Just as Chu Chen lost consciousness, the Slaughter Atlas suddenly appeared above his Soul Sea.
The Slaughter Atlas rotated slightly, emitting a dazzling golden radiance. It shone like the blazing sun over the entire Soul Sea, even suppressing the restless Soul Seal nearby into stillness.
At this mont, the golden radiance enveloped Chu Chen’s entire body, and the Elixir Pills in his stomach, yet to be refined, were rapidly absorbed by him under the effect of the golden radiance.
In just a mont, the Soul Power in Chu Chen’s Soul Sea recovered by twenty percent.
The Soul Seal trembled continuously, as if it had discovered a delicacy, trying to break free from the confinent of the golden radiance.
At this mont, the golden radiance suddenly dimd, as if the waters of a hundred rivers flowed backward, rushing towards the Slaughter Atlas.
The golden radiance subsided, and the Slaughter Atlas once again hid within the Soul Sea, disappearing as if it had never appeared.
Freed from its constraints, the Soul Seal seed to let out a joyful hum, and an astonishing suction erupted once more, with the Soul Power flowing like a stream towards the Soul Seal.
As the Soul Power continuously poured in, the Soul Seal emitted bursts of white radiance, akin to fireflies.
A mont later, the suction emanating from the Soul Seal completely vanished. It hung quietly above the Soul Sea, as if it were a child fully sated, descending into tranquility.
At this ti, only a shallow layer of Soul Power remained in Chu Chen’s Soul Sea, nearly drained again.
The next day, Chu Chen awoke with a start. He sat up, rubbing his slightly throbbing temples, with a trace of pain on his face.
A mont later, as if rembering sothing, he hurriedly entered ditation to inspect the changes in the Soul Sea.
Looking at the Soul Seal quietly floating above the Soul Sea, Chu Chen couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
According to the records in the book, the state of the Soul Seal at this mont indicated that it had successfully condensed.
At this mont, only half of the Soul Power in the Soul Sea had recovered. Recalling the events of the night before, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of fear.
After the successful condensation of a Soul Seal, it would absorb a vast amount of Soul Power to stabilize itself. Chu Chen had only aid to condense the Soul Seal the previous day, neglecting this fact. Luckily, he had consud a Star Power Pill before fainting. Without the supply of Star Power, the Soul Seal would have completely collapsed, leading to backlash, and his soul would have suffered injuries.
Without the appropriate Elixir Pills for treatnt, it would take at least three months to recover. During that ti, even with the Slaughter Atlas, his cultivation progress would lag far behind his peers.
Chu Chen exited ditation and then circulated his Soul Power to summon forth the Soul Seal.
Looking at the Soul Seal floating in front of him, Chu Chen couldn’t help but smile. The Soul Seal was about the size of a palm, with a transparent base color, and on it was a mysterious rune ford by a condensed Soul Line.
Chu Chen attempted to inject Soul Power into it, and the Soul Seal instantly shone with white radiance.
As Soul Power was injected, the white radiance grew increasingly intense. It wasn’t until Chu Chen injected ten percent of his Soul Power that the Soul Seal reached saturation.
Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brow; the Soul Power consumption of deploying Stone Skin exceeded his expectations. Even at full capacity, he could only deploy it ten tis at most.
According to the book, the duration of the Stone Skin Soul Seal was one minute, aning that even if he exhausted his Soul Power, he could only endow a Guardian Beast with ten minutes of support.
However, as his Realm continued to improve, the number of tis he could deploy it would also increase.
Chu Chen took out his phone and recorded the Soul Seal in front of him, then sent the video to Liu Qing.
A mont later, a notification sounded from his phone.
Hearing the sound, Chu Chen quickly took out his phone to check.
"Chu Chen, you are the first in the class to successfully condense a Soul Seal. Rember to co to the office on Monday to collect a Star Power Pill. You can try to inscribe the Light Body Soul Seal and the Giant Power Soul Seal. If you manage to inscribe these two Soul Seals by next week, I’ll reward you with another bottle of Star Power Pills."
Seeing the ssage on his phone, Chu Chen couldn’t help but show a hint of joy.
He thought, "Teacher Liu is really generous; he just gives away Star Power Pills. It seems the competition won’t be ending anyti soon."
After arranging with Liu Qing, Chu Chen eagerly took out the Soul Skills book to examine the information about the two Soul Seals.
A mont later, Chu Chen closed the book, looking a bit grim.
The Stone Skin Soul Seal only required ten Soul Lines to complete the condensation, while the Light Body Soul Seal required thirteen Soul Lines, and the most outrageous one, the Giant Power Soul Seal, required fifteen Soul Lines, reaching the Yellow Rank Middle Grade.
However, the amplification effect of the Giant Power Soul Seal could reach thirty percent.
To complete the agreent with Liu Qing within a week, the primary condition was that he had to break through to the Sixth Rank Soul Pupil first.
Although the two Soul Seals only required three to five more Soul Lines than the Stone Skin Soul Seal, the difficulty of condensing an additional Soul Line after ten was equivalent to the total difficulty of condensing several Soul Lines before.
Therefore, he couldn’t slack off on practicing control over Soul Power, as this was the fundantal factor determining success in condensing a Soul Seal.
Chu Chen collected his thoughts, had a simple breakfast, and headed towards the Thunder Daoist School.
Today was Saturday, and he needed to adjust his work schedule.
Half an hour later, in the changing room of the Thunder Daoist School.
"Fang Tao, I heard that the new students were all snatched away by that poor student nad Chu Chen, so you might have to tighten your belt for a while," a thin middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Hmph, he’s just a newbie. I heard he’s planning to participate in the exchange match at the end of the month. I’ll make sure to teach him a lesson then," Fang Tao said with a gloomy expression.
The thin man chuckled at his words, "He’s considered a little prodigy with Upper Grade Yellow Rank cultivation talent in our Celestial Star City. Aren’t you afraid he’ll grow up to take revenge?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Tao’s expression turned sour, and after a mont of contemplation, he coldly said, "As long as I defeat him, the new students will choose as their sparring partner. Then, even if he has so cultivation talent, so what? A prodigy who can’t grow up is nothing to fear." He couldn’t help but laugh at this point.
The thin man laughed along with him.
Both of them were employees of the Thunder Daoist School, responsible for sparring. They had similar fates, having compromised with life due to poor cultivation talent and average family backgrounds.
As the two left the changing room, they happened to encounter Chu Chen.
Seeing them, Chu Chen hurriedly greeted them, "Morning, Brother Fang, Brother Li."
Fang Tao did not respond but rely cast a cold glance at Chu Chen before striding away.
Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn’t help but frown. In his impression, he had never offended this person, so he was puzzled by the other’s attitude.
Li Jun imdiately said, "Xiaochu, Fang Tao is in a bad mood lately; don’t take it to heart."
Li Jun was the sa thin man who had spoken with Fang Tao earlier.
Chu Chen replied with a smile, "It’s fine, everyone has bad days."
Li Jun nodded with a smile, although he cast a aningful glance at Chu Chen before heading after Fang Tao.
Watching the two leave, Chu Chen seed to have realized sothing and then shook his head helplessly.
He had experienced a lot in both his lifetis, and from their recent actions, he easily understood the reason.
After spending so much ti with classmates who had clear and pure eyes, he had beco a bit dull himself.
If it were in his previous life, he would have realized sooner that the capacity of the Thunder Daoist School was fixed, and the number of students it could accommodate was also limited.
Becoming a sparring partner ant taking soone else’s opportunity.
But that’s just life. In his previous life, he had encountered this kind of situation countless tis. The only difference was that before, it was about performance, and now it’s about strength.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, he had to rely on strength; once he defeated his opponent, they wouldn’t dare provoke him again. Furthermore, he had a very poor impression of Fang Tao.
Chu Chen frequently saw Fang Tao’s rough treatnt of his Guardian Beast, yelling and hitting, venting all his negative emotions on it. Guardian Beasts were supposed to be the most loyal partners of a Beast Master, even willing to sacrifice their lives to protect their masters in critical monts. This behavior showed Fang Tao to be a dark-hearted person.
