In reality, just as Ning Chuan had anticipated, that very night, Tang Ritian went to the underground casino and first questioned them about who had ordered them to frame his son. When his questioning proved fruitless, he proceeded to murder everyone in the underground casino, including Dao Ge. It wasn't
until the following morning that gamblers discovered
the situation and spread the news. Yu Xiaogang, who was in the downtown area stocking up on rations before heading to Wuhun City, breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the underground casino had been destroyed, he no longer had to make the trip.
The loan crisis was over.
Peace returned to Notting City.
Ning Chuan wasn't someone who had nothing to do but stir up trouble. His previous actions, aside from the time he'd tricked Yu Xiaogang, had been incidental to solving his own problems.
Now that he had everything he needed, he naturally didn't waste time cultivating.
Thus, Ning Chuan began to live a fulfilling life.
Every morning, he would rise and train vigorously. He would attend classes as usual in the morning, using his spare time to meditate and improve his spirit power. In the afternoon, he would meet Louise in the grove behind the academy for swordplay and combat training. In the evening, he would read, and at night, he would meditate and improve his spirit power. Although the combination of academic studies and swordplay meant he had less time to meditate and improve his spirit power than in Emperor Soul Village, each day was incredibly fulfilling.
This, however, also gave Tang Ritian, the power bank, a break.
Otherwise, if Ning Chuan had continued his relentless pursuit, he would have died in a few years.
Under Louise's guidance, Ning Chuan quickly mastered her swordsmanship, surpassing even her master. Of course, despite coming from a family of sword-wielding spirit masters, her skills were modest, relying more on spirit skills. So, he eventually sought out other teachers for combat lessons.
During this time, Xiao Wu also tried to spar with him, but each time, she either couldn't find Ning Chuan or was stood up.
Before he knew it, a whole school year had passed.
Ning Chuan's soul power finally reached level ten after daily diligent practice.
"Xiao Chuan, you're truly a genius. You've reached level ten so quickly! Even if those two innately full soul power people from the academy were to come and practice, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to match you,"
Louise exclaimed in admiration, cradling Ning Chuan's fair, tender, and bouncy face.
Ever since she accepted him as her disciple, Louise had been calling him that.
Although Ning Chuan didn't like the name,
it reminded him of someone disgusting.
Feeling the fragrance and softness of Louise's body, Ning Chuan's cheeks flushed. "Teacher, you should just call me Ning Chuan, or Xiao Liuzi, that's fine too. Everyone in our village calls me that."
"You're shy, you're shy. Our Xiao Chuan Chuan is shy." Upon hearing this, Louise rubbed Ning Chuan's face, becoming even more enthusiastic.
After a long pause, she finally let Ning Chuan go and said seriously, "Xiao Chuan, have you decided on a spirit ring for your first martial spirit?"
Ning Chuan replied without hesitation, "I've been thinking about this for a long time. Although my martial spirit is a sword, it contains wood attributes, so I'm looking for some plant-type spirit beasts." So far, he hadn't found any lightning attribute on the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, let alone the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder that could counter evil magic.
Furthermore, the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder itself possessed powerful destructive power and explosive effects.
If he could obtain this, it would be a powerful weapon against those possessing evil-attributed martial spirits, spirit skills, or spirit bone skills.

It's a natural counter to the God of Death Realm, a realm no different from demonic arts.
"Can you tell me why?" Louise asked, somewhat surprised.
"Over the past year, I've read countless books given by my teacher and researched the academy library. I've discovered that the improvement of a martial soul is essentially a process of increasing energy. Absorbing energy of the same nature as one's own martial soul will inevitably promote its evolution. Conversely, it's more likely to cause spirit ring rejection. For example, if a plant-type martial soul absorbs an animal-type spirit ring, it will cause spirit ring rejection. This is also why plant-type spirit masters have rarely absorbed animal-type spirit rings since ancient times."
Ning Chuan spoke intermittently, unloading theories he'd read in the books of the old thief Qingjiao in his previous life.
All of this was done to convince Louise to let him absorb a spirit ring of a higher age. As for spirit ring rejection, his god-level side effect system allowed him to ignore any side effects.
By the time Ning Chuan finished, Louise was already stunned.
Ning Chuan: "What's wrong, Teacher?"
"Nothing, just as you say."
Louise shook her head. Suddenly, she realized she had truly received a remarkable disciple. Not only had he surpassed her in swordsmanship in a short period of time, but his spirit master theory was also ingenious. Compared to her disciple, Yu Xiaoan, that idiotic master who had forced his disciples to borrow money at high interest rates, was a far cry from him. The only thing
she could do to help him now was to help him hunt for spirit rings.
Ning Chuan: "Okay, Teacher. When do we leave?"
Louise: "Although the academy's annual spirit ring hunt is just a few days away, it's better to leave sooner rather than later. We'll leave tomorrow morning, but we still need to report to the Dean."
A moment later, the two arrived at the Dean's office. Yu Xiaoan was also there, seemingly chatting over tea with Dean Geno. Of course, Yu Xiaoan kept mentioning Tang San, indirectly touting his own theories.
"Director Louise, what can I do for you?"
Geno asked.
Louise glanced at Yu Xiaogang with distaste and said sternly, "Dean, my disciple Ning Chuan has already broken through to level ten. I plan to take him to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain his first spirit ring."
"So soon? Director Louise, it seems you've found a good disciple."
Geno knew that Louise had taken Ning Chuan as her disciple. Not only did he know, but the entire academy knew too. What many people didn't understand was that, before he was thirty, he already possessed level thirty-seven spirit power. Why would Louise, with such a bright future, take someone with only half a level of innate spirit power as her disciple?
Even if Ning Chuan worked hard, hard work couldn't make up for the difference in talent.
Now, Ning Chuan had reached level ten in just one academic year, enough to silence everyone.
Yu Xiaogang cast a curious glance at her.
"He's all due to his own hard work. Okay, Dean, if there's nothing else, we'll be leaving. Xiao Chuan, let's go."
With Yu Xiaogang still here, Louise didn't want to stay long. She said hello to the dean and left with Ning Chuan.
After Louise left, Yu Xiaogang frowned and said, "Dean, I remember that child seemed to have only reached half a level of innate soul power. How did he reach level ten in such a short time?"
