NOVEL NEXT Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Mu Chen: It's Too Hard for Me!
"50,000-year limit?"
"50,000-year limit?"
"50,000-year limit?"
Everyone around was left speechless, staring at Mu Chen.
As the former dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong had a special bond with Jiangzhu, and she asked, "Mu Chen, are you sure? Giving Jiangzhu a 50,000-year spirit ring for her fourth spirit ring?"
Not only Liu Erlong, but also Flender, Zhao Wuji, Tang San, and others found it a crazy and risky idea.
Mu Chen nodded confidently, still looking at Jiangzhu, whose eyes were filled with shock. He said, "Jiangzhu's body has been tempered by the Fire Immortal Lotus and Eight Petal Immortal Herb, and nourished by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Her physical strength is beyond that of an ordinary level 40 soul master. If she were to absorb a 10,000-year spirit ring like Xiao San, Rongrong, or Zhuqing, she might not gain an external spirit bone."
To acquire an external spirit bone, the absorbed spirit ring must exceed the soul master's absorption limit. The excess energy from the spirit ring then forms the external spirit bone for the soul master.
Flender, Liu Erlong, and others nodded, knowing well about this as soul masters. The earlier one obtains an external spirit bone, the better.
However, absorbing a 50,000-year spirit ring as a soul master's fourth spirit ring was unheard of and highly risky.
Mu Chen continued to watch Jiangzhu and asked, "Are you afraid? If you are, it's okay to leave it."
Jiangzhu froze. She looked up at Mu Chen, who was five years younger than her, yet their cultivation levels were worlds apart.
With that thought in mind, Jiangzhu glanced at her companions, clenched her hands, and said resolutely, "I'm not afraid."
"If you're not afraid, then go to your room and absorb the energy of this core! I'll handle the rest of the preliminary matches alone," Mu Chen instructed.
"Yes."
Jiangzhu nodded, tightly clutching the core in her hand. Once she absorbed the energy, she too would become a monster.
Just as Jiangzhu took a few steps, she seemed to remember something. She turned back to Mu Chen, blushing and looking down, unable to meet his eyes, and said, "You gave me three birthday gifts, and I haven't even thanked you!"
Mu Chen chuckled, "I'm the Tang Sect master, you're part of the Tang Sect, giving you something is just... just..."
Mu Chen paused, stunned.
Jiangzhu suddenly kissed him on the cheek, then turned and left.
Mu Chen touched his cheek, watching Jiangzhu's departing figure, muttering, "Is it normal?"
"Normal."
Flender laughed, "Yes, quite normal!"
Zhao Wuji also laughed, "Yes, receiving a kiss for a gift is very normal."
Uh!
Mu Chen was taken aback, glaring at Flender and Zhao Wuji, who were trying to suppress their laughter.
"I wish my birthday would come soon!" Princess Xue Ke said enviously.
"Me too," Meng Yiran agreed.
Even the usually quiet Zhu Zhuqing looked at Mu Chen, intrigued.
"Do you want him to give you a gift, or do you just want an excuse to kiss him?" Flender teased.
Uh!
Uh!
Uh!
Princess Xue Ke, Meng Yiran, and Zhu Zhuqing were momentarily stunned. They glanced at Mu Chen, who was also looking at them, and their cheeks turned red.
Soul Power +100,000
Thanks to Jiangzhu's heartfelt gratitude, Mu Chen gained another 100,000 soul power points.
"Rongrong, do you have a moment?" Mu Chen asked.
"I do," Ning Rongrong replied excitedly.
"If so, go tell Jiangzhu that I've agreed to her request. For the sake of the Tang Sect, I'll reluctantly train her. As a healing soul master, only reaching the second level of Dark Force with Bagua Collapse is unacceptable!" Mu Chen said casually.
"Ah? That's it?" Ning Rongrong asked, a bit disappointed.
"What else? Did you think I'd invite you for a stroll? For you all, I handle battles during the day and train with you at night. Ah, it's too hard for me!" Mu Chen sighed, smirking mischievously.
Perhaps Mu Chen hadn't realized that after training Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Tang Yuehua, and Princess Xue Ke, he had come to enjoy guiding and training young women, especially the beautiful ones.
**Great Spirit Arena**
"Hello everyone."
Host Dou Dou flapped her wings, flying above the stage with a microphone, "I'm your good friend Dou Dou. In the fourth match of the thirteenth round of preliminaries, Shrek Academy faces Tianshui Academy. Let's welcome the contestants!"
Under the spotlight, Mu Chen and Tianshui Academy's seven contestants walked onto the stage.
All seven contestants from Tianshui Academy were women, moving with grace and elegance, captivating everyone's attention.
The leading woman was likely their captain, Shui Bing'er.
Shui Bing'er stood around 1.65 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure, neither overly voluptuous nor overly slim. Her long aqua-blue hair draped over her back, her fair face adorned with delicate features. Initially not striking, her beauty became apparent upon closer inspection, a beauty that was subtle and intriguing.
Seeing Mu Chen alone on stage, Shui Bing'er wasn't surprised. Perhaps it wasn't unusual for Shrek Academy to fight one against seven. If Shrek Academy sent a full team, that would be the anomaly.
"Mm-hmm!"
Shui Bing'er smiled lightly, her voice like a gentle deer, touching everyone's hearts. Her soft voice could melt any man's heart.
An enchantress!
That was Mu Chen's first impression of Shui Bing'er.
Having read the *Battle Through the Heavens* novel, Mu Chen had doubted the exaggerated gentleness of the tutor Ruolin in that world. Facing Shui Bing'er now, Mu Chen changed his view on women. Women could be as cute as Xiao Wu, as elegant as Tang Yuehua, and as gentle as water.
"Mu Chen, it's a pleasure to finally meet you in battle!" Shui Bing'er said with a sweet smile, devoid of any malice.
Unlike Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er had seen Mu Chen's previous matches. His strength didn't feel like a challenge to her but rather an honor.
"To battle someone with an exceptional ice attribute beast martial spirit is my honor," Mu Chen replied with a polite smile.
