Ma Hongjun, who had become a eunuch, only Dai Mubai, who was the most severely injured, was still lying in bed recovering. The others had not suffered very serious injuries.
After understanding the sequence of events, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin fell silent.
"So that's how it is..."
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin exchanged a glance and pondered for a long time before speaking: "If that's the case, we are unable to help your academy. A 100,000-year Soul Beast in human form has attracted the attention of others."
"Although these words might make everyone feel uncomfortable, this... is the way of the World. The person who attacked was aiming for the 100,000-year Soul Beast; their target was not any of you."
Chen Xin agreed: "Therefore, they shouldn't come looking for trouble with Shrek later on. You don't need to worry too much."
"However, since this incident has occurred, I will keep an eye on the situation at Shrek Academy."
Ning Rongrong's eyes turned red, and she choked out: "Grandpa Sword, can't you save Xiao Wu either?"
Chen Xin shook his head: "Rongrong, you should understand. On the surface, the other side appeared with Dugu Bo and another mysterious Titled Douluo, and behind them, there was a hidden Titled Douluo who severely injured Tang Hao."
"Even excluding Dugu Bo, they possess at least two Titled Douluo. With such a powerful force, we cannot contend with them."
None of them were fools; they knew Chen Xin's words made sense. Even if they were in immense pain, they could only accept the fact that Xiao Wu had left them. If they wanted to blame someone... they could only blame the law of the jungle in this World.
Behind the waterfall near Holy Soul Village, the recovered Tang Hao brought Tang San back here.
"This is it, Little San. Previously, I planted your mother here, along with the Soul Bone she left for you... but it was taken away by that Chu Chen. I previously even thought it was Spirit Hall..."
Thinking of this, Tang Hao was overcome with rage again, his breathing becoming rapid. Upon hearing that his own mother was gone, the Soul Bone was gone, and the huge Opportunity that was the Blue Silver King was also gone, Tang San felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Daddy, can my Blue Silver Grass really never become the Blue Silver Emperor again?" Tang San's voice trembled slightly.
"There can only be one Blue Silver Emperor at a time, unless you kill that Chu Chen."
Tang Hao's turbid eyes were filled with killing intent. Yet, he also felt a wave of helplessness. The strong expert hidden behind Chu Chen was too terrifying; a single strike had severely injured him. If not for the fact that he had used Ring Explosion in advance, with the massive power protecting his own body, he would have likely fallen on the spot!
"Chu Chen, I, Tang San, will never rest until you are dead!"
Tang San angrily punched the wall beside him.
Tang Hao sighed and said to Tang San solemnly: "From now on, do not return to the academy for a short time. That guy's target is Xiao Wu, so your companions should not be harmed."
"From now on, you will cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer. We will make plans for the future later!"
Tang San nodded earnestly.
At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Half a month had passed. Dugu Bo had become accustomed to all the plants around him going from barren to full of vitality, the life energy being drained, and then gathering again, over and over... endlessly, never dying.
"Is a 100,000-year Soul Ring really that hard to absorb?"
If not for Chu Chen's steady aura, Dugu Bo would have feared that Chu Chen had met with some mishap. However, he had never absorbed a 100,000-year Soul Ring himself, so he didn't know.
"Boom!"
A powerful aura erupted. The golden natural patterns on the Blue Silver Emperor became incredibly blazing, and life energy rippled outward.
Black, Purple, Black, Black, Red!
As the fifth red Soul Ring completely fused into the Blue Silver Emperor, Chu Chen finally completed his Breakthrough at this moment. He had truly stepped into the Soul King Realm, having spent half a month absorbing this 100,000-year Soul Ring!
"Great, I finally succeeded."
Chu Chen lay on the ground, somewhat weak. He had faced life-threatening situations multiple times, his body had been pushed to the limit, and then he had restored his vitality. In a state of being on the verge of breaking, he had been reborn! Finally, he had absorbed his first 100,000-year Soul Ring.
