Meng Hongchen looked at Xiao Hongchen, who looked ready to rush up and have a big fight with Su Yu, and chuckled quietly.
"Xiao, you're actually shameless enough to challenge a freshman."
"Hmph, I'm only thirteen too!"
"But he's only twelve years old, oh."
"Isn't he already a Soul Venerable?"
"But you're a Soul Sect, eh~"
"Then, Meng, you're the same age as him, but our strength is similar, so if I fight him, it shouldn't be bullying the younger ones."
Meng Hongchen had a newfound understanding of her brother's thick skin.
So adorable when her brother gets his tail stepped on.
Hahaha.
...
Su Yu didn't know about the commotion caused by his advancement to a second-level Soul Guide in just two months.
But he could guess it roughly.
After all, breaking records like this is destined to go down in history—how could it not cause a stir?
Especially in the Sun and Moon Empire, where Soul Guides are supreme.
However, none of this mattered to him.
For Su Yu, cultivation was the most important thing.
Purple Qi, combined with the Soul Condensation Technique, was refined by Su Yu into the Purple Qi Soul Condensation Technique.
"The runes sketched by the Purple Qi Soul Condensation Technique are almost complete, and the spiritual power has more than doubled compared to a month ago."
In Su Yu's Sea of Spirit, a nearly complete rune floated, with a purple hazy glow illuminating the entire Sea of Spirit.
Within the rune, spiritual power flowed, continually purifying Su Yu's spiritual power.
"The effect of the Condensing Rune is quite good."
Su Yu was very satisfied with the effects of the Soul Condensation Technique.
"Next, develop the Soul Gathering Technique."
Su Yu had explored the cultivation method of spiritual power for a long time, but he only truly developed it about a month ago.
Ellex's help was significant in this process.
Ellex didn't do much.
But his entry helped Su Yu open up his Sea of Spirit early, enabling him to directly use spiritual power, making his research more direct and greatly accelerating progress.
Even the research on Purple Qi didn't start just a month ago, but the first attempt was made a month ago after Su Yu opened his Sea of Spirit.
During the month of cultivating the Soul Condensation Technique, Su Yu was also summarizing a new soul cultivation method.
Which is the Soul Gathering Technique, now just missing the last little bit.
[You summarize the spiritual power circulation patterns and develop the Soul Gathering Technique]
[You combine Purple Qi with the Soul Gathering Technique to develop the Purple Qi Soul Gathering Technique]
As night passed, Su Yu came to the balcony, staring at the pale light on the horizon.
Purple Qi entered the Sea of Spirit, providing the final stroke for his Condensing Rune.
With the completion of the Condensing Rune, Su Yu felt the effect of the rune had increased by as much as two times!
The difference in effect between an incomplete rune and a complete rune, where all the lines perfectly close off, is not just a little bit.
Along with the enhancement of the Condensing Rune's effect was another surge in Su Yu's spiritual power.
Within the Condensing Rune, as the rune was complete, it formed a complete circuit, and the last streak of Purple Qi was actually preserved.
The Purple Qi circulated endlessly, causing Su Yu's spiritual power to soar rapidly.
This time, he cultivated for a full hour before feeling his spiritual power growth had reached its limit.
"Improved by another third."
Su Yu looked at the increasingly vast tiny puddle in his Sea of Spirit, feeling a strong sense of accomplishment.
"The Condensing Rune is complete, next is the Gathering Rune."
Su Yu tried to mobilize the Purple Qi within the Condensing Rune.
"Seems feasible!"
He drew a string of Purple Qi, mixing it with spiritual power to start sketching a new pattern above his Sea of Spirit.
Initially, the loss of a string of Purple Qi made the Condensing Rune dim significantly, but as the rune resumed operation, that bit of Purple Qi slowly began to recover.
In just a minute, Su Yu had consumed that entire string of Purple Qi.
Yet, the Purple Qi within the Condensing Rune had not yet recovered.
"Seems, I have to wait quite a while."
Nevertheless, this accelerated Su Yu's speed in condensing a new rune drastically.
"Boss, you've been staring outside on the balcony foolishly for more than an hour."
Not Much Money's voice brought Su Yu back to reality.
"Oh, it's nothing—I was just cultivating."
"Cultivating?"
Not Much Money asked curiously.
In his memory, to stare at the horizon for cultivation...
It only seems necessary for the Tang Sect's Purple Extreme Demon Pupil?
But there was no abnormality in Su Yu's eyes.
Not Much Money scratched his head, not pursuing the matter further in front of Su Yu.
"Boss, want to grab a meal?"
"Let's go."
On the way, Not Much Money noticed that the atmosphere was slightly off.
What's going on?
Why are all these pretty girls looking at me?
And, how come the guys are staring at me too?
What kind of looks are those?
So scary!
Did I expose something?
Not Much Money quickly realized he was overthinking.
The stares were ultimately not focused on him, but on Su Yu beside him.
"Boss, you actually got certified as a second-level Soul Guide? And you even passed!" Not Much Money was shocked when overhearing this from fellow students.
Oh my god!
We're clearly both newbies.
How did you become a second-level Soul Guide so quickly?
Not Much Money was profoundly shocked.
Are all geniuses in the Sun and Moon Empire so unreasonable?
No, Su Yu doesn't seem to be a native of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Not Much Money felt heartache.
Shrek Soul Guide System loses a peerless genius.
"It's nothing, just went to take an exam, and I passed."
Su Yu casually summarized yesterday's assessment.
However, Not Much Money felt even more upset.
"Su Yu!"
Su Yu turned to see who called him.
A stunning youth with snow-white hair, one eye blue and the other red, standing alongside a beautiful girl with wine-red long hair and water-blue eyes.
"It's the Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen siblings!"
"Hey, there's a good show, previously the record for becoming a second-level Soul Guide in our Sun and Moon Empire was held by Xiao Hongchen.
Su Yu broke his record, he's probably here to cause trouble."
Watching fun is human nature.
Nearby students stopped in their tracks to watch.
From watching from afar at first, more students gathered, forming a circle that enclosed Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Su Yu, and Not Much Money.
"Xiao Hongchen?"
"Yes, it's me!" Xiao Hongchen lifted his head proudly, "I heard you passed the certification for a second-level Soul Guide, dare to fight me?"
Meng Hongchen secretly sized up Su Yu.
Didn't expect him to be quite handsome~
"So, dare or not?" When Su Yu didn't respond, Xiao Hongchen pressed once more.
The onlooking students began to speak up.
"Poor younger brother Su Yu, just started school and already facing a beating from a senior in grade four."
"Is Xiao Hongchen's face so thick?"
Meng Hongchen, not sure if because of what the nearby classmates said, or some other reason, blushed slightly.
This brother is so embarrassing~~~
