"What, still mad? I know I was wrong!" Jiang Shaoxu said sweetly, her expression full of Charm.
Lin Chen turned to look at Jiang Shaoxu and said softly, "You've already awakened your Spirit. The Spirit Eyes greatly enhance Spirit-element magic. You absolutely don't need to cultivate in that way!"
"Are you jealous?" Jiang Shaoxu laughed.
Mu Ningxue, who was by her side, shook her head slightly at Jiang Shaoxu's alluring appearance. She admitted she couldn't compare.
"It's not jealousy. Since you promised me, I hope you can do it!" Lin Chen said indifferently.
Jiang Shaoxu shook Lin Chen's arm and said coquettishly, "Alright, alright, I know, don't be mad anymore!"
In front of Lin Chen, Jiang Shaoxu displayed her strongest talent to its fullest.
And it had to be said, Lin Chen fell for it. Women, when they're sweet, are more endearing.
...
"The last time they went to clear out the demons, the island they reached was this rocky island. They were ambushed by sea demons while resting there at night and suffered heavy losses!" Ai Jiangtu said, pointing to an island on the map.
"So that means it's where sea demons appear most frequently. Speaking of which, what kind of sea demons are they? If they're Azure-Scaled Sea Demons, then we should just turn back. If there's a whole tribe of those things, we're done for!" Jiang Yu said.
Jiang Yu was a fair-skinned young man with glasses, looking like an erudite scholar. He was also the team's typical demon encyclopedia.
"They're red. It's impossible for them to be Azure-Scaled Sea Demons," Nan Jue said.
"Speaking of which, I'm not very good at water combat. If we get dragged into the sea, wouldn't us non-water mages be dead for sure?" Jiang Yu said seriously.
Hearing their discussion, Lin Chen's trio didn't offer any opinions. Water-element mages were good at sea combat, and Ice-element mages were the same. Lin Chen had both these elements, and he was Super-Tier. With Lin Chen's strength, there was no need to worry about any accidents.
Similarly, Mu Ningxue primarily cultivated the Ice element, and her Ice element abilities were not much worse than Lin Chen's. Jiang Shaoxu also had the Ice element. Although it wasn't her primary cultivation, with Lin Chen around, protecting her alone was easy.
Just as they were chatting, Ai Jiangtu suddenly came over to Lin Chen's side.
"Thank you for your selflessness. The Spirit system is very strong and will surely benefit all of humanity!" Ai Jiangtu said. His voice was very soft, but his joy was evident.
Lin Chen wasn't surprised by this. The direct descendant of the Ai family was naturally trustworthy; otherwise, how could Ai Jiangtu have qualified as the team captain for the competition?
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Selflessness is an overstatement. It's just a matter of mutual benefit. Do you mean your Spirit has awakened?"
Lin Chen was never a selfless person. Only by relying on Wei Fang could he fulfill his agreement with Qian Renxue faster!
Ai Jiangtu nodded and said, "Thanks to you, it awakened just before we set off. Can I ask you directly if I have any questions in the future?"
Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "Of course, just call me if you have any questions. Oh, and what kind of Spirit do you think it is, and what's your Soul Power?"
"It's a Spirit that looks like a crystal ball, and my Soul Power is only rank seven!" Ai Jiangtu said.
"What, your Soul Power is also rank seven? Why is my Soul Power only rank six!" Jiang Shaoxu pouted, complaining with a displeased expression.
Lin Chen's mouth twitched when he heard this. To be honest, Jiang Shaoxu's own cultivation talent was only average, and part of her magic cultivation talent could be reflected in her Spirit.
Jiang Shaoxu was older than both Lin Chen and Mu Ningxue. In the original work, even with the backing of the Jiang family, she wasn't much stronger than Mu Ningxue.
Of course, Lin Chen knew that Jiang Shaoxu's talent points were misplaced. He would definitely max out her Charm!
"A rank seven Soul Power talent is already very good!" Lin Chen said. With rank seven Soul Power, Titled Douluo was within reach. Given the difficulty of Spirit cultivation in the Full Magic World, Ai Jiangtu's future would definitely be that of a Super-Tier Douluo above rank ninety-five. Putting everything else aside, as long as he could endure loneliness and didn't seek trouble, he could live for hundreds of years with his eyes closed.
The Ai family's Spirit was also not simple. How could an ordinary crystal ball give him rank seven Soul Power?
Ai Jiangtu didn't want to say more, and Lin Chen didn't press him. A Spirit was inherently a secret for each person, and besides, this wasn't the place to talk.
"Indeed, my younger sister's Soul Power is only rank five!" Ai Jiangtu said.
Lin Chen asked, "Are you talking about Ai Tutu?"
Ai Jiangtu nodded and said, "Yes, I know you two know each other. She always mentions you when she comes home!"
Lin Chen's mouth twitched and he said, "She definitely didn't say anything good about me!"
Ai Jiangtu laughed loudly, "It's alright, it's alright..."
Lin Chen chuckled, but then saw Mu Ningxue and Jiang Shaoxu beside him looking like they wanted to kill him, so he reined in his smile.
After Ai Jiangtu left, Jiang Shaoxu asked, "Confess honestly, what's your relationship with little Tutu?"
While Jiang Shaoxu was interrogating him, Mu Ningxue also stared intently at Lin Chen.
"You two are overthinking it. She's just a normal classmate. Xue'er might not understand, but don't you? Ai Tutu's carefree personality is simply not my type!" Lin Chen said seriously.
"Really?" Jiang Shaoxu asked suspiciously.
Before Lin Chen could answer, Mu Ningxue spoke first, "I believe him. Although this scoundrel is a bit of a jerk, he's a straightforward one. Even if he doesn't confess proactively, he always tells the truth whenever I ask him!"
Hearing this, Jiang Shaoxu nodded gently. Thinking about it carefully, it was true. Lin Chen was a jerk with no pretense whatsoever, simply the best among jerks!
Lin Chen said with a grin, "Xue'er understands me best!"
...
After passing through the An Boundary, they soon saw some inexplicable scattered reefs in the ocean. These reefs were nothing more than exposed stones, weathered by sun and wind for who knows how many years, already smoothed by erosion.
In fact, such reefs shouldn't exist, as they could easily cause cargo ships to run aground. But perhaps due to economic depression, no one had cleared these obstacles for a long time.
"These reefs are called bamboo shoot reefs. I didn't expect there to be so many here!" The top student Jiang Yu began his analysis again!
Most people weren't interested in Jiang Yu's analysis; only Mo Fan continued to converse with Jiang Yu.
After sailing for a long time, Liu Meng in the cockpit urgently told the pilot, "Go around, go around the front, there are many conical bamboo shoot reefs there!"
"Where? Our detector isn't showing anything!" The pilot in the white uniform said.
"Listen to me, hurry up and go around!" Liu Meng was getting anxious, his voice growing rougher.
The pilot, half-believing, turned the rudder, steering the ship around that area of the sea ahead!
