Chapter 4: Tang Hao Goes Mad, Extreme Physical Body Strengthening via Life Aura!
Seeing the sky gradually brighten, Chu Chen left this place and headed towards Emperor Soul Village, facing the rising sun.
Now that the Blue Silver Grass Bloodline was activated, he also possessed the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline; the evolution of the Blue Silver Grass was inevitable!
"Now, it's time to prepare for the first Soul Ring."
After returning to the village, Chu Chen resumed his previous peaceful life. During the days waiting for enrollment at the Soul Master academy, he had to strengthen his Physical Body's power as much as possible.
The stronger the Physical Body, the higher the age of the Soul Ring he could withstand. For him, who possessed the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, this was the simplest of cultivation.
He came to a dense forest, then circulated his Soul Power, and a burst of blue-gold light rippled from his hand.
The Blue Silver Grass swayed with the wind and appeared in his hand.
Influenced by this power, sprigs of Blue Silver Grass began to grow from the surrounding soil, and the already existing Blue Silver Grass became even more robust!
"When these Blue Silver Grass gather together, they can actually form a special Life Field... but the source is still this one in my hand."
"By absorbing and transforming this life force through the Blue Silver Grass and merging it into my Physical Body, it converts into blood qi. When the blood qi is surging to the extreme, it's enough to achieve the effect of increasing physical strength."
Under Chu Chen's control, the Blue Silver Grass in his hand bloomed with golden natural patterns, sending out ripple-like aura fluctuations.
For a time, the surrounding life force surged, and plants grew wildly...
Meanwhile.
Outside the waterfall behind Holy Soul Village, Tang Hao walked here slowly.
He still held a jug of wine in his hand, his whole body reeking of alcohol, disheveled and unkempt, looking like a dying beggar.
He took a step out and leaped into the air, his mouth still seemingly muttering something: "Ah Yin... I'm sorry, I'm a useless father..."
"Little San awakened a one-in-a-ten-thousand twin Martial Soul—your Blue Silver Grass and my Clear Sky Hammer... I really want him to become a powerful Soul Master, yet I don't. You... should be as conflicted as I am."
Tang Hao passed through the water curtain and walked into the cave.
"Ah Yin, if you were still alive, you would definitely be very happy to see Little San..."
If Chu Chen were here now, he would definitely not be able to resist complaining: "If Ah Yin were alive, she'd be pissed to death by you. Is this how the hell you raise a kid?"
Tang Hao walked to where the Blue Silver Emperor was originally planted. He froze for a moment, doubting if he was dazed from drinking. Then he rubbed his eyes, and upon seeing that the Blue Silver Emperor was gone, a flash of crimson suddenly surged in his eyes.
"No... Ah Yin!"
Tang Hao immediately rummaged through the soil, hoping to find Ah Yin's figure, but in the end, he only saw a chrysanthemum petal...
"A chrysanthemum petal..."
Tang Hao's voice was hoarse. He immediately stood up to check the location of the Soul Bone. As expected, it was empty!
"Ah!" Tang Hao let out a loud roar, his aura vibrating so much that it almost shattered the entire cave.
"Impossible! Impossible! How could Ah Yin be taken away? Who was it..." Tang Hao looked around like a madman, seemingly trying to find some clues.
But in the end, he still locked onto that chrysanthemum petal...
"Chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum Douluo... Spirit Hall!"
Just as Chu Chen said, in such a state of madness, a person cannot think rationally. Therefore, Tang Hao didn't think twice: could a petal from the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum be the same as an ordinary chrysanthemum petal?
But Tang Hao couldn't think that much.
His grudge with Spirit Hall was already deep. If Spirit Hall discovered the traces of the Blue Silver Emperor and took it away, it would be perfectly logical!
"Spirit Hall! I, Tang Hao, will destroy you!!"
...
Half a month passed quietly.
With only three days left before reporting to the nearest Notting Academy, Chu Chen's day-after-day boring life was finally about to undergo a change!
Around a waterfall near Emperor Soul Village, dense Blue Silver Grass was growing at this moment, swaying in the wind, with life aura flowing toward the source...
Chu Chen sat cross-legged under the waterfall with his upper body bare.
Looking closely, faint golden blood qi was actually circulating around his body, blooming with extraordinary vitality.
He was only six years old now, yet his physique already rivaled that of an ordinary ten-year-old boy. Under such tempering, all aspects of his qualities were rapidly improving!
"It's about time. Let's try to condense the life force of the Blue Silver Grass!"
Chu Chen opened his eyes. Even though the rapid current kept hitting his body, it didn't cause his figure to shift even a little bit.
The Blue Silver Grass in his hand radiated light, and all the Blue Silver Grass within a fifty-meter radius seemed to receive a summons, bowing toward Chu Chen's direction!
The next moment, endless life force began to gather in Chu Chen's hand!
Blue-gold light bloomed in his hand.
When life force becomes concentrated to the extreme, it's no longer a specific attribute but an attack that can be released by circulating Soul Power.
"Boom!"
The blue-gold light blasted out, directly cutting off the flow of the massive waterfall. The mountain rocks vibrated, covered in cracks.
"As expected!" Chu Chen said joyfully.
His idea was correct. By relying on the transformation of life force, he could indeed use such an attack skill.
And it could also strengthen himself in a short time.
"After I obtain a Soul Ring, I'll refine this ability thoroughly. Perhaps it can become my own self-created Soul Skill."
Chu Chen was in a great mood, so he controlled the Blue Silver Grass in his hand to quickly pierce through space, extending to a distance of nearly twenty meters, precisely using Binding on a distant large tree.
With the help of this power, Chu Chen leaped up and landed steadily on the shore.
Clearly, as a plant Martial Soul itself, the Blue Silver Grass had great plasticity. Abandoning its strongest life attribute to absorb a snake-type Soul Ring to give it the Binding attribute...
Was simply the act of a Divine Being—if that's a human, I'll eat my hat!
Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Chen put on his clothes and returned to the village. For the remaining three days, he wanted to let himself relax.
"After enrolling, it'll be about time to go obtain the first Soul Ring. With the special resonance of the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline... I should be able to sense something."
After returning home, he saw that Village Chief Tutu happened to come over; he had prepared some things for Chu Chen.
"Chu Chen, this is some travel money and dry rations for the road that Grandpa, as well as your aunts and uncles, prepared for you."
Village Chief Tutu handed a delicate cloth bag to Chu Chen.
Feeling the heavy bag, Chu Chen's heart warmed, and he said to the village chief, "Grandpa Village Chief, thank you all."
"You silly child, why thank us? As long as you become a powerful Soul Master, a Soul Emperor, a Soul Saint! When that time comes, you must come back and change our village's name."
Village Chief Tutu said with a smile. What was in the bag was the goodwill of these simple people. Perhaps Chu Chen wouldn't need it, but it was incredibly heavy and precious, worth treasuring forever.
