Chapter 29: The importance of keeping a low profile
After returning to the town outside the Soul Hunting Forest, night had fallen.
The two of them did not rush back overnight. They stayed in the town for one night and took a carriage back to Notting City early the next morning.
The road of four hundred miles is neither long nor short.
In the previous life, it would only have been a few hours' drive at most, but in Douluo Continent, where transportation is not developed, the two of them took a carriage ride for an entire day and morning before returning to Notting City.
"We're back~!"
As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Chu Chengzhou shouted inside.
"Xiao Chu, have you finally advanced to the level of soul master?"
Soon, Xiao Wu, who heard the commotion, ran out of the living room and greeted him.
The word 'finally' was used appropriately, but Chu Chengzhou didn't like it.
"I don't care about you~"
After giving Xiao Wu a blank look, Chu Chengzhou entered the living room on his own.
Nothing more, he was struck.
It is true that he has now become a first-level soul master, but compared to Xiao Wu, he is still not good enough.
Xiao Wu's cultivation talent is equivalent to innate full soul power, and her cultivation speed is already very fast. In addition, she also learned the purple level meditation method last year, and her upgrade speed has become even faster.
Two years ago, when Xiao Wu first came to Notting College, she was only a level 12 soul master. When she graduated, she was only a level 15.
But now Xiao Wu has become a second-level soul master some time ago.
As for Xiao Wu's second soul ring? This little rabbit was also a liar without blushing, saying that her distant relatives came to Notting City and took her to get the second soul ring.
However, Chu Chengzhou knew that Xiao Wu's soul ring was secretly gathered by her, and he didn't reveal it.
And because Xiao Wu also practiced yellow-level body-refining skills, although the second soul ring she condensed by herself did not reach the purple thousand-year mark, it was still over 900 years old, with a hint of purple in the deep yellow color.
"Hey~, Xiao Chu. No, brother, don't leave! We are all soul masters, let's compete!"
Seeing Chu Chengzhou ignoring her, Xiao Wu hurriedly chased after him.
Previously, Chu Chengzhou thought he was successful in body training, so he planned to accumulate some practical experience and compete with Xiao Wu. For the sake of fairness, he also prohibited Xiao Wu from using soul skills.
It's a pity that the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny. Even if she doesn't use soul skills, Xiao Wu can still defeat him.
It is true that he practiced body training skills earlier than Xiao Wu, but Xiao Wu has the advantage of soul power level, and the first century soul ring has a great bonus to Xiao Wu's physical fitness. In addition, Xiao Wu has rich combat experience and superb skills. , he belongs to the existence that was unilaterally beaten.
Having had the experience of being hung and beaten once, Chu Chengzhou naturally had no follow-up.
After all, if you are just beaten unilaterally, how can you accumulate a lot of practical experience?
I'm afraid it will be less painful if you accumulate experience of being beaten and know how to respond to the beating, right? !
Chu Chengzhou unilaterally canceled the competition plan, and Xiao Wu immediately quit. She still wanted to bully her brother openly!
But since he was his brother in name only, Xiao Wu couldn't take the initiative to beat him up, so he could only encourage Chu Chengzhou to spar with her from time to time.
"Go, go, go, you Pipi rabbit, where can you stay to cool down~"
Chu Chengzhou said with a look of genius will spar with you! "Huh? Who do you think is Pippi Rabbit?"
Suddenly, Xiao Wu became furious.
As the eldest sister of the rabbit tribe, Xiao Wu naturally knew her distant relatives.
Pipi Rabbit can be said to be the most naughty among the rabbit spirit beasts on the mainland. They love to play tricks on spirit beasts that are weaker than them in the forest.
"I'm not a rabbit, and you're not a Pipi rabbit, so who is still a Pipi rabbit?"
"Chu Chengzhou, I think your skin is itchy!"
In a rage, Xiao Wu rushed towards Chu Chengzhou.
Looking at the two people fighting, Sunan walked into the living room and shook his head speechlessly.
In the bedroom, Chu Chengzhou clicked on the properties panel and prepared to adjust his idle plan.
Among the two current hang-up slots, one is a yellow-level body-training skill that has been recently hung up, and the other is a purple-level meditation skill that has just passed 40% of the upgrade progress.
Now that he has obtained the first soul ring, Chu Chengzhou naturally plans to increase the age of the first soul ring.
It doesn't need to be very high, just temporarily raise it to Purple Millennium.
The idle efficiency of a soul ring is increased by 10 years in one day. The first soul ring in 652 years can be upgraded to a thousand-year soul ring after being idle for more than a month.
But the question also arises, can a small one-ring soul master possess a purple thousand-year soul ring? The unsophisticated soul masters call it impossible, while the soul masters who are short of money and have some knowledge will probably be so greedy that their mouths will drool.
According to the optimal soul ring ratio, a first-ring soul master can only have a soul ring that is about 400 years old at most. Your first soul ring is a purple thousand-year soul ring. This is definitely a refining soul bone!
Soul bones are valuable objects. Even the most common hundred-year or thousand-year soul bones are worth millions if measured in gold soul coins.
Isn't this a walking million gold soul coin?And the kind that has no power to resist? I didn’t say anything, just blast him! If Chu Chengzhou had a title-level eldest father who could defeat the Pope of Wuhun Palace, the first soul ring in a thousand years would be nothing. No matter how greedy others were, they would not dare to make any crooked ideas.
But unfortunately, his biggest supporter is his fourth-ring soul sect-level grandfather. He has no power and power, and is not worthy of possessing the first soul ring in a thousand years.
Of course, he still had two backers, namely Xiao Wu's younger brothers, Da Ming and Er Ming.
The strength of these two brothers is so strong that they are no match for a titled Douluo. But the problem is that the two brothers are 10-year-old soul beasts. They have backers, but they cannot use them.
It can be said that what Chu Chengzhou faces is either not to cheat the soul ring and wait until he has the power to protect himself in the future, or to tinker with his own soul skills that can change the color of the soul ring.
If there was no AFK bar, Chu Chengzhou would naturally not have such a beautiful idea. After all, creating his own soul skills is a matter of course, and he might not be able to come up with it in his lifetime.
But if it can be cheated, it doesn’t seem impossible?
The soul master's soul ring relies on the martial soul to exist and is considered a part of the soul master's own power.
If one could control one's own power to a certain extent or perfectly, wouldn't it be possible to change the color of the soul ring, or to use soul skills without revealing the soul ring? In addition, learning to control one's own power is also a must for every strong person. This does not conflict with his future growth path.
Of course, if he couldn't develop this kind of self-created soul skill, he would have no choice but to live in it. The first soul ring could only stop at 900 years ago for the time being.
It doesn't matter if the color of the soul ring is darker. It will take several years for him to leave the novice village of Notting City. By then, he should be able to deal with ordinary small characters, and the powerful ones will probably look down on the weaklings that don't actually exist in his body. Soul bone.
After all, if you can't even get a thousand-year soul ring, how much older can the soul bone be?
As long as the soul ring does not have purple meaning, or it directly turns purple for a thousand years, it is basically no problem.
